about

Improvised live at Linneas Cafe, transcibed word for word and recorded at Bear Bones Studio with Greg Garman on Drums, Katie Franklin and Debra Windsong on vocal harmonies.

lyrics

Strung out of time and space
In this fucked up place
Heaven above me
Cant recognize a face
Moonlight sonata or something like that
I see the lights get bright
Feel my heart go black

Im a cold
flying ranger
Out in the sky with the rest of them strangers
I’ve been moon sick
And tomb stoked
I get crazy too
When I have my smoke

Harmonica 1x
2nd time drums in

take a load off your feet
rest your buns
grab some of my cigarettes
the roll up ones
be kind to strangers
remember your mom
if you haven’t got strength
just keep keeping on

it’s a highway
to hell they paved
it’s a strange night
to dig this grave
im losing hope on humanity
im going down east
where the shit fills up
these pits of Hades

now sugar pie plums
are all very fine
I hear these strange things sometimes

I been waiting
I been hesitating
I been losing my cool and mis creating
I watch this town grow fat with calf
Like they got some endless supply of cash
I wonder how its gonna be
When our children grow up
I wonder how its gonna be
If everybody tries to get too much

I wonder how its gonna be
If we cant get back on that beautiful green ball
And take it on home

Mothers protect your fathers from your children
Children protect your memories from the tv
Gross neglect grows knee deep
This world needs fixing
The things we want to keep
What are the things I want
Richie U know.
The green green grass may you forever grow
Lifestyles of the rich
Hell I aint got no use
What good is rich with all the abuse
Im looking up these halls of heaven
Im looking at this highway to hell

What we gonna give
to these sands of time?
Whatta we give to these Hands of time?
Whatta we give
Whatta we give to these hands of time?
