HITCH YOUR WAGON
you better hitch your wagon to something
you ain’t got not engine steam
you better hitch your wagon to something
and it ain’t me, but boy you’re looking like
you better hitch your wagon to something
your motor running now is history
you better hitch your wagon to something
but it ain’t me
I could help you roll down the open road
i could rock you, baby to sleep
i could help you know where the lust could go
but that’s a secret i can’t keep
and for all your thinking babe
and all my drinking babe
we still gotta ignore this mystery
you’re a poison bite of an apple ripe
in the first fine days of fall
i’m a roustabout and the mouth of the south
the one bitch gonna rule em all
and for all our dancing around
where to fall when the sun goes down
i need a drink of water that’s a little something more than tall
“you don’t hear ‘no’ enough, my love, do you?”

DIRTY BUSINESS
he came down from the farm up yonder way
got outta there just in time
you see, heaven it gets heavy when
it’s been sitting on the wrong kind of minds
had to love him long on the telephone
til the message came through one day
he’d been hanging on to something dead and gone
he said baby, let’s get away
it was the right time for the sunshine
got to get away from the dirty business
it feels like water in my lungs
got to get away from the dirty business
can’t walk, we gotta run
help me get away from the dirty business
now i’ll tell you what
time to get away from the dirty business
baby now our time has come
gangster on my shoulder
i sent a postcard from the edge
my best friend said she’d break his legs
if i brought him back again
well sister, i’m so sorry
i know you know you’re right
but i’ve got a taste for that style and grace
and honey i’m gonna take a bite
it was the right time for a long drive
well these times have been delicious
yeah i’ve had some real nice things
but now we’re out here in the canyon and
the light comes down in rings
you know a change of scene is gonna do us good
and if you came out you would see
that far away from the dirty business is the only place to be
it was the right time to change my mind

GHOST
it was a handshake, it was a business break
we called it like it was
should have been quick and clean, i was a bad machine
and i didn’t mean to fall in love
it started simple, you came around
i was looking for trouble when my old man was out of town
couldn’t put down the bottle, couldn’t put down the pen
writing lines together in that old leather book again
but i know something you don’t anymore
yeah i know something you don’t anymore
lightly baby, idly plagues you
my ghost
flying lazy past you baby
my ghost
i took their magick and then i took their bands
couldn’t get ahead kept trying to turn into a man
but then i turned all the living rooms
to floating golden white saloons
rolled it up, and sold it back to them
now i grow breaking up fast through your floor
my vines grow everywhere you don’t go

BETTER WAY
Lily and i, when we go out tonight
give us your pain that you’re leaving behind
New York weed, amphetamines
we got all that you need
time is on our side, oil in the lamp i’m dizzy
i could be just your type, but man i’m busy
in the sapphire blue light
violets and violence, the difference is slight
if you catch my new vibe
i’ll make you in my image and i’ll save you tonight
with my better way
got to find a better way
melting in line with the men in my mind
moving the food chain with my mojo hand
we will align, glitter, Saturn, and wine
the people and i, water and land
time is on our side, fluid and electric glowing
i could make up your mind, what i know is worth showing

LADYBOY
smokin’ blunts and codeine
liquorice and honey
blushing when you call me
just a-shakin’ when you come my way
leggy baby wonder
gender-fuckin’ stunner
lush and lovin’ sour
got the power just to make you stay
the ladyboys, knockin’ at your front door
the ladyboys, saying come out and play
the ladyboys, we’re here we’re queer we want more!
wild no matter what you say
Tommy’s got a girlfriend
baby mama on the west end
but he’s sitting looking better in
my leather and my Gucci jeans
he says sugar getcha dressed up
bring me cigarettes and 7-Up
we can get together, hot weather
in the party scene
the ladyboys, knockin’ at your front door
the ladyboys, saying come out and play
the ladyboys, we’re here we’re queer we want more!
wild no matter what you say

OEDIPUS WRECKS
on the night we met, the ink sank in, we bled
then you held me to the bed and told me your name
i said look right at me, tell me the truth, are you just eighteen?
you said “baby do you want me to be?”
and i said okay, okay
you said “i’m a child of jesus and i won’t change
and i know just how to please you now baby, yeah”
in your holy face, i found my own patented escape
then you saved me from the place where i went to pray
but now your edifice turns to gray, you fall like Icarus toward the grave
you crack your teeth, they rot away, and i’m here unscathed
and i’m your mother again, what a waste
but there’s no other way i could play
you’re a landmine laying on a loaded base
i had this bright idea that the only little thing i fear
was you leaving here giving me nothing that i could take
but i’m alive again since the devil he got back in
now i’m swimming in what i win and just what i’ve made
but i’m your sister again, what a shame
i’m rapping your knuckles, i’m cracking your hands
til they break, and you stay afraid

WESTERN MEDICATION
i never settled, so i never lost
just held my worry beads, worrying about the cost
i never moved my velvet arms
til in the prison of our common ground, he bought the farm
and now i’m free
what would you say to me if i introduced us?
what would you say to me, would we tear it up?
what would you say to me off the record?
and would you love me if i was the ocean
and i brought it all together?
cause now i’m free
smoke and light, western medication
visions and dreams, nothing but my education
gold and pearls, our mirrored minds
and what would you say to me if i asked you to be mine?
cause now i’m free

DEATH DREAM
you wouldn’t leave my mind
i used to be so sad about it
sucking my blood dry
now baby i’m just mad about it
tried to read your lines
thought i could see it in your palm and know it
wasting my own time
you had a funny way to love and show it
and i was wrong, i was wrong
down in my low rich world
that i was singing to from heavy curtains
the problems in my curls
you had to chase em down and know for certain
said “it’s a bitch now, girl
you gotta watch me take and learn to work it
it ain’t no lucky pink pearl
you gotta hustle, make it all look perfect”
well go on, baby go on, i’m listening go on
high on a mountain in my mind
i would turn my head and i would find
you screaming into the wind
trying to tell me again, “just go
i’m not what you want in a man, no no”
you tried to hold my heels
but you said freedom, and i held you to it
then we made a deal
that i would sell my soul and put you through it
now i know how it feels
to dream i shot you dead and no one knew it
burning all my wheels
far enough away to really do it
and now i’m gone, long gone
high on a mountain in my mind
i would turn my head and i would find
you screaming into the wind
trying to tell me again, “just go
i’m not what you want in a man, no no”
