Cannonball 03:21
As a kid I was a cannon ball Now I’m just an atom bomb As a kid I was a cannon ball Now I’m just an atom bomb I don’t know what I‘ve said But I bet I’ve grown since then I don’t know what I‘ve said But I bet I’ve grown since then As a kid I was a cannon ball Now I’m just an atom bomb I run in circles chasing my tales my tail Always had trouble pacing myself If I fell six stories Story to tell Say what I mean Don't mean what I say Say what I mean What I mean to say Is I pull my teeth Till it hurts my brain I Pull my teeth Till it hurts my brain I run in circles chasing my tale my tail Always had trouble pacing myself If I fell six stories Story to tell If I fell six stories Story to tell I don’t know what I‘ve said But I bet I’ve grown since then I don’t know what I‘ve said But I bet I’ve grown since then

Noah’s arc is a bar on stilts God takes back all the people he killed Dad and mom got a pantry of guns Protect the air in my tiny lungs In my heart there’s a river of mud In my heart there’s a river of mud Inside the blood Like father like son In my heart there’s a river of mud Earth takes back all the mortar and brick God laughs at the working stiffs Little streams all around my feet In the summer of 93 In my heart there’s a river of mud In my heart there’s a river of mud Inside the blood Like father like son In my heart there’s a river of mud 93 is a river of mud

Jesus Christ 03:24
Jesus Christ was just like me When he smiled he showed his teeth Hide some eggs behind a tree Not a place on earth that God can’t see Now I lay me down to sleep Pray the lord my soul to keep When I die then I’ll be free If I get to heaven I can finally meet Jesus Christ he’s just like me When he smiles he’ll show his teeth Put some gifts under a tree Not a place on earth that God can’t see If I die before I wake Pray the lord soul to take When I’m high the judge will see If I get to heaven if I can breath Jesus Christ was just like me When he smiled he showed his teeth Jesus Christ was just like me When he smiled he showed his teeth Inside my mind is a tiny light I don’t know where it goes at night Behind my eyes is a tiny light I don’t know where it goes at night Jesus had a last supper and he left the bill Gave a big smile said, "Take it how you will" Had a stigmata with paint and pills Lost the hope but I kept the guilt God wrote a book with a big sequel Said, "Good luck" and "Take it how you will" Had a stigmata with paint and pills Lost all hope but I kept the guilt Lost all hope but I kept the guilt Lost all hope but I kept the guilt

Shit Storm 03:48
Cut lines to the front of trails My train runs on powder rails Lost myself in a mirror on my hand I lost myself in a mirror on my hand Found myself at the edge of the land I found myself at the edge of the land Sea sick Bad trip Shit storm Jump ship Man down I’m overboard Man down I’m overboard Passed out on the ocean floor Passed out on the ocean floor Sea sick Bad trip Shit storm Jump ship Hitchhiking an ocean Sea sick Bad trip Shit storm Jump ship Hitchhiking an ocean

Townies 03:21
I rolled my map to cigarettes when I knew all these intersections Rolled my map to cigarettes when I knew all these intersections Our whole city is one way streets Yeah our whole city is one way streets Better pick the right reason To do the wrong things 'Cause our whole city is one way streets Can’t help the feeling Someone’s not around You'd get lost just thinking About the size of this town Trace the lines of my dinner plate My driveway’s just figure eights I trace the lines of my dinner plate Now my driveway’s just figure eights I can’t leave town with all right turns I can’t leave town with all right turns Better draw my plans And watch them burn I can’t leave town with all right turns Can’t help the feeling Someone’s not around You'd get lost just thinking About the size of this town We float in clouds with sinking feelings Welcome all and thanks for leaving Take a moment for our host Father son and holy smokes We’re on fire and no one’s screaming Thank you for this lovely evening Raise your glass and make a toast Here’s to disappearing ghosts But better believe Nothing's bigger than our mouths Better believe Nothing's bigger than our mouths Can’t help the feeling Someone’s not around You'd get lost just thinking About the size of this town

Too Soon 04:08
One day when I run this town They’ll have a parade when I run you out I said one day when I run this town They’ll have a parade when I run you out I got gills and I can’t swim I won’t play if I might win I got gills and I can’t swim I won’t play if I might win Can’t get there from here Can’t get back home Can’t get there from here So many places you can’t go Can’t get there from here Can’t get back home Can’t get there from here So many things you don’t want to know When my first friend died I did what I always tried When my next friend died Just did what I always try to do When my first friend died too soon I did what I always do And when my next friend died too soon We did what we always do When my fifth friend died too soon I did what I always do And when my sixth friend died too soon We did what we always do ways do Can’t get there from here Can’t get back home Can’t get there from here So many places you can’t go Can’t get there from here Can’t get back home Can’t get there from here So many things you don’t want to know

This family of clowns Keep a clean tent To put on an act Is cheaper than rent When the circus is home! Why feel safe? Life in a dream Your smile under lights On the trapeze When the circus is home! Wondering wandering worldly and otherly Awesome impossible sultry discovery Found in a swamp of abysmal debauchery Family that fearlessly lays in the lion’s teeth Without a wince or a whisper of worry Watch as they whisk you away with their whirling! Aerial feats Without a net To put on an act Is cheaper than rent When the circus is home!

Good Bugs 06:13
Born sick Born too soon There’s almost nothing that I would do To fit Wanted to put on a show Wanted my family to know I exist Drag me around by my wrist I never cry I’m the best I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself I've been writing a book Rebuilding my childhood Oh god what happened to me? I can’t remember my family I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself Yesterday is too soon so I’ll stay in my room All the way to the moon in a great big balloon And I’ll float in the skies like a boat on the tide Have I told enough lies have I wrote my goodbyes to them Swear I’m not there so I go to the mirror We both stand there staring till we disappear The glass begins melting this must be some hell Or a well that I fell in won’t somebody tell him If I can’t eat Then I can’t sleep Then I can’t keep my job If I don’t believe in myself Then how could I believe in God? I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself I raised myself Now I raise the sun myself
