Hold on to the night, like a dog with a sock mouth
Wave it around like a flag in the deep south
Now that you have it, would you ever let it go
Or would you wear it so thin, it's gone when the wind
blows?
So you dance all your moves
And you drink all the beer
Suck it up, ya know
Gunna make you see clear
Gunna make you see clear.
Don't be scared of a strange light coming from the East
Separating your friends, "It's time to go we all
agree."
Would you believe that tomorrow is really gunna come?
You know you don't belong here but just in case you die
young.
Well you dance all your moves
And you drink all the beer
Suck it up, ya know
Gunna make you see clear
Gunna make you see clear.
Oh no, it's 5am.
Oh no, its 5.
Oh no, it's 5am
Could you be too alive?
Could you be too alive?
Everyone is gone and there's not a single cigarette to
bum
You're lost as a bird who thought the city lights were
the sun
So you dance all your moves
And you drink all the beer
Suck it up your nose
Gunna make you see

February Prorated Rent
04:09
|

|
Who came up with these clause?
Who signed the line? It was me, I've gone soft.
Who's irresponsible enough to know what I mean?
On the first, lay me down broken and bent.
Say I died for February prorated rent
February's bad for rent.
In my town every year gets worse.
Noun and noun businesses spring like a curse.
And all the friends that I want to be around move away.
On the first lay me down broken and bent.
Say I died for February prorated rent
February's bad for rent.
On the first lay me down broken and bent.
Say I died for February prorated rent
February's bad for rent.

Little Sleep

She got that wild look in her eye
And long hair down to her thighs
And she's got motion in her smile
Oh come on, baby, stay while
And she's got visa on her mind
Mexican beaches, African mines
She's got sunburn on her breasts
She ain't scared of the law and she ain't scared of
death and
I'm looking at a little sleep
Just looking at a little sleep
I'm gaining ground while I'm losing light
Just looking at a little sleep tonight, alright
And she says 'Talk to me'
But that doesn't mean that I can just anything
And she says 'Walk with me'
I say 'Where are we going?'
She says 'Life's about the looking baby, not the
showing' and
I'm looking at a little sleep
Just looking at a little sleep
I'm gaining ground while I'm losing light
Just looking at a little sleep tonight
Oakie, won't you stay?
Won't you love me, love me all the way?
Oakie, won't you stay?
Won't you love me, love me all the way?
Still looking at a little sleep
Just looking at a little sleep
I'm gaining ground while I'm losing light
Just looking at a little sleep tonight

I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know
It might look like I do, but I don't.
Kinda feels like I'm running it kinda feels
Like I've been running for way too long
Like I've been running for way too long
So sail your fingers through my hair
And tell me it's alright
Be my lover tonight
And tell me everything gunna be alright
Tell me it's gunna be alright
I really need to hear it, I need to hear it
I need to hear it from someone else's lips
Cuz I don't believe myself, no I don't believe me
I've been lying for way too long
Yeah, I've been lying for way too long
So sail your fingers through my hair
And tell me it's alright
Be my lover tonight
And tell me everything gunna be alright
I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know
It might look like I do, but I don't.

Dusty mixtape in my drawer
A-side B-side, twenty four
A in black, B in blue
What a pair. What a pair of colors to choose
Oh, the feeling that I get shakin' your cassette
All the feelings that I met shakin' your cassette
This year's love was a stable song
Shut up, kiss me, sing along
A case of you I hid from view
When I got tired of stumbling all around
And Oh, the feeling that I get shakin' your cassette
All the feelings that I met shakin' your cassette
Let me go, it's time to rock
Turn me in, it's ten o'clock
Oh, the feeling that I get shakin' your cassette
All the feelings that I met shakin' your cassette

How Old Is My Soul?
04:30

I was thinking a lot about you
Thinking a lot about everybody, too
All my mothers, all my fathers and all my friends
I know we'll be together again
All these moments I hold so close to me
Only exist in memory
Ain't that the way it goes?
How do we get to the sky? Nobody knows
Lately I've been wonderin'
How old is my soul?
It's got me wonderin'
How old is my soul?
I was thinking a lot about time
How she rocks me I could never make her mine
And how she takes away
Now even I'm finding it harder to stay
So I might die my hair and I might move to California
And it might be a while for us, my love, but we'll grow
strong and
Lately I've been wonderin'
How old is my soul?
It's got me wonderin'
How old is my soul?
I was feeling the weight of change
Feeling all those little aches and pains
In my head, in my arms, and in my heart
When something ends something begins
So I'm just pushin' for another day out in the sun
And I'm wishin' this for everything and everyone and
Lately I've been wonderin'
How old is my soul?
It's got me wonderin'
How old is my soul?

Rain Drums

Great river falling from the sky
Makes me stop to wonder whether
It's better to be clean or better to be dry?
Hang my raincoat by the door
Feels like I've been here because
In my dream there was water on the floor
Oh, me, oh, my!
Leave me high and dry
Build me a house on the top of a hill
Row steady, we weren't ready
When we danced to the rain drums
Out my window all I see is water
Why should I even blink?
I'd like to hear the ending but I'd have to meet the
author
Oh, me, oh, my!
Leave me high and dry
Build me a house on the top of a hill
Row steady, we weren't ready
When we danced to the rain drums
It's raining on the sun
Spilling out through space on everything
Flowers bloom on Venus, stars put out one by one
Oh, me, oh, my!
Leave me high and dry
Build me a house on the top of a hill
Row steady, we weren't ready
When we danced to the rain drums

Shark Fun

She takes it back
She thumbs a farmer's almanac
Serene kodak
She's always pulling what I lack
That's what the good book's for
And her demands
I'm swimming through her tidal hands
Now she proudly stands
She bought the rights to this young man
A price to clear the shelf
And still I read
But why can't I fly in my dreams?
Oh, why can't I fly in my dreams?
Oh, why can't I fly in my dreams?
Oh, why can't I fly in my dreams?
Oh, why can't I fly in my dreams?
Cuz that's what the swingset's for

Some things are better high
Some things are better low
Some things are better high
Some things are better low
Some things are better straight
Some things are better straight
Some things are better straight
Some things are better bowed
Some things are better with her
Some things are better alone
Some things are better with her
Some things are better alone
Some things are better kept
Some things are better kept
Some things are better kept
Some things are better told

Roses

You left your smell in my bed
Thoughts left in my head
But I told you not to leave anything behind
I told you not to leave anything behind
You woke up early for work
My cat pissed on your shirt
Don't tell me anything I already know
Don't tell me anything I already know
Always tiptoe when you come and go
You left me roses in bed
Thorn stuck in my head
It's funny what we do to the things that grow
It's funny what we do to the things that grow
You left your smell in my bed
Thoughts left in my head
But I told you not to leave anything behind
I told you not to leave anything behind
I told you not to leave anything behind

I've only owned this album for a day, but I can't get enough of it already. It's just so quiet, stunning, raw and moving. Reminds me of Nick Drake and Ryan Adams mixed in one. It's just incredible. Thank you

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house."
