Cig Kids 05:15
Those kids talk like its cool to smoke damn, cigarettes. And I fell off, just in time to choose. So mind my faults and the tidal waves might bring you down, and oh you're gone like you, just like you. And terrible lies and eyes that you did settle on, I'll find a better you some door truth, but they did decline so I came it alone, no I came here to warn you just of batteries But just like the flood I grew up, on down I came it alone no shoulder cry on, and bending your back up is all that you want. And all of the canvas you paint in your mind, shared all of the faults that you left behind. You turn it around now they've paired it in two You're lying to yourself, you're lying just like you Alright, well that's alright And even if coming down, don't set you apart From all of the liars and the shit that they talk. Off to your head where you rarely reside, Well you come to me now, and you're coming, Yes you'll turn out right, alright, alright Well that's alright.

An armada of clouds, sweeping over and old oak line, and they all talk to me now. Awake, far too long. Lord I've been awake far too long. They don't talk so loud, in fact why worry? We are better now, I just want to be.. They don't talk so loud, in fact why worry? We are better now, I just want to be Okay, well Okay. Get on top of the fire, so get on top of the fire. Lord let him down, get on top of your soul. Sorio, well I let you go. And your so upset, cause your minds a wreck. An armada of clouds, sweeping over an old oak line, and they all talk to me know, cause it takes too long, and it takes too long, and I never want to right my wrong Cause it take too long, yes it takes too long, and I never want to be alone to try, for too long. They don't talk so loud, in fact why worry? We are better now, I just want to be.. They don't talk so loud, in fact why worry? We are better now, I just want to be Okay, well Okay. Get on top of the fire, so get on top of the fire. Lord let him down, get on top of your soul. Sorio, well I let you go. And your so upset, cause your minds a wreck.

Carolina 04:03
I see myself in someone else, In a picture on the wall that says a thousand words I don't know I clear my throat and lit one up. I started to chase the sun, I found its light on the coast. Oh, Carolina take me home. Oh, Carolina take me anywhere. I started a fire and I stood in the ashes, world at your heels but you're saying you'll never know. I started a fire and I stood in the ashes, world at your heels but you're saying you'll never know. Now all she is, all she's ever been the screaming of the wind. I wish I knew it back then. I see myself, I'm stoned in a motel and 60 miles south of Knoxville, at which I want to go home. Oh, Carolina take me home. Oh, Carolina take me anywhere. I started a fire and I stood in the ashes, world at your heels but you're saying you'll never know. I started a fire and I stood in the ashes, world at your heels but you're saying you'll never know.

Take the heart of a train get closed by the gold You open the door the again to find the oceans of steel Take the wind off the beach Get closed by the golden rods Take what own and find the love has gone and moved East. Take what you found as you turn constant sound To memories of shattered portions. And low and behold it, I've thrown them away. Yet I've conjured up fears and I've spent all my years in this weigh down, way on down. Sold my lovin' you sold my love, you sold my lovin' sold my good lovin' away. Sold my lovin' you sold my good love, now give it away. Oh yes she did, oh yes she did.

They act as they know who you are, although the gaze from a foreign field. So, don't go changing their minds, I won't go changing mine. God save the Queen, while she rests and steals your dreams then there's that dream, where I keep falling down. I've spun gold yet I've got a faded smile, it turns out it takes a while to find your sanity. And If they care, well so do I. Approach the sun that bleeds the sky, and if they always know, oh no. We'll conversate on borrowed time. We'll cross our legs, you cross your eyes and if you're gone, go on. God save the Queen, while she rests and steals your dreams then there's that dream, where I keep falling down. I've spun gold yet I've got a faded smile, it turns out it takes a while to find your sanity. To the lighthouse, traveled by sea. For the lighthouse, and battered knees. Short on the treble cause you're wasting my time. Love one another that's a waste of my time. Do you believe in? I think I might. Yeah do you deceive him? I think I might. Back pedal on, settle on just as sure as I do. Just the fork in the road and away from my youth. Well I guess I'm alone. Back pedal on settle on just as sure as I do. Just the fork in the road and away from my, you. Well, I guess I'm alone. A struggle bus, continued ride. My weary heart, my giant pride, and if they always know, oh no. My dusty shelf is lined with bribes, the books above I didn't write. God save the Queen, while she rests and steals your dreams then there's that dream, where I keep falling down. I've spun gold yet I've got a faded smile, it turns out it takes a while to find your sanity.

Low Loretta 05:17
Low Loretta won't you come with your fine dime, Oh in the middle you feel like falling down the stairs, You might care, you might carry under there My back pack, my new shoes things I've lost I've sold through you, you know my name Heard it's my fault, held my hand you never let off. Won't you be my bottom dress in the middle? Fit like a fiddle, oh you're falling down. Sweet Loretta, you come on home. The pastor's gone find you, and bring the robe. Sweet Rose sweet Rose.. Sweet Loretta, you come on home with your bitterness. The pastor's gone cut you down and turn you around to something that you've never heard of.. Grows in rows, in rows, in rows, Grows in Rose, in Rose. Said it, grows in rows, in rows, in Rose. Fast like a fire cause she's quick to forgive. She loves what she has but she's never got shit She doesn't have a clue, but she loves the sight of you. Yeah, she lives on our street and put feet on our table Yeah, she comes to our house cause she knows we got cable. She doesn't have a clue, buts she loves the sight of you, My man , my man, my man. She's four foot her stocking are ripped, Lips like a liar but she cracks like a whip And I know, I think she lost the war. He's four foot, stalking the net. Short stacked and maybe just a little too small He said his brother was ten feet tall. Sold out all her soul She gave it all away for some candy gold. I sold out all my soul I gave it all away, To sweet Rose, sweet Rose. Fast like a fire cause she's quick to forgive. She loves what she has but she's never got shit She doesn't have a clue, but she loves the sight of you. Yeah, she lives on our street and put feet on our table Yeah, she comes to our house cause she knows we got cable. She doesn't have a clue, buts she loves the sight of you, My man , my man, my man. Go. Low Loretta won't you cut a rug, Held my hand you shot me down. You know my name, heard it's my fault, Held my hand you never let off. My back pack my new shoes, things I've lost I sold through you. You know my name, heard it's my fault, held my hand you never let off. Won't you be my bottom dress, in the middle? Fit like a fiddle, oh you're falling down.
