Touch Deeper

Puttin my hands upon your cheeks
I could stay in your arms for weeks
You say my name and I just melt
You know I love you more than milk
And when I hold your hand
Feel us touch deeper than the skin
I love your wild morning hair
The smile that always comes with your stare
Your kindness never seems to cease
Feel close with you beyond belief
And when I hold your hand
Feel us touch deeper than the skin

To You

The sun rose behind my head today
But it felt ok as I drove away
I get to see you again in a couple of days
Your words make me feel that I am loved
Wrap around me like a blanket fit me like a glove
We have so much to look forward to in days to come
And oh how your smile gives me life
Can't believe I get to be with you tonight
I love you, want to be with you
Can't wait til I am back here again
To you I offer every piece of me that I can give
Your beauty's in a realm beyond compare
My feet are off the ground when I catch your stare
I'm so proud to be with you when we go anywhere
I love to know you more and more each day
I think about you constantly when I'm away
I'm so glad that you realize that your also gay
And oh how your smile gives me life
Can't believe I get to be with you tonight
I love you, want to be with you
Can't wait til I am back here again
To you I offer every piece of me that I can give

Any Form of Company

Well you wanna make me feel like shit, congratulations
Cause you did a little number on everyone who walks your line
After bout a week we were sayin that we loved each other
Now I'm lookin back and knowin I was really out of my mind
I don't know you, and you sure as hell don't know me
Both viscously searchin for any form of company
Well you showed me new highs in the game of manipulation
Every other word out of your mouth was a lie
I was showin my worst and you was eatin up every minute
Yeah, you only turned on me when I started to realize
Bein honest with yourself girl
I think would do you lotta good
You'll say that you don't care what I think
You never will but you sure should
Ain't got an ill will or a vengeful bone in my body
Just a'thinkin oughta feel good to apologize
Well you ain't done it all to yourself I know but honey
There's a reason why your cryin all alone in the middle of the night
I don't know you, and you sure as hell don't know me
Both viscously searchin for any form of company

Talkin' Cowgirl Blues

Fuckin cowgirl, tried and true
Country as shit and lesbian too
And I ain't gotta prove it but you goddamn bet I could
Ain't been to Nachitoches but I lived in Tupelo
Like to drive the backroads when I'm feelin kinda low
And my daddy spent his summers growin up down by the Black River
Make a 5 alarm chili that'll make your ears bleed
Used to burn rubber in my GMC
Pick up truck with a Waylon Jennings sticker on the back
I seen Willie Nelson and I seen John Prine
And Country Graham is a friend of mine
And George Jones would be too if he was still kickin
But don't forget I'm also queer
Got me a dick and hoops on my ears
And I'm pretty far left of what my granny thought left could be
Pretty hellbent on prison abolition
And on a pretty day I like to go fishin
But throwin em back is all I ever done
Long and the short is I'm country and I'm gay
And I'm proud of both each and every day
And if you don't like either one well then forgetchya
Cause I been raisin hell since a Mississippi man
And a Mississippi woman first spawned my kin
And I plan to do so til my dyin day
Talkin Cowgirl Blues

Already Gone
01:45
|

As we have our last meeting
I'm quietly repeating
The words I think will get you
Into my ol brass matt bed
I'm here but not forever
So grab onto these tethers
You can't leave me, cause I'm already gone
Already gone, already gone
Like the words to that ol song
Already gone, already gone
I just can't stay here alone
Christ and his disciples
Can't allure me with their bibles
I've spent enough time faking it
I'd rather wind up dead
This moment's all we have now
So annoint me with your last vow
You can't leave me cause I'm already gone
You can't leave me cause I'm already gone

Scorpio

On and on and on and on and on
You said this was one of your favorite songs
But the words sound funny in my ear
When I'm the only one around to hear
Can't put your arms around a memory
But it can grab you ever constantly
And when you finally want to be alone
It will come cryin for a hand to hold
I love you more than the sum of the memories we'll never make
I know wherever you find yourself you will be making them all the same
And it's gonna be a hard road
And it's gonna be a long fall
And there's gonna be a lot of time nothin makes any sense at all
Scorpio, love no matter where you go
Believe in you with all my heart, may you never know the dark
Someone told me and I think it's true
Should try to think a little less of you
But certain songs and places bear your name
And leave me stricken by a crooked rain
For all the people that I've ever loved
Will always be with me in my heart and blood
And there among them you'll always have a place
Even as we go on our seperate ways
I love you more than the sum of the memories we'll never make
I know wherever you find yourself you will be making them all the same
And it's gonna be a hard road
And it's gonna be a long fall
And there's gonna be a lot of time nothin makes any sense at all
Scorpio, love no matter where you go
Believe in you with all my heart, may you never know the dark

Born unto the Capricorn
In the witching hour
I first saw the Lucifer
Flare his blood red jowl
In his shadow I always stand
Whispers in my ear
Summons me to do his will
Tells me not to fear
The devil had the upper hand
The upper hand on me
Tried and tried to shake him loose
Would not let me be
Taunts me when I'm fast asleep
Even in my dreams
When I wake I curse his name
Pray for sweet relief
Took a log chain to my throat
When I'd had enough
The devil he just laughed at me
Savoring my blood
The devil had the upper hand
The upper hand on me
Tried and tried to shake him loose
Would not let me be

See that girl who broke my heart
She was pretty she was smart
Gone away and left me cold
She was into rock 'n' roll
And there's nobody here to watch the Flamin Groovies with me
And there's nobody here to drive around and listen to Ween
And nobody knows the name Alex Chilton
The same seems to go around here for Jonathan Richman
I was so unkind to her
Not yet grasping what I'd learned
Now she's gone and I'm alone
She was into rock 'n' roll
And there's nobody here to watch the Flamin Groovies with me
And there's nobody here to drive around and listen to Ween
And nobody knows the name Alex Chilton
The same seems to go around here for Jonathan Richman

Chuck and Mickey
02:26
|

|
In the foothills of the Ozarks in a town that time forgot
Cousins Chuck and Mickey made the best of what they got
Runnin down the backroads goin steady with the girls
Hittin chandeliers with fishin poles to piss off Uncle Bill
They could not imagine life outside the family store
But looming in the foreground was a twisted foreign war
So Uncle Sam called both their names and Mick he lost his life
And Chuck he weren't the same without his best friend by his side
When people don't cooperate we burn their houses down
Now how the hell's that gonna make em listen to us now
These were the final words Mickey sent home to his folks
He never made it back down to the hills that he called home
Now dyin for your country holds no glory
The president would never die for you
Vietnam ain't different from Missouri
There's a father there died after his son too
Chuck he had a future as an army engineer
Wife and kids and guarantees his future would be dear
But makin bombs and takin lives was lowest of the low
So he walked away and tried his luck on music city row
But luck was somethin rarely found in Charles Riddles' life
The bottom of a bottle would replace his kids and wife
But he took solace in the fact he never played a hand
In the money hungry war machine that swallowed his best friend
When people don't cooperate we burn their houses down
Now how the hell's that gonna make em listen to us now
These were the final words Mickey sent home to his folks
He never made it back down to the hills that he called home

You Can Laugh At Me
01:51
|

Bustin my head on the wall above my bed
Cause boy I'm lonely tonight
But what does that mean?
People care about me and you gotta learn to make your own light
I need to remember and I bet you do too
Self improvement is an ongoing cause
Spread love and compassion and quit your self bashin
And teach yourself from time you thought lost
You can laugh at me for sittin on a rug
Goin to a zendo and spendin time on tinder and the way I talk bout drugs
But I urge you be transparent and let yourself hear it
There's a lotta shit that you do not know
Don't stop because it's easy there's always things to see
And always room to help yourself grow
Overwhelming beauty has been exposed to me
It's transcendent of a word in a song
Be present in those moments and let em always be with you
Even when things seem to go wrong
It's a lot of hard work and I ain't a master of it
You'll find I don't always practice what I preach
But a better life for every single person's within reach
You can laugh at me for sittin on a rug
Goin to a zendo and spendin time on tinder and the way I talk bout drugs
But I urge you be transparent and let yourself hear it
There's a lotta shit that you do not know
Don't stop because it's easy there's always things to see
And always room to help yourself grow

West Lawrence Avenue
In the middle of the night
Drove there listenin to
Songs you like
Move quietly up the stairs
The second flight creaks
Into your room
The windows open over the street
Sit in the kitchen and
Play our guitars
Scoot closer to fend off the freezing
Illinois March
Wake up at 4 a.m.
Drive to my state
Fighting off sleep
By listening to Ween
To make it by 8
Remember your breath on my back
The first time you slept in my bed
Remember your skin against mine
Hot summer Illinois nights
You stare in my eyes and say
"I missed you so much"
Talk on the phone
Every day while we're at lunch
Spring turns to summer and
You move across the hall
Packing up boxes
To move to Wisconsin
For what lies beyond
A hot summer day it was
You complement my tits
We hug and we say goodbye
By the neighbors fence
I listen to songs you like
In the car at night
I cry to myself
And let out a scream
I hope you're alright
