I drive straight toward the midwestern sun, east coast winter on my mind
Had a feeling a long time ago I should have left my lover far behind
But here she is sitting next to me, while i try to stay at 75
This decision was not well thought out, second guessing all the time
Threw some pennies in the trunk
Thought that it might change my luck
But now a little mean man, with a gun in his right hand
Is gonna tell me what to do
Had to listen to him too
I bet their pancakes come from a mix, their five cent coffee tasted old
My hand was dealt and i was stuck with it, my brain was screaming to fold
The photo booth gives a great souvenir of all the false smiles and the lies
I think of some far away land, and i beat it on down the line
I drive straight toward the midwestern sun, east coast winter on my mind
Had a feeling a long time ago I should have left my lover far behind
But here she is sitting next to me, while i try to stay at 75
This decision was not well thought out, second guessing all the time

Machine guns around the corner
Ensure law and order
If they're armed then arm yourself
The bourgeoisie they should be frightened
They are aware their time has come
God damn right they've used you plenty
The time has come for someone else
Machine guns they're at your doorstep
They are here for what you done
You opened your door
You said what you saw
And now they're gonna kill your dog
So keep your pistols at the ready
And keep that trigger finger heavy
The days were in look pretty grim
Prepare yourself and strap on in

I met a man
I couldn't understand
How he did what he did
A man's best friend, now laid to rest
By the shotgun blast of a lunatic
That's the least, she watched it too
Ten years old, a beloved pet
Of course she now became upset
So what's he do? He turns to you
With the butt he hits you
And knocks you out cold
Now remember man she's only ten years old
He shoots and shoots, now low and behold
She's soiled all her clothes
He strips her bare, and by her hair
Drags her across the house
Past his lab, where he cooks his speed
What more could a man need?
The lunatic, i've heard him laugh
But I still couldn't look past his past
A daughter's life shattered
Crushed beyond repair
Ten years old, low and behold
Lost beyond repair

Time is a ribbon
Lost in fission
Without a cloud in the sky
Life is illusion
Just pasted together
A series of folds till you die
Lately i've been thinking about the time
I think i figured out where it goes
To a town about a hundred miles south of buffalo
Pain is a daydream
A misled moon beam
The new “eyes on the prize”
The future is rotting
Pulled very quickly
From out under our feet

Don’t you know babe im a liar
Soon you'll see babe i'm on fire
When you see me coming through
you better smother me and hide
I've seen the devils face
I've looked him in the eye
I'll remember it forever
Until the day I die
The angels they will sing
The children they will cry
But i'll keep looking baby
For something I can't find

Still Nothing

They circle the lot
I look deep into the sky
And into my heart
But no one can really seem to see
I search the ground, dig my hands into the dirt
Its nothing, still nothing, only me
What they see is all that matters
But it tears at me
Opens me up and i cant put it back together
The stitches break, the staples bend away
And in a flush of rain, it flashes in my vision
Its nothing, still nothing, only me
I've been broke for as long as I remember
But they never seem to care
All my friends are all dead on the inside
With their hearts as cold as me
I start my car and forget about the future
Think of nothing, still nothing, only me
And I'll drive, and i'll drive
And then theres nothing, but i'm still driving
And empty cup, a broken arrow
Forget about the last chance, it's already to late
The vultures they'll eat well
On what is found of me
Let my spirit haunt their souls like a demon
It's easy, easy as can be
I hope in death they can tell me all the answers
But it's just nothing, still nothing, only me
And i'll die
Oh lord i'll die
The jeans all fit, and the drinks are cold
An overflowing cup
A steadfast arrow
That was my last chance
Now it's too late

Devil's breath on my neck
So hot its left a hole
Deep enough to see my soul
Devils hands on my face
Feels so good i close my eyes
Hold my breath, prepare to die
Devils fire on my toes
Scorch my flesh all crispy black
Should have known how to act

By the time I passed the country line, I was already too late
Out of Brule and into buffalo, where the wild man goes to play his hand
Just one more day and they'll decide for me, just how long i'll be staying
Thank you to the anchor
And thank you to the river
I've been sick for what’s felt like years, fighting back my tears every day
And I hope that I feel better tomorrow, when judgement comes for me and my soul is saved
But tonight i'm gonna hide away, because the drinks they serve in buffalo are two for one
And I smoke too many cigarettes, as i watch the time fade away
So take me away
From South Dakota
Where justice dies
Behind the prison walls
Vacation ends
In south dakota
Where freedom sings
Once the men are paid
When it came the morning man it stings like hell, and I still can't tell just what I did wrong
It’s still pretty early as I tie my tie and mosey across town to the anchor grill
I drink an extra coffee and I close my eyes, how can they sympathise with a man like me
Now the time has come and I'm looking at that door, so I look it in the eye and I light another cigarette
So take me away
From south dakota
Where justice dies
Behind the prison walls
Vacation ends
In south dakota
Where freedom sings
Once you pay the boys
Bury me here
In south dakota
I've already died
Just let me be

Chum stacked smoke stacks eight miles high
And I still can't look him in the eye
Lined to the brim and stuffed full of fluff
Keep eating like that boy you'll never get enough
Walleye swimming the river far as I can see
Come on over here and have a seat next to me
Im a desert dog
Floating in the sea
I'm a lonely dog
Scratching for a flea
Silt stained ocean beds ten miles thick
The thought awaits and it make me sick
Soaked to the bone, it's cold as can be
Open your mind kid and set yourself free
A cat in a barrel that is drunk in a skunk
What's in that car man, what's in the trunk
Folklore pork rinds fill up my nose
What awaits after death that nobody knows
Scrubbed out clean and washed all the way through
What happened before is what nobody knew

Feel like cooking up a recipe for you
Seems like chili is what they like
Its a bean filled stew and its a real delight
Brown up beef in a pan
Get those spices toasting right
Kidney beans? I think i might
Don't forget onions and peppers too
Tomato thickens and it makes me tick
Cookin it down, now that's the trick
Make a chili it's their favorite stew
Beer for the pan, and one for my mouth
That's what makin chili is all about

I once heard the key to serenity is never looking back
A new life every day and only laughing at yourself
Strenuous laughter is what heals
While vigorous exercise is the fountain of youth
What about the good dying young
And their spirit living on forever
I looked back and only found
A life nobody remembered
Turn a blind eye to pain and seizing what it is that's yours
You couldn't remember if he spread goodness or evil
And you're not paid enough to care
Happiness is not gained from fame
But the wealth that comes along with it

Plunging through the depths of time
Inside the darkness of our mind
Understand the things you’ve never sold
Wind up in pawnshops after time
I don’t think about it much, but its all i think about right now
Spent some time with a demon, bout an hour’ll’do
On the other side the grass is dead and brown
Just like it is back at home
Thick smoke and whiskey in an attempt just to forget
But i still want you around
And i don’t think about it much, but its all I think about right now
Spent some time with a demon, bout an hour’ll’do
Mistakes are made and some last until you die
Cast my dreams into the sky
Life grows colder and i'm older every day
Please Spirit take my pain away
And I don’t think about it much, but its all I think about right now
Spent some time with a demon, bout an hour’ll’do
So where were you?
