The Vicious V

She always spoke for him

Never let him get his

Two cents in

Now she's gone away

Having trouble counting money

Seems I've put too many

Drugs in my body

In his brain he's gone

Just a little bit insane

One of my fondest memories

A day just you and me

You taught me to tie

The Vicious V

Remember when you used to take me fishing?

Threw our lines in the water

See what we could catch

These days have fallen like the rest

They were there when I was a baby

Now They're just fading away

What am I supposed to do?

What am I supposed to say?

beyond the clouds

tell me all your fears now

why you wear those tears and a frown

drowning in your sorrow

let me show you tomorrow

don't tell me to go away

i'll be with you everyday

something about the way you smile

makes me want to stay a child

forever and ever

we're in this together

light a candle for me my love

we'll meet in the sky up above

beyond the clouds, the sun,

the moon, everyone

this world isn't all it seems

it's more like a fever dream

most people you come across

will often make you even more lost

none of us are without sin

we deserve our bodies beaten

upon our heads adorned

an almighty crown of thorns

through both our hands and feet

three nails driven deep in to an olive tree

we're hanging there

it's only fair

Fallen Leaves

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

It's been a year

Since You left me here

Thought of that brings my eyes to tears

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

Sometimes I want

To Pick up the phone

So I don't feel all alone

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

Until we meet

Again my friend

This'll be the song that never ends

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

Watching the leaves

Fall off the trees

Talking 'bout peace

Pockets

Walking with hands in pockets

Nothing but hands in pockets

Walking with hands in pockets again and again

Wearing my old dirty rags

People tend to laugh

My hair has grown long

My beard is a mess

She won't even look

Into my eyes

She puts on a mean disguise

Walking with hands in pockets

Nothing but hands in pockets

Walking with hands in pockets again and again

Got me a bottle of rum

Shadows following me

Are they real?

You tell me

They hit me in the head

Under a bridge I bled

Took me to the hospital

I didn't live

Walking with hands in pockets

Nothing but hands in pockets

Walking with hands in pockets again and again

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

We are all inside

Drinking All there wine

Now we're having fun

Until the show is done

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

You ever heard of Hell night?

They burn the town down

Last year they burned

70 houses to the ground

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Thieves are outside

Fucking with our ride

They stole our shit

To buy themselves some shit

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Cops came on the scene

Wouldn't get out the car

They told us our dreams

Won't take you very far

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Detroit Runaround

Constance Lee

Mama

I'm Sorry I made you cry

The night Grams Died

Mama told me not to cry

The Night I found out

That everybody dies

I've never seen

Such salty tears

Runnin' down your cheeks

The pain lasted for weeks

Mama

please

flowers on your grave

ribbons in your hair

life isn't fair.

take it if you dare

sitting by your bed

bad thoughts in my head

angels fear to tread

time we often spend

sickness is taking her

set her mind at ease

buckling at the knees

begging please

please please please

Don't Take It Out On Her

Mama buys me cigarettes

And two beers a day

Son calls me up on the telephone

I ain't got much to say

Sittin' on my front porch

Waitin' for the rain to come

I can't even write my name

Don't take it out on her

Daddy flew around

The whole wide world

Never got to know a soul

He used to like to stay out late

And lose control

Daddy got caught in an opium den

Took it out on my ma

He broke her jaw in three pieces

Said she fell down the stairs

Army found out, family dispute

And nobody cares

Sittin' on my front porch

Waitin' for the rain to come

I can't even write my name

Don't take it out on her

Gone Gone Gone

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Please please please hold my hand

My weary legs can barely stand

She taught me to be a righteous man

Drink wine eat bread when you can

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Stay Stay Stay with me

Love’s got a habit of failing me

She taught me to help those in need

The people of Haiti are starving

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown

Time time time has come

It’s clear to me what’s been done

Blank stares keep me feeling numb

My heart beats loud as any drum

Gone gone gone back home

She left me to walk this road alone

Sometimes I don’t know where to go

Her ship has sailed into unknown
