30 Miles From Quetzalcoattl
Well, I heard that 3D Imagery’s how they made you
And your dimensions make my glasses red and blue
Follow me over to the cafe on the corner
For just one drink and then I promise I won’t follow you home
I remember when I touched your breast and felt you heartbeat on my fingers
And all of the bumps on your skin from a 2 a.m. November chill
And I’m out of luck
I’m out of reasons I shouldn’t stay here
I put the cards on the table
Go and do with them what you will
So let’s make the best of all this extra time
You figure out your mess, I’ll figure out mine
Like Montezuma was a crooner to the Aztecs
It goes to show all the gold will just bring you down
I remember when I touched your face and felt the make-up on my fingers
And all of the bumps on your skin from a 2 a.m. November thrill
And I’m out of reasons
Why I shouldn’t wrap myself around you
We’re 30 miles from the home of the gods

Cushion Rider
I took a hard look over the trail
Made my way down to the tracks and put my ear on the rail
Sounds like the number nine engine’s 20 minutes away
Put the pennies down for my girl chug an ale and wait
It’s a long bed of creosote and iron
Pick up loose spikes and blast caps on our way down the line
Neighbors roll by on four wheels with ice
Weighing down the coolers but not for a long time
Then the rumble of the cars makes the earth shake
And the car toad checks the wheels of the crib
I search for the sleeper car and I wait with a rose
Yeah she’s a cushion rider
And I’m holding her against the brass
We stare at the skyrockets through the window
We’re on the high iron fixing for speed
Hook her up and pull her tail, I want the beanery queen
She says, “So, buddy, do you do on the slide?”
All darky, no sparky this runner’s gone by

Heavy Bag
In my best Yoda voice
On, I will try you
On the 4th of July
I thought that I’d
Run that by you
In it up to my ears
I can hardly control it
On a Blackwood road
Next to the lake
where you stole it
My heart’s just a heavy bag
for you
We tried the block party
On the bridge
Where the end started
I find myself on the edge
Staring at the ledge
Where we kissed and we parted
Against all odds took a shot
With all that I’ve got
And came up empty
Too long to figure it out
What you’re all about
2nd time that you left me

Lazy Roberta
How hot is the furnace
they used to melt iron
To forge into steel
And mold into your heart
They’ve got all the answers
they’re in the prints
Guess it’s just how I feel
How is this going to start
Baby?
Do you remember 11 in the a.m.
The way that my phone rang
It was your call
I wished that I answered
but now it’s too late
Think about forever
I can’t focus at all
Baby?

Over the Hudson
Check out the pretty blonde girl
Trying clothes on through the TV screen
Names that I can’t afford
But she’ll wear them anyway
Singing all the old songs
Defending her decisions
Good reasons
I can’t argue
She’s too perfect to lose
Midnight I’m heading nowhere
Can’t sleep laying next to you
Too dark in this part of town
And the snow is falling now

The Bum Fights
I’d like to take you down to the bum fights
Down and out at it’s very best
Lay down your money, which one’s toughest
Which one do you think will bleed less
Just enough sauce on the pig
In the wig
Looking for pink in the uniform store
That’s a poor choice, yeah a poor choice
When you’re dressed like you are
At the bum fights
At the bum fights (give it a chance)
At the bum fights (a one button advance)
When push comes to shove
We’ll fall in love
At the bum fights
Ooh you’ve got January lips
Ooh warm them up with bourbon

Bacon and Eggs
Are you lying down?
Are you sitting up?
Are you looking over my shoulder?
While you sit and stare
I quickly check my hair
In the glass painting hung three quarters high
If I go over there, what do I say
“What’s your stance on the occupy movement?”
Or do I tell the truth
Just say, “I’m into you
Now here’s my very best offer tonight
35 paces from here
Check out the drawer of the nightstand
There’s three pre-rolled
If you’re into that, I’m really not sure
I swear, I’ll stay
I’ll even hit the snooze button once in the morning
If the breakfast is free
I might even stick around
For bacon and eggs”

Red Meat
I’d like to get too low on you
Where do you belong in the food chain?
Is there any chance you’d eat red meat?
I know the perfect burger stand (eat red meat)
Italian patties made by hand (find your seat)
It could be our first date
By the colors on your sleeve (long tattoo)
You’d be taking a chance on me (I want you)
And in the morning I’ll be running late

I Can’t Sleep
This road is dusty to me
You know how it moves on
Covered with weeds in the cracks
It needs work done
The way she looked in that dress
(I can’t breathe)
It made my mind a big mess
I can’t sleep
Her hair was shorter then
Artificial curls fell from her head
She had a lot to say
But I wasn’t listening
The way she looked in that dress
(I can’t breathe)
It made my mind a big mess
I can’t sleep

Where Is She Tonight?
Far away in this world
There’s a girl
That I love so much
Where is she tonight?
Far away in this world
There’s a song
That I wrote just for her
Where is she tonight?
