Spades 03:40
Spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds I need spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds Needle, thread, hearts, and clothes pins Ash, flame, forgotten science Anything to make your head spin Two red stripes smash my head in Two far gone souls who like the credit Wind, leaves, inspiring dreams Of funerals and broken teeth Counters slide with cards and cartilage Wiping down the staircase of fingertips... (chorus) So don't forget what made you that way Don't forget what put you all in disarray A mid aged woman in her aging house Where the husband's late and the daughter's out, she’s out now and She baked the conversation to a crisp While the daughter screams about her lack of smudged red lips, red smudged lips Cafe bustelo and ink stains on ice Old friends show up with a nice surprise... (chorus) Don't forget what made you that way. Don't forget what put you all in disarray On a porch lighted by faces Every word is a participant Stories told of a live corpse we're chasing Until someone drunkenly rants. With limp connection, To our loving mentions, Of sisters and brothers alike. I turn to you, me and my floorboards of youth And whisper a well known secret i can't fight (chorus) Don't forget what made you that way. Don't forget what put you all in disarray Spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds I need spades, clubs, hearts and diamonds

Luckies 06:03
Sleep seems so far away from me Rest isn’t in my periphery Steps taken feel like fiction Me and my nostalgic addiction Make every action a decision Branches divide like spilt water And you clean it up with a hundred dollars And tin cans that read RC And cartons that make you Lucky Or so I was told… (chorus) Can’t you just be done? Like the rest of us, Stop putting that hammer down And abandoned houses whisper hints to me And the worst people I know are kind to the ones they meet And then the door is closed And it’s clear that every stance was posed… (chorus) Can’t you just be done? Like the rest of us, Stop putting that hammer down And preachers painting the walls of your mind With every stroke you got less of yourself to find And not because it was found, simply because it’s just not there And I was taught this was fair… (chorus) Can’t you just be done? Like the rest of us, Stop putting that hammer down

Red Skies 03:42
Leave the air and the earth to play Eyes big and too much to say Six hours have passed by in the last thirty seconds Leaving me and you, the legends (chorus) What do you do when the skies turn red? What do you do when you find yourself but not your bed? What do you do when everything is too deep? And the only part is your ego that’s asleep Leave the fight in your only son And the war with his head that he hasn’t won He’s always been short of trick cards And time for the boundaries to be gone so far (chorus) What do you do when the skies turn red? What do you do when you find yourself but not your bed? What do you do when everything is too deep? And the only part is your ego that’s asleep The war is over and nobody won And I never thought that I would see the sun But my ego is still dead on the floor But suddenly it’s not so deep anymore

It’s been five years, to the day Since it’s been this way I still remember the leafs And how they swayed The burning red in the trees And the heart of a new family One god damn strong comradery I see an old man cry Who wants his son back With a woman who once had four But she lost one fast And the three remaining brothers Spoke to us in kind regard Trying to sustain the tattered remnants Of our hearts I still see three broken shells Who want their brothers lack To be filled and to be thrived For him to come running right back Now I see children Who’ve gone their separate ways Keeping in touch but out of Birmingham Where they used to stay Back in those comforted nights When we’d hold each other together Dry every tear Make sure we’re all better And I have my brother He can’t cry behind closed doors He tried and he tried but they never fell But he wishes that they would Next time I see him I’m gonna hold him tightly Heal wounds on his chest and in his heart The best that I could And I watch my mother Weap on her wedding anniversary She’s looking for him Who seems to be missing And we don’t know where he went But he never made a scene And now it just plagues our hearts with hopeless wondering I’m sure that every one of us Has had a moment alone Where we are speaking out loud To a ghost And we ask him how it is And we tell him how are we Until a chilling realization That he’s not in our company

Datsun Era 04:05
Take me back to the datsun era When I first saw the happiness in my father’s eyes 120 down 65 Never seen him more alive Oh, I swear doesn’t get much better than that Please take me back (chorus) Stripes on a Z Never looked like scars on me Houses and doors Coming in fours And I don’t know when it will be back But, to these mid life crises I’m attracted Caught in a windshield Wondering if I’ll ever see Being glass ain’t as easy as it seems And getting caught in everyone’s cracks And making up for, every good trait you lack (chorus x 2) Stripes on a Z Never looked like scars on me Houses and doors Coming in fours And I don’t know when it will be back But, to these mid life crises I’m attractedq
