About magician's assistants

I am the girl
in sequins and pearls
I live my whole life
As your prop

With a sleight of hand
I'm at your command
I am your girl in the box

That's how things go
In this magic show
I never know what you'll pick
And it's hard to see
which victim I'll be
Until we perform the trick

So I step inside
Go for my ride
And fold myself up in knots
Then you saw me in half
While I try not to laugh
I am your girl in the box

I spin on your wheel
As you throw your steel
And the colors pass by in a swirl
And if you're remiss
If you happen to miss
Will you find some other girl?

When I'm in this chest
I cannot rest
Because things are not 
What they seem

But your magic is too strong
So I play along
All the while I scream
I am the girl
Who tumbles and twirls
Never escaping your locks
My life is mis-made
I live in my grave

I am your girl in the box

Looking For Leonard Cohen

I believe this dates to 2019.  I think it was a coffeehouse/listening room kinda thing in Atlanta.  We didn't really rehearse this much so it's a bit loose.  This song tells you so much with such economy of words.  It's a masterpiece, in my opinion.

Ode To Billy Joe (cover by the great Bobbie Gentry) Live (in an undisclosed location) in 2019

New version.  This song was on an EP I released in 2012.  This is a version recorded with the Daisy band in 2021

Following the April 26, 1986 nuclear accident, the City of Pripyat was evacuated. The residents were forced to leave their pets (including domestic dogs) behind.  
Nearly 40 years after the accident, the descendants of these dogs are still living in the Exclusion Zone and a study is currently taking place. 
Scientists are sampling the DNA of the dogs. Apparently, their DNA is irregular in some interesting ways.
This song, written by Wendy DuMond and produced in collaboration with Mystic Tape Deck, celebrates the triumph of survival.

Dogs of Chernobyl with Mystic Tape Deck

Last Delicious Bite

The war within.  The war.  Humans

Get out the bone saw
Put on your rubber clothes
Get out the bleach
Hook up the hose

Don’t think about the children 
The husbands or the wives
It’s just the cost of doing business 
They pay it with their lives 

(Chorus)

Wipe the blood off your shoe 
It is what we do 
With a certain 
Ingenuity

Here on the assembly line 
At the business of cruelty 

In the middle of the day 
Oh They scream so loud 
At night you lay awake  
Hearing that sound 

Oh but take another pill
Oh Whistle while you work 
You gotta hold em still
They know it’s gonna hurt

(Chorus)

Bizness Of Cruelty

Meet me
Here
On a night
So clear
And watch as
The stars
Fall out
of the sky

Hold me
tight
At the death
of the light
Then kiss me
Say you'll be with me
As we say
Our goodbyes

As the moon
Starts to fall
And flames burn this world
As empires
Break down
And the void
Comes unfurled

Stand with me
On the edge of this knife
Love me
Don't leave me
At the end of this life

And as we go
Find your way
To my soul
I will be here
At the end
of
All tears

Meet Me

A song about my dad and alcohol abuse - Lord Calvert was his brand

I remember the smell of your whiskey
How your cigarettes flashed in the dark
Sometimes you were a mean drunk
Sometimes you broke my heart

There were moves and lies and alibis
And promises that you would break
We never had heat or shoes on our feet
But the bar tab was always paid
(chorus)
Why do the people that love you
Hurt you and make you cry
Why am I left here singing
Maybe Lord Calvert knows why

It was hard to watch you suffer
How you labored just to breathe
You never reached out for forgiveness
Even though you were about to leave

But it ain't my job to judge you
Or to say what was in your soul
I found my own way to love you
I found a way to let it all go

(repeat chorus)

Tag - Maybe your Lord Calvert knows why

Lord Calvert

Seasick

A wide thigh gap
Thigh gap!

A magic confection
To erase your chub rub
There'll be no more problems
No dimples and blunders

Never told me this crap
That all you really need
Is a wide thigh gap
A wide thigh gap
Thigh gap!

The devil is traveling to and fro
seeking souls to devour
with every deal he makes
and every soul he takes
he gets hungrier by the hour

He gnashes his teeth, rants and rages
And he curses at the Lord
There ain't been none pure
For many a year
And the devil won't be ignored

Doo dee doo dee doo doo doo
Doo dee doo dee doo dee dooo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo

He calls to Christ for someone right
pious and humane
but God just laughs and he tips his bowler hat
and he says "every dove is stained"

He ain't had no fun since he persecuted Job
But the sinners keep on sinning 
and the devil keeps on winning
and damn, this job gets old

Doo dee doo dee doo doo doo
Doo dee doo dee doo dee dooo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo

The devil is traveling to and fro
seeking souls to devour
with every deal he makes
and every soul he takes
he gets hungrier by the hour
he gets hungrier by the hour
he gets hungrier
he gets hungrier
by the hour

Devil Song

Just an old recording I found and added some stuff to. I made it into a short for now.  I always intended to do it over.  It ain't perfect. But it was fun. A cover of the Beatles classic.

About mermaids
You never can tell
She might sing to you
Or send you to hell

She might drown you
She might take your hand
But you won't know
If you're in the sea
Or on the land

About mermaids
You'll never know
What she does all day
Or where she goes

She might love you
Then she might not
She might thrill you
Or take all you've got

She might run away
She might cry
She might promise to stay
But she might lie

About Mermaids
you never can tell
She will call to you
When the waves swell

She might sing to you
Or send you to hell
About Mermaids
You never can tell

About Mermaids

Petals (He Loves Me)
Wendy DuMond and Blackfoot Daisy Band

He Loves Me
He Loves Me Not
He Loves Me
He Loves Me Not
And the flowers
Bloom all around me
And they never stop

Petals sliding down
On the ground they rot
Petals coming down
Little forget-me-nots
They are silent
They are sad
And they never stop

They feel like silk
On my fingertips
But they cut like knives
Falling from your lips

Do, do do

He loves me..
