(C) "Roadrunner" written and recorded by O Fisher (2015).

Lyrics:
It’s clear ahead
Ain’t no clouds but for my smokestack,
Back as the sand stirs up from the dirt track.
If you’re followin’ all you see is red.
You’ll never catch this steam train and if you’re thinkin’ of freight hoppin’, think again

Bub, I’ll run you down, 
don’t take too kind to hold ups.
Yeh, this old iron horse is goin’ ahead and let the piano drop.

Bring it down.

Well.

Huh.

I’m the king of the track,
I’m the rule of the highway.
And if you wanna take a ride
Well, you better get in line pal.

I’m the law of the land,
I’m the man on the high horse.
You know the gun’s always loaded
And the horse, it always kicks. 

And if the lollypop lady gets you 
across the zebra crossin’.
Say hey to momma, go.

Well, It seems like we got off on the wrong foot there.
And that’s bad bad news for you pal. 
I’ll tell you why.

‘Cause I’m the heat of the sun, I’m the sting of the cacti.
You know, water ain’t too easy to come by
And I ain’t much of a sharing type, if you know what I mean.

I’m as tough as a boulder,
I’m as free as a tumbleweed.
And I’ll roll right over you rover
And leave you in the tracks like roadkill.

And if the lollypop lady gets you across the zebra crossin’.
Say hey to momma, go.

I see you, clear view like a sore thumb.
You got the hammer, dropped the piano, shot your own gun.
You’ll never see me till I’ve been and gone.
I see you before you even see me.

I see you, rear-view, but not for long. 
You got lost in the sand storm.
You’ll never see me till I’ve been and gone.
I see you before you even see me too,

Yeh, chase the ghost, chase the smoke fallin’ out of view.

(C) "Wayfarer" written and recorded by O Fisher (2015).

Lyrics:
I’m a wayfarer
When fair weights fill my mind;
my mind, my bindle.
And I swindle the thoughts for a penny
Neither heads nor tails 
When betrayals befall before and befoul
my mind, my bindle. 

I’m a hobo,
A slow motion locomotive train.
With feable knees and achin’ back
Never seen by me nor you.
Neither heads nor tails
Within my mindful, full mind, 
burlap sack.
Makin’ tracks.
Never in reverse,
a homeless curse.
Livin’ in my mind.
Inhabiting my mind.

Wayfarer

Leave Me Alone

Leg Shakin' Sweetspot

(C) "Deadwood" written and recorded by O Fisher (2015).

Lyrics:

I’m dead, I ain’t got no roots
The toes are pokin’ through ma boots

I’m deadwood.

But you can’t say that I’ve fallen,
No, ma trunks still a tall ’un.

I’m deadwood.

Lotsa things crawlin’ through me.
The sins, they still choke me
Like the ropes wrapped ‘round a cottonwood tree.

I’m deadwood. 

Moss grows on my teeth
And the tears and sweat, 
they stick to my cheeks
As thick as sap, clear as dew,

I’m deadwood.

The crack falters my stance.
I’m dried out and now I don’t need me 
no chances.

I’m already deadwood.

I’m crooked as the Good Lord’s book.
I asked for mercy, that don’t come to fools
He gave me one look, shook His head

Now I’m deadwood.

I await the day 
when the wind no longer makes me sway
but fall down to my knees 
and I’ll know what it means 
to really plead for Mercy

And I’ll rot like deadwood.

Deadwood.
Deadwood.

But you need a scapegoat like me.
Yeh, this town, it needs it’s enemy.
Feast your eyes on this sorry pack of lies.
Watch yourself. 
Watch where this deadwood lies.

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
