A Patsy Cline Medley" Lyrics

I’m always on to something big, 
And I’m always in my head.
Not falling harder than I did,
From the 18th floor;
Who would ever wanna ever do that? 
Stars in my eyes and hats on the wall,
Half of that hasn’t changed.
I’m being productive and getting involved,
But part of me feels like playing;

A Patsy Cline medley,
Deeps blues on a Wednesday,
I’m back at the old routine.
Did you gals miss me?
Singing songs drinking whiskey,
Buzzing like a sewing machine. 
Welcome to the world, everything’s a mess.
You were born to die now you’re scared to death;
Running all the numbers never getting to the bottom of it. 

Everybody’s looking for the real thing;
Everybody’s looking for a win.
Let me show you baby how much I care;
I’m a self loathing maniac, a sad little girl,
And if I can’t have you then no one else can.

A Patsy Cline medley,
Deeps blues on a Wednesday,
I’m back at the old routine.
Did you gals miss me?
Singing songs drinking whiskey,
Buzzing like a sewing machine. 
Welcome to the world, nothing makes sense.
You were born to die now you’re scared to death;
Running all the numbers never getting to the bottom of it. 

I’m never going back again;
How many times have I told Josey that this year?
 It’s good to have a friend when you’re disillusioned,
And death will end this ringing in my ear.
Wild rose and tangerine grove,
I guess you look at everyone and everything that way.
I was writing bird songs and feeling like a fraud
,And mornings make me feel like playing;

A Patsy Cline medley,
Deeps blues on a Wednesday,
I’m back at the old routine.
Did you gals miss me?
Singing songs drinking whiskey,
Buzzing like a sewing machine. 
Welcome to the world, everything's a guess.
You were born to die now you’re scared to death;
Running all the numbers never getting to the bottom of it.

LYRICS:

Oh, I’m falling forever
I look at the cat she looks back and says,
“Do you think that it gets any better?”

I said everything takes time everything should take time,
But everything breaks my heart 
Everything takes time, everything should take time,
But everything breaks my heart

Nothing ever changes around here
Nothing ever changes around here
Nothing ever changes

Cold, do you remember what happened last December? 
What kind of person wants to live forever?
If you don’t know that you’re crazy, you’re even more crazy, don’t know shit about, you haven’t seen crazy yet 
It’s a dark dark matter and no bodies talking bout it

Oh, I’m falling forever
Who would want to live forever? 
Everything takes time, everything should take time,
But everything breaks my heart

Lyrics
All your free loving friends are ignorant and blessed, 
So I guess I'll just grind my teeth
Subcultures can be just like Babylon,
If you're not learning anything 
All these tie dye lies behind my back, 
I'm the iconoclast with the hat dressed in black
I was accepting I was nothing and realized no ones flying this ship,
But it's a long hard fall from the 18th floor in midtown on this side of the bridge
And I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't a little afraid to die,
But it's torturous living, it's torture not knowing why

Life is fast and delicate, 
And a person can be strong and feminine,
It's a crime to prescribe the right medicine
And no one knows what happens when we die

But ya said you'd meet me on a north bound train,
So I'm riding the rails again,
With my high tolerance for pain
It's a shame we can't all fake and pretend
We're all just breathing alone staying busy
You'll always see me how I was in the city

Shoulder to shoulder an empathetic voyager leads us in the sacred rites
A fire is blazing and the world is changing, and humans still ain't doing it right
Jam cults the psychedelic demise,
Reason deserves a reprise

Cause life is fast and delicate,
And it's wise to be human and sensitive,
Paid education doesn't measure intelligence,
And no one knows what happens when we die

A band is just a band,
And music can ease life's pain
It's a human-being that's playing and singing,
With a heart-beat, voice and a brain
Everybody's blood is red,
And everybody's blues are blue
We're already lost,
Why be more confused? 

Life is absurd and suffering,
And ignorance is sure of anything
Let me know when you stop breathing,
Cause no one, I said no one knows what happens when we die

"Suicidal Catskill Owl"
Written by: Madison Gerish

Performed live at No Land Beyond Batlimore, MD

I can't get this suicidal Catskill Owl out of my head
I’ve never seen something so regal and majestic just wanna be dead
Surviving on Adderall and Crushes and feeling like I’m 10 feet tall
I’ve never been so alive and in the pocket and so sure I’m gonna fall

Whiskey in a can
A one woman band
I’m a dark matter cat
With my dogs in a pile
Sir there’s no dancing in the aisle

I can’t get this skeleton man off of my mind 
I’m crying and dying and everyone says, "just give it time"
You can call me Darla Monday; it's rain clouds and open fire
Oh and I'll see you next Tuesday; I hate ya, but you keep me inspired

Whiskey in a can
A one woman band
I’m a dark matter cat
With my dogs in a pile
Sir there’s no dancing in the aisle

Rant
I'm drinking wine out of a whiskey bottle
Cherry Licorice night two? Fuck that Brothers
And I heard that Rick Danko used the facilities here once

Get the vinyl in the van after you I see my favorite band at the barn 
I got my girl behind the wheel; she lives in silver spring and my heart
I got my hand around the neck, violent thoughts are sinking; 
Boots on the ground 
It’s that Catskill mountain air; 
It’s a family affair 
Now I’m screaming at bob Dylan’s house
