LYRICS:

airstream, poetry, New Orleans, the shape of ur mouth 
cafe cars, corner bars, back roads, we did the south 

And I told the elevator operator 
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it down  

the wind and the willows, cigarillos and chairman mao 
Yeah I took a big hit of the counterfeit, but I’m better now

I told the elevator operator 
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it down now 
And All you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter there’s a chance that they’re taking you out (now)

And ah if it wasn’t so tragic, I’d tell u everything from start to finish 
But I’m afraid that it would lose its magic
That Slight of hand in the dreamland  
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven, but everyone was still alive  

You said you were travellin and you put me in ur pocket
You said I tasted like summer, U could feel our pine forest bed 
You words played on repeat in my head, and It took me a while to get you out    

But then I’d get a letter with you still calling me baby 
There’s Pine needles in the parchment and you asking me if I was still searching
For the world that I believed 
and I’d write back not meaning to send 
how I was fixing settle down in some quiet southern town  

Now I know u were with him all the while 
I didn’t think corporate lawyers were your style

And I told the elevator operator
see u later, there’s a chance I’m not making it d-d-d-down 
And All you moon drifters, beware of grifters in their glitter, there’s a chance that they’re taking you out (aah)

So daisy don’t come, la la la, daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
daisy don’t come, la la la, daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
Daisy don’t come,  la la la      daisy don’t come to New Orleans 
Daisy don’t come ,,     ah daisy will you come? 

And ah if it wasn’t so tragic, I’d tell u everything from start to finish 
But I’m afraid that it would lose its magic
That Slight of hand in the dreamland  
The city of Louisiana that felt like heaven, but everyone was still alive

Break Our Fall

Elevator Operator

Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You've gone to save your tired soul
You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio
To find you on satellite
I’m waiting for this sky to fall
I’m waiting for a sign
All we are
Is all so far

You're falling back to me
You're a star that I can see
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
Hope you remember me
When you're home sick 
and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails I’ll wait
I’m praying that you don’t burn out
Or fade away

LYRICS:
Hold up the firing line hold up the fire
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Hold up the firing line hold steady on the trigger's time
Walk away counting backwards from nine
Holding his breath so to start his own dying
Time time served to the ones that left you here
No people here only names soon to be put to numbers so its one in the same
It's anyone's game as long as the fire flickers
The throat stickers they place their bet the trouble is that no one's added it up quite yet
Cause when they do when they do when they do when they do
It'll be a riot and the wire is down
Hold up for the fury to sound hold up your head from the ground or they'll keep you on it
Your time time served to the ones who left you here
From tower to wall to guard to guard to wall
Ever ready for the fire to fall
The confines haven't seen the sun since the lifers let go of their irrelevant innocence
But long before a single round was shot word spread from block to block to cell block
They're going to take him and make an example of him for the escapees to fear
The incoming of the incoming of the gun oncoming another year
You either die on the inside or trying to get out the choice is yours the choice is here
Time time served to the ones who left you here
Time time served to the ones who left you here

LYRICS:
Would you be the wind to blow me home
Would you be a dream on the wings of a poem
And if you were walking through a crowd
Well you know I'd be proud
If you'd call my name out loud
Do you suppose that I would come running
Do you suppose I'd come at all
I suppose I would
And if we were walking down a dead end street
Would you be the one to let our eyes meet
Or would you just keep on walking down to the turn around
Cause you know I'd be proud
If you'd call my name out loud
Do you suppose that I would come running
Do you suppose I'd come at all
I suppose I would
And if I was gone from the land we know
Would be the dawn and let your beauty still show
And if you were walking and heard the cold night coming
Would you call my name cause you know I'd come running
If you'd call my name out loud
You know I would
I’d come running
If you’d call my name out loud

LYRICS:
Uh huh hey ya
Here we go
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
I got the mean time slipping down the slide some uptight right wing political homicide
Do what you want take what you will
Take it in like a southpaw flip it on the grill
Bourgeoisie protocol
Bottoms up boys this is the last call
Happy hour doesn't last too long you know it never does
So I sit here on a bar stool looking at the sky
Got a buck and a quarter and a bucket full or rye
Don't step out of line you'll get time in the brig
Don't yield to the mighty you got your own dirt to dig
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
Me and my flea bag friends we ran to have our own feast of Crispian
Murphy was there with number twenty-two they were got caught in the middle of a coup
You will lose me if I don't lose you
And I will lose me if I don’t lose you
So we haven't chosen anyone of you to condemn
So make your decision and choose your side or let us begin
Steeped in knowledge I'll step from the board
Down to the speak easy with my double-edged sword
You know the deal ya got to spin the wheel
I heard the heavens are full of sevens
And as matter of fact you know that cat suicide jack
He don't play like that
Truth is he don't really play at all
Leave it on the back burner take it to the dry town
Ya here we go
