Sunshine Grave Down upon the tracks at night Staring at the light while I’m holding her body tight Right there next to mine. The ghosts of yesterday The ghosts of modern days The ghosts of dogs and cats Come crawling back thru the membrane The girls and all their charms The rails and false alarms The sounds of evening tide Come crawling back thru the membrane Out upon the tracks at night You really don’t know how far you go To commit your silly crimes You take it one You take it one step at a time You caught an eastbound lumber train Smokes in the pack and a light in your brain On an east bound lumber train No you don’t You don’t need to count the days On a runaway, Ashville-bound train Down upon the tracks at night Staring at the light while I’m holding her body tight Right there next to mine. Someday, you’ll bring me the rainfall on my headstone At my grave Maybe someday, I’ll bring you some sunshine From my headstone At my grave Sunshine grave

They spell their names with a big ole brand Set their smiles and shake your hands A technocratic master plan Love your corporate candyland Well first it started with a man Eyes on the price, and a fortune’s fan Mortally wounded in the desert sands Love your corporate candy land (Solo) Lay your pavement, change your lands Build your greenway time demands An arrogant glittering city of lambs A military magnate corporate candy land The city’s got glittering avenues Pick one you want and you’ll never lose Settled in the Aventine out on the hill Senators pillage and they pay their bills To remain there as a guest of the man Who runs this corporate candy land (Solo) There aint no jobs and there aint no pay That aint pushing paper for a bureau’s maze Sending out money takes a lot of your days Paying for the man while he swings away He’s setting up bombs in their shopping malls He’s decking the halls so the bigger they fall So never turn around or you’ll see the sands Shifting down there in corporate candy land They spell their names with a big old brand Drive their humvee black sedans Send our kids to Afghanistan Goddamn this corporate candy land Goddamn this corporate candy land GOD DAMN! This corporate candy________________land

Some chump motherfucker’s question Whether justice survives today Whether natural habits die hard Whether nothing’s left to say Well pull up a chair and have a listen my friends I’ve got a little story to tell, About a land where the trade in ivory Carries a whole nother price to sell Elephants there, got hunted you know They got hunted mighty hard Yeah they put em down there by the millions then Let their bones dry in the yard (Chorus) But now the elephants on parade In from the jungles and out for the day Put a song of woe and a drink in their heart It’ll bring back memories Pressure builds up at times like these So we ought to try and recognize That maybe just maybe a little bit of justice Could sweep in from the night It seems like a crop of some youngsters By them, elephants yes is what I mean Stumbled onto some fermented beer That had come from the factory Well the songs were sung, the fields were torn Then the roads ran wet then dry They say the memories of many an elephant Run from here to high But these weren’t some domestic types Who always knew what would come They were in from the hills and ready to roll With destruction on their tongue Now they laid waste nearly bout forty fields, Hundreds of fences and huts Yeah they tromped thru the streets and they blew their disgust On the blood caked village ruts Then they came upon a pack of unfortunates, no, They never even paid them heed Cause its eye for eye, tusk for tusk And blood got planted in fermented seeds (Chorus) Now it aint quite justice cause some of those children were never even ready to die But think of the imbalance before you shoot them Cause elephants memories run here to high Some of you might question Whether justice survives today Whether natural habits die hard Whether nothing’s left to say Well I’m glad that you stopped and had a listen To this story that continues to unfold Cause it happens there many times over again Where the leather and ivory’s still bought and sold (Chorus)

Well its raining all over in the Jackson Night And we pass a pull over by the blue and white Who are reigning in the drunkards on the soggy streets Trying to keep a lock on society Yeah its raining all over in the tragic sense Got a painting that was hoisted without recompense And the burglars are eating all the food in my fridge While we’re stepping out to eat at the old oak ridge But a games a game when you’re having fun And I’m poor enough and she’s richly done To be giving me candy in the misty night Without a pull over from the blue and white Well its raining all over yeah its raining on down She takes off her pull over then we go to town Cause there’s nothing much sadder than to waste a ride Staring out the window in the gloomy night There’s a siren in the distance as we lay complete With a fog in our bodies after wet back seats Then we laugh out loud cause we feel so fine Staring at the ships in the old black line Cause its raining all over in the world tonight And the distance we travel brings new delights Under silky black curtains of the falling rain Stumbling to the beats of the back room swing

It started as a dare it ended in a tree There’s a bridge that now runs through it It was once for you and me People carved their names to forever grow On the old lover’s tree Where they married our bones It rained from the sprinkler, she’s locked in my arms Cherry tree, willow eyed, beech-haired blond She never got married she’s waiting for me Out by the road where we once shared the tree Settled down and rolled it again Settled down and rolled it again Bomb, beech, shackle, lackey If you look really close, at that old gnarly tree You can see that its me, in her arms oh so green If you look really close, at the bark and the leaves You can see that we’re dancing, For what seems to be, Eternity The land changed, the seas shifted, The birds flew away, but they returned again The people came, the air lifted The fire grew from their veins, And our lives forever changed Well we danced into the future our bones and our souls Found each other fell in love again and again Try and tell me, we’ll I’ll tell you my friends We always had a home that kept us in the end Yeah, Leaves and branches blowing in the wind Yeah, Leaves and branches__________________ Blowing in the wind_________________________ we danced that dance again Yeah, we danced that dance again Yeah, we danced that dance again Hell, damn cultural beliefs Damn original sin Damn what the others said Hell, damn what those others did So danced that dance again, And we danced that dance again And we danced that dance again, Yeah we danced that dance again Somewhere in a forest A new seed grows Another couple falls in love And they try to never let go They try to never let go They try to never let go_____________________

The razorbacks and tazers and devils for the side kick On the loose end of society, shakes with the holy light Forgotten in the tunnels by the train tracks is a bum called negligence, And all your friends are there Chorus And I I knew your name back in 1978, I knew your name back in 1979 I knew your name back in 1980 But how, wow, I just can’t remember it now___________________ No, I just can’t remember it now_____________________________ The crickets cried in the darkness, crawled across the window And scurried cross the floor. My brother stifled back sobs in the night time, gone hungry Well you know what family’s are for Elevated porch babies need lots of notice, Or else they’ll go flying and dive into boulders Teach your children well, the dangers of alcohol and tobacco By giving it to them young Bowls of strawberries, And wedding cakes in their prime Virgins untouched and waiting for my fingers Bands on the porch they played for my Uncle Bill and Aunt Sharon And lasted until Dawn (Chorus) Finale-Altered Verse- Cause they all, saw the child But they never thought to notice That the child was born with sensitive tendencies Stored in the membrane, deep in the conscious recorder Playing out, all of these brilliant C’s Yes, playing out, all of these deficient C’s Yes playing out, the love of a Louisiana Couple In Old Arkansas In Old Arkansas In Old Arksansas___________________
