Will that water mix with blood
to make the hollow man decide?

Silver spikes and mace displayed in your eyes
Fearlessness cannot fathom what's on your mind

half the trouble is in the asking
I know your not the kind to wait around taking chances with no intent to make a killing
too much living is no way to die

It was only circumstances
But its the difference that gets in the way no race is run in this direction
You can't breakeven
You can't even quit the game

Together we'll burn either way

For every drop of sweat that it takes to speak out and wonder
Knowing how or when to duck next
Sitting here punch drunk all the wiser

News travels slower than ten second buzz

when the bible is a bottle
and the hardwood floor is home
when morning comes twice a day or not at all

All of Last Minute Shakedown, but mostly:

"Its not easy to change.
Not losing this thirst."

I just really love that song.

Bruises will heal in matters we feel have taken over the rhythm of living

Now and then it keeps you running.
It never seems to die.

From the dying dust
a marauding shine
for the shed skin soul

would the clouds in your head all fade away
would song and dance start and find a parade
would the shroud of turin be upstaged
would the pull of the earth be enough of a weight

southbound you can taste the weather
feels like home

Working in the halls of shame.
Lay it down in full view, lay it down.

Slate is a timeless masterpeice.

"Everyone alright?"

"Thanks for coming out tonight."

handcuffs hurt worse when you've done nothin' wrong

SEND OFF FROM YOUR CASTLE ON HIGH YOUR TALK IS TALK SOLELY IN YOUR MIND
CLAIMSTAKE YOUR FINAL WORDS WHAT GOES AROUND IS KNOCKING AT YOUR FRONT DOOR

the whole song 's attraction is Jayspeak...sorry bout the caps
THERE WILL BE DROUGHTS AND DAYS INUNDATED
UNVEILINGS FREE FROM SATURATION
PUNDITS THAT PUSH HEADLONG FOR ATONEMENT
FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS DEVOTED TO LIVING
THERE WILL BE WATCHERS THAT PLY FOR NEW CONFINES
AND THOSE COMMITTED TO SOCIETY'S CIRCLES
UNWARY COGS WITH NO CADENCE OF VIRTUE
THERE WILL BE MACHINATIONS UNFORESEEN
SLEEPWALKING SENSE FROM A BAD DREAM
NO PROMENADE WALK IN THE PARKWAY
THERE WILL BE CATCHWORDS FILLED WITH INFECTION
CIRCULARS TO PROP UP OCCASION
NO GOLDEN MEAN TO GUIDE THE FOOTSTEPS
THERE WILL BE LEVELS ON HIGH HILLS THAT APPRAISE
THERE WILL BE UNCHANGING CERTAINTIES
BAROMETERS THAT FOLLOW THE STAMPEDE
THERE WILL BE SIGNPOSTS OF INDICATION
SEMAPHORE GO SIGNS AND WARNINGS
HAILSTONE HALOS AND COUNTRY BLUES WAILINGS
THERE WILL BE STRAINS THAT BREAK OUT OF STRAIGHT TIME
THAT PAVE WITH GRACE DIFFERENT ROADS TO THE SAME PLACE
NO CONSEQUENCE TO REPAY WHAT HAS BEEN GIVEN
THERE WILL BE LAYERS OF MEANS TO AN END
DRAWN OUT DAYS BEFORE RESOLUTION
DREGS WILL RAIN DOWN FROM ALL DIRECTIONS

pick your favorite...for me "Hailstone halos and country blues wailings"

"That's what I like about what I do... I'm able to come up with these songs, and people always come up to me, and tell me what it means to them, and sometimes it blows me away... what they says it means to them. Often it's better than what I had in mind."

-Jay Farrar 7/20/05
"Outlaw Country" radio interview

Yeah, I used to like that too.

Apathy is your vocal cords cut out (one of many from this tune!!!)
