Ba-da-da Da-da-da-da-da Hey beautiful boy Pedals pushing, wheels spinning, going fast as you can Wait up Black hair, brown eyes and shining I know you can let's just see Are you my boy are you my big boy Be a big boy for me Wet eyes, wet cheeks and shining It's okay, hop up, you're fine Try again, should we try again, I think you'll get it this time Ba-da-da Da-da-da-da-da Pedals pushing, wheels spinning, going fast as you can Pedals pushing, wheels spinning Hey beautiful boy Give me a push Push me along, hold up the bike, don't let me fall down Ba-da-da Da-da-da-da-da Wait up Mom, wait up

Trying 04:03
lyrics
buy track
You don’t seem virtual, you seem to be reality Tactile and dangerous, of your time, wholly mine When we went wondering,wandering, pondering Rolled around you and me, is it right, could it be Trying here as you see Hoping you’ll notice me Feeling light as the sky Filling my heart inside

Do Better 03:56
lyrics
buy track
At times I thought someone was holding the key Driving this machine But it was only me Spinning 'round and 'round I was caught in a loop My stuck point of view Always certain doom Oh-oh-oh But now every day I'll do better I'll be better than I was yesterday Oh-oh-oh Pushing papers back and forth on my desk Thinking of what's next I start to second guess Fear creeps in around all the loose edges I'll silence the voices Running 'round in my head Oh-oh-oh But now every day I'll do better I'll be better than I was yesterday Oh-oh-oh Breathe in, breathe out Life is not a race There's no finish line In death's embrace Meaning comes in moments that we make The little things we say And all the steps we take Oh-oh-oh But now every day I'll do better I'll be better than I was yesterday Oh-oh-oh Better than today I'm doing better than I did Better than today I'm doing better and If I fall I know I will get back up again Every day, I can do better Yesterday, I made mistakes But it won't tear me down Every day, I can do better Every day when I wake up Every day when I wake up It won't tear me down Every day, I can do better

Smolder 04:35
lyrics
buy track
It started simply enough As he took one long, last puff It’s no surprise, the way it begins But it’s the kind of thing that only you can prevent The first to go were the little ones Centipedes, orb weavers, weevils and tuns The wind grew hazy and the sparrows knew It was time to flee, and so off they flew And when the sun set, all that remained Was smoke and heat and no sign of rain Smolder, catch, and burn Aspen, ash, and fern Perched on high, I watched it blaze I did not try to stop it A conflagration doesn’t faze Those who comprehend it ‘Cause beauty can be savage And wild as a fox Remember that old adage A hacksaw or a hawk Though your impulse might be to contain Sometimes pleasure blooms from pain Smolder, catch, and burn Temper your concern Smolder, catch, and burn Stay still, watch, and learn Fuel...some oxygen...and a source of heat (backup vox: smolder, catch and burn) No tools...no plans...that’s all you really need (smolder, catch and burn) The chemistry...is simple...The formula neat (smolder, catch and burn) With only slight adjustments made for wind and airspeed (smolder, catch and burn) The lodgepole sprouts in ashes Among the charred remains Destruction liberated What was once contained The flora thrives and grows The animals return And every woodsman knows Something’s renewed by what’s been burned So when it’s all been burned to the ground All is lost, there’s no love to be found Smolder, catch, and burn No matter how you yearn Smolder, catch, and burn Balance will return

Stratosphere 04:34
lyrics
buy track
I want to tell you that I like to smell you but sometimes when I’m with you I forget to breathe I need an hour to buy you flowers but when I’m in your orbit it’s so hard to leave You put those bubbles in my beer You lend the place a little stratosphere When I met you I got so high I never really came down Now even after all this time My feet hardly touch the ground You’ve got me swinging from the chandelier You lend the place a little stratosphere Faster, as our vision blurs Higher, time bends and curves Farther, I feel no fear Flyer, you lend this place a little stratosphere I think it’s awesome you’ve decided to stay And you’re not gonna go away Everything was gonna be gray But now it’s gonna be okay You give the human race something to cheer You lend the place a little stratosphere Faster, as our vision blurs Higher, time bends and curves Farther, I feel no fear Flyer, you lend this place a little stratosphere

Good in Bed 05:08
lyrics
buy track
You brush your teeth and wash your face some time ago You comb your hair into a shiny silky glow Making each strand of the brown stand from the red Everything’s just right and now it's time for bed The bathroom door is a frame to present you The light curves 'round your shape too charmed to pass through And then you come to bed and it's on your face and hair And when I kiss your cheek the light is resting there You snuggle up to me in your soft and simple way With your lotion on and your floppy old pj's Just as sweet and good as the day that you were born You push your feet up against mine to get them warm You never grab the sheets, you never steal the covers You never hog the bed, you never push me over I could have been alone but I'm in love instead I love everything about the way you are in bed No peep no sound through the dark and dreamy night And then our eyes open as one in the early light And then you kiss me with your lips so soft and sweet And say good morning dear, did you get a good night's sleep Good in bed, good in bed Good in bed, honey you're so good in bed I could have been alone, but I'm in love instead And I love everything about the way you are in bed

Future Danger 04:39
lyrics

I didn’t forget, I won’t forget You’ve offended me greatly You’ve wronged me, just how I will not say But I will have my revenge I’m gonna get you, I’m going to get you But first I’m gonna get lunch Future danger Future danger Future...future danger Watch out...for future danger! I had Thai for lunch... yesterday (pad ki mao, drunken noodles) But my belly did hurt, so I had to-ooo delay (ooohhh) So today, today, or tomorrow it'll happen (it's gonna happen) The fate you richly deserve! I’m making my plan, it's going to hurt you I’m making my plan, you're gonna be sorry I’m making my plan, this is going to happen But first, I’m gonna take a nap Future danger Future danger Future...future danger Watch out...for future danger! It’s been a couple of weeks Time got away from me Just so much going on But I haven’t forgotten about you Oh no I’ll never forget It’s coming soon And it’s gonna be big Yeah it’s gonna be big!!! Future danger Future danger Future...future danger Watch out...for future danger! Aaaaaaa!!! Time has flown, now the kids are in school We closed on the house and we got a new dog But when I think of how you wronged me Still...my anger burns I’m gonna get you, I’m going to get you But first... I gotta remember just what it was you did

Home 04:38
lyrics
buy track
I stay alone all day long It don't bother me none Alone I sing along all day long To inaudible songs Along No roof, no walls Down the leaves fall To the floor of my home On an invisible string The day's blessing Home place home Sing shape note West grey home Red grey note Sing shape leaf Leaf shape note Red grey tree West grey home To sing a note takes a day And other bits of a day Two or three Gazing out at my land Gazing out at my territory When I see it and I feel it Then it's seeing and it's feeling me In my home, winds blow in my home In my home, leaves fall in my home In my home, notes sound in my home In my home, best wishes from my home

Pour Out the Box 04:22
lyrics

Pour out the box Onto the bed See the plastic legs See the plastic arms, the hands, the feet, the plastic heads Cars and trains Jacks and dice It’s a bunch of stuff inside a box, a secret life It’s a secret life I know outside the door The world is getting pretty rough, yeah getting pretty rough But here, with my box of stuff I don’t have to think about that anymore Endlessly pointless Endlessly silly Stupid mindless stuff Pour out the box A tiny plane Circling a doll With a wrestler’s face A baptist church in the background a sacred space These gothic things My comfort zone Just push the doorbell on my brain No one is home I cry for all the world’s pain I’m overjoyed by the mundane This world I have here I can’t control it at all I can’t control it But it’s fun It’s so much fun And I have something to show you all: Something to laugh at The tilt of the dog’s head That little “huh?" I cry for all the world’s pain I’m overjoyed by the mundane Pour out the box
