Pass the time away, pass the time The beats the lost and wandered I By the creek we built our boats Yours of leaves and mine was made from dandelion stems and bark Pass the time away, pass the time By chance someday, when we both fall apart I’ll meet you back at Old Mill Park Drifting on a lark, drifting on That caught the frightened lonely I In the park with children’s’ games You had guns I had an aeroplane that flew a perfect arc Pass the time away By chance someday, when we both fall apart I’ll meet you back at Old Mill Park I’ve come a long, long way To get back where I started Where redwoods loom And red-tails roam the open skies…. The open skies

Right there walking My lovely girlfriend She is the one, she is my four leaf clover Her eyes, reflect affection In my eyes, lustful attraction She is the one, she is my four leaf clover Let’s settle down, these are the best days of our lives (bridge) So come here right now And kiss me on my mouth You are the one, you are my four leaf clover Let’s settle down, we’ll get a dog and name him Bart

I tore a hole, I tore a hole in the ceiling I tore a hole cuz I’m tired of sleeping not dreaming Faster than light, faster than humans are breeding I touched a star with the tip of my arguments’ meaning Oh to be young Not to be old is what we are told What a laugh I’ve been a part, I’ve been a part of the problem I’ve been a partner to govt. slaughter of dark ones Always we’re right, always the overachiever The smartest in school is the bully there Too bad if you’re not us Oh to be young Not to be old is what we are told And that life is just for kicks When we all know that is bullshit

Brown Eyes 03:54
Brown eyes (refrain) Brown eyes… The curve of your sides Drink from the cups that are your lips And your pretty little tits My hands the size of your waist Sunday morning, let’s make that bed of yours shake There is no sign of my ghosts Your love come along and scared them back in their holes Brown eyes….

Low Roller 07:09
Low Roller For everything I want, I will have to try Nothing comes for free, always there’s a price For taking bad advice I was born to laugh, also known to cry Living in between, living for tonight Living for today I fought the laws of distraction I kept the wolves at bay For every Oscar I’m given twice I fail, thrice I fail I raised an insurrection when the coup de etat derailed My younger ways of dealing out the window what the hell My fortunes are fairly well My voice as it travels farther on better songs And a horn to play when the words have come and gone Turn the lights down Ma Turn the lights out cuz we’re sleeping Turn the lights down Ma cuz it’s time that we go to bed Then the lilac calls and she wants you to believe her Then the lilac calls so you follow her down the lane…
