Now I Cannot Fly

Oh! I ate some mashed potatoes, chicken, beans and pie
Oh! I ate so much of them
That now i cannot fly
Now i cannot fly my friends, now I cannot fly
Now I cannot fly
I'm on the ground not in the sky
Spent all of the morning drinkin' whiskey, beer and wine
now that its the evening I still cant walk a line
But I don't wanna walk 'cuz
I only want to fly
I only want to fly but I'm too fat and drunk to try
Now i cannot fly my friends, now I cannot fly
Now I cannot fly
I'm on the ground not in the sky
Then I ate some strawberries and many kinds of cake
I'm probly gonna eat until my insides up and break
And now that I ate everything I'm feeling kinda ill
I wonder if i'll ever learn and I doubt I ever will
now i cannot fly my friends, now I cannot fly
now I cannot fly i'm on the ground not in the sky

Shitstorm

The shitstorm's up on the horizon
You won't have time to load your gun
The shitstorm's coming and its coming fast
You can't do much to save your ass
When that brown cloud is gettin' near
I'll just sit back and drink a beer
I've bee waiting my whole damn life
My daddy taught me to thrive on strife
Shitstorms coming, I ain't running
Shitstorms coming, I don't Care
Shitstorms coming, everywhere
When the world is covered in shit
Lotsa plants will grow from it
Psilocybin reaching up to the sky
Buncha Monkeys running round getting high
\When that shit's reduced to dirt
Ye'll just be a monkey wearing a shirt
The fractal order will be maintained
The concrete jungle will be tamed

Warmin' of the Belly
05:58

It's a fire on the mountain
In a ragged canvas coat
It's warmin' up a belly
With whiskey down the throat
It's the rumblin' of the diesel
The tightenin' of a bolt
The crunch of minus fourty
The hum of thousand volts
Fingers raw from steel strings
Mind burnin' hot like coal
It's a winter storm at north beach
Wearin' holes into my soles
It's a fire on the mountain
In a ragged canvas coat
It's warmin' up a belly
With whiskey down the throat
The rotor wash class windchill
A whole months in the pourin' rain
Tires spinnin' in the muskeg
Devil's club bringin' you pain
The scarecrow in the garden
Ain't foolin' them ol crows
That neverending feeling
Big seas in a tiny boat
It's a fire on the mountain
In a ragged canvas coat
It's warmin' up a belly
With whiskey down the throat
The chainsaw's in the buckbrush
The 'dozer's stuck in a rut
The diesel barrel emptied
Soon to all be covered in mud
soon we'll all be covered in mud

Jug of Wine
02:43

I have listened to the wind
I've tasted the seas
Followed the seasons
Like a leaf in a tree
I've weathered beneath the weather
Withstood some time
And chased it all down
With big gulps of wine
For wisdom I've question
And wisdom I've found
Could never be bottled
And carried around
But If I have learned something
From the whispering pines
That wisdom without love
Is a Jug without wine
Now my life is a magnum
In a bum's careful hands
Every drop emptied
But I've got a plan
I'll crawl and I'll scamper
I'll scramble and search
I'll follow the shadow
To the sun that gave birth
To the lonesome old feeling
Thats been passed around
From the banker to the poet
From the poet to the clown
When I find it I'll take out
That old jug of wine
And fill it with love
That for a moment is miiiiinnnnnneeee

The house where you reside
Is a rag atop your eyes......x3
So burn it down and walk the countryside
YOu'll feel the wind upon your face
And start to give chase......x3
To the instincs that have so long been denied
The shoes upon your feet
Will soon admit defeat......x3
As the weeds push through cracks in the streets
The soggy bills you clutch
Won't be too good for much......x3
When you're left with just your body and your luck
The stars up in the sky
Will shine on after you die.......x3
So face your death with a roar and not a sigh....
