You know I cared for you
With the chickens in the pantry too
Ohh and the fox outside,
With mama in bed and daddy dyin'
Oh what you want to do? You know baby I'll care for you
Oh what you want to do? You know baby I'll care for you
You know I'll care for you
With the wind rushin' and the fire too
Burnin' wood upon the ground
Leaf shaped ash fallin', not a sound
Oh what you want to do? You know baby I'll care for you
Oh what you want to do? You know baby I'll care for you
Oh, you know I'll care lord for you!
You know I'll care for you
With frosty eyes and a heart too
Can't see a thing, can't sleep at night
Countin' my stars I'll hold ya tight
Oh what you want to do, with frosty eyes and a heart too?
Oh, what you want to do, you know baby I'll care for you
Oh, what you want to do, you know baby I'll care for you
Oh what you wanna dooo, baaabe?

Threw Away My Toys
02:53
|
|||
When she came my way my friends, I did not have a choice.
When she came my way my friends, I ran to play with the boys.
When she came my way my friends, I had to wipe my nose.
When she came my way my friends, I could not use my voice.
When she came my way, I did not want to stay.
When she came my way my friends, I had to run and hide.
When she came my way my friends, I threw away my pride.
Oh, into her arms I fell, I did not have a choice.
Then like a bird with broken wings I knew, and threw away my toys.
When she came my way, I had to stay.
When she came my way my friends, I had to run and hide.
When she came my way my friends, I grabbed her skirt and cried.
But into her arms I fell, I did not have a choice.
Then like a bird with broken wings I knew, and threw away my toys.

Black cat
Lookin’ at
My black soul
You know I love you
Bad luck baby
Take you with me
To make sure
That I don't get too
Much and start to
Worry
Or lose
My head and
Think I'm somethin'
solo
My black cat,
My black baby
When I met you,
I was a child
When I met you
We were wild
And I tamed you
And you tamed me
Black cat
Lookin at
My black soul
You know I love you
Bad luck baby
You know I love you
My bad luck baby

Ode to the Serpent
04:03
|
|||
I picked the apple from the tree.
Lust, passion, are best friends to me.
I would much rather be free
Than die having obeyed thee.
The winds are cold, the fire's hot!
Yes we are naked, yes we fuck a lot.
Well god wanted us to blindly obey,
But for knowledge, thank our apple every day.
Well pack our things, we'll get out of here;
I can feel, the winter's near.
We'll take the serpent, he'll guide our way.
Don't worry baby, 'cause nothin’ stays...

Doesn't Pass Me By
03:43
|
|||
When my baby left me, you know, I started to cry.
Got my broken shoes, all hid in lies.
Lost control, one more time, of my broken life.
Freedom is the only thing that don't pass me by.
Dreams, well they come and go, and plans awry.
When my baby left me, you know, I started to cry.
Back to the earth I fell, no reasons why,
Tryin' hard to heal the pain, desire still mine.
Well freedom is the only thing that don't pass me by
When I lose everythin’ I got, no reasons why.
Plans, yeah, they come and go, and love and lies,
But when I fall back down to earth, freedom's at my side.
Freedom's at my side… mmm, time to lose, freedom's at my side.

You're not, that narrow,
Get dressed, I'm hauntin' your eyes.
You're my black railroad,
You're just made gone a-rye.
You're not that sparrow,
You’re sly and say alright.
But you're not my water,
Your river was made to dry.
Lad-ay, my marrow,
What hay you done tonight?
What's they black water,
Shine, hey, wade in the night.
My back bone railroad
My lad-ay shine a light
No doubt, she's haunted
Ba-bay do me outta my mind

|

I don't care where ya goin', I've had enough down here.
I'm gonna catch the next ride and get on outta here.
I don't care what you're sayin', can't even hear ya no more.
I'll take those words you're sayin', bury them deep in the floor.
Well you can do what you'd like, girl, I'm leavin' you behind,
Yes you can do what you'd like, I'm leavin' you behind.
I don't care what you're thinking, I'm getting out of here,
Next train that's comin' lonesome, I'm gonna ride alone my dear.
I'm ridin' alone. I don't care where you're goin'.

Tried to Make it Home
02:47
|
|||
It don't matter but everything has come undone.
I'm thumbing my way to north Californ', I'm goin.
Oh mama, you know I tried to make it home.
Layin' out lucky tonight near Wilsonville,
Oo warm my face in the gray green frosty sunrise.
Oh mama ya know I tried to make it home
The stories on the road that folks confide,
And they don't ever cry. They say it'll be alright
Oh that it’ll be alright.
Oh that it’ll be alright.

Mineral
03:59
|
|||
Where you came from was a hell-sent torment.
Raised in the mine until you were ten.
Then you packed a sack and left,
Followin' a man's finger tip.
You thought the train was an animal roaring' in the sun,
But you found the door as your mother's first son.
Oh, how she looked at you.
Oh, how we cried.
Well look how the minerals change
With some time. There ain't no shame.
Mmm water and wind. Mmm earth and flame.
Mmm with a lack of love, mmm the same game.
