MISANTHROPIC STROLLING SONG well i only go out walkin when the stars are brightly shinin and the moon is high and bloody as a brand new conflict diamond and the earth is bleeding oceans cuz someone just broke her hymen and the prisoners on the hill are sleepin while theyre 99-in i dont mind if the time goes by because i was born with no conception of time and the world could end and all the people die and ill keep steady strollin feelin fine

NIGHT MARCHERS on a night so dark and silent an ethereal army comes the night marchers hear them banging with their drums and if you hear them wanna save the life in yr lungs you better strip down lay naked and play possum i was out one night drinking sterno by my lonesome on k something avenue when i heard a distant rumble thats when i knew the legends were true bangin on gourds and tree stumps like giant bell and pouka shells it was louder than any rump- us you'd imagine in hell i threw my clothes on the ground then laid down in the clover heard that mighty marching sound then turned my body over thats when i saw them passing by in royal garments and ten feet high pale as a sheet and eyes made of fire its a wonder that i didnt die

The Devil 01:11
THE DEVIL woke up cuddled in the lap of a tree thru the holes in my clothes the slugs were feastin on me the sun scorched the air and the rain was shinin bright good day for the devil to take a belt to his wife well my baby's on the way out and a hurricanes blowin in the sun's about to drown itself in the sea again no more room for emotions i spent em all on my sins gotta sing this whole world into existence gotta sing up a storm x 4 and im ready to go get crucified in dirt let them worms all go on go and give birth my head'll leak my mind and itll sizzle like an egg got this pit in my stomach and its full of a ton a lead now theres nothin i can do to take back what i done got a woman every state but i cant hold a single one tell ya if i had a woman farm them hoes would be as rusty as my grampa's throwin arm gotta sing up a storm x 4
6.
THE DUNWICH HORROR the touch of your epithelials fills me with the most rapt excitementia and i delight when one of your skin flakes falls between my cilia i flay and slay cattle daily no one has the right genome to mate me i'm a friendly blood-sucking cuss so why do you all hate me? dunwich town doesnt want me round but my heart is here beating holes in the ground
7.
FERRIS WHEEL it was the year of 29 when the world was young and free and they didnt have those bothersome precautions of safety that they use nowadays to restrict you and me from being exactly what and who we want to be they had many fine examples of the strange and of the weird they had the half man who walks on his hands and lady with a beard but the human skeleton and the human eye felt their conditions were lacking and thats when they went awry so they crept out of their trailers when everyone else was asleep pulled the pins out of the joyrides and they never made a peep when the sun rose no one expected a thing and the throng was back in line and the carnies ticketing and the horses on the carousel leapt like majestic stallions a woman had a miscarriage and it landed on some italians the ferris wheel detached and then began to whirl the children scattered like petals of a violent flower girl
8.
GREAT GRANDNEPHEW OF COUNTRY MUSIC well my grandmas uncle road the rails and sang he dropped out of his jobs and yodeled his way to fame without him there'd be no country music thang he died at 35 and jimmie rodgers was his name jimmie rodgers was the father of country music and he was my great great uncle that makes me the grandnephew of country music yeah i got a right and a missive to make this music my pawpaw was in the army and later was a postman my meemaw chased him round the country at 16 til she pinned him down again they'd go kiss up a fog under a mobile oak tree he didn't understand the words but said he liked my singing my dad was born in a family of 6 kids he's shy and his whole life is music just like me i know the dreams i live are vicariously his he believes in what i do and that means the world to me i grew up in alabama on the side of a highway 18 wheelers lulled me to sleep and ditch blackberries by may between the cottonfields and underneath a tearfaced moon you drive and on either side tall walls of pine trees loom yeah i got a right to make this goddam music i was born and i was bred and raised right up into it i even got the lineage if you want me to prove it im the greatgrandnephew of country music
