Duck Confit
On the path of the direction of the divine
You’ll find
Vines of women and wine
In search of the gentle and kind
You can get fooled by the root of the mind
Where your strengths lead you
To great lakes of weakness
Where with tyrants you wash your hands
That they stole from the band of chieftains
Where admirers turn guns for hire
They shrug as you become victims of friendly fire
To take a look at all these thieves and liars
And ask is this what for the world was truly desired
Just who broke in the wax museum
And gave these fakes a stage at the Colosseum
They won’t melt under the Hollywood lights
The West Texas Summer sun
Where the pastor is plastic on the podium
Where he smiles with his mouth and not with his eyes
Where you know deep down inside
That something’s not right
Like a man killing the mother of his son
Cleaning his shotgun
I can’t kill the truth of the elephant in the room
I can’t hush the thought cause they sing like a convicts gloom Where everybody knows but nobody is talkin’
Where crimes of humanity are concealed and condoned By self preservation and biblical prophecy
Cause it ain’t cool to be you over here
Or over yonder
If the truth sets you free
There’s a mute with the key
And the goose that laid the golden egg
Got cooked for the grease Duck Confit

Justice

I found this brand new gift
Looking for somebody to share it with
I found this brand new light
Something within me all my life
There’s so much trouble in the world
Surrounded by miracles
There’s so much hatred undeserved
But it will not work
Cause still our love will be received
Better yet still my heart is in need of release
Yeah still my love will be received
Better yet still my heart is in need of release
When it ain’t about justice
When it’s not about what was what is
When it’s not about what’s left
When it’s not about the next step
When it ain’t about justice
When it’s not about what was what is
When it’s not about what’s left
When it’s not about the next step

Hours On End
04:36
|

The moral of the story what is it?
Where do I start?
A woman collecting bottles in her shopping cart
She’s cursing at me as I walk down the block
Mad at what I lost, like I forgot
One man’s trash
Is another man’s treasure map
Oh I lost and found my anchor
In Good Ol’ New Amsterdam
Been looked at like a stranger
By my own helping hand
Put myself in danger
Time and time again
(CHORUS)
I don’t want to battle
I want to lay you down
In a bed of flowers
For hours on end
I don’t want to struggle
I just want to love you
For Hours on End
I just want to get you back
Everything that’s been lost and stolen from you
Ohh I don’t want to battle
I want to lay you down in a bed of Flowers
For hours on end
Yeah we sing loud and proud for a fifth
And it’s not just enough to get a lift
See that man on the corner’s gotta gift
People pay to watch him hanging off a cliff
And his daughter lost everything she knows
Now she’s spotted on the light on the shows
But still she feels so alone
So she had to get good at throwing stones
And the bandstand is playing her song
And we’re dancing to it all night long
(CHORUS)
I don’t want to battle
I want to lay you down In a bed of flowers
For hours on end
I don’t want to struggle I just want to love you
For hours on end
I just want to get you back
Everything that’s been lost and stolen from you
Ohh I don’t want to battle
I want to lay you down in a bed of Flowers
For hours on end
For hours on End

The River

They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
They killed that little child in the park
They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
They killed that little child in the park
See I never wanted to lose your love
I just wanted to choose your love
Lost in a moment of confusion
Now it’s all an illusion
They’ll take you down to the river
They’ll lay you down by the river
They’ll shoot you down by the river
Leave you to drown by the river
They’ll say it’s love when its not
They’ll send you to war and you’ll
Return in a pine box
Somehow they’ll claim it’s your fault
They killed that little child in the park

War

(CHORUS)
When the war is over
When it’s time to recover
From the time of the soldier
Wanna run but you need to get closer
When the war is over
When the war is over
When it’s time to recover
From the time of the soldier
Wanna run but you need to get closer
When the war is over
Government counterfeit
Dollar bill you worship it
Profit off of pleasure pain
Go to war in Jesus name
God bless America
I must repeat just what I said
You killed all our leaders dead
Price is on a rebels head
Crooked judges crooked cops
Crooked system prison locks
Wholly owned by advertisers
Mother Mary Father Joseph
Father Son and Holy Ghosted Crucified and crucifix
Life is such a giant gift
How’d we come so blind to this
(CHORUS)
When the war is over
When it’s time to recover
From the time of the soldier
Wanna run but you need to get closer
When the war is over
When the war is over
When it’s time to recover
From the time of the soldier
Wanna run but you need to get closer
When the war is over
Yeah our time has just begun
Yeah our time has just begun
Yeah our time has just begun
Yeah our time has just begun

On My Love
04:04
|

They’ll tell you that life is short
That love truly endures
And I’ll tell you to shine your light
On what truly touches your soul
In distant times on foreign lines I never had nothing to lose
I’ll take a travel plane
To go find you
Truth to be told
You’re gonna knock em’ cold
Well you’ll miss what you’ll miss
But you’ll get what you give Ahh.
On My Love
On My Love
On My Love
On My Love

Caribbean Skies
03:59

Yea the moon lit the Pacific Under Caribbean stars Under Caribbean skies Under Caribbean stars
The moon lit the pacific Under Caribbean stars They locked on one another And they barely had a draw See she comes from Venus And he comes from afar
He robbed a shop punched a cop And he ran off in a car
Many can’t defend it
But it wasn’t built that way
So light a spliff and keep it lit
And sit and witness judgement day
The thief of Monte Carlo
Isn’t really who you blast
So sit up close and get a pulse We can both learn from the past
Yeah the moonlit the pacific Under Caribbean stars Under Caribbean skies Under Caribbean stars
He made his grand appearance
In this wedding colored mask
And he made it to the stage somehow Someone got him a pass
If I was in the building
When the band of villains froze
But I was at the window
Once was opened now was closed And damned if they just thought They fit could go and break the mold Cause Wonder Woman’s bracelets Got them losing their control
You could really love her
Or just want her for a rest
They say that man he knew the truth So true they want him dead

Sally Walks
02:55

Farewell fairytale end Look who’s dancing With them demons again Dolly got a body
That will make you
Want to stop
Use to have a talent Now a victim of the block
Sally Got them vines
Sally so fine got em standing in line Got em baited in Cali
All the way to Caroline
Last seen in Dallas
Headed for the state line
You know just how the book begins
You won’t hear the truth
From her family or her friends
We used to be together from my mouth to God’s ears We used to be in love but I ain’t seen her in years
Saw her walking
Walking in the alley
It’s no mistaking it was long tall Sally The way that Sally walks
That’s the way that Sally walks baby
There’s no changing that dialogue Cause its bold and cold
And its written in stone
The way that Sally Walks
That’s the way that Sally walks
Walk Sally walk Sally walk ......

Yella
02:32
|

What happened to this small forgotten town
Where words use to carry the weight
And silence wasn’t drowned
Everybody left for a better life downtown
And the baseball rolls slowly off the pitcher’s mound
As I stood in the batter’s box once they struck me out
I showed a sign a weakness and I swung my bat
And the fire that once burned yella turned to ash
Then Sir Lawrence of Philadelphia gave me some facts
And they lifted the weight of Olympus off my back
Sometimes when you lose my friend you win
Why does it end the good times when the good times just begin
Fortunes have nowhere left to spend
Everybody’s differences have a common ground
We let ourselves get in the way of our leaps and bounds
You’ve shown a sign of weakness when you lack
And the fire that once burned yella turned to ash
And the fortress you built around you one day will crash
And will lift the weight of Olympus right off your back

My lady love stardust silver blush
Running in and out of love
I hate that I want you so much
You’re out of reach out of touch
My lady love stardust silver blush
Running in and out of love
I hate that I want you so much
You’re out of reach out of touch
Yeah who broke in the wax museum
And gave these fakes a stage at the Colosseum
Still waters pirates yacht in the harbor
We’re here today and we’re gone tomorrow
Yeah Peace has an unfamiliar ring to it
Yeah they put the youth in jail but they couldn’t prove it
And just as the gladiator can’t never change the heart Of Caesar or Cleopatra either
My lady love stardust silver blush
Running in and out of love
I hate that I want you so much
You’re outta reach out of touch
(Repeat)
She left her lover left her lover
Left her lover left her lover last night
She had enough had enough
She made a turn and she ain’t coming back
She left her lover left her lover
Left her lover left her lover last night
She had enough had enough
She made a turn and she ain’t coming back
My lady love stardust silver blush
Running in and out of love
I hate that I want you so much
Your outta reachout outta touch
