Run Run Run
(reed)
Teenage mary said to uncle dave
I sold my soul, must be saved
Gonna take a walk down to union square
You never know who youre gonna find there
You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you whatcha do
Marguerita passion had to get her fix
She wasnt well, she was getting sick
Went to sell her soul, she wasnt high
Didnt know, thinks she could buy it
And she would run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two
Run, run, run, run, run
Gypsy death and you
Tell you whatcha do
Seasick sarah had a golden nose

Lonesome Cowboy Bill
(reed)
Lonesome cowboy bill
Rides the rodeo.
Lonesome cowboy bill,
You got to see him yodel ay-hee-ho!
Lonesome cowboy bill
Rides the rodeo.
Ever since he was a little lad,
Loves the rodeo.
Bucking broncs, yeah, sipping wine,
You got to see him go,
And all the ten-gallon girls
Love to hear him yodel ay-hee-ho!
Because
Lonesome cowboy bill
Rides the rodeo.
Lonesome cowboy bill,
You got to see him yodel ay-hee-ho!
Oh, lonesome cowboy bill,
You still ride the rodeo.

Cool It Down
(reed)
Somebody took the papers
And somebodys got the key
And somebody nailed the door shut
That says hey what you think that you see
But me lm down around the corner
You know Im lookin for miss linda lee
Because shes got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you l-o-v-e
Hey baby if you want it so fast
Dont you know that it aint gonna last
Of course you know it makes no difference to me

But now me lm out on the corner
You know Im lookin for miss linda lee
Because shes got the power to love me by the hour
Gives me double you l-o-v-e

Its Just Too Much
Oh, theres one thing, baby
I just dont understand
Two old women fighting for
Another man
You know its just too much
Ooohhh, you know its just too much
Oh, its too much, baby
And I just dont understand
Oh, here comes mary
Coming over the hill
They say she wont
But her sister will
You know its just too much
Ooohhh, you know its just too much
You know its too much, baby
And I just dont understand
Oh, rock on
Oh, here comes my, na, na, na
With a buckle of gold
Everybody says, hey

Head Held High
(reed)
My mama told me, ever since I was seven,
Hold your head up high.
My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven,
Hold your head up high.
They said the answer was to become a dancer,
Hold your head high.
Oh, just like I figured, theyre always disfigured
With their heads up high.
Now Im older, Im getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
Since your heads up high, baby.
Oh, just like I figured,
You know, they was disfigured
Hold your head up high.
You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head high, boy.
Ever since I was a baby on my mamas knee,
Oh, just listened to what everybody told me,

Oh! Sweet Nuthin
(reed)
Say a word for jimmy brown
He aint got nothing at all
Not a shirt right of his back
He aint got nothing at all
And say a word for ginger brown
Walks with his head down to the ground
Took the shoes right of his feet
To poor boy right out in the street
And this is what he said
Oh sweet nuthin
She aint got nothing at all
Oh sweet nutin
She aint got nothing at all
Say a word for polly may
She cant tell the night from the day
They threw her out in the street
But just like a cat she landed on her feet
And say a word for joanna love
She aint got nothing at all

Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
Speak not of misfortune
Speak not of your woes
Just steal yourself a holy death
Crouching by the door
Ride and sway to music's pain
Searing with the sides
Caress death with a lover's touch
For it shall be your bride
Wrap your troubles in dreams
Send them all away
Put them in a bottle
And across the seas they'll stay
Purple is to yellow
As sunlight is to rain
Happiness and death you'll find
Loveliness in pain

Lady Godivas Operation
(reed)
Lady godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weeps sincerly
Saying words that have oh so clearly been said
So long ago
Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
That shes found out how
Dressed in silk, latin, lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest funny faire
Pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughters son
Isnt it fun
Now today propping frace with envy
Lady godiva peers to see if anyones there
And hasnt a care
Doctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly
Turning on the machine and neatlypump air

The Black Angels Death Song
(reed, cale)
The myriad choices of his fate
Set themselves out upon a plate
For him to choose
What had he to lose
Not a ghost bloodied country
All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose
And wanderings brother
Walked on through the night
With his hair in his face
On a long splintered cut from the knife of g.t.
The rally mans patter ran on through the dawn
Until we said so long
To his skull-shrill yell
Shining brightly red-rimmed and
Red-lined with the time
Infused with the choice of the mind

Infused with the choice of the mind
On ice skates scraping chunks
