Clear the table, prepare the lion's dinner
Convention of the faithful, reunion of the deer skinners
Old Dutch nose-- now, just a bag of bones
Says, "Come here boy, how you getting along?"
Louisiana.
Beneath the oaks and the pines, we dug our holes
Bones to find
There were places we'd never go
Sometimes we ran on fear alone
Louisiana.
We moved away twice from eh place
But I still remember those snakes
Those copperheads and moccasins
We killed em with a rake
Sometimes violence is what it takes
My dad said "hey now boy, you're safe."
I took those skins and held that at arms length
Sometimes feeling love's like feeling afraid
I guess my father's fears and mine are the same

started smoking again
I started listening
To the mountain goats again
Cuz I want to go home
But I am home
Just like he said
I'm walking backwards again
Packing my bags again
I started missing you again
Saying the same ol shit again
I drank a beer again
Then I drank some beers again
I drove myself home again
Shouldn't have done that
My dad asked again
Son how've you been
I said it's a balance
You take the good and the bad
He said when waves crash
You gotta change the ballast
You point her into the worst of it
And you ride her out to the end
I was born on the land
Unlike my old man
He pointed his bow into the wind
But I just ran

Constant Buzz

All our mouths make the wind
& the planet turns with the power we give it
No matter how much you feed
the wolf it turns back to the woods
The place where it is free
So let us go straight to the den
The home that’s built beneath the rocks & sticks
Listen to the hum, the quiet din, the sound the constant buzz of becoming
When one is wedded to another
And you become a future mother
And a future father to a couple of brothers
Who’ll sing and fight and be late to supper
Maybe a sister who’ll cover
the world with color
We could live on the go every summer
And one day they’ll find there own lovers
And we’ll wonder
Yeah we’ll wonder
Oh we’ll wonder
How all our mouths make the wind
& the planet turns with the power we give it
No matter how much you feed
the wolf it turns back to the woods
The place where it is free

Remember Better

I had to look up
Date & the time
When I saw your band
With a couple new friends
at the hidive
I wasn't young
You must've been
Now you're gone
I don't know how to think about that
I want to remember
I want to remember better
We had the same friends
At least we had some
I don't think we'd met
But we definitely could've definitely could've
You played guitar at me
Stared into my eyes
I want to be there now
To be there with clear eyes
I want to remember
I want to remember better
