Quarter Roam 04:07
Well I lost, my time With this one, I can’t lie Smoke rose lost hope Gets saved by the light Well it’s a wondering circle of You’re losing ties, sinking eyes Sprawling snake charm Goat skin lies For the lonely few Where the sun light abides In sun, I lost light So long my life Smoke rose lost home Gets saved by the night Well it’s a wondering circle of You’re losing ties, sinking eyes Sprawling snake charm Goat skin lies For the lonely few Where the sun light abides

Soul Brother 02:53
Soul Brother, go get your feet up off the ground! Mama, hangin' by the cherrytree Ya scuffle, handin' out the two’s and three’s Got a loaded mind, unbooted and mean So brother, cop it deuce-ways and let me be yeah Soul Brother, don’t make me turn around Got a lot on your mind today A southern brother, just trying to dig a new sound It's as easy as the time of day Soul brother! Papa, you're lucky that the climb’s on me Tripping, dancing like a honeybee Keeping up with the rhyme yeah Knocking sense out of me So, brother..... Half tipped to bleed Scrape your feet Find a scene Take it all Take it all Take it all Soul Brother, don’t make me turn around Got a lot on your mind today A southern brother, just trying to dig a new sound It's as easy as the time of day Soul brother! Go get your feet up off the ground yeah Soul brother! Go get your feet up off the ground yeah Soul brother! Go get your feet up off the ground yeah

You’ve been telling me, that I ain’t the one. You’ve been telling me, I’m no fortunate son. Well I know that, that’d be a lie. Look at where you at now, and look at where am I. Look at where am I… Boogie Woogie! Won’t you boogie down? Boogie Woogie! Won’t you boogie down? I be up here, playing them old school tunes, Like Tampa Red or your Big Bill Broonz. Ain’t no delta blues, or your Ragtime! Put on your dancing shoes now, because it’s homeslice time. It’s homeslice time… Boogie Woogie! Won’t you boogie down? Boogie Woogie! Won’t you boogie down? Blues now, ain’t no delta blues. Put on your dancing shoes now, it ain’t no delta blues. Put on your dancing shoes now. It ain’t no delta blues now. Put on your dancing shoes now, it ain’t no delta blues! Ain’t no delta blues now. Ain’t no delta blues now. Put on your dancing shoes now. It ain’t no delta blues now. Put on your dancing shoes now. It ain’t no delta blues now. Put on your dancing shoes now. It ain’t no delta blues!

Shake Me Off 02:15
Every time I meet you baby, I can’t lie. Everything about you, from your hand to your thigh; Makes me shout, makes me squeal, makes me doubt, makes me feel, Ooh baby, baby, baby, this ain’t real. Intoxicated lately from the weight of the lust, You’re gonna have to hold me back coz’ I can’t get enough. Come on round, tie me down, love the sound I’m making now, Can’t escape it even if I knew how! I said oww, yeah! Won’t you shake me off? Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Typically speaking it’s a matter of opinion, But of all the girls I’ve met, yeah you’re one in a million. Come on round now, come on, come on round now, Come on, come on, come on! Yeah! Fever gots me burnin’ and it’s taking me high, Like a seven-forty-seven coming out of the sky! I’ve been through the dark and now I see the light. Take it, shake it, shake it; let it fly! I said oww, yeah! Won’t you shake me off? Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Fever, fever! It’s burning up inside me! I can’t lie; yeah there ain’t no use in hiding. Fever, fever! So exciting! Oww yeah, won’t you come for a ride and… Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off, baby. Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off! Shake me off!

Comin' On 03:37
This is just to weigh my final call So keep your head above your lip To go from a notice to a stall Keep it like a hit or miss Final kick.... I'm comin’ on This time I'm comin’ on Gnaw at the thought of keepin’ cool Fascinate ourselves with home Not what I find from you It’s on the way, not where we go Well ya bite my skin Chase my tail Run a mile and all over again I’ve found, I got lost Well ya tie me down Slip inside, wrap those legs Not far to hide I know, I got lost I'm comin’ on This time I'm comin’ on I'm comin’ on, I'm comin’ on Way to fast, way to strong I know how to lose my low I'm comin’ on, I'm comin’ on Way to fast, way to strong I know how to lose my low

Homeslice 03:38
I'm remembering those better days, of how you let me down. Our minds cut through in different waves, but sometimes they can't be found. My friends have become mountains, as they listen for a sound… Act like a child but my age just lets me down. We often collide but you never come around. Will you come out of the shelf in your life? I couldn't find my real trip, my homeslice. Won’t you help me out? And now we’re growing older, as I sink into your skin. Looking back over my shoulder, I knew some day we'd win. You took the best of me, but I lost the rest of me. Act like a child but my age just lets me down. We often collide but you never come around. Will you come out of the shelf in your life? I couldn't find my real trip, my homeslice. Won’t you help me out? Act like a child but my age just lets me down. We often collide but you never come around. Will you come out of the shelf in your life? I couldn't find my real trip, my homeslice. Won’t you help me out? Won’t you help me out?

Stuck inside the day, lonely time Hands have fallen to each and every rhyme This can be the way, to hold your side To step upon ya But woman you got no fight Got no fight Cannot find a way, to hold our high Let you go today, tomorrow you’ll be alright Venting what you said would be you’re night I step upon ya But woman you got no right Got no right Empty night Hands so light Not thinking right We’ll get you high Empty night Hands so light Not thinking right Heavy on my mind Cannot find a way, to hold our high Let you go today Heavy on my mind Heavy on my mind

Lay Me Down 04:33
Lay me down. Lay me down. See, I’ve done some things I shouldn’t have. Found a rose hidden ‘neath that broken glass, out of view. Now I’m… Running round, as I’m fading south. Yet I’ll still help you out, when ye come undone. When you come undone! Walk away, day by day. Out from the East. Cross to the West, war and peace has been laid to rest. Still I’m… Running round, as I’m fading south. Yet I’ll still help you out, when ye come undone. I’m hanging in, but I’m hanging on, And I’ll still be here once you sing this song… Falling down so hard. Now I’m falling down so hard. Come take me up some other time, when all these stars are out of line and I’m wrong. Because now I’m… Running round, as I’m fading south. Yet I’ll still help you out, when you come undone. When you come undone! When you come undone! When you come undone! I’ll be hanging in, And I’ll be hanging on. Lay me down. Lay me down. Lay me down. Lay me down. Lay me down. Lay me down.

Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight of your hand? Can you show me the length? Can you show me the length? Can you show me the length of your stare? Can you show me all the things that make me want to steep so low? Can you show me the length? Can you show me the length? Can you show me the length of your stare? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight of your hand? When you curse me to stay I cross my hands and cut out all demands! Can you show me all the things that make me want to steep so low? Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight? Can you show me the weight of these hands?

Baby! Baby! Feed my mouth Woman’s chile, I can do without Baby! Baby! When in doubt Your half cusp dare Shows what love is all about Woman! Woman! Read the signs Shallow wilt to welt or A piece of mind Baby! Baby! You cannot hide That woman’s boy just ain’t my chile Babe you call home Babe I know you call home Baby! Baby! Hypnotize Loving smiles I can’t keep from hide Woman! Woman! Can’t deny Whispered love to take another fool By your side Baby! Baby! Hear my cry I choke on words Through your blindest eye Woman! Woman! You cannot hide That woman’s boy just ain’t my chile Well you can’t break down A lonely man There’s one out there That likes to take a hand For so much time, so much to see You can’t lose out Well, not before me… Baby! Baby! That woman’s chile Baby! Baby! That woman’s chile Can’t lose out, I can’t be your lie

Woman, look what you've done. Moments, like fire to sun. Your river has two sides, But your mirrors either obliged. The worried kind The worried kind Has fallen, behind Has fallen, behind Your mother fires like a gun; Remembers so much that's gone. Smokeless eyes have run. The wonders they'll take as they come. The worried kind The worried kind Has fallen, behind Has fallen, behind

Someday 01:31
I know of withered world I know of leafy path I know of blared eyed wisdom That contemplates the past Thoughts fly to ear At the end of the day Like wind to unwind I don't want nothing that Keeps my head down Keeps my head down Keeps my head down, no Maybe someday
