Lyrics: Cryptobiotic Dirt
Cryptobiotic dirt cryptobiotic dirt
She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt
She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt
Step on some dirt she’ll hit you where it hurts
She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt
Me and Jackie were walking down there
Jackie heard a crunching sound she grabbed him by the hair
She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt
Step on some dirt she’ll eat you for dessert
She’s the protector of the Cryptobiotic dirt
I’m wild about her she’s wild about the dirt
She don’t like walking a Cryptobiotic dirt
She don’t like walking on Cryptobiotic dirt
She’ll hate you if you hurt the Cryptobiotic dirt
She’s the protector for Cryptobiotic dirt
Now she’s so pretty that it’s not funny
She could pass as a playboy bunny
But she is the protector of the crypto biotic dirt
Step on some dirt she’ll hit you where it hurts
She’s the protector of the Cryptobiotic dirt
It takes two hundred years to grow upon the earth
She don’t like walking on cryptobiotic dirt

Confidence
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day
I need kisses in the evening make me feel ok
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
It's a good thing to fuss about
You know it makes me scream and shout
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
Sometimes I wake up and I feel all alone
I feel like a stranger in my own home
Don’t tell me I'm just a brat
When I tell you I feel like that
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
It's the only thing I know
that makes my heart tremble so
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
Show me what you can do
I promise that I'll show you too
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
Sometimes I wake up and I feel like a freak
I feel disconnected on a losing streak
Don't tell me I'm just a brat
When I tell you I feel like that
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I don't need luxury I need reassurance we're on the same journey
Baby I need a little confidence in our love
baby I need a little confidence in our love
I need a stroke in the morning I need a squeeze for the day
I need skin in the evening make me feel ok
Baby I need a little confidence in our love.

Apple shine apple shine,
Shine little apple and say you're mine
Say you're mine till the end of time
Shine little apple, apple shine, apples shine
I'll shine you up on my chest
Heirloom apples taste the best
Your eyes are bright as apple skin
One more bite and it'll do me in.
Apple shine.
We come down from the hill
Down to the valley where it's warm and still
Where the fruit hangs heavy on the trees
And people take water whenever they please,
Whenever they please
Climb up a ladder and eat a pear
Eat a pear way up there
She says she’s plain, I know she’s fair
I’m lost in her branches, I’m lost in her hair
Appleshine
Climb up a ladder and eat a pear
And after that we’ll sit in a chair
Sit in a chair in the river bend
Pressing apple juice until the end
Apple shine.
We come down from the hill
Down to the valley where it's warm and still
Where the fruit hangs heavy on the trees
And people take water whenever they please,
Whenever they please
The dream is ripe and laying on the ground
Let’s gorge ourselves on what we found
Set the table with the finest threads
And let that juice go to your head
Apple shine. That’s what we’ll call it.
God is sweet and juice is good
And every bee is understood
Dance with me on the window sill
Cap it with wax before the chill
Apple shine.
Apple shine apple shine,
Shine little apple and say you're mine
Say you're mine till the end of time
Shine little apple, apple shine

Porcupine

Porcupine in the road
Not all dead yet, well that blows
Head laying on the double yellow back broken like a cello
Poor poor porcupine I saw it moving it's still alive
I went back to show it some mercy finish it off
Its soul it was set free
Spines stuck in the tires
Why are you calling me a liar?
Poor poor porcupine makes me almost feel like crying
I'd rather die on the highway then in a zoo in my own manure
What strange music in you purrs?
Only the Pines know for sure
Poor poor porcupine he's still moving he still alive
The mountain winds don't seem to care
As they blow through its guard hairs
The last sun rays form a shroud
Knock the pink stuffing from the clouds
Poor poor porcupine he's not moving he's not alive.

Figure Eights

Figure Eights
When the great fish came all the people gathered round
The peaceful lagoon by the light of the moon
Some rowed together some sailed from town
They all gasped in horror at the monster Billy found
Slapping its tail on the water, like a saber
Churning bright lanterns in strange figure eights
In the shadows of the cedars
It startled the neighbors,
Where the ancient mariner’s gathered to debate
Some blamed the worms eating at its brain
Some said it washed up in a mighty hurricane
Some swore it was a devil an omen and a curse
Some swore it was female, preparing to give birth
A great white fish, a great white whale
With gills as big as a jail,
With a mouth full of teeth
It rose from the deep
The monster that swam in figure eights .
Early that same morning children dove from the bridge
To ride the knotty rope, in the currents by the ledge
Where no fear had ever entered their heads
This foe from the deep had invaded
Some paid a great fee, the monster to see
And waited for the tide to rise and set it free
They all stood in wonder on the edge of the lagoon
Where the only light was the light of the moon
A great white fish, a great white whale with gills as big as a jail
With a mouth full of teeth, it rose from the deep,
The monster, that swim in figure eights
The men rowed in dory’s two oarsman a piece
Into the realm of the great figure eight
They measured the monster at 17 feet
Then they slaughtered the beast in the shallows
Its liquid steel body did not turn to fight them
Nor did it bite them with infinite teeth
It turned to make one more arc in the shadows
And its blood filled the waves on the beach
Come see the great white fish
The great white whale
With gills as big as a jail!
With a mouth full of teeth
It rose from the deep
The monster that swam in figure eights.

Late at night when I take my rest
Oh, I hold your pictures to my chest

Now you know I'd do
Anything in the world for you
To have lovin' from my baby's eyes

Old jack rabbit wise and free flat as a pancake by the library
I know how the ravens stay plump and alive
All you can eat Pitbulls on 285
Everybody's driving like shit
Especially New Mexicans
Everybody's driving like shit
Driving to hell as fast as they can
He was in a big rush coming over the pass
Suddenly there was an elk sitting in his lap
He hit the thing so hard
Its contents shot across the road
Landed in the thicket steaming in the cold
Everybody's driving like shit
Blind corners and bad attitudes
Everybody's driving like shit sooner or later we all gonna lose
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like,
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like shite, like shite
I was talking to my cousins they said they wouldn't vote
I said, "That's a copout and this is not a joke."
If you really want to see this shit hit the fan
Vote for Bernie he's your man
Everybody's thinking like shit
And this nation has taken a dump
Everybody's driving like shit
That's how we wound up as President Trump
I'm flying down the highway to tuck you in for the night
Surfing the stations of the Christian right
Why can't we stand up and think for ourselves
Why are we driving on a highway to Hell?
Everybody's driving like shit and this world keeps getting hotter
Everybody's driving like shit
One thing for certain we're not getting smarter
Most of us are trying to make a little cash
Shave off a little time we drive a little fast
History will know us as the selfish ones
Mowing down the wild things with a hit and run
Everybody's driving like shit I feel like a rock in a river of fools
Everybody's driving like shit
Don't flip them off they might shoot you
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like
Everybody everybody everybody's driving like
Reckless zombies looking for food!
Everybody's driving like shit!
