1. Plan B  

Worn out mini tire beat up van  
Faded phone number on the back of my hand  
Lookin for a girl that used to live up here  
I can still see her even though she disappeared  

Hangin by a string mumblin a prayer  
Mojo busted and I don’t have a spare  
Might be a fool but at least I’m free  
That’s why they love me  
I got no plan b  

Bus station blues in the back of my mind  
Ticket and a half pint will do me just fine  
Hey little girl we gonna ride all night  
If we keep goin west we never have to see the daylight  

Hangin by a string mumbling a prayer  
Mojo busted and I don’t have a spare  
Picture in a post office looks like me  
But they can’t stop me  
I got no plan b  

I ran out of ideas a long time ago  
Drivin on the shoulder with my muffler hangin low  
Head gasket leakin and all I see is steam  
I ain’t worried it’s all just a dream  

Hangin by a string mumbling a prayer  
Mojo busted and I don’t have a spare  
Everything’s roses as far as I can see  
That’s the way I like it  
I got no plan b  

I ain’t worried…I’m free…that’s why they love me…I ain’t worried…that’s the way I like it  

2. Pot Hole on Main Street  

Pot hole on main street  
Messin with my ride  
I can’t get no asphalt  
No matter how I try  

They sent people from the city  
With shovel and pick  
Everybody just talkin  
Don’t nothin get fixed  

And it’s a sad, sad business but I’m tellin you the truth  
Can’t nobody fix the hole in the world but you  

I had a uncle drink Nyquil  
In the mornin to chill  
If that won’t stop your shakin  
Said nothin else will  

Now he used to have a good job  
Down at the cement plant  
How you gonna feed my family  
With the government stamps  

And it’s a sad, sad business but I’m tellin you the truth  
Can’t nobody fix the hole in the world but you  

3. Trippy Little Thing  

You are my trippy little thing  
And I can’t get my mind around you  
You are a flower in the rain  
And I can’t believe I found you when I did  

You are my ride around the moon  
And I don’t care if I never come down  
You pull me out of my lonely room  
To somewhere that I never would have found  

All around the world  
The fire was coming down  
People said the end was nigh  
But I saw you standing  
Outside my office window  
Smile turned to the sky…trippin  

You are my trippy little thing  
And I get the message that you’re sending  
You know I never like to change  
But the axis of my world is bending  

You give me reason to live  
When I was on my way down  
That smile is all you gotta give  
It spins my world ‘round and ‘round  

Forget about the moonlight  
Forget about the rising sun  
I know they’ll never look the same  
I’m done with all my searching  
Sick of the tears I cry  
My smile turned to the sky…trippin  

4. Garbage Man  

Springtime springtime comin out of the box  
Zig zag with my baby through the parking lot  
Jump the church yard fence  
Down the alley with the old trash cans  
Me and my baby waitin on the garbage man  

Hey man hey man  
What you doin with all that junk  
You know I clean up everybody’s mess  
And take it to the county dump  

Hey man hey man  
What happens then  
You know I get up in the morning  
And do it all over again  

Wadin in the ditches down by the railroad tracks  
Make a plywood bridge over the swamp out back  
Tad poles growin legs  
Did you ever see such a thing  
Love is just mystery  
You know it make me want to sing come on  

Hey man hey man  
What you doin with all that junk  
You know I clean up everybody’s mess  
Take it to the county dump  
Hey boy hey boy  
You know you ought to stay in school  
You and that girl  
Y’all like to break the rules  

I went down to the river and got lost one time  
Wadin ‘round in circles but I didn’t mind  
I’m gone I’m gone but you know I’m gonna be alright  
I’m all prayed up and I’m satisfied  
Gonna see my baby tonight  

Hey man hey man  
What you doin with all that junk  
You know I clean up your mess  
And take it to the county dump  

Hey boy hey boy  
You ought to stay in school  
You know you and that girl  
Look like y’all was born to break the rules  

Hey man hey man  
What you doin with all that junk  
Can we ride with you down to the county dump  
Hey boy come on get on the back of that truck  
You and that girl y’all have some luck  
Come on  

5. I Just Don’t Have the Time  

I’d like to get to know you  
I’d like to be your friend  
But I just don’t have the time  
To hear about the latest whatever it is you’re doin  
And ride around the golf course with you drinkin wine  

You say maybe we could sit down and get down to business  
What do I think about the state of the world  
Spend some quality time one on one  
Shoot the shit while I go out of my mind  

I’d like to get to know you  
I bet you got your ducks in line  
I’d really like to be your friend  
But I just don’t have the time  

I’d really like to hear about your rehab  
How you crashed and burned  
But you got yourself together now  
Moved down to the beach and got a new lease  
Writin a book on spiritual somethin or other  
Livin is easy and prosperity’s sweet  
The more I listen the more I think I need some therapy  
All I want to do is get through my five stages of grief  
From being around you  

Chorus  

Did I hear about the Large Hadron Collider  
What if all the hadrons go wrong  
Did I read a book called The God Particle  
I wonder if we could ever fit that in a song  
That we could write together  
Somethin about broken hearts and stormy weather  
We’d be the next Simon and Garfunkle  
I’m runnin out of rhymes so I got to holler uncle  

Chorus  

6. Since You’re Gone   

The golden streets are glowing bright   
Bring it down   
Rain tried to keep me up all night   
Bring it down   
I go out ridin in the old street car   
With the window down and the rain blowin in   
That’s how I spend my time since you’re gone   

I see you sitting in the shade of a live oak   
Or ridin your bike through the Odd Fellow’s Graveyard   
I wander through the cobblestone streets all night   
Talkin to the cops and the vendors   
That’s how I spend my time since you’re gone   

There’s been no writing on the wall   
I can’t get through to you at all   
If you want to send a sign   
I swear I won’t miss it this time   

Maybe in some other life   
Everything will work out right   
You tell that to the broken ones   
Waiting at the stops where the street cars run   
That’s how I spend my time since you’re gone   

I see you standing by the wall of the Spanish Fort   
Or fading into the crowd at the old fairgrounds   
All I can do is hope you’re free   
And life’s the way you want it to be   
That’s how I spend my time since you’re gone   

7. Devil’s Haircut  (written by Beck Hansen)   

Something’s wrong cause my mind is fading   
And everywhere I look there’s a dead end waiting   
Temperature’s dropping at the rotten oasis   
Stealing kisses from the leprous faces   

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees   
Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline   
Pistols are pointing at a poor man’s pockets   
Smiling eyes with ’em out of the sockets   

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind   

Love machines on the sympathy crutches   
Discount orgies on the dropout buses   
Hitchin’ a ride with the bleedin’ noses   
Comin’ to town with the briefcase blues   

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind   

Something’s wrong cause my mind is fading   
Ghetto blastin’ disintegrating   
Rock ‘n’ roll, know what I’m saying?   
Everywhere I look there’s a devil in waiting   

Got a devil’s haircut in my mind   

8. Fine   

9. Mali Katra   

40 buzzards on the cell tower   
Lord I can’t believe my eyes   
Phone buzzing in the console   
Man I wouldn’t take that call   

Mali katra mali sutra mali katra   
No one’s seen the likes of you   
Always turning always changing   
Always hiding in the everlasting daylight   

Pray when that’s all that’s left to do   
Cry when you finally get the truth   
Run with the darkness coming after you   
Laugh when it finally catches up   

Mali katra mali sutra mali katra   
No one’s seen the likes of you   
Always running in the background   
Always hiding in the everlasting daylight   

Needles falling on my windshield   
Lightening snapping at my tires   
Buzzards singing from the cell tower   
Man I wouldn’t take that call   

Mali katra mali sutra mali katra   
No one’s seen the likes of you   
Always running in the background   
Always hiding in the everlasting daylight   

Mali katra mali sutra mali katra   
No one’s seen the likes of you   
Always turning always changing   
Always hiding in the everlasting daylight   

10. Do You Want to be Free   

The guilty place you must defend   
And hide it away at any cost   
Do you want to be free   
Do you want to be free   

All the people that you judged   
Built their houses in your head   
Do you want to be free   
Do you want to be free   

Precious treasure that you found   
In pieces on the floor now   
Do you want to be free   
Do you want to be free   

Bring all the damage with you   
And mix your tears in the rolling sea   
And all the hurts and bruises   
Why don’t you leave them here with me   

The silver rain has drained away   
And the dirty streets are shining now   
Do you want to be free   
Do you want to be free
