I could tell where the poison tree grows
Then you wouldn’t have to worry for nothing
But that’s no good,
that’s no good
for me
I could tell where the poison tree grows
Then you wouldn’t have to worry for nothing
But that’s no good,
that’s no good
for me
Split conscience you’ve got some nerve
Trying to be heard
Over everyone
Split conscience you’ve got some nerve
Trying to be heard
Over everyone
Down in Charleston, since some time ago
A tree called the angel oak grows,
A greater reach then many most know,
Can’t climb it, or stand it beside it
Don’t hope that she’ll ever confide in you,
How the poison tree grows
Split conscience you’ve got some nerve
Trying to be heard
Over everyone
Split conscience you’ve got some nerve
Trying to be heard
Over everyone
I could tell where the poison tree grows
Then you wouldn’t have to worry for nothing
But that’s no good,
that’s no good
for me
Track Name: Grandma Loves You
These things I’ve seen she said,
Turn the stove down to two
I’ll tell you a story,
While the stew you help me to cook,
Years after grandpa died
Your father slipped away
Your mother left with a broken heart
I imagine its still that way
Sittin in that railway car
You were seven at the time
A choice you had to come with me
Or to stay with your uncle’s wife
I’d hear no cries from you
About where we were going,
The circus I had once called home
And now its time to show you,
High flying in the dredges
On the trapeze
High flying in the dredges
Your Grandma loves you boy
Common ground is hard to find
And under tent poles we were shown it
With the midgets and lions breath
It was them that kept us going
Rings of fire, the sideshow
An elephant dressed in plain cloths
These are the days I still hold
To my chest and murmur don’t you go,
High flying in the dredges
On the trapeze with the bearded women
High flying in the dredges
Your Grandma loves you boy
Remember their names
Remember their names
High flying in the dredges
On the trapeze with the bearded women
High flying in the dredges
Your Grandma loves you boy
High flying in the dredges
On the trapeze with the bearded women
High flying in the dredges
Your Grandma loves you boy
Track Name: Inclement Weather
She heard voices we both saw faces
Large objects into tiny little spaces
With clock hands for a brain
Ten thousand, we counted higher
Large number for inter stellar travel
But the time stayed the same
Call this the inclement weather game
Take you shelter from the downtown traveling hurricane
Call this the inclement weather game
Mother nature's just here to entertain
There go the lights or were they ever on
Can't see much but i think i see our farm
Flying high above our heads
Stuck in the storm shelter has it been this long
Afraid to look and see what's gone
Or maybe what still stands
Call this the inclement weather game
Take you shelter from the downtown traveling hurricane
Call this the inclement weather game
mother nature's just here to entertain
Call this the inclement weather game
Take you shelter from the downtown traveling hurricane
Call this the inclement weather game
mother nature's just here to entertain
Call this the inclement weather game
Take you shelter from the downtown traveling hurricane
Call this the inclement weather game
mother nature's just here to entertain
Track Name: Three Sirens
I came upon a beach
With three sirens from the sea
They took my voice and they took these words from me
They then proceed to sing to me
And cut my hands and bind my feet
The song just took it all from me
I listened so closely that I could see them take from me
My choice and my will as they swam out to see
The night has left but its left me
And the stars that I clung to are still free
There’s a choice without a man
And there’s a voice that’s left his hands
Maybe its time to leave that beach
Reminds me why I’m still here
No one told me that I'd follow you
Until I drowned out at see
No one told me no one told me so
No one told me that I'd follow you
Until I drowned out at see
No one told me no one told me so
Cut off my fingers
They weren’t much but a chore
And I saw my eyes as they dropped unto the floor
I’ve got a wheelchair and I’ve got a place to roll
Lost all accessories and now I’m through the door
No one told me that I'd follow you
Until I drowned out at sea
No one told me that I'd follow you
Until I drowned out at sea
No one told me that I'd follow you
Until I drowned out at sea
No one told me no one told me so
Track Name: Picket Fence
Well I took all your dresses all out the closet yesterday
All except the one you wore as you ran away
Dressed in white with a chain of bright red blood you drew from me
Yes your train had my blood and my DNA
Do not attempt to give it back its my simple gift to you
Though you gave me nothing I know you didn’t think it through
Could of left me something like the chain of events
Story of how you left me cold in my black tuxedo pants
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
Notes from all my relatives have not helped my cause
Call your ex fiancés have further ruined yours
I don’t see a recovery and I do not see a chance
So I’ll stay at home with my bottle of gin and my black tuxedo pants
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
Well breeze at night gives dreams the right to bring visions in my head
Thoughts of you and who you might be laying beside in bed
I hope he ain’t paying for a preacher or a band
To watch him cry away the day in his black tuxedo pants
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
Nice white house with a picket fence
Couldn’t she have waited till we moved in
