Heavy Misfortune

Paddling up stream
taking in water
press against
the shore
never been here before
the trees all bend and sway
while the birds all scatter
its getting hotter
than ever before

You can't scratch the itch
you'll make the floodgates break
you can't push the dam
with just a little taste
make me forget
don't make me wait
I've been biding my time
Now let the water take

I can feel the heat
trail my hands across
the wall
getting darker in this place
getting daker all around
oh my eyes, my eyes
they deceive me, now
oh my lips, my lips
they won't scream aloud

The waters coming in
its coming in  now
licking cross my toes
curling all around
I'll be drowning in the
waves
its catching up too fast
here it is at last
head under water

Mauraders on the town

Robbery runs thick through this town
gun slingin and violent
throw downs
come in like a thief in the dark
leave me stranded
with a broken heart
lone
rider on the open road
stretching for miles
till heaven knows
take take take
take as much as you can
won't be coming this way
again
golden sands tickle at your face
memorize the sun
remember this place
wind at your back you fly
got somewhere to be
tonight
take take take
take as much as you can
won't ever be coming
this way again
ride the storms
ride the wind
ride like the vultures
when they spin and spin
take take take
take as much as you can
won't be coming back
this way again
