Settle Down 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Have you ever looked in the mirror And thought, that guy ain’t me? You shave your face and let that thought be Thinking, I don’t wanna think like that Thoughts like those will break up your track Well, thoughts like those, they need to be thunk Why settle for tipsy when you could get drunk? Why settle for second when you could be first? Lift up your glass, let’s quench that thirst! Come on! ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna say No I won’t settle down, no I won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay No we won’t settle down, no we won’t settle down Tonight is the night and we’re stealin’ away No she won’t settle down, no she won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay So we’ll kick out the door and we’ll party some more! Have you ever found the cup that never goes empty? Well, tell me where ‘cause it’s oh so tempting! In this day and age it’s hard to get by But for a couple of hours, baby, you and me are gonna fly Gimme kid soda, gimme some wine Gimme someone who knows how to have a hell of a time! We’ll be lucky if we get out alive You better not be askin’ me for a ride ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna say No I won’t settle down, no I won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay No we won’t settle down, no we won’t settle down Tonight is the night and we’re stealin’ away No she won’t settle down, no she won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay So we’ll kick out the door and we’ll party some more! It’s getting late, I can’t see straight I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my date Tonight the wine was flowing like water Tonight you’re gonna be nobody’s daughter! ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna say No I won’t settle down, no I won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay No we won’t settle down, no we won’t settle down Tonight is the night and we’re stealin’ away No she won’t settle down, no she won’t settle down ‘Cause tonight everyone’s gonna stay So we’ll kick out the door and we’ll party some more!

The Debt Collector 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Well, you thought I had forgotten, or left it all behind me Tucked away in a shallow grave where the yellow woods once lay But the debt collector’s calling, he’s coming to remind me To follow on the trail that you leave Every time you wake up the screech owl makes you shiver You’re murmuring groans for your precious stones but you can’t find them now Can’t decide if you’re alive or dead, so you’re sailing up the river To a place you just can’t retrieve The little things’ll getcha A little only needs a little bit more The little things’ll getcha They’ll getcha now just like before The little things’ll getcha Every time you turn around You’ve been safe and sound in your burial ground Hiding your eyes from the hole in the ground A little always needs a little bit more But the debt collector’s knockin’ on your door At world’s end so try not offend your maker Each mistake is another stake in your coffin of deceit So listen for the church bells and dance with the satyr There’s no one left for you to bereave The little things’ll getcha A little only needs a little bit more The little things’ll getcha They’ll getcha now just like before The little things’ll getcha Every time you turn around You’ve been safe and sound in your burial ground Hiding your eyes from the hole in the ground A little always needs a little bit more But the debt collector’s knockin’ on your door

Eric's Song 03:45
lyrics
buy track
He falls to the bed with a world-weary sigh His old teenage bones creaking he shuts his eyes He sees her he remembers his first time around This path too much beaten now into the ground It's the end of an era He's stone blind from the light That these new revelations Have turned up too bright He's fresh but he's too old For this simple life He breaks down It's been such a long time, he misses her so She's his best friend but it seems like so long ago And what she said that day bounces round in his mind She said to him, 'boy, this is what you'll find It's the end of an era You're stone blind from the light That your new revelations Have turned up too bright You're fresh but you're too old For this simple life' He breaks down He breaks down, he's a small fish in a big pond And it's high time he learned how to get along He breaks down

Right at Home 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I’m right at home inside my mind Just miles of pavement ahead and behind But where the Crosstown meets 169 I’m right at home The trees were green, the sky was red I thought for sure I’d soon be dead But where the godforsaken tread I’m right at home I’m just waiting for this world to end You say it won’t, but I won’t pretend When the storms set in I’ll have a roof over my head I’m right at home here in this place The musky air, the tattered lace And though I won’t remember her face I’m right at home The lights are gold and shining bright Her love is anyone’s tonight But as I watch him hold her tight I’m right at home Don’t bother telling me I don’t belong If I stop moving then it won’t be long ‘Til the storms set in and I got no roof over my head Freeway lights and rest-stop signs passing by Feel like I’m the only soul left out here alive I feel your pull like a wave to the moon I see you smiling from the window of your room And finally here on this rainy afternoon I’m right at home I’m right at home here in your arms It’s been too long and been too far But in the backseat of your car I’m right at home
