I built a workshop in the backyard by the shed
Where I study shortcomings inside of your head
All the training I got has no beginning or end
What do docs really know? Now baby, come be my friend
'Cause I’m not waiting anymore
I know people try to do the best that they can
But there’s just so much that I still don’t understand
I swear there’s no time for trouble, beginning or end
What do two dogs know? Now baby, come be my friend
‘Cause I’m not waiting anymore
I’m not waiting anymore
I try to match the thoughts in my head
I won’t tell the neighbors what you said
Next time I will write it in red

Wake up Coffeecup Suzie
The sky is falling down
And though it’s all been broken
We’ll take that bell right out of town
There’s no need for your pocketbook, we’ll get through somehow
Climb that stalk with me, Suzie
It ends above the clouds
There’s giants out there somewhere
And a goose with golden down
We will fill up our pockets, yeah, we will break it down
There’s no rain here
But I can hear far off thunder
Sip this cup with me, Suzie
And death will do us down
From both our feuding families
We’ll go off without a sound
We will wake up in secret, forsake and flee this town
There’s no rain here
But I can hear far off thunder

North Shore Sinner Pt. I

The time’s come for the North Shore Sinner
You’ll recognize him by his love of the weather
Will he make it back alive?
Some people move out to the west coast
Stay awake while others lie in bed
I hear out there they grow the best dope
But I had to quit, ‘cause that shit went to my head
Will he make it back alive?
Now he is drowning, and his heart is pounding, yeah
Tell me mama, will he make it out alive?

Walking through the shadows of my life
Be sure to stand tall
Once we thought that this was paradise
But I don’t see you at all
My grandmother said in her dying bed
Be sure to make it worth it
It took me way too long to know what she said
‘Cause I resisted
And I don’t know why, then she said…
Lay it down and take that everest
When the morning comes I’ll do the rest
Lay it down and take that everest
The weight of this world rests in the west
I laid a canvas at your feet for you to use
But we both destroyed it
I tried to paint a picture with your words
But you just ignored it
You know how it works
You know how it hurts
Standing in the same dirt
Lay it down and take that everest
When the morning comes I’ll do the rest
Lay it down and take that everest
The weight of this world rests in the west
Someone’s knocking at your door
Don’t answer it, I know what it’s for
You see the wind’s about to change for you man
Put a message inside your hand
An expression you understand before you go
Lay it down and take that everest
When the morning comes I’ll do the rest
Lay it down and take that everest
The weight of this world rests in the west

You made it through
Discount guitars, something we all go through
Now tip your hat down for that other blues
Don’t get scared
By homecoming, we’ve all been there
Now rest your weary head on my back stairs
You came back, but your mind’s still away
Finding yourself really makes the man pay
I can’t teach you, but I know what you do to yourself
I know what you pay for
I know what you’re doing when you’re lying in bed
I know what you pay for
I know what you’re doing when you’re lying
What you’re doing when you’re lying in bed
You came back, but your mind’s still away
Finding yourself really makes a man pay
I will teach you, but I know what you do to yourself
I know what you pay for
I know what you’re doing when you’re lying in bed
I know what you pay for
I know what you’re doing when you’re lying
What you’re doing when you’re lying, yeah

I’m watching the sunrise
Waiting for the western breeze
I got this ring in my pocket
The sunlight puts my mind at ease
But she’s keeping me waiting
She always makes me wait so long
But you never really do know
The tide is coming in as we play our last song
On the run, shadow’s always chasing the sun
On the run, I’m thinking that she is the one
Have another cup of coffee
I’ll tell you the story of the witches on Brocken
There’s no need to worry
I’ll only tell the people who are sitting on the edge of the park
They only come out late
I come out late just to see the stars
Been sleeping all day
And trying to find something that’s like ours
On the run, shadow’s always chasing the sun
On the run, I’m thinking that she is the one
On the run, shadow’s always chasing the sun
Shadow’s always chasing the sun

I've been waiting for it for so long
God, it seems like a thousand years
It sounds like any other old song
'Cause it might fit into your ears
Good things come and good things go
The sunshine here's soon followed by snow
If you wait too long
You might miss it all
It took too long to make the bed
'Wanna be momma tries to drill it into your head
But what she don't know is she's daddy's little pawn
And it don't matter if her hair is long
Feeling lonely over here
The moon won't rise 'cause the sun won't disappear
So I hold my breath till dark
And sing you another familiar part
Frankenstein has fallen to his knees
Don't let another man take what just ain't his
Everyone knows his brain is all he has
Someone come and save him before the townspeople hurt him bad
Rain man's crushing my brain stem
Crushing me sane, man, how about you?

Another new beginning, what could it bring?
It best not be that same old thing
'Cause that time has passed
He's back at her shack
With an empty head and a growing lack of how to act
Now she says'
Come out of hiding, my love
I only want the truth in your song
If you're flying, my love
You should tell us before too long
Our dance is a chance at romance
I won't believe it if you're gone
Many time I've held you back from that open track
Baby I apologize for that
That's not me
It's hard to say that I dig your sway in an addicted way
'Cause you and I are so the same
Listen now'
Come out of hiding, my love
I only want the truth in your song
If you're flying, my love
You should tell us before too long
Our dance is a chance at romance
I won't believe it if you're gone
Dropped head in an empty bed
And when he sings this song something finally fills his head
I search for my girl back home
I search for my girl back home
I search for my girl back home
I search for my girl back home

Golden clouds are in my head
Everything is telling me we should be wed
And all along, you were humming my song
Knowing that I'd be back after trying some wrong
Innocence has fallen away
In its place has started a brand new set of days
Wave goodbye for the last time
To everything in our past that has seemed right
Because it's just starting now
It's just starting now
The last time around
Lord, forgive me for the sinner saved
Everything I've seen is trying to put me in an early grave
I will keep watch for the coming year
Pick up the slack for the pack, don't keep us on your back
Because it's just starting now
It's just starting now
The last time around
They won't reach us here
Too preoccupied with fogging up the rear view mirror
Anything goes, they say
Expectations have been way too low, I say, goodnight
Because it's just starting now
It's just starting now
The last time around
