“Raft to freedom”

written by Dan Reeder

There's a river that flows

through the middle of town

but they won't let you swim in it

And you can't go fishing

or paddle a canoe

there's nothing they'll let you

do in it

Now how am I ever

to realize my dream

of building a raft

and floating downstream?

How am I ever

to realize my dream

of floating downstream

to freedom?

“a sandy beach”

written by Dan Reeder

Jacoby went to China Won the Chinese lottery

Came home with a bunch of money Bought himself a plasma TV

When he got bored with it

He dumped it into the sea

They put him in jail

No trial No bail

Said it was a matter of national security

It's just a beach

A sandy beach

It’s just a beach

A sandy beach

When he got out, he went to Norway

But he had no place to stay

So he stole a tent and pitched it

At the skinny end Of a skinny bay

The police came unexpectedly

On a warm and sunny day

They took him to jail No trial

No bail

But this timе they threw the kеy away

It's just a beach

A sandy beach

It's just a beach

A sandy beach

“Four in the morning”

written by Dan Reeder

I get up

at four in the morning

stand by the window

and wait for the sun to rise

I get up

at four in the morning

stand by the window

and wait for the sun to rise

The cat jumps up

on the table beside me

and she doesn't say a word

The cat jumps up

on the table beside me

and she doesn't say a word

Later I make myself

a cup of coffee

and when I look

the cat is gone

Later I make myself

a cup of coffee

and when I look

the cat is gone

"stay down, man”

written by Dan Reeder

Nightclub parking lot, South of LA

The end of a long night at the end of a long day

Warm wind blows and the palm trees sway

And you had that shitty look on your face all day

I should’ve known the night would’ve ended this way

Stay down man, if you get up again he’ll probably kill ya

Stay where you are, I’ll go get the car and we can go

But I swear to god I’ll leave you here to die

If you say one more word to that guy

Nightclub parking lot, South of LA

The end of a long night at the end of a long day

Warm wind blows and the palm trees sway

Somebody called it in the cops are on their way

I should’ve known the night would’ve ended this way

Stay down man, if you get up again he’ll probably kill ya

Stay where you are, I’ll go get the car and we can go

But I swear to god I’ll leave you here to die

If you say one more word to that guy

“love and hate”

written by Dan Reeder

Love and hate go together like hurry up and wait

Like too little too late, before you jump you always hesitate

Just feels sorta natural

Love and pain go together like thunder and rain

Like bitch and complain, like choo choo and train

Contempt and love go together like boxing and glove

Like push comes to shove like amazing and grace

Man, you should’ve seen her face

When she thought I misplaced

The insurance papers

“Jailtime”

written by Dan Reeder

Well I know that you know

if I catch you I'll kick your ass

Last time I took it easy on you

but this time would be your last.

Jailtime jailtime

I'd be looking at jailtime

Jailtime jailtime

I'd be looking at jailtime

Instrumental

I know you fear me

and you have good reason to.

All those broken bones

the misery that you've been through.

Jailtime jailtime

I'd be looking at jailtime

Jailtime jailtime

I'd be looking at jailtime.

“young at heart”

written by Dan Reeder

It's a special kind of solitude when you're up in a tree

There's no such thing as angels, but there might as well be

Sex is complicated, and so is democracy

They've been telling me I'm free all my life, but it don't feel that way to me

And recently it occurred to me

that I may no longer be

young at heart

Well I hate disruption

and I fear change

and I no longer notice

when it finally starts to rain

And recently it occurred to me

that I may no longer be

young at heart

Recently it occurred to me

that I may no longer be

young at heart

Born a worm

Spins a cocoon

Goes to sleep

Wakes up a butterfly

Oh what the fuck is that about?

“nobody wants to be you”

written by Dan Reeder

You’re gonna have to tell her where the money went

Why you can’t pay the rent, why you have to move

You’re gonna have to tell her what happened to the car

And who those guys are in the living room

Oh whoa whoa nobody wants to be you

And who’s that girl who’s been hanging around?

The one in the white tube top and the tattoos

And why’s she showing everybody her ultrasound?

And what does that have to do with you?

Oh whoa whoa nobody wants to be you

Did you really think that you could just move away?

How dumb are you anyhow?

You know those guys have their guys everywhere

You know they’re probably watching us right now

You’re gonna have to tell her where the money went

Why you can’t pay the rent, why you have to move

You’re gonna have to tell her what happened to the car

And who those guys are in the living room

Oh whoa whoa nobody wants to be

Nobody wants to be

Nobody wants to be you

“woman in a pool”

written by Dan Reeder

Woman in a pool the color

of her legs all magnified

against the blue and the

sun beats down on the wet

concrete smells like

chlorine smells like

barbecue what would I

give to be young again

When there was no such thing as

a waste of time pick the wet

grass off of your bare feet and

when you're done lean up against

a tree and watch the cars go up

and down the street what would I

give to be young again

And when I die well you can bury

me in the playground of Wilson

school where I fell in love

for the very first time

I was six years old and already a goddamned fool

Woman in a pool

the color of her legs all magnified

against the blue and the

sun beats down on the wet

concrete smells like

chlorine smells like

barbecue what would I

give to be young again

Well her face was as pretty as a face could be

I couldn’t help but stare

And as she turned to cross her legs

I saw her underwear

“i don’t always miss you”

written by Dan Reeder

I don't always miss you when you're gone

and I don't think about you all the time

nobody to tell me what to do

and usually that nobody is you

I don't always miss you when you're gone

And I don't think about the time we spent

the things we did or the places that we went

and I don't sit 'round with a distant look

scribbling your name in little hearts in my notebook

I don't always miss you when you're gone

I know what love looks like from TV

from the books I've read and the movies that I've seen

and isn't it just everybody's dream

to be in love and never turn eighteen

I don't always miss you when you're gone

“porn song”

written by Dan Reeder

Did she actually cum from a dick in her mouth?

Well, I don’t believe it

I suspect she’s pretending just to give this the ending

We all want to see

Cause if she’s done then so are we

And we can roll over and go back to sleep

Did she actually cum from a dick in her mouth?

Well, I don’t believe it

“alcohol”

written by Dan Reeder

Do you ever listen to yourself?

sometimes you make no sense at all

and your friends begin to wonder

if it's you or the alcohol alcohol

Imagine how it looks to us when you lean up

against the wall and your eyes try to see but they

can't seem to cut through the alcohol alcohol

It's a lesson to us all if a

princess like you can fall

dot dot dot

Do you ever listen to yourself? sometimes you make no sense at all and you were the girl with everything the one who had it all alcohol

It's a lesson to us all if a princess like you can fall

“hillbilly song”

written by Dan Reeder

We all went to church but daddy stayed

home to make soap and dress out the

possum that he found in the road the

front was ran over and ruined but the back legs and the loins was ok

Now possum's strong tastin'

and greasy but it's better than

nuthin' and when I say nuthin' what I mean is nuthin' on the

table which is something that a

city boy like you has never

seen

“a place on the river”

written by Dan Reeder

There's a place on the river where it forms pools and turns

Where ferns shade the moss and pines shade the ferns

And you can tell by the smell of the cool damp air

That you don't really have any business there

You can see it from your window as the train goes by

Back in the shadows under the midday sky

And if the wind don't blow and the river's not too high

The chances are good you'll see a dragonfly

Ba da dum de dum dum

There's a place on the river whеre it forms pools and turns

Where fеrns shade the moss and pines shade the ferns

And you can tell by the smell of the cool damp air

That you don't really have any business there

Ba da dum de dum dum
