Holden Oversoul

The screen door to the farmer's porch. To the back porch, to the backlands. It's never left closed. . A new air pushed a full wind. That brought worlds on through.

Henry Parsons Died

It was six o' clock on Saturday. Henry Parsons died.. All of his good neighbors say. That man was never truly satisfied.. Preacherman never said no prayers.

Her Dance Needs No Body

Her dance needs nobody, no body at all. . She's both darkness and light. Just a shadow on the wall. . Wink of a black cat eye. At the end of an unlit hall.

Happy

Hatfield

Wide awake in San Diego. Smallest root shrinking dry. The fish are swimming closer inside Lake Morena. Still get no rain from the sky. Men were firing cannons.

Greta

There's a pack of rabid dogs. Pawing at my front door. There's a pack of rabid dogs. Pawing at my front door. . There's a swarm of yellowjackets. Pounding against my window pane.

Goodpeople

We are the good people your friends told you all about. Sure it is, to watch it is, the night before the rising sun. Barefoot, ships in the sea, I'll give them drinking on the shore.

Gradle

I hold the flower there. Doesn't know she's beautiful. She wakes every morning seeing. All the other things are beautiful. Well she's free. Companion to the wind.

Gimme

Gimme a hand there, Michael.. I'll give you a hand then, too.. Gimme a hand there, Michael.. I'd give you my heart if I could.. . Throw myself at the ground..

Give

Rain kept pourin' down. We had places to be. No funnin' around. Curiosities. There were plenty for our heads. You were somethin' to see. Do you remember what he said.

Glory

Tonight every word will be spoken easy. All our stories lead on to fortune and fame. Rack 'em up and shoot. But the cue ball is missing. By tomorrow though, we'll all play different games.

Free Somehow

Want to be free right now. Voices inside my head. Know I'll be free somehow. The quietest voices said. . Staying awake a while. Old movies in black and bliss.

From The Cradle

Black hole, paradise found. Somthing so dark and something so bright. Blue skies over our head. Why the hell is everything turning out gray?. . All things are not what they seem.

Flat Foot Flewzy

Transcribed from NRBQ: "Stay With We: The Best Of" (1993). . Whooooooooo-weee. . I'm so dog gone dirty. 'Cause [I'm] a Flat Foot Flewzy. And I walk like a tweety bird.

Flicker

Rise rise, fly above your head. Cups are running over, voices out of breath. Time time time, time has come again. Part another red-eye sea. Talking it to death.

Fishing

Inspirtation,. Oh, she barely waits a moment. Elevator doors open. Hear her footsteps touch the stairs. . Words walk by. Describing definition. Stop and talk about it.

Fishwater

Four train days. Get me back to New Orleans. Drink more fish water there. Than any whale's mama ever seen. Alright tonight. I've been fueling my dreams eatin' greens and beans.

Expiration Day

I'm a machinist at the Springfield Armory. Just slightly ahead of my time. But I don't make much money. So I sell eggs and chickens on the side. . I'm good at what I do.

Drums

Sittin' around, waiting for an airplane. Don't know how to fly, but that's okay. Got me a pilot, she's going my way. If she's got wings, if she's got wings.

Dyin' Man

So long, baby since you've been gone. I'm a dyin' man, I'm a dyin' man. . Don't ever tell a dyin' man. You never meant to shoot him down. Yeah, don't do no good to tell a dyin' man.
