Alone Star

Standing on the curb
Nothing inside works
Wash away my pride
Come and take it first
I'm alone again
Bridge is jammed up now
I'll get out somehow
The sun will break us down
Some things won't dry out
We're alone again

Never Let Me
03:14

It's in my nature, I am a younger brother
One fall and then another
Oh I didn't know this place gets so cold
It's in my nature, I am a simple creature
Thirty acres, then the debt collectors
I don't need it, those days are documented
Sometimes I feel I'm nothing but a public record
Oh I didn't know this place gets so cold
And now I'm not too young to trust every impulse of my soul
But they never let me grow old
They never let me
How was I ever raised?
I only ever wanted to be on display
Not enough

Horses of Houston
02:44
|

The horses of Houston trot sideways past
The permanent itch of the fibreglass
The concrete bayou and the chlorox trash
Hear them echo off the pickups in the cul de sac
Running wild through the ten year plan
This place has no name on the map
Said they sent a letter but it never came
Feel this way every time it rains.
This street is cursed, moving out someday
The horses of Houston will have their say.
Running wild through the hundred year plain
On the map this place has no name.
Doll house suspended in the canopy
Snakes come through where it used to be
Overpass, nightmare, memory
Bird's nest in the AC vent
Snake pit in the garden bed
Gators chewing through the flat screen set
They'll never catch these horses
Too swift to forget
This place has no name on the map

Chicago

Take me to your city
I want to see the great lake open
Take me to your city
Show me the modern office buildings
That's the chicago school now
Take me to your city
I need to get right out of here
I'm a motivated visitor
Show me some night when the sky is clear
That's the Chicago school now
Booster
Designing the horizon
It'll never be the same
Booster
Designing the horizon
The jewel of the plains
The jewel of the plains

Losing Things
03:59
|

Sometimes a human connection gets in the way
Of rules and directions and what you have to say
Being with you is heaven but this place is hell
I know they're connected, you know me too well
I'm always losing things
Been on my mind
But I'm only losing things
You're always easy to find
Sometimes a human connection is all you can send
The city is collapsing, if it breaks then you bend
I don't know if this all happens by divine intent
At least we're out here laughing bout the final end
I'm always losing things
Left a lot of shit behind
But I'm only losing things
You're always easy to find

Music Listens Back
03:14
|

First it's a joke, then it's a tragedy,
Fact and fiction
Crying all alone, then you win the lottery,
Fact and fiction.
It can happen for you
You stick with it
It can happen to you
Don't get suspicious
But music listens back
I left my heart in Texas
I wish it was fiction
I lost my soul on Craigslist
I'll get it back with interest
Happens to you
You miss it
It happens to you
That's when music listens
Music listens back
The moon is wild, the derby's on
We'll look for fictions in the dawn
And in the Topo Chico mist
Claim another sponsorship
It can happen for you
Like a kiss
Like fact or fiction
Like music listening in
That's when music listens back
