lyrics

You got to let it die,
You got to show it love,
You got to give it time
before you give it up.

You got to bury the hatchet,
It's made of gold,
Look out, I'm coming fast,
Oh God, you're looking old.

You got to plant the seed,
You got to watch it grow,
You got to make them think
before you can let them know.
Let 'em know now.

You're not an honest man,
You're not a millionaire,
You're about to meet your maker,
Boy, you better say your prayers.

You got to empty your pockets
of all your gold,
Look out, I'm coming for you,
Oh God, you're looking old.

You got an overbite,
and a wicked tongue,
You got to let them down
before you can live it up.
Live it up, now.

If only I
had chance to see
myself become
part of mythology.

Damned if I
know anything
about a soldier
under, in between.

If I had keys
to Santa's sleigh,
I'd crash it straight into
the Hudson Bay.

Another death
Another way,
Another rodeo
on Judgement Day.

If I had a hundred mouths,
I'd chew all the gum in the world.
If I was a man of stone,
I'd stand atop a pedestal.
If I had a bigger heart,
I'd make some room for fellow man.
If I sat upon the throne,
I'd give myself a bloody hand.

If I had a hundred mouths,
I'd kiss every lip in the world.

C.W. Franz II
by C.W. Franz

In Charlie's words, this record is like travelling "all around the world (and the Mid-west) in just 36 minutes!" He's not kidding. I can't identify half the instruments he used, but they sound great. Kenny Hoffman

Mood Indica
by Mood Indica

I often consult Ryan about my own recordings. Listen to his most recent EP to find out why. The arrangements! The humungous synths! The layers! The songwriting! I couldn't do any of it. Great stuff. Kenny Hoffman
