I wanna hurry home to you.



You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years
Before I saw you

You know I dreamed about you
I missed you
For 29 years

If you see her, say hello.





If you see her, say hello, she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring, is livin' there, I hear
Say for me that I'm all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I've forgotten her, don't tell her it isn't so.

We had a falling-out, like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill
And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and gettin' free
Oh, whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night I tried to make her stay.

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.

These Dog Days

I've never seen
Or heard
Dr. Dog before
but I'm going
To hear
And see
Them tonight!



Oh, what you thought was a hurricane
Was just the rustling of the wind
Why you think we need amazing grace
Just to tell it like it is?
Oh, I don't need no doctor
To tear me all apart
I just need you
To mend my heart
I need you to mend my heart

Shred



When it comes to pride
And other sinful matters
You're gonna be misled
Left feeling tattered

I've got to go because
Something's on my mind
And it won't get better
No matter how hard I try

Whoa yeah
You just got to be
The best thing for me

Evil hides
In dark places
But now I find it
In familiar faces

It's hard to take risks. With a pessimist.





I wish we could all dance as fast and free as these little black babies.

Deer Tick : Art Isn't Real

Rhode Island born,
Rhode Island bred,
When I die
I'll be Rhode Island dead.




I am the dotted line
and you fill me in
with whatever you like

And I, I'm just goin' through the motions
And I need an old-fashioned potion
There's gotta be some old recipe
'Cause I gotta get drunk,
I gotta forget about some things

I lived in lies all my life
And I've been livin here for a long, long time
And I know it's been comin down a while now,
When it shows then you get me on the dial
But right now, you're half way around the world
Maybe I'll see better days, but I'm not so sure I will

And I, I'm still hangin round and round
And sometimes it's a racket, but lately not a sound
And in the bowels of history and time,
Well I have learned to stand back and never shine
And now I feel stupid when I smile
For not a journey, but a circus are our lives

(whistle)

I can't make up for everything I waste
And I know that I could never afford a taste
Of anything that your lovely hands make
It eats away, well before the soul breaks

Is it because it brings a smile to my face?
Just a bad memory, you just can't erase

I know of a city to steal from
And I know of a city to cheat on
I know of a city of sin,
And thats the place that I wanna meet you in
Say hello all over again,
Romance me, take me back to the beginning

To the artists:



I've been working with an artist all week.
And listening to this artist all week.
I can't wait to rest my brain.

And suddenly
I've found myself
An innovator"
