Emily lived in a place about 2,000 people strong,
Where people knew her and thought that
she could never do no wrong
She got by the tough times with her pretty looks and
a pretty smile
Popular girl in high school made all the boys run wild
Emily was a good girl went to church on Sundays while her parents stayed at home
She dug Elvis and she dug horses, but in the end she dug herself a great deal more
She graduated top of her class and felt that she was better than all the rest
It was her time to shine and so she decided to make the best of what she’s got
So she followed God, packed her bags and got on a flight to the City of Angels
Arrived there late in the night with ne’er an angel in sight
For five long years Emily tried to make her dreams come true
But when each year passed, oh, she longed for something new
She met a man who said that he can make her into
the star she wants to be
But in the end her dreams were just a stepping stone
for his needs
Emily had had enough she tried to find ways to feel better
She took up a job laying on a bed while men crawled up and called her sugar
Ten years passed since Emily left that town high and dry
A lot has changed since then we got a new church, new signs
Emily, I believe, Emily has gone back to her old life
She lives in a trailer outside of town as the Carpet Layer’s Wife

Stuck on an Island

The year was 2049
When some serious shit went down inside the reactor
I never thought in a million years this could happen here
But it happened
The fire and the flames came from the sky
And the beings left their ship, headed for the Earth
The only thing left that I could do was
Escape down the side hatch and grab some food
that’s when I saw him
He said “Come on man, let’s get hell out of Dodge”
And I got down inside his shiny red car and we flew
I’m stuck on an island with
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Kate Upton
Not a bad life at all
So there we were on this little island
‘Bout a thousand miles off the coast of Thailand, we were happy
Neil would talk all sciencey
And Kate was just pretty awesome
But then one day it went all it to shit
Kate and I saw this ship and we ran
Neil got taken right away,
I kissed Kate goodbye and told her to stay
And I played the hero once again
I’m stuck on an island with
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Kate Upton
Not a bad life at all
I went inside the alien ship, and I started to flip all the tables
I ran until I simply fell, and the aliens said they were here to
help me get better
You can’t hold me in this jail cell,
the white walls and pills around
I’ll get back out there one day with Neil and Kate we're family
I’m stuck on an island with
Neil deGrasse Tyson and Kate Upton
Not a bad life at all

Here we are
Not knowing where we’re going, but knowing where we’ve been
Thorns creeping up over all the skyscrapers
Our bodies move slower, but the city moves faster
Strange things await, as the night grows near
Stay with me, baby, there isn’t anything that you have to fear
I don’t think
I’ll ever get over all the things that you ever did to me
But I guess I will, tonight
We awake
As lively little lights dance across your face
Head on my shoulder
There's something in the way she moves that puts me in that certain mood
Strange things awake, as the dawn draws near
Stay with me, baby, there isn't anything to fear
I don’t think
I’ll ever get over all the things that you ever did to me
But I guess I won't, tonight

Sunset

The sun is setting down on the Hudson tonight
All I can see is your smile shining bright
Oh, how I wish this night would last forever
But now I know, it’s now or never
Sunset has come and gone, I knew you were the one
Sunset on our summer day, oh, how I wish I could stay
When I think back on all that we had,
Lord I hope you will understand
That when I left you I never said, That we’d never meet again
Sunset has come and gone, I knew you were the one
Sunset on our summer day, oh, how I wish I could stay

Creosote House

There it stands, that old house
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years
Since that time when the old tire swing
Would sway by and by
The creosote house is not very far
From where we would look at the stars
The swamp is out in the back
Where we would stay until our love fled
And when I walk back through that place
I just want to stay
But I know you’ve gone away
The sun would shine through the windows
And the wind would howl through the night
The birds would sing their sweet solemn song
And we would hum along
The creosote house is not very far
From where we would look at the stars
The swamp is out in the back
Where we would stay until our love fled
And when I walk back through that place
I just want to stay
But I know you’ve gone away

Bag Fry

You’re my bag fry
Last one standing
Only one to survive
You’re my bag fry
Left to your own devices
Left out to dry
Will I forget you
Will I try
lf I find you
Will you be my bag fry
The tastiest secret known to man
Is the discarded unknown
Down the streets of St. Anne
You’ll find them all alone
Find yourself on some summer night
Down by the riverside
And there we’ll be in love
Will I forget you
Will I try
lf I find you
Will you be my bag fry
Strum the chord
Sing the song
The melody will fly
For my bag fry
