Captain Hook 04:07
she fell in the ocean she fell off the boat i pulled her on deck she went for the throat consider the difference of love and of guilt consider the sameness of what have built Pray for me now Pray for me dear I took the bait I made the call I cut the sails I stripped the hull Pray for me now Pray for me dear It was a simple delivery Now the curtain calls I can take you with me I can take you all I pray for you now I pray for you dear Because I’m the Captain Because I’m the Captain Yes I’m the Captain now When we slipped the port In the cover of night You found your Jesus And I found mine Pray for me now I pray for you dear Because i’m the captain Because I’m the captain Yes I’m the captain now By hook or by crook I am the captain of this life

The Wind 06:10
I come from Virginia with nothing in tow I look out from the train at the Mojave below Seems like they’re burning here, burning from wind It seems like they’re always here, with the wind We pushed through the night and the day and the night The windows rattling, the wind it did fight I don’t feel so welcome here, chased by the wind I feel so exposed out here, lost in the wind And the wind keeps blowing the sand in your face And the wind never stops, never pauses, never waits We know that you’ll like it here Echos the wind Kicked out of houses and kicked out of homes Taken a wife so I’m never alone And the plains keep drying up from the wind And the cattle keep dying out, from the wind And the wind keeps blowing the sand in your face And the wind never stops, never pauses, never waits We know that you’ll like it here Echos the wind And all the dead horses are crying As they whip down the mountain, and hiding And the neighbor’s little shack has gone flying And what life I had left, has gone awry has gone awry ...Echos the wind

CAGE 01:51
I never wrote a song in F# minor that I liked I never drove an American car I could stomach I never read all those books you lent me I never want to think about the cage think about the cage think about the cage think about the cage I never did appreciate your gesture of kindness I never had a palate for wine I always look forward to the horizon I never want to think about the cage It’s closer than it looks Like you could fly into it Reach out and grab my hand Pull me in build the bridge a bit think about the cage think about the cage think about the cage Think about the cage

Blood for blood wall for a wall that’s just the natural order for it all I’m taking care of me first It’s all you can do in times like these Gotta buckle down and bootstrap up Socially darwin I’m divesting in the future trading it for gold something more intrinsically valuable Gotta watch my money You gotta watch your purse A social contract? I never signed that. Socially darwin I speak my mind so should everyone else we are inherently equally respected If every voice speaks With excellent clarity and diction Without stuttering or affect We’ll get along just fine Socially darwin
