 "ENOUGH AS A STRANGER"

JASON MOLINA

A hand
A strong hand
A stranger's hand
All the world divides fire into fire
The wreck into the wreck
All the work divides waste into waste
Eyes into a stranger's eyes
Eyes into the stranger's eyes
Smoke into stone
And iron into wood
Eyes all alone
Good into good
Good into gone
Eyes alone, a stranger's eyes
Eyes alone, a stranger's eyes


 "THE BIG GAME IS EVERY NIGHT"

SONGS: OHIA

 

It'll get so quiet when this record ends
You can hear the first hour of the world
You can hear the willow branches touch the wave
Write our names beside our darlings hearts
You can hear the willow branches touch the wave
Write our names beside nothing
Rise moon, on the shores of the sea
Shine on the distance between me
And the last thing I see
Let it be me helping
Let it be me, honestly
Let it be me working
On being a better me
Now light the field for the big game tonight
Mark Twain to Thomas Jefferson:
Strike
Luke the Drifter to Zimmerman:
Line drive to keep the team alive
To keep the team alive
Rise moon, on the shores of the sea
Shine on the distance between me
And the last thing I see
Let it be me helping
Let it be me, honestly
Let it be me working
On being a better me
Unitas to Berry
Unitas to Berry
So good it's scary
With everything against you, sweetness
You get the first down again
See it's ones like this you can always trust
Not to disappoint us
Moon shine that white-lightning light
Down on the possums stage tonight
Maybe I'm the man in black
You could hold a little something back
To let his eyes adjust to the light
Rise moon, right above me
Rise moon, right above me
Rise moon, right above me
Show an American, if really
I am the snake, they're all saying
If they look up here, do they see just my black tail swaying?
If I'm all fangs, and all lies, and all poison
If I'm really what they're saying
I don't want to disappoint them

 "AN ACE UNABLE TO CHANGE"

SONGS: OHIA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKFJ02NiXN4 

Tonight I am gambling with my sentiment
 Tonight I am gambling with my repentance
Deny I am losing in a crowded room
To a gambler in a crown of thorns
Tonight I am down to my soul
Tonight I am down to my soul
Tonight I am down to my soul
Tonight I am down to my soul

[Verse 2]
Tonight I am gambling with my sentiment
Tonight I am gambling with my salvation
Deny I am losing in a crowded room
To a gambler in a crown of thorns
Tonight I am damned to my soul
Tonight I am damned to my soul
Tonight I am damned to my soul
Tonight I am damned to my soul

 

 "THE RULES OF ABSENCE"

SONGS: OHIA

 And the spaniel's down among
The old blue tick
Read about how the sherriff's down among
The old blue tick
And i can't say who you are
With your new running boards
And the spaniel's down among
The old black ear
Read about how the Spainard's down among
The old black hair
And i can't say who you are
With your new running boards
And i can't say who you are
Goodnight city boys

"INCANTATION"

SONGS: OHIA 

 the sound of our feet against the road
it spreads through the night (x2)
and the city's ending
speak to me if we're near the bottom
work it out with me (x2)
caution, like the moon, hangs on the tracks
blood and the lightning hangs on the tracks and
it spreads through the night (x2)
to where the city's ending
an absent star
worked it out with me (x2)
spreads through the night (x2)

 

"THE BODY BURNED AWAY"

SONGS: OHIA 

 Death as it shook you
You gave it a fool's look
You said I am an empty page to you
Give me your hand give me you blood
Don't misunderstand
I once had all the words
I forgot all the words

Held the binding lightning
Held the binding lightning

Began to burn away
We began to burn away

Held the binding the lightning
Held the binding the lightning

Began to burn away
Began to burn away

The body burns away
The body burns away
The body burns away
The body burns away
The body burns away
The body burns away

 

 "WALKING THE COW"

DANIEL JOHNSTON

 Try to remember
But my feelings can't know for sure
Tried to reach out
But it's gone

Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow

I really don't know how I came here
I really don't know why I'm staying here
Oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow

Tried to point my finger
But the wind was blowing me around
In circles
Circles

Lucky stars in your eyes
I am walking the cow

I really don't know what I have to fear
I really don't know what I have to care
Oh, oh, oh
I am walking the cow
