1.	Copywriter's Lament 02:21	lyrics	buy track
Well the truth may be my profession Ah, but lately I've been hockin' lies Everybody's got to have a hustle these days And maybe one or two more on the side But even the truth can lead to contradiction Like here's the thing with the truth It ain't so easy to swallow But it's often alcohol induced We'll I used to hit the street to report the beat But now it's copy that I write But you can say it's all the same these days anyway Let me tell you what it's like You open any magazine You take a look inside You get your news from the glossy ads While the articles advertise You learn a few things As the pendulum swings Let me spell it out for you plain Everybody suffers through the good times Everybody gets a little pleasure from pain But what's the angle to the story? What's the reason and the rhyme? Babe I don't get paid to speculate I've just been spinning the yarn to fill the lines
2.	Calico Nightmare 03:04	lyrics	buy track
And all with the moon 'neath the light of the tower All the ladies did waltz As the nightshades flowered Simmer down ladies Simmer down sea And all with the love Come dance with me The model of the moment Mysterious Mistress causes the cayote to question his mischief "With more than the axe of all you have known You'll need to get through, the flesh to the bone" And the sun breaks the day, like a fist through a wall And night fades like a language that no one can recall You see it all laid before you, uncloaked and unnamed Leaving you here to exclaim; Oh my god, oh my god, I can't believe I'm alive What must conspire, for this moment to arrive? Of all that's been blessed, and all that's forlorn What are the odds to have even been born?
