Track Name: Railroads b/w FM Radio Interlude
RAILROADS
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c.2006)

You got railroads
Running by your door
You got who knows what
Out there

A forced swallow
Palms wrung loose and hot
You sit at the window at night
Waiting for the stop

You got railroads
Running by your door
You got railroads
Running by your door

You're hemmed in all sides
By inert freight crates
Strangling beercans at the conductors
Curtains reverse downskirt

You got railroads
Running by your door
You got railroads
Running by your door
Track Name: Mrs Evilsizer
MRS EVILSIZER
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

I'm the queen of this ship
I'm in tip-top shape
You can call me Mrs. Evilsizer
I know the rules and the ways
Of all the roads that you paved
You take it slowly when you're
Mrs. Evilsizer
I'm the queen of this ship
I run a tight, tight ship
I am a sailor on a chalkboard eraser
I beetle from above
What is the sea made of
It's hard to tell when you're on a stretcher

Elevator

(Planes don't really fly)
Track Name: The Heidi Game
THE HEIDI GAME
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

We could sit, I could tell you a story
About all the things that we've done wrong
We could go on and on forever
We could sit here all night long
I bet I could tell you a story
About something that I've done worse
And if it even really happened
A conscience is a blessing
The rest is a curse
It's the Heidi Game

Heaven Texas
All your ex's are in Texas but Colorado is your grave

And If you could tell me a story
Call collect from Texas on the phone
In that voice that just got out of rehab
Reading me three-page poems
You said that you had some old photographs
And you and me when I was a kid
We lived with you when my dad
Got kicked out of the house
By my stepmom
When I was twelve
It's the Heidi Game

Maybe
Satyr switch
Redrum
Mayday mayday mayday mayday
Track Name: Always Carry A Spare (Perfunctory 9/11 Song)
ALWAYS CARRY A SPARE (PERFUNCTORY 9/11 SONG)
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

After 9/11
There's a Koran in our corn chips
After 9/11
There's a terrorist in our deodorant sticks
And I never even hung a ribbon

(Hello?)

Easier to swallow workload
Make it up as you go

We built a shelter
Underneath the blanket that was in the bass drum
We'll build a shelter
Out of the blanket that was in the bass drum
Iran
Iraq
Give us some

Easier to swallow workload
Make it up as you go
Track Name: A Man Comes Thru
A MAN COMES THRU
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

A man comes through another day
He says "What am I doing?"
A man comes through another day
He's taking a screwing in the ass

A man is driving his car home
On the freeway in the sunset
A man turns his windsheild wipers on
Even though it isn't even raining
A man comes through another day
He's taking a screwing in the ass

A man comes through
A man comes through
What else can a man do but just come through?
Why have any hope for anything new?
Instead, a man just comes through

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dooka dooka dooka
I'm takin' ove!
Track Name: Get Out Of My House
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

God bless us for trying
One can actually manipulate the veins
Lock of it like a boa constrictor
Hang down the ladder's leg

The heart of the experience
They come on like steel wool shocks
That night they had the life out of me
Still my sleep seems sweet

The time has come to leave
The time has come for you to get out of my house
Get out

Young Sir untucks the bags
We thought that she would never leave us
Suddenly through the window
He backs up toward the old oil pumps
She left us in a bathroom
To await the pop

The time has come to leave
The time has come for you to get out of my house
Get out

Track Name: Cathoholica Song (Paula Song)
CATHOHOLICA SONG (PAULA SONG)
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

Hello Mother Mary
Heed my lollygagging
It's the only sound I can make
I knew a girl like you
Apples in the orchard
It's the only vow I can break

There's no way to
Save my face
I'm all faith

Hello Mother Mary
Heed my saddlebagging
It's the only sound I can make
I knew a face like yours
In another staredown
It's the only vow I can break

There's no way to
Save my face
I'm all faith
