The Bell Tree (free) 02:44
We can see the bell tree at the edge of the field We put our money and our cups inside its soul We ring the bell we ring the bell and then we run Mr. Smith, he takes our money and then he fills us up To the brim, oh, to the brim and then he rings the bell.

Fizzy Lifting Drinks (free) 04:07
You got, a bloody nose the moment I walked into your life I got, a kiss on my blue hair in the back seat of a car We made, artwork for each other fashioned from a piece of tape You made in me, a new heart Newly rebuilt, from spare parts and I can count every flake of snow as it falls to the ground there is no place that I'd rather be right now than in your embrace.

Blown Out Chucks (free) 03:30
The Hot Flashez were closing the night when you caught my eye You were skanking with some of your friends and you drew me in, you drew me in with Your purple hair That cardigan Those blown out chucks I'm in love We made out on those nasty couches along the wall, along the wall We paid no mind to where they had been We didn't think about things like that back then Your purple hair That cardigan Those blown out chucks I'm in love Hand in hand and we spin hand in hand and it went something like this
4.
The raindrops slid down the window pain and your fast asleep in the passenger seat The city lights, begin to fade away Its just you and me, and the evergreens The wiper blades make the greatest of scenes Of reds and yellows, of blacks and greens I'll use the stars, they will become our guide and lead us along, the shore line I am someplace where I don't know where I am and I think I'm ok with that Am I dreaming? Please turn on the light. This is my awakening

N. Saginaw (free) 04:45
I grew up on the corner of Saginaw and Feher In a brick house where a women was shot and killed In her bedroom, in the closet, that's all we ever knew The neighbors tried to warn my mom and dad when they moved in They said to sprinkle salt around the house to make her go away But they didn't, I wish they would have, because she'd still visit In our sleep We could hear her footsteps pacing up and down the hall I saw her shadow Standing over my bed She would throw parties In the kitchen late at night We could smell her coffee and her cigarettes When I went to get my things, she said she missed me so much When I moved out, she slammed the door behind me shut She asked if my sister was outside She said she had something to tell her But we never went back inside For all we know she's still in there.
6.
When I was a boy I would pray to God and ask to speak to my Grandpa I asked him "What's it like on the moon?" "What's the earth look like from there?" "Are you still watching over me?" I asked him why he turned yellow before he died He said "I had to leave my sins behind or God wouldn't let me in" He said "God said I drank too much and If I want to be a part of his love, I've got to give myself up" I've got to give myself up Laying in his hospital bed his eyes rolled back in his head and everyone began to cry When he opened up one eye Looked up at his weary wife and said "fooled you didn't I" Then he laid back down his head With a smile on his face in his bed he said "Brothers, I missed you" Then Grandpa turned from yellow to blue To walk with the man on the moon Grandpa I sure miss you.

Grandmother Ocean (free) 02:04
This song is for my Grandmother Ocean Whose waves have battled the coastline for years Yes this song is for my Grandmother Ocean She protects us from rough waters, her cancer, her tears This song is for my Grandmother Ocean Who when we were little, would see one time a year Yes this song is for my Grandmother Ocean Her waters run deeper than the mountains up here
