Fort Rock 04:15
lyrics

"Fort Rock" Backpack came before the west Shouldering a little nest Curled up in Fort Rock 12,000 years of walk Backpack then Back back when Ol' sandals Loam and candles Backpack grew To backpack new All foam and home And mantles Backpack said goodbye Backpack shared a cry We love you Miss your smiles We count the days and miles Backpack sent So backpack went Out in a strangers' desert Back back there A backpack prayer To see you swiftly Coming safe back home

Goodbye to the Space Age 02:34

"Goodbye to the Space Age" Prophets come and prophets go Ancient ones still feed us crow Sci-fi sooths were in the know Pulpy rows of told-you-so Flashlight kids read 451 Saucer eyed Scared stiff And knowing some That it all had begun Live your dreams Silly as it seems There's still time to run around And have some fun Before we say goodbye to the Space Age

"Zigzag Mountain" We'll just end up two whirlwind survivors So what if we don't So what if we do I've seen the view from east Zigzag Mountain The fear that I know The fear that I knew I lost summer days I lost summer daisies She was flowing like a river She was friendly like a creek Cupid made me quiver The nights lost all their sleep From mop top Cary Grant To just a fucking creep We'll just end up two whirlwind survivors So what if we don't So what if we do I've seen the view from east Zigzag Mountain It was you

"PD Foamer" Call the Steel Hafta wait At the Vinegar Works Got one Comin' outta the long dark tunnel Got one Headin' up the hill Wait for the blue flag Then restore the Hag A dirty double morning Rain without a warning Here we come Signal indication Here we go Signal indication Here we come Here we go Tie 'em down at Champ Or shove 'em in the ramp Raise Fred in the tower Send Omaha a flower So much goes on Between Freddy and Mary Anything Everything you can carry Mebbe you are coming through The Big Nothin' Gotta wait There's a light power chuffin'

"What the Canoe Knew" You could be the Mermaid of Crater Lake Softly break the surface next to me Skinny dip and sail the Phantom Ship Sun ourselves under Wizard's trees Mermaid of Crater Lake Never down too long Mermaid of Crater Lake Comes up with a song Splashing Laugh until we sleep Happy We'll never know how deep it goes Mazama's gone But not her soul The truest blue Filled in the hole I don't know much This much I know Our times are great The waters cold

Ghost of Hangar A 02:44
lyrics
buy track
"Ghost of Hangar A" Cut your shirt tail And hung it on the wall Got the wings now Recovered every stall Sandy aviatrix Weaving safely through a squall Where the clouds And the mountains play Bounced your blimp To Tillamook Red Dried her out In the lonesome shed Sandy aviatrix The windsock isn't dead As the ghost of Hangar A Like a Quonset full of day Dirigibles could stay Light as feathers They floated in the tethers And the ropes of Hangar A No airships on the pole Tonight is too windy and cold In this weather She used to join the brethren As the toast of Hangar A Soon as we stow the gear We can wander the beaches near We'll be together Believing in a never When we know it's just a lie Tomorrow is brand new sky You'd better believe it

Silver Lake 04:04

"Silver Lake" Did we get all gussied Bolo tie and broach Make the old plug dazzle In our fourth hand royal coach Did we dance to fiddles Late into the night Find a quiet grove of trees And hold each other tight Way back when Way back when Way back The fire spread so quickly Did we even think Did our footsteps race together While a smoky moon went pink Did we race to save them A chance we had to take The buckets all were much too far A haul from Summer Lake Way back when Way back when Way back I know a girl That'll talk to me Talk to me Talk to me all through the night Handful in the world That'll talk to me Talk to me Talk to me all through the night Here and now Here and now

"Lonely DeSoto" When I was breaking in my marrow I saw the world from the backseat of a car Wing windows singing like old sparrows Take a look around There you are Now I crash behind the wheel In a field of cows And my Lonely DeSoto They nuzzle happily in the trunk While I get drunk In my lonely DeSoto When I was shaking in my marrow I saw the world from the right seat of your car Wing windows still sang like old sparrows Took a look around There you are Now I crash behind the wheel In a field of cows And my Lonely DeSoto They nuzzle happily in the trunk While I get drunk In my lonely DeSoto Steamy window autumn High above Oaks Bottom KISN Just the two of us in the world How long has it been I hope the sunshine Washes over the distant hills And into your lap

Columbia River Ballad 09:54
lyrics

"Columbia River Ballad" Taking the old road east To the falls Leaving our Stumptown streets And the walls Your Forum Boss Crown Point airplane toss Picnic in the moss Breathing in the spray Engineering marvels line the way Like the Bridge of the Gods once They seem here to stay Listening to The Clean All night Big river made the cliffs On the right Bonneville Lights Fog Kill the brights Woody was right Roll on Hypnotized by ladders We were young We loved to see 'em splashing Now they're gone Gone We DIY'ed a lover's lane Where the creatures graze and soar Thought we heard the footsteps Of the ones who came before Fingertips on petroglyphs Stacked rocks along the shore There's no steamboats in the rapids No rapids anymore On the Sam Barlow breadcrumb trail They said they saw a streambed all lined with gold On the Sam Barlow breadcrumb trail Ooooooh Love you Ooooooh Love you Feel the Plymouth Rock Feel the pilgrims come again Woke up early Started the car Turned the defrost on To see the last star The last star in your eyes The last star in the sky As the sun slowly started to rise Big chimney Started to smoke Straight into the sky God pulling rope Deep in a well Of things to make you sick Buckets of hell That leak into the creek The playgrounds Of kids full of hopes And isotopes Among the eagles nests The atom never rests White coats and hair Bunkers everywhere Pioneers in the fields of genocide Neighbors gotta stay Living everyday Farms and families On a slow Nagasaki ride If the jalopy dies in Arlington We won't worry none We'll hop the garbage train And sing in the sun While she rattles To Seattle's endless trash We'll hit the Diamond And made a little dash We're stinkies Need drinkies and baths Home at last Roll on Columbia Roll on
