"Howdy Chief"
Fill 'er up
Five dollars
Fill 'er up
Five dollars
What flavor would you like?
We got three to choose from
Did you see me out there running?
Every rainy night
Where Hellgate meets McLoughlin
Under wet streetlights

"City of Roses"
Wanderin'
My City of Roses
I don't know yet
I've only seen
A centimeter
Of your soul

"Full Tank Wish List"
Hey...
I've been where the sun shines
I've been where the rains came
I've been where the trees fell
Down
But I'd really like to go
Where our footprints start to show
Hey...
But I'd really like to go
Where our angels fill the snow
In no time
Hey...
But I'd really like to go
Where we're feeling free and slow
In no time
At all

"Turtleneck"
In a way
She was normal
Mebbe I was in her way
Hooray
She was real
Mebbe I was in her way
Met her in an alley
Watching TV through a fence
She might have asked how I was doing
I don't remember
In a way
She was new
Mebbe I was in her way
Hooray
She had a clue
Mebbe I was in her way
Bored and young and impatient
We cruised around in her hearse
Nothing good on the radio
She took an 8-track out of her purse
Mister Chilton
Gently towed
Our big black car
Down the road
She was guilty
I was stoned
Big Black Car
Made the road
We sang out his stories
Of bell bottom woe
Talked about faces
We used to know
Ashtrays filled up
And the windows went down
We found ourselves
Outside a shitty hometown
In a way
She was everything
Mebbe I was in her way
Hooray
She was nothing at all
But mebbe I was in her way
Her boots were really ice skates
Without their metal blades
She pushed one hard on the pedal
The mirrored headlights faded
Away

"Stolen: Honda Dream"
It's scary to love you
You're gonna go away
You might be my favorite
Doom and gloom loom
Someday
We could spin around
Hit DQ when you wind down
You're so beautiful
What can I say?
I'll never leave you
You'll never stay
Somebody stole my Honda Dream away
Somebody stole my Honda Dream today
You dumped me on Sandy
For that Volvo driving man
I woke up to sirens
DeSoto and Gage in a van
I forgave you
It's true
But I was still sore and blue
You might have killed me
What can I say?
I'll never find you
The crook got away
Somebody...
I get by with you
The streets are a lonely old cliche
I swear that I've heard you
Seen you turn the other way
My hopeful days are through
There's others
Not just you
You're the shiny one
I miss the most
When I'm at Beaterville
Over my toast
Somebody stole my Honda Dream...

"Suicidal Continental Sled" (Part I)
I can see from the footage
You're doing just fine
I was in front
But now I'm behind
High as a kite
Taking 99 north
In a suicidal Continental sled
With northern lights
Just swimming in my head
My blood is blue
My eyes are red
There's a really crazy Foley artist
In my head
I hear you walking around
Cartoon girls go screaming by
Pebbles and Velma
They're doing just fine
They got no one in front
They got no one behind
High as a kite
Taking 99 north
In a suicidal Continental sled
Airplane glue and methane
In their heads
My blood is blue
My eyes are red
There's a really crazy Foley artist
In my head
I hear you walking around

"Sawyer's Sunshine"
Duffer
Yer stuck
On a Wild Strawberries road trip
Museum beetles chewing up your mind
A flapper ghost
Rolls silents in your head
Of a super eight soundtrack
Filmstrip Cosmonaut
Wreck of the Iredale
Time
I was a stump
Until your silent waves
Liberated me
I gotta ramp
I gotta gorge
I guess
It's just a porch
I can't ring the bell
Paranoid Knievel I am
I can't stay up
And watch you anymore
The bulb burns
I'm passed out on the floor
Dreams carry grace
On their careless wings
In a super eight soundtrack
Puke up Nineveh
D River cannonball roar
I was a stone
Until your silent waves
Wore me down
I gotta ramp
I gotta gorge
I guess
It's just a porch
I can't ring the bell
Paranoid Knievel I am

"Peace Officers"
Sergeant Wojciehowicz
Knew the lovers and the poets
And scruntinized the man
Fish could sleep
All through the night
If he could find the bathroom light
For every Poncherello
There's another kind of fellow
With a nightstick in his hand
Sometimes
It's the only thing
That makes him a man
We've been beating our own
Since we've had trees
Something mighty compelling
'Bout a man on his knees
Ol' Muldoon and Toody
Never spouted
"Ooh ooh, goody!"
When it came to protest day
Birmingham was far away
From hot dog stands
And Charlotte Rae
Portland and Seattle
Are just another battle
For those who take a stand
Curl up in a ball
Stay conscious
If you can
We've been beating our own
Since we've had trees
Something mighty compelling
'Bout a man on his knees

"The Empire at Home"
Wappato
Was the Garden of Eden
Not much to do
By way of chores
Take a canoe
Paddle a spell
Go fishing
Fishing
Come back late
Never catch hell
Just huggin' and a kissin'
Clark and Lew turned the bend
Saw the Willamette end
The tribe made a great big lunch
Everybody ate a bunch
Somebody asked around
'Bout the tater thing they chowed down
The tribe said it just grew
If when you dug
You planted two
When I was young
We'd visit the Whitmans
Buried deep
At least out of sight
We drove by
Bulldozed piles
Nez Perce and Cayuse stuff
Piles
When the hatchet hit bone
Did it finally get home
Through centuries of denials?
Aliens come and go
They always have a pattern though
No spirit
Just a god
Soldiers to enforce the fraud
Soon the companies arrive
Missionary overdrive
Small pox
A new hive
Soon they start to thrive
Say goodbye
To gold and uranium
Gasoline
In your geranium
Gather your salt
At the edge of the Earth
Leave turtles in their mangers
Find yourself home
On top of the curve
Below there's only dangers
The carrots are all okay
Wappatos every day
The rest is what the devil found
That's why it's buried further down
So leave it in the fucking ground
