Bonzai 03:20
I take you out, to be with you (bonsai bonsai bonsai) Whatever I am, I am true (bonsai bonsai bonsai) Wherever I am, you’ll be with me, (bonsai bonsai bonsai) Wherever I go, that’s where you’re gonna be, (bonsai bonsai bonsai) When you’re in love, that’s forever I thought I saved myself today I’ve been obsessed with this situation I’m gonna breathe my soul away Wherever you go, I’ll find you

All I want to do is get high and play my banjo Let the world pass me by, I bought a flange pedal When I go out walking down the street, all of these people stop and stare at me They don’t bother me, They’ve got no time for me, Me or my banjo It’s twenty-two past noon, I’m still missing her If love was in open G, maybe it would play easier (Chorus) People tell me keep my head above, that’s not easy when there’s nobody left If you need someone tonight and you’re feeling blue I’ve got five strings and nowhere to be, and I’ve been missing you

Walk It Off 03:45
The lights are on in the hotel Midnight at the Drury Inn He looks straight out and thinks about Loading up again I had a feeling it would come to this, The cold comes out when it wants to Cell phones snap like a .22 "Look at what I ate tonight" "Look at what I ate tonight" What have I been doing to you? What have I been doing to you? I kind of ran right through you Now you gotta walk it off I bought a gun and it was easy Didn't even make a scene I look straight out and think about Loading up again They call the air brisk, it don't move around, Cold comes when it wants to, And I am going to make a scene I am gonna make a change, I am gonna make a change (Chorus) Supply side, The bone's dry, The food's good, I know why

At the first chance I get, I’m going to tear off my own head It’s one of those things I’ve been meaning to get around to I thought I had my problems coked up and dead, But some of those things come right back down and surround you Oh, I’m out in the real world No one can waste my time but me If I’m not drunk, I won’t be sad If I’m not sad, I won’t be cruel If I’m not cruel, you can’t be mad, Still, I think it’s time to refuel, Oh, I’m out in the real world No one can waste my time but me I am the ghost that leaves you shaking in your bones I am the sounds you make when you think you’re alone I am the voice calling you home

Stick Around 03:48
In the drought, in the pouring rain I looked hard but I looked in vain Nothing ever comes back that was ever there before I’m never going downtown Cigarette smoke ghost high See your face framed by the sky I’m going down to Arizona but there’s nothing in the desert just Canadian people Maybe I’ll just stick around, See who doesn’t make it out It’s alright, it’s alright, I don’t feel alright tonight I think I’m waking up Gutshot and feeling dead Listen up is all I said Find me a place where there’s nothing obnoxious happening It’s difficult to make sense You don’t know where that thing’s been, I’m breaking out, I’m breaking down, but I don’t know how to start waking up (bridge part again) I’m hungover, wide awake, full grown It’s the middle of the night, there’s not much left to know I’m hungover, wide awake and I am stoned I don’t want to be alone

I work as a dental surgeon, March of 1943 They need a way to beat the Japanese , so I stepped up I made up a weapon that was elementary But effective to a T, and I showed them Little leather With incendiary feathers They all agreed that it will work And oh, in 16 days My bomb will make its way To the shores of Nagasaki America the beautiful lives on. Lately I've been drinking, Feeling bad for what I've done To the land of the rising sun, and its daughters And many men and women will die from what I've made They will fear the bat brigade, flying over the Western waters We watched the fuel truck burn and realized that it was our turn To tell men how to die It's for the greater good I'm sorry to say. There is no other way America the beautiful lives on.
