Down here in Portland
Up here in Maine
Living on the ocean in the salty air
Is driving me insane
So I’ll count up my blessings
Yeah I’ll count ‘em all up twice
And this time around maybe I’ll find one I missed
And I’ll feel alright
Down here in Portland
Down here in Portland
I’m afraid I’ll live forever
I’m afraid of growing old and gray
Like a bottom-feeding lobster in a funnel trap
Until the end of all his days
And I know it gets lonely
I guess I know it all too well
If I could just stay put for an hour or two
I might break out of this shell
Down here in Portland
Down here in Portland
Down here in Portland
Down here in Portland
Where you can’t get there from here
Down here in Portland

In My Head

I’ll wake up just to fall back asleep
It feels like something’s hidden deep
In my head
In my head
Call it bad timing call it bad luck
Call it predictable but I’m stuck
In my head
In my head
In my head
It’s where the problems start
That nervous pinkish thing is falling apart
In my head
Every smile is a theater prop
As I try to make the voices stop
In my head
In my head
And most days are better than not
But that isn’t saying a lot
In my head
In my head
In my head
It’s where the problems start
That nervous pinkish thing is falling apart
In my head

Dark Hollow

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to be in some big city
In a small room with a girl on my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
I'm goin' and I'm never comin' back
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to see you another man's darling
Well I'd probably lose my mind
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
I'm goin' but I'm never comin' back
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where that sun don't ever shine
Than to be home alone
Knowin' that you're gone
And to know you'll never be mine
So blow your whistle freight train
Take me far on down the track
I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
I'm goin' and I'm never comin' back
I'm goin' away
I'm leavin' today
I'm goin' but I'm never comin' back

All About You

I told the daffodils
I told the whippoorwills just how pretty you smile
Yes I told them all about you
And I told every little bird
Every single little word that you say is worthwhile
Yes I told them all about you
Well I told the moon and every little star that shines above
About the way you roll those pretty eyes and how you love
Each little honeybee knows it's gonna be a honeymoon for two
Yes I told them all about you
I told the daffodils
I told the whippoorwills just how pretty you smile
Yes I told them all about you
And I told every little bird
Every single little word that you say is worthwhile
Yes I told them all about you
Well I told the moon and every little star that shines above
About the way you roll your pretty eyes and how you love
Each little honeybee knows there's gonna be a honeymoon for two
Yes I told them all about you
Well I told the moon and every little star that shines above
About the way you roll those pretty eyes and how you love
Each little honeybee knows there's gonna be a honeymoon for two
Yes I told them all about you

I miss the way that record played
Broken on repeat all day
I’ve never felt so lonely in my life
And now I'm grown up I can see
The awful place this world must be
I couldn’t feel more useless if I tried
Good times are coming
They should be here any day
If they never get here
We can fake them anyway
Until we’re comfortable
Days turn into weeks and months
Time runs out all once
I've never felt so wasteful in my life
I'd give up most anything
To see what yesterday might bring
I haven't been myself for quite sometime
Good times are coming
They should be here any day
If they never get here
We can fake them anyway
Until we’re comfortable

Letters To Alfred

Like a mass of flesh and protein
I’ve been finding myself in bad dreams
A sky littered with fire and laser beams
As the world is conquered by machines
And I think I know just what this means
I think Hell is bursting at the seams
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow
Maybe it’s time to set things right
After all these countless days and nights
Before the souls inside their codes ignite
And the robots launch their final fight
The grace of their God will shine out bright
When the virus steps into the light
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow
Where do the bad people go
When the gates of Hell overflow

I’ve lost damn near more than I can stand to lose
And when I lay my head at night it’s overflowing with the blues
It might take some time for the top to boil off
Two crushed beer cans in my pocket stumbling through the night
This cold and empty winter air is trying to pick a fight
And I’m drunk and lonely as the night is long
So I’m going down the road feelin’ bad, bad, bad
And the dreams I hold inside are the worst I’ve ever had
Maybe I just need some space to clear my head
But the worst place to do that is lying here in bed
When all my thoughts surround me in the dark
Remind myself I’m young, still young I’ve got plenty of time
But I’ve got no goddamn idea what’s coming down the line
One of these days I’ll pack my bags and go
You told me once hell maybe you said it twice
But I’m stubborn and I’m young and I’m immune to good advice
You said “Don’t just wait around put up a fight”
As long as I keep running they can’t throw their dirt on me
But can I outrun the future we’ll just have to wait and see
Although none of this shit will matter in ten years
So why the hell am I awake afraid of all my fears
Maybe I’m too scared to let them die

I went down to St. James Infirmary
Saw my baby there
She was stretched out on a long, white table
So cold, so sweet, so fair
Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever, wherever she may be
She can search this old wide world over
She won’t ever find another man like me
When I die bury me in straight laced shoes,
A box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys will know that I died standin' pat

Love Will Carry Us Home
04:49

Love is a universal language
Spoken wherever you may roam
And through all the heartbreaking anguish
Love will carry us back home
On days when you're feeling lonely
When all your worries start to grow
Remember one thing if only
Love will carry us back home
And I'll see you again
Crowed out the rooster to the hen
Love will carry us back home
You can try to outrun your trouble
Halfway from everything you know
And if the distance ever doubles
Love will carry us back home
No matter how much you’re hurt
And if the pain starts to show
Place your trust in these words
Love will carry us back home
And I'll see you soon
Cried the wolf to the moon
Love will carry us back home
When you look into the mirror
And see nothing of your own
Though you may wish it were clearer
Love will carry us back home
When you wake up in the morning
The sun will make itself known
Though it may come without warning
Love will carry us back home
And I miss you my dear
When you are not here
Love will carry us back home
Love will carry us back home
Love will carry us back home

I've seen a thing or two. Hell maybe nine or ten things more. I know what trouble sounds like and it's knocking at your door.
