Over The Underpass (free) 01:06
grow some woes at the show when i'm out with the vine while Gord says superfarmer's bent on the cover of TIME shake me awake by the lake and i'll steal it from here a lung full of butter and your mother and your bread disappear yankee snooze and the blues and a bottle of wine til next year you're hoping to find anywhere else count these pills in the till til they're stuck in mind the sign of the nighttime shines thought the white of your eyes what are your eyes?
