The vine climbs up the flower stem
It's gonna be the end of both of them
But I'm just writing on the wall what's on my mind
You made it home with a busted hip
But just because we caught you don't mean you can't slip
I'll be keeping an eye out for you, man, most all the time
Don't let it fall over you
Don't let it fall over you
Spider called me on the telephone
Said he's out of luck and upside down
"Get me, man, as soon as you can, I'm spinning"
My head was pouring like a gutter spout
Rain coming down and it was all coming out
Singing sweet songs to the dogs above, I know they're listening
And don't let it fall over you
Don't let it fall over you
I was doing 60 when I hydroplaned
Sometimes you learn a lesson and sometimes you just change
Throw it all at the wall, all that you got
Firing spuds down in the weeds
And life is just as easy as waking from a dream
Walk the highway barrier to the bus stop
And don't let it fall over you
Don't let it fall over you

Stone Rolling

Spinning like a spinning wheel, all spun out
Going 'round and 'round and 'round the light
Feeling like a stone inside, I can't roll it
Cannot make it budge but I'll die trying
Stone rolling
Stone rolling
Stone rolling
Stone rolling
Rock me, babe, when I'm low
Rock me rock me, babe, til I roll
Heaven above, nothing below
Rock me rock me, babe, til I gotta go
Stone rolling
Stone rolling
Stone rolling
Stone rolling

The Shell Song

There's darkness on my mind today I don't know what to do
So I swing the axe the only way I know how to
I'm gonna leave you in the dust if the waiting game is through
I'm gonna leave you in the dust if I have to
You used to be someone who was more than just a shell
But your anger ate you up and everyone can tell
I'm not gonna wait around to see what you become
Because good or bad I do not care at all
I'm not gonna knock on your empty shell
I don't need you now
I guess I just turned away from seeing what you are
Someone who pushed their anger down till it rotted out their heart
You can lie to yourself and to anyone who'll listen
But you cannot lie to the hole inside where you were is missing
I don't know who messed you up or the dirty that they did you
But if you're the one who's fucked inside, there's no one else can fix you
See you spinning like a fool, trying to place the blame
When I see you down the line I hope you're not the same
I'm not gonna knock on your empty shell
I don't need you now

You Can't Reach Me

Looking back
At my heart beating
I had to leave it behind
I got my life
Bound up so tight
I wish it would unwind
But I'm out here
You can't reach me
Don't even try
False friends
Who would believe you
I don't believe you
And I see your lights
All your little lights
Getting dim as the fire leaves you
But I'm out here
You can't reach me
Don't even try
