I wonder how many of you ever survived the gathering of the vibes there he goes and there he went to set up his tent oh its just like I said its just a place where I lay my head And I might get bent - so buddy Don't p on my tent, Don't p on my tent Its not about the price I paid Its just a place where I might get laid Oh and I might get bent So budday don't P on my Tent Don't P on my tent I remember getting down with Les Claypool and James Brown Rat Dog in the pouring rain thats when the , thats when the lightening came Back to the camp, to sleep in the damp So lets have another round for all the boys on the ground There standing at the nineteenth hole The woodchucks beavers n moles The woodchucks beavers n moles Another day another dime I'm gonna work till the end of time Legal rape when the bills come in Over n over n over n over n over n over n over again When will it never end!

Suicide Toad 03:39
This is the story that's never been told about the life of the Suicide Toad there you are out on the Centerline Everythings right every things just fine The pavements warm and the rains just right won't you come out and dance with me tonight Dancing out in the middle of the road Dancing with all the other Toady Toads This song may relate to someone that you know there always hanging out in the middle of the road Sleep all day and live all night I've gotta tell ya something just ain't right you ain't dance, you ain't dance, you ain't dancin in the moon light Eighteen wheels on dead man's curve you know that trucker ain't gonna swerve pickin up the toads in his tready tread its all just a game to him Thank you all for coming here tonight some are high and some are tight take a step to the left or right It may be your last step in life Dont drink n don't drink n drive

Gold Medallions for our heros in the sun what good is gold if the sun never comes Aaaagain Sent to the sweltering land of hell that never ends Not looking forward to looking forward my friend What was it like perhaps a life to end A little piece inside dies as the trigger finger bends --ooo its the end -- end for him Out of touch and out of time Out of reach and out of mind Something distresses you my friend This thing has gripped you from deep within your silence screams of a driven pain I'm sure it'll be with you -- Be with youuuu Till the end Dear Poppa never seen those men before In militarian style they flank the front door Its news of Tommy he's lost in the war She whispers - Who's the war for As she slips to the floor And he Slams the Door!!! Out of touch and out of time Out of reach and out of mind Gold medallions for our heros in the sun What good is gold if the sun never comes Sun never comesssss -- AAAAAaaaaaaaaa

She woke up with her leg on his He woke up to a morning Kisssss He said I'll go and make the coffee She said I'll be right there As he looked out the window she put up her hair Time was passing them bye neither one cared He whispered secrets in her ear As he'd do through the years she said lets go for a drive down by the seaside As he lay down the blanket love was in the air Where the rocks meet the ocean the love was there A child was born to them The three of them lay on the bed A tear of joy ran down his face This moment they couldn't replace As they lay down the baby their lives entwine She lit the fire He poured the wine The child was grown and gone The two of them would carry onnnn Holding hands across the grass Knowing that the time wouldn't last Making love in the - sunset of their eyes Perfect, perfect lives Perfect, oooooooo perfect lives
