When did they board up all the storefronts?
we could use another bar in this town
Why did they lock up all the box cars?
Free and easy, bring everything you own
Ridin' the rails wherever
Hangin out with the dregs
Sure, you might end up a cripple
But who really needs two legs?
I guess what I'm trying to say is:
When's the last time you went on an adventure?
All the misery around me
With people living in a warm, wet cloud
With every perk of modern living
It really only serves to better bring you down
Gotta go to school
Tell everybody how you feel
Bitch and moan and cry
About stuff that isn't real
I guess what I'm trying to say is:
When's the last time you went on an adventure?
I mean one for real
Now I understand the concern
Nobody wants to get hurt or get killed
Surely a life without adventure
Is a life that I would say was never lived
So maybe take a day off
Go outside and hitch a ride
Go somewhere you ain't never been
Never know what you might find
All I'm really trying to say is
Whatever happened to adventure?
Why don't you tell me that?
Whatever happened to adventure?
And will it come back?

Plowhorse

My horse is strong, he's a trooper for sure
But for advanced old age, there ain't no cure
Some folks would shoot him
I love him like a brother, don't you see?
Though his senses are weakened
and his muscles decayed,
he's got a funky spirit
that just won't fade
He told me "Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse,
one to take my place in the field"
He said "Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
and make it a good harvest this year
So I took him shopping, and I wanted his opinion
With our budget placed unrealistically at a million
But every single time that I made a selection
He'd say he "ain't worthy" to even look in your direction
But when I found one that tickled my fancy
He'd just say "ain't doin' no work, just looks too dance-y"
But Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
Cuz' I won't always be in the field
Yeah Ringo, get yourself a plowhorse
And take in a good harvest this year
I said "that's what I'm doin!"
He told me "Ringo, find yourself a plowhorse"
"One to take my place in the field?
"Ringo, I wanna be your plowhorse! I'll do your dirty work for free!"
"Ringo, let me be your plowhorse! Why don't you ever talk to me?"

Simple Machines
02:47
|

Every night at 11 or so when everyone's safe at home
Those who dare to roam are greeted with something existential
And what a sight it is, when nothing is quite functioning
And all the bells they do ring for problems electrical
I am steel, steel wrapped in a pink trap, I'm here
For your pleasure
Don't wait for me to make my move
My move is pre-determined
But I feel like you want me to
The traffic lights all go out and then the city sleeps so sound
And then all the hounds come out and bay to the moon in response
In response to the glaring lack of man-made light
And from Hogan on to Hammond, no stop is safe from splendor
And everyone surrenders to the void
Wrap your arms around me and see if you can feel my insides
Guess my model number
But I love like the real thing
You are so simple
Such simple machines

Rattle The Chains
03:51

When the tower fell, the wires snapped, weren't fastened well
From the streets rang out no wild cry, no screams of pain
How can they say that we don't believe in anything?
When the truth is loud and clear
But the weight of that long spire up above
Gave em' a new reason and took away their fear
Out of spite someone offered to tear it down, set it alight
And the drones, they laughed and had a smile, they paid the half
Noone winked an eye as a lone star lit up the night
Flightless insects heard the sound
Below lay in the city, under rock and stone
A bountiful feast of cigarettes and coffee grounds
Time rattles the chains
That rusted long ago
All we've done and all that stands
Can't stand alone
Metal hit the grass, no water route, no creatures passed
Just an opening within the woods, didn't hurt a thing
Holes were forming up and down into the wood, each crawl with iron centipedes
When it rolled into a stream yet undiscovered they heard its signal cry out "
what business have you here?"
Time rattles the chains
That rusted long ago
All we've done and all that stands
Can't stand alone

Bugler Down

Y'know they say a lot can change in a war
when you've got a bugler down
And now they tell me that it's time that I go
and find that man
But I don't want to
What has he ever done for me?
