Dynamite Annie

We put dynamite around a sycamore tree
When we were done there was a field to plow
When we were done there were mouths to feed
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
In summer we’d watch those sunflowers
Bend their long necks into the sun
Watch their yellow heads grow into towers
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
When the flowers grew up we’d cut their necks to the ground
Put 'em in water by the side of the road
Sell 'em to cars from outta town
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O
Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie, Dynamite Annie-O

The Big House
03:33

I slept and I prayed in the pews
There were meals in the basement, a new pair of shoes
And I put diamond rings on a woman or two
Well, the sign always said “Please Come In”
They tore down the church and built a big house
A big house made of steel and glass
And the big house reflects all the people that pass
Where the sign always said “Please Come In”
We baptized the boys and the girls
Danced under the alter in cigar smoke swirls
Went home with my neighbor, woke up in her curls
Well, the sign always said “Please Come In”
They tore down the church and built a big house
A big house made of steel and glass
And the big house reflects all the people that pass
Where the sign always said “Please Come In”
On a two burner stove you wouldn’t believe
All of the mouths this church could feed
And even the birds had a home in the eaves
Well, the sign always said “Please Come In”
They tore down the church and built a big house
A big house made of steel and glass
And the big house reflects all the people that pass
Where the sign always said “Please Come In”

A Little Each Day
03:25

There were four farms
Here in Queens County
Off of the boulevards
Jerseys and Guernseys
Milked in the sun
Dotting the floodplain yards
The water it rises
Rises with the moon tide
It rises a little each day
The water it rises
Over the houses
It rises a little each day
We fished on the bay
With a rope and a hook
And ate what grew in the sand
The sage and lambsquarters
That grew on the borders
Of bricks and the sidewalks end
The water it rises
Rises with the moon tide
It rises a little each day
The water it rises
Over the houses
It rises a little each day

I Asked the River
03:41

I asked the river “Why do you run?”
The river it did not say
Then my echo collapsed and the river it lapped
And the frogs and waterbugs played
What does a river do, it runs
The river it runs away
And the river you see
Is not the river you saw
It's a new river everyday
I asked the river “Why do you run?”
My question still waits on the banks
So I picked up a bottle there in the brush
'Cause that’s where the fauns gotta lay
What does a river do, it runs
The river it runs away
And the river you see
Is not the river you saw
It's a new river everyday
I asked the river “Why do you run?”
My voice got lost in the sky
Then it fell back down, took root in the ground
And the river gave it life
What does a river do, it runs
The river it runs away
And the river you see
Is not the river you saw
It's a new river everyday
