1.	Don't Take Your Dog to the Park 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Don’t take your dog to the park Cause the park holds a disease Next to the trees, next to the leaves. Don’t take your love out on me Till my feelings have returned, Back to my art, back to my heart Put me in a basket, Tell me not what is going on Show me a magazine That’s cleaner than clean Yeah-ee-yeah (but) Don’t take your dog to the park Cause the park owns a disease Next to the trees, next to the leaves Don’t take your love out on me Till my feelings have returned Back to my art, back to my heart. Put me in a basket, Tell me not what’s going on Show me a magazine That’s cleaner than clean Take me to the answers Show me all the places you love Will I be afraid of the truth Always changing stations When life just gets too big for you and me Take me to the church on time Don’t take your dog to the park… Take me to Alaska Show me all the places you love Will I be afraid of the park Always switching train tracks When life just gets too big for you and me Take me to the church on time.
2.	Dizzy Playground 03:46	lyrics	buy track
Find the King of plastic straws He’s lost In the name of Santa Claus When you’re feeding the dumb, Sucking your thumb. Ali Baba, blah blah blah Magic -marker, -broomstick, -carpet ride If they think they’re fooling you, Just play along, "knock knock...Who’s there?" Into pleasure you’ll fall If you swallow it whole Into heaven you’ll fall If you do what I say Into pleasure you’ll fall If you swallow it whole Aesop’s fables rocks the jukebox pops golden hits coming down from the rooftops Pamphlet boys on world crusade The magician wins the people’s trust We’ll see what it’s worth in a day Into pleasure you’ll fall If you swallow it whole Into heaven you’ll fall If you do what I say Into pleasure you’ll fall If you swallow it whole The one thing you can’t deny It’s strong and long Easter rabbit, Road kill loss High Llamas rodeo The musician speaks, the children trust We’ll see what it’s worth on the… See-saw Going up going downtown The books from the playground Headaches on the See-saw Going up going downtown The books from the playground Headaches on the See-saw If you do what I say, Do what I say See-saw Going up, going downtown The books from the playground Head aches on the see-saw to live by the Sea-saw Going up, going downtown The books from the playground Headaches on the see-saw If you do what I say, ...Do what I say (Yeah!)
3.	Who Pulls You Through? (free) 01:35	lyrics	download
who pulls you through ? through the darkest hour alone through the tall grass in the daylight and who has come to see the iron gate (from afar)? " 'cause I pay my dues and waste my earnings" who now pulls you through? (pulls you through, Lon? ) Pay my dues and waste my (y)earnings [ In memory of Lon D'Uva ]
4.	Mennonite Lady 03:57	lyrics	buy track
(verse 1: the teenage years) Homemade crafts on market square Saved from cameras and cars, cosmetics and bars As the windmill lost its breath Death fell onto her hair And broke her stare But the man detests her ways Who will alter her rooms? And the woman obeys. Who has governed this land, Has woven by hand, Tells you that you can't ? Mennonite Lady, be sure Pack up your bags and close the door Tie loose from the pleasures so few To walk on high heeled shoes (verse 2: move to city) Techno gods on swollen floors Workers rushing through lights through rotating doors Crossing cables overhead Death fell onto her hair ...my kingdom come (?) But a man may take her home Who will plow through the past? And the woman okays. Who has thickened the air, Has coloured your hair, Tells you it’s not fair ? Mennonite Lady, be sure Pack up your bags and close the door Tie loose from the pleasures so new To walk where you once grew (outro: back to roots) Mennonite Lady, beware Gear up for a world that doesn’t care... Mennonite Lady, be sure Pack up your bags and close the door Tie loose from the pleasures you knew To walk on high heeled shoes
