I'm gonna drive my car
Like James Dean
I said, I'm gonna
Drive my car like James Dean
The trees whiz past
It ain't gonna last
Like James Dean

I got my hand on the
Steering wheel
I got my foot on the
Gas pedal
Down to the floor
It won't go no more
Like James Dean

The top's pulled down,
The wind's in my face
My hair's slicked back, It's a lonely race
The trees whiz by
I'm gonna die
Like James Dean

My Grandfather

My grandfather stood six foot three
When I was a boy
I'd look up and hope to one day be
As tall as he

My grandfather was a fisherman
With stories fit to tell
His name was Woods, he had a big family
And he loved us well

My grandfather, he believed in God
He believed in a place
He went to church on every Sunday
His favorite song was Amazing Grace
My grandfather had type-A personality
Near as I can tell, all that meant was
If you were wrong, he would let you know it

My grandfather had the biggest hands
That I've ever seen
Though my hands are small
I'm proud to say his hands help make me

My grandfather
Stood six foot three
My grandfather
He believed in God
My grandfather
He had the biggest hands
That I ever seen
That I ever seen
That I ever seen

My grandfather stood six foot three
Now that I'm a man
I look up and hope to one day be
As tall as he
Maybe one day I will be
As tall as he

Trainstyles

It's cold outside and we all ache
Like the swollen clouds before the rain
In the streams of the night
I can hear her crying
I can hear her calling out
Calling out to me
In the streams of the night
I can't get close enough to her

Falling through the cracks
To the center of our existence
All we need is a helping hand
To save us from the falling sands

Falling through the cracks
To the center of our existence
All we need is a helping hand
To save us from the falling sands

Time is not graceful to our understanding of ourselves
It picks
It pulls
It melts us down
To a shadow of our former selves
The trainyard turnstyles twists the tracks
Back and forth and over again
Until we come out to ourselves
Nothing like we wanted to be

Falling through the cracks
To the center of our existence
All we need is a helping hand
To save us from the falling sands

Falling through the cracks
To the center of our existence
All we need is a helping hand
To save us from the falling sands

It's cold outside and we all ache
Like the swollen clouds before the rain
In the streams of the night
I can hear her crying
I can hear her calling out
Calling out to me
In the streams of the night
I can't get close enough to her

Emerald Lady Alien

I met a lady alien the other night
And everyone was wrong about what it'd be like
I took her around to all the best spots
Showed her downtown and the coffee shops
We walked in the woods
We pet my neighbor's dog
And then we had him for lunch

She was tall and supple and green
Her skin had an emerald and toady sheen
I had to loan her my sister's clothes
It was eighty-five degrees, but she nearly froze
We talked all morning and
We met my best friend
And then we had him for lunch

It was late at night when she first came
Her ship was gleaming in the midnight rain
I thought I'd be kidnapped killed or maimed
Poked and probed with no end to the strain
But everyone was wrong about what it'd be like
An emerald lady alien
There's nothing like

Well, I met a lady alien the other night
And everyone was wrong about what it'd be like
I took her around to all the best spots
Showed her downtown and the coffee shops
We walked in the woods
We met my best friend
And then we had him for lunch
And then we had him for lunch
And then we had him for lunch
And then we had him for lunch

Neutrino of Love

Dylan Casey: guitar and vocals
[download MP3]

I go undetected
In all my interactions
I cannot be seen
From any point of view
You won't know if I'm here
Except when I'm gone
I'm the neutrino of love
And I'm coming over you

You cannot keep me in a cage
No matter how thick the walls
I will escape
You cannot hold me in a box
Cannot bind me with a lock
Cannot keep me anyway
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm the neutrino
Neutrino of love
I'm the neutrino
Neutrino of love

I go undetected
In all my interactions
I cannot be seen
From any point of view
You won't know if I'm here
Except when I'm gone
I'm the neutrino of love
And I'm coming over you

I'm the neutrino baby
Neutrino of love

Cannot inhibit my infiltration
Neutrino

Cannot prevent my penetration
Neutrino

I am the neutrino

Driving Dreams

Dylan Casey: guitar and vocals
[download MP3]

In my dream, I'm laid back
My skin's pressed up against the glass
In the small of my back
I can feel the velvet hum

From a cold stop
Up to first
Down to second
Hear the engine whine
I can taste the wind
I can feel the thirst

I open my arms up to the sky
The wind in my face
The rain burns my eyes
I can feel it slip
I can
Hear it go

When I awake
My palms are sweat
My lips the crave sweet kisses
She rolls to me
She rolls to me
And in the small of my back
I can taste the velvet hum

Splatter soaked road
Rises and turns
Falling, sliding
Burns and yurns
I can feel it slip
And I
I can hear it go

When I Was Away

Dylan Casey: guitar and vocals
[download MP3]

When I was away
I thought of you everyday
I dreamed of you everynight, in my arms
When I was away

When I was away
I called you on the telephone
Just to say "I love you"
You said "I love you, too"

But when I was away
You didn't mention a single thing
About your newfound friend
You didn't whisper a single word
About the wretched things
You were gonna do to me
When I was away

When I was away and called you on the telephone
You were standing next to him
Whispering in his ear
About the fool I'd been

When I was away, thinking of you everynight
You were laying next to him
Embracing him in our bed
What I a fool I've beeen

When I was away
You didn't mention a single thing
About your newfound friend
You didn't whisper a single word
About the wretched things
You were gonna do to me
When I was away

Socrates Dancing

Dylan Casey: guitar and vocals
[download MP3]

I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die
I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die

The sun was high, the sky was bright
The fearful tears were nowhere in sight
The very first song of his seventy-odd years
Was composed on his very last day

I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die
I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die

Some people cried of the injustice
They were bellowing in their pain
Some people cried oh so hard
They were trying to hide a smile that stained

We tried to get him out
Prepared a safe haven
We did scream and we did shout
But he only heard the calls of the raven

I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die
I saw Socrates dancing
On the day he was about to die

The sun was high, the sky was bright
The fearful tears were nowhere in sight
The very first song of his seventy-odd years
Was composed on his very last day

Love is Coming

Dylan Casey: vocals
[download MP3]

Love is coming
It kisses like rain
Love is coming
Won't you rain down on me

Love is coming
It trickles through my eyes
Love is coming
Won't you rain down on me

Kisses like rain
Trickles through my eyes
The clouds are forming in the sky
Won't you rain down on me

Wash my fears
Clean my heart
Make me want to cry
Wash my fears
Clean my heart
Make me want to cry

Squirrels

Squirrels
I love squirrels

I love 'em when they're red
I love 'em when they're white
I love 'em when they're grey
I love 'em in the night

I love squirrels
I love squirrels

Squirrels are cool, squirrels and cool
I love 'em in the sky
I love 'em in the night

Squirrels
I love squirrels

I love 'em in the night
Cause they're really bright
I love 'em when the run
Cause they're having lots of fun

I love squirrels
I love squirrels
