MOSTLY GHOSTS (2021)
I’M A GHOST, I HAUNT
I'm gonna do what I want
But I'll treat you kind
If you share your house
And you share your mind
Do you hear that sound
Can't slow me down
I'm a ghost, I haunt
I'm gonna do what I want
Hey hey hey
I feel alright
Because the moon is bright
And it's the afterlife
I'm gonna do what I want
I ain't got no rules
You know I'm coming
When the room gets cool
I can do the shiver
I can do the shake
I'm a ghost, I haunt
I'm gonna do what I want
I'm a ghost, I haunt
I'm gonna do what I want

CAME BACK A SNAKE
Came back,
Came back a snake
I died in the saddle
And woke up and heard a rattle
Saw the diamonds shining in my eyes
I was only twenty five
Hellfire in my veins
They say that I hissed when I died
Came back,
Came back a snake
When I was wearing denim'
And a-sipping on my venom
Never thought that I'd be gone so soon
Then at midnight I died, no one cried
Now you find me cold-blooded
In the sun at noon

RED DRESS
Is anybody gonna hold my hand
Is this my house or the promise land
Tell me can you see what you can't understand
But if you feel it
Will you believe it
One light on in the kitchen tonight
Look to your left, look to your right
I'm nothing but a soul staying out of sight
But if you feel it
Will you believe it
Call the doctor call the press
Tell em all you saw me in your little red dress
What am I if not your best guess
But if you feel it
Will you believe it

QUEEN ANNE’S LACE
Down at the bottom of the well
Is a pile of bones you knew so well
Now and then you come around
To remember the feeling you found
Run, I'll follow you down
Wherever you go, like an old bloodhound
Sleep, I'll find you in a dream
I'll whisper softly and then I'll scream
This isn't over til I'm buried in the clover
And it's me at the end of the road
I'm every shadow, I'm every breeze that is cold
Try to remember my face
You'll see me in the weeds
You'll see me in the Queen Anne's Lace

JOE HILL
Way back in the year 1915
I was red, as red as I could be
They were looking for someone
Someone to blame
They knew my songs
They knew my name
In every mill and every mine
What they can't kill goes on to organize
Don't listen to their promises
Don't listen to their lies
Copper bosses shot me down
But I never died
In Salt Lake City in a mining town
Still nobody knows why
Two men were shot down
But as soon as they died
They were digging my grave
The judge didn't like
The preacher and the slave
In every mill and every mine
What they can't kill goes on to organize
Don't listen to their promises
Don't listen to their lies
Copper bosses shot me down
But I never died
Way back in the year 1915
I was red

SHARPER THAN THE THORN
Look for me on the riverbanks baby
(Before the sunrise)
Before the sunrise
(Do you remember how I)
Remember how I used to
Put my feet in the water
See me walk before your very eyes
And every time you think about me
You'll be nearing all the things I could be
Look for me in the rose bed baby
(Pull the petals one by one)
Pull the petals one by one
(What is sharper than the thorn)
Remember the words we sang together
Death is sharper than the thorn
Death is sharper than the thorn

FIND MY WAY BACK
I'll find my way back
That's what she said all dressed in black
I'll find my way back
Evelyn told me before she died
She said I don't care where my body resides
I'll find my way back
Bury my body 'neath the willow tree
Lay me to rest in the deep blue sea
But I'd burn all the sunshine
I'd drown all the rain
Before I'd let myself fade
Away, yeah yeah
I will find my way
Back like a train on the track
I will find my way back
I'll find my way back
That's what she said all dressed in black
I'll find my way back
Dig a hole in the meadow
In the cold cold ground
You can say farewell
When they lay me down
But I'd break the bones of pleasure
I'd honeymoon with pain
Before I'd let myself fade
Away, yeah yeah
I will find my way
Back like a train on the track
I will find my way back
