    BetadineBy Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell September 2014

    You came in with the nightBrought me suicide

    No sound

    No breathe

    Just the taste of chrome

    And the should have known

    No breath

    No read

    Aint that just like you to go

    Medicine can heal me soBut betadine you kill me slow

    And I swallow you right down

    Your kind of remedy

    Last thing that I need

    No sound

    No through

    Just the taste of chrome

    And the should have knownNo prayer

    No clue

    Aint that just like you to go

    Medicine can heal me so

    But betadine you kill me slow

    And I swallow you right down

    Us paperhearts sometimes get it wrong

    But the downbeat just goes on

    So dont worry bout meIm used to the bleed

    And all these wounds of mine

    Will probably heal in time

    Without you betadine

    Blue Sky Sweet Midsummer NightmareBy Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell August 2014

    Whats the matter Cinderella

    Such a lovely day today

    Thats why they call it morning

    Just wash the world away

    Walk my coffee to the common

    Watch the children climbing in the trees

    Innocent pretends

    Satisfaction guaranteed

    Its the new social disease

    Somebody wake me up pleaseSomebody shake me from this

    chorus:

    Blue sky sweet midsummer nightmare

    All the limbs are breaking in my

    Blue sky sweet midsummer nightmare

    Its a Stepford kind of be

    Don't know why my golden

    Dream is failing this rides derailing

    So please wake me up wake me up wake me shake me

    Cant be too careful with nature

    Too many arms to immunize

    A new metro city council

    A new block to sterilize

    And make some more room for the strollers

    Forget about a place to park

    Keep the legend lose the buildings

    Build a copy for a larkStrip the poison trees of bark

    Somebody wake me up please

    Somebody keep me from this

    Colorado City (R.Campbell/J.Reilley)

    Yes, I'm your sister and your mother No, he's Father not your brother

    Well, we married one another at the prophet's will

    Oh no, it's not incestial 'cause our union is celestial

    Listen, when you grow a chest I'll let you know the drill

    It's a small, small price to sacrificeTill the prophet come to carry us home

    A tender slice of paradise

    Here in Colorado City, keep sweet my little pretty

    Let daddy pet your kitty till the kingdom come

    To Colorado City, keep sweet my little pretty

    Let daddy pet your kitty till the kingdom come

    We must obey our Uncle Warren He's like Jesus, we adore him

    We all kneel down before him and you shall too

    No, he hasn't been released but he's divined a husband-priest

    For you to love and serve and please until he tires of you

    It's a small, small price to sacrifice

    Till the prophet come to carry us home

    A virgin slice of paradise

    Daughter, on your feet there's someone here for you to meet

    It's come the time for you to greet the man who'll make you his bride

    Don't get your panties in muddle when he says he wants to cuddle

    Don't you give him any trouble or he'll tan your hide

    Don't think twice, now just play nice

    Until the prophet come to carry us home

    It's a small, small price to sacrifice

    Complicated (That I Used To Know)

    By Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell August 2014

    Complicated the working through

    Complicated the ringing trueJust take a look for the diamond in the snow

    Complicated

    That I used to know

    Complicated the never mind

    Complicated the set behind

    They put away the rabbit mister show

    Complicated

    That I used to know

    Working copy

    Or a get well note

    Long as the train is off the track

    Long as the movie's off the reel

    Tell 'em the river's running

    Finest fish in the county

    Finest fish in the county

    Finest fish in the county

    Coming aground

    Won't offer up againIts Complicated

    That I used to know

    Fog Line

    (J.Reilley/R.Campbell)

    Couldn't put a thumb on

    The moment that the bandage came unwound

    Can't keep the bleeding down

    Caught inside a slow burn

    Lick the blistered fingers, damp the rage

    Still can't turn the page

    Salvation rustlers sporting lint might start a man to praying

    But when you'll eat a wedge just for the scent of flesh

    You're barely saying grace

    Keeper track of talk back

    Rolling by the capstans in my head

    A never ending thread

    Every empty promise

    Pending on a riddle never solved

    The missing piece involved

    Dislocated highway

    Twisting like a rat tail in a trap

    Deconstruction detours

    Threaten to eliminate your map

    Beyond the fog line

    The shifting shapes are closer now than near

    And anything but clear

    Frick & Frack (R.Campbell/J.Reilley)

    Drilling down through a graveyard in Western Pennsylvania

    J. H. Pinkerton met a family friend

    H. C. Frick said, Good day, son, it's fine to meet you.

    I once handled a matter with your old kin.

    Mister Frick, I need counsel, I need your advice.

    Uncertainty reigns in the world today.

    Henry Clay Frick brushed the maggots away from his eyes

    The world hasn't changed, son. Do as I say.

    Play the field, pick it clean

    Rule the ground in between

    What is known, what is seen

    What you say and what you meanHail the chief, pack the court

    Bet the house to hold the fort

    Take the pot, leave the rust

    You must do what you must

    Mister Frick, it's perplexing my brain's going numb.

    I'm not grasping what I'm supposed to do.

    Henry Clay Frick peeled a lip back on putrefied gum

    Cheney's due any moment he'd say it, too.

    Play the field, pick it clean

    Rule the ground in between

    What is known, what is seen

    What you say and what you mean

    Hail the chief, pack the court

    Bet the house to hold the fort

    Take the pot, leave the rust

    You must do what you must

    Pick a man, write a check, gain a trust

    Grease a palm when extended

    Let no charge go undefended

    When the shit starts to fly, son

    Deny, deny, deny

    GLASS RING (R.Campbell/J.Reilley)

    Why would you ever take a shine to me

    Lacking in polish, well out of warranty

    I circle round, circle round, circle round where you are

    On a wing, on a hope light upon you

    You were a capture and I was a pawn

    I had to wonder, were you putting me onI tag along, tag along, tag along where you go

    Just to be, just to feel how you move me

    So this me I give to you

    Only you can see me through

    When I'm lost in my reflection

    You point me in the right direction

    Oh love, you wear me well

    I knuckle under and I can't take a hit

    I'll never shape up to your perfect fit

    I'm hanging on, hanging on, hanging on by a string

    Let me go, let me drop and I'll crumble

    So this me I give to you

    Only you can see me through

    Long as we can band together

    We'll survive the rocky weather

    Oh love, you wear me

    Oh my love, you wear me down and out but hell

    I'm still an easy sell

    So this me I give to you

    Only you can see me through

    When I feel about to shatter

    I take your hand and nothing matters

    Oh, love, you wear me well

    Oh my love, you wear me well

    Heather PlaceBy Jim Reilley/Reese Campbell March 2014

    Reverb footsteps unmade beds

    Say its all inside my head

    Now its all over me

    Playing it up the play it down

    Weight to carry it around

    Now its all over me

    chorus:

    Thats how we do it here on Heather Place

    Nothing to do except count the days

    So little something in so many waysIts only me

    The lonely me

    No effort to give a reason why

    No reflect no alibi

    Now its all over me

    I bought the book I did the math

    Never thought itd come to that

    Thats the arrogance of me

    bridge:

    Thats what I get for Iooking up at broken skies

    No remedy no return innocence to tired eyes

    Cyanide summer winter falls

    A place to keep me from it all

    Little BrotherBy Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell August 2-014

    Things that you learn when youre killing yourself

    Aint like you see it in cartoons

    Its more about dodging all the echos

    You hear when youre wired to the moon

    chorus:

    Its a fucked up magic show

    And youll never be the same

    When the phonograph needle that you call your friend

    Glides so casually into your vein

    Oh little brother it aint gonna be easyOh little brother it aint gonna be easy for you

    Bed head roses growing wild these days

    Nobody takes the time to bleed

    Theres a book theres a golden mean to follow

    In the academy of all that you dont need

    bridge:

    And they all give you something to believe in

    Except for the ones who dontAnd well all live happily ever after

    Except for the ones who wont

    Low Hanging FruitBy Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell July 2014

    Broken cadence can you hear me now

    My codeine cough is ever near me now

    What kind of friend would disappear me now

    Just when I was needing

    For the dream to keep believing

    Well played friend

    I never saw it coming

    The hunger how it so consumed me then

    I fell for every trick you threw me then

    You were the only one who knew me thenBrought me up and kept me bleeding

    And like a fool I kept believing anyway.

    chorus:

    You made me everything Im not today

    I must have been a sight to see

    Thinking there was more of me to give

    Something more than just low hanging fruit

    Now all Im left to do is wonder whenIll feel that shiver in my arm again

    Of all the things I took for granted then

    Back when I was only bleeding

    But I just kept on believing anyway.

    bridge:

    Woke up this morning and the music had died

    No radio just the ringing inside

    After all this time like a black eye betray

    I lost the want to that I thought was my saveAint that the way.

    Over MeBy Jim Reilley and Reese Campbell August 2014

    I remember my haywire

    Gonna set the world on fire

    Back when there was something to believe in

    Now its becoming pretty clear

    Everything is broken here

    Guess my only ripe was for deceiving

    Its over

    Its over

    Its over

    Over me

    You give them nothing but the best

    They take your heart and leave the rest

    Youre only temporary while theyre feeding

    So teach your children very well

    Never ask and never tell

    At least theyll never waste their time believing

    I didnt choose this life I have

    It chose me now here I amWith too much to forget and not forgive

    How would it have gone if I

    Never looked up to the sky

    And found a different way to barely live

    They finally killed what made me breathe

    Ran out of tricks kept up my sleeve

    Just to keep the broken record turning

    The Dwelling (R.Campbell/J.Reilley)

    Skeptics of a coming spring naked limbs defend

    Bracing for another go a final blow of winter

    They dug in, firmly planted as the winds raved and ranted

    Rooted deep in the dwelling

    Chickadees of Shangri-la cluster on the lawn

    Optimistic to the end they'll find a friend, beaks yawning

    They're dug in, salvation nearing every black oil seed appearing

    Praise the god of the dwelling

    Don't feel much like god right now hope he don't feel like me

    Looking back on what he's made the bricks he laid, and seeing

    They dug in, caked with mortar by a fool seeking quarter

    In the myth of the dwelling

    If the past is past, then what's it doing here

    In my mind, in my soul

    In a carnival glass bowl you once won for me

    Bring forth a son to thee

    Sitting in a lovely room in a lovely chair

    Skylight shining up above the winter gone, the weather fair

    Dug in, love beside me birds and trees above to guide me

    From my perch in the dwelling
