LYRICS
Backseat bruised and broken
I'm just a subway token
In a Babylon Dodge
In a Babylon Dodge
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks
The night breeze was Hispanic
Police started a panic
In a Babylon Dodge
In a Babylon Dodge
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks
They sent another savior
Born, blessed and crucified
In a Babylon Dodge
In a Babylon Dodge
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks
Mmmm
Babylon Dodge, Babylon Dodge, Babylon
Babylon Dodge, Babylon Dodge, Babylon
Babylon Dodge, Babylon Dodge, Babylon
Babylon Dodge, Babylon Dodge, Babylon
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks
The kids hit the locks
My love's on blocks

Keep Walking

LYRICS
Sometimes you lose so much now
Maybe everything you own
And everyone needs a crutch sometimes
When your spirit's down to skin and bone
There's houses made out of straw now
There's houses made out of sticks
You could live in a house of stone
But you still gotta move to get your kicks
Don't turn back 'round x 8
Just keep walking x 4
I see things like riots of wings
Blowing stings in my eyes if I hold still
It just gets colder as you get older
You got to move to stay alive to shake the chill
What can you do here and still be true here
When all the news you get is just headline blues?
Stick your chin in the wind and don't give in
Oh the breeze is just a booze
And the distance is my shoes
Don't turn back 'round x 8
Just keep walking x 4
Just like a locket always in your pocket
Like a navy boy that's setting out to sail
Go on and test it 'til you get arrested
You know your mother blessed it and she's got your bail
Just like a blind man just take your dime and
Jack-knife your way into the street
Kiss all your friends be they thick or thin
You might've been licked by the lion but you ain't dead meat
Don't turn back 'round x 8
Just keep walking x 4

LYRICS
Buying soda pop and the cop called stop
Saying someone's gone crazy with a gun
Sister told the brother and the
Brother told the mother and the
Mother dialed 911
Well is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
They circled all around it and they had it all surrounded
But they stopped before they took it through the door
Because nobody was certain was he peeking through the curtain
Or just lying in a puddle on the floor
Well is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
The helicopter hovered and they found a former lover
And they televised the magazines that put him on the cover
They argued every angle and they shouted at each other
But if he was alive or not they never did discover
Everybody had a guess but nobody was certain
Was he lying in a puddle was he peeking through the curtain
Was he trying to be Pacino or already Richard Burton?
All the satellites were buzzing when they interviewed his cousin
They said "you know him what you think he's gonna do"?
And all the nannies in Japan wipe their aprons on their hands
And tune in for the latest on the news
Is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?
Is he dead or is he steady?

Busy Being Drowned
04:14
|

LYRICS
I was letting go a building
When somehow the water caught me
Found something I never learned
In everything they taught me
It's quiet and I'm going down
And I don't feel like fighting
The water feels cold inside
I think I could get to like it
Can't stop to talk right now
I'm busy being drowned
Went to the riverside
And laid my burden down
Can't stop to talk right now
I'm busy being drowned
Went to the riverside
And laid my burden down
All my favorite records
Sound better 'neath the surface
Maybe they were made that way
Maybe that's their purpose
Make friends with anemones
Salve my wounds with ocean
It might not be the answer
But I'm working on a notion
Forever green forever blue
I'm falling through the water
Forgetting things I thought I knew
Some say I'm departed
Buy replacement mannequins
Get your dog a manicure
Maybe you could join me then
Unborn again just as you were
Can't stop to talk right now
I'm busy being drowned
Went to the riverside
And laid my burden down
Can't talk to you right now
I'm busy being drowned
Went to the riverside
And laid my burden down
Don't let the water out
i'm busy being drowned
Don't let the water out
And laid my burden down

You Used To Fall In Love

LYRICS
You used to fall in love
Why don't you any more?
Are you tired of the stuff?
Are you tired of keeping score?
Did it take you for a fool?
Did it make you out a liar?
Did your tears put out the flame
Of it's midnight fire?
You used to fall in love
But it's been a while
Did it get too rough
Or did it just go out of style?
Did it take you for a ride?
Abandon you out west?
Did it leave you high and dry?
Refuse your last request?
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love
Are you tired of the hurt
Are you tired of the sorrow it brings?
Are you tired of the song
This lonesome cupid sings?
You used to fall in love
But you always got it wrong
Now is it someone else's story?
Is it someone else's song?
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love
You used to fall in love

LYRICS
Oh big city do you love me
even though I forgot your name?
Oh big city do you love me
even though I forgot your name?
It's a crime nobody feeds you
It's a crime you all look the same
Black dog hear you barking
Are you mad at all you see?
Black dog hear you barking
Are you mad at all you see?
Or is it just a song you're singing
To the blue dog inside me?
Girl when you kiss me
I get a shake down in my knees
Girl when you kiss me
I get a shake down in my knees
Bullets come in sixes
Your loving comes in twos and threes
Red boots mean I love you
A white crown means you make me smile
Red boots mean I love you
A white crown means you make me smile
Brave giver baby
Everyone's a stranger after a while
Seems like everyone's a spider
Just a human in disguise
Seems like everyone you meet's a spider
Just a human in disguise
Seems like everyone's a beggar
When you look into their eyes

The Blues Is Easy

LYRICS
The blues is easy
My baby's lazy
Just like the big moon
She's driving me crazy
Oh loves such a mystery
Yeah all throughout history
It's just a dream come true
The blues is easy
Drives like a chevy
Howls on the highway
It cries when you let it
Oh living's so scary
Dying's so daring
But what can you do
Stand up and salute
Bow and pay tribute
If you got a story
Then this you can add to it
One sure thing about it
You don't have to doubt it
The blues is easy
Oh little darling
There's heaven above you
Until you can make it
Won't somebody love you
How long you been looking
How often mistooken
Oh say its not true
The blues is easy
So come and get it
As one of the hunted
Know that you won't regret it
That old paranoia
It's gonna destroy ya
But what can you do
The blues is easy
So take back your empties
Throw out your junk mail
Hang your heart on a nail
Oh loves such a mystery
Yeah all throughout history
It's just a dream come true
It ain't nothing new
The blues is easy
The blues is easy

Cannonball Blues

LYRICS
I aint no high roller
I stay close to the ground
You know I hate to lose
But something always brings me down
What can I do?
I got the cannonball blues
Dammit down in my shoes
I got the cannonball blues
Life's strange under tables
Behind halloween faces
It's hard to fight God's will
You know I get desperate
Sometimes it's so wicked
I find my knees when it lets me
Let the kids all go to school
Oh man it just hits me so heavy
What can I do?
I got the cannonball blues
Right down to my shoes
I got the cannonball blues
I need a dream or a drug or a lover
I need a prayer to say over and over
You can go through my books
You can talk to my mother
It aint nothing new
What's to say?
What can I do?
I got the cannonball blues
Right down to my shoes
I got the cannonball blues
It aint nothing I done

Are you proud how loud you play?
Are you loud how proud you play?
Are you proud how loud you play?
Are you loud how proud you play?
Yeah
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Are you proud how loud you play?
Did your mother tell you lies?
Did your father simply sigh?
Did you mother tell you lies?
Did some other raise you wise?
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Are you proud how loud you play?
Your heart's a preacher, your eyes no liar
The night's a creature all the boys admire
In stolen clothes you do them better
If that's a lie then I'm a leopard
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Midnight devotee
Are you proud how loud you play?

Biker Priests Detroit, Michigan
Biker Priests is a band, a money-laundering scheme, a grift, a prayer blanket, an audio liquidation, a necessary evil, a last will-and-testament, a fever dream, an insult, a skunk beer, a dandelion, a moment in time. It’s a side project of my main musical project Jawbone. It begins as a collection of 4-track cassette demos that I had recorded pre-Jawbone. The future is unwritten. ... more
