S.O.L-S.O.S. 04:05
S.O.L-S.O.S Waitin'...wantin' Down in my old neighborhood I'm hauntin' All the old cantinas and places of worship Back lot cop spots, oh it's nice to see ya Pawnin'...hockin' in my mid-life rockin' You say, "I dunno how ya do it...all of that rejection...can you see your gray hair in your reflection?" Twenty-seven to forty-one that's when most people get it done I was a grasshopper in the sun...livin' life on wheels Now we're here and I must confess I'm S.O.L. you're S.O.S. All tangled up in your party dress lookin' wobbly on those heels.... Waitin'...wantin' Down in my old neighborhood I'm hauntin' All the old cantinas and places of worship Back lot cop spots, oh it's nice to see ya Twenty-seven to forty-one that's when most people get it done I was a grasshopper in the sun...livin' life on wheels Now we're here and I must confess I'm S.O.L. you're S.O.S.

Otto Otto You're an onomatopoeia You're an evil palindrome You mowed down the parking meter Cause you call the world your own You blame everyone for everything The fault is your and yours alone You're an onomatopoeia You're an evil palindrome Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in I spy a little guy, flick him off my shoulder Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in Champion of the universe...step aside me first You're an onomatopoeia You're an evil palindrome You sail the seven seas Like an ancient mariner poem You tell everybody everywhere That they're livin' wrong You're an onomatopoeia You're an evil palindrome Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in I spy a little guy bellying cross the border Spray tan Uncle Sam somethin' to believe in Champion of the universe...step aside me first Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in I spy a little guy, flick him off my shoulder Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in I spot a little guy bellying cross the border Spray tan Uncle Sam somethin' to believe in Saber rattle, herd the cattle, everybody get down Spray tan ampersand somethin' to believe in Champion of the universe...step aside me first Otto Otto... Otto Otto... Otto Otto... Otto Otto....

Off the Stairway Bless this house... And all who come through.... Messin' about in your corner room Bless this mess... Hangin' on the wall Bathroom's on the left as you walk down the hall Thinking into a void staring up at all the stars talking to you All my faith is gone, standing on the lawn wondering what to do About what is you... Or what is true... Or what is is.... Bless your heart... Wherever it is headin' Remembering when.... We pissed off the stairway to heaven......

Haven't Signed the Papers Well, it took a while to find out who you are Wasn't till you took up with that 80's movie star You jumped into his '65 Corvette Still I haven't signed the papers yet... Shrink says I just love the punishment Says I'm always buying shoes from you made out of cement My next wife I'll most surely thoroughly vet Still I haven't signed the papers yet I see now that you're pregnant and moved on Tell me when's the blessed due date of your devil spawn? I'm starting my new life out with a pet Still I haven't signed the papers yet No more drunken dialing with a fifth.... Resentments are like rusty knives we cut ourselves with The time has come to forgive and forget Still I haven't signed 'em... Not sure I can find 'em... I think they are behind some good sense I have to get Still I haven't signed the papers yet...

Born by the side of the road 'Twas the morning of our lives Learned how to speak in code to shroud our monkeyshines You know we never knew better And we never wanted to... Now we've fallen thru.... Raised on "I don't care" Makes life an easy go Dad says, "life's unfair... and it's better that you know that there's no free lunches only heartache and punches that you get used to...." Now we've fallen thru Heaven Forfend Now we've fallen thru.... While you were out, I was in By your drowning I could swim You came up and I was gone and it all went fuckin' wrong... Now we've fallen thru Heaven forfend Now we've fallen thru... Rub my chest with broken glass Just to feel the sting Of each and every gasp When I am born again you know we never knew better And we never wanted to... Now we've fallen thru Heaven forfend Now we've fallen thru....

about

Cut it over a weekend up at Mark Dann studios in Woodstock with minimal overdubbing. The days were: wake up, diner, studio, rock, rinse, repeat....with many laughs in between!
