Somebody said She’s biologically blue No matter how long you wait She’ll never work it through But, I don’t care what they say They can call me crazy too I’ve fallen deep in love with A girl biologically blue Nobody knows The way that she feels But everybody talks about her Over their Sunday meals She had a heart of gold Not a heart of steel And when heart was broken once It never healed And how I love her so I know she tries to let me know she knows But only Her sadness shows I know she’ll love again I just can’t say how soon Maybe when the morning breaks Maybe by the next full moon So go ahead Roll your eyes I’m not like the rest of you I’ve got faith in the girl You call biologically blue And how I love her so I know she tries to let me know she knows But only her sadness shows I know she’ll love again I just can’t say how soon You say there’s something off In her brain I say it’s just a very bad mood So go ahead Roll your eyes I’ve fallen deep in love with a girl Biologically blue I’ve fallen deep in love with a girl Biologically blue Words & music Greg Trooper

I am the Cannon king, behold! I perish on a throne of gold. With forest far and turret high, renowned and rajah-rich am I. My father was and his before, With wealth we owe to war on war; But let no potentate be proud There are no pockets in a shroud. By nature I am mild and kind, To gentleness and truth inclined; And though the pheasants over-run My woods, I will not touch a gun. Yet while each monster that I forge Thunders destruction from its gorge. Death's whisper is, I vow, more loud There are no pockets in a shroud. My time is short, my ships at sea Already seem like ghosts to me My millions mock me, I am poor As any beggar at my door. My vast dominion I resign, Six feet of earth to claim as mine, Brooding with shoulders bid bitter-bowed There are no pockets in a shroud. Dear God, let me purge pure my heart, And be of Heaven's hope a part! Flinging my fortune's foul increase To fight for pity, love and peace. Oh that I could with healing fare, And pledged to poverty and prayer Cry high above the cringing crowd "Ye fools! Be not by Mammon cowed There are no pockets in a shroud."

Poison Tree 02:38
The steam above the water rises through the air. All I wants to touch it; feel it on my skin. Follow in it's motion; travel where it's been I'm a little man in a little town. It's a little cold; I'm a little down. I get a little angry a little bit each day. A little while longer we'll dig a little grave . The stitches of my pocket fray upon the seam. My truest secrets spilled over my heart beat. A frail little drop of the poison tree. I'm a little man in a little town. It's a little cold and I'm a little down. I get a little angry a little bit each day. A little while longer we'll dig a little grave.
