lyrics
I got a heart full of crumpled paper
thoughts with slipknots that stretch to succeed
well I'm buried in a crowd of sliding poker faces
and I'm striving for consistency
well i heard the train whistle blow with church bells ringing
and I knew somebody else was putting thoughts in my head
we hang around this town like cobwebs
dusting off conversation and compliments
Jesus I need you now
settle down like shower on a small town
It seems I'm asking all the favors
like could you wrap my heart up before it spills
well it's getting too close down to the wire
if you don't grab me now, my demons will
and he's got legions in ruby red and combat boots
and they try to pick me off with the small of their backs
and there's cosmetic armies popping up like thistles
their sharp with tongues, but soft as grass
heaven's going to have that 6am morning sky
and everything's going to be beginning again
i might even be wearing a sweater
away from humid bodies
and satan's smile
So go easy on my eyes I'm not from around
I can't bare to jeopardize my chance to return there
Go easy please

I've been listening to this record for over 30 years (!) It still holds up as one of the best pure pop records that you've probably never heard. A gem, to be sure. Tom Jessen
I'm including this just because it was the first thing I ever heard Dan make and I think it's necessary to start here. Quirky, honest, sometimes goofy and funny, but always heartfelt. Tom Jessen
