Geometrix Heard these guys today (7/24/21) at the farmers market, and my 7yo loved them so much I couldn't NOT buy the album and support local music. Good chill stuff.

Every Ghost 13:02
lyrics
buy track
Marriages sprung from junior proms and the devil’s little tricks Out past the burned out Winn-Dixie they ride their Chevy sixes You can’t change the past or carry out your pageant crown When the parade girls have packed it in when their dreams have all left town Every ghost has come here for you and Oh you hear them now You hear them even now You swore to your girl you’d take her to the world Like your father told your mother and Your girl swore to you my friend we’ll make it to the end Our lives will be like no others and Every ghost has come and Oh you hear them now and In their Chevy sixes gonna get their fixes Riding high for just awhile On that rut-filled quarter mile Their girls waving flags they smile They’ll be with you tonight For just awhile For just awhile every ghost has slipped away The sun comes up and stays For just awhile every ghost has slipped away But time finds time to come around Kicks you hard when you’re feeling down Your dreams were ruined in the backseat The kids are coming fast Your dreams are in the past and Your love a ghost you swore you won’t meet You can see it in her eyes You still see it in her eyes This year could be the day You might run away with your love and all your visions Of a different life if you only might Find a way out from under this derision Maybe you are in the crypt Your body has gone it’s slipped You feel the scars of your past thunder and Out past the Winn-Dixie they still gather at night Come together little devil gonna make it seem alright and you know Every ghost come from another Like your father and your mother You are every ghost born to another Every ghost is just another Every ghost is just another

These Lonely Days 03:40
lyrics

If I climbed the mountaintop If I gave a mighty shout Would you call from the valley Or would your voice give out? Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Ah, ah, ah these lonely days I fill my days with my nights Sleep comes easy light does not This emptiness illuminates Alllllllll I haven’t got Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Outside I see the children play They give away all their cares Inside my mind I run away Like a drifter out to seafare If I climbed the mountaintop If I gave a mighty shout Would you call from the valley Or would your voice give out? Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Maybe today life turns around Maybe this world is upside down If I could see things another way Maybe the sunlight shines today Ah, ah, ah these lonely days Ah, ah, ah these lonely days

Come with me and follow me tonight The stars will shine and turn so bright We'll seek fortune of silver and gold So stay with me cuz the night is sold You know no one's ever felt like this How do the moon and stars always miss? The sky above lights the ground below Truth be told, I'm afraid to grow old Truth be told, I'm afraid to grow old Stay with me so our souls are sold Come on baby, let's go for a ride So come with me and follow me tonight Come with me and follow me tonight We'll make our way yeah make it right Cross the desert lands and the prarie grass We'll make our stand till the night is past (Till the night is past) Till the night is past Truth be told, I'm afraid to grow old Stay with me so our souls are sold Come on baby, let's go for a ride So come with me and follow me tonight Truth be told, I'm afraid to grow old Stay with me so our souls are sold Come on baby, let's go for a ride So come with me and follow me tonight So come with me and follow me tonight Yeah come with me and follow me tonight

Call The Doctor 02:40
lyrics

Call the doctor call the Priest Phone a lawyer let’s all meet Down by the railroad Where the tracks don’t meet The coal cars rumble Up on the river banks The lake shore tumbles Like the sound of tanks Let’s sing songs of joy and peace Let’s sing of lies and then retreat Let’s count the stars one by one Then hop a train and take our leave All around us now moonlight shines We’ve found ourselves At the five and dime Like twin moons rising we sing and sing The trains they come and then they leave We tell ourselves it will all work out Then we cower and hide Until the stars fall down so— Let’s sing songs of joy and peace Let’s sing of lies and then retreat Let’s count the stars one by one Then hop a train and take our leave

This World 05:06
lyrics
buy track
When I woke up this morning World was the same Disease spread all around me Salvation never came Turn on the news talking heads Another Groundhog Day out of bed Can't believe what the news man said What the news man said He said the world is dying It's never coming back There's nothing you can do To get the train on its track Lock up your doors Stay out of sight At the end of the day At the end of the night You in your private world Me safe here in mine Time to see the mirror See what you can find At the end of the day At the end of the night Outside see the firelight See the firelight You know the world is dying It's never coming back There's nothing you can do To get the train on its track Lock up your doors Stay out of sight At the end of the day At the end of the night

Railroad Tracks 04:20
lyrics
buy track
There is a railroad coupling Near my old battered farmhouse At night you hear that loss ring Rings from sky to burrowed mouse Railroad tracks lead north and west Which way to go which way seems best Wherever I go wherever I’ve been I will not escape the big book’s sins I Can’t escape these earthly sins The railroad creeks and screams out in the night People coming and going I don’t know where I have known a man who lost his sight When I was six that train horn blared My father boarded and never came back Boarded his new life road those railroad tracks So I keep searching going to make my way out Down at the depot I hear the porter shout Going to buy a ticket cross these red fire prairies Head north to Manitoba or the emerald coast Like a coal miner and his canary I know my seeds are sown my seeds are sown Railroad tracks lead north and west Which way to go which way seems best Wherever I go wherever I’ve been I will not escape the big book’s sins I Can’t escape these earthly sins I Can’t escape these earthly sins

Denver Sun 02:26

These days of lovely Denver sun Where the Rocky Mountain snowcap Is finally on its Spring run Out in the woods run the maple taps Take down the Mustang top Let’s rush let’s have our fun While we can still conceive it Let’s hush and watch the sun While we can believe it Drive up to the mountain tops You in your skin and me in mine Atop Pike’s Peak where the earth still shines One day we will remember One cold day in mid-December We’ll sheer the wind enjoy this life You know alright this life will stop Look at me and you till we see the light You know alright this life will stop Look at me and you till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light You know alright this life will stop Look at me and you till we see the light You know alright this life will stop Look at me and you till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light Till we see the light

County Fair 03:58

Licorice and morning dew drops, summer rain and lollipops The breezy honeysuckle, southern comfort home ramshackle Grandma’s porch white rockin’ chairs Mississippi delta is callin’ me, callin’ me Out past the cypress at the county fair You and me and sister golden hair Day turns to night we didn’t care Out past the cypress at the county fair Cousins playing banjo in the summer breeze Fireflies lighting in the distant trees Farms all tended the tractors out of sight Gather round family singing through the night Out past the cypress at the county fair You and me and sister golden hair Day turns to night we didn’t care Out past the cypress at the county fair We while our lives away family as thick as thieves Making jug-band music singing of love and peace Smile as you sing your songs of grief Dogs at your feet loyal with their sleep All the way through the moonlit night All the way through the moonlit night All the way through the moonlit night

Walk With the Sun 03:15
lyrics
buy track
I want to sing of love I want to sing of romance I want to smell flowers And remember by chance What it is I can’t hear I want to walk out on a wire I want to smell oil fields on fire Where do you go when you walk on by me? How do I find what it is you’ve left me? How do you smile and go on living Why does the sky keep getting darker? I want to shine like the moon in its crescent I want to find harmony and luminescence I want to hear you speaking in tongues I want to remember you were gone all along Where will I go when this loss has left me? Look inside you’ll find you never met me You’ll never know I gave my heart to you When the sky falls dark and night overcomes you I want to shine like the moon in its crescent I want to find harmony and luminescence I want to hear you speaking in tongues I want to remember you were gone all along

You cross the room Like your hair’s on fire You worship the moon Like your heart’s on fire You wear a blue dress Ladies breath in your hair You enter a room Like your God’s caress You speak of love and loss You really just don’t care Speak of love and loss Like you just don’t care You make your way Living on your charms You know baby some days Love falls from your arms And you find yourself Alone in a mirror Your tangled youth your pride It’s all no longer here You speak of love and loss You really just don’t care Speak of love and loss Like you just don’t care

Born Through Fire 02:15
lyrics

There is no tunnel of love Honey, truth is there never was It's just a lonely, broken ride Down by that dark seaside You say you're born through fire I say we'll die alone You say we can get lucky I say you'll never know The only love we've ever known Has broke up and said goodbye Don't look in the rear-view mirror Find love lost in the moonlight You say we're born through fire I say we'll die alone You say we can get lucky I say we'll never know Like a blood-red Lamborghini My love is not a passage So lose your four-ride tickets Punch the gas with all your passion You say we're born through fire I say we'll die alone You say we can get lucky I say we'll never know

The freaks and the beauties All the one-eyed cuties stroll along the avenue The lepers and the cops on routine traffic stops As far as the eye can see And baby there's the sea, there's only you and me There's only you and me A dollar in our pocket A borrowed Kawasaki Two quarters for the meter The jukebox can't be sweeter, spilling out from the parlor And baby there's the sea, there's only you and me There's only you and me Let's take it all in, baby we're gonna win How much more can we lose? And baby there's the sea, there's only you and me There's only you and Baby there's the sea, there's only you and me There's only you and Baby there's the sea, there's only you and me There's only you and

Bet Your Bottom Dollar 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Well you can bet your bottom dollar We can try and make fine wine from water Between the devil and the deep blue sea This life is better than a kick in the teeth They say beware of Greeks bearing gifts They say trojan horses can cause rifts Better the devil that you know Than that old devil that you don't Light a candle then curse the dark They say beware the ides of march The bigger they are the harder they fall Cry havoc and buy something for a song Cry havoc and buy something for a song The dogs bark but the caravan rolls on You don't change horses in midstream Don't trust a lock with more than one key
