Little Teamsters

Load me in with little teamsters
I'll be alright
Lay my head on a bed of poppies
In yellow light
Say a prayer for all my problems
For mother’s sake
Play a song by a Texas sovereign
With feet of clay
I'll be the last to know
Out with the undertow
Just let me slide
Over the side
You'll be the one I wait for
Unmarried bride
You'll be the one I look for
And if you see the band
The undertaker can drive the van

Long Face

Long face the highways cold and it's
Okay tonight you're coming home home home
Long face for all the good it brings
Hold tight to all those little things gone gone
Long face she's holding on
Load up those cases amps and sinners
Don't stop for broken hearted figures
Go home alone
Long face you're taken back and it's
Too late for crossing bridges burned burned burned
Long face you're wavering
Long face you're coming back around
Always. You're coming home and she's gone gone

Did you Fall Down?
03:01
|

All framed inside your mind
The panoramic scenes you left behind
Did they shoot you
Well it’s alright
Maybe you can recompose
Did you fall down
Well it’s alright
Maybe you can get up close
You say you’ll take ‘em all in May
Then winter settles in like a stray
All framed inside your head
The shot you got, but left for dead

Time On Their Side

They got a little lift
It’s not over
She got a little gift
When he got sober
They got time on their side
She got a tiny out
He starts to wobble
He let the Devil out
Of that bottle
They found a little rift
One October
She got a little gift
When he went over
She got time on her side
He left time on her side
He let the Devil out, of that bottle

Wrecking
02:59
|

|
Over and over and over again I am wrecking
I’ll fall down again before I crawl
Lord let me sleep
But don’t let me dream
Oh this wreck could be the one
Over and over and over again I am wrecking
And I’ll fall down again
Before they crawl over me
Crawl over me

From a friends ex-wife in Austin to a 4-year-old waitress in Lucas, KS to a transvestite railroad worker in Duluth, MN; Velghe populates his songs with real characters who’ve informed personal allegories about escape, transformation and fear. ... more
