You’re a trillion miles away And I gotta get back to you If I don’t get home soon You might think I’ve gone astray Made a wrong turn at the Sun And I miss your Milky Way If I don’t get home soon It won’t be any fun I’m on a rocket ship to you I got to get past the stars Got no time to hang in bars Up there, up there Up there in the starshine You swim, you swim You swim in the moonshine I’m on a rocket ship to you I got to get past the stars Got no time to hang in bars You’re a trillion miles away And I gotta get back to you If I don’t get home soon You might think I’ve gone astray Made a wrong turn at the Sun And I miss your Milky Way If I don’t get home soon It won’t be any fun I’m on a rocket ship to you I got to get past the stars Got no time to hang in bars -- A Rocket Ship to You features Gil Leigh on lead guitar

A Donkey 02:32
Once upon a time A long time ago I went around With a banjo Over the hills And through the woods I kept my time By beating bongos When I was a boy I had a donkey It was so funky And I rode it to town When I was a boy I had a monkey It was no junkie And it wore a gold crown The last time I went to Fargo Where the wind blows No one can know All the day And all the night The wind did howl But no way, I’d throw in the towel Once upon a time A long time ago I went around With a banjo Over the hills And through the woods I kept my time By beating bongos When I was a boy I had a donkey It was so funky And I rode it to town When I was a boy I had a monkey It was no junkie I had no reason to frown When I was a boy I was no flunky I was so punky And I search for a noun When I was a boy I was a monkey I was a donkey With a plastic crown -- A Donkey features Wes Tabayoyong on lead guitar

There was a house in New Orleans They served red beans and gasoline People came from miles around To hear Chuck Berry when the sun go down From a log cabin Dressed in home spun Strumming in the shade To the rhythm that they made You will be a man Lead a big old band We’re all in the house Of the Rising Sun He carried his guitar in a gunny sack He sat beside that railroad track His mom, she was a tailor And his pop, he was a whaler Deep down in Louisiana In a double wide trailer From a log cabin Dressed in home spun Strumming in the shade To the rhythm that they made You will be a man Lead a big old band We’re all in the house Of the Rising Sun The last two things a gambler needs An old boot lace and a pile of beads He never learned to read or write so good But he could play guitar on a piece of wood From a log cabin Dressed in home spun Strumming in the shade To the rhythm that they made You will be a man Lead a big old band We’re all in the house Of the Rising Sun -- Red Beans and Gasoline features Ken Moss on lead guitar and Kim Reynolds on piano

When Rip Van Winkle closed his eyes The year was 1985 Now he don’t know New York City no more Rip woke up starvin’ So, he walked to the Kiev No more kasha varnishkes The East Village is dead When Rip Van Winkle went to sleep Times Square was all pervs and creeps Now he don’t know New York City no more He went CBGBs To see a show Then when he got there Rip fell like a domino No Downtown Beirut For a shot of Scotch What’s up with City Hall? You’re not Ed Kotch Over to Bleecker Bob’s To get some new records But now it’s a sushi joint Squeezed out by landlords When Rip Van Winkle went to bed Paul Castellano wasn’t full of lead Now Rip don’t know New York City no more No point in goin’ to Jersey Or over to Brooklyn ‘Cuz everything Rip remembers It’s all in the dust bin When Rip Van Winkle closed his eyes The year was 1985 Now he don’t know New York City What they done to the place Is oh so shitty Now we don’t know New York City no more More More More -- Rip Van Winkle '85 features Joey Cola on lead guitar

You walk down the road Under a top-heavy load You grope your way in the dark Bit by a dog, or by a shark? An ink blue smoke Comes on the rise Gets in your eyes And your throat And you choke You make your way Funhouse mirrors A Groundhog Day You’re lost in a mist The funny thing is You think it’s a kiss An ink blue smoke Comes on the rise Gets in my eyes And my throat And I choke An ink blue smoke Comes on the rise Gets in your eyes And your throat And you choke Ya think you can find north Your compass needle It swings back and forth You still keep marching on You don’t know it’s night You think it’s the dawn Ink blue smoke It makes you choke Gets in your eyes Gets in your throat An ink blue smoke It makes me choke Gets in my eyes Gets in my throat An ink blue smoke It makes you choke Gets in your eyes Gets in your throat An ink blue smoke It makes me choke Gets in my eyes Gets in my throat -- Ink Blue Smoke features Greg Strzempka on lead guitar and organ

I know You know They know It’s all over town You lied I cried Our love died And I’m feelin’ down Why did you stray? And go and break my heart? Easy as child’s play You left me in the dark I know You know They know It’s all over town You lied I cried Our love died And I’m feelin’ down I thought our love Was stronger than steel And light as a dove But I’m broken on the wheel I know You know They know It’s all over town You lied I cried Our love died And I’m feelin’ down Now it’s time to pick myself up I’m gonna dust myself off Hey, I’m ready to start again To move on out and feel no pain You know I know They know It’s all over town I’m back I’m on track Got the knack On the rebound You know I know They know It’s all over town I’m back I’m on track Got the knack On the rebound Out on the town Already gone Goodbye -- All Over Town features Martha Hull on co-lead vocals and Razzle Markel on lead guitar

A pot left out on the stove It got burned You done it many times before You don’t learn Your goldfish swam around In its bowl It only needs food once a day You’ve been told Hey, man With the snow-white tan Got no drive Barely alive Hey, dude With the attitude Got that inward stare You don’t care The heat’s turned off And it’s cold The last two slices of bread Full of mold There’s a knock knock knock At your door And you know exactly what What it’s for Hey, man With the snow-white tan Got no drive Barely alive Hey, dude With the attitude Got that inward stare You don’t care Your girlfriend cries alone In the dark As you sit and nod off In the park Your Greyhound bus Leaves at six But all you care about Is your fix Hey, man With the snow-white tan Got no drive Barely alive Hey, dude With the attitude Got that inward stare You don’t care -- Two Slices of Bread features Sal Baglio on lead guitar and piano

I’m on a rocket ship Heading my way back home Last time, a last trip Nevermore will I roam I’ve seen stars explode And intelligent life near and far Out on the outer space road That’s where I play guitar I’m on a rocket ship Heading my way back home Last time, a last trip Nevermore will I roam It’s lonely driving a space craft And I miss your face and tender charms Someday soon we’ll laugh And I’ll be back in your arms I’m on a rocket ship Where the sky is black I’m on a rocket ship Direction, home, on track I’m on a rocket ship Heading my way back home Last time, a last trip Nevermore will I roam I’m on a rocket ship Heading my way back home Last time, a last trip Nevermore will I roam -- I'm On a Rocket Ship (Heading My Way Back Home) features Glenn Kowalski on lead guitar and Doug Wieselman on saxophones
