lyrics

Part 1: The Hammer:
Instrumental

Part 2: Fall into Winter:
Tight rope sags,
over crocodile
tears
Rise up singing,
your muddy boots,
kick the leaves like fireworks.

& I spent a little time alone.

When the weeds reach the sun,
force em down
These rusty nails,
push em underground
Keys shake just like Marley's chains,
close the door,
close the cage

Part 3: Before We Go:
Before we go,
Take a look around the old house.
Before we go, Before we go,
Take a look inside the rooms where mistakes were made, paint was chipped, love mislaid.
Before we go, Before we go,
Take a look inside the closets where suits were kept, and brothers laughed and sisters wept.
Before we go, Before we go,
Take a look at that old tree with its switches peeled, but spirits rise and bruises heal.

I spent a lot of time alone.
I spent a lot of time alone.

I spent a lot of time making foolish trades.
No, let me get it out before memory fades.
I read under the covers till morning light,
while I listened to my parents drink wine and fight.
I overheard my sister get honor plied,
never said a word, just kept mum and cried.
I got down on my knees with a ring and tears,
I'll do it all again in about 10 years.
I held the old man's hand 'till his soul flew free.
Wait, I lied, that wasn't me.

I spent a lot of time alone.
I spent a lot of time alone.

I spent a lot of time playing rock star when you wasn't home.

Before we go, before we go.
Take a look around the old house.

about

5 Cent Coffee Vallejo, California

5 Cent Coffee is a 4 piece post modern jug band full of grit and carnival hokum. We play original songs set in the dusty American tradition of travelling circuses and rail riders down on their luck. With soaring vocals, sometimes two accordions, sometimes two ukuleles, washboard and junk percussion, our sound is big and brash but soft and mournful, and always compelling. ... more
