you'd better watch your back in tennessee they'll let your house burn to the ground if you ain't paid the fee walk straight through the streets of tuscon the line is mighty fine have your papers, pockets full show me yours and i'll show you mine all you sinners on the take all you sinners in the stands, clap hands your angry god's got one more song to sing take down your false assumptions throw away your do-good rush the boom and bust you vote for will crumble into dust all you sinners on the take all you sinners in the stands, clap hands your angry god's got one more song to sing

Lately the weight of the matter's been slumping my shoulders I wake in the morning and pray that the day it ain't colder But you, never peeked out No you, write your poems, in doubt I thought if I told you my worries, you'd help me console them And I thought if I stared at my hands long enough you would hold them But you, never reached out No you, never reached out No you, never reached out No you, never reached out

Pilgrims 03:53
When you pass all them pilgrims on the way to San Antone Feel the wind on your skin and the bend in your bone Don't pay twice for silver stay away from their gold Don't think twice for sabbath, say grace and go home Proceed to the trumpet Take head of its tone Let the tear on your cheek Blaze a path of its own Remember the verses, sing em all in a row When you pass all them pilgrims on the planes of oaklahom Say blessings for passage, safe paths should they roam Say blessings for baggage for it’s all overthrown In the ground we feed all of them seeds that we’ve sewn Ovoid talk of missions, be mindful of tone be able to ditch all them things that you own remember the verses, sing em all in a row When you Pass all them pilgrims and you're feeling all alone Remember that water can soften a stone the cracks that you slipped through, and the loves that you've known in the ground we feed all of them seeds that we've sewn

Watchdogs 07:13
I watch you walk away I ask you would you stay You said, No But I gotta slow down." Said I'm gonna fly away Said I'm gonna stay up late Don't you know., don't you know? All Around I see the watchdogs out I watch you go I watch you stay I want to go Away But i gotta slow down Oh i gotta slow down All around I see the watchdogs out All around I see the watchdogs out

about

The New Thoreaus San Francisco, California

"The New Thoreaus are one of the few bands that can appeal to a crowd full of traditionalists AND folks who like a little something different. Think Tom Waits meets NOLA's Preservation Hall Jazz Band."--Mike Bond, The Bottleneck Cafe Radio Show
