LYRICS:

When the darkness surrounds you

And the light is all but out

There's still a fire deep inside you

That will find the nearest route

It starts as a whisper

You feel a rumbling, an itching at your soul

You can't hold it any longer

As the urge keeps growing stronger

And then you know

You gotta go when you gotta go

Close your eyes, give it a shove

Go! You gotta go

It's time to let go of your love

The time we had together

Was all that I had left

Go, go, go!

'Til you can't go anymore

Wait, I might just make it

I found my second wind

The pain's not bad I can take it

I think I can hold it in

Help me to my feet

You will have to carry me

No! Put me down

My limbs are growing weak

Is this the end I see?

Oops, I guess there's more

I saw a porcelain door

But there's one last thing to say

So come real close

You gotta go when you gotta go

It's time to get the hell out of here

Go! Get, get, get go!

I don't want a single tear

I'll always be inside you

Even when I'm all dried up

Go, go, go!

'Til you can't... anymore...

Caulk The Wagon

LYRICS:

We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
Until the day we die

But I don't want to die!
That's why:

We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
We gotta caulk your wagon, Mouthface
Until the day we die

Yeah, and how we supposed to do that?
Well, do you see that ox?
Ahuh
He's an ox of course
Yep.
And he took us down the trail
But his time is up, 'cause he won't help us
Unless he grows a sail

His time is up, unless he grows a sail
His time is up - he didn't grow a sail

So we'll chop him up, remove his guts
And grind up all his hooves
Then we'll mix it up into a pulp 
And spread it on like glue

We'll chop him up and make him into glue
You'll caulk this up, this ox has died for you

(...)

Now spread the caulk on thick
To seal out the water
Now blow on it real quick

It has a real strange odour
Why did we leave home in the first place?
I'm springin' leaks all over my face

A higher power steers me true
Now let me do the same for you
I see this trip has taken its toll
Now let me fill your holes

He's gonna caulk your wagon, Mouthface
He's gonna caulk your wagon, Mouthface
He's gonna caulk your wagon, Mouthface
Until the day you die

 Now that's how you caulk a wagon!

(...)

Until the day we die...
(Caulk the wagon)
(Caulk the wagon)
(Caulk the wagon)

Speedrun

Speedrun

LYRICS:

She went off like a bolt of lightning

Mad as hell and the pace was frightening

Every stop on the trail was left for dead

The legend around her spread

Like a weed in a flower bed

Her mission was clear straight ahead

She tempted fate to the limit

Pushing all of us hard through the night

If the weather so much as shifted

She scared it off with a knife

She went on a run, speedrun

(Run, speedrun)

To save the future

The woman I love had fire in her eyes

She went on a run, speedrun

(Run, speedrun)

To save her daughter now

The woman I love's come back to life

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

(Speedrun!)

Nothing that needs exploring

(Speedrun!)

That part of the game is boring

Hold onto your butts and let me drive

(Speedrun!)

Time to reduce our rations

(Speedrun!)

Rational is out of fashion

The queen bee is back to claim her hive

I know all of the shortcuts

Using my motherly sense

If I have the minds of the devil

Then speed's our only defense

(...)

Ah... run, speedrun

To the future

Fanning the flames of the demon inside

It's time to run, speedrun

To save our daughter now

Cause the slower you play the faster you die

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Nothing can stop us now

Oh, nothing can take us down

Who needs to stop and piss

When you're in the lead?

Can't stop us now

Oh, nothing can break us down

Who knew that all this time

We had what we need?

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster... oh...

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster... oh...

Oh, they call it a speedrun!

(Speedrun!)

Oh, they call it a speedrun

It's the story of one motherfucking family!

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

LYRICS:

At first I was a moron

I stood a little to tall

I didn't know

I was close to losing it all

I burned our farm down

By my own hand

If God did it he's a sneaky man

But now it's time

I take control of his plan

When the world's at stake

There are lives to save

In every step I take

And every rule I break

I'm one step closer to my family

I can feel it in my bones

Lord have mercy on my soul

As I take back what's all my own

(...)

When the world's at stake

And there are lives to save

And yes, I'm one big fake

But please cut me a break

'Cause AAAAH...!

 Nope!

(...)

When my world's at stake...

LYRICS:

Thrown in back like a burlap sack

And lord does my butt hurt

I guess it's been days or week or months

Or something worse

Everything looks the same

When you're starin at nothing but dirt

And all I hear are the wheels bucklin

Large men yelling, sounds like pouting

I really miss a more familiar sound, Mom

Cause I am lost without you

It's been a long, long time

Every time I look around me

I pray you're at my side

On the trail

Kept a journal of all the spots we passed

Just for you Dad

The Big Blue Mountains are actually grey

They look tired and really sad

There's no soda in Soda Springs

The water's way too hot

Fort Hall's just a great big wall

And we didn't even stop

Now I am lost without you

Sometimes I barely breathe

If I ever don't think of you

It's because I can't believe

That I am on the trail without you

With miles and miles to go

Send me a sign that you're okay

A telegram or note

From the trail

I won't stop till I find you again

Even if you're a pile of ash

I'll find an east-bound caravan

And crank up its pace to fast

You won't notice I've been gone at all

You'll say "Mouthface, where you been?"

I want you to know that there's not a moment

That goes by without the thought of you

I won't be lost without you

Cause you'll be there at my side

You and Dad'll be close together

With my brother on my right

I won't be lost... without you...

I'll see your shining faces

Even if it's through a stone

I'll write something real nice for you

That reminds me of home

On the trail

Wagon on fire

LYRICS:

When the going gets tough
And you're smokin’ a cigarette
Not for the taste of it
The madness it grows
Like a flame through your soul and it's time
For some payback

Conditions are right
The kindle is dry
It's a labor of chemistry
Just a tiny spark
Sends the light through the dark
And the devil's unleashed
Hell is your destiny

Your wagon is on fire
Your wagon is aflame
Your wagon is on fire
It’ll never be the same

Now is the next part of the plan:
Grab the girl and let's get goin'

The tall one with the ugly dress?
That's my future wife, show some respect!
This is all fucked, I thought it would be clean?
How could it be when we’re burnin' families?

Grab her, bag her, anyway you want
I'm too busy saying what's goin' on

And life, as you know it, is changing
(Let me go!)
Desperate times call for measures
(Mr McDoon)
Wedding bells they are clanging
(The Bandit King)
Another one's ash is my treasure

Your wagon is on fire...

When did this get serious?
When my world's at stake
The journey is a sham...
You should have paid attention Dad

There are lives to save
And all that you desire...
Why aren’t you serious?
We’re not far behind
You're back where you began

It's all just part of the grind
We’ll take it one day at a time
And we’ll find our way back home

Are we gone to Oregon?
Oregon...
We’re gone...

When you've got mud on your dick!
