Kangaatsiaq 04:02
I'm moving to Kangaatsiaq To a one room fishing shack In case of bio-attack I'm going to Kangaatsiak Where the healing waters flow Porpoises sing down below We're leaving if you want to go To the land of the Eskimo Don'f fly me down to Singapore Or close to an Asian shore I won't go down there no more And I'll tell you why what for It's where the hot waters radiate And get to steaming like a boiler plate Go buy yourself a packing crate We gotta go before it's too late In Kangaatsiaq You can fish the night time through In Kangaatsiak In Kangaatsiaq Nobody cares what you do In Kangaatsiaq The Northern Lights are bright In Kangaatsiak Don't you know I might Go to Kangatsiaq And carve a totem pole Go to Kangaatsiak Meet me by the old ice hole Go to Kangaatsiaq With glaciers running free Go to Kangaatsiaq Quick now one two three Go to Kangaatsiaq And join the chosen few Go to Kangaatsiaq Before they come for you Go to Kangaatsiaq Down by the frozen bay Go to Kangaatsiaq And live to fight another day

Don't think twice Wait until the morning When the clock starts winding down Don't heed the warning Don't hear the thunder Don't see no rain Don't feel no pain Don't know if I'm ever gonna say it But the time is coming soon Might be a high time Might be a good time Could be a bad time The time is now (I Told You So) I ain't never gonna say it but (I Told You So) Don't know why I ever tried to tell you The shit that's going down You didn't want to hear it You didn't want to know it You couldn't believe it Don't you make me say (I Told You So) You don't wanna hear it but (I Told You So) Some might say It's only schadenfreude Don't kick me when I'm down Gotta get a small town Gonna be a smack down Could be a dust up's coming round

Putah Creek 02:56
Down at Putah Creek Put you hands in the water So clear so fresh And it tastes like it oughta There are fish so big they can break your line But you know you can't go fishing there all the time Running with the wolves Chasing jack to slaughter Have a joint a rabbit stew Cody said Jody brother shake that groove Stake your claim buddy make your move Down and dirty on the muddy bottom And it's all summer long right into the Autumn Down at Putah Creek you can't tell no lies Everybody Choogaloo Down at Putah Creek I met a good man's daughter She taught me how to swear and she taught me how to holler She gets down low 'cause she's wild and free And that's why her old man he don't like me He ran me off with a double barrel rock salt And you it wasn't even my fault Whenever I go back down to Putah Creek My bucket's got a hole and my boat it leaks The old folks home is like cemetary With the young ones gone it's elementary You can't go back home even if you wanna Down at Putah Creek Down at Putah Creek Down at Putah Creek

Some say only birds can fly Watch the clouds as they float by I got my goggles and a leather hat Tell me what you think of that Pulling at the wind and flying way too high One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky Sad old Daedalus and his son Could not do what I have done Watch me dive watch me stroll Watch me turn a barrel roll Duck your heads 'cause here I come Storming through the old blue gum Clip my wheels on the trees I'm as pretty as you please Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly One hundred horses hitched to a memory Some say i'm the seventh son I've got hermes on the run I'm an eagle in the sky Kiss the earth and say goodbye Pulling at the wind and flying way too high One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky I'm a bird now watch me fly On my wings beyond the sky Now the gods know it's my place The wonder of the human race Pulling at the wind and flying way too high One hundred horses spinning in a clear blue sky Pulling at the wind and circling endlessly One hundred horses hitched to a memory We pay our respects to flying ace Samuel Edwin Earhart who was killed today when his Sopwith triplane crashed into the blue gum trees north of Atchison, Kansas. He is survived by his wife Amy and his daughter Amelia.
