Hey, where have you been?
I spent last night all alone
if you want me, call
I’ll be waiting by the phone
but I don’t know if you’re home
I don’t know if you’re home
I’ll bend you ‘til we fit
you’re such a hypocrite on show
your bones and burns and cuts—
I’ll just stick to what I know

Crossing Bridges
03:18
|

Crossing bridges you haven’t come to
it’s boring without you here
here I’m looking myself in the mirror
stand in front of me
and I’m not quite sure
if you see what i see
Rolling down that road
and I’m not quite sure If I left your door
an actor could not have worn that face
any longer
It’s in your ways
it’s in your gaze
it’s you, the problem I need
Crossing bridges you haven’t come to
it’s boring without you here
here I’m looking myself in the mirror
now I’m looking real hard for me
you’re not what I see
not what I see in me

Go Quiet
03:43
|
|||
Go quiet, go slow
nobody asks you anymore
keep your hat on, close the door
nobody asks you anymore
I spent so many nights
staring at that door, feeling like the floor
it took you just one time to break my heart
to leave me in the dark
you left me in the dark
When I see you
I’ll see you when I’m gone

Record Machine

|

I’m sitting here thinking through my dreams as the record machine screams at me
These bills are falling from my notebook stand to the floor where I stand and scream
I’m happy where I stand but I can’t stand your jealousy I only have what I found for me what I was lucky enough to grab
These bills they don’t own me I only need these dreams

Did You Really Mean It
04:04
|

Did you really mean it
that everything would be just fine
did you really mean it
that it’d be just fine this time
Did you really mean it
everything would be just fine
that you see stars every time I smile
Did you really mean it
when you look into your heart
My heart is heavy
knows what it can carry, but you—
I don’t think you mean it this time
I’m done with you
If you don’t mean it
then i don’t mean it

Last I Had
03:00
|
|||
I just put a thousand miles
on your car ‘cause you’re not there
screamed your name into the air
she don’t mind, she don’t care
screamed your name into the air
Stopped for gas, I hit the town
a tourist in a roughneck bar
man, you don’t know where you are
I broke my nose, took your car
man, you don’t know
The last I had of you is gone
the last I had of you is gone
When I got out west I hit the shore
the road trip took two weeks or more
she don’t love me like before
I landed in an ocean town
you weren’t there so I asked around
No you don’t love me
she don’t love me
my heart pumps dust, sinks with the sun
the last I had of you is gone
I sailed into a savage land
of coconuts, exotic fruit
people sleep all afternoon
I found a girl who looked like you
showed her how to play the part
I showed her how to break my heart

Dallas
03:07
|
|||
I was already in Dallas when you called
I was already in trouble with that same old story
I don’t know anyone like that
you gave your word and then you had to crawl back
You were not one of us at all
you had your nice car and you drove it daily
you turned the summer into fall
I always thought that you’d be front-page, maybe
I met your sister in the spring
she has your looks and now she moves the same way
we’re all so proud of what you’ve done
you cut us loose and told us try to have fun
try to have fun

Pennyroyal
02:29
|

I took out west I, took out less
torn and toiled, a pennyroyal
I changed my name, I changed my face
moved to the outskirts of town
had dreams of gold, had a heart of gold
had a past of soil, the darkest soil
a pennyroyal
There was one thing that helped me combat my chagrin
a boy who ran when his ship came in
now he’s gone, I’ll sing that song
I’ll take it with me, to keep me happy
I come back Minneapolis-bound
I found my only friend in miles
I sewed up the holes in my pockets
for what it was worth
it wasn’t worth all the ruckus
Now I got the one thing i need to feel free
the one thing i need to feel free
humbled like a pennyroyal

Broken Wheel
02:55
|
|||
You and I have become silent
and the wheel of the sun
has broken itself upon the dawn
Tell them all you were lonely
tell them all all you went home
tell them all you got married
and I was there to wish you on
Seven days for your freedom
seven days for your health
seven days for our baby
he's young and cannot feed himself

An Official Statement
04:43
|
|||
Remember when there’d only been
heroin in the freezer?
we weren’t ever hungry then anyway
But it was such a large freezer
to be holding such small, potent cargo
Just like an official statement
of no more wine glasses brings
But this time the pickings are thin
and heroin is the only thing in this city
that turned out to be what it said it is

Love Song To Wingo
02:31
|
|||
It used to run so easily
before I had these two irons on my side
the sun it used to open up for me
and it comes and it comes and it comes
The back doors that you had within your reach
are used to keep the wind out
you said that I could never get your sympathy
and it comes and it comes and it comes

Baby I'm Against It
01:49
|

And when I let you down, don’t be sad
And when word gets around, don’t be sad
When she comes back in May
blue and green and gold
I’ll see it for myself

Pennyroyal Minneapolis, Minnesota
"..A highly evolved, adaptive beast of music, Pennyroyal puts a glam spin on the rock ‘n’ blues sound other bands are circling in on today.. An almost terrifying genius powering lead singer Angie Oase’s at once ethereal and guttural vocals, leading the charge onto the gates of musical heaven." -LB ... more
