YOUR GOAT IS ON FIRE
Written by BOBBY BARE JR. copyright dec 2010
THE ASTROLOGY GUIDE
IS BENEATH THE ARTIFICIALLY WEATHERED JESUS BOOK
THE PEOPLE MAGAZINES -ARE WITHIN REACH OF EVERY SEAT
THE KOSHER OREOS
SLIDING DOWN YOUR HOLLOW THROAT
MAKES A DISHONEST MIND FLOAT
LIKE A FLAMING ARROW THROUGH A WET GOAT
IN THE DARK HAMONY LOUNGE-WITH THE LAYZIES AND THE CLOWNS
NO ONE REMEMBERS MAKING OUT – IN THE DARK HARMONY LOUNGE
STRAITEN THE RUGS
LIKE THEY ARE BEING PULLED
BY ANGRY BUGS
WITH THOSE RAZORBLADE SHOES
PLAYIN THEIR FAVORITE TUNES
IN THE DARK HAMONY LOUNGE-WITH THE LAYZIES AND THE CLOWNS
NO ONE REMEMBERS MAKING OUT – IN THE DARK HARMONY LOUNGE
PLAYIN SONGS THAT SOUND SIMILAR BUT NOT THE SAME
LIKE BORDOM IS TO PAIN
SIMILAR BUT NOT THE SAME

SAD SMILE
written by BOBBY BARE JR. aug- 2007-copyright
LAST NIGHT I GOT BUSTED
FOR ACTING JUST LIKE MYSELF
WHILE WISHING I WAS SOMEBODY ELSE
AND EVERYONE KNOWS JUST WHO I AM
I AM THE CHEWIN’ GUM STUCK IN YOU HAIR
WHATS MAKING YOU SMILE
IS MAKING ME SAD
I KNOW WHAT FEELS GOOD
THIS IS GONNA BE BAD
AND ALL OF MY BLESSINGS JUST MAKE YOU MAD
WHATS MAKING YOU SMILE IS MAKING ME SAD
WHEN YOU SAID GOODBYE
I HEARD HELLO
WHERE YOU GONNA GO
I’M THE ONLY FOOL YOU KNOW
WE FOUND A PLACE
BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE
WHERE NOTHING FEELS THAT GOOD
AND NOTHING FEELS THAT GREAT
DON’T GO TO CHATTANOOGA
Written by BOBBY BARE JR. copyright jan 2010
I DON’T WANNA GO TO CHATTANOOGA
I WANNA STAY HERE WITH YOU
I DON’T WANNA GO TO CHATTANOOGA
THE JUDGE SAYS IT’S WHAT I GOTTA DO
OOH WHO LAYING HERE WITH YOU
WILL YOU WAIT 4 WEEKS FOR ME
WILL YOU WAIT 4 WEEKS FOR ME
THE MOON IS SHINING ON THE WATER
AND THE WATER IS ALL OVER YOU
LOVE ME ONE LAST TIME IN THE WATER
TO MANCHESTER I WILL WALK WITH YOU
OOH WHO GOING HOME WITH YOU
WILL YOU WAIT 4 WEEKS FOR ME
WILL YOU WAIT 4 WEEKS FOR ME

SWOLLEN BUT NOT THE SAME
WRITTEN BY BOBBY BARE JR. AND KAI WELCH copyright june 2009
IN THE RECRUITMENT LINE LIKE A FISH ON A BUN
WHEN WE HELD OUT OUR HAND THEY GAVE US A GUN
A GUN – A GUN – THEY GAVE US A GUN
A GUN – A GUN – BULLETS FOR BLOOD
THE COLD METAL STEAL FELT LIKE THE STICK OF A DEAD MAN
IN THE HANDS OF AN EAGER NECROPHILIAC
SWOLLEN BUT NOT THE SAME
SWOLLEN BUT NOT THE SAME
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE SOME DAY
THE PAIN WILL ALL FADE AWAY
————————————————————————————
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
BOBBY BARE SR/ BOBBY BARE JR. copyright july 08
I SAW YOU – WITH YOUR HANDSOME NEW DUDE
KISSIN’ AND SMILIN’ LAST NIGHT
I WOULD RATHER HAVE POISENED BEAKED SPARROWS
PLUCK OUT MY CRYIN’ EYES
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO – BABE
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
HOW IT PAINS ME TO TELL YOU SO BABE
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
I CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
BUT I FORGOT – I’M AFRAID OF HEIGHTS
PUT BULLETS IN THE PISTOL – PUT THE PISTOL IN MY MOUTH
BUT THE BARREL DID NOT TASTE RIGHT
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO – BABE
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
HOW IT PAINS ME TO SAY IT’S SO BABE
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
THERE’S NO SUICIDE FOR THE COURAGE OF A COWARD
BUT – ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
SITTIN HERE OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW THINKIN’
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
YOU DON’T SEE ME BUT I CAN SEE YOU
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
WITH THE HAMMER PULLED BACK -
MY FINGER SHAKES ON THE TRIGGER
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
YOU SMILE SO TRUE AS HE IS RUBBING ON YOU
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO
ONE IS NOT ENOUGH AND THREE IS TOO MANY
ONE OF US HAS GOT TO GO

A STORM – A TREE – MY MOTHER’S HEAD
Words and music by BOBBY BARE JR copyright feb 2008
THERE IS A TREE LAYING ON HER HEAD
AND THAT TREE DON’T CARE IF SHE’S ALIVE OR DEAD
BRANCHES BOARDS AND BONES – COLLIDING ON THE FLOOR
AND THAT TREE LAYING ON HER HEAD
THE NIGHT THE STORM WAS ROLLING IN
THE RAIN FLEW SIDEWAYS IN THE WIND
AT 100 YEARS OLD – THAT TREE WAS TIRED AND READY TO FALL
THE NIGHT THE STORM WAS ROLLING IN
MY MOMMA SCREAMS AND SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS
MY MOMMA SCREAMS AND NO ONES THERE TO HEAR
AND MOMMA DON’T KNOW IF SHE’S GONNA DIE
ALONE IN TENNESSEE TONIGHT
MY MOMMA SCREAMS AND SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO HEARS

THE SKY IS THE GROUND
Written by BOBBY BARE JR. copyright oct 2010
THE RIVERS HUNGRY FOR CRYIN BABIES
ALL OF THE GRAVITY HAS GOT A HOLD OF ME
WITH MY LITTLE BROWN FEET IN THE TOP OF THE TREE
I SEE MY GRANNY RUNNIN AFTER ME
chorus
THE SKY IS THE GROUND- WHEN YOUR UPSIDE DOWN
THE SKY IS THE GROUND- WHEN YOUR UPSIDE DOWN
I GIGGLE TREMBLE GASP AND CHOKE-I THINK I BROKE ANOTHER SPOKE
I GIGGLE TREMBLE GASP AND CHOKE
I SMILE WHILE I SCREAM
IT’S A REAL LIFE ACTION SCENE
WITH THE TRAININ WHEELS AND STEEP GRASSY HILLS
GUYS IN A FIRE ENGINE GIVIN GRANNY OXIGEN
I SHOULD A STAYED AT THE TOP BUT I WANNA ROCK
MOMMA HELD MY HANDS – DADDY HELD MY LEGS
THEY PUT METAL IN MY HEAD
MOMMA HELD MY HANDS- DADDY HELD MY LEGS
MY BLOOD TURNED BROWN WHEN I DRIED ON MY GOWN
WHY DOES THE BLOOD TURN BROWN WHEN IT DRIES ON MY GOWN

LOST JESUS SANDALS
Written by BOBBY BARE JR., PATRICK HALLAHAN, CARL BROEMEL, AND DAVID VANDERVELDE copyright nov 2009
MY JESUS SANDALS ARE MISSING
AND I THINK I LEFT THEM ON THE BACK OF THE STAGE
OR WITH THE ANGRY DIVORCEE WHO WAS TO HELP ME GET AWAY
THEY WERE LIKE SLEDS MADE OF GENTAL LEATHER
THAT WOULD ALWAYS CARRY ME SAFELY THROUGH
I DON’T WANNA BUT I’M GONNA PUT ON MY BOOTS
AND THIS IS NO GOSH DARN HOAX
MY TONAILS ARE BURRIED AND NOT BREATHIN
BENDING YELLOW AND COARSE
I DON’T WANNA BUT I’M GONNA PUT ON MY BOOTS
MY JESUS SANDALS ARE MISSING AND WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
A GURU WITH NO SANDALS
STUCK IN HOUSTON TALKIN’ TO YOU

LIZ TAYLOR’S LIPSTICK GUN
written by bobby bare jr on a train between Portland and Seattle sept 4th – 2007
I HEARD THAT OPIE TAYLOR WAS LIZ TAYLOR’S SON
THEY LIVED IN MOUNT PILOT TILL THE SUMMER OF 71’
AND THEY WERE AS CLOSE AS A BURGER IS TO A BUN
I HEARD THEY WERE AS CLOSE AS A BURGER TO A BUN
AND ONE CHRISTMAS HE SPENT A MONTH IN A SHED
BUILDING A GUN THAT SHOT LIPSTICK INSTEAD OF LEAD
AND IN EVERY KINDA COLOR- BUT NEVER RED
AQUA – CANNERY – CHOCOLATE – BUT NEVER EVER RED
SHE WOULD USE IT ON SUNDAYS JUST BEFORE DUSK
WAVING HER CANON AT THE CAROLINA SUN
SHOOTING AT THE NEIGHBORS- JUST TO SEE EM RUN
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS REBEL ON THE RUN
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS A HAG ON THE HUNT
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS PIGSKIN AFTER THE PUNT
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS A PRIEST ON TOP OF A NUN
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS A PREPOSITION IN A PUN
AND IT MADE HER AS HAPPY AS LIPSTICK IN A GUN
TILL DARKNESS CAME AND EVERYONE DID RUN
HOME TO HIDE FROM LIZ AND HER LIPSTICK GUN
AND THERE NEVER WAS A HAPPIER RED HEADED SON
I HEARD THAT OPIE TAYLOR WAS LIZ TAYLOR’S SON

SUMMER OF 93’
Written by BOBBY BARE JR. copyright jan 2010
WILL YOU SELL YOUR SHIRT TO ME
I SAW THEM WITH SONIC YOUTH IN THE SUMMER OF 93
THE SINGER SPIT WHILE HE SCREAMED-
WITH BROKEN COWBOY BOOTS
WRAPED AROUND HIS CROOKED FEET
WILL YOU SELL YOUR SHIRT TO ME
I DON’T CARE THAT YOU CUT OFF BOTH THE SLEEVES
THE GUTAR WAS AS ANGRY
AS A LONELY DISEASED PORCUPINE IN HEAT
