Parka Mule 03:16
I've got two wings for to veil my face I've got two wings for to fly away And then we'll anchor by and by Go down Ol' Hannah, don't you cry Ain't gonna leave this summer home For forty years so jumpin' long And if I walk right out that door You know I'll be in Baltimore
2.
Riding down the pike Looking for the turn Make a quick exit, baby When you gonna learn? Take away the key It all comes falling down Take away your freedom There’s no one else around Everybody plays a role And no one will pay the toll for you Life ain’t no highway Gotta get it while you can If you think things never change You’re wishing on a black hole You might think it strange But it’s like fishing without a pole Everybody plays a role And no one will pay the toll for you Life ain’t no highway Gotta get it while you can

We take the Middle Branch on by The star fort underneath the sky And row with the tide Just keep it inside With laughter there's no time to wait Ain't asking us to play it straight All I want is you To see it through If I could I surely would Climb the rock where Moses stood When you come around You don't make a sound Everything I see is strange Ain't nobody act their age There's ice on the eaves But no one can see I know it's a long way There's nothing you can't say There's little you can't pay down Sitting downtown on the pier But dark ain't gonna catch us here There's no peace or love It's done for the shove With faces formless like the stars Gazing from behind the bars Time runs so fleet It's you it would meet Now we learn just what we need Try not to think of how it bleed Or brag of the loss No matter the cost In Highlandtown and over there Sandtown burns without a care Don't know how to want Without looking gaunt I know it's a long way There's nothing you can't say There's little you can't play down

I got more time than money I got more flies than honey And maybe you think it’s funny But nobody laughing now We tossed no coins in the fountain We lost no whales to the sea And there on the highest mountain We set all the gurus free There’s too much harm in charm city Ain’t it a sin to pass on pity Turning right just south of pleasant  Running from eager street As if the rhyme has a reason It’s out of season to stand in line. And if you cry over a nickel, You’re willing to die on a dime Walking the old line Every thought a ghost All things leave a trace Every moment the most
5.
Grab ahold of your side and hold it Running down on a whim Hand to mouth until you control it Just to get something in Come again as if nothing matters Standing on the rocks on the bay Climbing up an old rung of the ladder Can’t see another way She’s a switchback woman And soon she’ll be gone She’s a switchback woman And you’ll be alone now Make or break she don’t want you hearing The sand rushing by in your head Run away just before you’re nearing All the things you never said Walk away if you know what you’re feeling Don’t think about the loss and the crime One long day you might see that it’s healing Save it for another time She’s a switchback woman And soon she’ll be gone She’s a switchback woman And you’ll be alone now Go ahead and think of those people Standing on their head for your sins Find a hole and you dig it deeper Wonder why you never win It’s about all the ways that you’re seeing Baby gonna come and they go Can’t see clear if your life’s just being Telling all the lies that yout know
