lyrics

5. The Toucher
The placement always matters
Its always meant to hurt.
The hammer's always subtle.
Swung to benefit the worst.

Where you lay head at night
All things that you hold dear
The hands have all been held
The heads have been cleared

I am the black dust lining of your lung,
I am the corner of your page
Kingmaker and crown
Not a turner, not the sage


6. Shakin Hands With The Sheriff
I left the academy for a position in radar
Crumbs in my seat
I eat in my car

Tennis elbow, I never owned a racket
Its just my job
I love my job

A smooth transition from the desert
These slacks don't breathe
I uphold the sleeze

I'm workin these guns
I've got a lot on my mind
Next year we go electronic
My paper's stacking up
Next year we go electronic
My paper's stacking up


7. Pony Destroyer

Welcome equestrian, destroyer of men.  Hooves like
calloused hands, conquer the promised lands. Back in the saddle again,
you won’t come around. Out of the races, and onto the track. I’ll
decide who lives and who dies. Out of the races and onto the track.

Back in the saddle, again
You won't come around


8. Sun and Gin
Instrumental
