1.	Song For Stephen J. Maddox 02:50	lyrics	buy track
That private detective was awful expensive He just laughed under his breath Took my money and away he went But oh, there he found you Where i least expected Out in albuquerque Live the joke till the bitter end Are you a vapor in the heat? Are you making up a ghost? Or did you find somewhere Somewhere nice and low to lay Where the heat is kind and the phone don’t ever ring Dad, in your normal voice Why won’t you talk to me $100,000 later The joke ain't any better Dad you were always alive In my heart and in the archives I have all the documents I even have your last will and testament Somewhere out there someone will listen Till then Dad I love and miss ya Are you a vapor in the heat? Are you making up a ghost? Or did you find somewhere Somewhere nice and low to lay Where the heat is kind and the phone don’t ever ring Dad, in your normal voice Why won’t you talk to me Goddamn, in your normal voice.
2.	Your Extensive VHS Collection Survived The Fire (Patches of Family Feud) 04:48	lyrics	buy track
Gladys is talking to ghosts again She won’t admit it but I hear her whispering Where this place once stood names that weren’t said too often Shes got a rosary and a new song in heart she goes “Does God know what he’s doing?” x2 Oh no Does God know what its doing? Oh lord wont you please repair It was swallowed by fire and water and air Oh our spirits are losing all this room Losing our place as family heirlooms God, I guess we’re in your shoes I guess we’ve caught your blues Those boxes of tapes from years ago Those soap opera blocks Those small claims court shows Those family movies that crackled so fine They all survived She said I’m gonna need more than an insurance check To level out, to level out the damage In this sky so black with smoke Can’t tell your birthright from dead people’s baggage Does God know what it’s doing? Does God know what she’s doing? What we’re doing Those boxes of tapes from years ago Those soap opera blocks Those small claims court shows Those family movies that crackled so fine They all survived Those movies that played before the 10:00 news Baseball games with patches of the Family Feud Somewhere in the the spirits of our bedrooms still shine They all survived, they all survived. Don’t ask me why.
