"Coyote Mary's Traveling Show" lyrics
"Coyote Mary's Traveling Show"
Shut the door on yesterday
Bring down the lightning in a jar
Proud Mary wheels so proudly rolling
Long after daytime ends
How do you like to celebrate
Now this fire's embers and ash?
Blue heron echo down the motorway
Says, "Can we make this night last?"
'Cause every traveling show
Needs a host with the most
Who can conjure a bed from a couch
"If it's a wrestling pin
That the world's got you in
Well, you'd better have yourself a friend
Yeah, when your lights go out"
"Tomorrow's out of my range
Here now is all there is to know
We shut the door on yesterday
Here at this traveling show
Tomorrow's out of my range
Here now is all there is to know
We shut the door on yesterday
Here at this traveling show"

Andy Shauf - "Jeremy's Wedding" It was so nice
I thought the bridesmaids looked beautiful
Jeremy's suit was a little stiff
But that's how it goes
Judy
Why didn't you
Come say hello in the receiving line?
I think he would have...
Okkervil River - "Call Yourself Renee" Don't look back until you realise you're pointedly not trying to look back
Then reconsider trying for a clearer mind, try for a grace of some kind
Leave your house and walk in the autumn light...
Hamilton Leithauser - "The Garbage Men" All the reeling
City voices
Burn you out but
Tonight I wish that we could join 'em
Snap the wishbone
Smash the lightbulbs
And when you kiss me
I'll be the man I always was
You say "I'll find a job"...
Vetiver - "Wanted, Never Asked" Once a songbird caught me by surprise
With the strength of its singing
A bright call took flight, pierced the air
Like a lone bell a-ringing
What's past is past
Wanted, never asked
I don't expect...
Big Thief - "Wolf" Here to the mornin' noon
Woke up as you left the room
Pillow still warm
Scent like meadow grass
Has the feelin' come to pass?
Has the feelin' come to stay?
What can we say?
Wishin' you'd hang...
