Alex Jones 03:22
Alex Jones Big boned American navy UAP baby Sing it good sing it right Thrust it plunge it deep and Fling it over western skyline I ain't never had no job Just gettin up and gettin off Couple bucks and I'm feeling good feeling bad Strut around this town No more feelings to be had But I'm just a fragment Of institution Manipulation Of the nation Of an old meat packing plant
2.
I think that maybe We should start to try To see this place through Through different eyes Because this pair still gets me down Throws me in and out of town These brown fool eyes Don't do me right A quiet king and his throne Have been overthrown Now he's got no home But he ain't on his own He's gripping his crown Sitting under ground And the shits flying on the surface Now he won't make a sound Should a blue pair change my sight Switch my wrongs from right Because these brown fool eyes Don't do me right A quiet king and his throne Have been overthrown Now he's got no home But he ain't on his own He's gripping his crown Sitting underground Shits flying on the surface Now he won't make a sound

Love is Over 02:02
What's the use We don't ever talk into truth Feel it inside It's an ache that will reside But if you tell her how you're feeling Is it worth the weight you're holding Do I care Do I think I'll get somewhere Why should I care Clouds still blowing in the air You'll find it in the coming winters Don't think that love is over
4.
Witnessing disgrace behind theatre And then chasing moonlight just to be divided And Athabaskan theory glinting Dragging her feet under streetlamps And she cries for her people Under her crusty ghost town sheets And you can't pull another Of these California sweets A shoelace ridden of teachings A gut feeling coughed out left baking Being born out of evil Under the infinite critic And you tried to test your might Now on your way to town for new headlights And so you cry for the sunset For a dream that came and went
5.
In My Lawn 02:53
Little men in my yard And we watch from the office Taking notes When the Texan states: It's much too early for this In the pond The minnows hum Weed 'em out one by one Corporals gun in my lawn And all the motion Breeds commotion Figure stands Upright plans Sister's hand Ten-foot brands It grips my heart She feeds emotion She makes me sizzle With affection "Thank you everybody for listening to me and my album. Window Rock, Arizona. Chinle".

Burn 03:23
I had a love to tell, it didn't want to be Before the ships set sail and landed at our feet Before the world was new and its name was cast along And all the people burned in the heat of his song And today were blue Nothing new Sitting tired in our skin A subtle burn still dealt within And so you claim that you've won That your next claim should be the sun And so how far will you go Before you take a look around and know That your path was aligned With the force you sought to fight It's dizzying I know We've sung it time and time before And now we sit here with ourselves Talking of reclaim or sinking in our shells How did we come undone so quickly A song is sung of the sun and its duty
7.
Oh Mable please Go ahead and try You don't have the strength Your mother's lazy Your highway's crazy Torn on the phone My phone's a dusty bone "Hello?" "Hello this is New Mexico gas company" And don't mind my wristwatch Your brother's holding We walked out of that hole Walking our toes home
8.
Near The Sea 02:27
I apologize Yeah this guy didn't even say Didn't even say goodbye Yeah I didn't even send out my wish I hope you're alright I hope you find What you've been looking for Near the sea
9.
Buckskin Boy 02:58
Buy nygren gave me a wristband as a community chain link And the Fort Defiance postal office collapse Revealing the sunsets And my big excuse is Last night's beans brewing in the crock pot Stir my heart away But I just shot my stare No sir never did care Paragliders Buckskin boy reached over like a flower Wanted to talk about his beats I said no Because a man's got places to be These days when I'm older I got no place to be And these days Cut a corner You're a loner But you still shoot your shot With all your gall Ink blot
10.
Big, big life for a little boy She's got too much to enjoy Hand in hand should see it through Oh I got some news for you Sometimes life ain't easy Sioux For people who look like me and you Low nose and oh a deadly stare But I think something's in the air I see calmness sink about Subtle changes to be found Tempting past nor present now Pulled from the future stable ground And it's a hard, hard way To sing the same, same song everyday
11.
You don't have to go now Said the dripping queen don't change But this place has turned to steel Gripping Set out to find somewhere clear and open But the minds don't show alike To ring in any answers And we all hid in our holes Stuck with our masters Wicked smell in the air don't mind me Pull up a chair comb your hair The shoestring dancer At least you took some leaps While your heart beat To the sound of the wind And the dirty sun And the lights didn't show till dark When the creatures roamed On risen trucks and creamy carts But only half were stoned
12.
She held my arm And we walked around November And I rose out of sound Way back in September I turn to stone You lose your chance I miss her so I walk alone Underneath the seasons Down past street living Through the crummy city Looking for a reason

about

Hataałii Window Rock, Arizona

Hataałiinez Wheeler is a very modern kind of crooner: a pensive, deep-voiced troubadour whose serene surf-country songs tap into the hope and despondency of a new generation. The music he makes as Hataałii — a Navajo term that means ‘to sing’, a fitting diminutive of his given name — is at turns witty and world-weary, sunny but endearingly solipsistic. ... more
