A Black Wave is Comin'
A black wave is comin'
A black wave will fall
Touch your tremblin' lips to your pale fingertips
A black wave doth call
So where do you go my lover
And where do you go my friend
When every face you know and every low road
They have all become dark and dim
A black wave is comin'
A black wave will fall
Touch your tremblin' lips to your pale fingertips
A black wave doth call
So what do you see my darlin'
And what do you see my dear
I can't tell, I can't tell in the wild wood a spell
And the clouds forsake the sky here
So what do you see my lover
And what do you see my friend
I don't know, I don't know at Midnight comes a snow
I can't see, but I hear a little hymn
I can't see, but I hear a little hymn

Chief of Police in Chicago
We got a double positive confirm today
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
And I've called you here just to congratulate
And apologize for the sorrow
We understand he's doing everything that children do
We are getting good at fighting crime
And we don't want to rain upon this dream come true
Or dissuade you from towing the line
Chorus:
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
And I have seen the thing you cannot see
And I'm sorry to be the one to tell you
We've discovered the gene
Maybe we could send you our best officer
There are some tricks to curb the appetite
Hey, we're not in the business of changing futures, Ma'am
But we think we could help him do less time
Now just a few experts are going to tell you that it's not too late
They don't pay me enough to make that call
And you won't find them working down at the District anyway
Hell, all these killers have to learn to crawl
Last Chorus:
I am Chief of Police in Chicago
Oh, I have seen the thing you cannot see
And my team and I are just a little shaken
We've discovered the gene
We got a double positive confirm today
I am Chief of Police in Chicago

Red, Red
Once there was a ghost livin' deep within my heart
Came out at night, danced with me in the dark
Chorus:
Red, red, pale, white
Red, red, pale, white lips
Strode into the orchard, now was in full bloom
Just like two carefree, lovers do
Oh, Mary, dear Mary, I drink to you
Here I can taste your fragrance, and it goes down smooth
Bridge:
Oh meet, by the yonder tree
Oh sing, we used to sing
Now sway in the breeze
Oh, oh, oh, ooooh
Now you'll be singin' softly when the workers arise
And all of the sowers gonna find me in the light
They gonna dig a hole, dig it deep and wide
To lay my achin' skin down by your side

High Blood and Long Evening Dresses
I don’t recall what your name is, my doll
Only the snow in the valley keeps falling
I don’t remember, but this is December
I don’t recall what your name is, darling
Chorus:
So why don’t you come like a thief on the doorstep
Carry me back to the quadrille in Knoxville
Oh, hey old Line Caller, a new silver dollar
I in my high blood and long evening dresses
Breathtaker, Devastator, Forsaker, Heartbreaker
I don’t know fear, and I don’t know pain
Oh, rider, whiter than snow on fire
I don’t remember the sound of the name

Doug Burr Denton, Texas
"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
