Lyrics
Walkin' and talkin' and crawlin' all over town
Squawkin' and gawkin' and cockin' up and then down
Crapshootin' scraps n' hoops joggin' it off
Draggin' through hellfire then I'm prancing through straw
Witches and stiches are somehow sewing me up
Muppets and puppets are pouring soot on my crown
Raggedy Anne and Andy are down, making love behind the couch
Chess pieces peace makers pacing picking me up
Putting me places I did not say I want
Buddha said baby would be a beautiful bomb
Ba-ba the black sheep becoming us all

I use my music to tell autobiographical stories about intimacy, heartbreak, damaging memories and hope. Many of my songs use fairy tales and allegory to transport and activate imagination. Heavily influenced by shape note singing and the Appalachian mountain music I grew up with, I use harmonies and rounds that are infectious and fun to sing.
