Thao w The Get Down Stay Down-'Beat (Health, Life and Fire)'
live in the lounge at woxy.com
beat my brow
beat my chest
beat the ones who love me the best
oh how could they be liars
they assured me health, life and fire
who who-ooh hoooo
who who-ooh hoooo
oh no!
how can you stand it
when i run, when i run like a bandit
i wear him like a habit
in the lining of my jacket
and oh my gunpowder
is an emergency
i must battle without her
she is surely killing me
who who-ooh hooo
who who-ooh hooo
so you're never gonna leave
and i'm never gonna leave
but I'm proud to say that I've got us beat
and i'm never gonna leave
and you're never gonna leave
but you're never gonna love me like i need
who who-ooh hooo
who who-ooh hooo
who who-ooh hooo
who who-ooh hooo

Thao w The Get Down Stay Down- Bag of Hammers
I am all in a ball
In your front yard
I have this bag of hammers
And I won't ask to come in
'Cause I have sold everything
Still I have, have got some manners
And there's a hole in your head
Spilled your thoughts on the floor
We wanted you bad
You wanted it more
The trick is
You do not get on that interstate bus
The catch is
You stay and see what becomes of us
Shake, shake, shake, shake the frame of this house
Distress the wood, make it shout
And as sharp as I sting, as sharp as I sing
It still soothes you, doesn't it?
Like a lick of ice cream
I am all in a ball
In your front yard
I have this bag of hammers
And I won't ask to come in
'Cause I have sold everything
Still I have, have got some manners
Shake, shake, shake, shake the frame of this house
Distress the wood, make it shout
And as sharp as I sting, as sharp as I sing
It still soothes you, doesn't it?
Like a lick of ice cream

Thao w The Get Down Stay Down-Big Kid's Table
(live in the studio at WNRN)
You are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely
And I reach high
As high as I was able
Such a small kid
At the big kid table
And you follow me
Into the forest
Positioned and ready
Ready for a kiss
But I never gave you nothing
Not even to hope
Or wear around your neck
Or rest against your collarbone
But I got reasons
I have been excused
I want to reconvene
I want to tell the truth
That you are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely
You are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Love, lovely
And it is not as though
I do not know it hurts me
It’s just I drink only
That which makes me thirsty
We are after all locomotives
Cannot recall, reclaim
Pretend we did not do it
I got reasons
I have been excused
I want to reconvene
I want to tell the truth
Well you are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
With a heart much more
Much more lovely
You are strong, strong, strong,
Stronger than me
You are strong, strong, strong,
You are strong, strong, strong,
You are strong
