Lyrics: “The Equipment Is Fine” by Dare Dukes
The casserole pan is in the wash,
Time to play board games.
Don’t get angry, don’t get cross,
This is how we stay sane.
Sane, I know no pain.
Golf umbrella for the summer rain.
Shot today an 89.
Doctor confirmed the equipment’s fine.
Lyrics: “Sam’s Cathedral” by Dare Dukes
Gather the children near the escalator.
That Level 3 is my honey’s dream.
Where is that coupon super-saver?
In Sam’s Cathedral things are what they seem.
Lyrics: “Ballad of Dairus McCollum” by Dare Dukes
West 4th, A Train to Borough Hall, transfer.
Be still and listen for your god’s whisper.
Chorus:
Don’t touch emergency breaks unless you’ve heard the call.
Electric motors are the prettiest transmitters of all.
Lyrics: “Bakersfield” by Dare Dukes
They said, “Don’t go. Nothing in Bakersfield.
A hot wind do blow and cracks both heart and field.”
Through pleas and threats, the ache it would not yield.
I never meant to go out of my head, then I heard she’s in Bakersfield.
