Camp Wanakena Tell your folks you're gone for a month Attempting to have an out-of-body experience Camp Wanakena Pitch your tent and gather a log Attending to knowledge encountered by the ancient ones In Camp Wanakena Camp Wanakena You'll be OK Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Let's play croquet Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Make a sundae Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Wear lingerie Even if there's snow in May In Camp Wanakena Camp Wanakena Making friends with dismal swamps In order to find a convenient place to be alone Camp Wanakena The golden flashback The greasy fatback The piney tamarack The sunken lands Camp Wanakena The muddy greeting The preacher speeding The winter receding The crafty hands In Camp Wanakena Camp Wanakena You'll be OK Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Let's play croquet Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Make a sundae Even if there's snow in May Camp Wanakena Wear lingerie Even if there's snow in May In Camp Wanakena

I got the Hotel Wanakena tryna' find a place to stay-a blues I got the Hotel Wanakena tryna' find a place to stay-a blues But when I came to this town It was all torn down, oh boohoo Oh I drove a thousand miles 'cause I heard it was the place to be Oh I drove a thousand miles 'cause I heard it was the place to be When I called up Billy Bean He was nowhere to be seen, oh me I got a couple trucks of lumber tryna' find a place to build my home I got a couple trucks of lumber tryna' find a place to build my home But when my feet hit the ground It was just a ghost town, what's wrong? I heard they got accommodations when you need a vacation bed I heard they got accommodations when you need a vacation bed Oh you silly silly boy Try the Hotel Conroy instead I'm on the Oswegatchie river tryna' find a place to dip my toes I'm on the Oswegatchie river tryna' find a place to dip my toes I was asleep then awake Deep in Cranberry Lake I slipped away in the stream And I woke up in a dream Goodness knows

Cranberries Jams and jellies Newborn babies On the Oswegatchie Warm Fridays Black fly days Golden sun rays On the lake reflecting Stone manors Day planners Bad manners At the Lakeside General Trout fishers Big wishers Skinny dippers In a life ephemeral Cranberry Aid my journey Leave me a yearning For a life of peace

Shower Song 03:07
Haven't had a shower in oh so long So I'm gonna sing a shower song Retired from the Navy working for the state Came down to Wanakena for a nice long break Tried to cross the border but they turned me away Family sold the house, I got no where to stay Haven't had a shower in oh so long So I'm gonna sing a shower song Guess I'll try to crash with somebody I know Somebody with a shower and a bar of soap I'm going fishing either way But I'd feel better with a good clean shave Haven't had a shower in oh so long So I'm gonna sing a shower song

Wetter 02:45
Come to the river Give me a quarter I'm gonna sink it ten feet deep You're looking sickly Jump in quickly I recommend a swim downstream Get a little bit wetter And you might feel better River is icy Oswegatchie Can't you see that bridge will fall? I'm kinda nervous Under the surface My little lungs won't last that long Get a little bit wetter And you might feel better

A Run-In 02:05
We had another run-in We had another run-in I'm gonna get my gun and Make a mess You know he had it coming You know he had it coming I'm not a fan of running From distress I'm gonna paint the parking lot (We had a run-in) With the brains of a bear and buckshot (Another run-in) Gonna leave the carcass out to rot (We had a run-in) And give the neighbors food for thought (Another run-in) I'm gonna get my money back (We had a run-in) Gonna blast that punk to Saranac (Another run-in) Turn into a crazed insomniac (We had a run-in) Afraid of a full counter-attack We had another run-in We had another run-in I'm gonna get my gun and Cross the line I'm just a country bumpkin I'm just a country bumpkin I'm rounder than a pumpkin On the vine I'm gonna paint the parking lot (We had a run-in) With the brains of a bear and buckshot (Another run-in) Gonna leave the carcass out to rot (We had a run-in) And give the neighbors food for thought (Another run-in) I'm gonna get my money back (We had a run-in) Gonna blast that punk to Saranac (Another run-in) Turn into a crazed insomniac (We had a run-in) Afraid of a full counter-attack

The Ranger 03:09
You collect the clippings from the paper Organize a new life as a stranger Heading out to join up with the rangers Mother threw a fit so you estranged her Aimlessly stumbling teenager Getting lost in wooded veils and rivers And passed out in the park is the park ranger Reveling in imaginary danger

The Sport 03:00
A walk in the woods A man with the goods Coming to disturb the peace A fire run wild The brain of a child The sport of the century He gets lost in the haze He gets talking for days He performs on a stage Unaware of his age The mystery man Spits in a can Conjures a new recipe He butchers a hog Chops off of a log Flaunting his history He gets lost in the haze He gets talking for days He performs on a stage Unaware of his age He was down at the bog He was shrouded in fog He was good with his hands He was losing the land He was born in a fire He was swinging a tire He was throwing a fit He was losing his grip

Knock knock knock The weather is a-beckoning for you to stop Everything you're doing for a breezy walk All around the corner to the bus stop The wind picks up Carrying your consciousness around the dock Up and down the river to the only spot You can clear your head and skip the rocks The wind wants in Open up the shutters, let the wonders win Pulling off your gutters cause The wind wants back The curtains are retreating from the earth's attack Row row row Floating with a paddle in a big canoe Exiting the saddle for a dip or two Trying not to rattle like a big buffoon Back at home Drying off with towels hanging in the sun They've been out for hours but they're still not done The likely indicator is the weather won The wind wants in Open up the shutters, let the wonders win Pulling off your gutters cause The wind wants back The curtains are retreating from the earth's attack Boom boom boom Now the sky is puncturing your rusty roof Cats and dogs are falling through the gaps in truth I think you're better off in a phone booth The claps and roars The thunder is applauding you for open doors The wind is whipping through and makes your body soar Up into the sky til you're no more The wind wants in Open up the shutters, let the wonders win Pulling off your gutters cause The wind wants back The curtains are retreating from the earth's attack
