lyrics

Raccoon

On the August morning when we took the tubes and floated down
Where the river runs so deep no one but us in our bare feet
No one but us in our bare feet
No one but us in our bare feet
No one but us in our bare feet
While we floated on our backs we saw the raccoon in a trap
It stared at us and yanked the chain we thought we’d better wander back
We wandered back but it was gone
We wandered back but it was gone
We wandered back but it was gone
We saw a path between the trees and walked until we saw debris
And rusted cans all strewn about, the shack was in tar paper black
The shack was in tar paper black
The shack was in tar paper black
The shack was in tar paper black
The old man’s gun looked threatening, I looked at him he looked at me
I said “Hey there’s a raccoon in your trap!” He spit and said “Well, how ‘bout that?”
He spit and said “ How ‘bout that?”
He spit and said “How ‘bout that?”
He spit and said “How ‘bout that?”

Take it to Heaven O Mercy One
Take it to Heaven O Mercy One
Take it to Heaven O Mercy One

Thea Ennen Wisconsin

I sing and write to make a sense of my existence - my place in this world. Each song is a specific journey down a road. They are my magic carpets to see again a memory or expectation. I use songs - melodies and words - to guide me, like a rudder through the waters of life. .

I think I sing in public to reassure this kind of journey- to never lose touch with what is instinctual.
