At The Fair 03:50
I’m a fan of everything you make Every late night Every mistake Every woman Every kiss I’m a fan of everything that’s brought you to this. At the fair, there is such a prize: Rainbow colors, and neon lights. I’m a fan spinning in this world A fixture in the architecture. Omens, send me omens Signs, send me signs Omens, send me omens Signs, send me signs

Beautiful losers Stepped on a subway Eat at the boardwalk Watching the sun play on the skin. Beautiful losers Tied to the handrail Lied to their parents I’m staying at Polly’s house again. Mystery come, mystery go. I change and I stay the same, I change and I stay. Mystery came, mystery went. I change and I stay the same, I change and I stay. Beautiful losers, Touching your lips through ocean salt Cry like a dolphin Thrown like a wave against the rocks. Mystery come, mystery go. I change and I stay the same, Laughing at the same old show. Mystery came, mystery went. I change and I stay the same, I change and I stay.

I fell off What do I gotta prove Hold on Something’s gotta make me move Roll on What do I have to lose? Someone Someone I never knew It makes me feel like my hands are sweating It makes me feel like I’m earning my reckoning It makes me feel like you’ll never forget me again
4.
It’s simple, it’s a new tattoo It’s a lightbulb, it’s a brand new sun Well that ripple came and Held the swell it’s been Fifteen years and I’m Still in hell. I thought I knew you well, I thought I knew you well It’s simple An unexpected space And hopeful Like a citrus on a plate
5.
Well the words do not speak The silence does not reach Only ants out on the farm Condé Nast and Southern charm I let you hold me down down down There’s always money for your Jack and Stella But not enough to send your daughter to the town Like a proper Cinderella Oh my hands blistered and bruised I am scarred now just like you I am last in the fold I am after the gold I have learned to build a fire I have learned to watch it die Are you evil? Are you good? If you’re lonely so am I
6.
Ramble around boys, ramble around I’ll be here waiting in our hometown Till the ice begins to melt Feelings that I’ve never felt A sheet of glass I laid on the floor Brand new boots from Brooklyn They’re coming in the mail Just to walk across my diamond door There’s not as many nights that I’ve won Not as many spots on the sun. Enter your location This route requires tolls. But my money all ran out before I even got a shot with my soul But the food was pretty good there Paper bags and cans My last one hundred dollars I gave it to my man to watch him Waltz across the fire at The fortune tellers stand with a Suitcase in his hand.
7.
Stand flat Look east Hand heart Ground feet All I wanted was to shine for god All I wanted was to feel surreal But the ashes floated from the paper And the woods burned to a field And if I stand alone here now That would be no fun All I’m asking of you is to watch the horses run Flat rock Field stone Split rail Gravel road All I wanted was to find a home here Work as a waitress in a country cafe But the buildings crumbled from the mason And the woods to a shaggy mane If I stand alone here now That would be no fun All I’m asking of you is to watch the horses run
8.
Boat Landing 03:28
I bought a second hand towel And a cheap bar of soap I bought a bottle of sunscreen And a cord of rope I wipe my hands on a bandana And swung on a swing There’s no one else here by the river It’s just my Shenandoah and me. Swimming on a boat landing Life is so unnerving Asphalt chunks and Campers fishtailing I understand why you left me now. Under your big umbrella You look like a diplomat In a goodwill swimsuit And a trucker hat Keeping track upon the weather Soon it’ll storm I won’t see anything coming When nobody is checking the radar no more

about

Mink's Miracle Medicine Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

Formed in 2013 by songwriters Daniel Zezeski and Melissa Wright, Mink's Miracle Medicine was named after a craft-fair drawing of a snake-oil-sales-wagon.

Mink’s continues to woo audiences, snake-oiling what a fans describe as “songs that feel like paintings” at venues like NPR’s Mountain Stage and Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Cafe.
