Can you hear that lonesome moanin'
Is that you or is that me
My broken heart ain't aching for nothing
That I can't touch or I can't see
And do you hear that lonesome cryin'
Thought I made it stop it's singin'
But my hands lay there on the bottle
And I just drank till my heart would be
Too drunk to dream.
So baby you can leave if you wanna
There ain't no drinkin' when the bottle is dry
Sugar, you can leave if you want to
I ain't got no more tears to cry
Do you hear that lonesome shuffle
Of my feet walking out of the bar
And I stumble down the same damn streets
My daddy done stumbled before
So baby you can leave if you wanna
All the flowers in your garden have died
Baby, I'm gonna have to warn you
I ain't got no more tears to cry
Well sugar, you can leave if you want to
There ain't no drinkin' when the bottle is dry
Baby, I'm gonna have to warn you
To be evil is to be scared
Withholding all the things to sacred to be shared
Too many vultures and things to keep alive
Holding ransom on my piece of mind
That God is gonna give to me, in time
To be evil is to be blessed
With the sweet sin, self-duress
That only love can quarantine
Too many vultures and songs I got to sing
To keep me locked into a prayer
That God is gonna take us there
While I'm waiting here online
Feeling evil
All the while
1-2-3-4 everything is beautiful
5-6-7-8 gotta love to learn to hate
A-B-C-D I'm a little old machine
L-O-V-Es gonna be the death of me
I'm not evil
well traveling to the pointthat I, I can't stop it

never get enough

Through the open gates
she enters into the new world
Here bravery is peculiar
thoughts full of sorrow
With a great effort she
walks along the way
Sweat flowing in streams
down her body
Palpitations grow louder
as she approaches her goal
The mighty hill of lightning
she is expected here
Ride ride ride with the wind
Don't think about goodness
revenge is your aim
Revenge revenge revenge for the world
The dark time is over the magic will win
The wizard is invincible but far away
But his servants send her a bolt
And a hammer made of steel
The bolt will show her the way
And the hammer will fight with the power
Of the mighty wizard
Against the warriors of death
A white horse appears out of the dark
It will stand for all time by her side
Determined she rides into
the struggle for justice
The hell before her she is
screaming for revenge and she rides on
After some miles a horde of
dark shadows crosses her way
Is she hallucinating or

Storm brewing from the northwest side
Didn't ask about my daddy's ruin
Cause that old motherfucker ain't alive
See old mabel walk on down the store
Buying groceries to eat
Walkin on down the street

Said you came from a mining town
They closed the mining down
Said your daddy was a drinker
He had a picture of Jesus on his sinker
Maybe I
Maybe I'm coming for you tonight
This town's only five miles wide
Look everywhere there's a road sign
On tops and places to hide
And cops sit around hungry
Waitin' to dine

There's no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, words are severed
Feathers turn to weighted iron pillars
Midway Park
Streetlights shine on a hood that is dark
Down on the graves
Where we'll lie, we'll lie, we'll lie
I think of you tonight, I'll think forever
There's no way to predict this kind of weather
Ashes fall to earth, words are severed
Feathers turn to broken beads and pillars
Midway Park
Streetlights shine on a hood that is dark
Down on the graves
We'll lie, where we'll lie, we'll lie
Don't tell the truth, we'll lie, just lie
Don't tell the truth, just lie
Close your eyes, don't tell the truth
Oh where, oh where were you last night?
Looked for you at the county fair
You were nowhere

And I looked for you on the macon, georgia county line
And sheriffs badges flashed behind

Hang a picture up on your wall
Tighten all the nails so it don't fall
In this picture, could have been a picture of my face
Something painful, went and took its place
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
Drink your coffee in the morning
And at night, go and drink your beer
All along you don't feel so welcome here
And I walk by and you steer clear
You always said it'd come passionate here
Don't like what you see, you don't like what you hear
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will
Watch him think a while, smoke a cigarette and smile as I frown
If he can't have you, guess that no one else will

well, he was nearly died when he returned to the town he'd come from
he's hanging out drinking beer with his brother-in-law
he was a drinker at night, and in the morning he was unnerving
he was a drinker full time, the day that he lost his darlin'

The bar lights and the liquor
And the way all the bottles they shine
Well I got five more dollars, drink another
You'll feel fine

Well I got five more dollars, drink another

Well I've got five more dollars that wont make you mine
That won't make you mine
I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad
The letter I wrote,
Took words from my throat I was saying
Lay on the roadside
I guess the mailman was drunk
The message was urgent
How lazy a state where you don't live no-one
So I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
Why should I hate you?
After all, it's been so long
Since I've lived in town.
Let it go for now.
Have a drink at your favorite bar till dark.
Stumble into empty baseball park.
Strike one and strike two...
I guess we're both out.
Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.
Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.

Nothing's comin' to me.
You do this to me.
You do this and I oblige.
And I fight it.

After all, it's been so long
Since I felt your kiss.
Did it come to this?
Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.

there were bottles and pills
that were easy to buy to keep her warm
from the oncoming storm
well, I found them in thenorthwest corner of the attic
in a box labeled "Tinsel and Lights"
didn't know what I was looking for
maybe just a blanket or artifacts
Eisenhower sent him to war
he kept her picture in his pocketthat was closest to his heart
and when he hit shore
it must have been a target
for the gunner-men
there were stars in the sky
there were bunkers on the hill
and there were caskets to fill where he would lie
shrouded in the red, white & blue with the stripes
there were stars in the sky
there were houses on the hill
there were bottles and pills
that were easy to buy to keep her warm
one, two, three, four

Take your guns to town
Don't take your guns to town
Take your guns to town
Don't take your guns to town
Stumble down main street alone
Just gotten home with my hand on the phone
I was drinking alone on the quilted (? )
Take your guns to town
Don't take your guns to town
Take your guns to town
I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
In the daytime I'm lonesome in the nightime I'm sad
The letter I wrote,
Took words from my throat I was saying
Lay on the roadside
I guess the mailman was drunk
The message was urgent
How lazy a state where you don't live no-one
So I try not to drink,
'cause if I sit and think I'll go crazy
Desperate ain't lonely
Though I've been high
Pockets are empty
So, the factory girl she listens
For the sound of her daddy's engine
Till the work bell sounds and she leaves town
Oh, the summer's here are hot
All she seems to do is work and sleep
I wish that she was still with you
Chorus:
Now you don't know where she is
Lying in her mother's bed
Or who she's sleeping with.
Oh, the kids will laugh at her
Cause she seems so sweet and pure
Oh, I took this shift because of her.
Oh, I've never said a word
I once smiled and looked at her
Till the shift-boss said 'get back to work.'
Chorus:
Now you don't know where she is
Or who's bed she's sleepin' in
Put the houses in a row
On the streets we used to know
And all the things out in the yard
Beckoning there to and fro
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've an easy heart
And from the windows of your house
Reflects back on yourself
And it gets you wonderin'
If it means anything
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life for such an easy heart
You move away when you're young
They take away where you're from
And all the things out in the trees
Fall away into the breeze
And if the money isn't right
Can I be yours tonight?
I've had a pretty hard life
I've had a pretty hard life for such an easy heart
Easy heart
Easy heart
Easy heart
I don't know why we can't talk
Every time we try we get choked up
Running with the feelings that get caught in our head
'til I can't remember what it was we said
All my friends say I'm in love
is this what I think they're thinking of?
I don't know why we can't win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the end of the month
Not able to buy the things I want
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I don't even know they wouldn't understand
Taint myself with thoughts of leaving
Running out of things left to believe in
Running out of money and time
Running out of money and time
You won't be mine
I don't know why we can't win
Every time we lose we just pretend
Running out of money at the ned of the month
Not able to buy the things I want
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
Count my friends on my left hand
I don't even know they wouldn't understand
All my friends say I'm in love
Is this what I think they're thinking of?
All my friends say I'm in love
You think that you have found a way to ease your troubled mind
You fill a glass, then drink it down and fill it one more time
Well, the wine will flow and the pain will go but the spell will never last
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
Well, the bottom of the glass is just as empty as your life
You know it holds no secret way to help you in your strife
But for a while you're in another world and you wake up in the past
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
...glass
That bottle there is not your friend when it's gone it leaves you cold
The strength it gives you slips away for it's something you can't hold
Your hands will shanke and then you'll take another from the flask
But you'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
You'll never find the answer in the bottom of the glass
Trust is a weird thing
Make you crazy
Make you jealous
Make you wish you hadn't said a thing
And I guess I have been mean
But I'm only second guessing you
'Cause you won't even let me through
And I want to be happy
And I only want you
If you think that I'm crazy
I'm just crazy about you
Crazy about you
And love is a wonderful thing
Make you wanna
Make you need to
Make you wish you hadn't said a thing
Baby, I have been mean
But I'm only second guessing you
'Cause you won't even let me through
And I want to be happy
And I only want you
If you think that I'm crazy
I'm just crazy about you
Crazy about you
Baby, I want you
Honey, I need you
I know you want to
I can feel you
And I want to be happy
And I only want you
If you think that I'm crazy
I'm just crazy about you
Throwing rocks at a window
Stumble into a telphone pole
While the light shines down on your person
Filtering through all your aversions
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?
Looking into the mirror
Don't like what I see
Ain't looking like me
I want to be near her
There's no way in hell
And there's no time to tell
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Seen a lot of things we didn't wanna see
But I'm glad we did
I know a lot of times we fell out of line,
But we fell back in
I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
It took a lot time for us to find the words we'd mean
We spent a lot time before our dimes run out, nickel please
I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
'Cause we wont have to live this way forever
It's hard to compromise the things we have
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Talk to one to have faith
Money can not erase
I think we lost the keys to the kingdom,
Before we'd seen them
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Talk to one to have faith
you know it's just 10 seconds til the end of the world
where's my girl?
you know i thought i saw a star shooting out of the sky
must've been mine.
and all the debris around my feet
on your street
and it's just 10 seconds til the end
where do i begin?
it's not that easy
Heart's a field of beautiful flowers
Mine's a street with sirens
Sleep a lull of gulf in drifted feathers
Lay with weighted eyelids
I recognize the whispers though I can't tell the words
Learn to lose the darkness
With things I heard
Even I once knew I should run
Learned when I was young
Heart's a boat that sails on your ocean's memory
Mine is still on empty
I recognize the whispers
Though I can't tell the words
Learn to lose the darkness
Lovin' you has gotten weird
You'll see the sun hanging low down by your window
And all the rain left in the world
Won't bring you home again
Oh, Carol Lynn
Trusting you has gotten strange
You'll close the door when the cold has gotten in
And all the love left in the world
Won't keep you warm again
Oh, Carol Lynn
When you need a friend to be there for you
I won't be one who will help you out
And when you need someone who can let you in
You can count me out
Oh, Carol Lynn
When your life has worn you out
You'll have the past left for you to think about
And all the money in the world
Can't take you back again
Oh, Carol Lynn
well here you go again
you say you want your freedom
well who am i to turn you down
it's only right that you should
play the way you feel it
but listen closely to the sound
of machinery runnin'
like a heartbeat... drives you mad
in the stillness of remembering what you had
and what you lost...
and what you had...
and what you lost
well thunder only happens when it's raining
players only love you when they're playing
say... women... they will come and they will go
when the rain washes you clean... you'll know
well here you go again, display your crystal visions
i keep my visions to myself
It's only right that you should
play the way you feel it
listen carefully to the sound
of machinery runnin'
like a heartbeat... drives you mad...
in the stillness of remembering what you had...
and what you lost...
and what you had...
and what you lost
thunder only happens when it's raining
players only love you when they're playing
say. women... they will come and they will go
when the rain washes you clean... you'll know
< bridge >
well here you go again
you say you want your freedom
well who am i to turn you down
it's only right that you should
play the way you feel it
but listen carefully to the sound
of machinery runnin'
like a heartbeat... drives you mad
the stillness of remembering what you had
and what you lost...
and what you had...
and what you lost
(x2)
well thunder only happens when it's raining
players only love you when they're playing
say. women... they will come and they will go
Say no, say something, say anything
So that you can believe it yourself
Believe it yourself
Try again, try harder
Try to think of something so you can believe it
yourself
Believe it yourself
But breathe some sense into me
What I need is for someone to believe
You win, win nothing
You take anything so that you can believe it yourself
Believe it yourself
So try again, try harder
Try to think of something so you can believe it
yourself
Believe it yourself
But breathe some sense into me
All I need is for someone to believe in me
Say anything, do what you need
So that you can believe
Believe in me
But breathe some sense into me
All I need is for someone to believe in me
Say anything, do what you need
So that you can believe
Believe in me
Believe in me
I turn the TV
Through your window I'll take god's leap
That avenue understands everything
Nothing can stop you now
No one can stop you now
Through your window I'll take god's leap
That avenue understands everything
Nothing can stop you now
No one can stop you now
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
On your knees, derailed from some years
Picture me, across from your eyes
Farther out of million cities
Filtering obsession
No one can stop you now
Nothing can stop you now
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
Feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
It's all you can feel
Well, the girls where I live
They dance all night
To the sound of the radio
Blasting from the stereo
Rock and roll hair-do
Fan in the window
Boyfriends out of town -- what they gonna do?
Well the girls in New Orleans
They dance all night
In the bar with their boyfriends
All way to Algiers?
You take the ferry, and I'll take the cab
You meet me later and we'll know we been had
Doing the hipshake
They do the hipshake
Well, the girls where I live
They dance all night
To the sound of the radio
Blasting from the stereo
Rock and roll hair-do
Fan in the window
Boyfriends out of town -- what you gonna do?
You do the hipshake
Aw, man, do the hipshake
2, 3, 4 go!
2, 3 do the hipshake
