Well I dream of a lady
Like an angel comes to me
And she cools me with water
Cause I'm scared of the heat
But when I'm gone lord have mercy on me
When I'm gone lord have mercy on me
Well I once held my promise
In the palm of my hand
And the twelve unopened letters
I should rest baby when I can ?
When I'm gone Lord have mercy on me
When I'm gone Lord have mercy, baby on me
Yeah when I'm gone Lord have mercy on me
Well you wrote to me
And you made me see
That love is real, and it's not for me
And I promise you
Oh baby, when I am through
One all of my crazy days, I will take you away
You know I've nothing
That I've got nothing to hide
See, I've been a little
A little messed up inside
And it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
There's one thing that you out to know
It's just got me feeling out of control
Cause you took me to my soul
And baby you don't have to go
You don't have to leave, no, no
When you speak to me
It's like a dream
And I feel every word
And I know just what each word means, yes I do
When you sleep with me
Oh girl, the safety that it brings
In my heart, in my mind
I will love you for all time, yes I will
You know I've nothing
That I've got nothing to hide
I've been a little
A little messed up inside
And it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
There's one thing that out to know
It's just got me got me feeling out of control
Well you took me to my soul
And baby you don't have to go
Never go away
No, no, no, no
Don't ya know, don't ya know
Well if it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
The thing that out to know
It's just got me feeling out of control
Because you took me to my soul
And baby you don't have to go
I said it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
The thing to you out to know
You just got me feeling out of control
Because you took me to my soul
Off the tracks lost the rail
Trying to squeeze a little blood out a rusty nail
When you're thirsty, thirsty
Behind your eyes you feel the burn
As your down hill ride takes a solid turn from the lonely, lonely
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly
It's like it been a long time in an empty bed
In an empty room with an empty head full of nothing
And all you got left is your skin and your teeth
And the red in your eye your six feet deep to get ready yeah
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly
The waiting is over
So lets roll in the clover
Time for a head full of stars
Lets pull back the curtain
I know one thing for certain
Well we don't have very long
Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We'll both get there someday
All you ramblers, you silk tongue gamblers
Listen to my tale
It won't take long to sing you my song
Full of trouble and despair
So fair thee well, you troubadours
Whose pockets have no lining
I can tell you that all pastures stay green
But you know that I'd be lying
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We'll both get there someday
My own true love is a raven haired girl
Who lives way back down the hollow
I take her by her lily white hair
And into the woods we wonder
Her daddy was a river man
As mad as a hatter
Her mama, she's as soft as snow
But that don't really matter
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We'll both get there someday
Sometimes a road is rocky and hard
Full of dangers unrelenting
Just take great care to follow your stars
Let the good times come aplenty
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We'll both get there someday
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We're dirty but we're dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule
We'll both get there someday
Did it make you stop and think
You're on the brink
And not to test you 'cause you
Don't know how far you'd o
Did you make a big mistake
You curse your fate
And you wish you could leave this life
For just one day
Welcome to the goodtimes honey
Did you bring your own parade?
Welcome to the big time baby
Time for a serenade
Did you say you lost your pride?
You tried to hide
But you're not strong enough
To ever get away
And it only goes to show
What we all know
That the tables will surely turn
For you one day
It should come as no surprise
Just realize, that when it all comes down
Never a heaven an age old question
Written from a cold place
I feel sour I need a shower
Or just a slap in the face
Circumstance has left romance
And a puzzle in front of me
Who knows the ending, if the truth need
Bending, A lie is the tool that you'll need
So I'm under a mountain
Stuck to this mattress
Perfume and valium
What makes a Sunday different from Monday
Could be a look in her eyes
In need of flattery she changes batteries
So that her light will shine
The words she utters either so flows or
Stutters
They're either silly or wise
Anger with concern
But never to yearn
Only to be by your side
Lay down with number 13
Put forever in your mind
Let go of space and time
Yeah, say it is we who see the deep
It is we that the less earn teeth
Do you even know this place
Nowhere is over
To find our way back to grace
Nowhere is nothing at all
Well, I have come from a hurricane
A messenger that the temp is praying
Eyes full of sun, hands full of sea
Anyone with the night just to help me see, yeah
Do you even know this place
Nowhere is over
To find our way back to grace
Nowhere is nothing at all
I said nowhere is nothing at all
Yeah, I said nowhere is nothing at all
I said nowhere is nothing at all
Yeah, I said nowhere is nothing at all
Nowhere is nothing at all
Well, I said nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Nowhere's, nowhere is nothing at all, yeah
I said no, said that nothing at all
I said nowhere, nowhere, nowhere
Go down go down you stranger
there's something waiting for you
Angels, dolls and honey
Temples and harpoons
You want your main line jesus
Your want your diamond
You want to pull the trigger
And kill the autumn home
So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Your word ain't ever done
Pray on pray on my brother
Nows the time for due
Black shadow come a creeping
Take the soul right out of you
Can you feel the demons puling
Can you hear the devils sing
Can you taste the poison in your mouth
Feel the weight of his chains
So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Your word ain't ever done
aaa a a a aaa aaa aaa a a a oo o o aa
So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Clean as a whistle
Smellin' like a rose
She got no dirty little fingers
Bloodshot eyes are gone
Tell me I"m wrong
Twice as Hard
As it was the first time
I said goodbye
And no one ever wanna' know
Love ain't funny
A crime in the wink of an eye
Your sister always singing
She play the step child
A broken little memory
Her heart was never kind
Tell me I'm blind
Yeah, bloodshot eyes are gone
Tell me I'm wrong
JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Back them up, oh not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more
JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
I forgot I found you tied up and swallowed
A mess with the magic and the knot
You touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite ya
Sin, skin, sounds wrong but it's not
Everybody says that you're such a pity
Well baby, they, they out to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya baby, they, they out to know
Touch from up above and touch between your legs
But which one, baby, burns
So you've been touched so many times so many ways
Come on baby, who gets hurt
Wake me when the day break
Show me how the sun shine
Tell me about your heartache
Who could be so unkind
Do you dream to touch me
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me, hey
It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes
My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
Are you wanting inspiration
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be
Do you hear me breathing
Does it make you want to screaming
Did you ever like a bad dream?
Hey, sometimes life is obscene
My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, they were thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, thorn in my pride
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Lover cover me with a good dream
Oh, let your love light, oh let your love light shine
Oh, I want to know, do you ever want to let it shine
Do you ever want to let it shine, baby
Your love light, your love light, listen
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Lover cover me with a dream
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Angels, my devils, in the thorn in my pride
Angels they, devils they, a thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride
Angels they, devils, they're a thorn in my pride
Got a chainsaw buzzin'
Who's that cussin'
Eyes start blinkin'
The boys all start their wishing
Left holdin' the bag again
Buring it at both ends
Don't believe she's a friend
Chorus:
Thick, thick & thin
Let it loose now, let it go to the wind
Got my clock tock tickin'
Hear the madame start bitchin'
See the boys itch itchin'
Do girls ever know what they're missin'
But it sounds like shit to me
Last laugh mine will be
I don't believe she is clean
Chorus:
On the first day of winter
I was set to leave
With the lost awe of true love in my eye
The wild frontier outlaws and thieves
To find me a mountain in the sky
There's gold in them hills
I heard the man cry
There's gold in them hills
For the taking
It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies
There's gold in them hills
If you make it
On the last day of spring
I first saw the sea
A poor boy with good luck on my side
Ready for riches
I rolled up my sleeve
And took my first step down my life
Had my wallet same old pocket
Sixteen dollars brand new shoes
Empty bottles sad turned daughters
What's a country boy to do
Tell dear mother that I miss her
But things are different now
There's nothing I can do
Your dark haired son is now long gone
Remember me
When you stare at the moon
I've broken my heart
Diamonds and gold
Through scandal through madness through cold
All I have left is this grey in my beard
This mountain and the stories that I've told
There's gold in them hills
I heard the man cry
There's gold in them hills
For the taking
It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies
There's gold in them hills
Let me tell you 'bout the book
That I've been reading
It's got all my favorite words
Let me tell you 'bout who I saw scheming
Ya better know it's not my girl
Let me tell ya 'bout what I've been seeing
It's the window to the world
Let me tell you 'bout the secret
I've been keeping
Said the oyster to the pearl
Are you sorry?
No not me
And tell me why should I be
Cause I've been knocked right off of my feet
And no I didn't even miss a beat
I never thought a love could be like this
Then she said my name
Now I'm wrapped around her finger
I'll never be the same
So let me tell ya 'bout the joke
That you've been living
Said the clown to the fool
Let me tell you 'bout
The wheEl that keeps on spinning
Said the teacher to the school
Are you worried?
Well could be, cause I'll tell you what I've seen
I've weathered storms that would sink most ships
Yes I know when to button my lip
Offer me a melody
Pour a cup of wine
Spill your deepest memory
Hey boys, buzzin' bee stingin'
Ringing ears never gonna' stop
Stand tall sickness creeping right on
Struttin' blues gonna' find me again
Got my head spinnin' round
Wonderin' when it's gonna stop
Got my head spinnin' round
Wonderin' when it's gonna stop
Out there, breeze is finally blowing
No tellin' when the train pulls in
My baby got her engine hummin'
Struttin' blues gonna' find me again
(Repeat Chorus 3 times)
Hey boys, hanging on the corner
Where you hidin' when the lights go dim
This thing lightin' got your thunder want to crack'n
Struttin' blues want to find me again
If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward
No need for heroics I just want you to show it
Now's the time to shine
Your independence is a half ass deliverance
The train left the station
The recognition of the same old condition
Your symptoms showing through
Well regardless of the truth
You still act so aloof
In the face of your judge & jury
You have the nerve to say not guilty
But can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones
Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century
By courtesy of your mother
The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery
Look at what money can buy
Sons & daughters better open your eyes
Tell me what you're seeing
This submission is a tired tradition
It's everyone's sacrifice
Well believe you me
I've got nothing up my sleeve
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder
Yes I'm young and don't like getting older
Yeah but can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones
Come on my sweet little thing
What new things can you show me today
I got one question
I believe it's subjective
What is a wasp without her sting?
I don't want to sound bitter
Yeah you touch me just like murder
Living ain't so easy
When all I want from you is to sting me
Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear
Make my honey
Grind that salt before the rains come this year
Make it all muddy
So now you have called
And now you want to ring my neck
Oh baby you talk so tight
Tell me now who's all wet
I could kiss your promiscuous mind
My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear
Make us all alone
Wind your watch and bless all my prayers
Make ready to get home
Oh now you get so hard
Now you ring my neck
Now you wanna talk so tight
Tell me who's all wet
I could kiss your promiscuous mind
I could kiss your promiscuous mind
Yes I could
I have four lone stars
That you have given me
Yeah, why don't you give it baby
Well, the feeling you're giving baby
Tell me, what you give away
If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward
No need for heroics I just want you to show it
Now's the time to shine
Your independence is a half ass deliverance
The train left the station
The recognition of the same old condition
Your symptoms showing through
Well regardless of the truth
You still act so aloof
In the face of your judge & jury
You nave the nerve to say not guilty
But can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones
Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century
By courtesy of your mother
The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery
Look at what money can buy
Sons & daughters better open your eyes
Tell me waht you're seeing
This submission is a tired tradition
It's everyone's sacrifice
Well believe you me
I've got nothing up my sleeve
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder
Yes I'm young and don't like getting older
Yeah but can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones
Come on my sweet little thing
What new things can you show me today
I got one question
I believe it's subjective
What is a wasp without her sting?
I don't want to sound bitter
Yeah you touch me just like murder
Living ain't so easy
When all I want from you is to sting me
Under the weather
I never got better
Wrapped up in my disease
Mile away, she want to count my day
Look a little older in the light
Under the weather
Feelin' very heavy
Never up for no air
Sea legs start to wigglin'
And sick I'm still feelin'
Just know I never cared
Don't you want to feel it
Don't you want to stare it cold
Don't you want to feel it
Don't you want to stare it cold
Never thought about it
And never no questions
Seein' where I've gone wrong
No kiss made it magic
'Cause that old girl has had it
I've been down
Cascading and blue w/out a sound
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown
So feed me milk & honey
Lay me down
Lay me down
Look around
Show me holy places not yet found
Let's disappear and we'll hide underground
We'll get high and we'll feel safe & sound
It comes around Arayayayound
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing
Home bound
Tired of tired of running town to town
Tired of my heart turned upside down
Now my life's a smile not a frown
The sound
To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with relatives
And empty saviours like you
I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
That you easily tricked me into
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've no time for accusations
Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do.
Just a note from your jailor
Drugs and the relations
To all the people around you
You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm
I've kept secret your superstitions
And all its twisted wisdom
That I fell into
worried sick my eyes are hurting
to rest my head I'd take a life
outside the girls are dancing
'cause when you're down it just don't seem right
feeling second fiddle to a dead man
up to my neck with your disregard
like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway
no one wants to hear you when you're down
Chorus:
sister luck is screaming out
somebody else's name
sister luck is screaming out
somebody else's name
a flip of a coin
might make a head turn
no surprise, who sleeps
held my my over a candle
flame burnin' but I never weep
chorus
what a shame
I've been lost in the headlights
All night long
Said I've felt taller, yes I heard
The dealer's song
Say babe don't mark me absent
I only missed out by a fraction
Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on this ground
Say don't pretend to me
I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
Thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong now I see
Come on baby and just do me if you please
This made me reminiscing
About the honey we made
I feel warm in your blizzard
And your flood I crave
I won't abuse my anger
I promise you no lecture
Come be the sun bursting through my clouds
I find it hard to shed a tear
You brought it all on yourself my dear
Wrong, yes I may be
Don't leave a light on for me
'Cause I an't comin' home
It hurts me baby to be alone
Yes, it hurts me baby
A hundred years will never ease
Hearing things I won't believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that I can't hide
And this pain starts in my heart
And this love tears us apart
You won't find me bent down on my knees
Ain't bendin' over backwards baby
Not to please
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time, oh yeah
I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life
I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry ain't nothin' to me
I'm gone and that's the way it must be
So please I've done my time
Lovin' you is such a crime
You won't fine me down on, on my knees
Won't fine me over backwards baby
Just to please
'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I"m seeing things for the first time
Seeing things for the first time
Oh I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, I'm seeing things for the first time
Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away
Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck
A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that
Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me
I bet you please
Come set me free
Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still are my convictions
Urgently I wait to hear an answer
While I misconduct
A sad lost anthem
An anthem like you have never heard
It's a trip y'all
Git hip to this y'all
It will git ya'll
Gonna hit y'all
Never quit y'all
Right in the middle of our minds
The bug that bit y'all
Make ya itch y'all
Inch by inch y'all
Til your tall y'all
See it all y'all
Near and far y'all
We won't ever let it drag
This funny feeling got me reeling
Like I'm walking on the ceiling
Do it to me now
Ozone mama lay your daddy down
Under the stars right down on the ground
Mother nature got me thinking
'Bout the love that you've been bringin'
Do it to me now
C'mon the ride y'all
We provide y'all
It's like this y'all
Never miss y'all
Git up and go y'all
Ya never know y'all
We be the bottom of your bag
Give a call y'all
Anytime y'all
Don't be slow y'all
Ya gotta know y'all
On with the show y'all
Bring it all y'all
We don't ever have to brag
Well you got this poor boy thinking
Your lovin cup I've been drinking
Your words buzz around my head
You make me feel warm again
You are my lover, my song, my best friend
I don't want this to ever end
You hold my heart in your hands
Our home is like a promised land
I just want you, just want you to understand
Only a fool would let you go
Only a fool and I should know
Only a fool would let you go
I need you so baby please don't go
When we're lying in our big old bed
We wake up just to fall asleep again
When I dream of the time we've spent
It makes me so happy I just can't quit
I see the love in your eyes
It will stay there the rest of our lives
And after that, and after that
From the moment you see
The moment you breath
The moment I touch you
From the moment you crawl
The moment you fall
The instant I loved you again
From the moment of darkness
The moment of light
The second I kissed you
From the moment I enter
The moment I leave
In this moment of rapture
One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right
From the moment you stumble
The moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
The moment you know
Diamonds hold mirrors and spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby since I've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it maybe and give me one more kiss
Ooh, I like it like this, oh, I like it like this
Oh Josephine you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine your eyes are blue
And I know now there's no turning back
Oh Josephine what will we do?
Still dreaming through the comedown, still filling every page
Come on and touch me baby before I turn to rust
You know there ain't no other, it's not a matter of trust
It's just sometimes love ain't enough, oh, love ain't enough
Oh Josephine you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine your eyes are blue
And I know now there's no turning back
Oh Josephine what will we do?
For a while I was dealing in tears and powders
For a spell I was strung out beyond my means
Well, I lost at love while climbing down the ladder
Just looking for the song to set me free
No waiting for redemption, no leaving love behind
You got to know where you wanna be, it gets cold outside
It's too late to play it safe so let's let it all ride
Yeah, let's let it all ride, let it all ride
Josephine you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine your eyes are blue
And I know now there's no turning back
Oh, Josephine what will we do? Yeah
Josephine I know you're dressed in black
Oh Josephine your eyes are blue
And I know now that there's no turning back
You come in the room and you close the door
And you let me see what you're really here for
Then you lay me down in an unmade bed
And you show me things that aren't easily said
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
I'm gone and you can't catch me
There's no use lying
Because I've heard all your bullshit before
You've said your old line for the very last time
Don't want you round my backdoor
She says my name and it takes me away
A kiss on my brow and I'm here to stay
When the clock chimes twelve
And we're down on the floor
She tells me things I've never heard before
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son
A doctor laughs in the face of disease
I never once heard a preacher say please
And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me.
Policemen who break the laws
Politicians rise and fall
A baby crying for its mothers milk
A daddy's secret hidden guilt
And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son
A doctor laughs in the face of disease
I never once heard a preacher say please
And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me.
Policemen who break the laws
Politicians rise and fall
A baby crying for its mothers milk
A daddy's secret hidden guilt
And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Nebakanzer never knew
He left his needle outside in the rain
And it rusted through
He had twenty-nine blackbirds
But only one flew
Spent most of his time making holes
And licking his wounds
Nebakanezer lost his wife
She took her diamond rings and was
Gone before the light
She left one satin shoe and a
Very dull knife
She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife
So tell us what the sorry singer
Might do
All of his friends complain
That they got the flu
They ain't sick in the head
They look like the living dead
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
It's all right brothers
It's all right
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
The wheel within the wheel
The water below the well
Keep the curtain drawn and the record on
And the curtain what do you say
Bring the bottle here
Make the real unreal
And lets go out and play
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
We all get down sometimes
Starting to show me
Starting to know me
Starting to feel the shine
Starting to let go
Now that we know
Time to move it on down the line
The exit marks the hex
That moves from next to next
Keep your head on tight
To make it thru the night
You got to make a friend along the way
So cover up your tracks
And avoid a tax
And you'll live to love another day
It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
We all get down sometimes
Starting to show me
Starting to know me
Starting to feel the shine
Starting to let go
Now that we know
So come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
I've got something to tell you
You're secret I will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why won't you look me in the eye
I'm just trying to help you
I just need to know why
Please won't you let me try
Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, be my friend
Be a miracle to me
I want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind you're smile I keep
Head over heels I go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
You, with your fast and furlined mind
With your disregard of time, virtue, horizon
Here where the angels never sleep
Where the water's dark and deep
You breathe molasses
Midnight from the inside out
Turn around and they all fall down
Screaming red and the lights go out
Turn around and they all fall down
You, madness dripping from your tongue
While starting at the sun
You speak explosion
Up, with the flies around the moon
You jump jump here
You jump jump there
You jump jump jump everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You shake shake here
You shake shake there
You shake shake shake everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top
You wiggle wiggle here
You wiggle wiggle there
You wiggle wiggle wiggle everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
Picture yourself on a boat in a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shores
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Every time I fall
I bring you along
Because I need you there
Every time I leave
For my selfish things
I know I'm wrong
No matter what I want to believe
Nothing like this comes easily
I love you, yes I love you
Even though I know I should stay away
Because I hate you, yes I hate you
Even though it looks like I'm going to stay
And I think that I'm losing my mind
My time in the dark
Was tearing me apart
And that's not okay
A man of blood and bones
Alone on his throne
could walk away
Oh how your web has been spun
And I'm out of my mind
Dry bread on the table
Burn the mill salt the paper
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone
Sad eyes, weeping willow
Black cat blues, blacked out window
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone
Just a glimpse of what love could be
Once a dream that I owned
What of many lonely longing souls
At least I'm not alone
Well at least I'm not alone
Ripe off the vine now lay rotten
Like a dead end street forever forgotten
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
Your eyes they look like two bullet holes
And you don't ever say maybe
You knock me out with the way you talk
I like the way you say "Baby"
You want a mouthful of scorpio
Yeah, but my poison be tasty
You bite my finger and say 'control'
You won't let me be lazy
Night and day like a mule I'm kickin'
Girl you gonna catch a lickin'
Fire out of the mouths of babes
Got you actin' so crazy
Doorknob queen of the underage
Got me rantin' and ravin'
See the bruise you left on my page
Now the game's getting tricky
Left alone in my own parade
While the bomb just keeps tickin'
Do you want to do it all with me
Do you want to scream and bleed for me
You can have all of me, all of me
Your teeth taste just like razorblades
Yeah you got my tongue ready
You fill me up with your politics
Hey there buddy
Slow down for me
I'm friendly and I'm clean
I will not rob you or cause you misery
Your wheels sound good to me
I ain't green with travel
As you can see
I only got one bag
If I am trouble drop me off
In Abilene
I'll pay my gasoline
Let me share the ride
Let me share the ride
It's hard living on travel time
Please let me share your ride
I never was a young man
Never felt old
This life is a mystery
My coffee's hot not cold
I'll turn your dashboard gold
Slow down take a look at me
I'm not not running from anything
I've no past to hide
I've got no secrets haunting me
Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile
Do you remember when it started
You had a dream
Now you never talk about it
Your fame & riches were everything
No matter what the cost
Now you wish you hadn't blown it
Well lay it all on me
Lay it all on me
Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile
I came to see how you were doing
It's been awhile
Lookin back over your shoulder
You were restless and you were wild
Always running away
Once was young now is older
Lay it all on me, lay it all on me
Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just come out and say it
Spit the words out of your mouth
It needs no explaining
'Cuz we both felt it go south
Just stop kickin' my heart around
For the last time
Stop kickin' my heart around
Well I told you so
Not it's time to go
Got to get this show on the road
Just stop kickin' my heart around
In the beginning
There was no wrong you could do
Now in this ending
It ain't funny
It ain't cute
Can't be conceit, there's an ??
Oh no, but things dont' work that way baby
Dont' click your heels
Don't give a hoot
Don't want a twenty-one gun salute
Never do
Tell me, tell me baby what you want
You suggested that we bury the ??
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Too ugly for beauty
Too ??
You take what you get
To be a horseman of you
Oh, no don't you take your trust on baby
You suggested that we bury the ??
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Baby shakes his rattle
'Cos he's emptied his bowl
Don't know what he's eating
But he does what he's told
Oh yes he does
They all say the boy be crazy
You suggested that we bury the ??
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
Cheat the odds that made you
Brave to try to gamble at times
Well I feel like dirty laundry
Sending sickness on down the line
Tell you why
'Cause I'm jealous, jealous again
Thought it time I let you in
Yeah, I'm jealous, jealous again
Got no time, baby
Always drunk on Sunday
Try'n to feel like I'm at home
Smell the gasoline burning
Boys out feeling nervous and cold
(Repeat 1st Chorus)
Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of losing face
Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of ever losing faith in you
Never felt like smiling
Sugar wanna' kill me yet
Find me loose lipped and laughing
Singing songs ain't got no regrets
(Repeat 1st and 2nd Chrous)
Don't you think I want to
Don't you think I would
Don't you think I'd tell you baby
If I only could
Am I acting crazy
Am I just too proud
Am I just plain lazy
No matter what road I take
No matter what laws I break, I still
I keep singing these songs
No matter what my mistakes
No matter how high the stakes, I won't
I won't ever fold
And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see
I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see
No matter what words I write
No matter no wrong nor right, you still
You listen anyway
No matter where I sleep tonight
No matter if the stars if the stars shine bright, I know
That I'm on my way
And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see
I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see
Alone is just alone
Tell me what's a happy home
Tell me what's a wasted year
When you lose, when you lose all of your fears
Tell me
And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see
I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see, now I see, now I....
I know, I know that it must over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
How much for your wings?
How much for your wings?
Well it comes and it goes
How much for your wings?
And it's high and low
How much for your wings?
I can name a price
How much for your wings?
Many forget their pride
If I were you and and you were me
We'd know
And could it be what you perceive
Is wrong?
And what I mean what wrong could be
I don't know
I'm not naive but I believe
So I may grow
How much for your wings?
The soul you kiss good-bye
How much for your wings?
Watch the stars collide
How does it feel
It's been tough, livin rough
But you're here stay
Six feet under the ground
Is not as hard as it sounds OK
Gittin' high, seein' with three eyes on a rainy day
Been dusted, busted, blown away
Gittin' in your ear, nothin' to fear
Let the music play
Big or tall, it's gonna hit you all
Or get out the way
Come along baby, soundin' strong baby
What I say
We all got lines and at the end
We all gotta pay
Young man crazy
Old man wise
Some folks real
Some just jive
Young man crazy
Old man wise
Sun stars earth
Moon sky tides
Murder in mind and this time baby it's for real
Take the devil aside it's time to make the deal
Wash the blood if you want
But the truth you can't conceal
