This is the Golden Age
It's hard to imagine
with the way I feel today
that this is the Golden Age
The Golden Age
Somewhere I failed
Somewhere I lost you
in a black crowd of crows
and shiny things
I can't remember
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
The Golden Age
It seems like I'm high
but baby I'm crawling
in the unbearable days
I threw away
but I should have savored
The flaxen light
off of the dying wheat
Your rye whiskey mouth
and your dandelion teeth
This is the Golden Age
This is the Golden Age
Lyrics transcribed by John Finch
You were born
With it inside
A secret twin in your wounded side
Bits of hair
Teeth and String
And Yellow flowers
Open Up
Let it all in
Let the strange parade begin
A piece of pie
A piece of cake
For Every sister
Let the eyes of Mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of Mary
Carry you away now
A baby born
It's made of leaves
And Carried round the maypole tree
By Irish Girls
With jet black hair
And dark brown freckles
Let me bring
You bits of string
Tired and worn and sagging things
Under the weight
Of old crows feet
And the seasons
Let the eyes of Mary
Carry you away now
Let the eyes of Mary
Carry you away now
Let the Brides of Jesus
Carry you away now
Let the Brides of Jesus
Carry you away now.
Away now

Origin:
Bm-D-G-D
G-D-Bm-D-G-D
You can place your faith
in God my friend,
but no one knows his plan.
You can place your faith
in your brother,
but he may fail you.
So I am waiting for
that Sunday Train.
Place my faith in
southern line.
She may not be on time
but she will come.
She once was a proud one.
Stretched from sea
to shinning sea.
She may not take you everywhere
you want to go. But where you
need to be she'll agree.
So rest you'll weary legs,
they carried you all this way.
And climb aboard that Sunday train
when she comes.
When god banished Lilith
from the garden,
he gave us Eve
he gave us steam.
So trains climb
up every mountain
but never have they
or set me free.
So if your heart is weary
and soul is like mine.
Climb aboard that Sunday train

River Euphrates
Is longer than you
A wandering drag queen
A Hasidic Jew
River Euphrates
At Hollywood and vine
A Nubian princess
She's drunk all the time
River Euphrates
Somewhere in space
She's watching free cable
She digs microwaves
River Euphrates
Thinks she's a liar
I'll you forever
Love me a week
River Euphrates
You fell like a star
Hide you in Mecca
Buy you a car
River Euphrates
You black shiny stone
I'll love you forever
But you're never home
River Euphrates
Somewhere in space
Watching free cable
She digs microwaves
??There is like no other
And only one God
And River Euphrates is it
And that is her job

Chorus
Shake some action is what I need
To make me bust out at full speed
and I am sure that's all you'll need
to make it alright
It's take me so long
to get to where I belong
Lord don't make me send it back that way
Or I will make you pay
Chorus
You don't dig what I'm playing
Then I will go away
And I will turn around this little game
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
And all you liars come out
And all you thieves you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
These crippled legs will walk again
One fine day
This broken heart will love again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
And all you liars come out
And all you hoars you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day
And all you liars come out
And all you hoars you walk out
Come into the light of one fine day
Yeah come into the light of one fine day
Come into the light of one fine day

If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me, baby
'Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the gold
All that I am askin' is for ten gold dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man
Last fair deal in the country
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is, baby
Before I let my deal go down
Last fair deal in the country
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold dollars where your love is, baby

Don't you push me, baby, 'cause I'm all alone
And I know a little somethin' you might never know
Don't you touch our liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
Gonna wake up in the mornin' and go
Now, everybody's braggin' and drinkin' that wine

I'm happier this way...
But my life is totally empty without you around
Well my life is totally boring without you
Well I fell, but you fell much farther, I was envious
Around here, everyone loves you, cuz you are insane
So we started a band,
owe it all to our fans,
went somewhere near the top...
My life is totally empty without you around

Someday I'll get it right
Someday, well I'll get it right
Yeah, one day I'll get it right
Someday, well I'll get it right

Gathering out on the horizon
Don't be alarmed, they're just there for me
Just save me a place beside you

I don't know what the world mayneed,
but I'm sure as hell that is starts with me.
And that's a wisdom,
I've laughed at.
I don't know what the world may want,
but a good stiff drink it surely don't.
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.
Cause, what the world needs now
is a new kind of tension.
Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
but a V8 engine is a good start for me.
Think I'll drive to find a place,
to be surly.
I don't know what the world may want,
but some words of wisdom could comfort us.
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.
Cause, what the world needs now
are some true words of wisdom
like La La La La La
Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
and I never grasped your complexities.
I'd be happy just to get your attention.
And, I don't know what the world may want,
but your long, sweet body lying next
to mine could certainly raise my spirits.
Cause what the world needs now
is a new Frank Sinatra
so I can get you in bed.
Cause what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.

What did you do with your wisdom?
Well you loved that girl again, loved that girl again
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations?
What did you do when you found the man,
The one who stole your good girl?
Well you cut him up and down, heard you cut him all around
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations?
Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the riverbed
Stay drunk all night
It weren't no lady
With scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run
When they dragged you to the courthouse, boy,
What did you do with your wisdom?
Well you cursed the judge again, cursed the judge again
Who you gonna blame for your trials and tribulations?
Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the trestle bridge
With a .45

The things I lost, I left behind, I threw away
They're gathering the dusky light of reverie
Always with me, where I go, sweet company, or is it misery?
Sweet Magdalena, my misfortune, where are you now?
There's so many ways to go [L.A.?], you better [down?]

You can place your faith

So I am waiting for
that Sunday Train.
Place my faith in
southern line.
She may not be on time
but she will come.
She once was a proud one.
Stretched from sea
to shinning sea.
She may not take you everywhere
you want to go. But where you
need to be she'll agree.
So rest you'll weary legs,
they carried you all this way.
And climb aboard that Sunday train
when she comes.
When god banished Lilith
from the garden,
he gave us Eve
he gave us steam.
So trains climb
up every mountain
but never have they
or set me free.
So if your heart is weary
and soul is like mine.
Climb aboard that Sunday train
