Red Morning Light
You know you could've been a wonder
Taking your circus to the sky
You couldn't take it on the tight rope
No you had to take it on the side
You always like it undercover
Tucked in between your dirty sheets
But no one's even done nuttin' to you
In between the hollers and the screams
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night ‘till the red morning light
You got your cozy little corner
All night you're jamming on your feet
Hanging out just like a street sign
And put a twenty dollar trick
I hear you're blowin’ like a feather
And then they rub it in your face
Oh once they've had all their fun hun
You're at the bottom of the cage
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
Hey hey another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
Uh hey keep on givin' away and givin' it away
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Happy Alone
On our way, so it seems, blooming flowers waltz before me
Rolling numbers, passing time, got to get outside the city
In the morning all will see, just how crazy young love can be
On our own away again, don't get down my darling
I'm gonna tangle my face hair, I’m gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the morning, they all cry to me,
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, and your cherry red lipstick,
Look out your window I'm on your street
Miles away, so unclear, almost lost it in Montana
Lets pull over, have us a choke
I love to watch you when your dancing
I wonder if they ever dream, they would get just what we gave them
All wrapped up in being 19, chasing stars that are falling
When that train heads home
They're gonna be so gone gone, you ain’t never gonna see me
I’m a gone gone, you ain’t nothing to me
When they shine them streets, they're gonna find our song
Wasted Time
It's your life
Don't you let them tell you when to bat your eyes
You're the only one who's gonna sacrifice
Makes no difference if you're right or wrong
Take that ride
But I want your little sister by your side
Maybe little later we can all collide
Do our livin' like a rollin' stone
Time on me is wasted time (3x)
Time on me is wasted
Innocent smile
Runnin' free
Baby's gonna give it like it used to be
Show your face
Livin' in the shadows like you got no name
Enough to make a little girly go insane
Be my guest to let it out tonight
But it's ok
I know all about the little games you play
Shakin' your apple right in my face
Only when you know that I'm begging fort a bite
So won't you show your face - show your face
Your little apple shake - show your face
I know the love you gave - show your face
I know the love you take - show your face
Joe’s Head
Blistered cracked and bleeding
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow
Lingering suspicions
Screaming in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred i just killed a man
I caught him laying with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead
Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet
Trani
Dirty belly of a secret town
Cheap trick hookers that are hanging out at the bar in the Greyhound station
And the bare-chested boys are going down, another thing that the momma believes
Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, help you feel not so strange
Said old Pa, “She don’t get off, unless somebody standing near.”
“And she’ll shine, once she’s crossed the line, cause all tied to the chair.”
I said, “Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten.”
All the bubbas got their heads in a nod, they don’t know what they love or deserve to get
Chances are they tab their worm in a slab, doesn’t even know which fish that he like to bite tonight, ah tonight, tonight, tonight
Ah maybe, Said old Pa, “She don’t get off, unless somebody near her.”
“And she’ll shine, once she’s crossed the line, hands all tied to the chair.”
I said, “Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten.”
Comes home on call, isn’t that peace, fingers in the dirt, and he’s spitting out his teeth (2x)

California Waiting
Little Mona Lisa laying by my side
Crimson and Clover pulling overtime
I feel too close to be losing touch
By givin’ in, what am I giving up?
Am I losing way too much?
Hey! California waiting
Every little thing is gotta be just right
Say! While you’re tryin’ to save me
I cannot get back my lonely life
I’m going so fast that I can’t slow down
It’s hard to get up when you’re spinning round and round
I’d give you the news but nothing is changed
I’d sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game
Spiral Staircase
Spiral Staircase going down,
Paint your body red and brown,
On our knees, we'll feast on tha sex show.
Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!
Greasy haircuts, a German Chinese girl,
Is gone keep ya'll busy, tugging at my curl,
A get your ass together,
You better walk, walk, walk, a by walking, we cannot run!
A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,
It gets frus-ta-rating, a just a pissing on this wall,
Seems like there's another story bangin',
Around every step you fake.

Molly’s Chambers
Free - is all that she could bleed
That’s why’ll she’ll never stay
White - bare naked in the night
And looking for some play
Just another girl that wants to rule the world
Any time or place
And when she gets into your head
You know she’s there to stay
You want it, she’s got it
Molly’s Chambers gonna change your mind
She’s got your your pistol
Molly’s Chambers gonna change your mind
Slow - She’s burning in your soul
With whispers in your ear
It’s okay I’ll give it anyway
Just get me out of here
You’ll plead - you’ll get down on your knees
For just another taste
And when you think she’s let you in
That’s when she fades away
Genius
Everybody wants to be a showman
Yeah they all got another one
Everybody thinks they got a genius
Everybody got me on the run
Sometimes I think they come here
Just so you can say that you can
And I can't get alone in my bathroom
I need to give myself a hand
Ya'll cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'
Creepin' underneath my skin
Fuck you and your flashbulbs
Snappin' my picture again
You drank all my whiskey
You stole all my smoke
And you're crowded all around me
Like I got nowhere to go
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill
Time for you to go
I'm-a-gon' spill
It ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here no
You keep stickin' to me like a prickly porcupine
You're gettin' your information from the grocery checkout line
Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession
'Cause I was only messin' and I had a little time
Dusty
Dusty and you are, dirty from chain
Lips of your kisses, are sticking like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I’ll cut you some flowers, now don’t be afraid
I’m looking for something, just sink in my teeth without any crying
But I can’t find no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap and love is divine
Home by the river, tall grass and fields, pond of willow oak, well for to kneel
Dusty O Dusty, decision night, don’t be so pretty, all laced up in white
Where thrills are cheap, and love is divine
Holy Roller Novocaine
My darling you look lovely
I’ve come to lay you down
Uncover your head and submit to me
We’ll make a joyful sound
I don’t care if you’re by yourself
Or you’re all alone when you need my help
Keep that smile on your pretty face
Cause you don’t have much I can’t take away
Don’t you worry baby
You won’t feel a thing
Close your eyes
Holy Roller Novocaine
Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)
I know, I know
Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)
You’ll be hearin’ me comin’
But I can’t come inside
I’ll be out back in my white Cadillac
Won’t you join me for a ride
Will go up to the mountain top
There I’ll show all the goods I got
Don’t look back keep your eyes ahead
This could be the night that the moon goes red
Repete refrão
All the world is moaning
And baby so am I
I’m just givin’ you warning
And I’m telling you why
Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)
I know, I know
Talihina Sky
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
Ruth B. draws we're fixing to get high
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum
But everydoby says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same, this town is pitiful
And I'll be getting out as soon as I can fly
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
The hopped up boys are looking for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time
Wicker Chair
In your little white wicker chair
Unsuspicious and nobody cares for you
You're so fucked up again
You laugh at nothing in the pouring rain
Try to tell yourself you're not insane
You fool, I hate you sometimes
Hey! You know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's dripping off your face, and you're losing your precious mind
Send me a postcard if you get that far
You got a couple pennies in your rusty jar
The truth you've been gone for awhile
And it's hard looking at you when you look that way
With your one night stands and your sleep all days
Ooh you're such a slut sometimes
Hey! You know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's dripping off your face, and you're losing your precious mind
You're losing your mind.
Slow Night, So Long
Slow night so long, she’s freching out the flavor,
She’s 17 but I done went and plum forgot it
No tears are gone they’re pooling on the table,
No tears are gone they’re leaving their mark behind
So far so good she’s absolutely wasted,
She’s hanging up and changing her story around
I just don’t know where leading ladies come from,
I just don’t known where they can be found
She’s opened up just like she really knows me,
I hate her face, but enjoy the company
I’ll take you home, or back to Oklahoma,
You’re not so nice, but the sex sells so cheap
Rise and shine all you gold-digging mothers,
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys
King of The Rodeo
He’s so the purity, a shaven and a mourning,
And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray
Straight in the picture pose,
He’s coming around to meet you
And screaming like a battle cry, it’s more if I stay
Me and your cold, driving in the snow,
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll
How dare you come to me like Withnail for a favour,
Hold on my fairy tale you’re trying to start
Take off your overcoat, you’re staying for the weekend,
And swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park.
Good time roll on
Taper Jean Girl
Aha shake taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake black as night on a Sunday
Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up,
I think he’s tasted, tasted the watcher
Heartbreak knockin’ ‘em down like the 7th grade,
Heartbreak, cigarettes and songs, with a winter’s chafe
Heartbreak keep like my daughter, and a run away
Aha shake tapered jean girl kills me
Pistol of Fire
Pistol of fire, pistol of fire,
Pistol of fire, shattered the frame
Go hug your sister, go love your sister
Go hug your sister one in the same
Aiyah where is it you want to take me,
Aiyah where is it you want to go Aiyah
Wrapping up the morning’s coming
Aiyah home before the rooster crows
I feels the water out in the cool grass
Down in the meadow under the tree
It’s gonna tickle, you’re gonna giggle
It’s gonna tickle, tickle for free
Milk
Salty leave, salty leave
Tell me the one about the friend you knew,
And the last good night that we tasted too.
Salty leave,
Saty for me, stay for me.
We drank wine in the matinee
And the spotlight showed what I chased away
Stay for me
She saw my comb over, her hourglass body
She has problems with drinking milk
And being school tardy
She’ll loan you her toothbrush
She’ll bartend your party
Kill me, kill me
I called and I called, but I can’t get through,
Said he’s on his own, but his own is you
Kill me, kill me
The Bucket
I’ll be the one to show you the way
You’ll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang, bang, bang
All out of fags and I just can’t wait
Cancel the thing that I said I do,
I don’t feel comportable talking to you
Unless you got the sipper fixed on my shoe,
Then I’ll be in the lobby drinking for two
18, balding, star, Golden, fallen, heart
Look at the shaky’s what’s with the blush,
Fresh off the place in my fuzzy rush
Everyone’s gathered to idolize me,
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It’s been too long since I left the shed,
You kick the bucket and I’ll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made,
Too young to die, but old is a grave
I’m a gonna show the way
Soft
I used to see you every day
Used to see you every day
I danced around your folk and sould
I danced to all your fucking soul
I left you with your nose bleedin’
And your toes creepin’ around
Ahhh so mundane and incomplete
Hand me down my pants and get me off this street
I’m passed out in your garden,
I’m in I can’t get off so soft
I’m in I can’t get off so soft
I’d pop myself in your body,
I’d come into your party but I’m soft
Behind the fringe of a whiskey high
Mutilating cat like eyes,
And in your noise blood decadence
You try to drag me into your bohemian dancing
You paint my fingers and you paint my toes,
You let your perfect nipple show
Razz
Just like the girlies back at corner stone,
Wash my bugle boy watching my throne
Sweet mutilation of a sold to nothing man,
Lord have mercy shake is falling through your hand
Razz the kid
Because you love me I’m the chosen one,
These are the days to not be having no fun
I listen back what you told me before,
Just tell me where to come, I’ll knock down the door.
Day Old Blues
Toss me a breath, when you hold me down,
Hot like a razor on my face
Something’s growing that don’t help me now,
Paging the doctor just in case
Low and behold, things are killing me,
Silly expectation of a dream
Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair
Boys are gonna hate the way I seem
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old day old blues
Peach Christmas lights spitting German ling,
Feels like a fast or homeless sleep
At least there’s a record that I’ll love to play,
Dreaming about a place I’ll never see
Betty, Betty, Annie is a praying,
Baby with a man like lung
Smell her crying fighting back a fever
Mad as hell give up
Four Kicks
Huffman don’t take no nonsense,
He’s here to rectify
He’s got his black belt buckle,
And the red man’s fire in his eye
You with your switchblade posse,
I’ll get my guns from the south,
We’ll take to the yard like a cockfight
Four Kicks whose strutting now.
This party is overrated,
But there ain’t shit else to do.
She’s a lovin’ on the boy from the city
I’ll be lovin’ him under my shoe
Velvet Snow
Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow,
Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow
Start in your story and I’ll go
Walking like you’re stuck in velvet snow
Glowing ‘cause you’re sweating on the floor,
Glowing ‘cause you’re sweating on the floor
Dancing like you’ll never dance no more,
Glowing ‘cause you’re sweating on the floor
And then you go, and when you go,
You get to going way too fast, and I’m so slow
Turn out the lights, she’s coming to fight,
And then she’ll go
Death row smoking getting to your face,
Death row smoking getting to your face
Showing off your something shaved and lacy,
Death row smoking getting to your face
Little Jo, she warned me not to call you,
Stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and I’ll just drown you,
Out into the city where you come from.
Rememo
On a place on a place
Off to see the city girls again
Only bringing what to carry on,
So that you know I won’t be long
Dripping beards as cold as hell
And the motherfuckers gonna go to jail
Honestly I can see
The giggling virgin overlooking me
Trying to put together what to say
Although it wouldn’t matter anyway
This rememo is set for home
It’s personal but they need to know
I’m overdue another round,
To garin control and take me down
You’re all tired up as you should be
And I’ll be cutting out naturally
Dripping beards as cold as jail
And the motherfuckers gonna go to hell
This rememo is set for home
It’s personal but they need to know
Where Nobody Knows
With hands in the air you look like the girl at the fare with the bubbly eyes.
Stonewashed shoe pulling at a rock but the rock don't compromise,
Come up to me say why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy?
Said thanks for the insults and compliments
You'll never forget my face no more
I can't hardly reach you and I know it's getting harder to be you.
So i'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
City ought to take you,
It would take a little second to break you
So I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows.
Looking pretty keen sitting on a swing,
That don't mean a thing at all,
Heals on my feet,
Are barkin like a pack of dogs,
Siccin' on a coon in a stall.
Take it for your word, take it for a ride,
Take it for the evening dead or alive,
Warming up the car packing as the pilots play.
I can't hardly reach you and I know it's getting harder to be you,
So I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
City ought to take you,
It would take a little second to break you,
So I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows - Jessica
Head like a stone,
Stoned like a rock,
Clogging up your nose again,
Papa's a searching,
Devil is a knocking,
Chills runnin' up my skin,
Here goes now.
Head To Toe
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Causation, Mississippi related, he's searching for the softball diamond
Prancing like a badass who never seen a church house,
Another jolly face in the choir
He's sticking on and kissing his mouth
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Screaming at the cousin that never gets no loving
The hairy monkeys covered tonight
Falling over tables, a black eye with no way home
And pouting underneath the street lights
He's sticking on and kissing his mouth
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
And no one seems to like it out loud
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh! He's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Knocked Up
I don’t care what nobody says we’re gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coup deVille she’s buckled up on navy
She don’t care what her momma says no she’s gonna have my baby
I’m taking all I have to take because taken gonna shape me
People call us renegades because we like living crazy
We like taking on the town because people are getting lazy
I don’t care what nobody says no I’m going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk but I love her like no other
And the doctor seems to say he don’t know where we’re gonna go
I’m a ghost and I don’t think I quite know where we’re gonna go
People call us renegades because we like living crazy
We like taking on the town because people are getting lazy
I don’t care what nobody says no I’m going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk but I love her like no other
And her daddy seems to say he don’t know where we’re gonna go
I’m a ghost and I don’t think I quite know where we’re gonna go
Charmer
Wow! She’s such a charmer oh no
Wow! She’s such a charmer oh no
Why she’s always looking at me?
Why she’s always looking at me?
Wow! She’s such a charmer oh no, oh no
Wow! She stole my karma oh no
Sold it to the farmer oh no
Why she’s always looking at me?
Why she’s always looking at me?
Wow! She’s such a charmer oh no, oh no
Born in West Virginia oh no
Married to the preacher oh no
Why she’s always looking at me
Why she’s always looking at me
Wow! She’s such a charmer oh no, oh no.
On Call
She said call me now baby and I’d come a running
She said call me now baby and I’d come a running
If you call me now baby I’d come a running
I’m on call to be there
One and all to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord you know I’ll be there waiting
I’m gonna borawl so be there
One for all we’ll be there
And when they fall to pieces
Lord you known I’ll be there laughing
I’d come a running
McFearless
Strain living with a name they get the best of me
But I’m no walker away
I DON’T complain I got much to gain they so they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face
They could go off and hit the road and what would I care
Hell I ain’t going nowhere
I got the reigns and courage I was made of
And they’ve got fake love
So I know I must show it’s my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It’s my role, it’s my soul
Pearls and necklaces and girls and all the pretty things
I ain’t seeking to have
It’s safe to say if I don’t get this out of me
Might quite easily
End up dead or just mad
Cross my t’s and try to dot my i’s
But that’s just blinding me and I ain’t living that way
I roll my sleeves to make a better man of me or I might easily
Just give up on this show
It’s my show
I must go with my soul
Not my hand where I stand
It’s my role, it’s my soul
I must show, it’s my show,
I must go, with my soul,
Not my hand, where I stand,
It’s my role, it’s my soul, it’s my show
Black Thumbnail
My cold cold sailor heart says get on your way
I ain’t too proud to say but that’s how I’m made
I’ll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can’t change
From runways to the road I ramble alone
This thumbnail size of heart is as black as coal
Though beauty it still brings me to my knees
Don’t waste a tear on me it’s my disease
Don’t leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue they make fun of us
So we take it to the street because we are an ornery curse
But we’re not here to make your children bleed
We’re here to cover ground with a tumbleweed
Don’t take these boots off me when you think I’m dead
I’ll still be running from the demon in my head
I’ll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can’t change
My Party
It’s raining on old yellow and it’s carving a path
So now we’re on our way
It’s taking us on journeys where we wipe away frowns amongst a crowded place
So why you never call me no you never seem to call me
Now that I’m OK
I’ll beat you in the end and every time you turn around here will come the coming of age
Ooh she saw my party
My cocky look emerges when you question my moves
Because you ain’t got no taste
You’re talking about my baby
I could flip you upside down and I could mop this place
So why you never saw me, no you never seen my calling right in front your face
I’ll smoke you in the end and don’t you ever turn around
Because here’s that coming of age
True Love Way
I want in like a substitute
I’ve been working awful hard for you
But you don’t say you just hold your breath
So I can’t touch what I haven’t yet
She’s a cold one and it hurts me so
It’s a dark path and a heck of a toll
She could kill me just like she did before
We’d be so free – Happy alone
Sharing a smile so far from home
Pushing and pulling weight
It’s the hard part but the true love way
Girl you’re wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man it’s a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face
‘Cause we’d be so free – Happy alone
Sharing a smile so far from home
And we would laugh, laugh till we cried
Making up songs you’re making me lie
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are walking this town
People say our babies are just wondering around
People say our babies are walking
Ragoo
And I want to say here’s to me to go and change the world
And I want to play until they are kicking down the door
And I’ll be alright as long as I ain’t seen as all
And I’m holding tight to that night we had a ball, we had a ball
Here’s to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They’re way too young but I’m way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain’t seen the truth
Just play my song and I will show it all to you
Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down
My pawpaw’s slave had to go and fight the war
He beat them all and then he took them all to court
My pawpaw called and he said do you remember me?
Now he’s working awful hard in his factory
We ain’t even been to the ocean
We’ve been running barefoot the streams
We ain’t even been to the ocean
Fans
Homegrown rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain’t got the slang but you got the face to play the role and
You can play with me
And all the bros
Try for the courage and try for charity tight clothes
She’s got a hat and all the hat says is asshole
She’ll be bobbing to me
Pretty hairdos and those lipstick kisses blown yeah that’s the right move
Make me feel like I’m the one who moves you
The only one you see
Now take it down and don’t you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
And don’t you be so scared that you can’t make a sound
Make a sound for me
All of London sing
Because England swings and they sure love the tales I bring
Those raining days they ain’t so bad when you’re the king
The king they want to see
The king they want to be
The Runner
Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus he says I’m OK
Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up the railroad
Railroad from hell to Maine
Why does she say she’s on her own?
I’ll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers taken blame
Awful sick and tired of the game
She comes from nothing
Hoping for a trace of fame
She’s got a birthmark
Birthmark the shape of Maine
And it’s cold
And it’s cold
And it’s cold when you’re near
It’s cold when you’re nearing the bottom
Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I’ll talk to Jesus
Jesus everyday
Trunk
What I’ve got – well she wants
A hurt nose a tight knot
And I’ve got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road
What she’s got – hell I want
And she knows what I’m not
And I’ve got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road
And she sang, woo..
What she’s got – hell I want
And she knows when I’m not
And I’ve got one mile to go
On down the road, on down the road.
Camaro
She looks so cool in her new Camaro
It’s black as coal and it goes boy it go go goes
I ver my bike next to her Camaro
And when I bite on her smile the she’ll blow and she blows
I’m making eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She’s such a brat now I’m packing her cigarettes
I guess I’ll take off these great sunglasses
And make her look me in the eyes before she’s taken away
Arizona
That taste all I ever needed
All I ever wanted too dumb to surrender
She shakes like the morning railway
Checking me out with someone on her shoulder
The lamp flickers in the bedroom
She must feel as awkward whorehouse Arizona
And I go
Stand up to a giant
Say that I’m a fighter
Too drunk to remember
My face is laying on the pavement
Tasting something awful
I hate when that happens
And she waves
Thinking that it’s sexy
She must be plum crazy
I kind of think I like her
Kind of think I do.
My Third House
How many souls will it take?
How many necks will you break?
I say, gimme the bones away
Gimme that little old shape
I say, hey! I'm sober from a bar
But you don't try me
Showed you my car
But I don't drive
Let me get away
On a holiday
We could, tire the ones we know
Gonna tie right on
I say, hey! I'm sober from a bar
But you don't try me
Showed you my car
But I don't drive
Tell me things we knew
Tell me down my back
We could, live dusty in town
When the sun goes down
I say, hey! I'm sober from a bar
But you don't try me
I showed you my car
But I don't drive
I say, hey! I'm taken it back
Like you don't know
You blow me away
When you don't try.
Woo Hoo
Love The Days
She's gone for the moment
I don't know wich way she was going
Lord, it's been
A long warm November
I know now she acts like her mother
I've been holding on here forever
And I don't know where she's going
But hopefully she knows not to come back now
Kicking the door get on the floor
Went on a woman prowl - woo hoo
Sucking and kiss the night away
When I'm taking back that - woo hoo
Baby you know, that I could just sail away
Gone away, so gone in the moment
Still can't tell which way she was going
Shaping up and growing right on me
Taking my advice like her father
I've been holding on here forever
And I don't know where she's going
But hopefully she knows not to turn around
Kicking the door get on the floor
Went on a woman prowl - woo hoo
Sucking and kiss the night away
When I'm taking back that - woo hoo
Baby you know, that I could just sail away
She's going to prowl when the storm comes
And it'll come, and it'll come, and it'll come
Instead she says, "Can't get none."
Closer
Straned in the spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart [I think] she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of veins
Showing me no mercy I'd do it again
Open up your eyes you keep on crying baby I'll bleed you dry
The skies they blink at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
Your shimi shook my bones
Leaving me strained all in my love on my own
Do you think of me? Where am I now babe where do i sleep?
It feels so good but I am an old
200 years of chasing taking its tool
And it's coming closer.
Crawl
Your fault my pride
Don't ever need to apologise
As your lips, unfold, shaking purpple from the cold
You better learn to crawl, you better learn to crawl
Before I walk away, before I walk away
You broke my mouth
The bloody bits are apitting out
Is your grave unscathed? The worm is couting down the day
The wants to see you crawl, he wants to see you crawl
Before I walk away before I wak away
The reds and the white and abused the crucified usa
As every prophecy unfolds
Hell is surely on its way
Sex On Fire
Lay where you're laying
Don't make no sound
I know they're all watching
All the commotion
The kiddie like play
Has people talking
You... [this] sex on fire
Dark of the alley
The breaking of the day
The head while I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
Your sex is on fire
Consumed, with what's to transpire
Hot as a fever rattling bones
I can just taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonite
Oh, it's still the greatest
You, your sex is on fire
Use Somebody
I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you, and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody, you know that I could use somebody, someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice, someone like me, go and let it out
Someone like you (somebody)
I've been roaming around always looking down at all I see.
Manhattan
I like to dance all night
Summons the da,y but that’s how I play yeah, that’s how I play
I said who are you? Don’t matter who you are
Just saw you dance all night and dance all day, I say
We’re gonna build a fire, gonna stoke it up
We’re gonna sip this wine and pass the cup
Who needs avenues? Who needs reservoirs?
We’re gonna show this town, how to kiss these stars, I say
We’re gonna hunt to kill, gonna skin the hide
A yelp and scream and away I ride
And every drop that spills on every plot of ground
It’s all for you, for what you found, I say
It’s gonna take your head, and gonna drive you home
It’s gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
And then forever roam
Revelry
What a night for a dance
You know that I’m a dancing machine
With a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I got lost in the light, so high I don’t want to come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I had found
Woo hoo hoo
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the harvest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask if you’re ever around
Even though it was me that drove us right in the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Born to run, baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind at my back I don’t ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me where the best of friends from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
And I told myself boy away you go
It rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods, in the dark of the night
The paleness of the hold moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete dreaming of revelry
Seventeen
Oh, she’s only 17
Wine and wine and wound up over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the scene
Brothers frightened when’s a baby gonna sleep
Hidden ship two sails away
It’s a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It’s the tick of our time and the tick in her head that makes me feel so strange
I could call you baby, I could call you dammit, It’s one in a million
Oh, it’s the rolling of her Spanish tongue that makes me want to stay
Notion
I’ve got a notion to say what doesn’t feel right
I got an answer in your story today
It gave me a sign that didn’t feel right
Say, don’t knock it, don’t knock it, you’ve been here before
So don’t knock it, don’t knock it, you’ve been here before
I just wanted to know if I could go home
I’ve been rambling day after day
Everyone says I don’t know
So don’t knock, don’t knock, you’ve been here before
I’ve got a notion to say what doesn’t feel right
I just wanted to know if I could go home
Say, don’t knock it, don’t knock it, you’ve been here before
I Want You
Get back on track, pick me ups and bottles of booze
The fickle freshman, probably thinks he’s cooler than you
A hay ride, a fire, everybody’s coming around
So go press your shirt, ‘cause word is there’s a new girl in town
I call shotgun, you can play your R&B tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
Land of the creeps, freshened up and baby faced shaved
But your eyes on me, and I know a place that we can get away
Just say “I want you” just exactly like I used to
‘Cause baby this is only bringing me down
Homeboy’s so proud, he’s finally got the video proof
The night vision showed, she was only ducking the truth
It’s heavy, I know
The black cat with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more
Just say “I want you” just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said “I want you”
I say “I want you”
Be Somebody
Taking to the floor with a reach to the sky
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
And I say you can’t get enough, now you can’t get enough
Given the chance, I’m gonna be somebody
If for one dance, I’m gonna be somebody
Open the door, it’s gonna make you love me
I’m facing the floor, I’m gonna be somebody
Now is your time and you know where you stand
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Now, no longer an ordinary man
Was this your big plan? Your gun in your hand
I say you can’t get enough, now you can’t get enough
Given the chance, I’m gonna be somebody
Just for one dance, I’m gonna be somebody
Open the door, it’s gonna make you love me
Facing the floor, I’m gonna be somebody, be somebody
Cold Desert
I’m on the corner, waiting for a light to come on
That’s when I know that you’re alone
It’s cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without a sound
You told me you loved me
That I’d never die alone
Hand over your heart, let’s go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I’ve always been known to cross lines
I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I’ve always been scared of the sound
Jesus don’t love me and no one ever carried my load
I’m too young to feel this old
Here’s to you, here’s to me
On to us, nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody but me
The End
I don’t want the street lights
Laughing at the grave
He swears he’s gonna give it up
It’s never gonna be enough
I just wannabe there
When you’re all alone
Thinking about a better day
When you had it in your bones
This could be the ned
I see you in the evening
Sitting on your throne
You’re playing with a fireball
And posted up against the wall
I just wanna hold you
Take you by your hand
And tell you that you’re good enough
Tell you what’s gonna be tough
This could be the end
Cos I ain’t got a home
Running from the street lights
Shinning on the grave
Once you’ve had the good stuff
Never gonna fill you up
I wanna be the one who
Gives them all a whirl
And gives them all the finger at it
Just a little taste of it
This could be the end
Cos I ain’t got a home
I’ll forever roam
No I ain’t got a home
I’ll forever roam
Radioactive
When the roll is called up a yonder
I hope you see me there
It’s in the water
It’s where you came from
When the crowd begins to wonder
And they cry to see your face
It’s in the water…
It’s in the story
It’s where you came from
The sons and daughters
In all their glory
It’s gonna shape them
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from… Where you came from
You’re the rose
That was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away
It’s in the water
It’s in the story
It’s where you came from
The sons and daughters
In all their glory
It’s gonna shape them
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from… Where you came from
Pyro
Single baook of matches
Gonna burn what’s standing in the way
Roaring down the mountain
Now they are calling on the fire brigade
Bury all the pictures
And tell the kids that I’m ok
If I’m forgotten
They’ll remember me for today
I won’t ever be your corner stone
All the black inside me
Is slowly seeping from the bone
Everything I cherish
Is slowly dying or it’s gone
Little shaken babies
And drunkards seem to all agree
Once the show gets started
It’s bound to be sight to see
I won’t ever be your corner stone
I don’t want to be here holding on
Watch her roll
Can you feel it?
I won’t ever be your corner stone
I don’t want to be here holding on
I won’t ever be your corner stone
Mary
Mary if you wanna
I’ll wave my right
I’ll be on the corner
Just passing time
No I won’t never once make you cry
Just a kiss oh I’ll miss your good bye
We’ll go to the disco
We’ll be a sight
We’ll dance like we’re boyfriends
In sheer delight
No I won’t never once make you cry
Just a kiss oh I’ll miss your good bye
No I won’t never once make you cry
Just a kiss oh I’ll miss your good bye
The Face
Beneath the dance hall lights
You seem a girl so sound
Lights up the ground
If you give up New York
I’ll give you Tennessee
The only place to be
The cowboy’s burning eyes
Don’t like your point of view
So don’t you shy away
Ride out the wave
You had me holding on another time and place
Ride out the wave
Buried yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave
The Immortals
The open road
The path of greatness
It’s at your fingers
Go be the one that keeps on fighting
Go be the stranger
Just put your foot in front the other
Crow like the rooster
Be all and all
Together something
Fear is a danger… I say
Spill out on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
The windows are the perfect picture
They’re always changing
Go on get lost jump in the waters
When they are raging… I say
Spill on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you’ve had enough
Carry on
Don’t forget to love
Before you’re gone
Spill on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you’ve had enough
Carry on
Don’t forget to love
Before you’re gone
Spill on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you’ve had enough
Carry on
Don’t forget to love
Before you’re gone
Back Down South
Come on out and dance if you get the chance
We’re gonna spit on the rivals
All I want to know is how far you want to go
Fighting for survival
Underneath the stars where we parked the cars
Ain’t showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls naked to their curls
Ready to lay in a coffin
If you want to go I’m gonna go
I’ve got a fire burning
Go on take my hand when we see the band
Baby’s gonna be a big one
When we see the lights and we hear the fights
It’s gonna be a stunner
I’ve got something here if you give me one more beer
I’m gonna call the runner
I don’t want to say what I have to say
Babe I’m kicking off now
If you want to go I’m gonna go
I’m going back down south now
Beach Side
Got an attitude
Thinking that it’s always right
Blowing smoke rings
Making me wanna fight
Then I look back
At all the things I’d ever done
And then I look up
Seeing that he’s on the run
Seeing that he’s on the run
It’s a big thing
Everything your heart desires
And now I have to
Try and outdo the fight
I caughr a big break
When playing in the role
I saw you laughing
Even though you know it’s so
Even when you’re on the run
No Money
Won’t you give me something I need
Won’t you peel me off the street
Go and wet my tongue
Spit me up and break me a fever
Give me something I can believe in
Give me something to walk me away
I’m a waste of time
And all in all a waste of living
Wasted living
Can’t you see me walking the walk
I’ve been down to the horns and back
And I’m way too tired of blowing out the burning candles
I got no money but I want you so
I got so much I cannot handle
I cannot handle
And all yhid pidding around
Cut loose in this fucking town
I ain’t coming back
I got my ticket onto the next one
I got no money but I want you so
And I want
Pony Up
I got a razor sharp mind
That wants to cut you down
A little place in mind
Maybe I could bed you down
Pony up we got a ways to go
Set me up my friend
I’m running low
Oh if you take my hand I’m gonna get you outta here
The crash of bottles breaking and the swinging chandelier
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight coming and watched her go
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight come and I watched her go
Yeah I watched her go
I watched her
Birthday
It’s in the way she always calls me out
It’s in the cut of your pretty gown
You’re come on legs and your panty hose
You look so precious in your bloody nose
We’re gonna come together
We’re gonna celebrate
We’re gonna gather round like it’s your birthday
I don’t wanna know just what I’m gonna do
I don’t care where you are going I’m coming along with you
Walking her home with a grassy feel
Falling and laughing at the drinks we spill
Just one of those nights that I have to share
Chasing your death without a care
We’re gonna come together
We’re gonna celebrate
We’re gonna gather round like it’s your birthday
I don’t wanna know just what I’m gonna do
I don’t care where you are going I’m coming along with you
Mi Amigo
I got a friend
Shows me all the good times
Tells me I look better
Chews me up and spits me out
And then walks my ass home
And sings a song
When I’m gone, gone, go on
That little friend
Shoots me up and downtown
When I can’t get me drunk enough
To pick me out the pieces
Of a place a call home
To sing a song
Till I’m gone, gone, go on
No. Go on, go on, go on
I’ve got a friend
Helps me to get up again
Showers me in boozes
Tells me I’ve got a big old dick
And she wants my ass home
To sing a song
Till I’m gone, gone, go on, you know son
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on…
Pickup Truck
Walk you home to see where you are living around and
I know this place
Pour yourself on me and you know
I’m the one that you won’t forget
In your denim eyes I see that something awry
And I see you’re a weak
When he comes around I see you’re fixing to shine and my face won’t speak
Hate to be so emotional
I didn’t aim to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said you call that a pick up truck
And in the moonlight
I throwed him down
Kicking screaming and rolling around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Trembling misery
And as a cold as a hole
I hug your bones and skin crackling woods gone white and my eye swoll up now
I can see the light
