Bit of This and That
02:56
|

|
Broken in jeans on a car seat
breaking up a heart beat
beating up a leather-denim heaven
on a rough street
She's a bit of this and that
I see myself more
the closer I go
closer and closer
she's the antichrist I'm sure
...but I have to know
A mind is a complex thing
streets are just places to be
Hotbed motorcade
driving up a hurricane
and now I can see
Devil dirt streaks on my car door
footprints on my car floor
showing off a lady's presence scented on my starboard
Her hair is blond and black
She seems to wanna settle a score
In the end I know she's bad
but god damn I want more.
A mind is a complex thing
streets are just places to be
Hotbed motorcade
driving up a hurricane
and now I can see

Lost Your Face
04:00
|
|||
|
I've lost your face
in a whiskey haze
a gossamer web
wrapped around the days
Not quite a handkerchief
but it makes me think
of dust and bullets and hate
a delicate thread of fate
I've lost your face
in a slow disgrace
dark absorbing skin
a gathering cloud, a rising din.
jacknife snap, carve up a lie
I don't want to try
I lost your face
In a stack of suitcases
a drifter's memories
that never took place
A sulphurous cloud arises
and the smell reminds me
of lust and gullies and slate
a desert love cast just too late
jacknife snap, carve up a lie
I don't want to die

King Of The Low Rents
03:55
|

|
king of the low rents
you've had your chance at life
you took what everyone gave to you
and turned to grief and strife
you said you'd change
you siad you'd change for me
you said you'd change from what I see
you won't set me free
kinf of the low rents
evertime you spoke you lied
you said you could and that you would
and then you didn't even try
and when ti got to be too much
I cut and then you ran
and all we had was a hope and a joke and a stupid selfish plan
you ran away
left usall alone
now i don't know if I should cry
or crawl back home
king of the low rents
you want it like it was
all the promises you made, all the lies you trade
thrown aside and left undone
king of the low rents
you ran as far as you could run
the rope is taut, the noose is tight
the knot can't be undone
like the hands
of another broken clock
you left us all alone
like a broken key in a lock

hush little baby, don't say a word
daddy's walked the whole wide world
hush little baby don't say a word
daddy's got your mockingbird, it's gonna sing....
hush
hush little baby daddy won't lie,
don't need the tears in your eyes
hush little baby daddy won't lie
i'll always say goodbye, so goodbye....
hush
hush little baby, don't be afraid,
i'll chase the monsters away
hush little baby, don't be afraid.
i'll be here till night breaks to day.. the sun
hush.
hush little baby, and hold me tight
we'll soldier on through, to the light
hush little baby and hold me tight,
walk with me baby, through the night.
hush.
hush little baby, don't say a word
daddy's walked the whole wide world
hush little baby don't say a word
daddy's got your mockingbird, it's gonna sing....

Sorry
04:47

I'm sorry
I'm sorry that you're not here with me today
You're in the place
where you wanted
to be
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that I was afraid, to hold you closer
To the place
where you wanted
to be
Well you're gone,
and there's so much left to say
You're gone,
and all our wounds, are left to bleed and pray
You're gone,
and they took what you left behind
You're gone,
and all I want is you.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that it's all, falling apart
it's delicate
I don't have the art.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that it so far from where we started
That it got so far away
from where we wanted.
Well you're gone,
and there's so much left to say
You're gone,
and all our wounds, are left to bleed and pray
You're gone,
and they took what you left behind
You're gone,
and all I want is you.
I'm sorry
I'm sorry that you're in your garden alone
It's only now, I finally believe
you're not on your own.

Spine
03:26
|
|||
|
The curve of your spine
tickles up my back
The softness of your skin
makes mine crack
You're burning a hole through my soul
Burning a hole through my mind
that I can't fill
You can have my body
wear my skin
You can have my heart
when I sin
You're burning a hole right through my brain
Burning a whole through the pain
that I can't feel
If you don't give in
you won't believe
Like you cast a spell
you'll burn in hell
and you won't
You won't see me

No More Glory
05:01
|
|||
|
all the misery and tears
that echo through the years
each one a choice
each one a voice
and each one the same old story
No more glory
alike, in all our fears
meshed tight, like grinding gears
each one, a time of love
each one, a time of lies
and each one the same old story
no more glory
each day, the same old tread
one more moment closer to dead
each with, their same old fears
each one , the same old tears
and each one the same old story
no more glory.

Yesterday
04:21
|
|||
|
another black hole
has opened up
forever deep in front of me
like a wide Sargasso Sea
a single thread in a woven tapestry
doing nothing is oh so easy
moving moving in and out of phase
save tommorow from the same old yesterday
through time and space
and another new face
all alone by your choice
still missing that single lone voice
a single thread in a tapestry of life
hold on and you better bring your knife
moving moving in and out of phase
save tommorow with the same old yesterday
hello, old soldier
will you take arms
will you break your rules
will you forego your charms.
a single thread in a woven tapestry
doing nothing is oh so easy
moving moving in and out of phase
save tommorow from the same old yesterday
the universe will sing
will sing you to your sleep
your song is nearly done
but your story carries on

Bag of Gold
03:08
|
|||
|
i carry my sins
like I carry a
bag of gold
i live my life
like the stories
i've been told
i used to believe
in it all for a time
now that i have it all
it's not really mine
i carry my debts
like a leper
on the street
it may not bring you hope
but it brought me
some peace
i wash all of it down
your lies and your hell
now that it's all that you've got
it's all that you'll sell
all the silver you gave
i gave away
i never had a choice
in what i would say
now your time has come
and mine is gone
i'm the loss of faith
that you'll pass along.

All I Can See
03:35
|
|||
|
face down in the mud
face down in the mud
looking for a piece of luck
face down in the mud
and all i can see
is the gap
between
you and me
and your gone
and your gone
and im left
im left to carry on
love writes in the sand
love writes in the sand
and time wipes away,
with his hand
and all i can see
is the gap
where the sun
meets the sea
and its gone
and its gone
and im left
im left to carry on
let's drink to the end
let's drink to the end
raise up a glass,
to my friends
all I can see
is the pain
that you left
here with me
and its gone
and its gone
and I'm left
I'm left to carry on.

The One
04:31
|
|||
|
We came here alone
We'll leave here alone
I'm the one, you're the one, we're the one
who won't be home
Now I'm the one
who's done with you
you horrors, you horrors upon the walls
I'm the eyes, you're the eyes, we're the eyes
who won't see home
We watched him go
the only one
he left us here, left us here all alone
He's the one, he's the one, he's the one
He's the one, the only one, the only one
who'll always be alone
The scent of smoke
the crack of bone
the light of flame
the smell of flesh
burning below
I'm the one, you're the one, we're the one
I'm the one, you're the one, we're the one
who'll always be at home
