Dead Louise
04:44
|
|||
It’s purgatory; a dead end street
A turkey shoot; a lottery
It’s corporate cold; it’s like bad sex
It’s chicken feet by TV sets
It’s overkill; it’s crack and E’s
It’s underloved; it’s dead Louise
It’s making up; it’s cracking down
It’s Stetson spies on circus grounds
What’s coming next?
The times will change and I’ll be back again
These times will change and I’ll be back again
And you and I will both be beautiful
You and I will both be beautiful
It’s far extremes; it’s Babylon
It’s dog eat dog; it’s amazon
It’s murder one; it’s murder two
It’s murder me and murder you
It’s crowded air; it’s crowded parks
It’s crowded chairs and crowded hearts
It’s search for truth; search for lies
It’s to inspire; it’s to deny
What’s coming next (chorus)
Dead louise; dead Louise
Dead Louise; dead Louise
It’s back to basics; against the wall
Cynical cocks without the balls
It’s token pleasure; it’s token tongues
It’s sloppy business; it’s soggy crumbs
It’s exploitation; it’s expertise
It’s calculation then cups of tea
It’s empty vessels; dirty tricks
It’s entertainment and so be it

Street of Early Sorrows
03:54
|
|||
How I feel belongs to me; I decide if it’s going to hurt
I write down what it wants to do; I let go when I feel its right
Cause it’s mine; its mine; it might hurt; but its mine
Being born wasn’t good for me; being born turned me loose on love
Being born gave me bad ideas; being born killed my hopes and dreams
But I’m here; I’m here; it’s my turn; and I’m here
When you live on the street of early sorrows
You turn in your tomorrows
And love is only borrowed
On the street of early sorrows
Your life is alive and that’s a fact; you’re too far gone now to ever turn back
You can’t jump off of each lonely bridge; you can’t put all your clouds in the fridge
Cause you’re on; you’re on; it’s your turn; you’re on
You have a taste for the company of angels
You got a room back in Arkansas
I met you under an American sun; i turned up with a broken heart
We got too close to life on earth; we both found a way to die
And we’re done; we’re done; it was our turn; now we’re done
We got our kicks at the sight of Jesus
We had our fun with the son of God
When you live on the street of early sorrows
You turn in your tomorrows
And love is only borrowed
On the street of early sorrows
When you live on the street of early sorrows
You turn in your tomorrows
You give back what you borrow
To the street of early sorrows

Firing Squad
04:50
|
|||
Don’t you want to love me some more?
Don’t you want to take what you came here for?
On the road leaving town
Where that sign’s fallen down
I can wait for you there all my life
And the train that you’re on
It’s a long time gone
Like the days that you leave behind
And in my hour of need
No one saw me bleed
No one heard me howl
And in my wasted days
Time was not afraid
To be my firing squad
Don’t you want to tear me apart?
Don’t you want to wait till the light turns dark?
In the southern sphere of my deepest fear
Where the hills have their eyes on my soul
That’s where you can do your worst
Like a poet giving birth
Like a madman at the side of the road
And in my hour of need
No one saw me bleed
No one heard me howl
And in my wasted days
Time was not afraid
To be my firing squad
Now love doesn’t live here anymore
And I know what the world is for
Don’t you want to raise the alarm?
Don’t you want to say I have done you harm?
I can see looking back
That my train went off the tracks
And the world, oh the world wasn’t there
And I know now what it’s for
I know what waits behind its door
I know the loneliness has gotten to me (chorus)
Now love doesn’t live here anymore
And I know what the world is for
I know what the world is for

If Truth Be Told
05:10
|
|||
I can be seen in the sight of love
I can be mean with the stars above
I can be seen in the sight of love
And where in the world do you think you are
Changing your mind or just driving your car
I can be seen in the sight of love
And if my god could roll into Ohio
If my heart could change a dozen things
I’d be half as bad; I’d be twice as good
I’d be on my way if truth be told
I could be next to the one you are
Mixing it up on the road to Mars
I could be next to the one you are
And I can be held in the heat of the night
Doing it wrong and doing it right
I could be next to the one you are
And if my god could roll into Ohio
If my heart could change a dozen things
I’d be half as bad; I’d be twice as good
I’d be on my way home to you
But if all truth be told
I’m a lonely road
I’m the first and last fool on the hill
And if your eyes could see
The good I’m trying to be
I’d be half home if truth be told
I’ve never seen the light of love
Shine so bright in your eyes
I’ve never had the chance to know
What goes on in your sky?
I’m at your door
I could be shot in the sight of love
Doing my time with the stars above
I could be shot in the sight of love
And where in the world do you think you are
Living your life or just locking your car
I could be shot in the sight of love
And if my god could roll into Ohio
If my heart could change a dozen things
I’d be half as bad; I’d be twice as good
I’d be on my way home to you
But if all truth be told
I’m a lonely road
I’m the first and last fool on the hill
And if your eyes could see
The good I’m trying to be
I’d be half home if truth be told, I’d be half way home if truth be told
I’d be half way home…if truth be told

I'm a Good Man
04:37
|
|||
Then I needed love; then I did it wrong
Then I made mistakes; then I wasn’t strong
Then I hurt somebody; I didn’t read the signs
It took a human heart to change my only mind
Now I can fly; I can ride on the wings of time
Look through the years to find
The man that I know I can be
The truth that has helped me to see, that
I’m a good man walking around
I’m a good man walking around
I’ve got a good heart here in my chest
I’ve got a good heart walking around
I’ve got a good heart walking around
I’ve got all the things a good man needs to have
I got all the time to take the morning back
I’ve got all the thoughts that my new mind will need
To keep my feet on earth; to keep my eye on me
Now I can cry; I can see through the rain in my tears
Live through the life of my years
As the man that I know I can be
The man that is already free, and
I’m a good man walking around
I’m a good man walking around
I’ve got a good heart here in my chest
I’ve got a good heart walking around
I’ve got a good heart walking around
I’m a good man walking around
Intro
I’ve got the kind of man a good man likes to have
I’ve got the kind of hope to help me not be sad
I’ve got the kind of eyes to see things as they are
It took a human being to reach my human heart
Now I can live; I’ve got all my instructions for life
I can walk through the days and the nights
As the man that I know I can be
The man that is already me

I Want You To Go
05:18
|
|||
I’m confronted by your ways
I’m confronted by your days
And where you go at night
I’m surrounded by your charm
I know it does me harm
And bring me back to life
I’m concerned about your smile
I know it takes awhile
For things to come to light
I’m rejected by your mind
But your body should be kind
And take me off the ice
And I want you to know; I want you to go
I want you to know; I want you to go
I’m disturbed by what you say
And how you look away
From everything you want
I’ve decided you’re the cause
Of everything I’ve lost
But don’t think you’re to blame
I’ve been damaged by your chill
I’ve been damaged by your pills
Swallowed in your sight
I’ve pretended not to stare
and I see you everywhere
I recognize the fright
Instrumental
I’m prevented from your love
This disintegrating hush
Will carry me away
I’ve corrupted young and old
Stood firmly in the cold
And still have time to die
I’ve invaded many lands
You wouldn’t understand
The good I want to be
I persuaded you to stay
I persuaded you away
From my loneliness

My Imagination
04:01
|
|||
I was standing by an ocean
Using my imagination
I was waiting at the station there for you
I was filling in the ages
With my ink and empty pages
I was going to leave a century for you
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at you
Look at you
My imagination can see you
But I want you for real now
My imagination can feel you
But I want you for real now
I was watching Buster Keaton
I was in my flat in London
I was picking up the telephone to you
I was waltzing in Montana
I was working back in New York
I was riding on the subway there with you
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at you
Look at you (chorus)
I was thinking it was my imagination
I was really at the station there with you
I was thinking it was my imagination
Coming true
My imagination
I was standing by an ocean
Using my imagination
I was talking with the ancients about you
I was filling in the ages
With my ink and empty pages
I was going to leave a century for you
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at
Eyes and eyes and eyes that look at you
Look at you (chorus)

Tickle
05:12
|
|||
It’s just official, don’t have to look for answers
It’s just judicial, just for liars and tatters
It’s just defeated, it’s just admitted failure
It’s just perverted, a kind of strange behavior
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
Look into the light and see the dark
It’s just opinion, a sink or swim dominion
It’s just a missile, it’s not supposed to tickle
It’s just a killing, and you’re immune and willing
It’s your potential, just essential viewing
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
Look into the light and see the dark
How can someone hear what’s in my heart
Look into the light and see the dark
How can someone say what’s in my heart
Yes I’ve had it all before
Yes I’ve seen it on these shores
Yes I’ve had it all before
And if I let you through my door
I’ll just see it all some more
If I let you through my door
You’re automatic, inside your shirt and jacket
You’re democratic, as long as fashion has it
Suck on sunshine, suck on stars and static
You’re telepathic, that’s what I forecasted
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
How can someone say what’s in my heart
Look into the light and see the dark
Yes I’ve had it all before
Yes I’ve seen it on these shores
Yes I’ve had it all before
And if I let you through my door
I’ll just see it all some more
If I let you through my door

On Dark Days
04:12
|
|||
All the love I know I feel
All the things I know are real
Sleep like sisters in my heart
And all the feelings that I have
All the ones that didn’t last
Pass like whispers in the dark
And every angel that I trust
Every devil in the dust
Has settled on my soul
Oh I, I don’t care anymore
I can’t feel anything but myself
On dark days I can’t go anywhere
I can’t see anything but myself
Every desert I come from
Every wicked thing I’ve done
Has kept me in the cold
And every cold wind at my door
Every cold wind on my floor
Has told me I don’t know
How to love anymore
I can’t feel anything but myself
On dark days I don’t go anywhere
I can’t find anyone but myself
All the seconds that I’ve lived
All the good and bad I did
Won’t carry me to you
And every angle that I trust
Every devil in the dust
Has seen the way I am
Oh I, I don’t care anymore
I can’t feel anything but myself
On dark days I can’t go anywhere
I can’t find anything but myself
