Well I'm Cryin' Dear

Well I'm nothing but a lick on a string
Darling, for a, dirty busy desert do I sing
And oh you little lady dead upon your door
Die for me, and I will sleep no more
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
For every little word I'm trying to say
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
Hear the pretty song I'm gonna play
Oh you desolation sure shot to your knees
I'm begging, howling, come on darling please
You walk in bloody walls in bitter dreams
Shout for you oh honey shout for me
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
For every little word I'm trying to say
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
Hear the pretty song I'm gonna play
Well this one night, all right, bright light, story's one
That leaves you with a burning sense of fun
Oh yes let me leave oh take me far away
Oh won't you just forget me for a day
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
For every little word I'm trying to say
Well I'm cryin' dear (2x)
Hear the pretty song I'm gonna play (3x)

Live My Life For Them
04:20

I made my stand
But I don't leave
I wait behind
But I don't breath
Tremble, I remember
A glorious day
And she knows me,
What would I say?
And I'm feeling, so amused
Among the dunes
Buried, fast
I'll see you soon
I can't go anymore
This isn't real
The piper calls me
But I don't feel
My eyes are blue
Only for you
The colors and hours,
Tick, roaring flowers
In my ears, they shuffle down
Leave me haunting,
Shouting the sound
And I'm dying
In unusual ways
I see them
I'll see you today

Cherry Red/Bitter Ends
06:41
|
|||
|
The door is cherry red to me,
But that goes dripping by, slightly,
Rushing through an empty ditch
For all the world's unkindly bitch.
We go to work, we drive around,
Meander without sight or sound
Until they come to cherry red
We're all here to lose our heads
I'm still smiling through the night
I left behind my golden light
My girls and twilight's in the back
From cherry red I fade to black
For an hour what's a name
What's in that shiny hallow game
That waits for me to hug and kiss
The ones that I will surely miss.
We skip and float on broken shores
That tumble, leaning at the door
For cherry red's my hideaway
From the bombs of happy days
I'm still smiling through the night
I left behind my golden light
My girls and twilight's in the back
From cherry red I fade to black
(Bitter Ends)
Tuesday's girls are pretty high
In the summer streets they fly
And we all smile and gasp at them
Until they meet their bitter ends
Wednesday's boys are pretty far
In the city lands bizarre
And we all want to be like them
Until they meet their bitter ends
I'm still smiling through the night
I left behind my golden light
My girls and twilight's in the back
From cherry red I fade to black
And when I'm comfortably numb
When I'm nullified and done
I trickle to the kingdom come
Hide the body in the sun.
I go to love that I don't know
I see the little ones that grow
I lay my body in my bed
But my heart's with cherry red
I'm still smiling through the night
I left behind my golden light
My girls and twilight's in the back
From cherry red I fade to black
From cherry red I fade to black
From cherry red I fade to black

Black Car
02:38
|

|
He was a sure shot
A really tight knot
He was a real one
He made the boys run
But he couldn't sleep
Watching 'em weep
He was a bright light
He could've been right
He was a bit loud
He made the boys proud
But he didn't know
Where he could go
What does he need
Why won't he bleed
Stay for awhile
Maybe he'll smile
He was a white heat
He couldn't be beat
He stole a black car
Could really go far
But he's on the run
Into the sun (4x)

Far Away
04:50
|
|||
|
Let's stop by a lonesome railroad
See how far the grass will go
Until it turns to city streets
While we sit and watch the breeze
Gently flow, and carry us away
Far past that San Fransisco Bay
Let's watch the ocean pass us by
Horizon lines were born to die
Let's go so far away
Drive into a golden day
Let's leave it all behind
And let it all fade into time
Never mind my fateful passion
For all the roads, rough and ashen
Gypsies are my forefathers
Love is such a fleeting bother
Escaping is another word for waiting
And all we are creating
A village is life's disguise
Of heaven, right in front of our eyes
Let's go so far away
Drive into a golden day
Let's leave it all behind
And let it all fade into time
Let's go so far away
Drive into a golden day
Let's leave it all behind (3x)
And let it all fade into time

Sugar And Tea
04:57
|

Oh you pretty thing just standing there
So silent and still
Pressed against a hardwood wall
Wishing what you will
And all I want is sugar and tea
Pardon me please
Always dreaming aren't you dear
Dancing with ease
How many heavens will you crumble
In a lonely hour
Listen to my song, gently asleep,
Such a bright flower
And all I want is sugar and tea
Pardon me please
Always dreaming aren't you dear
Dancing with ease
Would you let me rock you
With a gentle word
Would you dance to something sweet
And sing like a bird
To me (4x)
A river doesn't stop for a fading day
In the blackness of night
Like a petal you dance on broken drops
As long as there's light
And all I want is sugar and tea
Pardon me please
Always dreaming aren't you dear
Dancing with ease
Every morning starts with your eyes
And ends with your smile
How can the memory fail the morning
You’ve been lost awhile
And all I want is sugar and tea
Pardon me please
Always dreaming aren't you dear
Dancing with ease (x3)

Remember Brooklyn
05:09

There's a city in the east
It runs on gasoline
And the cries of fantasy
Are breaking at the seams
You told them not to run
From the hounds of ecstasy
Between your frail and supple bones
I find your peddled legacy
But oh what I am feeling
Is simple so you see
For every word you haven't heard
Is drawn on bended knee (x2)
Dancers of a different tune
And dogs of bloody blues
Laugh at them, their tattered rags
Boys with nothing left to lose
Disrespect their iron glass
Cause you don't really know
You're guiltier by the day
Come on join the show
But oh what I am feeling
Is simple so you see
For every word you haven't heard
Is drawn on bended knee (x2)
There's a shade left in the afterglow
From yesterday's design
The pyramids are falling down
Inside the ancient minds
I'm beating down the boxcar
I'm slowly breaking in
Run far and wide, past the skies
I'll even let you win
But oh what I am feeling
Is simple so you see
For every word you haven't heard
Is drawn on bended knee (x2)

Messiah (The Rat Jam)
02:32

Forty one years ago I ripped apart the book
In forty two dollars I burned what they took
They don't seem to smile but they
Sit around and stay awhile
I'm a clean clean boy only do what I'm told
Humble servant only take what I can hold
I know they will follow cause they
Love to catch my shadow
Throughout the ages I'll shake 'em to the core (2x)
Tear the wicked down (3x)
Shout their hallowed sound
There's a peace in blood and a name to every scream
And every holy cross must own a martyr's dream
Dear sister sleep on
Dead soldier, keep on
Every salvation bullhorn is kept in careful tune
Don't they know their grave is coming soon
No kingdom, no power
But glory forever
Throughout the ages I'll shake 'em to the core (2x)
Tear the wicked down (3x)
Shout their hallowed sound (4x)

Home Again
04:45
|

Dragging in the night, by a graveyard
In a tree I know is dying, for every evening star
But I seem to think, in every broken word
And every whispered sound, for every flying bird
But heaven only knows, heaven only deals
A hand for someone old
But I can only breath, I can only be
Someone you can hold
Stealing woman, in a sixty-four
Driving past my doorway
Blonde and bright and blue
Oh I, missed you yesterday
But heaven only knows, heaven only deals
A hand for someone old
But I can only breath, I can only be
Someone you can hold
Deep inside an envelope,
Deep inside your pocket
An image of a morning sits
Deep inside a locket
(2x)
The fire's out, we're home again
Oh darling, home again
You didn't seem to lose, seem to lose my name
But remembered, all the same
But heaven only knows, heaven only deals
A hand for someone old
But I can only breath, I can only be
Someone you can hold (3x)
