"Angel"

"Angel"


It is a hurtin' thing you don't wanna talk about it
Pain in your heart well it's takin' your breath away
You left it in lipstick on the mirror no use talkin' about it
Love like this just don't come along every day

[Chorus:]
Somebody just stop calling you angel
Somebody just let love get up and go downtown
Somebody just stop calling you angel
Angel wings out in the snow and mascara running down

They called you tookie in high school, you didn't mind it too much
Kind of nice to have a nickname, kind of like they thought about it
You wish that it stuck with you, didn't have to trade it in on
Some crazy lover's pet name, wind up hurtin' so much

[Chorus]

He peeled the skin off of the world and you stopped breathin'
You drew a breath, he sighed, the air was freezin'
Two blood-red hearts pumpin' hard out in the open
You skinned your knee at kickball
Twenty years ago against all hopin'

Y'all put that hammer down and drove through love's angel food cake
Tastin' every spongy layer and lickin' frosting off the moon
Wild-eyed with excitement but childishly disappointed
Maybe even tasted better when mama let you lick the spoon

[Chorus]

"Baby's Gonna Kick"

"Baby's Gonna Kick"



I'm riding downtown 'bout a John Lee er
Got my mind set on a slow meat cooker
My baby, is gonna kick me out someday

Somebody said wolves howlin' at my door
I ain't seen no wolf since I was 24
My baby, is gonna kick me out someday

Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday
Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday

Jiggle to the left, jiggle to the right
One more jiggle and I'm puting out the light
My baby, is gonna kick me out someday

Now some girls won't do the fire walk
They try to tell you that the coals ain't hot
And my baby, is gonna kick me out someday

Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday
Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday,

Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday
Baby's gonna kick
Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday

Baby's gonna kick
Well Baby's gonna kick,
Baby's gonna kick me out someday

"Back Of My Mind"

"Back Of My Mind"



Well my daddy he stood at the foot of the stairs
He was calling to me at the time
And I knew even then, I could die for the thoughts
That I kept in the back of my mind

But I dared not to speak
How I felt for my dad
Cause there were no words to define
The ball of confusion, of feelings and stuff
That I kept in the back of my mind

So I took to the highway
And I kept to myself
Just a lookin' and hopin' to find
Some solutions, some answers, someway to exist
All this stuff in the back of my mind

So I took me a job
And I took me a wife
And I took me a bottle of wine
And it did not take long, 'til all I had left
Was this junk in the back of my mind

Well the end of the tunnel
It never came up
'til I came to the end of the line
And I saw that the light I'd been hoping to see
Was just a spark in the back of my mind

And the cold wind that blew
Through the hole in my heart
Made a fire for the very first time
From some branches of trust
And a kindling of faith
And that spark in the back of my mind

Drivin' like rain, or a runaway train
Flyin' blind, shot from the dark in the back of my mind

"Back On The Corner"

"Back On The Corner"



Back on the corner
I'm singing the blues
I can see my reflection
In the shine of your shoes

Like Momma used to say
No news is good news
And I'm back on the corner again

Back on the corner
Got my seeing-eye dog
He's blind as justice
And hungry as a hog

I feel like a prince
But I look like a frog
And I'm back on the corner again
Back on the corner
Pitching pennies and dimes
Hell, I don't even know
How I got here this time

Singing for my supper at 12th Street and Vine
Back on the corner again

Used to take seven pills
Just to get up in the morning
From seven different doctors
With seven different warnings

I'd call 'em up to say I'm coming apart
They'd say call us back when the fireworks start

Well I lost my address
I lost my wife
I lost my children
I lost my knife

But if you trifle with me
It's my life against your life
Back on the corner again

Back on the corner
Something's sticking in my craw
How come everything I do
Is up against the law

You can't arrest a man, can you
For trying to break his own fall
Back on the corner again

Back on the corner
Got a pidgeon for a friend
He said he'd come to see me
But he did not say when

One of these days
He's gonna fly back home and then
Back on the corner again

Every long, drawn step it took to get me here
Was full of best intentions

Bright hopes and good cheer
With dreams made out of silk
Lined with silver and gold
Too beautiful to mention
Too heavy to ever hold

Well, I'm back on the corner
With the pimps and the whores
Least I know what they're standing here for
She smiles, tips me a dollar,
And I play her one more

Back on the corner again
Back on the corner again
Back on the corner again

"Back To Normal"

"Back To Normal"


Naturally I heard the doctor say
Cut the cord and give the child away
So you had him over for dinner
Carving beans with a butcher knife
I'm back to normal
(He's going over her)
I'm back to normal
(With his thermometer)
I'm back to normal
(She's getting normal)
I'm back to normal now
Back to normal
Back to normal
Back to normal now

You tell him to try and kiss away
All those little things we could not say
And he's got you under that pillow
Well I left instructions for you

I'm back to normal
(I see ya live for hope)
I'm back to normal
(Get out your microscope)
I'm back to normal
(You got enough rope)
I'm back to normal now
Back to normal
Back to normal
Back to normal now

He thinks he's all you ever wanted
He's turning off the lights now
Does he know your bed is haunted?

Who's that in the shadows on the wall?
Who's that with the camera in the hall?
You got doctor's orders
I got all the pictures I need

I'm back to normal
(I sit alone at night)
I'm back to normal
(In the projected light)
I'm back to normal
(It's such an insight)
I'm back to normal now
Back to normal
Back to normal
Back to normal
I'm back to normal now
Back to normal [x12]

"Back To The War"

"Back To The War"



You're different from me
All the boundaries are defined
If we keep up with these truces
One of will lose their mind

And I consciously object to your weapons detector
Hedging bets in the private sector
I don't have to salute you
But I might have to shoot you

Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war

Those bullets in the park
Those after dark rendezvous
Somebody has to bleed
As someone draws a bead on you

And it keeps you on your toes, all these innocent gophers
Taking orders in their penny loafers
I could change my position
But you just never listen

Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war

Bombs away, as they say
I'm not about to pay membership dues
I've got this dynamite
I know you're sitting tight, waiting for news
Well I'm lighting the fuse

While you were on vacation
I was stationed at the line
You think we've normalized
Well I'm surprised you're so blind

As you traffic in the bucks of the recent reconstruction
This ain't no drill team I'm conducting
You can make your decision
Or watch it on television

But let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war

Let's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war

"Before I Go"

"Before I Go"



I've been sleeping for some hours
Just woke up and you were there
Like the morning, like the flowers
Sunlight whispering in my ears
Red tail hawk shooting down the canyon
Put me on that wind he rides
I will be your true companion
When we reach the other side

I will try, I will stumble
But I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go

Can't decide which way to travel
On the ground or in the sky
All my schemes have come unraveled
All that's left is you and I

And I will try, but I will stumble
And I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go
Here I go

Ghosts on the trees, there's
Ghosts on the wires
Asking questions and showing signs
Shivering with truth, they're lighting fires
Lighting fires all down the line

And I will try, and I will stumble
But I will fly, he told me so
Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go

Proud and high or low and humble
Many miles before I go
Many miles before I go

"Bite Marks"

"Bite Marks"


[Chorus:]
Bite marks baby, out of control
You sink 'em in and take a chunk of my soul
Bite marks baby, up and down my mind
You know you really chewed me up this time

You like it rough, down in the mud
Your idea of fun is drawin' blood
You tear the meat from the heart of a thing
Until there's nothing worth remembering

[Chorus]

Don't need no teeth to eat my beef
I'm tenderhearted, ain't no Lee Van Cleef
You bit my tires and it blew my mind
Now I can't even roll down the line

[Chorus]

You go right for the jugular vein
Bared incisors and your eyes are insane
I have to handle you with chain mail gloves
There is no name for your kind of love

[Chorus]

"Blue Telescope"

"Blue Telescope"



I've got a blue telescope, I'm looking at the world tonight
Through a blue telescope; I wish I may, I wish I might
Not see what I see - sheet metal on sheets of ice
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight

Blue breath on my windshield, I came to a frozen place
She shivered when I said goodbye - I wish I didn't have to face
Her in that rear-view mirror, though she lives in the heart of me
Looking through this blue telescope
I guess she'll always be a star to me

The heavens vast and wide
Wait to escort the bride
She lifts her wedding veil
Her breath a lonesome vapour trail

I got this blue telescope - I'm looking for her tonight
Through a blue telescope; tell me, why must the blue angels fight?
Taking one last shot at heaven while they slip stream through paradise
Looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight
I'm looking through this blue telescope down a moonstruck road tonight

I've got a blue telescope
Blue telescope

"Blues Can't Even Find Me"

"Blues Can't Even Find Me"



World is closin' in on me
Don't know what to do
Can't see the big picture anymore
If there's even one to view

Wife keeps pushin' buttons
Spend all day starin' at a little screen
I'm feelin' invisible
The blues can't even find me

Wish I had a name for feelin' nothin'
Wish I still had my old address
Where anyone could come on over
And just put me in a mess

Now I'm tellin' everybody
When we'll be takin' our next breath
Blues can't even find me
Like we never even met

She cried all the way to Memphis
With the kids in back
And only me to talk it out with
Used to be like that

Now there's fifty people in the car
And the kids are grown
And I've heard her side fifty times
Talkin' on her cell phone

Now we're just so lonely
And there's no turnin' back
It's virtually impossible
But I can live with that

I wouldn't want in on this train wreck
Wouldn't wanna be on this last date
Now the blues can't even find me
All I know to do is wait

Now the blues can't even find me
All I know to do is wait
