YOU'RE MISSING

YOU'RE MISSING


Shirts in the closet, shoes in the hall
Mama's in the kitchen, baby and all
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing

Pictures on the nightstand, TV's on in the den
Your house is waiting, your house is waiting
For you to walk in, for you to walk in
But you're missing, you're missing
You're missing when I shut out the lights
You're missing when I close my eyes
You're missing when I see the sun rise
You're missing

Children are asking if it's alright
Will you be in our arms tonight?

Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing

God's drifting in heaven, devil's in the mailbox
I got dust on my shoes, nothing but teardrops

YOU'VE GOT IT

YOU'VE GOT IT


no one ever found it
ain't no school ever taught it
no one ever made it
ain't no one ever bought it

baby you've got it
baby you've got it
come on and give it to me

ain't no one can break it
there ain't no one can steal it
ain't no one can fake it
you just know it when you feel it

baby you've got it
baby you've got it
come on and give it to me

yeah, you can't read it in a book
and you can't even dream it
honey, it ain't got a name
you just know it when you see it

baby you've got it
baby you've got it
come on and give it to me

well, now listen up
your reckless love is precious so don't waste it
can't tell you what they made it of
but i know it when i taste it

baby you've got it
baby you've got it

you've got it in your bones and blood
you're real as real ever was
baby you've got it
baby you've got it
come on and give it to me

YOUNGSTOWN

YOUNGSTOWN


Here in northeast Ohio, back in eighteen-o-three
James and Dean Heaton found the ore that was linin? yellow creek
They built a blast furnace here along the shore
And they made the cannonballs that helped the Union win the war

Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
My sweet Jenny I?m sinkin? down, here darlin? in Youngstown

Well my daddy worked the furnaces, kept them hotter than hell
I come home from Nam worked my way to scarfer, a job that?d suit the devil as well
Taconite coke and limestone fed my children and made my pay
Them smokestacks reached like the arms of god into a beautiful sky of soot and clay

Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
My sweet Jenny I?m sinkin? down, here darlin? in Youngstown

Well my daddy come home from Ohio works when he came home from World War 2
Now the yard?s just scrap and scrubble
He said: ? Them big boys did what Hitler couldn?t do?
These mills they built the tanks and bombs that won these country?s wars
We sent our sons to Korea and Vietnam now we?re wonderin? what they were dyin?for

Here in Youngstown, here in Youngstown
My sweet Jenny I?m sinkin? down, here darlin? in Youngstown

From the Monongahela valley to the Mesabi iron range
To the coal mines of Appalachia the story?s always the same
Seven hundred tons of metal a day now sir you tell me the world?s changed
Once I made you rich enough rich enough to forget my name

And Youngstown, and Youngstown
My sweet Jenny I?m sinkin? down, here darlin? in Youngstown

When I die I don?t want no part of heaven, I would not do heaven?s work well
I pray the devil comes and takes me to stand in the fiery furnaces of hell

YOUR LOVE

YOUR LOVE


She promises to be yours forever and alwaysAnd you?re too young to know it don?t work out that wayWhen she kisses you and your heart skipsAnd you?re ten feet off the groundSoon you?ll be crying and that when you?ll have foundThatYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you downYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you downWell it?s kisses and sweet talkWhen she first starts coming roundBut soon tears start falling downYou say every day she makes your dreams come trueBut soon those very dreams will be the death of youWellYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you downYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you downNo cold denials, no-one really liedIt was time spent, promise impliedAnd suddenly you see something new in her eyesAnd in that moment you realizeLately you?ve been walking the streets at nightLike an empty shadow in the morning lightLike an empty shadow that?s suddenly foundThat your love is gonna let you downYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you downYour love is gonna let you down, boyYour love is gonna let you down

YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY

YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY


You can't sleep at night
You can't dream your dream
Your fingerprints on file
Left clumsily at the scene

Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come to town

Yesterday the people were at ease
Baby you slept in peace
You closed your eyes and saw her
You knew who you were

And your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come
Your world keeps turning round and round
But everything is upside down
Your own worst enemy has come to town

There's a face you know
Staring back from the shop window
The condition you're in
Now you just can't get out of this skin

Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Hooo...

The times they got too clear
So you removed all the mirrors
Once the family felt secure
Now no one's very sure

Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy's come
Everything is falling down
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your own worst enemy has come
Everything is falling down
Your own worst enemy has come to town
Your flag it flew so high
It drifted into the sky

ZERO AND BLIND TERRY

ZERO AND BLIND TERRY


The Skulls met the Pythons
Down at the First Street station
Alliances have been made in alleyways
All across the nation
These boys live off the milk of a silver jet
And the love of sweet young women
Now the Pythons are down from old Englishtown
And they're looking to do some livin'
Well the leader of the Pythons
Is a kid they just call Zero
Now Terry's pop says these kids are some kind of monsters
But Terry says "No, pop, they're just plain heroes"

Zero and Terry they found a love that burnes like wildfire
Now Terry's daddy understood that this Zero was no good
A child, a thief and a liar
Well from out of the darkness that breaks the dawn
Zero rode like twilight
He said "Tonight's the night, Blind Terry, come on"
Terry come on, tonight is the night
Pack your bags, baby

And together they ran like reindeers through the street
Like tomorrow the earth was gonna catch on fire
Now Terry's dad hired some troopers to kill Zero and bring Terry back home
They crawled up in the night
Like firelight

Now snow-white troopers from the council of crime
Rode silver foxes through Terry's field
Oh they met the Pythons down on Route 9 but they refused to yield
The Pythons fought with buzz guns
And the troopers with swords like light
And Zero and Terry they ran away
And the gang fought all through the night

Well now some folks say Zero and Terry got away
Other said they were caught and brought back
But still young pilgrims to this day
Go to that spot way down by the railroad track
Where the Troopers met the Pythons
Old timers cry on a hot August night
If you look hard enough, if you try
You'll catch Zero and Terry and all the Pythons

Oh just hiking them streets of the sky
Just walkin', hiking the streets of the sky
Just hiking the streets of the sky
Hey Zero
