"Last Dance Rodeo"

"Last Dance Rodeo"




Your lungs fill up with concrete
Her voice is all you can hear
Red lips and a screwdriver
Wrapped around some mink-clad smear
And you know that she's a diamond
And it's damned you for sure (OR In this damn juke box hell)
'Cause fools gold only fools fools
In two-bit hotels.
But she's cooler than all that
She's a real high-class cat
She's queen of the last dance rodeo.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

Light bulbs, and nylons
And plastic chandeliers
Objects are only objects,
They can't feel when you're near.
And tangerine lips
And lily-white breasts
These things are eternal
Inside them humanity rests.
The skin is like a seashell
You listen to the soul
Like an old-time radio show.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing

You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

But don't wander too far
On one constant star
Darkness exists, except where you are
Your feet are filled with wandering
They follow your own
'Cause everywhere you are
Feels like home.
So search all you miners
You hunters of dreams
Look in the alleyways
For what you know is not what it seems
And fame, all you maidens,
It don't exist too long
But at least look behind you
And see your own shadow's gone
Don't you know it's the last rodeo
You gotta find yourself a cowboy
Or someone to keep you
Warm when it snows.

But under the gas lamp
The air is thick and velvety
Your bones filled with hunger
Your heart filled with longing
You're no longer human
You're an insatiable hole.
You wanna bury your face forever
In the navel of her soul
'Cause you know ...

All you need is a heart to call home
All you need is a heart
All you need is a heart to call home
That's all.

"Leave The Lights On"

"Leave The Lights On"


I like your smile
Don't like complication
I like your style
Don't like calculation
Come towards me, dear
There's something u need 2 hear

[CHORUS]

I said If u want my love
U can try my love
U can't buy my love
Just take my hand
If u want me, dear
Then just beckon, dear
And I will appear
I said-u can leave the lights on
U can leave the lights on

I believe in love, dear
Without limitation
Believe in being clear
2 avoid aggravation
If u want me 2
I will exist just for u

[CHORUS]

I will mesmerize with milky thighs and languid eyes,
I'll prophesize your moans and sighs
Just look at me sacredly, religiously, hungrily,
let your eyes say, "Please," I will not leave

[CHORUS]

"Life Uncommon"

"Life Uncommon"



Don't worry mother, it'll be alright
And don't worry sister, say your prayers and sleep tight
It'll be fine lover of mine
It'll be just fine

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon

I've heard your anguish
I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, we are weary, but we aren't worn out
Set down your chains, until only faith remains
Set down your chains

And lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lent your strength to that
Which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon

There are plenty of people who pray for peace
But if praying were enough it would have come to be
Let your words enslave no one and the heavens will hush themselves
To hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom

Come on you unbelievers, move out of the way
There is a new army coming and we are armed with faith
To live, we must give
To live

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead...
Lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend our strength to that which we wish to be free from
Fill you lives with love and bravery
And we shall lead a life uncommon

"Little Sister"

"Little Sister"



Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. So and So, knock knock knockin on his door
again last night, said you needed it bad-
you know that ain't right
'Cause so many times you've come to me cry-crying
trying to stop. you said it hurts so bad
But please don't let you
go back for more
My little sister is a Zombie in a body
with no soul in a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Not our addiction or afflictions of pain
to avoid the same questions we must
ask ourselves to get any answers
We gotta start feeding our souls
have been lost to the millions with lots
who feed on addiction selling pills and what's hot
I wish I could save her from all their delusions
all the confusion
of of a nation that starves for salvation
but clothing is the closest to approximation
to God and He only knows that drugs
are all we know of love
Every day we starve while we eat white bread
and beer instead of a hadshake or hug
We spill the pills and sweep them
under the rug
My little sister is a Zombie in a body
with no soul in a role she has learned to play
in a world today where nothing else matters
but it matters, we gotta start feeding our souls
Hey little sister I heard you went to Mr. So and So's
Knock, knock, knockin' on his door again last night
Said you needed more

"Love Is A Garden"

"Love Is A Garden"



I'm sitting here lately
Thinking about us maybe
Taking a break was a good thing

'Cause we were just children
Following a feeling
Not knowing love could wither away

But looking back it passed so softly
But common strangers we could not see
Just tired of fighting tired of hanging on

But now that you're gone I can see
That love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on, baby, baby, come home

Living with each other
Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be
You'd stay out all night and you'd say I was uptight
And soon we were only fighting

But looking back from this side now
It's hard to imagine wonder how
I thought it was you who was always wrong
But I can see
That love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on, baby, baby, come home

Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss,
And our moms all squeeze like weeds they get in the way
Now you're gone and I'm here,
I'm missing you dear,
We took a break what a mistake
What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you.
Cause I can see

That love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on, baby, baby, come home

Let's throw away our old cell phones
Let's just stay in bed
Let's just stay home
Come on baby, baby come home

I'm sitting here lately
Thinking about us maybe
taking a break was a bad thing

"Love Me Just Leave Me Alone"

"Love Me Just Leave Me Alone"



I saw you standing there
You had gold dust in your pocket and
You combed barbed wire
Through your hair
You thought I didn't notice
The skin on
Your teeth had a tear
To make me notice
You started to shout
Then you and all your minions
Started flapping your
Tiny arms all about
They said
You were a wise man
When did they teach
A wise man to pout?
I tried to forget you
but you tied bells to your name
They jingled everytime i thought of you
without shame
I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter?
Does your love need a home?
All right then, love me
Just leave me alone
Your mother was a wolf bite
Your daddy was a cigarette
Your brother was a rose bud
Crossbreed with a car wreck
Your sister was a stockbroker
But you ain't nothing
But a turtleneck
whats the matter?
Does yout love need a home?
alright then!
love me just leave me alone.
I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter
Does your leave need a home?
All right then, love me
Just leave me alone
It's not your little boys smile
It's not your little boys name
It's those big boy hands
That are the ones to blame
Well, I tried to be unlovable
Why couldn't you do the same?
What's the matter?
Does your love need a home?
All right then, love me
Just leave me alone
What's the matter?
Does your love need a home
All right then, love me
Just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone
Love me just leave me alone

"Love Used To Be"

"Love Used To Be"



Love used to be the ruler
From which you measured all
Love used to be the dizzying height
From which you wished to fall
Love used to be the white and gauzy apparition
Towering in your dreams
Love used to be
Love used to be

Love used to be the horseshoe made of iron
And always smiling up
And in your arms it gathered
All manner of silky satin golden luck
Love used to be the pyramid and on top
It's eye that always sees
Love used to be
Love used to be

Dig a six-foot hole
Inside my chest
Heart like a gravestone
Lay it down to rest
Goodbye love
Amen

Love used to be a sigh like petals
Gently falling down
From the flower of my lover's
Half open rosebud mouth
Love used to be the thirst, oh, and the quenching
The question in no need of answering
Love used to be
Love used to be

Love used to be hope unflinching
The dare that believed it must
Love used to be the heady drunken feeling of
Flesh heavy with lust
Love used to be the photograph of the future
Taken by one mind four eyes could see
Love used to be
Love used to be

Dig a six-foot hole
Inside my chest
Heart like a gravestone
Lay it down to rest
Goodbye love
Amen

Love used to be a miracle
The proof that God exists
As it doubled our image, immortality delivered
By the double helix
Love used to be the bedrock you built a life upon
Into the future reaching
It used to be what woke you each day
And eased me into sleeping
Love used to be my compass
But now I'm alone and I'm adrift and I'm lost at sea
Cause love used to be
Love used to be
Love used to be
Love used to be

"Loved By You (Cowboy Waltz)"

"Loved By You (Cowboy Waltz)"



Oh the night draws on and on
Now that you're gone
Now that you're far away
My thoughts seem to stray

I sit alone and stare
Even though you're not there
Even though you're not mine
Forever I'll pine

You may call me foolish
Oh I try and you know it'll be true
But I don't wanna be loved
By anybody but you
No, I don't want to be loved
By anybody but you

Sit alone all day
Hours pass that way
Wishing you were here
Holding me dear

You may call me foolish
Oh try and you know it'll be true
But I don't wanna be loved
By anybody but you
No I don't want to be loved
By anybody but you

At night when I'm home
I listen for the phone
Waiting for it to ring
At night in my bed
Thoughts go wonderin'
If you feel the same

You may call me foolish
Oh try and you know it'll be true
But I don't wanna be loved
By anybody but you
No, I don't want to be loved
By anybody but you

[a) Go Tell It On the Mountain]
when i was a seeker
i sought both night and day
i asked the lord to help me
and he showed me the way
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
he made me a watchman
up on the city wall
and if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
while shepherds kept their watching
o'er wand'ring flock by night
behold! from out of the heavens
there shown a holy light
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born
go tell it on the mountain
over the hills and ev'rywhere
go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born

[b) From a Distance]
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us :
(from a distance)

[c) Life Uncommon]
i've heard your anguish
oh! i've heard your hearts cry out
we're tired, oh! we are weary
oh! we aren't worn out
set down your chains
'til only faith remains
set down your chains
and lend your voices
only to sounds of freedom
oh, no longer lend your strength to that
which you wish to be free from
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
and we shall lead a life uncommon
there are plenty of people
who pray for peace

oh! it would have come to be
don't ever let your words enslave no one
and the heavens will hush themselves
to hear our voices ring out clear

oh! move out of the way
there is a new army coming
oh! and we are armed with faith
oh! live, oh! we must give
oh! live
and lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
no longer lend your strength
to that which you wish to be free from
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
and we shall lead
a life uncommon
fill your lives with love and brav'ry
oh! and we shall lead
a life uncommon
(From a Distance again)
god is watching us, god is watching us,
god is watching us from a distance
god is watching us, god is watching us,
god is watching us from a distance

"Mercy"

"Mercy"



Simplicity, does not come easy
When you’re dreaming of being someone else
And grace you see is fleeting
When you’re bleeding your innerself

Have Mercy on me please
Have Mercy, I’m on my knees
I’m being broken again and again
I’ll keep being broken until I remain
Open

When you're locked away,
Fighting shadows, constant battles
Trying to feel safe
When your own armor starts killing you,
Cause it’s causing you to sink beneath its weight

Call for mercy, won’t you please
Call for mercy, get on your knees
You’re being broken, again and again
You’ll keep being broken, until you remain
Open

So feel the pain, give into it
Cry till you crack, that’s how the light gets in
Set your weapons on the ground
Until you’re naked and trembling now
And when you think you can’t stand any more

Give mercy to someone in need
Give mercy, don't you see
Life will break our hearts, again and again
We’ll keep being broken until we remain
Open

Can’t you see
I have broken wide open
Let yourself be broken wide open
I have broken open
