"Cut"

"Cut"


Jesse's gone inside out
Someone hush her quiet mouth
Charity's friend she was I know
Fill her cup and leave her alone

Distance fails but it keeps her alive
Thinks that evil's on her side
Gets rid of things that don't matter
She used to let me cut her hair

Jesse's gone inside out
She used to let me cut her hair

"Dark"

"Dark"


One more dance
Before they take away the light
One more spin around the line
One more step
And then we'll turn and face the debt
One more reason to forget

"Days Of..."

"Days Of..."


It was one of those days
Of salvation and loss
Just one of those days
When you weight for the worst
First they hold you for a ransom
Then they buy you for a song
Just one of those days
When you laugh at what you've done
How they ripped you from the pages
Oh you waited for the best
It was one of those days
Of salvation and loss

"Death Of A Salesman"

"Death Of A Salesman"


So I took my guitar
And I threw down some chords
And some words I could sing
Without shame
And I soon had a song
I played it around
For some friends
But they all said the same

They said "Music's for fools
You should go back to school
The future is prisons and math."
So I did what they said
Now my children are fed
Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked

I forgot all my songs
The words now are wrong
And I burned my guitar in a rage
But the fire came to rest
In your white velvet breast
So somehow I just know that it's safe

"Dinosaur Act"

"Dinosaur Act"


You and your daughter
and your father
flew airplanes

You and your sister
can tell by the back of her hands

It was a dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act

After expenses
and pulling up fences
no more airplanes

And putting your foot down
a nail shot up like a bright red snowflake

Just like a dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur

ooo...

And all through the dust
you feel that you must hear the strings of a dove

But it's a dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur act
dinosaur

"DJ"

"DJ"


Our father said what the father said
Whooo-oh
Our mothers did what their mothers did
We find each other on the edge of it
Whooo-oh
To be forgiven if we don’t forget
Whooo-oh

You want religion, you want assurance
A resurrection, some kind of purpose
You have the vision, you opened your eyes
A complication, you should have looked twice

You have forgotten how to use your head
Whooo-oh
You got somebody else to paint your fence
Whooo-oh
Is it the body or the everglance?
Whooo-oh
You want it all without the consequence
Whooo-oh

You want religion, you want assurance
A resurrection, some kind of purpose
It’s not what you say, it’s what you take back
Like a dj, you’ve gotta shake that

"Do You Know How To Waltz?"

"Do You Know How To Waltz?"


One more dance
Before they take away the light
One more spin around the line
One more step
And then we'll turn and face the debt
One more reason to forget

"Don't Understand"

"Don't Understand"


Carry the weight
And wait at the last
Bloodied my leg
And buried my fist
I don't understand
I don't understand
I send it away
Now it's back in my breast
And drag you to town
Treat you just like a son
Alone in my house
Did they teach you to run
I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand

 

[fox69]

"Done"

"Done"


Left my lair
To the wind and the sand
With blood on my lips
And silver in hand
And I'm weary and stumbling
In the desert heat
Where raindrops
They burn up
Before they reach your cheek

And if you see my love
Tell her I'm done

 

[fox69]

"Down"

"Down"


I guess the secret's out
Like a river flows
It's never over done
Out of control
I guess the secret's out
My simple goal
You'll be the one, too
Out of control
Out of my control
I guess the secret's out
Above me looking down
It's not supposed to be that way
Out of control
