"Abandoned"

"Abandoned"


All of my love has been taken for granted
I've been fair but you've been underhanded
I've been disgraced, but I can't bear to face it
Cause the truth is my heart has been abandoned.

I was hoping for Heaven, but baby I ain't blind
This ain't the first time I've been undermined
Sad eyes and crooked smile that I remember well
Now it looks like all I got was time to kill

You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes
You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes
Everything I thought we had has all been cast aside
You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes

These boots are the same boots I was wearing then
And this beer I'm drinking is still the same old brand
But these blues are something new, they came around when I lost you
Now it looks like I got stuck with an empty hand

You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes
You can't fool me , I see it in your eyes
Everything I thought we had has all been cast aside
You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes

You can't fool me, I see it in your eyes

"Am I Too Blue"

"Am I Too Blue"


Am I too blue for you?
Am I too blue?
When I cry like the sky
Like the sky sometime
Am I too blue?

Is the night too black?
Is the wind too rough?
Is it at your back?
Have you had enough?

Do you miss my touch?
Do you wanna stay?
Do you have so much
Still left to say?

[refrain: Am I too blue....]

When you're in the dark
Do ya call my name?
Is there still a spark?
Does it feel the same?

The sun beats down
It burns your skin
When you run into, my arms again

"American Dream"

"American Dream"


Last time I saw you, you had dirt under your nails
Your eyes were glassy and you looked so pale
You said my life has become a livin' hell
Ain't got enough money to pay my bills

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

Got a friend with a needle stuck in his arm
He got hooked on heroin in Vietnam
It used to help kill the pain some of the time
Now I can't sleep at all since I got back home

I worked in the strip mines off and on
Now I can't seem to get rid of this cough
Ain't been many jobs these last few months
And the last one I had I got laid off

I ain't got no hot water and they shut off the heat
Can you loan me some money for something to eat
Been out here on this corner for about a week
Tryin hard to stand on my own two feet

They want to try and tell me where I can live
They kicked me off my land and told me they'd give me
A nice little tract house with running water
But how am I gonna explain that to my Navaho mother

My American dream almost came true
But the things they promised me never came through
I believe in the American dream
But things are never quite what they seem

Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

"Are You Alright?"

"Are You Alright?"


Are you all right?
All of a sudden you went away
Are you all right?
I hope you come back around someday.
Are you all right?
I haven't seen you in a real long time.
Are you all right?
Could you give me some kind of sign?
Are you all right?
I looked around me and you were gone.
Are you all right?
I feel like there must be something wrong.
Are you all right?
Cause it seems like you disappeared.
Are you all right?
Cause I've been feeling a little scared.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you
Are you all right?

Are you all right?
Is there something been bothering you?
Are you all right?
I wish you'd give me a little clue.
Are you all right?
Is there something you want to say?
Are you all right?
Just tell me that you're OK.
Are you all right?
Cause you took off without a word.
Are you all right?
You flew away like a little bird.
Are you all right?
Is there anything I can do?
Are you all right?
Cause I need to hear from you.
Are you all right?

Are you sleeping through the night?
Do you have someone to hold you tight?
Do you have someone to hang out with?
Do you have someone to hug & kiss you?
Hug & kiss you
Hug & kiss you

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

"Are You Down"

"Are You Down"


Can't put the rain back in the sky
Once it falls down
Please don't cry

Rain turns the dirt into mud
Warm and messy
Like your love

Can't force the river upstream
When it goes south
Know what I mean?

Nothin' will make me take you back
Are you down babe
Down with that?

"Atonement"

"Atonement"


Come on, Come on, Come on
Kill the rats in the gutter
Sings the voice in the choir
Bring your Father and your Mother
Sing it higher and higher
Shake the clammy hand
Repeat the 23rd psalm
Make you understand
Where it was you went wrong

Voices from tapes
Shouting with twisted tongues
Emotional rape
Hell fire scorched lungs

Come on, Come on, Come on
Pay close attention to this
Let me give you something good to eat
Bite down hard 'til it sticks between your teeth
Glory, glory we've killed the beast
Blinded by glittery diamonds
Resting on crooked fingers
Shaded eyes they are the ones
Who'll lead you to your deliverance

From the figure of doom
Force you to understand
Lock you in a room
With a holy roller and a one man band

"Awakening"

"Awakening"


In the awakening, in the awakening
I will shoulder my troubles and
harness my ride
In the awakening, in the awakening
I'll roll nothin' but doubles,
sevens and nines

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will lick my wounds, I will kiss the sky
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will kick the shoulds, I will not ask why

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will pray for nothing,
I will stay up 'til the end
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will say what I want to,
I will not make amends

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will honor the mistaken,
I will honor the truth
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will honor the forsaken,
I will not mourn my youth

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will not mourn my losses,
I will not mourn the dead
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will have no bosses,
I will not bow my head

In the awakening, in the awakening
I will want for nothing, I will give you a gift
In the awakening, in the awakening
I will always love you,
I will give you my kiss

"Big Mess"

"Big Mess"


As far as I can tell
You are history
You can go straight to hell
That's alright with me
You go on as usual
And you act like it doesn't mean jack
How can you be so casual
And then mess me up like that

But I gotta a handle on things
Yeah I got my prescription
I changed the channel
I stopped my subscription
I got a handle on things
I got my prescription
I changed the channel
I stopped my subscription

I know your smile
Is just an evil grin
You've been lyin' all the while
Now the truth is just sinkin' in
You left a big mess behind
That I'm gonna have to clean up
You think you can change my mind
But you're clean outta luck

But I gotta a handle on things
I got my prescription
I changed the channel
I stopped my subscription
I got a handle on things
I got my prescription
I changed the channel, yeah
I stopped my subscription

You act so ambivalent
Then you got no explanation
You're supposed to represent
I don't know what you were thinking
You trip and you break
Every golden rule
You slip when you speak
You try to play me for a fool

But I gotta handle on things
I got my prescription
I changed the channel
I stopped my subscription
I got a handle on things
I got my prescription
I changed the channel
I stopped my subscription

"Big Red Sun Blues"

"Big Red Sun Blues"


Everything is goin' wrong
it's not right anymore
We can't seem to get along
the way we did before

Sun is hangin' in the sky
sinkin' low and so am I
Just for the love of someone
and a big red sun

How'm I gonna lose
these big red sun blues
Big red sun big red sun
big red sun blues

True love to hold
is worth everything
It's worth more than gold
or any diamond ring

But this little diamond
and a heart that's been broken
Are all I got from you
big red sun

How'm I gonna lose
these big red sun blues
Big red sun big red sun
big red sun blues

Look out at that western sky
out over the open plains
God only knows why
this is all that remains

But give me one more promise
and another kiss
And I guess the deal's still on
you big red sun

How'm I gonna lose
these big red sun blues
Big red sun big red sun
big red sun blues

How'm I gonna lose
these big red sun blues
Big red sun big red sun
big red sun blues
