"Museum"

"Museum"

You hear them call your name
From your room
Far removed
Don't let 'em use you in, every way
Stay unchained
Around and round you go
They'll never know, what you've seen
Why have you turned away
You can believe, believe in me
Couldn't you try one time
See if they'll run, for a while
It's a solitary star
Shining precious light
Light on me
When I see your eyes
Tell me what you find
But I oughta know, by now
Did you hear them call your name
From your room
Far removed
I'd only use you in, every way
Stay unchained
It's a solitary star
Shining precious light
Light on me

"No Bells On Sunday"

"No Bells On Sunday"

Now the vanishing’s begun
When drowning late at night
The blown glass setting sun
Weeps electric light
A mirror holds no gaze
Just a beacon dying
All I know, in a way
I think it’s me that’s crying

No bells on Sunday
No wings to fly
To the ground God bless you
I’m missing you tonight
It’s always the same
Standing out in the rain
It comes down to break me
I’m praying just the same

"No Cross"

"No Cross"

No cross to carry, no cause to cry
We'll walk streets of gold in time
And when those shadows crawl in run go get the priest
And I won't miss a thing but you my little freak

The million dollar arms and real blue heartache kids
Stroll to rock and roll dead slow
Put on their coats and go

And all these empty arms ain't got nothing to do
But play some rock and roll dead slow
Put on my coat and go

No cross to carry, no grinding wheel to ride
No cross to carry and no nails to drive

"No Easy Action"

"No Easy Action"

When all is done and turned to dust
And insects nest inside my bones, I see
I stagger in a daze outside my tent
No time for being alone
To bleed
The hopeless singing of a round
That much we know to do
Before we go back underground
No easy action
Sparks fill the air some nights
Crows look for food behind my skin
Beneath
Try our best to dig it in
And keep the cold away, I see
That the sky is a vanishing place
And then there's nothing to miss
No time to get out of the ice
No easy action
Although all else may turn to dust
And insects nest inside my bones, I see
I stagger in a daze to find what you meant
Where it's good to be alone
Bleed
The hopeless singing of a round
Before that vanishing place
Before we're back underground
No easy action

"No Place To Fall"
(with Willy Mason)

"No Place To Fall"
(with Willy Mason)

If I had no place to fall and I needed to
Could I count on you to lay me down?

I'll never tell you, no lies
I don't believe it's wise
You got pretty eyes, won't you spin me 'round?

I'm not much of a lover, it's true
I'm here and I'm gone and I'm forever blue
But I'm sure wanting you

The sky falls silver and gold
It tries to hide the sun but it can't be done
'Least not for long

But if we help each other grow
While the light of day smiles down our way
Oh, we can't go wrong

But time, she is a fast old train
She's here and she's gone and she won't come again
So won't you take my hand?

If I had no place to fall and I needed to
Could I count on you to lay me down?

"Nothing Much To Mention"

"Nothing Much To Mention"

Pack up that crystal chandelier
But leave some pink champagne on ice
There's nothing much to mention here
Should I dance around the room just like a child
To make it easy on your mind
No long goodbyes

They say that love can make you weep
But make you very glad as well
But all I think of love is sleep
I'd say I'm sorry but what the hell
You've heard it all too many times
No long goodbyes

Pack up that crystal chandelier
But leave some pink champagne on ice
There's nothing much to mention here
Should I dance around the room just like a child
To make it easy on your mind
No long goodbyes

"Ode To Sad Disco"

"Ode To Sad Disco"

The sun's tolling bell
Subterranean eyes
A thousand to one
The factory line
Stars outside the window flicker and shine
The hollow headed morning isn't blind
A mountain of nails burn in your hands
Here I give all I am

Gloria
I get down on my knees
Further from my own

A tower of stones
Sympathy's shade
Ride a white horse
The drowned on parade
A diamond headed serpent climbs a vine
See all the lonely children lose their minds
A mountain of dust burns in your mouth
Here there's no north, just south

Gloria
I get down on my knees
Further from my own

Thirst swollen tongue
An arcadian twist
The sleepwalk is done
Yet the notion persists
Cars outside the window careening by
The hollow headed morning is unkind
Gloria
I get down on my knees
Further from my own
Under a cliff
Darkness denied
Here I have seen the light

Here I have seen the light

"On Jesus' Program"

"On Jesus' Program"

On Jesus' program
I'll wade out in the deep
Oh yes I will
On Jesus' program
Oh I cannot sleep
On Jesus' program
The Holy Spirit will creep
I know he'll take me, shake me
Make me what I have to be

On Jesus' program
I'm working for Christ
Oh yes I am
On Jesus' program
I know someday I'll rise
On Jesus' program
To mansions in the sky
Where I'll be free to live on
To live on
Eternally

I'm workin
On the program
Every day
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home

"On The Steps Of The Cathedral"

"On The Steps Of The Cathedral"

I'm so sorry
I know exactly what you mean
Tired of being devilish
Sick of being wicked
Habitual, and untrue
Another starting over
Although it is the ending
I send regards to you
Standing on the steps
Steps of the cathedral
Watch the summer fade
Just trying to get to somewhere
Trying to get just anywhere
And I know it ain't my day

"One Hundred Days"

"One Hundred Days"

When the willow bends towards the end of day
And twilight falls again
To the funny sound that a blackbird makes
Twilight falls again
As no good reason remains, I'll do the same
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in, one day a ship comes in
But I can't say how or when
But I know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be right
Something good
From my fingertips, the cigarette throws ashes to the ground
I'd stop and talk to the girls who work this street, but I got business farther down
Like one long season of rain, I will remain
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in
From far away a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
And you know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be bright
Just like something good
One day a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
Something bright
Something so good
One hundred days
A ship comes in every day
You know it's good
You know it's good
A ship comes in every day
One day a ship comes in
Its good
When it's something good
