"Resurrection Song"

"Resurrection Song"



Day end of day
Each hanging spiral
Where is the shore
From this clear blue silence
Up to the heavens that you daydream
Remembering the sun and the deep green ivy
I know that sleep walking too
In trying to be free
Of all this damage in my eyes
Making confusion in my mind
When I hear a resurrection song
Night lays me down when I'm fading
When I can't go home because they hate me
To sing that resurrection song
Day end of day
Each hanging spiral
What do you make
Of this clear blue silence
Now that the engine driver
Has grown to be a deep sea diver
And the street has got no end
Better keep your heart strong little friend
Thought I heard a resurrection song
Thought I heard a resurrection song

"Revolver"

"Revolver"



Now after all,
Don't feel like nothing.
Like walking away,
Like a mouth full of rain.

At twelve o'clock
The bell starts ringing,
A dog starts barking
And you're still missing.

Still missing something
You've never known what it was.

And I'm not one for thinking twice,
But I know this much is true.
The earth will turn, the pot'll burn
And you are my revolver.

Just waking up,
Some dogs start barking,
A bell starts ringing
And you're still missing.

And after all,
Don't you feel like nothing.
Like walking away
Like a mouth full of rain.

I'm holding on
'Cause you're my revolver
And I dreamed of ending
And flying away...

"Riding The Nightingale"

"Riding The Nightingale"


Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale
Came upon an angel and a nightingale
Back where the darkness comes
Between the earth and skies above
Dead weight on my body's bones
I think I dug too deep a hole
Think I dug too deep
a hole

Better run for cover babe you better hide
Don't do no good to wait til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time
Riding on my nightingale
So many years to, to ride
Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart

Climbing down the stairs at last
I wouldn't touch me right
You're too proud and I'm too scared
And I'm neither here nor there
It's only fear
Well open up the doors
And let me breathe that air

Better run for cover babe you better hide
Just don't do to wait til time decides
Time decides
Time
Time
I need a little more time

Mama I'm gonna cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh you're makin' me cry now
Cry, I'm gonna cry now
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
I'm gonna cry
Cry
I'm gonna die cryin'

Better run for cover babe you'd better hide
Just don't to wait til time decides
Tied around my nightingale
So many years to, to hide
Fly my nightingale
Around my heart
Who's riding on my nightingale [7x]

"Riot In My House"

"Riot In My House"



There's a riot in my house
Chaos is blossoming
Run and hide little mouse
Go on and get yourself together
When burn outs by the score
Strung out in metal cages
See technicolor pour
From every laceration
I realize that I'm slowly coming down with you

Angels fill my room
With what I've scant belief in
When death's metal broom
Comes sweeping through the evening
Get up off the floor
There's hot smoking radiation
From window to the door
In ultra violent hesitation
I realize that I'm slowly coming down with you

Battle lines appear
Within the broken mirrors
Yet the dogs have no fear
Fighting in the dark grey shadows
Hear the coughing sound
Mama bring my medication
No harmony is found
While performing levitation
I realize that I'm slowly coming down with you

There's a riot in my house
Chaos is blossoming
Run and hide little mouse
Go on and get yourself together
From window to the door
There's cold choking strangulation
See technicolor pour
From every amputation
And realize that I'm slowly coming down with you

"Sad Lover"

"Sad Lover"



I watch as my sad lover dreams
On a wave of swirling hurricane disaster
With a bullet for the ghost following after
I watch as my sad lover dreams

I hate when the red sun goes down
And burns a lonely shadows into pavement
And the breaking of my heart, I can't evade it
I hate when that red sun goes down

Alright

I hate when the red sun goes down
And burns a lonely shadows into pavement
And the breaking of my heart, I can't evade it
I hate when that red sun goes down

I pray for my sad lover's dream
On a wave of swirling novocaine and laughter
And tears the only gift following after
I pray for my sad lover's dream

I pray for my sad lover's dream
Come one

"Sally, Don't You Cry"

"Sally, Don't You Cry"



Oh Sally, don't you cry
Oh Sally, don't you cry
The man's the man
Does the best he can
Oh Sally, don't you cry

Oh Sally, don't you moan
Oh Sally, don't you moan
Go hang up the phone
Give the dog a bone
Oh Sally, don't you moan

Sally, it ain't so bad
Sally, it ain't so bad
I see you are mad
Though he's the best you've had
Sally, it ain't so bad

Oh Sally, sail on by
Sweet Sally, sail on by
Oh the times are hard
Though you question why
Oh Sally, sail on by
Oh Sally, sail on by
Oh Sally, sail on by

"Salvation"

"Salvation"



Salvation, Salvation
I never really want it to believe
I always thought you flattered to deceive

Salvation, Salvation
My blood is flowing like the tide
And blood is thick and so's my own grey hide

Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home

Salvation, Salvation
I'm fortunes son and I took what I could get
I loved you dear and I never will forget

Salvation, Salvation
When my bridges burned all I saw was you
On the other side too good to be true

Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home

"Saturday's Gone"

"Saturday's Gone"



If you're kind for dusty highways and such
Be alright to look her up
The faded priestess of the highways and crutch
Calling when you're down on luck
By the disused railroad road station you go
To the house of dirty pearl
Her existential situation you know
She is not like other girls

She may ask you, “Do you believe?”
You can't stay, though you'll never leave

See the sapphire in the skylines so blue
See the diamond in the dirt
When you think the subject won't turn to you
She got demons up her skirt
It isn't sure of her reflection at all
Is seduced by all things past
A pleasure-seeker of dejection
Gazing into her looking glass

She may ask you what you believe
But the mirror doesn't see me

Saturday's gone, saturday's gone
Saturday's gone, saturday's gone

She may ask you, “Do you believe?”
You can't stay, though you'll never leave

Saturday's gone, saturday's gone
Saturday's gone, saturday's gone

Now a sundown comes, a new day for her
Tired of dress and leave the ground
You'd be a fool to ask her to lift you up
Why go up when you go down?
If you should tire of ties that bind you
Filmed on fever leaves so fast
You got trouble far behind you
Well knows nothing's made to last

Hear how God sees a lion roar
Watch the serpent crossing the floor

Saturday's gone, saturday's gone...

"Seafaring Song"

"Seafaring Song"



I have travelled the world around
Wandered far from home
Sailed the ocean in foreign skies
Still further to go
Back into my babies arms
From this world of woe
That was such a long long time ago

Captain hollered the Cabin Boy
Stared into the sun
Shadows waltzing so close behind
Ever far I run
Back into my babies arms
Safe from this world of woe
That was such a long long time ago

Sirens capture my trembling heart
What's to be will be
Moon is hidden, the deal is done
Spread your wings for me
Back into my babies arms
Rising soft and low
That was such a long long time ago

"Seventh Day"

"Seventh Day"



How the smoke get in my eye?
Awake to find the orchid died
Coincidence the seventh day
I guess that I'll be on my way

Rolling down the streets of gold
Tombstones and bulletholes
Now you're gonna ride alone in danger
Hang the phone upon the wall
Though I hate to leave you doll
On the face of one and all a stranger

La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la

Let the lonely dance begin
As the night is vanishing
If you dare to let me in, it's danger
Don't you sleep in poppy fields
Don't you let the mask conceal
Don't you ever do the deal with strangers

How the blood get in my eye?
Awake to find the sun has died
Find the key, unlock my cage
Break the back that bore my rage

In the dirt and choking sin
Let the freezing night begin
Try to rise above the din, it stains ya
Like the soldier on the wall
Like the lonely lemur call
Like a thing that creep and crawl, it's danger

La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la

How the smoke get in my eye?
Awake to find the orchid died
Coincidence the seventh day
I guess that I'll be on my way

Rolling down the streets of gold
Tombstones and bulletholes
Now you're gonna ride alone in danger
Hand the phone upon the wall
Though I hate to leave you doll
On the face of one and all a stranger

La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, ah
La la la la la la la
