"Dead On You"

"Dead On You"



You were a ragged
Turquoise and twilight coat
I got my head hung down for you
Some day you're gonna need it
But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn
And there's only one way to go
It's gone dead, dead
It's gone dead on you
Take off your ragged
Turquoise and twilight coat
I got my head hung down for you
Someday you're gonna need it
But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn
And then there's only on way to go
It's goin' dead, dead
It's going dead, dead
It's goin' dead on you

"Death Rides A White Horse"
(with Duke Garwood)

"Death Rides A White Horse"
(with Duke Garwood)



Cut your midnight black hair and roll you in the dirt
Just slide the needle in until it doesn't hurt
If death rides a white horse then I ain't seen him yet
And I have seen some things that I can't soon forget

When death comes creeping in
Oh he don't speak a word
The heavens they don't part
No trumpeter is heard
When death comes creeping in

Not feeling any pain
Just the rain upon my skin
As I step down off the train
Let the grinding wheel begin
See the stars without number
They shine without a name
Only God knows where I'm going
Only God can know my shame

Gonna cut your black hair
Gonna roll you in the dirt
Gonna slide the needle in until it doesn't hurt
Cut your midnight black hair

If death rides a white horse then I ain't seen him yet
If death rides a white horse

"Death Trip To Tulsa"

"Death Trip To Tulsa"



High, high, high
Away up in the sun,
Waiting for you doctor
Are you gonna come?
My, my, my
Rolling in the sound
Thinking 'bout you baby
Are you gonna drown?

Went up to the station
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream

The lord made me a poor man
The lord made me a thief
A thousand miles of midnight
To shine beyond belief
It's my last trip to the corner
Now how am I gonna breathe?
A child upon his wasteland
The teeth of the disease

Went out on location
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream

High, high, high
Away up in the air
I look for you baby
But you ain't never there
Death trip to Tulsa
You know I might suffer some
Waiting for you doctor
Are you gonna come?

Went down to the nation
Found a horror scene
Fell into the strangest
Lonely, lonely dream
Lonely, lonely

High, high, high
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun
Away up in the sun

"Deep Black Vanishing Train"

"Deep Black Vanishing Train"



Yellow moon keep hanging there
And don't you ever come down
Tattered newspaper pages
Are scattered across the ground

Lost on a violent sea
Gone for endless days
I have tried to free myself
But it's been hard to break away

So long light, you're bound to fall
Now isn't that a shame
Casting shadows on the wall
Too late to learn another game

Transfixed by what isn't seen
And what will never change
The times I've tried to free myself
It's been hard to look away

It's a deep black vanishing train
Upon a very long track
Standing on a sidewalk in the rain
Hands behind my back

Lost on a violent sea
Day on endless day
I have finally freed myself
But it's been hard to break away

"Deepest Shade"
(originally by The Twilight Singers)



Fly...
The boy dead take a shine
Around yell down the line
His love she lost her mind

But I...
I never flow let blind
Went through darkest wide

They say it comes to you
My love I hope it's true
This deepest shade of blue
My love I give to you

Take
Takes me baby
As I bleed
Owe love in you and me
The love unreal in me

And I...
Love you until I die
Love you until tonight

They say it comes to you
My love I hope it's true
This deepest shade of blue
My love I give to you

The way you make me feel
My love for you is real
You don't kiss me like you did
My love I give to you

"Deus Ibi Est"

"Deus Ibi Est"



Against my will to these sad shores, an unknown force has drawn me
Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Impending storm rise up rise up, oh demons I shall shame you
Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you
Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war
Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

Worldly desires and worldly gains designed for worldly men
I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend
Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee
A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

So come my lord and we shall dance to God's own private drum
Sweet Jesus and the holy vine the afterlife to come
Day on day I march the the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

"Don't Forget Me"

"Don't Forget Me"



Cool water divine
Now I'm thirstier with nowhere to go
And what else do we find
But sorrow and misery untold
I know you got somebody new
Much better than me
When that chain starts to swing, keep in mind one thing
Don't forget me dear
And when you're lost I feel it too
Woman, make life sweet
Because of what you do, all my world is you
Now I know it's not easy, don't believe them when they say I'm not right
Don't put a hex on me, baby
Because I don't know what's wrong or right
I know that there's somebody new
Much better than me
But because my love is true, all my best to you
Don't forget me dear
And when you're alone, please take care
Don't go walking after dark
Shine a light behind the stair
Remember what might be in there
Cool water divine
Now I'm thirstier with nowhere to go
It's sorrow that we find
I'm thirstier with no where to go
I know that there's somebody new
Much better than me
When that chain starts to swing, keep in mind one thing
Don't forget me dear
Because my love is true, give my best to you
Don't forget me dear

"Down In The Dark"

"Down In The Dark"


Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Show my lonely night is fallin'
I don't have very long
I think my blood might boil
Then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better for a little while

Baby, you're gonna die someday
See you when you're crawlin', wasted
Then you'll start to fade
That won't be so I'm sinkin' faster
I wouldn't wait so long
It won't get any easier in the dark

Oh yeah
You will
You will
You will
You will
You will

Baby, you're goin' down in the dark
Think my lonely night is fallin'
I don't have very long
Think my blood might boil
And then my veins might burn
And you're gonna make it better for a little while

Oh yeah
You will [11x]

"Driving Death Valley Blues"

"Driving Death Valley Blues"


Well I'm so tired of driving but here comes the highway
Don't wanna go cold turkey
Ride with me Jesus so high on the mainline
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley
Remember her kiss is like kerosene
The rest of her only a memory
Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me
A picture so clear
A picture so clear that it's crystalline
Better run to the doctor, girl, run to the medicine
Don't wanna go cold turkey
I'll be your Napoleon be your crippled Alexander, but
Don't wanna go up the country
Shame there's nothing to hang it on
Except for this wreck that you made of me
A blackbird singin' a morning song, sing along
Sing to the end of a century
Sing it
Well I can't stand the thought of many more miles, but
I don't wanna go cold turkey
Here comes the highway can't you see what it made me
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley
Remember her kiss is a kerosene
The exile lives in a memory
A scarecrow singin' a morning song, sing along
Sing to the end of a century
Are you still with me Jesus so high on the mainline
Don't let me go up the country
Girl better run, better run for the medicine
Don't let me go cold turkey
Don't let me go cold turkey
Don't wanna go
