"War Memorial"
(with Duke Garwood)

"War Memorial"
(with Duke Garwood)



Good, have I done good?
I fell on command
Give me my first and last medal

Observed in ritual behind the door
A heavy ivory white door
Where I've come off my hinges

Fire underground, I murdered a sentry there
Without wanting to
Wasn't nothing else to do

Saw a squad of deserters hung from an oak
Saw officers shot from their saddles
Through driving snow and through black smoke

With a pack of feral dogs snapping at my hooves
Eyes rolled back in their heads
The blank blessed eyesight of the dead

Entire battalions snuffed like a spark
Beat like a heart
Drowned by an ocean

Don't tell me the ending of the play
Don't make me look
Look in the mirror

"Way To Tomorrow"

"Way To Tomorrow"



Carry that weight but it's too heavy lord
Walk that mile but it's too far to go
Out in the wintertime
Lost, I can't get over
Can't find my way to tomorrow

There's driving rain there's ice and there's snow
No place to rest, nothing to know
Look for some better times
But I can't get over
Can't find my way to tomorrow

"Wedding Dress"

"Wedding Dress"



Would you put on that long white gown and burn like there's no more tomorrows?
Will you walk with me underground and forgive all my sicknesses and my sorrows?

Will you be shamed if I shake like I'm dyin'
When I fall to my knees and I'm crying?

Will you visit me where my body rests
Will you put on that long white dress?

Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada
The end could be soon, we'd better rent a room so you can love me

Will you put on that long white dress while I burn when there's no more tomorrows?
Will you remember me through the years I'll miss and forget all the sadnesses and the sorrows?

Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada

We got married in a fever, now you love me
Get a room, so you can love me

"Wheels"

"Wheels"



Light ahead, proves that the wheels broke down
Here I am, still hangin' on
Well alright
Shadows only disappear
Just look around there's no one here
A little spirit turned my light on out and now
Can never be no doubt
You got to walk in the morning sun
And got to smile at everyone
Go my love on your way, to bigger and
Bright better days
And I'll go crazy for it all
And I won't stop lovin' you baby
Oh yeah here I am
This feeling inside a body
Light ahead, proves that the wheels broke down
Here I am, still spinnin' round
Shadows only disappear
Just look around there's no one here
A little spirit turned my light on out and now
Can never be no doubt
I'm gonna wait til the stars come down
My little love smiles on a wing
For all a raindrop and tears not wasted there
Been pourin' down all day
Runnin' round catchin' 'em baby
Run around catchin' 'em baby
Whichever way they fall
Won't stop lovin' you baby
Whichever way you go
Oh yeah
Here I am
Here I am
Just runnin' round catchin' 'em
Whichever way they fall
All night long

"When It's In You (Methamphetamine Blues)"

"When It's In You (Methamphetamine Blues)"



When it's in you
You won't wanna leave this living so soon
When it's in you
And now it's brand new
The days roll on like sugar so sweet
When it's in you

The scarecrow stands at the top of the stairs
And I shoot
Let the radio play methamphetamine blues
Until I lose
Now that it's in you

When it's in you
You won't wanna leave this living so soon
When it's in you
Everything brand new
The days roll on like sugar so sweet
Everything brand new

The scarecrow stands at the top of the stairs
And I shoot
Let the radio play methamphetamine blues
Until I lose
Now that it's in you
Now that it's in you

"When Your Number Isn't Up"

"When Your Number Isn't Up"



Did you call for the night porter?
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don't see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
No one needs to tell you that
There's no use for ya here anymore
And where are your friends?
They've gone away
It's a different world, they left you to this
To janitor
The emptiness
So let's get it on
When the sun is finally going down, and you're overdue to follow
But you're still above the ground
What ya got comin' is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
Did they call for the night porter
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well I've been waitin' at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone

"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"



My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows

Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

"Who Built The Road"

"Who Built The Road"



Who built the road
That lived in my self esteem
Twisted and crunched
Black metal and bones

Who passed the buck
Who pressed my flesh to yours
Spilling like wine
And sweeter than tears

(Oh, I hope we more than survive
With trembling visions that terrify)

So who built the road
Who turned it all around
Picked through the wreck
Scrambled in the dust

Who built the road
Who was the foolish one
Step out of time
Two hearts in the fire

Who lit the touch
Who fanned the flames
With sparks in the dust
Spent rivers of desire

(Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes
We stumble along with so many more to make)

So who built the road
Who could foresee
That the answers we sought
Were many miles to go

Lah lah...

We were so lonely at times
Fading away
Sitting side by side
Now we built the road
We were the chain gang
We crossed that at war
The devil at my side
Dark angel within
The ever lasting fire

Lah lah...

"Wild Flowers"

"Wild Flowers"



I have to watch you come back to the river
Now it's all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you

In my mind I've done good things
And never cared why
And my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

Looks like the hour is upon us
It's turnin' so cold
When everything said's either faded out
Or written in stone

If you could find an easier road, you'd take it today
You could have taken me anywhere
You just take it away

I have to watch you come back to the river
If it's all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers
Are waiting for you

Have we ever done good things
And never cared why
'Cause my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

"Wish You Well"

"Wish You Well"



He wrote a name
With the needle gun
In black and blue
Your eyes are stone she said
Beautiful and dead
And I wish you well
I took a turn on this carousel
How long ago now, I never can tell
I never stopped to wonder
Maybe a morning, maybe, a thousand years
I only walk high wires
Attend a needing
The magnolia's dying
Long coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live, forever
What I once saw burning bright as hell, now here comes that weird chill
I don't stop to wonder

Threaded a name
Through the needle's eye
As a frame
Tied the ends and stitched it up
And hung my head down and wept
But I wish you well
Who'll pray for the killer's sake
I used to be so wide awake
Like certain mornings
That last a thousand hours
Long coarse and primitive
I wish love, lord
I wish love could live forever
I'm burning bright at hell, here comes that weird chill
But I wish you well
Your eyes are stone she said, truly beautiful and dead
I wish you well
I want to ride on this carousel
But, I never really stopped to wonder
