"For The Turnstiles"

"For The Turnstiles"



All the sailors
with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore,
Singin' songs
for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars
at the door.

You can really
learn a lot that way
It will change you
in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence
may be shattered,
It doesn't matter.

All the great explorers
Are now in granite laid,
Under white sheets
for the great unveiling
At the big parade.

You can really
learn a lot that way
It will change you
in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence
may be shattered,
It doesn't matter.

All the bushleague batters
Are left to die
on the diamond.
In the stands
the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles.

"Fork In The Road"

"Fork In The Road"



Got a pot belly
It's not too big
Gets in my way
When I'm driving my rig

Driving this country
In a big old rig
Things I've seen
Mean a lot

Friend has a pickup
Drives his kid to school
Then he takes his wife
To beauty school

Now she's doin' nails
Gonna get a job
Got a good teacher

There's a fork in the road ahead
I don't know which way I'm gonna turn
There's a fork in the road ahead

About this year
We salute the troops
They're all still there
In a fucking war
It's no good
Whose idea was that?

I've got hope
But you cant eat hope
I'm not done
Not giving up
Not cashing in
Too late

There's a bailout coming but it's not for me
It's for all those creeps watching tickers on TV
There's a bailout coming but it's not for me

I'm a big rock star
My sales have tanked
But I still got you
Thanks
Download this
Sounds like shit

Keep on bloggin'
'Til the power goes out
Your battery's dead
Twist and shout

On the radio
Those were the days
Bring 'em back

There's a bailout coming but it's not for you
It's for all those creeps hiding what they do
There's a bailout coming but it's not for you
Bailout coming but it's not for you

Got my flat screen
Got it repo'd now
They picked it up
Left a hole in the wall
Last Saturday
Missed the Raider's game

There's a bailout coming but it's not for you
There's a bailout coming but it's not for you
It's for all those creeps hiding what they do

"Friend Of Mine"

"Friend Of Mine"



Live to ride,
ride my dream machine
Good conditions
sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,
ride in the lonesome wind
Cross the line,
you can't come back again
Never let a dream machine
Gather dust in your garage
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,
ride my dream machine.

"From Hank To Hendrix"

"From Hank To Hendrix"



From Hank to Hendrix
I walked these streets with you
Here I am with this old guitar
Doin' what I do.

I always expected
That you should see me through
I never believed in much
But I believed in you.

Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

From Marilyn to Madonna
I always loved your smile
Now we're headed
for the big divorce
California-style.

I found myself singin'
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end.

Can we get it together
Can we still stand side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

Sometime it's distorted
Not clear to you
Sometimes the beauty of love
Just comes ringin' through.

New glass in the window
New leaf on the tree
New distance between us
You and me.

Can we get it together
Can we still walk side by side
Can we make it last
Like a musical ride?

"Fuckin' Up"

"Fuckin' Up"



Mindless drifter on the road
Carry such an easy load
It's how you look,
and how you feel
You must have
a heart of steel.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

I can see you on a hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath
your flowing gown
Only I could
bring you down.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Dogs that lick
and dogs that bite
Hounds that howl
through the night
Broken leashes
are all over the floor
Keys left hanging
in a swinging door.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Keep fuckin' up!

"Fuel Line"

"Fuel Line"



Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!

Her engine's running and the fuel is clean
She only uses it 'cause she's a machine
She don't use much though, just to get around

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

The awesome power of electricity
Stored for you in a giant battery
She don't use much though, that's smart for a car

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!

The world is ready for a whole new game
Some old-timers wanna stay the same
They like to advertise how clean and green they are

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

But she don't listen to what they say
She burned the mess they clean(?) instead
She don't use much though, that's smart for a car

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!
Fill her up!

She's not the car that she used to be
Keep ready for you, and she's ready for me
Into the future that's her destiny

(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)
(Keep filling that fuel line) (Keep filling that old fuel line)

"Gateway Of Love"

"Gateway Of Love"



Try to find
The perfect time
To say something to you
Filled with meaning
Filled with truth

If I could just live my life
as easy as a song
I'd wake up someday
and the pain will all be gone
Help me now I'm sinking fast,
I gotta get along
To the Gateway of Love
Gateway Of Love

Background noise
On a changing sky
You'll be making love to me
I still feel you
In my heart's eye

But I'm just a dusty soul
with nothing much to say
Down here in the hay,
bound to stay that way
I've got almost everything
except that little key
To the Gateway of Love
Gateway of Love

Some will say
Theres a place on high
Where angels rip their wings
And babys learn to fly
Some will say
There's a place on high

But I'd like to stay down here,
try to love someone
Here in this life
where we watch the bouncing sun
I'd just like to hold her hair
and bring her back to me
At the Gateway of Love
Gateway of Love

If I could just live my life
as easy as a song
I'd make up some game
and the pain would all be gone
Help me now I'm sinking fast,
I gotta get along
To the gateway of love
Gateway of Love

"Get Back On It"

"Get Back On It"



Think I'll get back on the highway
I hope I'll see you soon
Get back on it, get back on it
Think I'll get back on the highway
I hope I'll see you soon
Get back on it, get back on it
I may be late in comin' though
I got some things I gotta do

Don't let me see your tail lights
I pull a heavy load
Get back on it, get back on it
Don't let me see your tail lights
I pull a heavy load
Get back on it, get back on it
There ain't no way
to stop it though
Oh, it might explode.

It's too late for General Custer
Too late for Robert E. Lee
Get back on it, get back on it
It's too late for General Custer
Too late for Robert E. Lee
Get back on it, get back on it
But I'll get back on the highway
Before it's too late for me
Get back on it, get back on it.

Think I'll get back on the highway
I hope I'll see you soon
Get back on it, get back on it
Think I'll get back on the highway
I hope I'll see you soon
Get back on it, get back on it
I may be late in comin' though
I got some things I gotta do.
