An End Has A Start 04:04
lyrics

don't think that it's gonna rain again today There's a devil at your side but an angel on her way Someone hit the light 'cause there's more here to be seen When you caught my eye, I saw everywhere I'd been and wanna go to You came on your own, that's how you'll leave With hope in your hands and air to breathe I won't disappoint you as you fall apart Some things should be simple; even an end has a start Someone hit the light 'cause there's more here to be seen When you caught my eye, I saw everywhere I'd been and wanna go to You came on your own, that's how you'll leave With hope in your hands and air to breathe You'll lose everything by the end Still my broken limbs you find time to mend More and more people I Know are getting ill Pull something…

Burn The Flames 04:48
lyrics

Here I sit A vampire at my piano The flames burn glaringly higher And the eyes that stare through the darkness Though they have no form There's no need for alarm So burn, so burn, burn the flames Higher and higher So burn, burn the flames, never to expire Here I sit A skeleton at my organ The candles in my candelabra Burn hellishly hellish hell And the laughter unending echoes Through the haunted house A little Christmas spirit ghostly haunting deadly spirit Every creature is stirring Even a mouse So burn, so burn, burn the flames Higher, higher, higher and higher So burn, burn the flames, never to expire So burn, so burn, burn the flames Higher, higher, higher and higher So burn, burn the flames, never to expire Here I sit myself at my instruments Here they sit at their instruments And the music fills and fills, terrifies, horrifies, forever scares The children of the night What music we make So burn, so burn, burn the flames Higher and higher So burn, burn the flames, never to expire

Dying On The Vine 03:49
lyrics

I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it I wish someone would show me where to draw the line I'd lay down my sword if you would take it And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine I was with you down in Acapulco Trading clothing for some wine Smelling like an old adobe woman Or a William Burroughs playing for lost time I was thinking about my mother I was thinking about what's mine I was living my life like a Hollywood But I was dying on the vine Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter The troops, the celebrations in the sun The authorities say my papers are all in order And if I wasn't such a coward I would run I'll see you me when all the shooting's over Meet me on the other side of town Yes, you can bring all your friends along for protection It's always nice to have them hanging around I was thinking about my mother I was thinking about what's mine I was living my life like a Hollywood But I was dying, dying on the vine

Famous Blue Raincoat 05:21
lyrics

It's four in the morning, the end of December I'm writing you now just to see if you're better New York is cold, but I like where I'm living There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening. I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record. Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear? Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You'd been to the station to meet every train And you came home without Lili Marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody's wife. Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well I see Jane's awake She sends her regards. And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way. If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Well your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried. And Jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear

Gun Street Girl 03:08
lyrics

Falling James in the Tahoe mud Stick around to tell us all the tale He fell in love with a Gun Street girl and Now he's dancing in the Birmingham jail Dancing in the Birmingham jail Took a 100 dollars off a Slaughterhouse Joe Bought a bran' new Michigan 20 gauge Got all liquored up on that roadhouse corn Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette Bought a second hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese Dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco With a pawnshop radio, quarter past 4 Well he left Waukegan at the slammin' of the door He left Waukegan at the slammin' of the door I said, John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home I said John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home Sitting in a sycamore in St. John's Wood Soakin' day old bread in kerosene He was blue as a robin's egg brown as a hog Stayin' out of circulation till the dogs get tired Stayin' out of circulation till the dogs get tired Shadow fixed the toilet with an old trombone He never got up in the morning on a Saturday Sittin' by the Erie with a bull whipped dog Tellin' everyone he saw They went thatta way Tellin' everyone he saw They went thatta way Now the rain's like gravel on an old tin roof And the Burlington Northern's pullin' out of the world With a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw And a Gun Street Girl was the cause of it all A Gun Street girl was the cause of it all Riding in the shadow by the St. Joe Ridge He heard the click clack tappin' of a blind man's cane Pullin' into Baker on a New Year's Eve With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door Miss Charlotte took her satchel down to King Fish Row And she smuggled in a bran' new pair of alligator shoes With her fireman's raincoat and her long yellow hair, well They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire I said, John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home I said John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home Bangin' on a table with an old tin cup Sing I'll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again I'll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again I said, John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home I said John, John he's long gone Gone to Indiana Ain't never coming home

Let's not make it into a big thing Let's not get lost in this I know it is, I know we could I guess we surely would Let's pretend it's not It doesn't mean a thing Let's not blow it out of all senses As though it meant so much It's always thought about for weeks Not everytime your lips meet mine, I think of her But when her hands reach out, I think of you

Red Sun/How Soon Is Now 04:36

Well I hate to see the red red sun go down I hate to see the red red sun go down That's when the hogbone man lay his knuckle down I've become convinced that you're the one Cause you never flinch under the gun Lovers kneel by the roadside in pools of broken glass Gator tails fly like black angels from the wheels - as they pass am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does I am the son And the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does There's a club if you'd like to go You could meet somebody who really loves you So you go and you stand on your own And you leave on your own And you go home and you cry And you want to die When you say it's gonna happen "now" Well when exactly do you mean? See I've already waited too long And all my hope is gone You shut your mouth How can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved Just like everybody else does

River People 03:12
lyrics

Down here everyone says that the river people don't really belong here. I know what it's like to be a stranger and divide a town beside a frontier. People want your business and little more I've watched shadows lengthen from a closed door. Mountains wide, nothing is clearer to the river people than what the others try and hide. You spoke, pushed your chair back at the meeting and I could tell that you were petrified. You said the best people can suddenly oppose The sight of good will and then it arose. Two people, four people crossed the floor I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar Around here your stranded face before moonlight, the color of the sea. You came up to the house after swimming on sunset and the flattened sea. The sky had opened, it had gone bust You and I watched the river people swim before us The sky had opened, it had gone bust You and I watched the river people swim before us You said the best people could suddenly oppose The sight of good will and then it arose. Two people, four people crossed the floor I saw children run, I wept amidst the uproar Down here You came

Slow Show 03:35

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared Every minute more unprepared I made a mistake in my life today Everything I love gets lost in drawers I want to start over, I want to be winning Way out of sync from the beginning I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it Looking for somewhere to stand and stay I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away Can I get a minute of not being nervous And not thinking of my dick? My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in You could drive a car through my head in five minutes From one side of it to the other I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you and crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God I'm very, very frightening, I'll overdo it You know I dreamed about you For 29 years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for 29 years You know I dreamed about you For 29 years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for 29 years

Spanish Coast 03:09

Die, die, die on a Spanish coast Die like a clown with no friend around This used to be a Spanish town Die, die, die on a Spanish coast Die like a fly with no lover to sigh On a high white box in a pile of rocks You'll go crazy by the hazy sea Die, die, die on a Spanish coast Die like a love when you killed a dove If you don't believe Then your angels leave and you lose it You can't use it, life
