THE COUNTRY SONG

I asked the lord
For two horses and a gun
And a cowboy hat,
So I could ride into the sun
But he said no.

I asked my wife
If she could hold my tired hand
But I was not her kind
So she went lookin’ for a man
To tell her woes

I’ll find my way home tonight somehow
Even if my guide’s a firefly.
All I need is you right by my side
Waiting for the light.

I told myself
“Boy, you really need to try,
You need a brand new car,
You need a brand new life.”
And so I tried.

I took a job,
I worked from nine-to-five,
I bought a brand new car,
I found a brand new wife.
But I just cried.

I’ll find my way home tonight somehow,
Even if my guide’s a firefly.
All I need is you right by my side
Waiting for the light.

I asked the lord
If I could ride into the sun
With just a cowboy hat,
And two horses and a gun.
And he said go.

 

What Can I Tell You

 

When life isn’t working out
The way you thought it would
You thought you’d do better than
You actually could


Raise a shout
Then you’ll seek your dreams
Life is bigger
Than you thought it seemed


What can I tell you?
I said!
What can I tell you?


You never finished
Because you let them win
You gave up
Before you could begin


Show them what you can do
That is everything true


What can I tell you?
I said!
What can I tell you?
I said
What can I tell you?
I said!
What can I tell you?

Another Day

When your love has gone away
Broke your heart
And had her way
Remember there’s always another day, so stay


That’s where you’ll find your way
That’s where you’ll find your way


There is sunshine
And there is rain
Take all your love and heal the pain
Take all your love and kill the pain


When your job just pays the bills
Steals your sun
Leaves hollow thrills
Remember there’s always a better way, still

 

That’s where you’ll find your way
That’s where you’ll find your way


There is sunshine
And there is rain
Take all your love and heal the pain
Take all your love
Take all your love
Take all your love and kill the pain

The Monkey


I see the mole on the back of a monkey
Why ya gotta lie to live like a junkie
It’s easier to lie then it is to
Live
It’s easier to die then it is to
Live


Fly away
High away
To another day
Far away


Another lonely life
Another lonely day to dream it right
Another holy place
To find the light and sail away oh yeah


You are alone
You can’t go home
You are alone
You can’t go home


I don’t want my life to pass me by
I don’t want to live that same old lie
I don’t want to live a lie
I don’t want to live a lie
I don’t want to live to die

 

I lived my life like a high school flunky
Don’t know why I listened to that
Goddamned monkey
It’s easier to give in then it is to
Give
It’s easier to die then it is to
Live


Fly away
High away
To another day
Far away


Another lonely life
Another lonely day to dream it right
Another holy place
To find the light and sail away oh yeah


You are alone
You can’t go home
You are alone
You can’t go home


I don’t want my life to pass me by
I don’t want to live that same old lie
You are alone
I don’t want to live a lie
You can’t go home
I don’t want to live to die
You are alone
I don’t want to say
Good-bye

Alligator Agents


No matter what they tell you
On the lower east side
Them alligator agents
You know they lie
They lie
They lie


Them elevator babies
Going up and down
No matter what they sell you
It’ll bring you down
Down
Down


The way you’re goin
Your life won’t last
Sittin' home alone with a bottle of beauty
Your life won’t last
Little bottles full of desperate mourning
Your life won’t last
 

Three o’clock in the morning
Your head full of grass
You stumble round the city
Your life falls fast
Fast
Fast

 

You figure you’re a winner
You were lost but now you’re found
Withered face and polyester gear
But no disco queen’s around
Around
Around


The way you’re goin
Your life won’t last
Sittin home alone with a bottle of beauty
Your life won’t last
Little bottles full of desperate mourning
Your life won’t last

Damion Day


Oooooh
Damion Day if you had it your way
Life would never go astray
Damion Day you always want it your way
Isn’t ever what you say
Damion Day, what would you do
What would you do isn’t what you say


Have it your way poor Damion Day
Your mind is going strange
The life you make circles your brain
How, how, how can you ascertain
The watercolors in the rain
 

Oh, Damion Day
Oh, Damion Day
Oh, Damion Day


No one can save that Damion Day
Paint has maimed your mind
Fate has claimed your joy
Such a sad, poor boy
Is that really your name?
Or is it just one more sigh
To keep you sane?
To keep you sane?
To keep you sane?
 

Oh, Damion Day
Oh, Damion Day
Oh, Damion Day
 

Who will show you a different view?
Some poor fool named Jules
A fearful girl you won’t listen to
No repentant fox can ever save you


You’ve got to have it your way
Or life will go astray
A hedgehog wouldn’t have it
Any other way
Too late too late too late
For Damion Day, oh Damion Day
Too late too late too late
For Damion Day, oh Damion Day
Too late too late too late
For Damion Day, oh Damion Day
Too late too late too late too late
Too laaaaaaaaaaaate!!!!

All I Know


All I know is I love you
All I know is your laughter
You are what matters


You are my everything
You are my life
 

What would I do without you?
What would I do without you?
I would be forever bruised
 

All I know
All I know
All I know
Is your love
And it is enough
And it is enough
 

All I know is I love you
All I know is I love you
You are true, oooooh
You are true!

Honey-Colored Time


Are you singing for your supper baby?
Are you singing for your wine?
Well are you singing for your supper baby?
Or are you singing for your wine?


Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time baby
Well honey-colored time!
 

Gotta go down to the corner store
Gotta go down to the corner store
Gotta pick up my mind
Gotta pick up my mind


I’ve been told it’s been missing baby,
For quite some time!
Time, time, time!


Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time baby
Well honey-colored time!


I remember my childhood,
There was not a care!
I remember my childhood,
Oh I wish you were there!
 

Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time
Honey-colored time!

99 Cent Dreams


Every day I lose my soul,
In a pocket full of change and holes
Life isn’t worth much at all,
As the dirty cops exert control
 

But there’s a 99-cent dream for me,
If only they’d let me be
Because money is what makes you free,
At least that’s what they keep telling me!
 

You’ll never get out of debt
Even if you really try
It’s no longer 65
You will work until you die
 

But there’s a 99-cent dream for me,
If only they’d let me be
Because money is what makes you free,
At least that’s what they keep telling me!
 

I know I can’t buy whatever I see,
But some day I will be free
I will have money,
Look down on those with more
I will have money, but I’ll always want more
 

Every day I lose my soul/lose my soul
In a pocket full of change and holes/change and holes
So buy my dream from me/buy my dream from me
And I will be free/I’ll be free
And I will be free/I’ll be free
And I will/I’ll be free

After Autumn


After autumn will we be?
After autumn is there dreams?
After autumn will we be?
After autumn is there dreams?
Will we be?
After
I can’t see
After


And the trees sway so bare
Like ghosts with souls sprinkled in their hair
Liquid zeppelins stain the sky
A fading blue bruise that wounds me high
 

Why is cruelty so easy?
Why is cruelty so easy?
 

Autumn leaves still the air
Like light that’s gone away just disappeared
Winter rains last so long
Shadows lie in wait even after the dawn
 

Why is cruelty so easy?
Why is cruelty so easy?


Weak death chants no winter
No snowy death comes my way
on Autumn’s breath


Hope reduced
What is the truth?
Hope reduced
What is the truth?

Erase Face


She draws a face she doesn’t have
Into a face she does
She tries to draw, to cut away, to erase
The face she was before
The face she was before
She tries, she does
Forget the face she was
And the face she wanted more
The face she wanted more
The face she wanted more


Erase stick
Erase me
Erase stick
Erase me
Erase me


She replaces a face she used to have
With a face erase she does
She tries to draw, to cut away, to erase
The face she wanted more
The face she wanted more
She replaces and erases
Her many damaged faces
With the face she was before
The face she was before
The face she was before
The face she was before


Erase stick
Erase me
Erase stick
Erase me
Erase me

Soonest Mended


Can’t get through a bolted door
with nothing more than your random thoughts
 

You are too young you need to have been
around the block a time or two
 

No need to scream or shout
You have time to work it out
 

Cause soonest broken is, soonest mended is,
Stop keeping track of all the sins you’ve repented
 

Your day’s design may be unintended yeah
Still be proud of all the things you’ve attempted
 

You can learn our secret knock/our secret knock
Our secret handshake, our secret talk/our secret talk
You can learn to sing along
To this song
 

Take good notes and learn your lessons
Hang your drawings on the wall
 

Keep your two feet on the ground
And keep your head above the water
 

No need to scream or shout
You have time to work it out
 

Cause soonest broken, is soonest mended,
Stop keeping track of all the sins you’ve repented
 

Your day’s design may be unintended yeah
Still be proud of all the things you’ve attempted
 

You can learn our secret knock/our secret knock
Our secret handshake, our secret talk/our secret talk
You can learn to sing along
To this song

Show Me the Real World


I sing to you
Only to you
Under the moonlight, baby
Gonna make everything alright
‘til you see
Until you see
Until you see, yeah
 

Show me the real world
Show me the real world
Show me the real world
Show me the real world
 

Wanna be the only one
Wanna be the only one
Sit around in your desert sun
 

Wanna be the only one
Wanna be the only one
Just try’n to have myself a little fun
Wanna be the only one
 

I run to you
Only to you
Under the city-line, baby
Almost all the time
‘til you see
Until you see
Until you see, yeah
 

Show me the real world
Show me the real world
Show me the real world
Show me the real world

No Shot Was Fired


No shot was fired
Another false start
I’m putting together
What you’re pulling apart
 

Though we are children
We curse like adults
I’ve cut off my father
But wear his gold watch, yeah
 

One day I’ll learn the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn all the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn all the ways of the world
 

The sky in the winter
Is paler than white
I’ve emptied a bottle
In pale winter’s light.
 

Watching an ice storm
Hang glass on the trees
Falling leaves shatter
As frosted leaves drop, yeah
 

One day I’ll learn the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn all the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn the ways of the world
One day I’ll learn all the ways of the world

Lost Voices


I hear the thunder
Feel the pain
I lie awake
Listening to the rain
Lost voices
I hear them beg
I feel their loss
Turn and toss me


Will there ever be better choices?
Must I always hear lost voices?
I guess I’ll always hear, yeah
Lost voices in my ear


I hear the soldiers
Civilian screams
Peace keeping forces
Ain’t always what they seem
Cannon thunder
Rain of war
I lie awake
From the pain I saw


Will there ever be better choices?
Must I always hear lost voices?
I guess I’ll always hear, yeah
Lost voices in my ear


I hear lost voices
Can’t watch no more
Dead voices
Born from living war
It’s not so easy
As before
To see the souls
It bore


Will there ever be better choices?
Must I always hear lost voices?
I guess I’ll always hear, yeah
Lost voices in my ear

I Don’t Know God


I don’t know god
I don’t know me
Well, I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Will I ever know my soul?
Will I ever know?


When will I grow up?
When will they shut up?
 

So low
I’m so low


I want
I want
I want
I want
I want to know

 

I don’t know anything
I don’t know what life will bring
I don’t know anything but me
How can I know god?
If I don’t know me?
How can I believe in god?
If I don’t believe in me?


Damn their eyes who won’t see me
As someone more than I appear to be
 

So low
I’m so low
 

I want
I want
I want
I want
I want to know
My soul
Before I get old

Andrea


When you cry
I see your tears fall
I see your heart call
I see your world fall
 

Andrea
I love you
Andrea
Well I love you
 

If you give your love to me
Never shall I leave you see
Smiling on you
Let it smile on me
Maybe when we fell in love
We set our souls free
 

Sitting on top of the world
A story bout a boy and a girl
A story for you
A story for me
Let your heart set your heart free
Let your heart set your heart free
Let your heart set you free
 

Andrea set my heart
Andrea set my heart
Andrea set my heart free
Andrea set my heart free
Andrea set my heart free!
