Its all gone to hell and back you’re hungry and tired falling out of bed you miss her so she missed your show but thats alright can touch my paper route

You were too young to be sad Last time you’d say mom and dad But you put up your brick walls and now you’re fine You taste so much harder than wine Forceful indifference to the sun You just couldn’t trust anyone Your pictures on the wall are all gone Don’t be scared for too long Little blue chin wont you rise Kings have seen their shit too Gold painted wives brand new And I watched you drown in your sleep So here is my hand to keep You can’t silence all the trains You can’t step in the dark with those pains If you want to be alone ill be on my way Just think between the frames Little but chin wont you rise

Lion 03:04
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout First came the rain then came the drought And I told you to stay healthy its good for your bones It’s harder for you when you feel so alone There’s a lion in your heart I could see it from the start So put your boots back on and your troubles will be gone There’s and eagle in your eyes it should be no surprise That he who has to time for you can go to hell The itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout First came the rain then came the drought And I will hold your hand were gonna make a winning stand It’s easy for you now you have a home in the world There’s a lion in your heart I could see it from the start So put your boots back on and your troubles will be gone There’s and eagle in your eyes it should be no surprise That he who has to time for you can go to hell The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout First came the rain then came the sun The cannons will all cease and the smoke will wash away I said id love you and that’s a promise I will keep There’s a lion in your heart I could see it from the start So put your boots back on and your troubles will be gone There’s and eagle in your eyes it should be no surprise That he who has to time for you can go to hell

Across the lake that’s where my baby stay There’s a signal fire every first Friday Ill work all day and I can work all night To pay for a boat and that will make things right Pockets are poor and eyes are rich with sun Give me your skin and love oh lonesome one Times have been worse like in 1998 When the lake went dry and we were filled with hate Our two-tone hearts are beating once again Lets scream all night in my shoes just tell me when Tear off the mask oh powerful loving soul You’re the music and music is my soul

Crash 03:21
Lock up all my heartbreak and throw away the key There’s abandoned burning grizzly bear that got me on my knee There’s a love that I once knew and held, a window to the sea But the telephone tells me to ring and the chains make me feel free So piece me back together Help me find the seed The voices that are yelling now Don’t give me what I need Don’t say It will be alright that’s how its always been The baby grew up straight and tall and then she learned to sin Its alright momma ill be home tonight, before the sweat breaks through And when we learn to fight again ill break right through the blue But don’t tell me how you see me now Id prefer you write it down I miss the black dress hugging you But in the moment I am sound

When night comes falling and you don’t know what’s right The stone on your back makes it harder to fight The passion perception is growing in me The passion perception is growing in me When the toothache is gone but the blood it still comes The wars are all won but they still have guns The chords are all strung but the music is dead You can’t help but think all the words have been said The passion perception is growing in me The passion perception is growing in me You’re drunk on the pier finding God in the sky Oh brother oh brother I’m here don’t you cry The passion perception is growing in me The passion perception is growing in me It’s all right poppa we came here to mourn Lets go back inside I can see where its warm The night by the fire felt good it felt right Away with my stone and away with this fight The passion perception is growing in me The passion perception is growing in me

Conscious night I’ve been waiting on you Conscious night I want you to see me through Bars support the weight of freedom now Cradle me my baby in the dark Shining winter I see you’re smiling good Oh the morning I’ll wipe my porcelain tears Where the hell did you say we were? Where the hell did you say you were from? On the inside I see were humming home Cradle me my baby in the dark Shining winter I see you’re smiling good Oh the morning ill wipe my porcelain tears Holy ocean I feel no gun Holy ocean won’t see me run Echoes sharply voice in my brain I saw my words I saw my words I saw my words In her mouth Shining winter I see you’re smiling good Oh the morning ill wipe my porcelain tears

Hustle 02:15
Way way back in February of a year I cant remember I was living in a tent in the middle of the desert With the wind at my back and a hat with a feather It was peaceful times it was hard times it was peaceful times it was hard times But I knew I had to get across that desert And it seems I cant remember, what the weather was like that next December But my best friend milo got a camera and man we filmed the world Then we got drunk on Christmas eve , wrote a song about all our tears All our friends danced and danced and man we filmed the world The oh my gosh I grew a beard, ‘bout eight feet long down to the floor The girls didn’t like it and my mom didn’t like it, but it just made me smile Then I looked in the mirror after 8 short weeks and shaved it off after tears of joy It felt real right and I felt real light and then I kissed a girl Oh I don’t know where that girl is now probably has a family with seventeen kids But it was all real loving I know that everything about it made me grow I’m not sad I’m alright the world is a mountain uphill fight I found what it meant to be a man put all my hopes into a can Poured it out into the wind and then I saved myself

The burden of the death is pretty. Like a lonesome dove roamin' over the sea. As the ghosts of the night keep me in my dreams. My craving for the answers is bursting at the seams. Many more mornings to come. As I gaze here at my bed where my love and I have laid. and the thousand times ive smiled. and the thousand crooks I’ve paid. The cowboys are still fighting six feet in their graves. Their pistols drawn and whips of fire their country they must save. Many more mornings to come. The golden boys of the Texas town come out of the ground. As the saints reappear with love as a sound. The answers that you're searching for are buried at your feet. The nights that you've spent cryin' your tears you will defeat. Many more mornings to come.

Old Movies 03:29
Old movies now we’re drinking I would rise beside you Thick pages between us I would pray beside you Change the light it’s so bright We could dance in the dark Change the leaves they’re so blue Change them for my mind You’re so goddam worth it My microphone my sound Sidestep pain and strangers Ill always be around Hear stampedes hear voices Breathe them out with soul This is not my ballad This is just my voice Lets watch the old movies in my room Lets watch the old movies in my room Because we are new we are cool Because we are new we are cool

Celebrate 05:02
Here’s to the angels that made me cry. Here’s to the angels that made me trouble Here’s to the angels that made me love You’re all so fucking special Wrestled me down and beaten till I bleed Kissed me right and left me on the floor And I stayed there and wondered who I was to you But it never mattered cause I get by on my own And I lost my hat in the Tallahassee mud Sold my buttons for a newer one It’s so hard for me to say hello When every goodbye has me burned up dry And I pass by the old house on the way to work Its got the old shutters and a hobo sleeps in my chair I remember those dreams and what they did to me Cursed me forever with a shoulder heavy and strong Celebrate the times that I thought I had died To live for the moment when everything’s all right I’m happy that the car crash didn’t kill us on the scene I’m so happy that the car crash didn’t kill us on the scene Omaha is coming and Omaha is coming up right Omaha is coming and Omaha is coming up good
