Only You

You say you're like the wind
Always gone but back again
The sun shines down on me
Laughing at my misery
I dreamt I was lying down
Dead upon the cold, cold ground
Does God dream of dying too
Or does He dream of only You?
I dreamt I was lying down
Dead upon the cold, cold ground
Does God dream of dying too
Or does She dream of only You?
Does God dream of dying too
Or does It dream of only You?

I got nothin' to lose
I gotta bottle of booze
I got nothin' to say
I got no money to pay
And I'm fallin' in love again for the second time today
And I'm runnin' from town to town tryin' not to get in the way
But sometimes I laugh for hours and I don't wanna leave ya now
There's places to be
And people to see
And there's work to be done
Before you have in fun
And I've been walkin' up and down the street tryin' to get away from it all
And I'm tossin' and turnin' and scratchin' and clawin' just to try not to fall
But sometimes I sing for hours and I don't wanna leave ya now
It's a hard way to go
It's all a big show
And I can't find the time
Or make up my mind
It's a long way to the top but it's an even longer way down
And the sun is hidin' but the moon is ridin' me up to the clouds
And sometimes I dream for hours and I don't wanna leave ya now

Everything That I Love
03:38

Mama, I hidin' under the table
And I know that I'm young and able
But Tell Papa I'm a rollin' stone
And I'm sleepin' over by the shady tree
Countin' to infinity
As gone as gone can be
And too high to be so low
And I'll take everything that I love
And pack it in a great big trunk
And I'll send it over the moon
Listen, I don't mean to get you down
I didn't come to push you around
But there's a majesty that's all around you
So put down your goddamn phone
And I swear I know I got what it takes
As sure as the sun is to wake
And if my heart should break
I'll find my way back home

When I think of all the things I've said
Some things good and some things bad
The best things I've said truthfully
You're the only one for me
The world just spins me round and round
With each day lost the next days found
I could search for all eternity
You're the only on for me
Death will haunt you
But I will walk you
Home from work on
The other side of town
Everything will always change
What I once knew has become strange
I'm changin' like the ragin' sea
You're the only one for me
Trouble's knockin' on my door
It's always coming back for more
You lock the door and hide the key
You're the only one for me
Death will haunt you
But I will walk you
Home from work on
The other side of town
When I think back on the things I've done
Some things right and some things wrong
The best things I've done selflessly
You're the only one for me
I love to see your smiling face
No one could ever take your place
You're the best thing that I've ever seen
You're the only one for me
Death will haunt you
But I will walk you
Home from work on
The other side of town

Promises

Elvis on the radio
Buzzin' like a stereo
Baby there's some good rockin' tonight
Not sure I'll be back again
Maybe in a second wind
I can't pretend I'm not afraid to die
Something's going on with me
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I think it's just eternity that's running out of time
I'm getting in the swing of things
Just seeing what tomorrow brings
Nothin' really means a thing except the sparkle in your eyes
Pacing up and down the floor
I'm nervous but I'm not sure what for
No one's really keeping score
So let's just say you win
I'm drowning in technology
And supernatural currency
What the hell does all that mean
It just sounds good I guess
Waiting for the world to end
Go to work then church on Sunday
Jesus take me home again
I'll give you all my hard earned money
I promise not to think too deep
But even god made promises he couldn't keep

I Am The Body
04:31
|

|
I kick the bucket and you kick the dust
You are on fire and I turn to rust
I am the window and you are the door
I ask for nothing and you scream for more
You drink the water and I drink the wine
I'm in the gutter and you are the divine
I am the ocean and you are the coast
I am the body and you are the ghost
You are the flower and I am the rain
You are the needle and I am the vein
I am the guest and you are the host
I am the body and you are the ghost
You are the city and I am the field
I am the dagger and you are the shield
You are the hammer and I am the nail
You are the wind and I am the sail
You are the person that I love the most
I am the body and you are the ghost

All Of The Time
03:26

Back in the lime light
Stuck in a fist fight
I can't think for you
I can't think at all
Memories make way
For broken back airwaves
Static and grass stains
And long empty halls
If I had more time
I'd do it like last time
But I'm doing just fine
This time around
Something seems different
I really can't place it
It's noon and I'm half lit
And I just wanna get down
I'll take you the distance
If you decide where I go next
I'll tell you the context
And you can give me the signs
Call me old fashioned
But I'll keep my arms open
And love you forever
All of the time
Tomorrow seems so far away
And eight years ago seems just like yesterday
So baby let's fall out
So we can fall back in
Turn into a myth
And then do it all again

White Light

White light...
I need you tonight
You whispered to me hold tight
And don't ever let go of my hand
Well alright, I think I'll be alright
If I could just see tonight
I will never let go of your hand
The cracks in the dawn
The beat of the drum
I will never let go of your hand
The dust in the night
The infinite flight
I will never let go of your hand
The one and the only
The strong and the holy
I will never let go of your hand
Today and tomorrow
The angel of sorrow
I will never let go of your hand
The wind and the rain
The fruit and the grain
I will never let go of your hand
The spirit of mercy
I will bow down before thee
I will never let go of your hand
The dirt and the stone
The flesh and the bone
I will never let go of your hand
I need you tonight
You whispered to me just hold tight
And don't ever let go of my hand
I will never let go of your hand

Happier

Days are flashing all around my head
It's like a movie that never seems to end
With black and white kisses, man that old time feeling's kickin' in
Once it's gone it's hard to get back again
I'll be happier when it's all over
Tangled shadows on the bedroom wall
Maybe they're god or maybe they're nothing at all
They're always racing and chasing and clawing up your back
When you're drifting it's hard to stay on track
You'll be happier when it's all over
Every morning lasts all afternoon
Every message ends with get well soon
Everything's goin' and flowin' all at the same time
When you're wrong it's hard to know what's right
We'll be happier when it's all over
Take me down little Suzy, take me down
I know you're the queen of the underground

She's An Angel Now
03:24

My baby died late last night
She's an angel now
I cried and cried but it's alright
Cause she's an angel now
I just can't wait till I'm at those pearly gates
Until I finally get to see her again
My baby died but it's alright
Cause she's an angel now

Wild eyed Suzy's packing up her bags
She's taking everything that's to be had
She don't know a lot of things
But she knows how to make me sing
I have never known a lot
But there's always something I forgot
It's alright, you'll always be my sunshine
Baseball games and hangin' from the trees
Hide and seek and bouncing trampolines
I have never seen a ghost
But all those things haunt me the most
I could see you every day
If things just went a different way
It's alright, you'll always be my sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
Don't take my sunshine away
You told me once that you loved me
Now you've broken all my dreams
Wild eyed Suzy makes her way back home
She takes her time to text me on the phone
Most things I will never know
I guess I'll just let them go
You can scream and shout, you can bat your eyes
But someday we must say goodbye
It's alright, you'll always be my sunshine

The Best That I Could Do
04:25
|
|||
|
Hangin' round on the bad side of town
Dryin' up on the bed
Chasin' days and small town parades
Gettin' sick in the head
Drivin' up and down the block
Until the conversation finally stopped
Then you'd drop me off at home
With cigarettes on my breath
And rock n' roll to keep me right on track
Like a train out of control
Hotel rooms and honey afternoons
On sunburnt coast of Californ'
Saints in drag and God's in paper bags
And I've been knockin' at your door
And my skin is paper thin
But all my broken hearts keep beating
I can feel them every day
And what's worse is that I'm cursed
To sing the same old love song played out in reverse
It's a beautiful decay
This is the best that I could do
I'm not the man I though that I would be
I got lost along the way
But I'm good
In fact I think I might be happy
And I know that I'm okay

Without You
05:52
|

|
It's not important to be anything
But now I'm everything and nothing too
Another Sunday morning eulogy
Another empty seat at breakfast for two
Bowie's dancin' in the street
I'm positively beat without you
My head is filled with CO2
I'm permanently blue without you
I headin' out on highway 88
I hope it's not too late to pull on through
But traffic's really just a dull parade
A mindless cavalcade till I get to Arbor Avenue
I'm always begging for a bone
And I'm constantly alone without you
The missing pieces may be found
But I'm definitely down without you
There's a thousand ways that this could go wrong
It's an endless cycle of depravity
But every day when it's all said and done
You can count on me
Cause everything happens eventually
I'd go walk onto an airplane
And walk right off again and say I flew
This weather really has been killin' me
And I mean literally and figuratively too
Growin' up it ain't so bad
Now confidently sad without you
I dress the part and fit the bill
Now I'm terminally ill without you

Fun

Hey pretty baby can I have some more
Let's take a long walk to the liquor store
Little Richard's spinnin' on the record machine
I want you to be my rock n' roll queen
We're in too deep and we're just outa sight
We're gonna have some fun tonight
O holy Moses I'm stuck in between
It's the most fucked up place that I've ever been
My eyes are on fire and my brain's in a whirl
I want you to be my calendar girl
I might disagree but I don't wanna fight
I wanna have some fun tonight
O my God I gotta get my fill
I started on the bottom now I'm over the hill
Tomorrow we'll be working so take my hand
I wanna be your street fighting man
Let's let loose, let's not get uptight
Let's have some fun tonight
