St. Anthony
It was a long, long road on which I died And I leaned so much in those days, I woke up on my side I said “Driver, Alive, if you can hear, then let me off here” And when he did my face, my friend, was a picture of fear When the road moves on, let it push you along When the road moves on, →
Burnin
Running the motor that moves you along is a dangerous game Feeling the fractals of light that ignite from a broken pane Put on the water and turn it to ice, there’s a storm outside Run from the window with terror abright that you’re burning alive Riding along and singing a song of hope and faith While under the seat the bottles crack as the →
Jack Shack
Roll it up, drain your cup We’re going out, all of us Dollar bills and cheap, cheap thrills Where we go nobody needs to know Get in the van, your shaking hands Will soon be beating double time The Working day will just melt away When we walk through them doors We’re going to the Jack Shack We’re going to get the dime back Calling all you stray cats We’ll meet →
Winter Song
If you just leave me alone I could find my home Stumble through the branches I will be alright when there’s morning light And the clouds have used their chances You’re the funniest thing that a mind could bring To the paths of a forest winter Covered in white and gifted with flight I knew that there could be no other But I know, I know That winters come →
Moderated Man
New England morning and a lager-wrecked brain Pink swollen eyelids and a trembling frame Cold burning water, douse the flames in my veins Ghost in the mirror and spit down the drain Gray running highway, the buildings and trees Focus dead forward and I’m yearning for sleep Sun cuts across so confident and free Makes me so sad as the time passes me Cause I’m a moderated man I →
Good Girl
She’s got cinnamon sticks in her lips She only smiles before she spits She’ll take the wheel right out of your hands We’re going over the rails and into the dam So come on… She’s a good girl But she’s nothing but bad to me So amazed at the love that she feels And I’m so scared to death of the fist that she wields When it’s coming, I →
Goodnight Moon
Sweet September honey, gold and true Leaves surround your body resting in the dew And you’re tired, too You are as pale as the moon And I’m torn in two over you So goodnight moon, whatever you do Please watch over her, watch over her true I am begging you to see through Through all of the gray smoke and smog and gloom I am begging you Lovely, lonely morning, →
Beyond Free
Listen to me if you want to see The gold lights of eternity Open your heart and close your eyes We’re going deep to the other side You cannot fight it You must invite it To be with me Spark it up and light it You must ignite it So you can see Ride on while the moment’s still strong Hold still and let your cup be filled Rolling seas bring it →
Beaver Fever
I went down, down, down, all the way to Georgia I went down, down, down, all the way to hell Tried to drown, drown, drown, like Randy California But the sound, sound, sound, would not take me to bed I was bound, bound, bound, tighter than the hangman’s But I’m bound, bound, bound, to burn before I’m dead There were cries, lies and anger, coming from →
Sinister Minister
From the brooding cliffs to the razor shores To the breathless caves to them iron doors There was loosed a man from the sands of time Who leads the way from two steps behind He’s going to break your heart and make you crawl with fear He’s going to say the words that you want to hear Fill your head with lies, he’s a sinister minister When →
With You All Along
I want you to be here (I am) with you all along
Boo Hoo
I’ve been dead inside for most of my life I get stuck in the bottom of the bucket My eyes get wide and I take a look inside Bad luck hits, I’m stuck in the bucket I push all night just to try and tip it right I lose my breath and I fall to my knees I can see that sky and the clouds pass →
Big Bad
I’m looking for leaf, man I’m looking for a white line I’m looking for brown sunshine Cause I’m missing your red head And I’m burning up blue I’m running down road signs Cause I’m coming after you I’m losing my head now My teeth are all dulled down My claws are all but broken Cause I’m so in love with you And I’ve got it so bad I never meant to scare →
Home
She’s the mother of evil, the harvester of healers and she will come She’s the driver and dealer, the jailer and freer and she will come She’s the magic one’s daughter, who then taught her how to hurt most everyone And when eyes focus clear she’ll be near to bring smoke where there was none So hold on when you’re right near the end She’ll →
Jesus
Jesus gonna save me now Cause I gotta go, I gotta go Everybody jump and shout We’re all gonna go, yeah all gonna go Where everyone goes? Nobody knows Everybody come get down Cause we’re all gonna go, yeah all gonna go Where everybody goes? Nobody knows We’re sinking down to the bottom And I can hear the thunder And I can see the rain I can taste the acid And I can feel →
Sandy
Sometimes I wish I never met you, I wish I looked the other way Then I wouldn’t be so turned around In the mess I’m in today I’m so helpless, Like a baby in your arms One glance form a distance And I’m forever in your charms Hey, Sandy, don’t believe what I say Let’s forget that we ain’t working out And hit the road today Let’s go out driving Down them →
Millions of People
She’s a sailor’s dream Asleep in her jeans Laying down love So clean and obscene With the space in her teeth And the dirt in her hair Take it all in We’re gonna do it again Cause I think I’m in love With millions of people moving along We got bottles of wine Empty and dried And those hot street signs Pulse in from outside With your keys in the door And the clothes on →
Baby Rock Me
Shadowed words of warning, too foreign to understand Echo down the deepest well, “Won’t you hear me as I am?” My eyes well-up at the silence, faltered dreams and rain Toss and turn in the violence, I call out in pain Baby rock me, all night long Running down to the basement, veins are full of flames Hiding from the Devil’s words that call me by →
Highway
I’m going to crash my car right into a lake I’m going to stop my heart for Jesus’ sake Going to give my energy back to the world You need a jumpstart from a young heart There’s a drop of blood at the end of the day A pinprick of light a million miles away Some call it hope and some call it faith My Lord’s a →
Round The Dust
Burning out around the world, sending thoughts to a newborn girl Falling down from ageless clouds with words that shine like pearls Filtered through the smog and gloom to dance upon your ears Crystal clean and full of dreams for only her to hear Touching down on ancient ground, too slowly to be real Mind is lost to an albatross breathless above the keel And I →
S.O.S.
I’ll sleep in my car for another night When I awake it will be alright, I know That I’m letting my temper show I’m so screwed like my dear old dad I used to hate him now he makes me sad, I know That I’m letting the bad parts go And that I’m teaching them to grow I’m sorry doesn’t mean anything Unless I’m willing to change, but →
Give It To It
I’m a clean living, hardworking man I do what I can I live alone with a bottle or two I drive a Ford Econoline van Now the years have been hard on the hands Misunderstood I live alone with a voice or two And Lord knows that they good But right now I’ve gotta do it Right now I’m gonna give it to it Right now Three o’clock gets farther away But it makes →
Moanin
I shoot better in the morning My hands are steady in the morning I aim truer in the morning I got you moanin in the morning You’re going to feel it through the floor You’re going to hear it through the door When I give it in the morning I got you moanin in the morning When I’m coming straight for you There ain’t nothing you can do As →
The Major
If by sea she called to me, “I’ll be around when your ship runs aground All our youth we gave to love And now I need a little something more” Cause she’s trapped when she ought to be free And she’s looking at me as though I held the key I play dumb, cause she knows that I’m young But when she turns to the sun and →
