Low
Sometimes I wanna take you down.
Sometimes I wanna get you low.
Brush your hair back from your eyes.
Take you down let the river flow.
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS:
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stone.
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey hey hey like being stone.
A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
Just one rose and knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
REPEAT CHORUS
Blue blue is the sun.
Brown brown is the sky.
Green green of her eyes.
A million miles a million miles
Hey hey don't you wanna go down
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles a million miles
REPEAT CHORUS

Well the movie star, well she crashed
her car.
But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head.
Everyone said she was dangerous.
Well the chief of police kept the crime

But deep in his heart, we all knew he felt differently.
We all knew he was an anarchist.
Well I'd

Get
Off This
All these cats with holey jeans, dirty
hair and titty rings,
Say what your scene man, we got these questions.
Is it true that you have sold your soul? I say hey man,
I don't know
Lend me a quarter won't you, I'll call my accountant.
CHORUS:
Let's get off this, and get on with it,
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth and start
to spin it
Get off this, get on with it
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth and start
this minute
Petty little Ayatollah come around
to judge and stone ya

Yeah we ain't got no government loans, and no one sends
a check from home
And get this: we're just doin' what we wanna
REPEAT CHORUS
Well the guitar player stayin' out

He's just trying' to get some sleep, but everyone's complain'
Are you truly deeply cynical 'cause boy you know I loved

When no one knew your name and you were pompous. Still are
REPEAT CHORUS
Let's get off this, and get on with

If you wanna change the world shut yer mouth and start to

Get off this, get on with it
If you wanna change the world shut your mouth, shut your

Kerosene
Hat
CHORUS:
Everything seems like a dream
and life's a scream.
Here come old Kerosene Hat
With his ear flaps waxed, a courting' his girl
Come clattering in here on your old cloven skates
With that devilish spoon
CHORUS:
Everything seems like a dream
And life's a scream
When you're submarine
So don't you bother me death with your
leathery ways
and your old chaise lounge (old chaise lounge)
Wickerman's fence of leathery tyres
And the cook's gone bad, started several fires
CHORUS:
Everything seems like a dream
When your submarine
Head like a stream she says softly
to me
from the rattling chair
Bring me a steak and my old pair of crows,
my medicine lamp
CHORUS:
Everything seems like a dream
So life's a scream
(life's a scream)
Take
Me Down To The Infirmary
Take me down
to the infirmary
lay me down
on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth
on my forehead
lay me down
and let me sleep
I know the whiskey won't soothe my
soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart
but if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.
So, take me down
to the infirmary
walk a sound that is as blue as her eyes
Oh, sister Magdelene won't you fetch the
doctor's flask.
He is going to need a steady
a steady hand
I know the whiskey it won't soothe
my soul
and the morphine won't heal my heart
but if you take me down to the infirmary
I won't have to sleep or drink alone.
So, take me down
to the infirmary
lay me down on cotton sheets
put a damp cloth on my forehead
lay me down let me sleep
lay me down let me sleep
Nostalgia
While his heart is splintered
All the girls of winter
are buried in their coats anonymous
While winter girls are waiting
Ivanovich in high rotation
He is just another star
up in the sky
While the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation
of something long ago and far away
Like general Jackson's arm
it's buried on some farm
While the fever
pushes words from his lips
And by the drunken river
where the soldiers shiver
We rest beneath the shade of the trees.
While winter girls are saying
each of us a tiny nation
You're just another star
but so am I.
While the world was waiting
We're overwhelmed by some sensation
of something long ago and far away
Sweet
Potato
Well, I been caught stealin'
someone else's vibe,
everybody loves or hates us,
but we're still alive
CHORUS:
Well wake up in the morning
cup of coffee, grab your bags
jump into the caddie
'cause this tourin' ain't a drag.
They say overrated, educated
I suppose a little jaded.
When I get off this
I think I'm gonna have to be sedated.
So be my sweet potato,
I'll be your honey lamb,
give me some black tupelo,
I been caught again. Shit!
I went to New York City,
but then I come right back,
everyone was cool there,
I couldn't get no slack
You seen me in the papers,
You seen me in the Voice,
I think I'd stay in Dixie,
if I had the choice.
REPEAT CHORUS
Sick
Of Goodbyes
If I could just keep
my stupid mind together.
Then my thoughts across
the land for you to see.
The sun drags locomotives
to the ocean.
No one knows this like I do.
Seconds clicking watch arm
changes to dust.
Whithered roots of hair
and nights of rust.
I'm waiting in the currents
of the ocean.
I'm so sick of goodbyes goodbyes
CHORUS:
I'm so sick of goodbyes goodbyes
I'm so tired of goodbyes goodbyes
Goodbyes
Goodbyes
When night comes crawling
in on a horse.
Soaking up my dreams
through the pores.
I'm so sick
I'm so sick of goodbyes goodbyes
Goodbyes
Goodbyes
REPEAT CHORUS
I
Want Everything
I am standing in your corridor
I wonder what I am waiting for
The leaves are drifting out to sea
I'm waiting for you desperately
CHORUS:
All things beautiful
All things beautiful
I want ev'rything
I want ev'rything
You call us with your silent seas
You call us in our tiny boats
Gather us in with the storm
And cast us out upon the shore
REPEAT CHORUS
You are deep inside this fecund swamp
Or let it be your beating heart
You're deep inside this fecund swamp
You call us in our tiny boats
REPEAT CHORUS
I want ev'rything
I want ev'rything
I want ev'rything
I want ev'rything
Lonesome
Johnny Blues
Well, lucky number seven passed me by
Lucky number seven called my name and passed on by
Well he came back don't you know
with his brother six in tow
And that is how number thirteen wound up by my side.
And that is how I got these Lonesome
Johnny Blues
How I got these Lonesome Johnny Blues
Got the Lonesome Johnny Blues
and there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
Here we go
Grim Reaper he pulled up into my drive
Grim Reaper pulled his little old Chevrolet right up onto
the goddamn drive
"Johnny, I haven't come for you
but I want someone who's dear to you
and the price you pay is to remain alive"
And I'll stay here with these Lonesome
Johnny Blues
Stay here with these Lonesome Johnny Blues
With the Lonesome Johnny Blues
and there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
Woah, no more trouble send him down
the road, won't you please.
No more trouble won't you beat him up, won't you send him
down the road
Trouble dumped out the trash
Ransacked the place for cash
and he wound up taking much more than I own
And he left me with these Lonesome
Johnny Blues
Left me with these Lonesome Johnny Blues
With the Lonesome Johnny Blues
and there's nothing I can do
'Cept sing these sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
Johnny Blues
the sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
Johnny Blues
the sad old weary Lonesome Johnny Blues
Let's Go For A Ride
Oh, yeah I feel alright tonight.
Oh, man the stars are bright tonight.
Like we could reach right out
and help yourself to them.
Cause we want and what we need
will one day bring us to our knees.
Well, I am over it.
You know that I have accepted it.
CHORUS:
Let's go for a ride.
Let's go for a ride.
Let's go for a ride.
Go for a ride.
REPEAT CHORUS
So, drive real fast through the underpass
And if we die or if we crash.
Well I'd be flattered to
be buried right next to you.
Cause what's yours is yours
and what's mine is mine
in the summertime under
the blackened sky
the world belongs to us
baby lets use it up.
REPEAT CHORUS
Loser
If I had a gun for every ace I have drawn,
I could arm a town the size of Abilene
Don't you push me baby,
Cause I'm all alone and you know I'm only in it for the
gold
All that I am asking for is ten gold
dollars
And I could pay you back with one good hand
You can look around about the wide world over
And you'll never find another honest man.
Last fair deal in the country,
Sweet Suzie, last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before I let my deal go down
Don't you push me baby, cause I'm all
alone
Well I know a little something you might never know
Don't you touch our liquor, just a cup of cold coffee
I'm gonna wake up in the morning and go
Everybody prayin' and drinkin' that
wine
I can tell the Queen of Diamonds by the way she shines
Come to papa on the inside straight,
Well I got no chance of losin' this time
Last fair deal in the country,
Last fair deal in the town
Put your gold money where your love is baby,
Before I let my deal go down

the San Francisco shows, Bugs I think, was talking about
the
recording of Kerosene Hat--the snoring was supposedly the
security guard
for the sound stage they built, who dozed off so they lowered
a boom
mike over him. The hammering and sawing is supposedly all
them building the stage/set/whatchamacallit."

Went down to Barcelona, someone broke in my car
And I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Took the train down to Athens, and
I slept in a fountain.
Some Swiss junkie in Turin, ripped me off for my cash.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
The CRS on the metro shook me down
for a bribe.
On my knees for the sergeant when my passport arrived.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.
Yeah, search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl
Euro-trash Girl, Euro-trash Girl

Called my mom from a payphone, I said
"I'm down to my last."
She said "I sent you to college, now go call your dad."
And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone.
You know she never did like me, but I can stand on my own.
Sold my plasma in Amsterdam: spent
it all in a night
Buying drinks at the Melk Weg for a soldier in drag.
Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.

Yeah, I'll search the world over for my angel in black.

REPEAT CHORUS
I ride my bike, I drive my car, take me to you
This is a story about a dog, a dog
When I ride my bike
And my hair is blowing straight back
I think of you wearing that brown mohair sweater
Soft mounds of breasts underneath
Or better yet one of those squigly aluminum lawn chairs
I'm putting sun tan lotion on your long legs
A-wearing a broad rim straw hat
Pair of Mickey mouse sunglasses
Looking just like lolita
Looking just like lolita
White sheets hanging on the line
White sheets blowing in the wind
A satellite dish pointed straight up at the heavens
A satellite dish pointing stright up
at the heavens, Isis! (Isis) (Isis)
Isis! Isis! (Isis) (Isis)
(Isis) Isis! Isis! Isis!
Isis! Isis! Isis! Isis!
Oh yeah! (Isis) arrrrrrrrrr
I ride my bike, I drive my car, to be with you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, to be wi' you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, to be wi' you
I ride my bike, I drive my car, to be wi' you
