When Your Number Isn't
Up
Did you call for the night
porter?
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit
it with a stone
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don't see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
No one needs to tell you that
There's no use for ya here anymore
And where are your friends?
They've gone away
It's a different world, they left you to this
To janitor
The emptiness
So let's get it on
When the sun is finally going down, and you're overdue
to follow
But you're still above the ground
What ya got comin' is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
Did they call for the night porter
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well I've been waitin at this frozen border, so close
you could hit it with a stone
Hit the City
The dark descends through
the promised land
Down kingdom come and the acid ban
I'm bad alone, burned inside out
Nothing to kill it
I hit the city
In Marianne I dug the hole
And watched her trip on my heart of stone
And in the end all that crawled, was my skin
I couldn't kill it
I hit the city
I hit the city
Ghost arrives at its bitter end
To the promised land and the dark descents
I'm bad alone, burned inside out
Nothing to kill it
I hit the city (x5)
1,2,3,4
I hit the city
Wedding Dress
Would you put on that long
white gown
And burn like there's no more tomorrows?
Will you walk with me underground
And forgive all my sicknesses and my sorrows?
Will you be shamed if I shake like I'm dyin'
When I fall to my knees and I'm crying?
Will you visit me where my body rests
Will you put on that long white dress?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada
The end could be soon, we'd better rent a room
So you can love me
Will you put on that long white dress
While I burn when there's no more tomorrows?
Will you remember me through the years I'll miss
And forget all the sadnesses and the sorrows?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada
Ba dadada, da, badadada
We got buried in the fever
Now you love me
Get a room, so you can love me
Methamphetamine Blues
(Hit it)
Wake up
Wake up
Children don't ya hear me comin'
Get up
Get up
Because I got to have the honey
And I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin' children keep on rollin'
Rollin' children keep on rollin'
Keep the light turned low and the back door open
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes children I will
Tall lawman rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
and tell all the news
I'm rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Wake up
Children
Get right soul church, keep a lock on the kitchen
Do risks for your daddy
(I'll do it daddy)
Keep your eyes wide open and my shotgun loaded
Cause I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
Rollin' just to keep on rollin'
My love rain down like sugar so sweet
(got what you want, so come and get it)
Yes baby
Tall lawmen rides
With his uniform clean, shine on his shoes
My radio plays
Methamphetamine blues
and tell all the news
I'm rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
Rollin just to keep on rollin'
I don't want to leave this heaven so soon
One Hundred Days
When the willow bends towards
the end of day
And twilight falls again
To the funny sound that a blackbird makes
Twilight falls again
As no good reason remains, I'll do the same
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in, one day a ship comes in
But I can't say how or when
But I know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be right
Something good
From my fingertips, the cigarette throws ashes to the
ground
I'd stop and talk to the girls who work this street, but
I got business farther down
Like one long season of rain, I will remain
Thinking of you
One day a ship comes in
From far away a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
And you know somewhere the ship comes in every day
There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be bright
Just like something good
One day a ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
Something bright
Something so good
One hundred days
A ship comes in every day
You know it's good
You know it's good
A ship comes in every day
One day a ship comes in
Its good
When it's something good
Bombed
Love there are flowers hanging
in the vine
So high you cannot see
Now my mind must go on holiday, torn from it's hook, a
broken valentine
I see the smoke from a revolver, will I get hit, I hardly
care
When I'm bombed I stretch like bubblegum
And look too long straight at the morning sun
Love there are flowers along the avenue, all things perfectly
in place
I build a shrine
I set a monument
Because you're fire
Because you're a fire escape
Strange Religion
Can you stay here next to
me?
We'll just keep drivin'
Because of you I see a light
The Buick's a Century, a '73 like you
Some strange religion
I get my hands on some money momma, and a shot in the
night
Stared down the past and just scarred my eyes
Now I know there's no easy ride
She's been the kind who would take it in stride
Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Did they know they were walking on holy ground?
Almost called it a day so many times
Didn't know what it felt like to be alive
'Til you been a friend to me, like nobody else could be
Keep my hands on the wheel now momma
Gonna honestly try
She looked past the scars and the burned out eyes
You could see I'm no easy ride
She's just the kind who might get you to buy
Some strange religion
This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around
Shoulda known they were walking on holy ground
This life might eventually just be the end of me, will
I still be with you
Get in next to me, just keep driving
Cause of you I been alive
And this Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion
The Buick's a Century, '73 like you
Some strange religion
Sideways in Reverse
C'mon
On a dead high wire we'll make a connection
Never knowing my shepherd never knowing my witness
C'mon now honey you're so sick and pretty
C'mon now sugar 'cause you know it ain't easy
Bang bang bang let me shoot it all over
Go down people give me your love
You're another mistake, you're a sign of disaster
Go down people give me your love
Gonna shake shake shake as a matter of course
Going down goin' down people give me your love
It fights like a bitch and it kicks like a horse
Goin' down goin' down people give me your love
Ain't you glad ain't you glad ain't you glad little sister
Go down people give me your love
Sideways in reverse I don't know any better
Go down people give me your love
You gotta keep it running clean keep on fixin the machine

Keep it running clean keep on fixin the machine

Going down people give me your love
Going down people give me your love
Goin' down goin' down people give me your love
Come to Me
Come to me
Light on my shoulder
come to me
burn your starry crown
my dark angel
I've tried, I can't get over
'Cause when I think I'm climbing
I'm really so far down
Time takes a while, to break ya
And now, only fire can wake ya
Oh weeping willow
Coughing up my heart
ask god to see my shadow
And kept us apart
Through my mind's every riot, or revelation
you've just now gone
You've just now gone, as I arrive
At every station
Come to me
Either early or late
I've learned this by habit
now I know how to wait
come to me
come to me
come to me
Like Little Willie
John
There was nothing I could
do
Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall, nothing at all
Who's gonna grieve
When you're gone?
I once believed
I wouldn't bleed
I seen all these good looking women
While I'm getting off the plane
Remember where my baby is
Start thinkin' 'bout my baby
All she ever knew was trouble
And for much I was to blame
But when I heard the news that night
I went down like a satellite
And when my world stood still that night
I dropped like a satellite
She never knew how much I loved her
She never knew how much I cared
I thought I'd get back to my special one
I thought I'd get on a lucky run
I said I'd get back to my special one
I said I'd get on a lucky run
God damn
Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall, like nothing at all
Now who's gonna grieve
When you're gone?
I once believed I'd never bleed
But lord I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love it's satellite?
Lord I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love it's satellite?
I don't know
Seein' all these good looking women
And remember where my baby is
Start thinkin' 'bout my baby
Remember where my baby is
Start me thinkin' 'bout my baby
Where's my baby?
Can't Come Down
Don't give a damn for money
Never did I give a damn for gold
Tell me little doll, talk some sweet nothing
A river runs deep and cold
Don't know why but it keeps running
Don't know why I can't come down
Moses has stood on the mountain
Devil made it thunder and rain
Girl I ain't afraid of temptation
No I ain't afraid of some pain
Watchin' little doll she just come runnin'
Running straight away
Straight to me I got sweet nothing
And only myself to blame
I don't know why I just keep running
Don't know why I can't come down
Walk, don't you walk on me
Don't you step don't you step on me
Don't you walk don't walk on me
Don't you step on me
Don't have no thing for money
Got no jones for gold
All I got today is some sweet nothing
Nothing to take away
Don't know why I just keep running
Don't know why I can't come down
Don't know why - somebody
Somebody hears today
Don't know why, sweet nothing
Nothing to take away
No I ain't afraid of temptation
No ain't afraid of some pain
No ain't afraid of some pain
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, can't come down
Somebody, can't come down
Can't come down
Somebody, can't come down
can't come down...
Morning Glory Wine
On the first time in love
Was electrocution
But I fell out on the down
Blind with injection
Strawberries, wake or naked
Out here you're alone
These streets get very cold, you should know
Yeah and don't I know
Are we gonna be judged
Judged on these lonely deeds
Are we gonna cry, yeah
Are we gonna freeze
Morning glory wine
Good people don't drink it
So I'm alone not thinking, please
How you thrill me love
How you kill me love
Like electrocution
Monday's all that's lost to love
Tuesday shakes and plead
Friday comes and calls your bluff
Sunday's on her knees
It's how you do me love
If you knew me love
There ain't no one to turn to
'Cause it's hard when you're on your own
And you lost your way home
Morning glory wine
Good people don't drink it
So on my own not thinking, please
It's how you knew me love
It's how you do me love
Like electrocution
It's like electrocution
Morning glory wine
Good people don't drink it
When you're on you're own
You lost your way home
There ain't nobody baby
Nobody to turn to
I need somebody
Somebody to turn to
Somebody baby
Someone to turn to
Morning high
Morning glory wine
There ain't nobody baby
I need someone to turn to
I need somebody
Wanna get high
I wanna get high
Need somebody to turn to
Head
So sad the girl I had
Lost her head and it went bad
Blue her two eyes they were dead
Mirror mine and see she said
One of these mornings
I don't know her
One of these mornings I think I owe her
Head
Once she signed a piece of my mind
Girlie scenes and gasoline
Porno pony she did ride
Forsaken long lost limosine
I hear her talkin'
I like to hear her talkin'
See her walkin'
I like to watch watch her come walkin'
Head
Head
She lost it and man did it get bad
Lazy eyes were dead
Mirror mine and see she said
Once she drew a picture
Stuck it in my pocket
Find somewhere to reach her
'Cause she let me rock it
See her walkin'
I like to watch, watch her come walkin'
Head
Driving Death Valley
Blues
Well I'm so tired of driving
but here comes the highway
Don't wanna go cold turkey
Ride with me Jesus so high on the mainline
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley
Remember her kiss is like kerosene
The rest of her only a memory
Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me
A picture so clear
A picture so clear that it's crystalline
Better run to the doctor, girl, run to the medicine
Don't wanna go cold turkey
I'll be your Napoleon be your crippled Alexander, but
Don't wanna go up the country
Shame there's nothing to hang it on
Except for this wreck that you made of me
A blackbird singin' a moring song, sing along
Sing to the end of a century
Sing it
Well I can't stand the thought of many more miles, but
I don't wanna go cold turkey
Here comes the highway can't you see what it made me
It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley
Remember her kiss is a kerosene
The exile lives in a memory
A scarecrow singin' a morning song, sing along
Sing to the end of a century
Are you still with me Jesus so high on the mainline
Don't let me go up the country
Girl better run, better run for the medicine
Don't let me go cold turkey
Don't let me go cold turkey
Don't wanna go
Out of Nowhere
As it begins so too it ends
Crawls to a stop and starts again
Those highlights you've forced to shine
Show me my way through wilderness
And someday far from here I'll send a kiss
Out of nowhere
At times you see a ghost down on the street
Walks the hallway knocking door to door
Where are you from night til 9am
Only a dark skinned Jesus knows
Why suddenly your room is turnin' cold
Cold is nowhere
And as it ends so it begins
Crawls to a stop and starts again
Those highlights you've made are mine
Show me my way through wilderness
To someone who's blind I'll send a kiss
Out of nowhere
