The Twilite Kid
rock steady, baby, your man iz ded
be careful, sugar, of who you call a friend
cuz they'll get you in the end
step eazy, baby, and don't you cry
she had another brother on the side
you could not let it slide
and if, my love, i said i'm sorry
would you believe me?
should i cry?
then hold me, az i die
and the ones who live
are the ones who fly
and the ones who crawl
come crawlin' by and by
on back to you again
but i ain't ever gonna see you again
and i'm never gonna feel you again
so let this moment never end
That's Just How That Bird Sings
See the morning light
It breaks the sky to the East
Hear the birds above
Announcing the light
Like rays of love
Hear the one who sings
Az darkness clouds the Western sky
The one who sounds az though
He's weeping for his long lost lover
He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds
Coming down
Over the rooftops, into your dreams
That's just how that bird sings
All the way until
The heat of the nighttime still
At that hour
All of the dreams devour the senses
Mothers keep your child
Far from home, they will roam
Run to trouble first
It iz what they thirst for
To quench their sorrow
He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds
Coming down
Over the rooftops, into your dreams
He will sing despite the approaching night
Az though you know just what he means
I suppose
That's just how that bird sings . . .
Clyde
baby doll, where you goin'?
so much to do, so much to see
baby doll, why you leavin'?
come upstairs and get high with me
the time iz nigh, for us to fly
take you where there's no sorry
time iz right and time iz invisible
if you'll come with me
shot ded, by you again
you're gettin' closer, girl
i'm sensing the end
one more inch, just to the right
you got me hangin', girl
be back tomorrow night to getcha
i smell a sweet fragrance about you
and i know that you want it too
so if i, i trip and lay one heavy on ya
please forgive me
you're makin' me want it so
what i feel inside, i can't deny
my love
you know just where i live
i cannot slip you, girl
it's useless, i know
nobody ever touched me before like you did
but you won't do it again, no more
the light upon your face
iz takin me, girl
to another time and place
i want to see you so high, little girl
i can't leave you alone
King Only
once
i thought i would be King
and get a piece of anything
a Kingdom has it coming to
if i flew high enough
to touch the hand of Venus
would she stroke my face?
and promise me the Kingdom would be mine
if only i
play me...
save me...
either way i'll be your baby
cuz you don't have to tell me so
for me to know
that you don't love me anymore
once
i woke up from a dream
and knew that things would never be
the kingdom that was promised me
and i fell far enough
to touch the hand of Lucifer
stripped of all His glory
when He sat beside the King
and was denied
Love
at 3:15
i heard you leave
where did you go?
were you alone?
am i the only one for you?
so tell me true
i'd kill for you
it's sick i know
but after all
by definition of the word
love iz blind
love iz good
it woke at dawn
still you were gone
you didn't phone
are you alone?
am i the only one for you?
so tell me true
i'd kill for you
it's sick i know
but after all
by definition of the word
love iz blind
love iz good . . .
Annie Mae
annie mae, annie mae
seems i've gone and lost my way
as situations go, i think that i can safely say
i'm lost, baby, find me
i'm lost, baby, find me
i wonder where you were
annie mae, annie mae
another bed i've found to stay
another bed i've found to wrap my evil head around
i'm lost, baby, find me
i'm lost, baby, find me
and tell me where you were
god, you look fine, annie?
have you got a line, annie?
i've lost my mind annie
but the sun is shining high today
i slipped though time, annie
don'tcha drop dime, annie
i see it in your eyes, annie
when the sun went back behind the clouds
you used to be mine, annie
alone in twilight, annie
alone in twilight, annie
in between the day and the night
Verti Marte
au revoir, enculeacute
Last Temptation
everytime i think of you
i get the same old sinking feeling
i think of a garden, so still
i think of a cross upon a hill
and i think you know what i'm sayin'
so as these chords descend
so i shall follow them
they holler "catch me if you can"
they holler "catch me, holler "catch me"
baby... i'm goin' down
get yer hands up off me, girl
i think i know my way around by now
they come to the party
one by one
until it's done, until it's done
my enemy
you must think you have the best of me
but you must know me to be vain
to leave this undone would be such a shame
Railroad Lullaby
do you remember when i told you
that i had a tale to tell?
let me regale you, child
about a life spent on the rail
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...
and whenever the drugstore man
used to come around
i'd bite my lip
and then i'd take myself to town
forget me not, don't forget it
cuz i'll be gone in a minute...
don't call me no more, no more
nobody ever needs ya
when you're this far gone
now you say the train's a'comin'
but i don't see it on the track
last train's eleven
and it ain't comin' back
forget me not . . .
East 17th
instrumental
Into The Street
one early morn, i couldn't sleep
i poured myself into the street
i watched the world from off a cloud
i saw the people quarreling out loud
so sand, the wind
a brighter day
will come again
shut out the lights
turn down the bed
whatever get you through your hed
unlock the door
throw away the key
we don't want the spirits watching
az they hover over you and me
and az they dance
they call their way around
they come, they often go
they know
they often go low
my little girl
where did you go?
i cannot find you anymore
angel sweet
angel bright
come on back to me
i promise you the wall will fall with me
the way i'm goin' down
this time i'm goin' down
i can't fight
i'm goin' down
goodbye . . .
Twilight
when darkness falls
on Summer's end
so in your absence
i shall begin
when Darkness falls the race iz done
and Love lives not
when Hope is gone
goodbye, sufer
everything's gonna be alright...
the longest night of every year
i spent beside you, baby
do you remember anything about me?
i was the one when Hope was gone
who took too long to sing this song
everything's gonna be alright...
when darkness falls
on Summer's end
so in your absence
i shall begin
when Darkness falls
the race iz through
everything's gonna be alright...
