mahgeetah
sittin here with me and mine. all wrapped up in a bottle of wine
little we can do… we gon see it thru somehow
so… now are you ready to go? my lady
I been waitin on the boat here I been waitin so long
“can he see me? does he feel me? does he know me at all?”
“does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me at all?”
bang! bang! goes the night. all wrapped up in the firelight
don’t “rock bottom,” just listen. just slow down
so… now are you ready to go, my lady?
I been waitin on the boat here, I been waitin so long…

dancefloors
daybreak. nightfall. long as I believe
there ain’t nothing glowin like this skin you’re showin and the keys you gave to me
nightjails. poolhalls. some things are everywhere
so for the past I’m diggin a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea
oh I know… that it’s easy… there’s no trouble waitin for me
dancefloors. headlights. in my blood there’s gasoline
for an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
loaded questions in an automatic world
you just won’t be seein the things you need, as if you thought you would
oh I know… it’s never easy… when there’s trouble waitin for me

golden
watchin’ a stretch of road, miles of light explode. driftin’ off a thing i’d never done before
watchin’ a crowd roll in. out go the lights it begins. a feelin’ in my bones i never felt before…
mmm… people always told me. that bars are dark and lonely
and talk is often cheap and filled with air. sure sometimes they thrill me
but nothin’ could ever chill me. like the way they make the time just disappear
feelin’ you are here again. hot on my skin again. feelin good a thing i’d never known before
what does it mean to feel? millions of dreams come real
a feelin’ in my soul i’d never felt before… mmm…
and you always told me. no matter how long it holds me if it falls apart
or makes us millonaires. you’ll be right here forever. we’ll go thru this thing together
and on heaven’s golden shore we’ll lay our heads

masterplan
I’ve got a masterplan babe, I been workin on it from the start.
pluggin in all of the numbers, watchin it on all of the charts.
just cause it starts off slow babe, doesn’t mean it don’t have a heart.
you’ll be walkin round showin off someday
and it’ll take you right back to the start.
it’s everything that you want babe.
it’s everything that you need.
soft and warm al the time, make you want it over and over.
strong on the horizon, but ends up bein really so sweet… oh so sweet.
sometimes I wanna lay down babe. sometimes I wanna stand up and fight.
sometimes it runs its course in a day. sometimes it goes for night after night.
know that it will start off strong babe, and it will end up weak in the end.
just like the heart you break of a love babe, just like the hand you take of a friend.
it’s everything that you want babe.
it’s everything that you need.
soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over.
strong on the horizon, but ends up bein really so sweet… oh so sweet…

one big holiday
wakin up feelin good and limber
when the telephone it ring
was a bad man from california
tellin of a stone he’d bring
and of better days
from this town, we’d escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we’d all live one big holiday
so we listened and up the river
and recorded all the sounds
was some shakin and some record playin
all the leather kids were loud

I will sing you songs
I will sing to you of greater things… money, gold, and diamond rings
just don’t make it last any longer than it has to
stories of the greater things… fill your heart and soul with beer (tears)
just don’t make it last any longer than it has to
I will sing to you of greater things… money, gold, and diamond rings
just don’t make it last any longer than it has to
stories of the greater years… what’s in here won’t disappear
just don’t make it last any longer than it has to

easy morning rebel
well the easy mornin rebel, well he has come. come down from heaven, all bathed in sun
he’ll take to flyin, he’ll take to the road… as long as he’s movin to get dey blood!
he’ll be the water if you’ll be the wine. sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
well the evening rebel, his heart is stone. this earthly body… just a temporary home
a dream of movin moves on thru the night
and he sure looks good when he moves in the light
he’ll be the water if you’ll be the wine. sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
black hearted ruler? I only knew…
that loving moment I had with you

run thru
oh shit run! oh shit run! oh shit run thru the ghetto
they will hear you
mornin bell tolls at home. rings loud back where I come from. calls me back
often times i would hope and pray. then faith came my way
oh shit run! oh……………….
it’s what appears to me it’s what appears to me
oh shit run! oh……………….
it’s what appears to me it’s what appears to me
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……….

rollin back
just in the nick of time you got me… while I was sittin here
time I don’t think I waste it, it just seems to disappear
sippin the wine you got me, while eyes were rollin back
long hours and hard hard things just bring heart attacks
oh oh oh you had me, wrapped up in your mystery…
when the light vanished from on high
oh I’ll never say I knew you, but my heart can’t wait
to meet you on the other side
when I think about the story. one thing seems pretty clear
the warm things you left behind they still want you here
but only in time you find… that all things come back around
and just like the frown, we’ll turn them upside down
oh oh oh you had me. wrapped up in your mystery…
when the light vanished from on high
oh i’ll never say I knew you
but my heart cant wait
to meet you no the other side.

just one thing
baby. there’s just one thing
one thing that does it
does it for me
baby. we’ll find a way
we’ll go out
out for a day
and I want it so bad! it’s the first thing I see when I wake
so bad! it’s the first thing I see when I wake

steam engine
so. I do believe. none of this is physical
at least not to me
so, I do believe
that anywhere it goes
t’s always with me
it’s not the dream
that makes you weak
it’s not the night that makes you sleep
but it’s a voice. and it’s a choice
to call you out. or stay at home
so! I do believe
none of this is physical
at least not to me
so I do believe
that anywhere it goes
it’s always with me
it’s not the beast. it’s not the sheets
so soft and warm. all over me
but it’s the touch. you need so much
to move around on this green earth
take your money and your drugs
take your money and your drugs
to anyone who wondered
what old jebus meant to me
take him out to go diving
in red patoka sea
the brain melts in the twilight
with the boar and moving trees
your skin looks good in moonlight
and god damn those shaky knees
the fact that my heart’s beating
is all the proof you need

one in the same
on the way back home… how long did it seem?
3 days or 4? snow glazed all the trees
my mother held me… like a motorcycle, so warm…
we sang melody…
campin out all night… slow moves in the light…
of all the things that you’ve seen…
was the motorcycle so warm you sang melody?
at that moment I’d know… just how close we could be
and though it always was mine… it always seemed new to me
10,000 colors in all… eyes like caves on my cheeks
to all the people i’ve loved… don’t think poor of me
it wasn’t till I woke up… that I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
but then all three are one in the same
and ALL then are one in the same
and all us are one in the same
