Suit Of Glass
04:37
|
|||
Walkin tall, I got my pass
Alcohol, a full tank of gas
What I got, everybody knows
Can’t hide it – in these clothes
I take a ride – the man’s on my ass
Ain't no place to hide – in a suit of glass
Can’t hide, it ain’t no joke
Can’t hide in the billowing smoke
Can’t hide cause I’m in the fire
Can’t hide my voice in the choir
You hear me howlin at midnight mass
Ain't no place to hide in a suit of glass
You think I’m vain, you think I’m proud
Cause I can’t – blend into the crowd
People talk – and that ain’t all
Everybody’s tryin to bust my balls
Oh how i wish they were made out of brass
To bust me out of this – suit of glass
Can’t hide – I’m tired of this shit
Can’t make – no sense of it
Can’t get a break – except when I fall
Can’t get away – with nothin at all
People point every time I pass
Can’t even hide a joint – in a suit of glass

Invisible Pistols

How big is our love? How tough, how strong?
How bright, the brightest star I’ve wished upon?
How dark, the darkest dark before the dawn?
How many invisible pistols
have been pointed in this place?
How many times was my risky
business saved by heaven’s grace?
How many miles of whiskers
have I shaved from my face?
I don’t know (x4)
How big is our love? How tough, how strong?
How bright, the brightest star I’ve wished upon?
How dark, the darkest dark before the dawn?
How will I know it when your love is gone?
How many invisible pistols
have been pointed at my face?
How many times was my risky
business saved by heaven’s grace?
How many gallons of your tears have come
and disappeared without a trace?
I don’t know (x4)
You never know you never know
You never know what’s on the line
When tempers are flyin’
You never know you never know
You never know when it's the time
For givin' up tryin'
How many invisible pistols
have been pointed at my face?
How many times was my risky
business saved by heaven’s grace?
How many miles of whiskers
have I shaved from my face?
How many gallons of your tears
have come and disappeared without a trace?
I don't know.

I Pray It Never Comes
03:54

I pray it never comes to this
I pray it never comes to this
Where silence is golden
And ignorance is bliss
I pray it never comes to this
If ever comes a time
Of decline and decay
Where all my greatest moments
Are way back in the day
Please shoot me if I start to reminisce
Or pray it never comes to this
Where all I have are things
That were never meant to last
Where the view from my porch swing’s
Overlooking the past
Where all I love is everything I miss
I pray it never comes to this
I pray it never comes to this
I pray it never comes to this
Embracing a slowly fading
memory of a kiss
I pray it never comes to this

Cookie Jar

Who’s been messin’ in the cookie jar?
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
Who tracked mud on the kitchen floor?
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
Now you bought a dog and put a lock on the door
You’ve had trouble for a long time
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
Someone done you wrong, yeah but
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
Now you’re treating me as if I’ve hurt you before
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it (x2)
Someone’s got a chip on their shoulder
I wish we could just knock it off
You’re getting colder and colder...
Somethin’s rotten in the cookie jar
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
Mud dried solid on the kitchen floor
I didn’t do it – I didn’t do it
All the warning signs are pretty hard to ignore
Someone’s got a chip on her shoulder
I wish we could just knock it off
(Knock it off)
You’re getting colder and colder...
Got up on the wrong side of get-it-on
I’m gettin’ the gong, better head on…

Space Kitty Blues

Tougher than a Bakelite platter
Cooler than a minus degree
Stubborn and sleek like a feline
Cyborg up in a tree
Man I wanna get it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
A siren song Venus Fly Trap
Texture like Martian wax
Micro-fine grooves on the A-side
Tiny soft spikes on the back
Man I wanna pet it,
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
Someone call the fire department
Get em out here on the lawn
Just a little water pressure
Fresh fruit falls to the ground
Man I wanna get it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
The fire chief and some new flame
Are campin out in my back yard
Says your kitty cash is garbage
Says he’ll take a plastic card
But I got no credit
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
Now sometimes it moves like a fire
Or a lion runnin free
Sometimes when it’s hungry
I call it and it comes to me
But I already fed it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?
I already fed it
How am I gonna get it
Down, down, down
Get it down, get it down?

Blue Motorcycle

Blue motorcycle went pop
Stopped runnin, so daddy couldn't ride it
Blue motorcycle went to the shop
All sad and lonely 'cause daddy started drivin
a little cute Corvette
can cause a man to forget
a little blue motorcycle
he maybe forgot
or maybe not
Blue, blue, blue
motorcycle
Blue, blue, blue
motorcycle
Blue motorcycle, all fixed up
Still daddy hasn't come to get it yet
Blue motorcycle, stuck in the shop
It was his baby til daddy started drivin
a little cute Corvette
can cause a man to forget
a little blue motorcycle
He maybe forgot
or maybe not.
Blue, blue, blue
motorcycle
Blue, blue, blue
motorcycle...

Time Will Tell
01:59
|

I said, “Will this love find a home
In the twilight zone
Or fall through the cracks
Between right and wrong?”
She smiled and said,
“Time will tell. Don’t break the spell.”
She said,
“It may be not the one you longed for
Or anything you meant to try
Or any way to spend a lifetime
But what a lovely way to die
Ahh-ah-ah-ahhhhhh
Ahhhh-ahhhhhhhh
I said, “Will this soul train carry on
When the end times have come
Or jump off the tracks
And roll out a new song?”
She smiled and said,
“Time will tell. Don’t break the spell.
Time will tell. Don’t break the spell.
Time will tell. Don’t break the spell."
She said…
Ahh-ah-ah-ahhhhhh
Ahhhh-ahhhhhhhh

CrAzy Head

I warned you baby
I warned you baby
I warned you baby
I really am crazy
Crazy just like I said
From the bottom of my restless leg
To the top of my crazy head
To the top of my crazy head
I’m mad about you
I’m mad about you
I’m mad about you
I wanna scream and shout
But I don’t wanna wake the dead
I'm freakin myself out
From the bottom of my restless leg
To the top of my crazy head
Two dogs fuckin by the back yard gate
One named Church, one named State
The governor's wife sent the parson's daughter
out the back door with a bucket of water
A bucket of rain like Noah's flood
left two wet dogs fuckin in the mud
The butcher came by, said i'll show you how
He stopped them fuckin dogs and now
State tugs at his chain while Church is confined
But the best part of him never left her behind.
Bought you a diamond ring
And a silver spoon
I warned you baby
I’m crazy as a loon
Crazy just like I said
From the bottom of my restless leg
To the top of my crazy head
To the top of my crazy head…
But I mean every word I said
From the bottom of my restless heart
Off the top of my crazy head

Late night mama

Late night mama

in the diner, in the dark
Late night mama

Late night mama

cause them hounds get to howlin

Late night mama
