God, no more!
Don't care about no score,
Don't bring me down again, you've got a friend
But don't know what to do
Nothing's certain
But as I draw the curtains
I find myself alone, but goin' home
Don't mean the same to you
Don't assume you've been
Nothin' but a tune
Inside my mind, I've come to find
That it's been raining too
In the streetlight,
She put up a good fight,
Crashing, slashing,
Cashing in on everything you know
As I watch you
Tryin' to tie your shoes
I feel a cognizance
An innocence I know I got from you
I struck the sea dry,
Red was fillin' your sky
You turned your gaze on this ugly face
And never asked it why

Cocayne Jayne, she took my money
She took my acid and she took my clothes
She got her name from ridin' beaches
And pickin' fools on an L.A. roll
She brought a toothless cat to the table
Drowned my garden in a sea of gin
Left me wild, seasick, and lazy
And asked me if I'd ever love her again
And when the stars come out of the sky,
She sits for hours on an alibi
Little wolf, you sucked on his fingers
And built a castle for his ankles and toes
You bought a ticket for the ride of the season
And sat alone while your mind struck a pose
I asked you once under the table
If you loved me like you ever loved him
In keener eyes I've seen deception
But didn't let it get to me when he walked in
Fear took hold and they cut out the lights
And the preacher asked me if I wanted to fight
Cocayne Jayne, she burned my house down
I tried to find quiet where the river flows
If I ain't home by half past seven,
Break all my dishes and burn all my clothes
Don't look for me in the morning
Don't look for me in the night
And if she ever comes lookin' for me,
Tell her I left on the Dutch Delight
Smoke filled my cabin as I lay asleep
And they never did pull my head from the deep

Ballad of Route 161

I don't wanna see you blind
Find her down by the riverside
Time gonna turn me away
Lines to brighten up your day
Run, run, til the snow is at your door
Run on by the river, by the river shore
Roll, to the edge in day by day
They told you one time, it had to be this way
Turn, turn, and rise to water home
Burned out and rusted, he'll be on his own
Cry for the damned upon the seas
Cry for the boy lost in the trees

Where The Prophets Go
03:31

Blind on the crystal sea
Be silent and see the moorings free
In the heat of June
Lean sceners and chicks at half past noon
The morning comes
Last morning to come for all and one
All and two
Lies idle and calls him back to you
Oh, don't think all eyes see
Oh, first to live and last to be
Drop everything and go
Hours pass and soon we might not know
Where to cross again
Black river to hem the spirits in
By the mountain's will
And as the forest moves in for the kill,
The birds won't call
Gold-plated and perched upon the wall
Ah, don't think all eyes see
Oh, first to live and last to be
Some dream of changing time
Live by the line and die beneath the blinds
And the snow outside
Falls even so no one steps aside
Where the prophets go,
All the boys and girls shuffle in the snow
That fell all day
Sky's burning to melt the day away
Oh, don't think all eyes see
Oh, first to live and last to be

That ugly race in time and space,
She let the water touch her face
And never came around to live again
She brought you to her gypsy queen
Who looked you over and licked you clean
And sent you back across the sea again
No no no, no no, not again
He crawled across the kitchen floor
And never thought to ask for more
And never thought to stop and look around
He beat his brain, a quick release
And shook like there would be no peace
And shook like he had never felt the ground
No no no, no no, not again
She held her little atmosphere,
And later on, she left you here,
And later on, she pounded on his door
She held her breath and twirled her hair
He scowled in the evening air,
He scowled but he never asked for more
No no no, never asked for more
He hid away a loaded gun
And asked her what she did for fun
And waited for the morning to return
Then in the quiet light of day,
He blew her pretty face away,
A savage crack that every neighbor heard.
No no no, no no, not again

Sailor By Night
03:31
|

|
She called me easy
I felt my little darlin' gettin' sleazy
But the air was warm an' breezy
And she looked so fine
A perfect stranger
I knew right away I couldn't change her
But the old brown sailor told me danger
Was just a thing of my mind
She took me by the ear
And for all the world to hear
I couldn't help but make a little noise
The streetlight blown out,
I think she knew my brain was kinda zoned out
So we went to the bank to take a loan out
And she started to scream
To help her, oh to tease her
I really didn't know if I could please her
But the teller at the union told me seize her
Before she blows the scene
Well she took me by the hand
And she whispered this command:
"Say something before I die"
Well what choice did I have? Alright!
I'm a-wonderin' on my doorstep
'Bout the little lady always tryna force it
But I gave up the halter for a corset
And sat and watched her go
Now I'm lying in the courtyard
Pretending that the sailor hit me so hard
When a red-headed honey from the outdoor bar
Came and said hello
I smiled real wide,
Convinced her I was worth the ride,
Now I'm running up the stairs again.
Once again, oh yeah!

In our time
We came to roam
We came to calling others home
In our way
We lasted years
Lasted weekends, all unclear
Breathe the ocean
Breathe the air
Breathe your bother and breathe your care
Sit in silence,
Sit and scream
It don't have to mean a thing
Live or die
Give or take
Oh the smoke rings in our wake
Oh the days
Oh the nights
Come all fallen to our side
