Lemon gin, corn fields plowed under Cigarettes, Southern Comfort With your friends behind the bleachers It's not this dance, he?s gonna be there In the high school gym And it?s almost summer Almost warm enough to swim Backyards are waiting He?s got your name He?s got your number He?s got your name He?s got your number The sun sets across the parking lot Walking cool with your friends Before th...
All the flowers fade And all the star?s pale As this bitter beauty Grabs you by the tail How long will you hesitate? Half way up the trail Yes, it's dark in the trees And some wounds never heal And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time All the gun-for-hire poets Who try to sing so loud Just to drown out the roar As the bombs hit the ground And the band is...
You took your brownie hawkeye And pointed it up at the sky You just let the shutter fly All of your friends still wonder why You were never good with a goodbye You just turned your back and let it slide I try to remember the words I once heard You spoke them with courage You'll never deserve all of That they let you carry Few were the first, for sure You were the first to be married Stars went...
Dance, locust, dance The prophets shrug their shoulders as Calamity's child lost her head In the bell of the trumpet blast I know you just wanna be on fire I know you just wanna be on fire Jam, radio, jam Power to the pirate stations Broadcasting up through The flowery cracks in the pavement I know you just wanna be on fire I know you just wanna be on fire The good morning comes Like a hit and...
It was in your basement apartment With all of its earth and sea Making love on the carpet Under the light of the TV Outside the sour moon minstrels Shook their dark tambourines The morning came in sinister Well, window light menacing With clouds up above Clouds down below Killing time but it won't stand still It won't stand still I told you I'll never make a promise A promise I can't keep I th...
Honey, I don't know why I get so mean Honey, I don't know why I get so mean You never earned it, you don't deserve it Honey, I don't know why I get so mean Honey, I don't know what you see in me Honey, I don't know what you see in me You just don't get it, you're gonna regret it Honey, I don't know what you see in me You're standing closer now But I'll ever known how I don't give away myself s...
You betray your heart When all your charm has faded You say it's not your fault That your privilege makes you hated And still you talk too loud Tryin? to live up to the reputation You wear your little crown Of self-congratulations Oh, you little clown Oh, you little clown Oh, you little clown Oh, you little clown You've been drivin? it around And you don't know where to take it You've been try...
Well, I got your invitation But it never crossed my mind Your casual obliteration Would cross the line On a rainy day highway And the melancholy got on I got the most nostalgic feeling I'm gonna head right by on We're out of time On down the line Just get behind We're all out of time The perennial fatigue of the times When you're long in the tooth Short in the sleeve There's nowhere left to hi...
Lamps and kerosene, up in the north country The air is cool and the lakes are seething The sun sets, I cannot describe this feeling Followed you down, followed you down Through the black waters of Parry Sound I thought you drowned Big ol' house and bending pines Feeling I get, is this your line? Stars and satellites Staying up for the chance of northern lights Followed you down, I followed you...
Drunk again, six p.m. Beautiful, ugly weekend Stayin' out and sleeping in Love it when my girlfriend Calls me a c*** sucking fagot Writing rock ?n? roll lyrics On the back of matchbooks For garage ballads Rock ?n? roll, self reference Sentimental decadence Yes, a feel good rhyme I love a good cheap wine And a friend with a free line And I paint pink night Thanks for the rent, I'm a little behi...
It hurts, love hurts Words, there are no words I was sorry then, I'm sorry now I'm sorry that I let you down, I let you down I'm aflood with disaster And what's worse I always thought you were stronger I loved you then, I love you now I love you when you come back down, you come back down I don't know when, I don't know how I'll make it up to you somehow, somehow Somehow, somehow, somehow
Your smoking gun was lying in my arms When you told me to keep it hid I thought it'd best if we just stay in But I must confess I did not confess We got stoned in bed I dreamed I was back home with my woman You never told me what you meant, why didn't you say? We are born into conflict I'm sorry Lori You're such a jealous girl I'm sorry Lori You're such a jealous girl I'm sorry Lori
How can we leave at a time like this? You know the ocean where the sun comes up Is different than the ocean Where the sun goes down These are the days That were never really meant to be won Wiggle your toes, can you feel your soul? Winter sun, you've been laying low Arrows and bows play in the cubicles Lord, I wish I was home Before you regret the days That were never really meant to won These...
We're the fugitives of American portions Caught on the sleeves, yesterday's conquered From the fresh cut grass out on the interstate Where the wheels keep on rolling Till we've sealed our fate Tinsel sawdust, who's gonna give you up? So here's a guitar that you use to strum You never got very far but you could still sing along The oblique pastiche of childhood memories Has got you down on your...
I've been stunned by the clarity Of your peripheral vision Now I know it wasn't fair of me To always offer my opinion I guess I should learn that sooner But I always was the slower learner Waiting for the next shoe to drop Waiting for the next bottle up Tiny ocean of tears Tiny ocean of tears Another tiny ocean of tears I see you're writing your epitaph It's a brand new glorious past And when ...
Waiting for the world to come home Everybody's gone, I'm here all alone Waiting for the world to come home Waiting for the world to come knocking on my door Just like it did before I'm waiting for the world to be born Free from this shadow I want to be lost no more I'm waiting for the world to be born Waiting for you to come break my heart 'Cause I can't feel anything and it falls apart I know...
So this is the day of the dead St. Jude and the Lady of Guadalupe The apples and oranges And silver coins for ghosts to gamble with Marigolds and candles This is birth and this is death All in the same breath We all lose one another along the way We all lose one another along the way This is the day of the dead Bound by love, unbound by flesh This is for those who have gone before Flower petal...
