When I was down she was full of advice
'Cause she'd been there once or twice With a ring on the side of her nose Wearing other people's clothes She had her highs and she had her lows In between she'd show When she smiled everything else died V let off a good vibe * As if in a dream The one and only V As if in a dream The one and only V Buying shots and breaking hearts She used to wait on us down at the bar Never took as much as she gave She's still giving to this day Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat |

Wasn't much of a union
Denial and confusion Meant something to you, I bet you would have stayed Stumbled on some good times Turned them into land mines You know you can turn the other way You say you've been meaning To sort through all your demons If there's some room, are you gonna let me in? You've been hung dry by your close friends Your inner child's an orphan You're so far down, you don't know where you been So many things you don't know If you want me to leave, just say so * It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated So ill fated Goodbye with reservations Regrets and salutations Something in there somewhere that I didn't say It's you I think of only Whenever you get lonely an' I got more than years to give away I've been dying to start living You're just living to be dying We can't seem to find no common ground You hate me when I'm lonely I'm lonely when you hate me Mostly I'm just there to kick around Soaring high and low First to leave, last to know *Repeat It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated |

Ropes hanging down below I see the children smiling No need to let it show * I know, I won't be coming home No more The streets and sidewalk borders Stretch out beyond the scenes The sweet and dark emotions Every day hopes and dreams My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Her eyes anticipating My each and every move *Repeat All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side The rake is scratching harder The half-drawn window shade Like any empty memory The colors seem to fade My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Remember summer showers Outside the cabin walls *Repeat |

There's a man on TV claims he killed 23
Burnt their bodies and collected their teeth There's another man at home with his wife and family tree Who agreed this would make a good movie? And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me He sold the book rights, and he was set for life A woman on a talk show wants to be his wife Another man decides to purchase his knife A court decides he's got the right And I'm sitting here, wondering how he can ever sleep at night I don't want to walk where he walked I don't want to talk to who he stalked I don't want to walk where he walked First it was a book, and then it was a movie They cut it all up and they put it on the TV The starring role was played by Christopher Lee He was fine, he was something to see And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me Oh Lord, I didn't catch how he got caught |

Blowing through my losing streak
Bought the farm on a dead-end street Nothing ever grows under your sun Filling voids with emptiness And driving past your old address Loneliness, two has turned to one They welcome you with broken arms Tell you they don't mean no harm Do they mean anything at all? Feeling crowded by my company You can't hate but parts of me I know there's a new myth on your floor Staying up in 409 The days are yours, the nights are mine Burned out everything except the door It's like breaking out of broken homes They tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own To call my own There's a gold mine in the local scene Get nine lives, you need thirteen Paid the price, landed on all fours You used to mean the world to me Scared to death of what that means So it don't mean nothing at all I welcomed you with broken arms You know I don't mean no harm Do I mean anything at all? (ooh, ahh) They all come from broken homes Tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own |

Who was dead a minute as a child Fell off a dock He couldn't swim and his heart stopped A gold snake slid from the sky and swallowed him up He disappeared inside He disappeared inside The train stopped in a field of oil wells A blind girl needed help getting on The man was drunk from a flask half full of rum I shook my head when he offered me some "Que sera," he said and took another swig The train roared up a hill of sickly pines A small boy chased a ball up the aisle As the black mouth of a tunnel swallowed us up We disappeared inside We disappeared inside There we go |

I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
Those starry nights, campfire lights The coyote call, the howling wind wail As I ride out on an uncertain sundown I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female The nights we spent together riding on the range Looking back it all seems so strange Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas, I did not know her name Lord, those southern girls all seem the same Down below the border, a town in Mexico I set out with the rodeo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding free with the buffalo Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over, I'll turn around And I'll watch my fingers go up and down Up and down That's okay, amigo Let me go Roll me over and turn me around Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground Roll me over and let me go Riding in the rodeo Roll me over and let me be Roll me over and let me be Cowboy's life is the one for me |

You've broken the hate, it's never too late Turn 'round, you're just another year older Still ready to fight, then lose on your side Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Who put one foot in front of the other Drift through the maze of golden haze Sweating birds are darting down in anger Block now, cries the pain Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Don't drown yourself in the sorrow You had a fall from grace Another fine day, another fine day Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day |

Before you were born, before you had hair You don't remember but I was there I remember when you broke your arm I know how you tell it You get it all wrong I loved you then and from now on That was a long time ago That was a long time ago I remember when mom and dad brought you home I was so used to bein' alone And then I wasn't alone There must be some reason for flesh and blood Some other purpose for stayin' in touch Oh we shared so much I remember when mom and dad named you Claire Before you were born, before you had hair You don't remember but I was there That was a long time ago That was a long time ago |

Don't it blow your mind like the first time? Circle the voices in a crowded room Plays in my head so out of time Kill me with kindness never enough I find Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over Envision a future still in back and white Colors of youth run into gold Blue is for sorrow, red is for sadder light Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over There's a part of you here, part of you everywhere Looking around all that I see Buildings and cars, modern technology Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over |

Locked in silence and pops up your pretty head They're sleeping now but dreams, except for lately Some things are better left unsaid Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind I saw my picture in the paper, it read 'Guilty' Eleven strong, consider him dead The crime was mine and it was done unforgiven You draw the line and I'll cross it where I stand Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind The clowns are withered, as the wind it was blowing As you and I end somewhere down again A sky channel, hollow hand sat there waiting Some things are better left unsaid Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind The crime was mine and it was done unforgiven You draw the line and I'll cross it where I stand Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind |

It was after the election Down cast they would call him Your behavior was a poem At the feet of blessed Your hate burned my hand Are you happy where you are? Well, I knew that it was over When the crowd began standing You were driving, we were swerving In the feathers began burning From the mountains to the desert I searched but you were gone Are you happy where you are? Are you happy where you are? And all the hours upon that everyone consume Could not arrest the void of him to hers Him to hers, silent too Your priest who is praying In the cold moon was laying The drunkard, he was drinking And the young boy, he was thinking For the first time in a long time You felt hurt she died Are you happy where you are? Are you happy where you are? And all the alcohol that everyone consumed Could not arrest the boy who trots around the wound Don't look behind the face to see the faith is gone You know that's only wise for everyone, everyone, oh, gone Well, I saw you at the station It was after the election Down tribe they would call him Your behavior was so sad At the feet of altar Your hate burned my hand Are you happy where you are?

Is it on or in the air tonight
Or is this just a station on the way Cannon come to know we're on an endless flight Won't come down again till All Souls Day Spend your days, your time's unfazed Passed out on a floor Lost remains were claimed the names Of something you ain't never felt before I know a star that shines but not so bright Its nights like these, they will fall out of the sky She loves it all, just not herself tonight Sleeps but never dreams and wonders why The river bends, refuse descend All washed up on the shore The turnings seems like twisted scenes Of something you ain't never felt before You never felt before You never felt before The best made plans like planes are standing Tumble through the hour glass And all those things you've come to hate Are gone And hope won't bring her 'round again She's yours until the bitter end And all those things you've come to hate Are gone Something you ain't never felt before You never felt before You never felt before Dying to breathe life into a photograph Human you to pass, where did you go |

You now I always loved it, just because I can Couldn't find the door you let me in You said I'm always welcome, sure you will again Call me the moment you wake up Our hand is stretched till under edge No one could ever stop us or give a shit, my friend And on the bus, you weighed your trust That wasn't made to be broken and it's never been Call me the moment you wake up When you close your eyes, do you think of me? When you close your eyes, do you think of me? Your eyes are bold, your heart is gold You know I always love you, just because I can I let you in, you're always welcome That's how it's always been And if it feels like no one else understands You know I can And if you're feeling no one else understands You better believe I can You know what's wrong with me You know what's wrong with me And you know what's wrong with me You know what's wrong with me When you close your eyes, do you think of me?
