Well I hear that train a comin' It's rollin' around the bend I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on That train keeps rollin' On down to San Antone When I was just a baby My mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy Don't you ever play with guns" But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die When I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and cry Well I bet there's rich folks eating In a fancy dinin' car I bet they're taking mushrooms And smokin' big cigars Well I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free Those people keep movin' And that's what tortures me If they free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine You bet I'd move it on A little farther down the line Yeah, far from Folsom Prison That's where I want to be Well those people keep movin' Goddammit, that's what tortures me If they'd free me from this prison If that railroad train was mine You bet I'd move it on A little farther down the line Yeah, far from Folsom Prison That's where I want to be Well those people keep movin' Goddammit that's what tortures me
Well, is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night But it's lacking something big this time What the hell did you expect to find Aphrodite on a barstool by your side
Twelfth night, we go After something everyone should know Somewhere in the distance out of sight Then I saw: gin mill, rainfall What do you remember, if at all? Only pieces of the night...
And is it any wonder in the middle of the crowd If you let your feet get trampled on when the music is that loud But you wanted to be where you are But it looked much better from afar A hillside in shadow between the people and the stars
Twelfth night we go After something everyone should know Somewhere in the distance out of sight Then I saw: gin mill rainfall What do you remember, if at all? Only pieces of the night...
It seems so distant But still only half the night away Where notions between your questions come too Is it any wonder where The pieces of the night have been
Twelfth night we go After something everyone should know Somewhere in the distance out of sight Then I saw: gin mill rainfall What do you remember, if at all? Only pieces of the night...
I can see it in her letters on the paper with her pen Her response is getting stranger Think she's coming round again So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go
Is she coming round for me once again Around or was that the end I just hope she's coming round again
I've been keeping myself busy with my books and with my tapes And every day's much better since I've slowed my drinking pace There's no swimming in the bottle It's just someplace we all drown I lost myself in sorrow, I've lost my confidence in doubt
Is she coming round for me once again Around or was that the end I just hope she's coming round again
Get in the car and drive through town Down the block and back around Pretending that she's there with me, we drive Gone forever
Well, my patience keeps me plaintive, my high hopes keep me alone My lover's will is shaken I wish she would just come home So tell me, Mrs. Rita, what's it say in my tarot Read my palm and tell me why do lovers come and go
Is she coming round for me once again Around or was that the end I just hope she's coming round again
so i guess i must have just been dreaming, when i thought i heard myself say no, and anyway it looks like noone heard me, so here i go. cuz when youre in the company of strangers, or with the strangers you call friends, you know before you start just how its gonna end.
and so remember when those doors swing open, and all the drinks are passed around, anytime the pickins' look too easy, hold me down
i cant remember why i like this feeling, when it always seems to let me down, soon i find im searching for the exit, from the ground. and if i think the room is turning faster, and i think the music is too loud, by then ill have another broken story, let me out.
and so remember when those doors swing open, and all the drinks are passed around, when half the party moves into the bathroom, hold me down.
if youre at the tail end of the evening, and that good feeling comes around, anytime the pickins' look too easy hold me down.
down and i want back up. down and ive gone too far.
well i guess i must have just been reeling, when i felt myself begin to fall, i realized im boundin down the hallway off the walls. and if my bed was standing in the corner i could just fall into it right now know that id be starin at the ceiling goin round and round
and so remember when those doors swing open, and all the drinks are passed around, when half the party moves into the bathroom, hold me down. or if youre at the tail end of the evening and that good feelin comes around anytime the pickins look too easy, hold me down.
down and i want back up. down and ive gone too far.
know that ill never be back home. down and ive gone too far.
I've lost my mind On what I'd find And all of the pressure that I left behind On Allison Road
Fools in the rain If the sun gets through Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road
Dark clouds fall in when the moon was near Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare There's no tellin' what I might find I couldn't see I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time On Allison Road
So she fills up her sails With my wasted breath And each one's more wasted than the others you can bet On Allison Road
Now I can't hide (on Allison Road) So why not drive (on Allison Road) I know I want to love her but I can't decide On Allison Road
And I didn't know I was lost at the time Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide And I went looking for an exit sign All I wanted to find tonight
On Allison Road Yeah I didn't know I was lost at the time On Allison Road
I've lost my mind If the sun gets through Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew On Allison Road
I walked home to the sun I couldn't ride another one I thought a lot along the lines And I've been fooled about all night Wiped clean always by midnight Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
Three, four peaks all I could see In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees But I like the goddamn heat I lie awake half the night Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight All the autumn that you can see All the autumn that you can see It's growing darker like the trees But if all the trees should fall All the bugs would crawl in my sleep and then it's cold
It's growing darker like the trees But if all the trees should fall All the bugs would crawl in my sleep and then it's cold
There's no telling I was so confused I try but I can't help you choose Tucson is so far away I lie awake half the night Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
Well I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this Like some young guy barely got his first kiss From my first baby steps to my last cigarette Every single little thing was leading to this Christine Irene Pretty as a girl on a magazine Christine Irene My Christine Irene You've been around too long to react so coy Like I'm something that you'd best avoid Like a first date kiss from an anxious guy Knowing that he's got a little more in mind Christine Irene Pretty as a girl on a magazine Christine Irene My Christine Irene We can last til dawn if the moon stays bright And hang our secret on its last light From a first date kiss that could not hide We both wanted something more tonight Christine Irene Pretty as a girl on a magazine Christine Irene My Christine Irene Christine Irene Prettiest girl as I've ever seen Christine Irene My Christine Irene
Hey, now it's all right Hey now, it's fine, it's cool Seems we've done our worst It's time to head for school And so we tripped upstairs I seen the sun come up Judging by your shape I think you've had enough It's Memphis time Just string that old guitar Tune it up to Memphis time Hey, now I couldn't know Baby, I couldn't tell Just what's going on Inside of someone else You know that this small world Sometimes this big town It can drag you up As well as drag you down It's Memphis time Just string that old guitar Tune it up to Memphis You can't say that I've been right I can't say that you've been wrong We knew it all along (Take cover Scotty) So we tripped upstairs I seen the sun come up Judging by your shape I think you've enough It's Memphis time Just string that old guitar And tune it up to Memphis time...
Did you see the sky? I think it means that we've been lost. Maybe one less time is all we need. I can't really help it if my tongue's all tied in knots. Jumping off a bridge - it's just the farthest that I've ever been. Anywhere you go I will follow you down. Anyplace but those I know by heart. Anywhere you go I will follow you down. I'll follow you down, but not that far. I know we're headed somewhere I can see how far we've come. Still I can't remember anything. Let's not do the wrong thing And I'll swear it might be fun. It's a long way down When all the knots we've tied have come undone. How you gonna ever find your place running in an artificial pace. Are they ever gonna find us lying face down in the sand. So what the hell we've already been forever d**ned.
Looking up I saw nothing But blue in the bluest sky And now it's creeping across my eye Going down in my mind, down in my mind I'm high and I'm hopeless So help me to get untied Fast asleep now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind Just fine Emulate the style A competition smile Now I'm running, not looking And opening up my brain Where it's easy to lose my name Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain I'm hoping you'll notice That no one else helps me grow Oh, it's not easy to let you know What I'm dying to show Dying until you know Pretending all the while A competition smile Now I've thrown something far And it haunts me like a curse I'm like a stone Falling hard And I'm only getting worse Looking up I saw nothing But blue in the bluest sky And now it's creeping across my eye And going down in my mind, down in my mind I'm high and I'm hopeless So help me to get untied Fast asleep now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind Just fine Pretending all the while A competition smile I'm hiding high...
Who's to say what's right or wrong If I stand out in the rain too long Filling up my drinking cup When I know I've had much more than enough Write in the pages of my notebook But they never sound the way they look Kicking at this old tin can And I wonder where the hell I am I can't figure you out I can't figure you out When it seems so fine When it's held to the light I can't figure you out I can't figure you out They push and pull till it breaks in half I never trust a guy with a nervous laugh Worried 'bout the smallest things While the world is coming crashing in I can't figure you out...
This night never happened If it's all right with you Not a word of our weakness So much as a clue There's a place outside I'm glad to play no part The fairest arms can tally up the faintest stars Wash away my weekend Shatter my sight C'mon sweet amnesia You're needed here tonight Take a seat in the shadows Forget it as it goes Dissipate in the morning air All you know If you find out You'll find every lie you might I was nowhere near last night Whitewash everything in sight These suspicions have been long drained dry Our persistence holds them here A maze of bars and rented rooms remain Enough to make you almost look away This night never happened If it's all right with you Another for the collection of things we didn't do That private party is over Thank God we get new starts The fairest arms still tally up the faintest stars When it comes down In a clear and certain light I was nowhere near last night I was nowhere near last night Whitewash everything in sight...
It's like trying to light a cigarette When the matches you got are soaking wet Tallest buildings they got are bound to fall When it's coming down like a wrecking ball Slow down, Virginia Don't make me wait Slow down, Virginia Don't make me wait Virginia It's everything that's cool rolled into one Everything that's not is left alone You can hear it ring from near and far You can hear it scream like a fire alarm Slow down, Virginia Don't make me wait Slow down, Virginia Don't make me wait Virginia Sometimes it sounds like she's been crying But when she lights, this whole dump is... It's everything that's cool rolled into one Everything that's not is left alone You can hear it ring from near and far You can hear it scream like a fire alarm Slow down, Virginia...
