"My guardian angel wears a hard hat,"
Said the boy with the microphone "Else, I wouldn't be standing here today Ever since I was a young a boy I couldn't leave well enough alone Always trouble standing in my way Up, down, anywhere but in the middle Off the wagon, under the wheel again All or nothing - never could do just a little Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Hard living be the death of me Lead me to an early grave To die in the saddle must be my destiny But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed Good clean fun is just my imagination Down and dirty that's the way the game is played This hard life has caused me aggravation Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Can't leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse |

Last night and the night before
The thunder crowed and the rooster roared I woke up sweating on somebody's floor You know how the story goes The dirty streets, they can be so mean Everybody trying to live so clean Me, I'm stuck here in between And it's a fine line Down on monkey hill Saw a brother screaming on the corner Talkin' 'bout some low down dirty shame And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Between the buildings and the alleyways That's where the living is done Where the young boys chase the dragon That's where flesh and steel are one Down on monkey hill Saw another brother testifying this morning Talkin' 'bout how he lost everything And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Everybody's talking shit and jivin' Hard to tell which is which Dealers and healers Businessmen and bankers They all be scratchin' that itch Down on monkey hill Saw another brother testifying this evening Talkin' 'bout how he left his soul in denang And he said, "Gonna get so high that I just don't know my name" Gonna get so high I don't know my name Down on monkey hill |

In the painted silver light
I watched you gently move Now, in the cold early dawn I long to have that vision in my head again Conjure, as I may, my guilt won't let me sleep Now I know what it means To have and to hold To let go and to lose [Chorus:] In the screaming silence I try to lose myself But there is no hiding place No hiding place Here they come again Those voices, they'll be with me till the end Maybe it helps the pain How would I know? I never slow down long enough But, ain't life funny I don't know if I will ever see you again But, in the painted silver light I watched you And I'll keep on watching you [Chorus x2] Seven days I watched the sun come rising No sleep for the wicked Seven nights I lie awake While my mind drifted across valley and streams Shadows everywhere Still I search for some kind of sign But, in the painted silver light I'll come running Running [Chorus x2] |

Don't you know greatness comes to those who can hold it Did it slip right through your hands Did it brush your sleeve as it passed you by Do you compare yourself now to then All this pent up anger Don't you feel alone, ranger? Don't you, towering fool? So you use every ounce of your energy To keep those around you down But there is a tear in the eye of the ring master And a smile on the face of the clown Yeah, you couldn't see through your own arrogance To what the whole world already knew You had to keep pushing it past the point Till it all crumbled down on you Didn't you, towering fool? |

Bigelow the gigolo had no where else to go
His sad eyes had seen it all Scarred and lonely, tough as nails Open your heart when all else fails Wear the veil and the Trojan-horse smile Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And you have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by To carry you away Target practice with other people’s lives Hit a few right between the eyes But most of the time You were wounded by the ricochet You say "play to win boys, never play to lose Long as your playing boys, you’re bullet-proof" But think about it, you’re bleeding to death anyway You have fallen down Down from the heavens Stuck out in the desert Amazing grace such a lonely place For heroes like you and me Fallen down, just like a shooting star With no fallen angel standing by Angel of mercy, take pity on a fool That spent a lifetime wondering What Napoleon would do If he were in your shoes Rich without pleasure, respected without love Drinking poison from a golden cup While anger, creeps like a knife into your heart Looking back on yesteryear Seems like maybe you missed your calling But hindsight is very clear when loneliness is falling And destiny’s through calling And you have fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace, it’s such a lonely place Oh yes it is Fallen down, fallen down Fallen down, fallen down Amazing grace such a lonely place Oh yes yes it is Fallen down, fallen down |

Life here ain't so bad My friends are tired - their lives are wasted Just like their moms and their dads And they don't know what I am talking about And they may never know I'm just fourteen - but I know where I stand Behind these walls - life ain't so easy But it's turned me into a man Sometimes I don't know what I am talking about And I may never know Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Look at my eyes - maybe they'll show you the truth The truth I cannot see Once in a while I catch a glimpse of it all But it slips away from me Someday I'll know what's going on in my head For now, I'll just stay here Far away - the cool taste of reality Far away - perfect little family Far away - the little boy I used to be Far away I hate it when they look right through you It sends me into a rage I know I ain't crazy - and I don't need your proof I just need out of this cage Hello again - It's me, the fool on the hill Life here ain't so bad |

Woman, suspended in time
Heal yourself, no need to stay blind Spiral dreams, too much to bear Spiralling, who knows where Let me take you down No need to suffer any more Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms We'll lie awake till sleep overtakes us Can't you see There's no need to suffer any more Defenceless, trapped in a cage Blissfulness, devoured by the rage Fates' been cruel, though the years been kind You've got to heal yourself, no need to stay blind Let me take you down No need to suffer any more Wrap yourself in the warmth of my arms We'll laugh out loud, while the earth dies screaming Can't you see There's no need to suffer any more And we'll fly away Look down at the earth below Fly away, we'll never look back Never look back Woman suspended in time Heal yourself, no need to stay blind |

I can't save you - but I can talk you down
I can hold you - but I won't watch you drown In my life - things have a way of growing downward And I don't know if I can watch myself be a coward Again I don't know you like I thought I did But I will show you things that I kept hid In my life - I've always been the one that had to ruin things So I don't know - is some dark angel pulling on my heart strings Again In my life - things have a kind of ragged beauty And I don't seem to know right from wrong Or so they say - unless it's happening to me People change - I don't know what for Strangers walking in and out my door Something's got to change - the past just hangs here to remind me That one of these mornings - I'll reach for you And find me I have told you - I won't watch you drown I can't save you - but I will be around |

Yellow moon shining like fool's gold
Slipping soflty into the sea Memories how they linger Guess we weren't strong enough, you and me Still I look to find a reason Search my mind for a vision Hide from the answers as the questions Burn in my head [Chorus:] Shining like a fool's moon Shining like a fool's moon Burning out way too soon Shining like a fool's moon I wish I'd known you as a child I wish I'd known you when my heart ran wild Never knew how much I'd miss those dream-filled days [Chorus] And when all is said and done My loneliness has just begun But you make it look so easy Never winning but never caring if you lose [Chorus] |

On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend Searching for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs And everything that you used to know Is slipping away Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for asking No going back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standing Dig your shoes into the dirt Trying hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders We can be the only one See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feeling when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feeling deep inside And there's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rolling creation Sit away from the window And lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see the yellow flowers bloom Sun going down It's gonna be rising soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a riverbend Searching for a reason to go astray You couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man could do Just the sound of his walking Could split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretending That this song's for me See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look You took a wrong turn Down by the waterline I heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searching for a reason to go astray |

Last night
I saw a fire burning on The palace lawn. O'er the land, The humble subjects watched in mixed Emotion. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The palace door. Silent majority Weren't keepin' quiet Anymore. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Last night I saw the fire spreadin' to The countryside. In the mornin', Few were left to watch The ashes die. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Who is burnin'? Who is burnin'? Effigy. Why? Why? Why? Effigy. |

Peeping round the door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies They've taken her away where is she now Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand Maybe she could laugh maybe understand Why was I so cruel where is she now Acting like a fool had to make her cry Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now |

Been lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close Can't get one moments peace To save my doggone soul I've been doing more than drinking' Trying' to ease my pain But everywhere I go, somebody speaks your name All my friends keep on asking' Boy what's wrong with you I say I'm worried, worried down with the blues Tried to be a good man Worked my fingers to the bone And you returned the favor By wreckin' up my happy home You played so many dirty tricks 'Til I lost my faith in you Now you want me to take you back What's a poor man supposed to do Worried down with the blues Oh, yes I am Worried down with the blues Feel like I was born to lose I used to walk with pride With my head held high Now I'm staring down at my shoes Yes, I'm worried, worried down with the blues You made me turn my back On my very best friends And when my back was turned You were messin' around with them Still I'd give up everything To have you back by my side 'Cuz in the cold, cold night When I reach for you All I'm holdin' is my foolish pride Worried down with the blues Oh, yes I am Worried down with the blues Feel like I was born to lose I used to walk with pride With my head held high Now I'm staring down at my shoes Yes I'm worried, worried down with the blues |

Mysterious - blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame Visibly shaken but never stirred - drives them insane I see the way she plays her men - and I know I've got to know her name She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again I see the way she casts her spell - It's like drowning in moonlight Discards them when she's done - they're lost in her twilight I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right She's so beautifully broken - you can hardly see the flaw Especially from a distance - which is always how I fall Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that never learned to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken Why do I fall for the dangerous ones - the ones that Don't know how to let go And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her When she's already been so beautifully broken She's so beautifully broken - shaped by the wind Dangerously twisted - Here I go again Here I go again ************************************************************* Warren Haynes Danny Lewis |

You sit there staring
With your little girl smile You got it all figured out So many others You thought they were like me You don't know In this world of fear and desperation You seem to have it all in your hands So used to holding things - holding things But no one ever made you understand (chorus) So come on and tear me down Tear me down Take anything you need - anything Tear me down Tear me down I know what you want So come on and tear me down So many people headed the wrong way Me, I've been - and I'm going again Windsurfing on a fast train Chances are none and slim You think you're the only one In the whole world That ever danced upon the razor's edge I don't need to pour more fuel on the fire But if that's what you want come on (chorus) |

Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right. Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die. This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy. If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more. One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right? You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might. You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight. Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation. You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution. |

I see the faces laughing-are they laughing at me?
I know now where the traps lie-are they lying for me? Only love can save you-but I don't feel it I'm just a poor soul I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss I hear the sirens calling-are they calling for me? I feel the tumblers falling-are the falling on me? Only truth can save you-but I don't remember it I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-But I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Where are all the others that fell before me-will I see them again? And where is the strength that I've known for so long-is it failing me now? Nothing left to save you I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss |

Only the darkness can keep you warm
On an evil night like this Are you looking for some one To give your little arm a twist Everybody needs some danger sometimes I'm no different Just think of me as your equal I won't undress you I won't hold you down I won't stick a knife in your back The way you did that clown Can you feel it - can you taste it Yeah, you must've seen it coming Surely you could've guessed The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess You better pray for a miracle Or you better pray this never ends I, myself, can play the victim I'll do whatever the part demands You saw me watching you You had time to run Ain't it enough that you torture me You had to go for his gun Can you feel it - can you taste it Yeah, you must've seen it coming Surely you could've guessed The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess You won't see no bright lights burning But you'll feel the heat This is what happens When strangers turn to lovers turn to enemies Can you feel it - can you taste it Don't look at me that way With that blood on your dress The game is up I'm gonna' take you down No more crying I think it's time to confess |

My spirit sleeps like a sunset trapped behind the clouds
Dying to awake Bright lights shine somewhere over the mountain Much too far away I don't know myself today I can feel me slip away World of confusion Getting darker everyday Morning comes - still I don't feel welcome even in my own skin Feeling kinda numb like the earth after the storm I'm learning to breathe again Bleeding softly on your floor I can't take it anymore World of confusion Getting darker everyday Reality escapes me as I try to do the same Once you saved me for a while till I fell again Did you see your God rising in the smoke? Did he tell you that it was your time? Silence falls uncovered like the truth Naked bathed in God's own light World of confusion Getting darker everyday |

I must leave you for a season
Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario |

Said the boy with the microphone "Else, I wouldn't be standing here today Ever since I was a young a boy I couldn't leave well enough alone Always trouble standing in my way Up, down, anywhere but in the middle Off the wagon, under the wheel again All or nothing - never could do just a little Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Hard living be the death of me Lead me to an early grave To die in the saddle must be my destiny But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed Good clean fun is just my imagination Down and dirty that's the way the game is played This hard life has caused me aggravation Never could leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse Can't leave it alone Got to ride that rocking horse |

It's heavy-lay your burden down Brother can't you see stars in the night Brother can't you see stars in the night There's a road up yonder far beyond the light Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky Take a ride this morning on a slow train through the sky My life is just a fast train, gone in the blink of an eye It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine Felt the hand last Sunday when the stars refuse to shine I'm just a young man, I don't feel like dying It's heavy-lay your burden down It's heavy-lay your burden down Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Can't you hear the angels screaming or is it all in my head Looking out my window and the sky is blood red The sky is blood red You got to lay your burden down |

Slipping soflty into the sea Memories how they linger Guess we weren't strong enough, you and me Still I look to find a reason Search my mind for a vision Hide from the answers as the questions Burn in my head [Chorus:] Shining like a fool's moon Shining like a fool's moon Burning out way too soon Shining like a fool's moon I wish I'd known you as a child I wish I'd known you when my heart ran wild Never knew how much I'd miss those dream-filled days [Chorus] And when all is said and done My loneliness has just begun But you make it look so easy Never winning but never caring if you lose [Chorus] |

I never knew you
But then who really did? If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid A patchwork quilt of a life Memories embroidered On your soul So please forgive me For putting you in my song But the spirit she moves me In fact she pushes me along It's a patchwork quilt of a life Can't stop the river Just let it roll We were at Jones Beach When we got the word Saddest sound that I ever heard The bluest note that nobody could play Ravens sang with us that night on the stage Tears of sadness, tears of rage But nobody spoke, we all felt old And in the way So walk beside me Or above me, I don't know These days it sure seems I'm lost where ever I go God, how could you, I heard someone say And what do we do with our lives now anyway? Now that our North Star can no longer be found But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky Hippies dance and babies cry Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars Bright lights, dark Star I never knew you But then who really did If you were at all like me You managed to keep yourself hid |

Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario |

On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend Searching for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs And everything that you used to know Is slipping away Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for asking No going back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standing Dig your shoes into the dirt Trying hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders We can be the only one See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feeling when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feeling deep inside And there's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rolling creation Sit away from the window And lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see the yellow flowers bloom Sun going down It's gonna be rising soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a riverbend Searching for a reason to go astray You couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man could do Just the sound of his walking Could split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretending That this song's for me See the world's still spinning 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look You took a wrong turn Down by the waterline I heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searching for a reason to go astray |

As this wheel goes 'round and I search to find my way
Struggle just to hold on through an ordinary day I do believe I'm slipping away But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return Fate should not have blinded me For your beauty steals my eyes and what good is my wisdom when there are no words to say How I feel everyday But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return Daylight finds me sleeping dreaming of my youth But darkness calls my name out loud And I answer to the truth But I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own I shall return Oh, I shall return though I'm losing myself I shall return I shall return from the depths of my own hell I shall return |

I see the faces laughing-are they laughing at me?
I know now where the traps lie-are they lying for me? Only love can save you-but I don't feel it I'm just a poor soul I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss I hear the sirens calling-are they calling for me? I feel the tumblers falling-are the falling on me? Only truth can save you-but I don't remember it I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-But I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Where are all the others that fell before me-will I see them again? And where is the strength that I've known for so long-is it failing me now? Nothing left to save you I'm just a poor soul-I'm weak-but I gotta stand tall Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss Trying not to fall into the abyss |
