Catch a boat to England, baby, Maybe to Spain, Wherever I have gone, Wherever I've been and gone, Wherever I have gone The blues are all the same.
Send out for whisky, baby, Send out for gin, Me and room service, honey, Me and room service, babe, Me and room service Well, we're living a life of sin
When I'm not drinking, baby, You are on my mind, When I'm not sleeping, honey, When I ain't sleeping, mama, When I'm not sleeping Well you know you'll find me crying.
Try another city, baby, Another town, Wherever I have gone, Wherever I've been and gone, Wherever I have gone The blues come following down.
Living is a gamble, baby, Loving's much the same, Wherever I have played, Wherever I throw them dice, Wherever I have played The blues have run the game.
Maybe tomorrow, honey, Someplace down the line, I'll wake up older, So much older, mama, Wake up older And I'll just stop all my trying.
Catch a boat to England, baby, Maybe to Spain, Wherever I have gone, Wherever I've been and gone, Wherever I have gone The blues are all the same.
Don't look back Over your shoulder Keep your eye on freedom shore 'Cause you know The brave men with you Also pay the wages of war
You can read all about justice In a million books and more But there aren't words To bring back Evers Nor pay the price That he stood for So don't look back Over your shoulder Keep your eye on freedom shore 'Cause you know The brave men with you Also pay the wages of war
Well can't you hear the bells of Selma Calling out their mournful chimes Just another death for justice Another sorrow that's yours and mine So don't look back Over your shoulder Keep your eye on freedom shore 'Cause you know The brave men with you Also pay the wages of war
Well there are walls that make a prison Many names that can bring hate You tear a€?em down and ride a€?em over Before you find It's just too late So don't look back Over your shoulder Keep your eye on freedom shore 'Cause you know The brave men with you Also pay the wages of war
Kimbie wants a nine dollar show Kimbie wants a nine dollar show She wants a nine dollar show And I need Well baby where you been so long
Baby where you been so long I've been in that state pen With them rough and rowdy, rough and rowdy, rough and rowdy men Well baby where you been so long
Baby where you been so long I've been in your state pen And I gotta go back again Well baby where you been so long
Kimbie let your hair hang down Kimbie let your hair, let it hang down Let your hair hang down And your bangs all curl around Kimbie let your hair hang down
Kimbie let your hair, let it hang down Let your hair hang down And come the morning You know I'll be gone Well baby let your hair hang down
Well I wished I was a mole in the ground I wished I were a mole in the ground I was a mole in the ground And that I'd tear, I'd tear this mountain down Wished I was a mole in the ground
Yellow walls that shine like silver Dark green windows Stare never closed From yellow walls that shine like silver Through the hands I choose to hold
Painting nightlight In searching questions Cannot catch the shadow That is me Running naked And unmentioned Through the death Of a saltless sea
No one knows me In the morning No one sees me go walking by And if I listen while no one answers The winds can only echo a goodbye
While through your windows And through your walls I see you made of crystal light I see you running and never moving I see you waiting for my knife
Through yellow walls that shine like silver Dark green windows Stare never closed Through yellow walls that shine like silver Through the hands I choose to hold
Monday's shine, yes an' Tuesday's rain While the days that go by baby like a south bound train Well its funny thinking you won't ever call my name
Here comes lonely Here come the blues
Well the words they won't come babe You know my tongue is cold Well there's nothing new blue lady, that won't get old Yes the dealer's gone down And I just better fold
Here comes lonely Here comes the blues
You know the sun has run down, oh She's gone out to hide Yes and I'm out walking While midnight rides Just me, the good time Charlie's, and the suicides
Here comes lonely Here come the blues
While Thursday's dry Yes and Friday's just the same Maybe come down blue Monday I will grab the brakes again Cause no bottle of pills can kill this pain
Here comes lonely Here come the blues Here comes lonely Here come the blues
I've seen your face in every place that I'll be goin' I read your words like black hungry birds read every song Rise and fall Spin and call And my name Is carnival Sad music in the night Sings a scream of light out of chorus And voices you might hear appear and disappear In the forest Short and tall throw the ball And my name is carnival Strings of yellow tears Drip from black wire fears In the meadow And their white halos spin With an anger that is thin And turns to sorrow King of all Hear me call Hear my name Carnival Here there is no law But the arcade's penny claw Hanging empty The painted laughing smile And the turning of the style Do not envy And the small Can steal the ball To touch the face Of carnival The fat woman frowns At screaming frightened clowns That move enchanted And a shadow lie and waits Outside your iron gates With one wish granted Colours fall Throw the ball Play the game Of carnival Without a thought of size You come to hypnotize The danger The world that comes apart Has no single heart When life is stranger Wheel and call Clawed dreams all In the name Of carnival Wheel and call Clawed dreams all In the name Of carnival
I want to be alone I need to touch each stone Face the grave that I have grown I want to be Alone Before all the days are gone And darker walls are bent and torn To pass the time of those who mourn I want to be Alone Rivers that run anywhere Are in my hand and just up the stair Past the eyes of those who care Who can never be Alone Changes that were not meant to be Tow the hours of my memory Sing a song of love to me To say you must never Never be alone The tears of a silent rain Seek shelter on my broken pain And run away But I remain To speak the words That sing Of alone I want to be alone I need to touch each stone Face the grave that I have grown I want to be Alone
Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Sunlight dances slowly on a drum beats broken rhyme I speak in answers only to see them in my mind If I had a penny I'd throw it in the sea to see if would float away Or grow of any tree I play the fool of rhythm To speak of what is sane I never think of singing to those who feel the same See how high the rain falls See the color in my hair Hunt for golden pourage bowls Hear the paper tear Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind Death gives no reason So why should I Death has no season So I know I'll never die Just like anything To sing To sing To sing Is a state of mind
Wondering and waiting My back against the wall Not a word that passed between us Comes to call Just your shadow on the window And your step on down the hall You never wanted me babe You never knew me at all
I haven't any picture To set before my eyes Nothing to blame When the blues start to rise Just the memory of laughter And the living out of lies And if I could change my ways babe You'd never have said goodbye
If you ever get the time baby Please think on me It's a lock that can't be broken And there isn't any key And I'm only in your mind Only you can set me free You can't hurt me anymore babe And that isn't hard to see
Someday someone will leave you And I know you'll feel the same You'll mark it down to memory And the dream that never came Well there are no answers given When love is just a game You never wanted me babe And now I feel the same
Catch a boat to England, baby, Maybe to Spain, Wherever I have gone, Wherever I've been and gone, Wherever I have gone The blues are all the same.
Send out for whisky, baby, Send out for gin, Me and room service, honey, Me and room service, babe, Me and room service Well, we're living a life of sin

The ghost of her hair Floats over there And the smile, the smile It seems so lonely She gave me her hand As I struck up the band And she seemed to say, she seemed to say ‘You're the only'
And then we danced like two snowflakes In the falling wind In the wind And do me a favour god Won't you let Marlene come in
The gymnasium floor The price bound door The jungle bird the jungle bird That you showed me Her love was so clean To tell the truth Marlene The sound of your tambourine still owns me
We were so young then Now that I'm old I know, oh I know I loved you right then I would have made Marlene let go
My friends in the bars Hell they only see the scars And they do not give a damn, they do not give a damn That I loved you I don't know why But once you've seen the sky You think you know all birds are lovely
But there's snow on the ground In Woodstock tonight It's 22 years dead Since I saw the light
The world it explodes As such a high powered load To run, to run, to run Was all I left me Appeared as breeze High in the clouds we're free To fly, to fly away Was the lesson
You know the fire it burned her life out Left me little more I am a crippled singer And it evens up the score
The ghost of her hair It floats over there And the smile, the smile It seems so lonely She gave me her hand As I struck up the band And she seemed to say, she seemed to say ‘You're the only'
And then we danced like two snowflakes In the falling wind In the wind And do me a favour god Won't you let Marlene come in And do me a favour god Won't you let Marlene come in
Well she, she's just a picture Who lives on my wall Well she, she's just a picture And the reason, reason, reason it is so small With a smile so inviting and a body so tall She, she's just a picture Just a picture That's all
Well you stand there, stand there with the nightshade Her dripping ripping down your hands And you ask me, ask me about the lightning And the lady, lady, lady she understands It's a dream for the future and the water for the sands And the strangeness is wandering Through many callin' lands
I'd give you, give you quite freely All the clothes on your gipsy bait And I'd suffer, suffer so long in prison If I knew you'd have to wait With the wind scouring sandstone And the ashes in your grate Somewhere no devil emperor The great whale's gone The holy plate
And this caravan it becomes an alter And the priests, the priests are big as none And I'll share, share our time together Until our time together is done But your skin it was pretty And I loved, I loved another one Now she, she's just like some picture That has faded in the sun
Well she, she's just a picture Who lives on my wall Well she, she's just a picture And the reason, reason, reason is so small With a smile so inviting and a body so tall Well she, she's just a picture Just a picture That's all Just a picture That's all
When they said that you were beautiful I said it there and then I laid aside all resistance Forgot to say amen And when you raised your hands to me A glow therein I saw A baby of the morning Was sleeping Nature's law
And it begins to seem like summer's almost gone Like the wind that blow the leaves out on the lawn
I determined that I loved you You determined I am he Determined both together We meet our company And the feathers of the wild dove Floating to the ground Gliding through the branches Spinning slowly round
As we wait in the mountains for the song That revives what's been between us all along
In Cannes there was absurdity In Nice there was the shore In Monaco there were casinos In Asia there was war And the pipers were American The peaches fresh with cream People with vibrations Just wild robots by some stream
And now we grasp imaginary straws And shuffle through the sea with bright new claws
If what we know can save us Then it's time to make the try Every time they try to make us Servants of some lie The children born of bodies In bold with pattern scheme It's a funny, funny world you live in a€?Til you learn that it's a dream
Sea serpents are rockage made of clay Explaining how we were yesterday
Still I said that you were beautiful I said it there and then I laid aside resistance Forgot to say amen And when you raised your hands to me A glow therein I see The childhood of that beauty Which belongs to you and me
And I realise that summer is never gone Like the wind that blow the leaves out on the lawn Out on the lawn Out on the lawn On the lawn
Why don't you cry for me Baby? Help me make it through Why don't you see me lately? I'm sad that I'm true
I looked up the page and your portrait it was mine Knew it was the only one of its kind I pulled out my money on the run Did not mean to hurt any one
But I got to sing it, baby And tell it for fun Might as well defend the whole body I'm in love with someone
Several years of rubies and pearls at her breast She's a demon, she's a demon, she's a demon lover Just like all the rest Or else she's billing out her wings In the many shades of contentment she brings I got to hide it baby Because of you And I hope that you're proud now honey It's all I can do
I lit the darkness, darling Come and build up my mind And I can see the likeness baby Your pain had to find
Is it any mystery how we come to fall In and out of love when sympathy's so small? And I never meaning for some tears to come Still you leave your silken flings all undone
Why don't you call me sugar? Like you used to do I know you kisses are pure poison I'm a-counting on you
And I know that you heads half crazy And I'm walk crawling too And lets make some hoops up Daisy I'm a-counting on you
Crying like a baby In my Momma's arms The day they came to tell me You were gone
What have you done to me You did not do before? I had you standing right next to me On the floor
Well, we sang in the same places We were a double draw And the folks came to see us Had it all
But they took you to some stony place And they broke your double jaw Now the pieces of its ivory Line the wall With cold iron in the fireplace And pictures of the war Well I guess it's dying a peaceful death So far Yes I guess it's dying a peaceful death So far
Crying like a baby In my Momma's arms The day they came to tell me You were gone You were gone You were gone
