Lyrics:

We walk on pins and needles, don't get me wrong, it could be worse

Lyrics:

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah We watched it all In disbelief At the trains station on Christmas Eve A tragic tail A gruesome scene A bitter end for the chief of police It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When you wake to find the devil where you sleep Sounds like you got your moneys worth Turns out the chief was on the take He battled demons no honest man could take Made demands he could not fulfill And he got caught with his hand in the till It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When it all comes crumbling down around your feet You could say you got your moneys worth That’s when the chief cam stumbling in With a half empty bottle of gin The west over The shot rang out The bottle shattered as his body hit the ground It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse There’s a lesson to be learned You played with fire and he got burned When it all comes crumbling down into the sea They’ll say I got my moneys worth Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah Got my money’s worth

Lyrics:

Cast your eyes on the starry skies While I fashion my disguise For cure all remedies and bargain priced redemptions This may come as a surprise But I’m not like those other guys They’re all charlatans and master of deception Just a preacher on the stage In this dark and troubled age Signs of error on every page Revelations And Armageddon’s on its way Who’s prepared for judgment day Some will perish and some will pay for their salvation With their generous donations Cause I’m spinning a web that’s designed to confuse and bewilder My weapons are words; I can kill two birds with one scripture Then I’m your Man Men in suits all neatly pressed Women in their Sunday best Watch me dazzle and impress The congregation And how I sing them all to sleep Pray the Lord their souls to keep By the time their counting sheep I’m on vacation Thanks to those donations Cause I’m spinning a web that’s designed to confuse and bewilder My weapons are words; I can kill two birds with one scripture Then I’m your Man I’m your man I’m your man Got the keys to the Promised Land I’m your man Take my hand Lead the way to the Promised Land

Lyrics:

God in heaven only knows Where we been and where we’re going to You know its true I keep waiting patiently The answers nearly breaking me in two You know it’s true We could stay here in this garden suite forever Let the sunflowers grow tall around our bed See the sun refuse to rise and set without us After all is said is done The beauty of the setting sun Will never hold a candle up to you You know it’s true Jealous are the daffodils Gossip when you walk into the room You know it’s true Soft through the geranium Compete for your attentions as they blow You know it’s true We could stay here in this garden suite forever Let the sunflowers grow tall around our bed See the sun refuse to rise and set without us After all is said is done The beauty of the setting sun Will never hold a candle up to you You know it’s true We could stay here in this garden suite forever Let the sunflowers grow tall around our bed See the sun refuse to rise and set without us After all is said is done The beauty of the setting sun Will never hold a candle up to you You know it’s true

Lyrics:

Ventured out along the highway Met a man who wasn’t there Told me son you know your journeys just begun Then vanished in the air Like a ghost he disappeared into the air Traveled far across the ocean Lost me way upon the sea And I fell pray to the song the sirens sang Would have been the death of me Surely would have been the death of me Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong Wondered deep into the forest Lost my way among the trees Wolf appeared dripping crimson from his beard Grinned and whispered come with me Yeah the wolf, he smiled and whispered come with me Traveled far across the desert Lost my way upon the sand Heaven sakes said the goddamn rattlesnake Never escape this barren land No you’ll never escape this barren land Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong Times they may change Lines they grow deeper with age Voices they fade Words they remain Remain on the page oh Lead us not into temptation Lead us not so far astray Give us sight, give us peace throughout the night Million star to light the way Million star to light the way Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong Take my hand lead the way home Lead the way home Where I belong

Lyrics:

Well there’s a nation wide panic That’s what the radio said The whole country is crawling With the walking dead You could hide in the closet Or crawl under the bed We got the living dead blues You got to board up the windows Lock all the doors They got us surrounded There’s a hundred and more So load up the shotgun Give ‘em what for We got the living dead blues We got to keep it together We got to get through the night And know they got us out numbered But we gonna put up a fight If we cant win You know we got nothing to lose There’s a sure fire method To kill the undead You got to raise up that barrel And aim for the head They wont know what hit ‘em With a face full of lead We got the living dead blues Yeah we got the living dead blues Yeah the living dead blues

Lyrics:

Story opens in a time of war Fane promise in a raging storm Sky rumbled and the rain did pour As it had on the day before She was born in a time of doubt Cloud broke and the sun shown down News traveled at the speed of sound Lay sleeping in a ward downtown And I feel so much better now And I feel so much better now With you around She was born in an age of fear Dust settled and the truth came clear Farther lifted from the atmosphere And all the worries seemed to disappear And I feel so much better now Nah nah nah nah nah nah Cause you’re around Oh around Around

Lyrics:

I know that trick On the day of the funeral Hope it’s raining outside Don’t forget your umbrella Keep it there by your side And on the way to the service Play this song in the car Sing a long with the chorus If you know it by heart Now I lay me down Pale horse and rider make the round Sing it Ashes to ashes dust to dust Leave a light on for us Leave a light on for us On the day of the funeral I wonder who will attend I wonder if they’ll be grieving Or if they’ll have to pretend Close the lid on the casket Lay these bones in the ground Raise a glass to the occasion Raise one more to wash it down Now I lay me down Pale horse and rider make the round Sing it Ashes to ashes dust to dust Leave a light on for us

Lyrics:

Wonder aimlessly down streets of cobblestone Strong northeastern sends a chill down to our bones Bless the children as we lay them in there beds By early morning we’ll be Catherine Ardin We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil Curse the day this darken cloud came driftin’ in Fill the churchyard with the corpses of our kin Smell of dying travels heavy on the breeze Wretched plague has brought our city to its knees We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil The disease first appeared in our own family And on the 13th of October are youngest daughter age 11 died How precious to our bleeding hearts her dying words The last intelligible words she uttered were a prayer My kind neighbors brought the coffin and placed it at the gate And my son and myself carried her mortal remains to the grave When we were filling in the earth He uttered an expression, which found an echo in my poor heart Father I find it hard to bury our own dead We are now passing through deep waters All prostrate, fearful disease I feel I am an unworthy sinner, but a sinner saved by grace We sing for the ones we’ve buried We sing for the windows and families We sing for the sick and the elder We sing for the children We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil Deliver us from this town broken ashes and we all fall down Deliver us save us all from the curse that weighs upon our door We walk on pins and needles Deliver us from evil

Lyrics:

when we were kings we were young and we were able laid our cards upon the table and we placed them as they lay back in the day we were stubborn and defiant casting shadows and giants over every living things when we were kings we left our footprints in the sand we held the rains with steady hands we had the world at our commandwhen we beganwe were swimming in the deep endwatching the years go by like weekendsout of the corner of our eyesnow time goes bylost in restless generationssinging songs of celebrations just as loud as we can singwhen we were kingswe left our footprints in the sandwe held the rains with steady handswe had the world at our commandand the end we will stand far from where we beganin the end we will standhere's to the friends that we lost on the journeywatching helpless as they learned the only lesson they could learnthey just turn to the strange and final chapteras the bittersweet rafter finds us waiting in the wingswhen we were kingswe left our footprints in the sandwe held the rains with steady handswe had the world at our commandand the end we will standfar from where we began
