Lyrics:

I woke up in the sea It washed over me I mapped it out, but it sucked me back down I woke up and the sky had crushed down and I… I woke up with a knife in my back, but got back up to fight They said “get out, get out, while you can” “Get out, get out, you better take my hand” I slept through the night, and saw the stars inside They revealed every truth and every lie I slept through the night, and the moon well it spoke… It held that knife to my throat and said, “ You don’t always get for what you hoped.” They said “get out, get out, while you can” “Get out, get out, you better take my hand”

Lyrics:

You laugh with those eyes Your kiss feels like knives I wanna get me one Need to get me some These walls like to laugh At all that we have, and don’t This ain’t no joke But everyone’s laughin’ The sun’s shining down on them Sirens sing sweetly Oh, love believe me We’ll build from the bottom And rise to the top Love those seeds, baby Rich is your crop This ain’t no joke But everyone’s laughin’ And the sun’s shining down on them

Lyrics:

did your mother warn you about california the closer you get to the sea the more the earth shakes under your feet there’s a fault line inside my brain runs parallel to the walk of fame all the stars line up one by one waiting to burn out beneath the sun put on your fancy shoes bite your lower lip and hum the blues may the western wind carry me and you when the whole world goes to hell send a message to all our friends if we never make it back again let them know we wish them well forward all our calls to this desert hotel we may feel ourselves sinking in the sand as history traces the palms of our hands time will tell truths that we can’t understand so put your faith on high alert do you believe in heaven or do you believe in hollywood? all the billboards promised us something so good if jesus forgives and drugs can help us forget maybe the past meant nothing at all put on your fancy shoes bite your lower lip and hum the blues may the western wind carry me and you when the whole world goes to hell send a message to all our friends if we never make it back again let them know we wish them well forward all our calls to this desert hotel tell me where do you go when you’re looking to forget the world and let it forget you you always seem to know how to read mind, where to find the time and what to leave behind put on your fancy shoes bite your lower lip and hum the blues may the western wind carry me and you when the whole world goes to hell send a message to all our friends if we never make it back again let them know we wish them well forward all our calls to this desert hotel

Lyrics:

Come put out the fire Break these fever dreams cast upon me So wake me up Shake me up I’ve worked these fingers to dust trying to dig my way back up Oh my lady in white You say, “it’s time, c’mon let’s ride.” So wake me up Shake me up Up and out Break of dawn A head full of old haunts I wait for you There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do I wait for you Let the light shine through

Lyrics:

Come put out the fire Break these fever dreams cast upon me So wake me up Shake me up I’ve worked these fingers to dust trying to dig my way back up Oh my lady in white You say, “it’s time, c’mon let’s ride.” So wake me up Shake me up Up and out Break of dawn A head full of old haunts I wait for you There’s nothing that I wouldn’t do I wait for you Let the light shine through

Lyrics:

I awaken feeling like a desert rose And we’re waiting on something that no one knows I had it but I lost it Found and I caught it Our dreams have all been burning Like the liars and their burdens We’re just up in arms Let’s take the long way home Sing me every song you know We are risin’ feeling like a restless wind And we’re begging for somewhere that someone’s been The walls have all been fallin’ Our knees are bruised from crawlin’ Taking, but not giving The howling hounds are stealing We’re just up in arms, again Let’s take the long way home Sing me every song you know Let’s take the long way home

Lyrics:

This feral heart begins to race Then all at once the voice of reason fades away Shadow of doubt comes creeping in That's when the war between the head and heart begins This tidal wave comes crashing over And everything I thought I knew gets washed away My shallow grave comes ever closer Til the medication makes it all better again This bullet train rolls down the track And once it's up to speed, there's no turning back There is nothing to fear but fear itself But fear itself can be a fate far worse than death This tidal wave comes crashing over And everything I thought I knew gets washed away My shallow grave comes ever closer Til the medication makes it all better again

Lyrics:

Lift me up Don’t hold me under Got lighting veins Got a rollin’ thunder Rollin’ in Rollin’ out Got lightening veins And I won’t back down Every time the wind blows It calls your name Every time the tide turns It’s washed away I can hear you callin’ and callin’ I can hear you and all them I’m all in I can hear you callin’ Lift me up Don’t hold me under Let lightning break Sing to me lover Rollin’ in Rollin’ out When the light breaks through We’ll come back down

Lyrics:

Ages ago and worlds away Beneath the moon, the branches swayed The seeds we sowed, the songs we sang Then restless hearts went separate ways Me and you, we're the same We tend to go against, against the grain The pages turn through time and space The stars align, the bond remains The moon above, strange chemistry Restless hearts we'll always be Me and you, we're the same We tend to go against, against the grain Me and you, we're the same We go against, against the grain

Lyrics:

It started with a choir of angels Turned into a murder of crows They gathered overhead on the powerlines Waiting there to feast upon the bodies below Yeah it must've been a dream Can you tell me what it means I am the infinite traveler I am a leaf on a stream I was coming home for the weekend Commuting on a passenger train The conductor came around, calling out a town That I swear I'd never even heard of by name One I invented in a dream A place like I had never seen Somehow I felt I belonged there A place that I was meant to be I am the infinite traveler I am a refugee I am a wayfaring stranger adrift upon a sea I need a choir of angels to sing a song to me I am the infinite traveler I am the infinite traveler I need a moment of silence I need a minute to think A little time for reflection I could use a strong drink I need a choir of angels to sing me back to sleep I am the infinite traveler I am the infinite traveler

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:

Take this strange shade and get lost in it Sends a slow pain to the center of my chest is slowly exposed and baby I'm all yours You show no haste when lights are low and there's no wasted morning glow when your face is mine to hold and my hands they hope to enfold you and I'm all yours The city streets wander with us the sounds grow weak as we pass the man with his hand outstretched and worn and baby I'm all yours Take this strange shade and get lost in it Sends a slow pain down to the center of my chest is slowly exposed and baby I'm all yours You show no haste when lights are low and there's no wasted morning glow when your face is mine to hold and baby baby I'm all yours Your touch oh I crave in the morning Oh I've never been open all these words I'm storing up oh and baby I hope to say I just wanna I just want to say baby I'm all yours

Lyrics:

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

Lyrics:

We live and breathe / In times of desperation / That's the unfortunate truth / These desperate times / They call for desperate measures / We've sharpened every last tooth / In victory go the spoils in the battle for the crown / Leave them lying face down in the mud / We're the keepers of the kingdom / We're the rulers of the realm / We're the dealers / Though we deal in blood / "In god we trust" / So speaks our nation's motto / We've got the lord on our side / He works for us / His actions and decisions / Are righteously justified

Lyrics:

Pictures to fixtures I want to kiss your sisters I'm hung up again I'll take my chances she caught making passes I'm coming up my driveway bend I'm careless and tired shoelaces on the wire You only so many things behind Don't tell my mother I've taken on a lover But things will be different this time I can't sleep over I must be getting older So why can't I just write it down I've learned my lesson you can't make confessions You can't even muster a sound

Lyrics:

HIGH WERE THE MOUNTAINS AND DEEP WAS THE SEA HE WAS READY TO CROSS TO SET MY SOUL FREE WITH THE EYES OF A WOLF HE MADE ME FEEL SO DIVINE I REMEMBER HIS HANDS THEY KNEW ME BETTER THAN ME "YOU KNOW BOY WITH THAT FIST THAT YOU HAVE YOU SHOULD TRY AND DO A LITTLE SOMETHING" THE DAY WAS CURSED THE ROOM WAS NAKED AND COLD HE BEGAN TO MAKE A LIVING AS A LUCHADOR ONE ON THAT LOVELY FACE AND TWO ON THOSE DEEP GREEN EYES AND THREE ON THOSE BEAUTIFUL LIPS HE USED TO KISS ME WITH EVERY NIGHT OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA KILL HIM OH MY GOD HE'S ON THE GROUND, SO MUCH BLOOD I CAN'T TAKE IT I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS FOR ME WE'RE GONNA FIND ANOTHER WAY HIGH WERE THE MOUNTAINS AND DEEP WAS THE SEA HE WAS READY TO CROSS IF IT WAS MEANT FOR ME YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THIS SHAME IF YOU STILL WANT ME AROUND I BEGGED AND PRAY WITH MY KNEES ON THE GROUND IT'S LATE MY LOVE I CAN'T JUST TURN AROUND NOW I NEED YOU TO BE STRONG JUST TRUST ME I'M TIED TO THIS AND I'M NOT GOING BACK 'CAUSE MY LIFE HAS ONLY MEANING AS A LUCHADOR ONE ON THAT LOVELY FACE AND TWO ON THOSE DEEP GREEN EYES AND THREE ON THOSE BEAUTIFUL LIPS HE USED TO KISS ME WITH EVERY NIGHT OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA KILL HIM OH MY GOD HE'S ON THE GROUND, SO MUCH BLOOD I CAN'T TAKE IT I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS FOR ME WE'RE GONNA FIND ANOTHER WAY LOOK AT ME I'M ON YOUR SIDE STAY WITH ME I'M BY YOUR SIDE OH

Lyrics:

We'll fly far away From this place while hunting stars and never run back down We'll snap photographs holding brand new memories with all this life we've found Stop and take in this world we're living in We will find love in this moment in time Chorus: Aye aye…Ooo ooo ... What a life we're living in It's a brand new beginning With everybody we know Cliff dive and let it go Here we go here we go Here we go yea V2: We'll wear sunglasses walking over water with the clouds inside our eyes Stop and take in the sun is fading behind the sky We will find light in this moment in time Chorus: Bridge: Oh what a mystery only the moon can bring sitting under stars and over dreams can you see all the possibilities

Lyrics:

I know you didn’t mean to my dear But you really broke my heart this time The one thing I’d ask you to stay away from Went running to his arms when he let you Could you take me back To when we were young? Everybody’s talking inside my mind Dancing on the tongue of every girl and guy Saying that I got no one They’re saying that I got no one Flashing neon lights on a California night I feel just like a rolling stone I tear through canyon reckless as a flame I replay all those words that gave me Honey could you take us back To when we were young? Everybody’s talking inside my mind Dancing on the tongue of every girl and guy Saying that I got no one They’re saying that I got no one I tried to cover what I really should say I tried to keep a tight lip on my face But I fear it could break Everybody’s talking inside my mind Dancing on the tongue of every girl and guy Everybody’s talking and I don’t know why Dancing on the tongue of every girl and guy Saying that I got no one

Lyrics:

In the dry summer days when the crickets all play and you know that they all call for you I'll be there with a green-eyed glare giving you the stare that you need You mustn't be blue I could have love in me too It just might take a few years to find it And if I have it in me and I don't turn out empty I swear that you'll be the first to know 'Cause the days they vanish like smoke and down to your bones you're a-burnin' 'Cause the vastness of the sea it don't match what you need And I'll here you cryin' out to me So don't make up your mind It will only take time 'till you're cryin' and grabbin' for the air, babe But I see you're resolved so I'll give it my all to wait for you to fall to the floor 'Cause I remember the way that my father would say an early grave is the work of a beauty and I ain't never been hurt but I do take his word though I really, really, really, really don't want to be alone

Lyrics:

I've put my weight against the weather, I laid my hands upon the wheel. But they're only holy harlots, so I try not to feel the winds blow, the winds blow. And the weeds turn to the city, and my mind turns back and sees you climbing into my bed with the dirt brushed off your feet. Winds do howl, winds do howl. Ooh, ooh. And if the heart's a lonely hunter, then the eyes are lying thieves that keep me from your fingers, climbing up my sleeves. Winds do howl, winds do howl. And your naked shoulders tell me that I'm awfully close to sin. Praise the good Lord that your hover doesn't know where you have been. Winds do howl, winds do howl. Ooh, ooh. And there were roots down in the river, back when I was just a boy. And there was something pure within me that just ain't pure no more. Winds have howled, red winds have howled. Ooh, ooh.

Lyrics:

I've been writin' tragedies in my bed With broken lovers that hurt in my head But they don't seem to come alive or my ink just lets 'em die like burdens that I know I need to shed And I'm hopin' that I can wake up Feel both the joy and the sorrow we sup Because the comfort creeps and it lulls me right to sleep The burdens that I choose to keep are a crutch The blank page is waitin' for the ghost of that woman that I love the most O how she terrifies! Mixes truth right in with lies Don't know why she hides her cries From coast to coast So now I'm waitin' for that midnight train to take me away from these hollow and tame Above me in the dead of night I can see that ever-lovin' light Shinin' down to give me sight And to ease my pain

Lyrics:

The serpent bit my heel and I bruised his head Though we were not dead, we were dying "It's how it's gotta be," that copperhead said As we fell to the red ground, writhing So I sand a tune to charm that old snake That I might make my escape The snake, it seemed, had heard the song once or twice And decided I needed advice "My bite, it will hurt but not harm you." So I sang my song and sang it in vain It didn't ease my pain or my cryin' Just then the serpent turned and wiped up my tears Said "Nothing to fear," he was lying So I stared into his eyes for a spell To contemplate heaven and hell I heard him talk about when grandfather fell And when he got to the parts that I knew I knew he had changed them to hide you I told that serpent that "I see through your schemes, You get behind me, I'm not buying." The snake just smiled and said, "I'll do as you please, For a small fee I'll be complyin'." So to the scene of the original crime The serpent and I went this time I still don't know what that snake hoped we would find But here's what I saw: the rise and the fall And my grandfather walking just like I am

Lyrics:

I've been searching for that lonesome tune The one I hear when I've been thinking about you The lover's theme that comes on strong But never lasts for long And I've been sounding notes in my despair Hoping that I might find you there But as each note fades, and they always do I have yet to find the strain And it makes me sing even more It makes me sing even more Silence taunts me from time to time In between that sighing rhythm and rhyme And in that quiet old refrain I start to sigh again Oh, the lies I have told myself Now I tell them to the wishing wells And the echoes answer me in song With my own melodies And it makes me sing even more It makes me sing even more O, my song it is the peacock's tail Proud as hell with heaven on its trail It calls to you in golds and blues But those feathers never flew Someday You'll sing just like the whipperwhill Someday, baby, you surely will And we'll throw our dirt against that wall And see what sticks and falls And it makes me sing even more It makes me sing even more

Lyrics:

I dreamt, I dreamed the Nazarene Gored him in the dead of night The body of a broken wife She was left standing there clean And her lack of clothes, her mannequin pose It was all elected pain Direct attempts to hide the shame and now it's the only thing that shows The holy wars the prophecies' whore Mystery, the mother's name A cup of gold, the blood of saints Scarlet beast from the ocean floor I looked upon a sky that boasts Fury for the fruit of wombs Jackals crying in their tombs An anger fit for the nation's hosts And the scalpel blade, the liar-sage Cut the fattened like a calf But seven trumpets clear a path Peels of thunder burn and empty cage

Lyrics:

You're the seemliest stranger I know If you were to leave me I would never know, you see 'Cause I have been livin' with your ghost Sometimes the story's stranger than the truth But at times like these, the truth is of no use to me A ghostly love with have to do Sleep, sleep You know I've seen you come, I've seen you go Like a bone-chillin' wind Through my thoughts, without, within You're leavin' my heart so cold Mama, she will sing her lullabies Her breath keeps the rhythm Her lips will keep that song in time I listen as she sings and father cries Sleep, sleep They tell me I can see you in my dreams Your arms, they can hurt me But the visions can't embrace me So I'm groaning when I wake and when I sleep Sleep, sleep
