Lyrics:

Cactus flower Someday I'm gonna bleed by your hand Tell the vultures to start circling Cause finally I give a damn In the valley In the tall grass with you To keep you evergreen I'd go black and blue I'm high on you as high noon For your love if you want it I'll walk through the ring For your love if you say that you want it I'll do anything Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you Desperado Send the gavel after me Maybe I need correction, baby But I'm just how you made me Sunshine Put some lines on my face Love me long enough to hate Then write something nice on my grave For your love if you want it I'll walk through the ring For your love if you say that you want it I'll do anything Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you Oh For your love if you want it I'll walk through the ring For your love if you say that you want it I'll do anything Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you Ooh ooh ooh I got fire for you

Lyrics:

Yes, I remember how I met you But we will not talk about it Reminiscing’s what we left behind To get where we are now To get where we are now Yet, sometimes it feels like we are still Those young and stunning strangers You threw a shadow in my spotlight I had a song called danger I had a song called danger But now I’m swimming in nothing Only blues are on my side I got nothing to hope for, honey I got nothing to hide Now I’m swimming in nothing Only blues are on my mind And that ocean’s endless deep And that ocean’s endless wide, but Every time you look in my eyes It’s like fire under water, fire under water Every time you look in my eyes It’s like fire under water, fire under water I go down, down, down, down, down But I come up burning every time Yes, I remember how I met you The serendipities and details It’s these kinds of moments that Give me a reason to believe Give me a reason to believe Every ship that I had captained Had been lost to stormy weather Until you came along and I thought we just might get home together I thought we might get home together But now I’m swimming in nothing Only blues are on my side I got nothing to hope for, honey I got nothing to hide Now I’m swimming in nothing Only blues are on my mind And that ocean’s endless deep And that ocean’s endless wide, but Every time you look in my eyes It’s like fire under water, fire under water Every time you look in my eyes It’s like fire under water, fire under water I go down, down, down, down, down I go down, down, down, deep down I go down, down, down, down, down I still come up burning every time

Lyrics:

so this is truth, everything all bittersweet and draped in shadow I’m waiting around but I can’t quite recall what i’ve been waiting on the leaves to turn and fall? for the night to lift from the ground? I’m reaching for your hand bending long like late summer grass wild eyed in the dawn I never can sleep I never can feel wild eyed in the dawn I’m waiting around but I can’t quite recall what i’ve been waiting on the leaves to turn and fall? for the night to lift from the ground? I’m reaching for your hand holding on like late summer grass Ooh I can’t give you up Ooh I still need your love Oooh is my mind made up? can’t quite recall what i’ve been waiting on the leaves to turn and fall? for the night to lift from the ground? can’t quite begin to understand where you went well it all returns again ashes to dust in the end still I’m reaching for your hand holding on to late summer reaching for your hand holding on like late summer

Lyrics:

there’s another life in the atmosphere floating among the stars there’s a universe where we are acrobats walking tightropes above our anxious hearts oh the possibilities of the galaxies where gravity is not a law have you ever stopped to watch your memories traveling at the speed of light? do you ever lose yourself dreaming of another life? have you ever stopped to watch your memories traveling at the speed of light? do you ever lose yourself dreaming of another life? there’s another life under a hidden sea drifting between the shores there’s a universe where time is invisible slipping through the cracks in the floor oh the possibilities of the galaxies where lines cannot be drawn have you ever stopped to watch your memories traveling at the speed of light? do you ever lose yourself dreaming of another life? have you ever stopped to watch your memories traveling at the speed of light? do you ever lose yourself dreaming of another life?

Lyrics:

Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit gonna do her over Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit Bright shapes in the whitelight?Cold eyes just before the midnight When they say they want a new life End up with the same old strife Half-blind, you don’t play fair?Dip the scales when my eyes not there Everybody gives a little care?Then leaves it alone Keep on trying?To be free of you?I don’t lie?I don’t feel?I don’t need this truth These arms?Aren’t for me?I just wanted it all?I just can’t feel at all All alone?All alone?I stay alone White dream in the hipster scene?Torn apart and it never cuts clean?I can see you out there in the cold, dark, mean world Blacklight by the backstair?Take it out yeah you know what’s there?I can tell you couldn’t bear just to leave it alone Keep on trying To be free of you I don’t lie?I don’t feel I don’t need this truth These arms?Aren’t for me?I just wanted it all I just can’t feel at all All alone?All alone?I stay alone You do what you do?You do what you do you?You do what you do you?You know it all comes back to you You do what you do?You do what you do you?You do what you do you?You know it all comes back to you Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit gonna do her over Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit gonna do her over Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit gonna do her over Woman on fire on a street corner One more hit Do it over Keep on trying?To be free of you?I don’t lie?I don’t feel?I don’t need this truth These arms?Aren’t for me?I just wanted it all?I just can’t feel at all All alone?All alone?I stay alone

Lyrics:

I was tired of being busted with my back against the wall The ends weren't meeting up the way they should Living hand to mouth, you know it ain't no life at all I had to change the station if I could So I may have placed a call to a certain someone that I know I may have pulled a job for his old man I may have been behind a shady business deal or two But I don't expect that you would understand I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried So the jobs kept stacking up, man the years kept rolling by You know there ain't no arguing with time It wasn't always honest and it wasn't always right But I did what I had to to survive So I made a little money and an enemy or two Along the way I lost a couple friends Burned a lot of bridges doing what I had to do It'll all come back to haunt me in the end I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried No one knows the wicked things I've seen through all my days People make their judgements and they turn the other way They can go to hell anyway I've been trying hard to walk the straight and narrow for a while The devil seems to follow me around Everywhere I go, you know I walk a lonely mile And I cast a lonely shadow on the ground I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried

Lyrics:

Morning after nauseous half disasters The calm is not so quiet in my head It says you drink too much You're not in love with anyone You'll never say the things you never said Oh it all seems really simple in a picture Somebody you don't know always works hard And you're always just nursing some hangover Guilt tripping over homeless works of art I've been lost, lost, lost brother I've been blinded by the sun and the father I've got more, more, more than I can shoulder But I'll be fine, when I find my way home Morning after nauseous half disasters And I swear I'll get my act together soon Cause this is not at all what I imagined, no When I thought of all the things that I might do Oh it all seems really simple when you're little Naivety is such a fuzzy friend I'm not saying I'm wrecked or I am ruined no I just mistook the beginning for the end And I got lost, lost, lost brother I got blinded by the sun and the father I've got more, more, more than I can shoulder But I'll be fine, when I find my way home Look, sometimes love is the reflection of a building in the water On a night when everybody stays at home And sometimes love's a puddled puzzle piece, obsolete and soggy That becomes a whole new picture on its own So we can bitch about how fast the world is spinning Or we can use the orbit for a whole new view I know love will be the answer to my wandering Maybe I got lost so I could find you I think I got lost so I could find you So when you're lost lost lost brother When you fly too close to the sun and the father When the world is more than you can shoulder You come and find me, you can call me home Come and find me, you can call me home Come and find me, call me home

Lyrics:

Was it ever time to let you go Your confidence is shadowed by you faults Playing with your one true life why did it come to this I saw you there just staring at the moon And shaking hands with friends mid afternoon But its all inside your head You never meant no trouble It's a cold comfort Your a cold comfort Such a cold comfort So step out of the light The silent treatment never worked on me You words they carry no compelling themes And when your life feels empty girl that thing won't pick you up It's a cold comfort Your a cold comfort Such a cold comfort So step out of the light It's a cold comfort Your a cold comfort Such a cold comfort So step out of the light

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:

We're the wilderness being chased by a fence And we will run We're the loser wolves in a den of fools Belonging to no one Valley of fire This thing don't burn away California liar Have a good day We're the change of wind, dust is blowing Don't gotta get in your eyes We're the dandelions in your rose garden I wouldn't try Valley of fire This thing don't burn away California liar Have a good day There could be Love, love, love There could be Love, love, love Valley of fire This thing don't burn away California liar Have a good day Valley of fire This thing don't burn away California liar Have a good day

Lyrics:

I watched face pressed to glass And wondered what it'd be like if it cracked Smoky mountain smoky brain I said goodbye with a bang All the birds singing and the house is on fire White knuckle rider Neon bar fist fighter Cowboy pictures in your head I'm surprised you ain't already dead All the birds singing and the house is on fire whistle We danced on the shoulder Watching the headlights come closer A pack of dogs run together I wish you were the same but better All the birds singing and the house is on fire Parking lot of the convenience store If anyone gave a damn we were waiting for em A day late and a dollar short All the birds singing and the house is on fire whistle Suddenly everything's interesting Flash those pale pretty stupid greens Suddenly everything's interesting Flash those pale pretty stupid greens whistle

Lyrics:

I was your rock in your wildest transition Doctored you up in the worst of your days So you preached me your gospel when no one else listened Yes I sat in your pew just to hear what you’d say Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind Always turn to sometimes Sometimes turn to nevers Temporary goodbyes Turn into forever You go sing your Rocky Top And buy a tighter skirt And I’ll leave my Great Smoky Love with you babe And you can decide what it’s worth I thought of you while all the white constellations Burned through the black veil hung up in the sky If those stars persist to be seen through the darkness Then I sure as Hell can remain in your life You like to be kissed when we passed by the drug store Our town’s only traffic light lit up in red When the yellow bulbs burned you would lean in for one more But these days I hope for the green lights instead Eastern time’s just like a car where the brake lights Are burned out from stoppin’ one too many times So you look out your rearview, catch the last of the sunlight Hope whatever’s down the road is worth what’s left behind

Lyrics:

Cold diamond eyes 24 karat ring Hello there beautiful thing Gold in your pocket Grandmother’s locket Hold my hands and we’ll drop it Girl from Las Vegas Gideon’s Bible won’t save us Who could they find to replace us? Dances after school Tell me you think I’m cool Yeah tell me you think I’m cool Raised in Colorado All of this time was just borrowed And babe I’ll be back home tomorrow Meet me by the beach please The things that my parents don’t teach me And baby you never will reach me

Lyrics:

These abandoned buildings, they don't make a sound They just cast their shadows all across this town Their drawn-out faces, man they're dragging me down These broken windows, they've seen too much They know all the secrets, they just stare and judge And they're always listening, so I'm keeping my mouth shut I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here These haunted houses with their curtains drawn This desolation, it goes on and on This lonely sidewalk I've been walking all night long This small town feeling, it's wearing thin These walls around me, they're closing in It's a broken record, and it's making my head spin I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here

Lyrics:

Watch 'em come and go like a flash in the pan But everybody knows that we're lifers man Yeah I know this place like the back of my hand A long time ago we put a flag in the sand All the late nights in the 813 At the Crowbar and the New World Brewery Baby we ain't as reckless as we used to be But we can run with the devil when the drinks are free We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page See I was born with an empty space to fill Just a kid dreaming, leaning on a window sill Now I gotta keep moving, baby, can't stand still 'Cause if the drinking don't kill me the anxiety will We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page It's only words on a page We leave our blood on the stage...

Lyrics:

Flipping through the pages, looking for some kind of sign Staring at the words and trying to read between the lines Searching for the patterns, but they're too hard to define Weigh the facts and figures, read the writing on the wall Hoping for a tip from some anonymous phone call Questioning the witnesses, but no one here knows anything at all It's weighing heavy on my mind The more I seek the less I find Can't get the truth to unwind Can't see to the end of the line This mystery of mine Staring at the ceiling, cursing through my teeth Scratching at the surface for the answers underneath A late night revelation or a moment of clarity Examine all the evidence, investigate the crime Picking up the pieces, running out of time Yesterday is a memory, today's not far behind It's weighing heavy on my mind The more I seek the less I find Can't get the truth to unwind Can't see to the end of the line This mystery of mine And I'm haunted by a vision like a spirit in the fog It's a melancholy melody that carries me along And I recognize the music, but I can't recall the words to the song It's a fading apparition as I'm waking from a dream And it's drifting in the distance like a feather on a stream And the more I try to chase it, man, the faster it's escaping from me And I'm reaching out to feel it, but it's slipping through my hands I'm a man on a mission, I'm a person in a trance And I'm going through the motions, but it doesn't follow any kind of plan Yeah I'm scanning that horizon out as far as I can see And I know that there's an answer waiting right in front of me It's a troublesome equation, but I'll work it out eventually

Lyrics:

I believe that the worst is behind us It's the winter of our discontent In the blink of an eye, so many years have gone by Man I'm not really sure where they went Now it feels a weight has been lifted From my shoulders like a ton of lead So many years that I've tried to push these feelings inside Maybe put all my demons to bed If these demons are safely behind me Some nights it feels like they're right on my trail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail There's a fire inside and it's burning Yeah it smolders like a cigarette At the end of the day, we keep our demons at bay Using whatever help we can get There's a choir in my head loud as Christmas And it's ringing like a mission bell If I can get through the night, I'll be doing alright But it may be to early to tell Sometimes it seems like my boat she's a-sinking And I'm in need of some wind in my sail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail Now it looks like the darkness is lifting And we're blinded by the light of day In the stillness of dawn, now our voices are gone And we've got no more words to say Sometimes it feels like my cup runneth over Sometimes it seems like I'm destined to fail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail Though it seems like these wolves are behind me Some nights it feels like they're hot on my trail There's a battle tonight between the dark and the light And the one that I feed will prevail

Lyrics:

Already got my suitcase ready Cause you wanna run away too, and you're gonna ask me To California we'll ride with the top down And when you say my name I'll get to watch your mouth Ooh How whiskey lies Saying you Are mine all mine Ooh How whiskey lies Saying you Are mine all mine Baby, just look at what you make me do I know I'm surrounded by thieves, and I still fall for you I can say anything to your back But if we have a staredown I'm gonna lose bad Ooh How whiskey lies Saying you Are mine all mine Ooh How whiskey lies Saying you Are mine all mine

Lyrics:

I get blue with a pretty messed up worldview And a kick like a mule I'm sorry as a middle finger One person in my nation With guns a blazin But you won't find a face friendlier I got a real bargain Fistful of nothin Running from the lawman Running from the lawman Bathe in the electric glow Bucking pinto go Running from the lawman Running from the lawman White line fever A freedom seeker And I'm as sorry as a middle finger Demand and I will supply There's always gotta be a bad guy You found yourself a dead ringer I got a real bargain Fistful of nothin' Running from the lawman Running from the lawman Bathe in the electric glow Bucking pinto go Running from the lawman Running from the lawman Instrumental bridge I got a real bargain Fistful of nothin' Running from the lawman Running from the lawman Bathe in the electric glow Bucking pinto go Running from the lawman Running from the lawman

Lyrics:

Galloping heart and palms that are wet There's a snake in the eyes and it's making them shift We're surrounded by an empty plain And I brought a shovel for snakes Road to the sun You'll be easier to love after you're gone And then.. then there was one And I was plum full of love cause you were gone Red red wine of mulberry And the high it gave was legendary But when the bottle spilled I got some on my hands But no one cares in the badlands Road to the sun You'll be easier to love after you're gone And then.. then there was one And I was plum full of love cause you were gone Don't you worry bout a thing, baby Don't you worry bout a thing, baby It'll be alright It'll be alright Don't you worry bout a thing, baby Don't you worry bout a thing, baby It'll be alright It'll be alright Road to the sun You'll be easier to love after you're gone And then.. then there was one And I was plum full of love cause you were gone
