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:

So lately I’ve been talking to my mother, I told her I don't want to be alone She said son don't worry, This loneliness comes and it will go I'm sick of people trying to tell me, Just save your money, spend it when you’re old Because I just want to go surfing , And let this life of mine unfold So I drink wine by the ocean, I take my love to the seas This loneliness and emotion, No they wont come with me And I don’t want much money, To live this simple life I don’t want to grow old, And wait until I die So I tell my mother that i love her, And all shes done for me Thank her for this friendship, this happiness and everything in between So hold your head up boy Don’t let them see you cry Keep dreaming and its okay Just keep that fire inside you (x3) So Lately I've been talking to my Mother I told her i don't want to be alone

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:

I run out of lives I run out of new moons Roadrunner Pray pray I said a prayer twice For both my faces It's a flip of the coin Silver dollar Lord knows I tried Lord knows I tried Found every rut and hole But we sure did fly 78 Firebird The watchman watchman knows He stands there and waits Up on concrete hill And I will Lord knows I tried I tried Lord knows I tried I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry Lord I did try I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But the Lord knows I tried I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry Lord I did try I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But the Lord knows I tried Oooh Lord knows I tried Lord knows I tried

Lyrics:

You said you had to leave You said you're tired of these streets So go and find some time alone You know I'll miss you when you're gone So when you wash the days away, find beauty in this place There's love beneath your feet, Flowers in your soul And a place for you to grow And all the sundays in the past, I knew they wouldn’t last We were dancing on the street, you were holding onto me Those days they felt so fast But it's been good to see your face, I wish that you could stay I wish that I could love you any other way Another time another place But you're so far away dear You're so far from here Oh you're so far away dear You're so far from here Oh you're a million miles away, with nothing left to say The days are getting cold and I thought of you again I hope that you're okay You have the sweetest eyes I know, those hands I used to hold I'm crying on the phone and all I want to know Is when you're coming home Oh you're so far away dear You're so far from here Oh you're so far away dear You're so far from here And all that I can do, is dream of you And all that I can do, is dream of you

Lyrics:

Dark, baby, I got darkened days, sugar Cry, baby, it's a crying shame, sugar I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do Tooth for tooth and eye for eye It's stranger you can love a stranger but not a friend Low, baby, you hit me low with nothing, sugar I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do Time will take care of me And time will take care of you Tooth for tooth and eye for eye I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do I I got the baddest mood I I I got the baddest mood Cause I I just do

Lyrics:

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get a feeling That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads

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:

On the road again I just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again On the road again Goin' places that I've never been Seein' things that I may never see again And I can't wait to get on the road again Here we go, on the road again Like a band of Gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turnin' our way And our way is on the road again I just can't wait to get on the road again The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again, break free And I can't wait to get on the road again

Lyrics:

And we don’t even care To shake these zipper blues And we don’t know Just where our bones will rest To dust, I guess Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Lyrics:

When stars are falling It's nothing new Just keep on going I've got them too Wicked miles Sinking boats We keep fighting We fight them both Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me When doors are open Not for you You keep hoping To get that tune With same stories Single notes We will cry them Cry them both Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me Just lean on me

Lyrics:

Run Run Run Waking up is the hardest thing when the candles burning out And the sleepless nights are catching up to you Grab your bags and your coffee cup when your not coming home The city lights illuminate the snow Rush Rush Rush get on the bus and your gone Run run run the taxi’s blowing their horns We ll find a way to make it through the day Boss is angry cause im moving slow punch the clock and its time to go Im the first one here last one to leave Need a vacation away in the sun all I wanna do is run run run But I cant find the time to get away Rush Rush Rush get on the bus and your gone Run run run the taxi’s blowing their horns We ll find a way to make it through the day

Lyrics:

Well it was a time of consternation, ain’t nowhere to run ain’t nowhere to hide, no consolation They say that Man is prodigal son who spends their years in darkness and strife til days are done. Tell old pharaoh, way down in Egypt’s land Make my people bound for promised sand. The field’s are burnin’, the flames rise higher The devil’s path is darker than black, so carry the fire. So do what you can, and you might find A brighter year for all of mankind. Tell old pharaoh, way down in Egypt’s land Make my people bound for promised sand.

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:

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:

Sam's an old blues singer / With a checkered history / Twenty minutes in the spotlight / Twenty years in infamy / The decades flew right past and left him drifting through the haze / Now he's heading the road a little ways / To an old familiar story in and old familiar keys / Crooked chords on rusty strings / and a borrowed melody / Its hard to tell the singer from the sad old song he plays / He's heading down the road a little ways / Sam's a little wiser / And longer in the tooth / His candle burned much brighter when he was in his youth / But he'll keep on moving to avoid the undertaker's gaze / He's heading the road a little ways / World is filled with empty bars / And late night caberet's / He's heading down the road a little ways.

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

INSTRUMENTAL

Lyrics:

These arterial rode ways Carry apathy indifferently From horrid day rest ill To its unfeeling extremities In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray As dark Marcus sleeps at night This town dreams in black and white Oh no no A hell filled with vampires Can a wound go unrecognized See the ghost of the death tonight As a freightliner rumbles by In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray In between the rise and falls on an empire Light from the campfire faded away History writes itself on the faces Of people and places With traces of gray

Lyrics:

Ava was the eldest and most sinister indeed motives were self serving and her actions ruled by greed she had a closet full of skeletons just dying to be freed she was poisoned by a feather that she wore up on her hat Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat okay Well Susan was the lazy one she rarely left her bed When asked to do the dishes she might take a nap instead She died peaceful in her slumber so the other sister said So they found her lifeless body lying on the welcome mat Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat okay Well Isabel was burdened with a lustful appetite Driven by desire She kept a different lover nearly every night She was murdered by a drifter out behind the laundromat Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat Ira was an angry woman terribly high strung It didn’t take a lot for her spring to come unsprung Was often short of temper and just as often sharp of tongue Well she gave herself a heart attack can you imagine that Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat okay Jade was often jealous of her sister’s attributes Wasn’t fair they had so many while she had so few She flirted with her sisters to design a 3 piece suit Finally killed her like curiosity killed the cat Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat alright Raven had a hunger that was seldom satisfied Heaven knows she tried to fill the emptiness inside Gorging and devouring till the day she died And they found her doubled over at the table where she sat Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat okay Gloria was the youngest and the fairest of them all Closest friend and lover was the mirror on the wall Till the day it shattered on the floor there in the hall Well she caught her death of loneliness not long after that Song of seven sisters in a single bedroom flat okay

Lyrics:

I've been looking for a way to Put my troubles in the rear view, And maybe catch a clear view Of what's down the line. And the nights are getting colder. I'm looking over my shoulder. And every day I'm getting older, Falling further behind. I'm gonna take the high road. Take it anywhere that I go. It isn't easy, but I'll try, though, To be the best I can be. Gonna take the long way, 'Cause I don't wanna go the wrong way. And at the end of any long day. [Your smile looks sexy to me?] All right! And I've been spending all my free time Getting crooked on cheap wine. I'm looking ragged, but I feel fine. I'm just living the dream. Save your money for the weekend. We'll be going off the deep end. 'Cause everybody's got a reason. For blowing off steam. I'm gonna take the high road. Take it anywhere that I go. It isn't easy, but I'll try, though, To be the best I can be. Gonna take the long way, 'Cause I don't wanna go the wrong way. And at the end of any long day. [Your smile looks sexy to me?] All right! Yeah, I'm all right.

Lyrics:

Well I Woke up this morning with a Head full of poison and a Sneaking suspicion that the End is coming soon. So I Pulled back the curtains and I Looked out the window. Only to discover that my Fears are coming true. Yeah it's true. And we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. And there's nothing we can do about it now. Yeah, we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. Gonna watch it all burn down. Yeah, gonna watch it all burn down. I used to wonder how a Flower lost its petals, but It's a fool who meddles in The dealings of the dead, so I Take medication and turn Off the television. Drown out the voices, yeah, The voices in my head. And we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. And there's nothing we can do about it now. Yeah, we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. Gonna watch it all burn down. Yeah, gonna watch it all burn down. I've got eyes, but I can't see A forest for the trees. And I won't believe it till I See it on TV. I've got ears, but they don't hear. Words don't come in clear. So I'll sit back and watch it all Just disappear. And we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. And there's nothing we can do about it now. Yeah, we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. Gonna watch it all burn down. And we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be. Yeah, we're standing at the end of the world, my friend. Gonna watch it on TV. Standing at the end (at the end of the world) We're gonna watch it on TV
