Deep in Your Bones
05:24
|

I didn't want to fall in love, but I did, what more can I do?
But sit around til I get old enough and I admit I can be with you
You see the truth is harder than a lie sometimes, cause its weight, it'll crush you like a stone
So you keep your head buried underground, let it simmer, deep in your bones
Deep in Your Bones.

As I walk I realize that freedom is a state of mind
I'm trying to stay wet, I'm trying to keep dry, trying to find God
Trying to stay high, high, high
Freedom is a state of mind
Oh do you ever stop to watch the lines?
You see all them scrowlers go scrowling by, they got their chins tucked tight into a bottle of beer
And their faces all melted into a permanent sneer
Freedom is a state of mind

Modern Gods
03:47
|

If I look into your crystal ball can I break the glass and see it all?
And sing modern songs, so different from the rest
If I chew the fat until its soft could I meet the gods on the mountain top?
And sing modern songs, the ones that sing themselves
Yeah, I'd sing modern songs, so different from the rest
Modern Gods and modern names, modern talk and modern games
Don't think much, just stand in line, much too brash for life in modern times
If I wore a suit lined with gold and jewels could I be the man who makes all the rules?
And sings modern songs, so different from the rest
Yeah I'd sing modern songs, the ones that sings themselves
Modern talk and modern minds, modern fools in modern times
Don't think much just stand in line, much too brash for life in modern times

A Cold Sun
02:47
|
|||
Chickens on a pad, church bells outside
oh what it means on Chicago Friday night
A Cold Sun won't shine
I can't tell a story if I can't find my brain
Cause fortune and glory can't be sustained
And I yearn for love, but I wallow in lust
The humor can't guide me back, I may as well fall out love
A Cold Sun won't shine
You probably don't realize you tore me apart
That's okay my friend, you've got to follow, you got to follow
you got to follow your own heart
A Cold Sun won't shine.

One Foot Left

Oh I can't complain, when the grass is greener I feel no pain
But oh, on the other hand, I can't let go, it's all I know
Feed me, feed me motion, gimme fortune, a solid payday
This sidewalk, feeling like a stray dog, I'm sick about leaving Ivy,
But I gotta get paid
Graffiti on the back of a matchbook, we found it in the alley
Oh One Foot Left
Look into the eyes of a long long friend, written on the wall of a bathroom stall
Oh, let me go
Old shadow I said no more follow me, sneaking you around, feeding you with sound, keeping you stashed away
Spending my nights hiding from the light, sing a few songs, have a couple beers, make a little money, see a bit of country, revel in my youth and do it all again
Graffiti on the back of a matchbook, we found it in the alley
Oh One Foot Left
Look into the eyes of a long long friend, written on the wall of a bathroom stall
Oh, let me go

Common and Line
04:02
|

Oh there's a mother and daughter who'll take you town
You place an ad in the paper when you want to get down
And it's a cold, dark night in Shreveport and
we've got no other place to go
But now's the time to change your mind,
you cannot leave once you get through the door
Oh I'll keep that a secret just promise me you'll do the same
There's shell of a building on Common and Line
You knock twice on the doorjam and ask the man for the time
You see this man he's a salesman, he's got the trick up his sleeve
and for a hundred an hour he gonna make you believe
That you're the king of your castle, the ruler of all,
but what he won't tell you
You've got a long, long way to fall
It's a cold, dark night in Shreveport and we've got no other place to go
But now's the time to change your mind,
you cannot leave once you get the through the door
Oh I'll keep that a secret just promise me you'll do the same.

Name of the Game
04:37
|

To all you ne'er-do-wells and hopeful dreamers too
Standing in the shadows, with your owl tattoos
Cigarettes dangling like they're a part of you
I really think you're sexy, but I'm still judging you
I'm walking dogs for money and picking up all their shit
I used to think it was funny, but it's not over yet
And all you wild eyed hustlers and you street wise mothers
I'm apart of you too, because I've seen you suffer
That's the Name of the Game
The Name of the Game
I walk around all day, looking at trash and stuff
Thinking to myself, oh, I've had enough
So I bought a poem for a dollar from some black dude on the street
He said read it aloud, I feel so proud, can you buy me something to eat
That's the Name of the Game
The Name of the Game
I don't want to lay down no more
I don't want to lay down no more
Lay down no more, lay down no more, lay down no more.

Wilderness
03:21
|

Wilderness calls me out, back into the jungle, in a tangle of vine
Draw me a line, straight and true, I follow it out, back to you
As long as it leads me, back to you
Now meet me in the valley, where the water is still
Meet me in the valley, when I'm called by wilderness
Wilderness
Takes all kinds, to make this world
You got to be kind, kind in your mind
So gather strength, where I can, I find it in the cracks, the crevices
The warmth of your hand
As long as it leads me back to you
Can you meet me in the valley, where our thoughts'll be still
And I can walk with you
Keep on walking through
I'll see you in that valley, free of the nights in wilderness
Wilderness.
