- A Wonderful Life
Most of this life's been a drag of a high
And lows like a blow in a paid thrown title fight
Most of my sins were born in a kiss on a night like this
Calling all lonely hearts
Don't you want a life like we saw on the picture show?
So come on give me something, come on keep me up all night
You say, my baby, all this time in between drives me crazy
- Bring It On
My queen of the Bronx
Blue eyes and spitfire
I saw you walking back and forth
About another boy
Thinking that you may want to leave
So give me the fevers that just won't break
And give me the children you don't want to raise
- Drive
in my head
i am already gone
side roads pointed up
decisions decided on
but in my nights
there are restless hours
3 am goes down
- Here Comes
And how much time do you think that we have?
If I wanted to I could start over again,
let the good night decide who she wants me to find
And I'll never let you drop another tear in my eye
Singing oh sha-la-la-la, oh sha-la-la-la,
listen honey here comes my man
Singing oh sha-la-la-la, oh sha-la-la-la,
- Low love
You don't wanna fall in love with me
I will tear you apart, I will break you and haunt you and leave
Im out of the car, step back on tho the street
Let me go, I am ghost, make me leave it was all just a dream
Are you fool enough to think I can be saved
Are you fool enough to stay
- nobody wins
Skin and bones, you never did come home,
Crashing on my heart through the telephone,
I remember the tall grass waving,
In past lives, old poems.
I must have lived a lifetime without you,
You must’ve ended up somebody’s angel,
I remember you loving the radio.
- Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time, when I was in high school
I was in love with you, lady and you treated me so cool.
I was drivin' a Chevy '72 had 4 on the floor, girl,
one hundred 20 it would do
I remember Marvin Gaye, singin',
What's goin' on
- see you on the other side
All my life I've been a slave to a pardon
My eyes transfixed somewhere far over the Jordan
And all my years I've wanted someone to die for
So I had a reason I burned
But I've never been where you were born
Or felt the things that broke your heart
Come talk to me
- The Blues, Mary
I learned how to hammer in the burning August sun
Learned how to lie and cheat
How to steal and just how to run
I fell asleep most nights with somebody else's blood on my tongue, your tongue
You learned just how to run
But it’s just the blues, Mary, the blues
Swirling around my head like the dreams in Dorothy’s shoes
- The Navesink Banks
"all hope abandon, ye who enter here"
said the sign i read that was hanging above her bed
and the sirens over wailing
but a man cant ignore the signs
you gotta keep a good eye
on the winding road ahead
and my first sin was a young american girl
