- Bar Stool
Old man on a barstool watching TV
Got up and came over to sit closer to me
He said "You look familiar to someone I knew
But when were your age we were older than you
Jimmy was twenty and I seventeen
And to us there was nothing but girls and machines
Jimmy got married and I went to war
I still don't know what we were doing it for

- Beautiful
Lazy, and is it any wonder
With all the heavenly influences to be under?
We know all about it, the waiting in line
Maybe this time it could be beautiful
Baby, why are you still shaking
With vitamins, saccharin, and methadone ready for the taking?
I saw you in the hothouse turning water into wine
- Bluefish
take care
she will fall on you like winter
you don't hear a thing but the beating of wings
as the lights go out
there you are
standing in the doorway
with a cigarette
- Broke Window
Loaded tongue and dirty fingers
Queen of her mother's house
Come step outside feeling full moon high
Let's see what we can live without
Fix an eye to the dimestore villain
Waiting for the wine to pour
It comes strong and thin and it tastes like sin
- Falling Awake
Eagle in the dark
Feathers in the pages.
Monkeys in my heart
Are rattling their cages.
Found a way to blue
And another ghost to follow
Said "it's only up to you"
- Ghosts
Running along the rocks of the river
And the water's as cold as the snow
The man is chasing behind me
And I can't afford to falter or slow
I find solace in what we believe
Or the hush of a cool gentle rain
But there's something we love in the mystery
Of a man in the midst of a change
- Gone Daddy
Woke last night in the middle of a combat zone
Helicopters hovering over my home
My baby boy is sleeping in the other room
And ooh my soul
Born into the bullshit baby, you and me
But it don’t have to be our legacy
There must be someplace better we can raise a family
Oh ooh my soul
- Greetings from the side
Keep up conversation
Pick up catch phrase
Lay it down
On the freaky side of town
Don't let me seem so
Don't let me wander too far
Don't let me take too much
I didn't need anything from you
- Invisible
Made my decision
To just stay awake.
To hear my own confessions.
Forgive my own mistakes.
Do you know my name?
You don't recognize me.
Do you know my name?
- It's a very very mad world.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places – worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere – going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression – no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow – no tomorrow
- Jeremiah Weed
Poor Jeremiah, his body is broken
Lying in the alley where he fell
His head is racing home to the heel of California
Poor Jeremiah Weed
He's got his friends and he's got his devices
He's got no need for you
No need for sympathy, no need for suprises
- Mad Word
All around are familiar faces
Worn out places worn out places
Rising early for the daily races
Going nowhere going nowhere
The children filling up their classes
No expression no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow no tomorrow
- No Poetry
"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen
Something's burning in the attic
That her tongue will not defend
Through the arc of conversation
Past the teeth behind the smile
Down the miracle mile
To the bottom of the ladder
- Nothing
There was no fortune to be made here.
It's just a town like any other town.
Sure there must be good things left to say.
Can't think of one so, I won't say.
Nothing wears a pretty face in armor.
She got, shine at the surface, coal below
Nothing, please don't tell me, I...
- One Little Light
No friends, no neighbors
No amateur soul savers
Just a little light in the sky
No meteor, no moon
No cotton, no spoon
Just a little light in the sky
Jupiter, catch me dancing
You could sing a song for me
- Owen Down
Baby, I would smash your pretty face
Just to make you feel wanted
Take you by the long white throat to show
How much I care
Guitar on my bed
Where your body's supposed to be
If I could turn you inside-out,
- Pills
I've taken all my pills
But I'm still not sleepy
Tried to trick myself into thinking
That I'm not awake
That it's only a dream
Put that cigarette out
Don't ask me no questions
Salome dancing on my wall
- Push
Don't you know nobody lives here
By choice anymore
Don't you know no one rides for free
Don't you know there's nothing
That's just pretty like before
Or so you keep telling me
The ocean ain't breaking
- Road Song Blues
Feet on the dashboard
Head on the window
Moon on a desert tree
I will, I will
I will stand in your light again
Heard me a memory
Out on the avenue
Where people get
- Serpent - In - Claw
Breathing,
Making your way through the opening
Corduroy princes and pretty things
Quietly turning away
Leaning
Into the arms of your city life
Glorious stars in a shitty sky
Glimmer in perfect decay
- Something Else
They never tell you truth is subjective
They only tell you not to lie
They never tell you there's strength in vulnerability
They only tell you not to cry
But I've been living underground
Sleeping on the way
And finding something else to say
Is like walking on the freeway
- St. Christopher's Lullabye
Leave your trophies and your golden wings
There by the door of my room
I don't need to know where you've been
Or where we're going to
Uou don't need to be funny for me
Don't have to always be strong
You don't need to try to be beautiful
Beauty was yours all along
- The Devil Keeps Grinning
Ooh ooh it’s a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he’s winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now
Ooh ooh it’s a funny old life
- Whiskey For Everybody
From the air the fields over Dublin
Look like a watercolor
When the streets rise up to meet the plane
Nobody notices
That I miss your face
More than anything in the world
I miss your face
More than anything in the world
- Wichita
Buffalo are out among the falling stars tonight
Shadows cross the kitchen in the afternoon
Daylight break on the hemisphere
I jumped in the water
You left too soon
Blood red sun, moon on the water
Everything is frozen north of Wichita
And the rails bear a dangerous cargo there
