Sirens ring, the shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to act

Chorus:
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me

She knows just what I like
The angel on my bike
She found me down on a two ton anchor
Tangled up in wire
She always gets it right
The angel on my bike
I could be killed if the train goes faster
Well angel watch my life

Feels like a ghost here in this room
Not the kind that rides a saddle in a costume
All around me, all around you
In from the window for a drag of your perfume

Let's move back to California
Let's make a promise, baby
Let's both be there

So sad that you took it so badly
And acted so madly
So scared
like a baby by the morning
with sunlight unfolding
Your eyes have turned red
And are holding me
inside your story

Once upon a time
They called me the bleeder
Well swimmin' up this river
With sentimental fever
But this ain't my first ride
It ain't my last try
Just got to keep a-movin' on
If they catch me ever

How soft a whisper can get
When you're walking through a crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you

How long an hour can take
When you're staring into open space

You were born on your feet
With the stem of a rose between your teeth
From a cloud of golden air
Where the sky meets the city streets
You were already wise
To a world that's bitter as it's sweet
With both kinds of magic
And God never gets his sleep

Cherry picking through the stars
And falling cannonballs
Waiting for the break of dawn
To start its morning crawl
Polluted rays of filtered light
Tropical and warm
Making shadows through
The snow white resin covered skulls

Well, there is trouble in my mind
There is dark
There's dark, and there is light.
I lay our hands over my eyes
As I look deep
Through valleys deep and wide
Across the border line
For the Empire in My Mind

Now on your mark
Get set, let's go
You got to move now before she explodes
Look out the window and out below
Back away from the glass
There she blows

The city's been levelled

I’m not looking
For a warm embrace
I’m not looking
For a friendly face
I’ve got
Everything I need
I’m not worried
If you’re coming back

Words and Music by Jakob Dylan

We took 'em high, we took 'em straight up the hill,
They wanted it all, we gave 'em such a fill.
In their parades we stole every thrill
And in their games we made every kill.

We took them hard, we took them up against the wall.

Fire on the porch on a summer's night
All of my things are there inside
Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher
I smell leaves and burning tires
Dogs in the meadows barking wild
Blackbird rise up, tell me what have you done

I'm not drunk and I'm not sad

Senorita
Looks like you ain't done nothing good
When it ain't supposed to do
Oh no no no no
I seen her downtown
'Bout an hour ago
Behind the glass at a peep show
I got nervous 'cause I don't know

Seems like the world's gone underground
No gods or heroes dare to go down
Teardrops from a hole in heaven come
Overhead like ravens dropping down like bombs

Through the mornings silver frosted glow
God says nothing back but I told you so
I told you so

Whatever I know too much
You won't be anyone
Now tell me what you are thinking of
How could think you'd be enough
It's not that you've stayed too long
It's not that you've done something wrong
It's not your fault
But you embarrass yourself

Maybe it’s not
That I don’t care anymore
Maybe I just never did
You can’t say
That I have ever lied
Because I keep the truth well hid
Tell me what’s wrong
Is something wrong?

You talk so loud, you talk so much and you talk so funny
But honey, what are you talkin' about
Something 'bout being, being reimbursed
For every unregistered virus

Drainpipes are filled up with dirty rain
And the leisure train is speeding in the diamond lane
With electricity shut off again

You'd have a wonderful day
If you could see how lucky you are
Now don't get carried away with your heart
You're better where you are

You're not the only one
Who's failed to hang on to a moving star
Now don't be sorry, what's done now is done

Slow down
You're breaking up
Use your words
Don't yell so much
I don't understand a word
That you're saying
Now move in
Come up close

I'm here by my window
I am waiting for your parade
I will salute you
From above the crowd
As you make your way
You won the battle baby
You've won the war
I admit it now

started a joke. Which started the whole world crying.
But I didn't see that the joke was on me.
Oh, no, I started to cry. Which started the whole world laughing.
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies. Running my hands over my eyes.
And I fell out of bed. Hurting my heads from things that I said.

Say when you're alone
It's better 'cause nobody knows you
When no one's your friend
It's better 'cause nobody leaves you
So you turned your back
On a world that you could never have
'Cause your heart's been cracked
And everyone else's is goin' mad

I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear,
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game,

I could break free from the
wood of a coffin
if I need
But nothin's hard as
Gettin' free from places
I've already been

I've been waste-deep

Lookin' back at the crash site
I don't see me by the roadside
Well this heart is on wheels tonight
Straight through the ghettos
And without lights
Now every heart has a blind side
Where it learns how to improvise
Well this place is a whorehouse tonight

I feel pretty good, I feel all right
And I've been thinkin' maybe, I could spend the night
I know you've been sad, I know I've been bad
But if you'd let me make you ribbons from a paper bag

Josephine, you're so good to me
And I know it ain't easy
Josephine, you're so sweet

Man, you oughta finish what you've started
You can't leave me here alive
Well I know it started as a fist fight
But you've got me covered up in hives

I don't need an invitation
The best peach is at the top of that tree
But when all this indecision reigns

Now coming down
Out of this swandive to your arms
I make no sounds
Wheni move thru your reservoirs
I wake up quick
I wake up sick
As you abandon me
Into these fields of rank and file

Mama don't 'you send me no love this month
'cause my heart is all used up
And mama I want to come home
I want to get back home

So look out into the morning rain
'cause I'm on the mourning train

It's not the shadow of a lost plane
Or the rumble of a railway line
It's coming with the strength of an iron horse
And without you on its mind
Now, I've been sitting on the fire escape of the
Fairmont looking down
There's not a bridge going anywhere
That you'd wanna be found

Never thought that I knew too much
I always thought I knew enough
I didn't want to learn this stuff
I didn't ever want to be that tough
But love was just implied
And everything else died
This class has now begun
In murder 101

Last night I dreamt one thousand lies
I could see the dawn through a different set of eyes
There in my slumber passing time
Long live the world resting on its side

I walked the orchard with you
Your hand in mine
In the evergreens drinking wine

Um Farol

Há tanto tempo, eu nem me lembro quando
Foi quando eles me disseram que perdi minha única amiga
Disseram que ela morreu por uma doença de coração partido
Ou foi o que ouvi entre as árvores do cemitério

Eu vi o sol surgir sobre o funeral ao amanhecer

You're such a heavy bird
You'd never get far on your own
You'll never have a use for your feathers
While you're hopping down the road
Yeah, you were born to walk the earth
Yeah, with your back against the cold
And no you never had a purpose
'Til I wore you on my back like a coat

I'm looking up
At the moving clouds
I've been hit so hard
This time
I just might stay down
If you were me
I would come back
To get you

Maybe I could be the one they adore
That could be my reputation
It's where I'm from that lets them think I'm a whore
I'm an educated virgin

Sleepwalker, don't be shy
Now don't open your eyes tonight
You'll be the one that defends my life

We didn't make it
We did not pull through
You shouldn't blame me
I don't blame you
Now what else did you think
That I would do?
Ooooh as if it wasn't hard enough

Tomorrow is gonna make you cry
It's gonna to make you kneel
Before it breaks you from inside
Still pressing on
Arm over arm
Still trying to get both feet back onto the ground
They are harvesting these fields in autumn.
We're different now than when we started

The men were drinking wine and the women they'd split
To smoke French cigarettes
We'll do a couple rails and sit around and bitch
Lie down and get sick
Oh, in the morning there's a line of ashes in the sink
And bruises on her lips
The candles that were lit had melted on the cake
As if they were over it

Once in a while you still come around
You look me over and you look me down
It's just you and that
That lazy barback and your favorite little clown
You're a long walk from Avenue A
You're a train ride out of your way
You slip in like smoke, out of your coat
With a joke that doesn't play

Alone tonight in somebody's bed
She gone and dyed her hair red
She only went and did what she did
'Cause he would drive her home then
There's lipstick on her new dress
She hadn't even paid yet
But it doesn't matter where the money went
It wasn't how she paid her rent

Takes all my might
To find a hole that feels right
To bury myself
In a deep sleep at night
I hear a voice
Coming from the hillside
Says I'll show you the way
I will show you the light

Well I'm down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill
Well I thank heavens I fell
Must look more
like myself
Now everyone is so kind
Everyone looks like
a long lost friend of mine

I need a bed that nobody's slept in.
I need some air nobody's been breathin'.
I need a thought that I can believe in.
Is this fog or is the building really burnin'?
I need you now, much more than ever.
I'm making new friends but none of them matter.
Maybe now we don't fit together.

I'm in the city got two jobs at once
I got the kind of things that only come
From working like the devil 'til the sun comes up
Oh, I got your back and I got your front
I take a city bus and then a train
Walk three miles uphill both ways
Now when I get home don't wanna complain
But tell me who's that man walking 'round my garden

I'm standing outside your window, baby
And there you are
Another year, another candle's burning
For the party girl
No one even knows that you're there
Happy Birthday, no one cares

You come around here,

First sign of trouble you take to the woods
With your slippers and your hair pulled under your hood
You won't look behind you you'll just know that you should
Be ready for climbing like you never thought you could
Looking for cover like you've never had to
Knowing it gets worse before it ever gets good
'Cause something's wrong and something is near
It slowly advances and has us surrounded here
