Friday 13, lights go red, green, in a coffee shop
I'm giving you the look While someone else Is fingering your wallet in my pocketbook It's a mean town but I don't care Try and steal this Can't steal happiness Got a charger, no cell phone, I can't call out Unless it's to cry your name out the open window To a sky that looks right back And says it's never seen rain Sometimes you gotta start clean You gotta begin not begin again, oh no And as we fly around the sun We know we're not the only ones Love for the lonely It's been a long time coming Can you hear that hopeful heart? Night settles, still working on a way to breathe Don't you go, don't you go down Take a helium taxi home to me |

Out in the harbor
The ships come in, it's Christmastime The kids all holler carols 'cross the water Stars that shine All that I want, all that I want Above the rooftops The full moon dips its golden spoon I wait on clip-clops, deer might fly Why not? I met you All that I want, all that I want And when the night is falling Down the sky at midnight Another year is stalling Far away a good bye, good night All that I want., all that I want, all that I want So small a turning The world grows older every day An ache, a yearning Soften when I hear you say All that I want, all that I want And when the cold wind's blowing Snow drifts through the pine trees In houses lights are glowing Likewise in your eyes that find me here With all that I want. Out in the harbor The ships come in, it's Christmastime It's Christmastime It's Christmastime. |

Friday I can't see the use
Get the hell right out of Dodge Slip the traffic like a noose On the trail of some mirage Every time it comes I think my luck will stay Drive all the way To Vegas baby Got no aces up my sleeve Got nowhere to rest my head Got no money sir to lose And the sky is turning red And I change out of my jeans On the road beside the lake Like the skies that I have seen When I have been asleep-awake Take the rain as a sign Get myself dressed to the nines And I will pay for this Somewhere down the line And I'm flying through the heat The Mexicali radio Every car is like a prayer Searching for somewhere to go |

Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone Stars turning high up above You turn me into somebody loved Nights when the heat had gone out We danced together alone Cold turned our breath into clouds We never said what we were dreaming of But you turned me into somebody loved Someday when we're old and worn Like two softened shoes I will wonder on how I was born The night I first ran away from you Now my feet turn the corner back home Sun turns the evening to rose Stars turning high up above You turn me into somebody loved |

It always rained around you
We tried to go inside and it would rain there too It came pouring through the roof when we traveled underground Whiskey, water, and tears 'til I thought that we would drown Jolene, Jolene Is it still raining everywhere you are? We didn't hide from it at all No we just let it fall In the morning she was gone and everything was dry The city streets were crowded and I felt like I would die Now there's sunshine and flowers everywhere And I don't care All of these clouds will disappear Like we were never here But I swear there was a time I thought that it would never stop And now I only think about you if it's raining or it's not |

Can i get up in the moming
Put the kettle on Make us some coffee, say "hey" to the sun... Is it enough to write a song and sing it to the birds? They'd hear just the tune Not understand my love for words But you would hear me and know I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life. I dreamed you first But not so real And everyday since I've found you Such moments we steal Like little thieves, we rub our hands We hold our hearts between them. But will you hear me and know? I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life. Move on, move on Time is accelerating. Drive on all night Traffic lights and one-ways. Move on, move on Parking violations waiting Turn off the car, breathe the air Let's stay here. I'll kiss you awake, and we'll have time To know our neighbors all by name And every star at night. We'll weave our days together like waves And particles of light. I want only this, I want to live I want to live a simple life. |

Dating a porn star, it isn't all roses
She leaves you home on a Saturday night You can go crazy with thoughts and supposes Lose the thin thread between what's wrong and right So Starlight won't you kiss me For I have missed you so Just like the others And all of their brothers I've come to see the show The strip club crowd looks like a sad constellation But I hold your heart like the sky holds the moon I'm cast down outside 'cause they don't allow boyfriends Star won't you tell me you're coming home soon Playing cards with the bouncer to let me back in I hear them announce her and I hear her begin Sometimes I think that I was born to lose My money, my shirt, my socks and my shoes Dating a porn star, it's bad news brother You wonder how long 'til the coming of day And wait by the sparkly curtains of heaven The stars look so pretty from so far away |

Got three dollars burning in my pocket, I know I know
Got three dollars burning in my pocket, I know I know I got, I got, I got to keep it there. Got an old ghost locked in my closet, I know I know Got an old ghost locked in my closet, I know I know I got, I got, I got to keep it there. Came down on a bottle rocket Found my heart right where I locked it Last night like rain on chalk It's gone like money in my pocket. See those stars shining in your eyes and I know I know See those stars shining in your eyes and I know I know I got, I got, I got to keep it there. Came down on a bottle rocket Found my heart right where I locked it Last night like rain on chalk It's gone like money in my pocket. All my troubles in the rear view mirror, I know I know All my troubles in the rear view mirror, I know I know I got, I got, I got to keep them there. |
