In a workin' man's dream. I found my simple truth
There in the dark on the top of my roof As the city's blue sound swept up from down under Heat lightening flashed. Got me to wonder Are the troubles that life has seen fit to give me There to regret or there to remind me I'm real. I'm a real man. For so many years I believed I was broken So medicine sweet and the leaves I was smoking Told me I was strong, righteous and firm But only if I comply and stay in the terms With the deal made between weakness and shame To shelter me from the price of my pain I'm real. I'm a real man , yes I am. And I'll do everything a man possibly can To make a difference I'll save my soul if you give me the chance I'll rectify my dreams if you let me see my way clear As I thank my higher power for all that she'd done I sing to the water towers and to the rising sun For every woman or car crash that ever broke me in two For showing me that there's always a way through And that I'm a real man, yes I am. |

Calling, calling
Father wanted to run away With the circus as a kid Or a teen escape to the priestly way And in a way he almost did Twelve children 'round the supper table Every blessed one is his Chanting ten turns 'round the rosary The holy circus that it is. And me, I'm looking on with elephant's memory At that old elephant in the living room You know the one we try not to see The one who aint gonna be leaving too soon He's calling, he's calling. Mother asked me what I'm grateful for We make up something one by one Father says forgive us sinners lord Staring right at me when he's done Baby sees the elephant like she sees the steam rising off her plate But soon enough she'll fall in line And finally learn to look away I think he's calling, he's calling As the secrecy's keeping the lock on the gate Guarding us in our safe place Watching and waiting for someone to step out of line Enforcing with anti-grace All of you keepers and wanna be sleepers Wake up there's a message so clear I saw the elephant and I looked him in the eye And he begged me not to tell you he's here But he's here. He's here And he's calling, he's calling. |

When you're down and feeling left out
Wondering what this pain is about Here's something mother taught me When I was a child It's passed down from an old generation To let us all in on the new revelation See the light and comfort will be on the way I've got a little faith on the table Find a little hope in the jar There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere And then shake it up. A simple message, simple virtues three But it's not as easy as it looks on TV Mix these with a little bit of sadness And you will find the joy, practice boy. I've got a little faith on the table Find a little hope in the jar There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere And then shake it up. And with your honesty and your open mind Find the willingness of a child It helps a lot when I don't act like a loser But I know mama these lyrics gonna confuse ya It's like a sudsy train raging through my one track mind. I've got a little faith on the table Find a little hope in the jar There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere And then shake it up. Got to shake it up. |

This aint no holiday
Oh no this aint no vacation This is your chance to pay The great casino foundation. Jasmine had a little time on her hands Time enough to vent some frustration A single mother and with all the demands Easy money was the temptation That's how it started. Midnight it's out the back door into her Jeep Over the mountains to Reno Meanwhile her eight year old is still fast asleep It's video poker and Keno There she'll tell me some lies There she'll make some more promises A gamblers glaze in her eyes Time to break some more promises Goodbye. Jasmine and company at table 13 A great big man who hauls lumber Fixed income granny and a chain smoking queen All waiting for the same number Where the sun never shines And there are no more clocks on the wall The only way to tell time Is when the men come and say it's time Goodbye Jasmine's conscience is hot on her trail Or was it a big sugar daddy It's sink the Jeep and put the house up for sale Or it's Las Vegas Nevad-y No this aint no vacation. |

Arise and start. We had our orders then
Carry this message through And through the days. Of barren passages The message reached the land Another day another dollar Another footprint in the sand Another drop of rain to swallow Another bird set from my hand She cries and sings. Of all the good things Of a promised land She cries and sings Without our faith. It's mere coincidence It's just a hungry bird of prey But in her eyes. And in her confidence A thousand generations say Another day another dollar Another footprint in the sand Another drop of rain to swallow Another bird set from my hand She cries and sings. Of all the good things Like the good of man She cries and sings |

You drive me crazy
So late at night You hide your face from me In the morning there's a phone call Got me going It's your old man on the line. Well I ain't talking 'bout the dress you're wearing Ain't talking 'bout the thing in your hair Ain't talking 'bout the kooch your daring Ain't talking 'bout the love your sharing I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me It's a waste of time I don't even have to fight Here all by myself Just waiting for you to pass by And the things you're talking 'bout are crazy You know Ain't talking 'bout your breasts or thighs Ain't talking 'bout that look in your eyes Ain't talking 'bout your big shoe size Ain't talking what you do to other guys I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me. And like any other guy I've got sex on the brain. But it's a bit more complicated. There's a way that you show me a sign Something else gets elevated. yeah - yeah Ain't talking 'bout the dress you're wearing Ain't talking 'bout the thing in your hair Ain't talking 'bout the way you're so daring Ain't talking 'bout the love you're sharing I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me. |

Does Satan wear a suit and tie
Or does he work at the Dairy Queen Does he listen to rock and roll Does he feed the mean Singing Hallelujah What about Jesus Didn't he do it too? Hang out with prostitutes And have a drink or two. Power of example My mama said it and I heard She says one ounce of action Beats a ton of words. Singing Hallelujah. Mama said there would be angels Mama said there would be sun Is the devil in Elvis to go where no white man went Or hiding in Hugh Hefner's body or maybe even Larry Flynt. Say, how's about the President shielding all them stones Man if I could find a shield like that I'd run 'round naked In my glass home. Sippin' Hallelujah I think my angel's gone to Vegas Sippin' Hallelujah Holding aces in her hand. Hallelujah As she's singing rock of ages. Hallelujah On the table at the Sands. Hallelujah Does Satan wear a suit and tie or Does he work at the Dairy Queen. Does he listen to rock and roll Does he feed the mean Streak in all of us. All us saints here on earth Hypnotized and over-advertised 'Til we're numb at birth Singing Hallelujah And my angel's turning pages Singing Hallelujah And she just don't understand. Hallelujah That the devil's hot on her trail. Hallelujah On the road to broken promised land. Hallelujah On the TV and the radio. Hallelujah Good and evil look the same to you |

I've been stemmin' for change and singing in these streets now
Long as I care to recall The dank little loung room in the Roosevelt hotel My idea of a holiday Every once in a while A little old light shines through my tunnel So I follow it like a moth flies to the flame. And just when I think I got my world by the balls I find I'm dancin' in the light again Dancing in the light Of a speeding freight train Singing it's hard Living in the free world Getting saved by the bell People find my company To be strange as hell Looking back on aspirations and dreams My father he had in mind for me Moon lights the tracks and broken glass as I recall Those plans I left so far behind And I know it's better off he never saw me this way He always told me don???t let the devil have his due And I know my father would turn over in his grave To see me hog tied to the chain Or dancing in the light Of a speeding freight train Singing it's hard Living in the free world Getting saved by the bell People find my company To be strange as hell And its only getting harder in this free world With all this strugglin g and strain People find my sweet peace of mind In the pouring rain As the storm moves in ain't no friends to be found So I sit ???neath this dream and bridge for a while And it seems that my mind is in pieces on the ground Singing it's hard Living in the free world Getting saved by the bell Mostly find my Jesus In the pouring rain I'm living in the free world |

Take it like a man they said
Take your medicine Find a golden road and stand Then I saw exactly what they meant. Find my homeboys on the dusky road Who couldn't give a should about their life Heed their words of faded brown Then live it and sing about their strife. Then bring your song to the river at sunrise Sing that song 'til the river runs clean It will happen to you As its happened to me Won't you sing that lovely song for me It's alright mama Let your children be loud Watch them run into trouble So they can figure it out We spread our seeds far 'cross this land Hoping they'd fall on good ground. A vaccination in the sun and rain shine And take a good long hard look around. Then bring your song to the river at sunrise Sing that song 'til the river runs clean It will happen to you As its happened to me Come clean with me It's alright mama Let your children be loud Watch them run into trouble 'Cause trouble's their medicine Mama take your medicine. |
