Well it's hotter 'n blazes And all the long faces There'll be no oasis For a dry local grazier There'll be no refreshment For a thirsty jackaroo From Melbourne to Adelaide On the overlander With newfangled buffet cars And faster locomotives The train stopped In serviceton Less and less often There's nothing sadder Than a town with no cheer Voc rail decided the canteen Was no longer necessary there No spirits No bilgewater And 80 dry locals And the high noon sun Beats a hundred and four There's a hummingbird Trapped in a closed Down shoe store This tiny victorian rhubarb Kept the watering hole open For sixty five years Now it's boilin' In a miserable march 21 st Wrapped the hills in a blanket Of patterson's curse The train smokes Down the xylophone There'll be no stopping here All ya can be is thirsty n a town with no cheer No bourbon no branchwater Though the townspeople here Fought her vic rail Decree tooth and nail Now it's boilin' In a miserable march 21 st Wrapped the hills In a blanket of patterson's curse The train smokes Down the xylophone There'll be no stopping here All ya can be is thirsty In a town with no cheer |

I have come 500 miles Just to see a halo Come from St Petersburg Scarlett and me Well I open my eyes I was blind as can be When you give a man luck He must fall in the sea And she wants you To steal and get caught For she loves you For all that you are not Falling down falling down Falling down falling down You forget all the roses Don't come around on Sunday She's not gonna choose you For standing so tall Go on and take a swig Of that poison and like it And don't ask For silverware Don't ask for nothing Go on and put your ear To the ground you will be Hearing that sound Falling down falling down Falling down falling down Go on down and see That wrecking ball Come swinging on along Everyone knew That hotel was a goner They broke all the windows They took all the door knobs And they hauled it away In a couple of days Now someone yell timber And take off your hat It's a lot smaller down Here on the ground Falling down falling down Falling down falling down |

My head Is spinning round My heart Is in my shoes yeah I went and set The Thames on fire Oh now I must come back down She's laughing In her sleeve boys I can feel it in my bones Oh but anywhere anywhere I'm gonna lay my head I'm gonna call my home Well I see that the world Is upside down Seems that my pockets Were filled up with gold And now the clouds Well they've covered over And the wind is blowing cold Well I don't need anybody Because I learned to be alone anywhere anywhere I'm gonna lay my head I'm gonna call my home |

There's a crooked street In Houston town It's a well born path I've traveled down Now there's ruin in my name I wish I never got off the train and I wished I'd listened To the words you said Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street You'll be lost and never found You can never turn around Don't go down to Fannin Street Once I held you in my arms I was sure But I took that silent stare Through the guilded door The desire to have much more All the glitter and the roar and I know this is where The sidewalk ends Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street You'll be lost and never found You can never turn around Don't go down to Fannin Street When I was young I thought only of getting out I said goodbye to my street Goodbye to my house Give a man gin give a man cards Give an inch he takes a yard And I rue the day That I stepped off this train Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street Don't go down to Fannin Street You'll be lost and never found You can never turn around Don't go down to Fannin Street |

Do you remember
How we've fallen asleep on the bathroom floor Wasn't always pretty, on the white tiles Cold as the sound as your daddies house The wake abandon Smoke out the window flows from your daddies house You're enlightening Small hands of a women, with an animal barn You know...you know Broke my prop for a minute This blankets in the moment In your daddies house [A beat playing over Johansson, saying random words] |

Lay your head Where my heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down in the green grass Remember when you loved me Come closer don't be shy Stand beneath a rainy sky The moon is over the rise Think of me as a train goes by Clear the thistles And brambles Whistle Didn't He Ramble Now there's a bubble of me And it's floating in thee Stand in the shade of me Things are now made of me The weather vane will say It smells like rain today God took the stars And he tossed em Can't tell the birds From the blossoms You'll never be free of me He'll make a tree from me Don't say good bye to me Describe the sky to me And if the sky falls Mark my words We'll catch mocking birds Lay your head Where my heart used to be Hold the earth above me Lay down in the green grass Remember when you loved me |

Well, I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams
Arm in arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me Hoist up a few tall cool ones, play some pool and listen To that tenor saxophone calling me home And I can hear the band begin when The Saints go marching in By the whiskers on my chin, New Orleans I'll be there I'll drink you under the table, be red nose, go for walks The old haunts what I wants is red beans and rice And wear the dress I like so well, meet me at the old saloon Make sure there's a Dixie Moon, New Orleans I'll be there And deal the cards, roll the dice, if it ain't that ole Chuck E. Weiss And Clayborn avenue me and you, Sam Jones and all And I wish I was in New Orleans, I can see it in my dreams Arm in arm down Burgundy, a bottle and my friends and me New Orleans I'll be there |

When I'm lyin in my bed at night I don't wanna grow up Nothin' ever seems To turn out right I don't wanna grow up How do you move in a world of fog That's always changing things Makes me wish that I could be a dog When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna gow up I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up Seems like folks turn into things That they'd never want The only thing to live for is today I'm gonna put a hole in my T V set I don't wanna grow up Open up the medicine chest And I don't wanna grow up I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't wanna my hery for out I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a good boy scout I don't wannt have to learn to count I don't wanna have the biggest amount I don't wanna grow up Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up They all go out and drinking all night And I don't wanna grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothin' out there but sad and gloom I don't wanna live in a big old tomb On Grand Street When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Stay around in my old hometown I don't wanna put no money down I don't wanna get me a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't wanna float a broom Fall in love and get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon I don't wanna grow up |

Hell above and Heaven below All the trees are gone The rain made Such a lovely sound To those who are Six feet under ground The leaves Will bury every year And no one knows I'm gone Live me golden tell me dark Hide from Graveyard John The moon is full here every night And I can bathe here in his light The leaves will bury every year And no one knows I'm gone |

They're lining up To mad dog your tilta whirl 3 shots for a dollar Win a real live doll All the lies that you tell I believed them so well Take them back Take them back To your red house For that fearful leap Into the dark I did my time In the jail of your arms Now Ophelia wants to know Where she should turn Tell me What did you do What did you Do the last time Why don't you do that Go on ahead And take this the wrong way Time's not your friend Do you cry Do you pray Do you wish them away Do you still leave nothing But bones in the way Did you bury the carnival Lions and all Excuse me while I sharpen my nails And just Who are you Who are you this time You look rather tired Are you pretending to love Well I hear that it pays well How do your pistol And your Bible and your Sleeping pills go Are you still Jumping out of windows In expensive clothes Well I fell in love With your sailor's mouth And your wounded eyes You better get down on the floor Don't you know this is war Tell me who are you this time Tell me who are you this time |
