스크리밍 트리스와 퀸스 오브 더 스톤 에이지의 멤버로서 록 역사에 큰 발자취를 남겨온 마크 레인건의 2004년도 솔로 앨범. 전 소속사인 서브 팝을 떠난 뒤 베거스 뱅큇과 새로운 계약을 체결해 발표한 첫 번째 작품이기도 하다. 지금껏 밴드 활동 뿐 아니라 솔로로서도 다수의 수작들을 발표해온 그의 개인 역사를 연장이라도 하려는 듯, 높은 수준의 곡들로 꽉 차 있는 본작은 다시 한번 그의 커리어에 중대한 터닝 포인트가 될 것임을 암시하고 있다. 전곡이 뛰어나지만 'When Your Number Isn't Up', 'Wedding Dress', 'One Hundred Days' 등, 초반부만으로도 높은 소장 가치를 일궈내는 수작 음반. 그의 싱어 송라이터적 기질이 극대화된 작품이라 보면 정확하다. .... ....
Did you call for the night porter? You smell the blood running warm I stay close to this frozen border, so close I can hit it with a stone Now something crawls right up my spine That I always got to follow Turn out the lights Don't see me drawn and hollow Just blood running warm No one needs to tell you that There's no use for ya here anymore And where are your friends? They've gone away It's a different world, they left you to this To janitor The emptiness So let's get it on When the sun is finally going down, and you're overdue to follow But you're still above the ground What ya got comin' is hard to swallow Like blood running warm Did they call for the night porter And smell the blood, blood running warm Well I've been waitin' at this frozen border, so close you could hit it with a stone
The dark descends through the promised land Down kingdom come and the acid ban I'm bad alone, burned inside out Nothing to kill it I hit the city In Marianne I dug the hole And watched her trip on my heart of stone And in the end all that crawled, was my skin I couldn't kill it I hit the city I hit the city Ghost arrives at its bitter end To the promised land and the dark descents I'm bad alone, burned inside out Nothing to kill it I hit the city (x5) 1,2,3,4 I hit the city
Would you put on that long white gown and burn like there's no more tomorrows? Will you walk with me underground and forgive all my sicknesses and my sorrows?
Will you be shamed if I shake like I'm dyin' When I fall to my knees and I'm crying?
Will you visit me where my body rests Will you put on that long white dress?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada Ba dadada, da, badadada The end could be soon, we'd better rent a room so you can love me
Will you put on that long white dress while I burn when there's no more tomorrows? Will you remember me through the years I'll miss and forget all the sadnesses and the sorrows?
Ba dadada, da, badadadada dadada Ba dadada, da, badadada
We got married in a fever, now you love me Get a room, so you can love me

When the willow bends towards the end of day And twilight falls again To the funny sound that a blackbird makes Twilight falls again As no good reason remains, I'll do the same Thinking of you One day a ship comes in, one day a ship comes in But I can't say how or when But I know somewhere the ship comes in every day There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping There is no crime to dreams like this And if you could take something with you It would be right Something good From my fingertips, the cigarette throws ashes to the ground I'd stop and talk to the girls who work this street, but I got business farther down Like one long season of rain, I will remain Thinking of you One day a ship comes in From far away a ship comes in One hundred days you wait for it And you know somewhere the ship comes in every day There is no morphine, I'm only sleeping There is no crime to dreams like this And if you could take something with you It would be bright Just like something good One day a ship comes in One hundred days you wait for it Something bright Something so good One hundred days A ship comes in every day You know it's good You know it's good A ship comes in every day One day a ship comes in Its good When it's something good
Love there are flowers hanging in the vine So high you cannot see Now my mind must go on holiday, torn from it's hook, a broken valentine I see the smoke from a revolver, will I get hit, I hardly care When I'm bombed I stretch like bubblegum And look too long straight at the morning sun Love there are flowers along the avenue, all things perfectly in place I build a shrine I set a monument Because you're fire Because you're a fire escape
Can you stay here next to me? We'll just keep drivin' Because of you I see a light The Buick's a Century, a '73 like you Some strange religion I get my hands on some money momma, and a shot in the night Stared down the past and just scarred my eyes Now I know there's no easy ride She's been the kind who would take it in stride Some jack of diamonds kicked her heart around Did they know they were walking on holy ground? Almost called it a day so many times Didn't know what it felt like to be alive 'Til you been a friend to me, like nobody else could be Keep my hands on the wheel now momma Gonna honestly try She looked past the scars and the burned out eyes You could see I'm no easy ride She's just the kind who might get you to buy Some strange religion This jack of diamonds kicked her heart around Shoulda known they were walking on holy ground This life might eventually just be the end of me, will I still be with you Get in next to me, just keep driving Cause of you I been alive And this Buick's a Century, '73 like you Some strange religion The Buick's a Century, '73 like you Some strange religion

Come to me Light on my shoulder come to me burn your starry crown my dark angel I've tried, I can't get over 'Cause when I think I'm climbing I'm really so far down Time takes a while, to break ya And now, only fire can wake ya Oh weeping willow Coughing up my heart ask god to see my shadow And kept us apart Through my mind's every riot, or revelation you've just now gone You've just now gone, as I arrive At every station Come to me Either early or late I've learned this by habit now I know how to wait come to me come to me come to me

So sad the girl I had Lost her head and it went bad Blue her two eyes they were dead Mirror mine and see she said One of these mornings I don't know her One of these mornings I think I owe her Head Once she signed a piece of my mind Girlie scenes and gasoline Porno pony she did ride Forsaken long lost limousine I hear her talkin' I like to hear her talkin' See her walkin' I like to watch watch her come walkin' Head Head She lost it and man did it get bad Lazy eyes were dead Mirror mine and see she said Once she drew a picture Stuck it in my pocket Find somewhere to reach her 'Cause she let me rock it See her walkin' I like to watch, watch her come walkin' Head
Well I'm so tired of driving but here comes the highway Don't wanna go cold turkey Ride with me Jesus so high on the mainline It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley Remember her kiss is like kerosene The rest of her only a memory Don't feel so bad 'cause you made me A picture so clear A picture so clear that it's crystalline Better run to the doctor, girl, run to the medicine Don't wanna go cold turkey I'll be your Napoleon be your crippled Alexander, but Don't wanna go up the country Shame there's nothing to hang it on Except for this wreck that you made of me A blackbird singin' a morning song, sing along Sing to the end of a century Sing it Well I can't stand the thought of many more miles, but I don't wanna go cold turkey Here comes the highway can't you see what it made me It's the last time I'll drive Death Valley Remember her kiss is a kerosene The exile lives in a memory A scarecrow singin' a morning song, sing along Sing to the end of a century Are you still with me Jesus so high on the mainline Don't let me go up the country Girl better run, better run for the medicine Don't let me go cold turkey Don't let me go cold turkey Don't wanna go
As it begins so too it ends Crawls to a stop and starts again Those highlights you've forced to shine Show me my way through wilderness And someday far from here I'll send a kiss Out of nowhere At times you see a ghost down on the street Walks the hallway knocking door to door Where are you from night till 9am Only a dark skinned Jesus knows Why suddenly your room is turnin' cold Cold is nowhere And as it ends so it begins Crawls to a stop and starts again Those highlights you've made are mine Show me my way through wilderness To someone who's blind I'll send a kiss Out of nowhere
