Don't know where I'm going
Don't know where I've come from Just can't seem to find a home Can't seem to settle down The life of a hobo is no fun I'm just a hobo on the run One day of sweating backache One day of freezing rain One year of breaking hard rock Six months of jumping rail The life of a hobo is no fun I'm just a hobo on the run What can I do what can I say Don't even trust the length of the day Only the witness of Southern Jim |

Rose on the vine, there's a holy man drinking my wine
Hole in the line Old Sunday morning is raining and shining my way Rose on the vine, drinking my wine So good day- Is your grass so green and do you ... like people say?

Susan burned her mind out yesterday men came down from town took her away Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Pills in the jar, let them tell you how lucky you are Leapers for two Eggs in one basket = Immaculate Contraception How do you do?

Please forgive me mother - You said I'd never survive alone
Swimming in and out of dreams that you could Never piece together in the silence you lost You bore the cost - For this: The ring on your finger Happiness was a Sunday afternoon Mummy and Daddy are fighting next door The neighbours complained to the wife of the landlord The small hand's on the nine and the big hand's on ten It's time for the children to go to bed again (Good bye Mother, forgive me and all my sins - Say They are forgotten - And so ... To bed) Pull down the blinds and turn on the music You gotta roll off - I'm gonna roll on Turn off your mind and roll to the music I'm gonna go POP before it's begun. Please forgive me mother if I appear to be far away Slipping in and out of arms that try to Hold me down for ever till the dust us do part Hand on my heard: It's true A light in your window Suppertime The shipwreck of your life! Poor little Dinah, she's leaving home: She's going to marry a man in a hurry Monday and Tuesday still on the phone And mother can't work for a while though worrying. (Good bye Mother, you tried so to put the blame on The world around you and so ... to bed) |

Hail the Black Redeemer, how long you been away!
Caliph of the Darkness, I miss you every day I got this terrible feeling and don't know what to say Show me how to face the morning - Teach me how to play The bad man keeps a callin' - He's hungry for my soul But down to you I'm comin', When death collects his toll The symbols on my door are changing every day So hail The Prince of Doom and Darkness - Help me on my way. Down to your world go I Into your flames I fly Master of the moonlight, visit me this day Tell me what I want to know and help me fly away Let me feel the fire melt into my soul Send the baking desert wind from pole to frozen pole With your breath of fire fan this deathly mask Let the needle kiss my vein and give me all I ask Please don't let the dealer's heart grow hard if I can't pay Hail The Prince of Doom and Darkness - Help me on my way. Down to your world go I Into your flames I fly |

Summer dream you killed the queen
And all the sea's a fire Where is the sister gone again, oh Father? You stole the tarts and joined the queue To cool a fool's desire Oh won't you stop the clock Eternity can wait for ever White the room around the fading shadows of a lifetime Where is my heart beat been and gone, Oh Mother? Life was just a port of call - A paranoic pastime Where's the joke in being me at all to face The grave now |

To think that I once called you friend
The changes that you put me through And now it seems a change of plan Is all that I could do for you Though your thoughts are on the ebbing tide And you'll whisper at another strangers side Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady Leave your burning ships to die Maybe you'll wonder in your time And see the flame of might land The treasures of a thousand kings Lay burned in the drifting sand But you will go on your way Out of sight with nothing to say Remember I'm the one who brought you your lady Leave your burning ships to die |
