Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,
IThink I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile. Friends, did you get some silver? Did you get a little gold? What did you bring me, my dear friends, to keep me from the Gallows Pole? What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole? I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold, You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole. Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile. Brother, did you get me some silver? Did you get a little gold? What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole? Brother, I brought you some silver, I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everything To keep you from the Gallows Pole. Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole. Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile, I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile. Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand, Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man, Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man. Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile, Pray tell me that I'm free to ride, Ride for many mile, mile, mile. Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold, Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole, Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul, But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole Swingin' on the gallows pole! |

Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee
They're throwin' knives into the tree Two big bags of dead man's bones Got their noses to the grind stone Livin' in the Land of Nod Trustin' their fate to the hands of God They pass by so silently Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, they're goin' to the country, they're goin' to retire They're takin' a streetcar named Desire Lookin' at a window with a pecan pie Lot of things they'd like they would never buy Neither of them want to turn and run They're makin' a voyage to the Sun "His Master's Voice is calling me" Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum I'll have more than some They walk among the stately trees They know the secrets of the police Tweedle Dum said to Tweedle Dee, "Your presence is obnoxious to me. Feel like baby sittin' on a woman's knee." Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, the rain beat'n' down on a window pane I got love for you, and it's all in vain Brains in a pot, they're beginning to boil They're drippin' with garlic and olive oil Tweedle Dee is on his hands and his knees Sayin', "Throw me something, Mister, please!" "What's good for you is good for me," Said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee. Well, they're living in a happy harmony Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee They're one day older and a dollar short They got a parade permit and a police escort They're lyin' low and they're makin' hay They seem determined to go all the way They run a brick 'n' tile company Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee Well, a childish dream is a deathless need And a noble truth is a sacred creed My pretty baby, she's looking around She's wearin' a forty-thousand dollar gown Tweedle Dee is a low down sorry old man Tweedle Dum he'll stab you where you stand "I've had too much of your company," said Tweedle Dum to Tweedle Dee. |

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind end the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like the fire in my blood I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light |

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here All good people read good books Now your conscience is clear I hear you talk girl Now your conscience is clear In the morning when I wipe my brow Wipe the miles away I like to think I can be so willed And never do what you say I'll never hear you And never do what you say Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety We just poked a little empty pie For the fun people had at night Late at night don't need hostility The timid smile and pause to free I don't care about their different thoughts Different thoughts are good for me Up in arms and chaste and whole All God's children took their toll Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Cup of tea, take time to think, yeah Time to risk a life, a life, a life Sweet and handsome Soft and porky You pig out 'til you've seen the light Pig out 'til you've seen the light Half the people read the papers Read them good and well Pretty people, nervous people People have got to sell News you have to sell Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety More than twist in my sobriety Look my eyes are just holograms Look your love has drawn red from my hands From my hands you know you'll never be More than twist in my sobriety |

You and I, we're two of a kind,
I hate to say it but you'll never relate, what makes you tick? It makes me smile. You said that I should get away from it all, and bury my head in the sand if I want to, I think you ...should thank me now. You were lying wide awake in the garden trying to get over your stardom and I could never see you depart us and you're my baby, you're just another girl you're just another girl I never mind the way I had to see ya, my working on a day show never explains why I see you and I feel your pain. I love to wear my work inside of my head, I can't complain but you should never react the way you did, I feel your time. You were lying wide awake in the garden trying to get over your stardom and I could never see you depart us and you're my baby You were lying wide awake in the garden trying to get over your stardom and I could never see you depart us and you're my baby, you're just another girl, |

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see It may sound absurd but don't be naive Even Heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed but won't you conceed Even Heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me Up, up and away away from me It's all right You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy or anything I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me inside of me Only a man in a funny red sheet Only a man I'm looking for a red sheeteet Only a man in a funny red sheet It's not easy It's not easy to be me |

I see the crystal raindrops fall And the beauty of it all Is when the sun comes shining through To make those rainbows in my mind When I think of you sometime And I wanna spend sometime with you Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I We look for love No time for tears Wasted water with all those years And it don't makes no flowers grow Good things might come to those who wait Not for those who wait too late We've gotta go for all we know Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I I hear the crystal raindrops fall On the window down the hall And it becomes the morning dew Darling, when the morning comes And I see the morning sun I want to be the one with you Just the two of us We can make it if we try Just the two of us Just the two of us Building castles in the sky Just the two of us You and I

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides On a pony she named Wildfire With a whirlwind by her side On a cold Nebraska night Oh, they say she died one winter When there came a killing frost And the pony she named Wildfire Busted down its stall In a blizzard he was lost She ran calling Wildfire x 3 By the dark of the moon I planted But there came an early snow There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now For six nights in a row She's coming for me, I know And on Wildfire we're both gonna go We'll be riding Wildfire x 3 On Wildfire we're gonna ride Gonna leave sodbustin' behind Get these hard times right on out of our minds Riding Wildfire |
