Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block. I'd ask him what the matter was But I know that he don't talk. And the ladies treat me kindly And furnish me with tape, But deep inside his heart I know he can't escape. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley With his pointed shoes and his bells, Speaking to some French girl, Who says she knows me well. And I would send a message To find out if she's talked, But the post office has been stolen And the mailbox is locked. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Mona tried to tell me To stay away from the train line. She said that all the railroad men Just drink up your blood like wine. An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that, But then again, there's only one I've met An' he just smoked my eyelids An' punched my cigarette." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Grandpa died last week And now he's buried in the rocks, But everybody still talks about How badly they were shocked. But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he'd lost control When he built a fire on Main Street And shot it full of holes. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Now the senator came down here Showing ev'ryone his gun, Handing out free tickets To the wedding of his son. An' me, I nearly got busted An' wouldn't it be my luck To get caught without a ticket And be discovered beneath a truck. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Now the preacher looked so baffled When I asked him why he dressed With twenty pounds of headlines Stapled to his chest. But he cursed me when I proved it to him, Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide. You see, you're just like me, I hope you're satisfied." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Now the rainman gave me two cures, Then he said, "Jump right in." The one was Texas medicine, And the other was just railroad gin. Like a fool I mixed them An' it strangled up my mind, An' now people just get uglier An' I have no sense of time. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. When Ruthie says come see her In her honky-tonk lagoon, Where he can watch her waltz for free 'Neath her Panamanian moon. An' I say, "Aw come on now, You must know about my debutante." An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need But I know what you really want." Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. Now the bricks lay on Grand Street Where the neon madmen climb. They all fall there so perfectly, It all seems so well timed. An' here I sit so patiently Waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of Going through all these things twice. Oh, Mama, can this really be the end, To be stuck inside of Mobile With the Memphis blues again. |

With not a mark upon his silky hide Teach him he can trust me like a sister One day we'll saddle up and ride And we're gonna ride We're gonna ride Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds With the Devil close behind We're gonna ride We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna chase the sky forever With the man, the stallion and the wind The sun is gonna burn into a cinder Before we ever pass this way again And we're gonna ride We're gonna ride Ride like the one-eyed Jack of Diamonds With the Devil close behind We're gonna ride We're gonna ride... |

Me and my baby, we had a big fight
We ended our romance the same night In an angry mood, he walked out the door I said this song's going to an Aretha Franklin show Hey, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know our life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart And make him sorry that we are apart I don't know if taking requests is part of your show Do me this favour and I'll love you forever Many romances have been saved by your sound You've touched so many lovers, so many times Yes, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know our life's in misery Will you sing a song that will touch his heart? And make him sorry that we are apart "Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "A Bridge Over Troubled Waters" And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You" Hey, Aretha, sing one for me Let him know I’m as miserable as a woman can be Sing a song that will touch his heart So he’ll be sorry that we are apart "Think", "Respect", "Call Me", "I Never Loved a Man Like I Love You" And "I Can't See Myself Leaving You" |

You know I've been to see before Crown and anchor me, Or let me sail away Blue, there is a song for you Ink on a pin, Underneath the skin, An empty space to fill in Well, there's so many sinking Now you gotta keep thinking You can make it through these waves Acid, booze, and ass Needles, guns, and grass Lots of laughs, lots of laughs Everybody's saying that Hell's the hippest way to go Well, I don't think so, but I'll take a look around it, though Blue, I love you. Blue, here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby There is your from me (yudha) |

Where would you like for me to hang my head? One absence of truth And one horrible thing I saw What you truly wanted to become And who you thought I was The fall, the fall Afraid to love What is deeper than the grave Goes all the way down those tracks Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration Complete contradiction Away In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further From the world We must do I know this, I know this You know this, you know this In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further and further From the world We must do I saw you outside that wall Your skull outside that wall Your eyes perceived by the sound And the light of God |

One absence of truth And one horrible thing I saw What you truly wanted to become And who you thought I was The fall, the fall Afraid to love What is deeper than the grave Goes all the way down those tracks Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration Complete contradiction Away In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further From the world We must do I know this, I know this You know this, you know this In this hole that we have fixed We get further and further and further From the world We must do I saw you outside that wall Your skull outside that wall Your eyes perceived by the sound And the light of God |

Say you do Let me fly away with you We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins, baby You kiss me... With your kiss my life begins Like a leaf clings to a tree Baby, please cling to me We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins And you kiss me With your kiss my life begins.. Love me, love me Say you do Let me fly away with you |

I went down to the river
To meet the widow She gave me an apple And it was red I slept in her black arms For a century She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return The ghost of her husband Beautiful as a horse Pulled up an apple cart Full of millions of red apples for us Full of millions of red apples for us I went down to the river To meet the widow She gave me an apple And it was red I slept in her black arms For a century She wanted nothing in return I gave her nothing in return I went down to the river To meet the widow |

The trail is dark and dusty
The road is kinda rough But the road up yonder With the cinders on the side. Trails of troubles And your road of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk I walked out to the valley Turned my head up high. Seen that silver linin' That was hangin' in the sky Trails of troubles And your road of battles, In the paths of victory We shall walk The mountain was a-movin' The hummin' of its wheels, Told me of the new day That was coming across the fields Trails of troubles And roads of battles, They lead paths of victory We shall walk The gravel road is bumpy, It's a hard old road to ride, But the good road is waitin' And the boys it ain't far off. Trails of troubles And your roads of battle, They lead paths of victory We shall walk |

Oh the werewolf, the werewolf
Comes stepping along He don't even break the branches where he's gone Once I saw him in the moonlight, when the bats were flying I saw the werewolf, and the werewolf was crying How nobody knows, nobody knows, body knows How I loved the man, as I teared off his clothes. How nobody knows, nobody knows my pain When I see that it's risen; that full moon again For the werewolf, the werewolf has seen apathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me. And only he goes to me, man this little flute I play. All through the night, until the light of day, and we are doomed to play. For the werewolf, the werewolf, has seen apathy For the werewolf, somebody like you and me. |

And danced on the tables Hotels, trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes in the air Send in the trumpets The marching wheelchairs Open the blankets and give them some air Swords and arches, bones and cement The light and the dark of the innocence of men We know your house so very well And we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs There's nothing like living in a bottle And nothing like ending it all for the world We're so glad you have come back Every living lion will lay in your lap The kid has a homecoming! The champion, the whores! Who's gonna play drums, guitar or organ with chorus As far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand Never have we caught a glimpse of this man We know your house so very well And we will bust down your door if you're not there We've lived in bars And danced on tables Hotels, trains and ships that sail We swim with sharks And fly with aeroplanes out of here Out of here Out of here Out of here Out of here |

Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright And you were in a rage You were swinging your guitar around Cuz they wanted to hear that sound But you didn't want to play And I don't blame you I don't blame you Been around the world, in many situations Been inside many heads in different positions But you never wanted them that way What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay Them back for all that shit on stage But it never made sense to them anyway Could you imagine when they turned their backs They were only scratching their heads Cuz you simply deserve the best And I don't blame you I don't blame you They said you were the best But then they were only kids Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in Just because they knew your name Doesn't mean they know from where you came What a sad trick you thought that you had to play But I don't blame you They never owned it And you never owed it to them anyway I don't blame you |

Dream
When I feel blue in the night And When I want you to hold me tight Whenever I want you I have to dream Blue moon You saw me standing alone Dream When I feel blue in the night When I want you to hold me tight Whenever I want you I have to dream Blue moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon You knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for O she may be weary 'Cause you know young girls We do get weary Things we know we never gonna get But she's there waiting without them Please try a little tenderness Try a little tenderness Blue moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon You knew just what I was there for Heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for Dream When I feel blue in the night When I want you to hold me tight Whenever I want you I have to dream |
