Storm clouds all around me
There's a lightning at my back But there's an angel on my shoulder That's keepin' my on track No matter how bad I stumble She's there to catch me when I fall My angel of forgiveness has been Around to see it all I wandered down from nowhere It was a long time ago With my images and dreams My hopes for the best Giving nothing away Nothing yet lost But now I'm going Going over eden's wall Won't be back You can have it all Take my chances make the run -- Finish standing tall Cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall The heat pu an edge on things that Summer The clock ticking away Had all the world before me Except for the ungodly war Caught in a river, the current took me away To a wilderness of reverance Left me hanging by a thread A splintered prayer an invocation Born out of chance at dusk The benediction at sunrise It's a resonance ringing Robbed me of my innocence I'd run out of trust Cause now I'm going Going over eden's wall Won't be back You can have it all Take my chances make the run -- Finish standing tall Cause I'm going, going, Going over eden's wall I'm held to the faith Feeling wounded That the future unfolds I could not cry Like a conversation not always understood A broken spirit dries the bones It's architecture and intent revealed a little at a time I am delivered gone without a trace I'm running out of time I've seen beyond the line The question I weigh It's not so much the cost It's what I'm willing to pay Going, going over eden's wall Won't be back, no You can have it all Take my chances -- make the run -- Finish standing tall Cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall Goin' over goin' under run right through it Look out -- yeah yeah |

Give my best to thosei I care for
With firends a simple nod will do I bow to those who've come and gone before me A handshake to the past It gets me through Been a little bit good and a little bit sad Let the dirt and dust fall where it may A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears Measured distance through the heartbeats Measured time holds all my beliefs These shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with A scattered mind from a reckless youth I cover my ears, I cover my eyes Still all the fears, still heard the lies A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears Took convention for a rough ride A genius under glass set adrift Direction all but fading Like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance The rivers I cross the memories I keep A minute to smile, forever to weep A distant thunder and it takes my breath away Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears A distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky Of all those times that I've turned and looked away A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears Oh cover my tears |

Back door sliders, narrow escapes
Busted gray wall, greasy embrace Finances ailing, crawlin' down The rain slicked alleys, ain't no escape in this town Blood on the stone, blood on the rock Consumed with the passion, that only time could unlock One life wasted, another one gone The streets are on fire, and I'm calling you home Hoy hoy Hoy hoy Don't go there boy Juanita's daughter got her kicks in the streets And her mama's warning "you better duck the heat" She's got a concrete body with candy cane hair Razor balde business appearin' out of thin air Stars fallin' down, snow on the ground Chasin' the dragons all over the town The dream catcher's wagon, lurkin' to loom A one dance ducka, you know he's workin' the room Hoy hoy Hoy hoy Don't go there boy Preacher's on the corner wrapped in a heavenly light But noise of the chopper drowns the message tonight He says "you saucy senoritas take care where you swing Cause the lords of the boulevard don't owe you a thing." Hoy hoy Hoy hoy Don't go there boy Hoy hoy Hoy hoy Hoy hoy Hoy hoy |

I close my eyes and try to remember
Lookin back on it now it seems so much like a dream All the places I ever wandered, all the kisses I ever stole Yours are the ones I still remember, they never grow cold They're just under the radar My heart is a mountain, I'd walk on fire to get back to you Reaching out for your touch, I'm clinging to your sould Thought I'm not far from sight No I'm not far from sight now I'm just under the radar Under the radar It's a place where all is forgiven Under the radar Where love never grows old It's lying just below the timber line Under the radar Where the spirit goes on and on The time has come and gone, all my options blown to dust When a gentle tap upon my shoulder left me reelin from my past I was standing on a stretch of highway, going back to see a friend Thought I'd reached the point of no return, but came back under the radar I've been there ever since Under the radar It's a place where all is forgiven Under the radar Where love never grows old It's lying just below the timber line Under the radar Where the spirit goes on and on You can trace your thoughts of darkness with the movements of the sun When you see what stands before you and allow yourself a dream Though it's not far from sight now No it's not far from sight It's just under the radar Under the radar Where all is forgiven Under the radar Where love never grows old Lying just below the timber line Under the radar Where the spirit carries on Under the radar Under the radar Where love never grows old It's lying just below the timber line Under the radar Where the spirit goes on and on and on and on and on |

Been up all night And the light has left your eyes I was always runnin' to you Not fast enough My little boy blue Ever get where you wanted to go? You knew the way The times, the good and the bad Was all that we had In the end it let us down I'm tired and I feel the blame All my prayers sound the same Stranded here with no relief Abandoned here beyond belief Vale of tears Empty room Once was filled Cold and still This ragged town so desperate in the rain Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain Never mind the promised tomorrow Given for a heartfelt sorrow Always tomorrow the promise In a vale of tears The raucous sounds and shining lights Weave their tales into the night And the knowing lingers bright All the love my sweet tender friend It's still around, it never ends The past is just an alibi It's all the same The weather's turning warmer every day And I think the rains are done At least that's what they say Thought I saw you just the other night I knew my eyes weren't seeing right Then again I see you all the time Everywhere Vale of tears Empty room Once was filled Cold and still This ragged town so desperate in the rain Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain Never mind the promised tomorrow Given for a heartfelt sorrow Always tomorrow the promise In a vale of tears Even now this anger's replacin' faith I somehow The heart remembers you Never mind the promised tomorrow Given for a heartful of sorrow Always tomorrow the promise In a vale of tears Tell me 'bout the promise tomorrow Given for a heartful of sorrow Always remember the promise In a vale of tears |

Not a good combination in the best of times I had no real plans, no trouble in mind Just a real fat wallet my modus operandi Then I woke up - seatin' and lost Ya know I sear that it's true The sun was shining in my eyes Reflectin' off a gold tooth I said oh man... it was a ferocious morning Well I remember the money quintessential moans Yesterday's perfume tells me I ain't alone Then I hear that fool's bellow pounding at the door I had my heart in my mouth when my feet hit the floor Taste of cotton - and gasoline All down in my thirty two No time for stoppin' - I gotta beat the scen I think this window will do I said oh man... what a ferocious morning The heat was oppressive, ninety nine in the shade I hit the bricks runnin', hip-hoppin' away I needed some magic so I turned into a bar Was the misery minute down at the happy hour My head screamed for a cough syrup cocktail But I settled on a deep well gin Don't recall it all... I think it was fun But I don't wanna go there again Oh man... what a ferocious morning |

Sister sister, she rides so easily Like some sidewalk angel, like a sail out on the sea Far out on my horizon, she slips away from me Here with my momento and her air of mystery One high heeled stiletto what did she ever mean to ? A touch of nails of crimson, from some vision in the night Slowly fadin' out of sight I sure hate to see her leavin' Sure hate to see her go What will I ever do without her I just don't know She said we were in love last night In love with no last name Last night the fire was burnin' bright now I'm goin' down Goin' down in flames Sister sister, did you even feel the heat ? Your kisses felt so gently, like the rain falls on the street I still feel the fire, I'll never lose that memory It'll always be with me I sure hate to see her leavin' Sure do hate to see her go What will I ever do without her I just don't know She said we were in love last night A love with no last name So I let her build that fire so bright now I'm goin' down Goin' down in flames We said we were in love last night Caught up in our own games Last night I felt the fire so bright Now I'm goin' down, goin' down Said we were in love last night Now nothing seems the same So I let her build that fire so bright Now we're goin' down, goin' down in flames |

Well the night that was high, we got into town Was the night that the rain, it froze on the ground Down the street I heard such a sorrowful tune Comin' from the place they call the Spanish Moon Well I stepped inside, and stood by the door While a dark-eyed girl sang, and played the guitar Hookers, and hustlers, filled up the room I heard about this place they call the Spanish Moon One false step, you get done in It's a cold situation If that that don't kill you soon The women will down at the Spanish Moon I pawned my watch, and I sold my ring Just to hear that girl singing, (hear that girl sing) Don't take long, to wake up ruined The women will down at the Spanish Moon |

Heard you got an infection Just before your lewd rejection Wait'll the shit hits the fan You couldn't turn him down Hold your address book above your knees And kissed your soft legs there He was on top of the pop stars You couldn't turn him down You were a sweet girl When you were a cheerleader But I think you're much better now Bought a few reds from your neighboorhood dealer And you passed out in the back of a car You were too messed up to climb out What if your old man had found out |

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And, underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell And, in that southern moonlight she sang the song so well If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, we made all the hot spots - my money flowed like wine And then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, it's been a year since she ran away - guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along - she's always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland |

A drifter on the run And eloquent profanity It rolls right off my tongue And I have dined in palaces Drunk wine with Kings and Queens But darlin', oh darlin' You're the best thing I've ever seen Won't you roll me easy Oh slow and easy Take my independence With no apprehension,no tension You walki' talkin' dream paradise Sweet pair a' dice Well I been across this country From Denver to the ocean And I never met girls who could sing so sweet Like the angels that live in Houston Singin' "Roll me easy, so slow and easy... Play that Concertina,I'll be your temptress..." And baby I'm defenseless Singin' harmony In unison Sweet harmony Gotta hoist your flag and I'll beat your drum |

One so sad, feeling's painful You can't deny, there is no peace Is no love, milk-toasted love Ain't no velvet glove You were the child of some electric nightmare And you could move mountains, the swords of fire They keep you around to watch their house of gold Keep the hungry away from the sacred grove You were holy and you made me wonder how But you looked like a devil who would sieze and shake you down On the hopes of a tyrant No one makes it over There is no peace Is no love, a milk-toasted love Ain't no velvet glove |

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And, underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell And, in that southern moonlight she sang the song so well If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, we made all the hot spots - my money flowed like wine And then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland Well, it's been a year since she ran away - guess that guitar player sure could play She always liked to sing along - she's always handy with a song Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well And as he handed me a drink he began to hum a song And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb And we can walk together down in Dixieland Down in Dixieland |

Rollin' down highway 95 Sailin' through her hometown countryside Move on over stand astride My cruise control's in overdrive Need to take my baby for a ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight Might be doin' more thahn fifty-five When I sit my baby right down by my side Where the rubber hit the road This rig don't dig no overload Come on, and let my baby ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight Now I know just how heaven feels When she reach beneath my big old steerin' wheel Dyna flow, power glide Bored and stroked, I'm satisfied When I take my baby for a ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight |

Baby what's wrong with you Have to tell ya it seemed like we were through And your memory's almost gone Met this girl in New York City That took the night train all the way from Buffalo Just to see the midnight show And every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer That's where I stumble every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you I don't mind the lonely days so much Can't take those long nights dreamin' bout your tender touch Lyin' awake waitin' for the phone to ring Got to my courage up And find a way that I can cut you loose But it don't seem to be no use Got to tell ya every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer It get me every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you Seem like every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer And don't it get me every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you |

Come home last night wishin I could unwind Turned on the news ya know it blew my mind Current affairs got me in a spin People everywhere doin' each other in Fussin' and fightin' from dusk till dawn Lyin', stealin, wheelin', dealin', it just keeps rollin' on Nothin but bad news and it's wearin' kind of thin With every news situation sems to be a no win It's just business as usual It's just business as usual Send in the funds, keep the faith alive Without your checks how can we survive We got cars in the yard, bills to pay Crosses to bear, we got souls to save Each and every day, people sittin' round, a Sunday go to meetin' town T.V. prophets bringing on a judgement day The rectory's wrecked, the preacher's funds are goin' slowin' down Elders eyes see their good life slippin' away It's just business as usual It's just business as usual If it rings of truth throw it out the window If you need any proof, it's any way the wind blows If you're askin' me, I'll tell you that I don't know And so it goes, so it goes And it'all goin' down, on the outskirts of town I saw it on the radio, in the heart of the village It's rape, plunder, and pillage I got it off the press, so it must be so It must be so It's just business as usual It's just business as usual It's just business as usual It's just business as usual |

There's a feelin' in the sky tonight Tough as nails and I feel the cold wind start to bite Folks I meet seem so cold Blown like leaves their faces hard and set in stone I'd just like to know Cold and tired, hope all gone Just how far this road goes on I'd just like to see All or nothin', high or low Just how far this game can go Plant my feet on foreign soil No return I crossed that mil some time ago Cast my eyes on streets that shine Reflect my image and I know I'm livin' on borrowed time I'd sure like to feel Dreams I chased so long ago Weren't wasted miles on empty roads I'd just like to believe All these desperate cries I hear Are falling on a sympathetic ear In world of illusions All you're left with is your changin' luch Kisses and tears and unanswered questions Just a child of chance with your changin' luck Changin' luck A song I've heard since I was young Sounds so sweet on this lonely street, makes me cry Askin' myself why oh why I'm such a fool to listen to this deadly kind of lullaby I'd just like to know Cold and tired, hope all gone Just how far this road goes on I'd just like to see All or nothin', high or low Just how far this game can go In world of illusions All you're left with is your changin' luch Kisses and tears and unanswered questions Just a child of chance with your changin' luck Changin' luck |
