Visions Of Horror
04:11
|
|||
|
I see dark clouds make way
for a bright majestic light
what a terrifying sight
those shades of gray that sound of rain
a final dusk will fall
before eternal night
I see all the people in the world
fall to their knees
not for the one they’re waiting for
beyond belief
soon forever lost to shadow
I feel the earth beneath me shake
I can’t help but quake
a church bell rings on a distant hill
drowning out the voice of fear
the end’s not nigh, it’s here
I see all the people in the world
begin to weep
the pain of lies cuts deep
a pain with no relief
the ones who loved, the ones who tried
they did it all in vain, what a shame

Return To Light
04:55
|
|||
|
There’s a murder of crows in my bedroom
plotting to dine on my brain
so I’ve gently slipped on my astronaut suit
now the earth will never look the same
I live in a far distant future
by burying myself in the past
the world now just doesn’t get me
and I just wasn’t built to last
But when my soul becomes the sun
I will know I’m not the only one
let my soul return to light
and I promise to burn forever bright
Yesterday seems so familiar
but I’ll never see it again
there’s a morning just outside my window
waiting for nightmares to end
there’s a black cat perched on my bedpost
she makes sure that I never sleep
for in sleep comes exploration
and memories I’m not allowed to keep

Apples & Beans
05:32
|

Old Aloysius Johnston went to see
the devil down by the creek
said, “Hey there mister devil hadn’t had
nothin’ to eat in a couple of weeks...
Two things I crave you can give to me...
I’ll trade you anything if you give me
some apples and beans!”
Apples and beans, apples and beans
apples and beans, apples and beans
Every hobo’s dream is apples and beans
Now the devil spoke to Alo
said, “Your dreams just might come true...
I can give you anything
but I need something from you...
Give me your soul to do with as I please
and if I get that I desire
you’ll get your apples and beans”
Well a desperate man was Alo
and to the devil he did reply
“If you fill my gut with the promised sup’
you can take me when I die...
But until then let me be free
to wander ‘round this wild world
and eat my apples and beans”

Haul Ass
05:06
|
|||
|
Well I spent all my money on one last tank of gas
behind the wheel I spark a bone
turn off my phone and haul ass
I’ll never see that goddamn town again
I’ll never go back that way again
I’ll never see that dirty old town again
I’ll never go back that way again
now the road’s my only friend
and I’ll never go back that way again
I traded my guitar for some boomers and a little grass
I’m on my way, nothin’ to say but
“Praise the Lord, I‘m free at last!”
If I get where I’m going I will be sure to drop a line
but don’t hold your breath, don’t have regrets
I swear I’ll be doing just fine

Running Wild
06:43
|

|
He was a wanderer
riding on a two wheeled chariot
he often thought of her
and all the things she’s got
he was a poet, an artist, and a fraud
she was untouchable
but he never forgot
The world will keep on turning
and hearts will keep on burning
for what will never be
as the clouds move in the sky
and the fire never dies
some things never change
The sun beat down
his skin boiling in the heat
no turning back now
he’s gone too far to retreat
she never wanted him
he never wanted to understand
moments of weakness
running wild, getting out of hand
Determination
sweat dripping down his brow
desperation is a deafening sound
the road goes on and on
no reason to slow down
no destination
open wide the gates of hell

Hard To Get Excited
05:17
|
|||
|
Turn me loose in a whorehouse
see the damage I can do
I’m not a good boy anymore
and good men don’t exist
You can burn all my clothes
I won’t need them anymore
I’ll live naked in the wild
the world I know now makes me sick
I still don’t know what I’m looking for
but I’m looking, yeah I’m looking
I still don’t know what I’m waiting for
but I’m waiting, waiting and hoping
Take a look at the president
and everyone that wants his job
it’s hard to get excited
when it’s always the same old shit
I’ll quit my job and hit the road
try my luck at telling stories
and if I can hold on to my soul
I just might have a fighting chance to win
How long must I wait?
How far will I look?

Morning Train
04:54
|
|||
|
Please wear a flower in your hair
so I know it’s you when I get there
if I ever get there at all
And bring all the letters
that I sent you in the mail
and I’ll do the same for you
My bags are packed
I’ve got my cigarettes
in my coat pocket
with some matches
and a bottle of booze
I’ll be on the train in the morning
and if it’s on time
I’ll see you in the afternoon
but the train I’m getting on
will never get there
and I know you won’t be waiting
because you just don’t have the time
you’ll never get all the gifts I brought you
I’ll never get a hug, and we’ll never
share a bottle of wine
So I’ll just keep on riding that train
out west to the ocean
and pretend that I’m meeting you there
you would be so beautiful by the ocean
with the moonlight in your eyes
and the wind blowing in your hair
I’ve been a long way from home
but I know I’ll never see you there
standing by the ocean
with the moonlight in your eyes
and the wind blowing in your hair

Like A Vampire
04:08
|
|||
|
I have eyes like a vampire
I see you when the sun goes down
I know your tricks and lies
I hear about it all over town
I was a man
you made me and animal
I know all that I do, it is no good for you
I know all that I see, it is no good for me
You have teeth like a vampire
your bite it pierces deep
you left me all alone
you really sucked the life out of me

Rot Gut Whisky
05:47
|
|||
|
He’s drinking that rot gut whisky everyday
it’s the only way to dull the pain
So every night he runs to the woods
to start a fire to sit by
to unleash a mind
that wants to dream
to wander, not to sleep
So every night he sits by the swamp
staring up through the tree tops
just to count the stars
and wonder where they are
those UFOs
So every night he builds a bigger fire
to send a better signal
so the smoke rolls up his nose
a long but gentle toke
to fill his lungs with hope
Propped against an elm tree all alone
hoping for something new to believe in
looking for a reason to put it down
