1.Big O Motel
Down the road sits the Big O Motel,
Where people tell lies in their own private cell.
With cast down eyes and a packaged surprise,
I come and I go we plan it just so.
At the Big O Motel, on the vibrating bed,
Cologne drenched curtains of velour red.
In the smoky glass mirror I look at my face,
But, on the bed beside me someone has taken your place.
By the Big O mOtel, there's a drive through bar,
They'll make you a daiquiri in a mason jar.
The man at the window with the receding hair line,
Looks away from me but says ' same place, same time '.
At the Big O Motel, on the vibrating bed,
Cologne drenched curtains of velour red.
In the smoky glass mirror I look at my face,
But, on the bed beside me someone has taken your place.
The man on the corner with sausage shaped fingers,
After he's gone, his cigar smoke lingers.
After he's gone I take a shower,
I watch the clock's hands passing the hours.
2.Stranger in the mirror
Keep your arms open wide love,
'Cause I'm coming home,
I don't know where I am but I don't care,
'Cause I know where I'm going.
I'm going where the voices,
In my head tell me to
I'd walk a thousand crooked miles,
To try to get back to you
Chorus ：
Well I'm weary to the bone,
As I wake here alone,
With a pain that won't let me be
And there's a stranger in the mirror,
Staring back at me,
( Oh Lord, could it be, is that me ？ )
These hands are shaking in the shadows,
Of the old morning sun
That's dripping through the window pane,
Lord, this feeling is second to none
Repeat Chorus
I can almost see your smile,
And I can almost hear your voice
Rising high up above,
The flat land of Illinois
Repeat Chorus
3.The well
I'm waiting, I wait, for the creaking of the gate,
How long, how long must I wait.
I sit, I sit, the weeds gather 'round me,
The wind whips my dress so that I cannot see.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my
heart down the well.
I stare, I stare, and I'm looking over there,
'Cross that ghostly lake where he dwelled.
I look and I see a light burnin' bright,
But I know it doesn't burn for me tonight
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my
heart down the well.
Looking down, looking down, to where he once laid,
The birds hovered then took him away.
I rise to my feet and I walk down that road
Where I silently cry when this story is told.
So long, good-bye, to that great moaning sky and I'll cast my
heart down the well.
4.Halfway to madness
In the muddy brown water where I wrote your name.
Sadly it tells me that our luck has changed.
When I met you halfway to a place we call madness,
With a rock in my heart, I sank in despair.
In the dusty playground where I first saw your face.
Like a music chair dance, we keep changing our place.
Well there's nothing to hold, in a place we call madness.
Where the water runs cold, then the water runs dry.
How simple things seemed when I just wanted to hold you, hold
you.
I listen to a voice of reason while I sleep
It tells me to question all the promises that I keep.
When I met you halfway to a place we call madness,
With a rock in my heart, I sank in despair.
How simple things seemed when I just wanted to hold you, hold
you.
5.Do you fancy me
Do you fancy me, or am I living in make believe？
Am I someone just to pass your time？
To pass lonely hours 'til your heart can be free,
Then you'll forget all about me
Do you think of me,
Or are you a victim of old memories？
Why can't we live for now？
The past is only a sad tragic dream,
Why can't you give your love to me？
Like flowers of springtime there comes a time, when they must
wilt away.
Like coldness of winter, with clouds in the sky,
I watch lonely people pass by.
I'll no longer pine for you,
My heart is through with being blue.
Soon you'll turn to find me gone.
Then you'll pass lonely hours,
'Til your heart can be free,
And you'll do all your yearnin' for me.
6.Burn again
I lost a bit more
Won a little mess
Said good-bye to low
And hello to less
I jacked up the car
And shot at my guest
I rolled it twice
And hoped for the best
Chorus ：
On this tree I'll hang my skin
And my skeleton without a shadow
Will glow by the fire
The angel hangs over
The bedstand
With a wide wingspan
He's a guest or a ghost
Of a tall fireman
I guess I lit the curtains again
Repeat Chorus
I'm tearing the morning
Right out of the dawn
The night is broken
The day is gone
The sky hits me
It's falling fast
My guard is sleeping on
Broken glass
Repeat Chorus
7.It's not easy
You can listen to what I say,
Or you can turn the other way
Don't be kind just to please my heart,
But please don't tear my heart apart.
It's not easy, the world was meant for me to roam,
I'm not crazy, to want to go back home.
Sometimes there's no sun in the sky,
Sometimes the sun gets in my eyes
And then the past is just a game,
And destiny is not to blame
For the reason, the world was meant for me to roam,
I'm not crazy, to want to go back home
Where the gentle creatures roam,
That is the place I call my home
You know I'll miss you when I'm gone,
But I must be moving on.
It's not easy, I never meant to do you wrong,
I'm not crazy, but I must be moving on
8.Two wrongs won't make things right
Waiting for the sun to set in your eyes,
Thinking that kind words are just a disguise.
I wonder why you think that I should say good-bye when you know
Two wrongs won't make things right.
There was a time that I remember your happy smile,
Was it last september I went away.
I'm sorry now, but two wrongs won't make things right,
Two wrongs won't make things right.
Someday we'll remember this chance we once had to make things
right make things right.
I'm thinking of my words that made you cry,
What can sorry mean when said with the word good-bye.
And though times change one thing remains,
That two wrongs won't make things right.
9.Listen to the wind
Listen to the wind, it calls out my name,
It calls with it's wanderin' ways.
Somewhere out yonder kindlin' my flame
Turnin' my tearin' to a blaze.
While I tow the line on this barge of a heart
That'll lead me astray some day, some day.
I'm gonna get me a gun and shoot me someone
If I don't calm my yearnin' heart,
And they'll take me away to an early grave
Before my natural days are done.
While I tow the line on this barge of a heart
That'll lead me astray some day, some day.
While I tow the line on this barge of a heart
That'll lead me astray some day, some day.
10.Lonely lights
There she goes, she's a lonely one,
She wears a strange painted on smile.
She's caught in the middle,
And she's waited for a long, long while.
There she sits half in the shade,
She won't look at any trouble made by that man.
He's the only trouble she understands.
Dancing where the lonely lights are dim,
Holding on to just a memory of him
I tell myself there's no one to blame,
Is it fate？ Why we feel the same.
Caught by the middle after waiting for a long, long time
Dancing where the lonely lights are dim,
Holding on tojust a memory of him
11.Game of broken hearts
Is that all there is to a name, a lost and childish heart.
There's nothing you give that's not dangerous or cold.
Is that there is to a game, a game of broken hearts.
There is no easy way to the lesson you must learn.
It seems so easy for you to turn your heart off and on.
It's no matter who is right or who is wrong.
Is that all there is to a face, a bit of sadness there to hide.
Your fears compel you to hide it all inside.
It seems so easy for you to turn your heart off and on,
It's no matter who is right or who is wrong.
12.The hand
There is a restless weight upon me, in the shape of things to
come.
And the wrapped up paper flowers have left my life undone.
What were the words once told to me or the promises left unmet.
And the end to all the simple things that we promised to never
forget.
When I felt the hand upon me, I thought I'd shaken all that I
could feel.
I don't need someone to tell me that none of it was real.
As I felt the darkness gather and the silence settle there.
And the many faces that surrounded me in the dark and silent
air.
13.Yellow birds
The little yellow birds,
Do they cry for me,
Or do they cry with happiness ？
They look down on me with tiny eyes,
Do they see my tears？
They seem to flutter by so carelessly,
Do they hope I have some seeds ？
They land beside me without any fear,
Do they see my tears ？
There is the open sky where a warm breeze blows,
Still the birds stay close by me.
Do they want some hair to make a nest for spring,
Or do they want to dry my tears ？
14.Tell me it's not so
Tell me it's not so, tell me a lie,
Say you won't go, say you won't say goodbye.
Tell me forever and that times they don't change.
Say you're not leaving and that you'll always feel the same.
One smile for the last time, one smile for today,
One smile that the darkness has taken away.
But your smile's just a memory that won't go away
And I'll always remember your smile today.
And I'll always remember your smile for today.
