1.Communication
For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I've found.
Some of them got closer then others
Some wouldn't even bother and then you came around
I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here
behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I'll never really learn how the love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation
It's not a threat
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
I need you, you want me
But I don't know how to connect
So I disconnet
2.You're The Storm
Oh it's healing bang bang bang
I can hear your canons call
You've been aiming at my land
Your hungry hammer's falling
And if you want me, I'm your country
I'm an angel bored like hell
And you're a devil meaning well
You steal my lines and you strike me down
Come raise your flag upon me
And if you want me, I'm your country
If you win me I'm forever, oh yeah
Cause you're the storm that I believe in
And all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
But it's the storm that I believe in
Come and conquer, drop your bones
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Bury your things and burn my winds
I hear bullets singing
And if you want me, I'm your country
If you win me I'm forever, oh yeah
Cause you're the storm that I believe in
And all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
So it's the storm that I believe in
You feel my heart you keep my breathing
Cause you're the storm that I believe in
3.A Good Horse
It takes no match to give me a spark
Now I'm trying out another heart
I've been winding 'bout a fresh start
I've found myself a good horse
Eyes burning on the quicksand
And I run it through the hollow land
I've fed it with a shaky hand
I found myself a strong horse
These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace
I've found myself a good horse
Yes I've found myself a strong horse
But things remain not different then before
These are the promises I can keep
Yes these are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace
4.And Then You Kissed Me
Man I've had a few
But they wouldn't quit blow me like you
You gave me your name and sight
With a halo around my eye
And it hits me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes it struck me that love is as bored
So I pushed you a little bit more
Love, you're news to me
You're a little bit more then I thought you'd be
A mow in my well fed lawn
You're a nightmare beating the dawn
Oh it hits me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more
Blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood say power fuel
Sweet love tasty blood
My heart overfloods
Oh you hit me
Yeah you hit me really hard
Man you hit me
Yeah you hit me right in the heart
Lord I've had my deal
But I never quite knew how it feels
When love makes you wake up soar
With fists that are ready for more
And it hits me that love is a game
Like in war no one can be blamed
Yes it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more
Blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood say power fuel
Sweet love tasty blood
My heart overfloods
Man you hit me
Yeah you hit me really hard
Baby you hit me
Yeah you punched me right in the heart
And then you kissed me
And then you hit me
Oh you hold me with your violent heartbeat at night
Oh you strike me with your silence baby tonight
Why you hold me with your violence baby come hit me
You hold me with your violent heartbeat
5.Couldn't Care Less
Oh my heart can't carry much more
It's really, really aching and soar
My heart don't care anymore
I really can't bear more
My hands don't work like before
I shiver and I scrape at your door
My heart can't carry much more
But you couldn't care less
Could you
Your face don't look like before
It's really not like yours anymore
Your eyes don't like me no more
They quiver and they shift to the floor
My heart don't beat like before
It's never been this lone
No my blood don't flow anymore
And you couldn't care less
Could you
Could we stop and sleep for a spare
We can turn this stitch into a ware
And send that old devil back to hell
But we don't care do we
Baby let's stop and sleep for a spare
We can turn this stitch into a ware
And send that old devil back to hell
Your back's not straight like before
You really shouldn't care in me no more
I'm much too heavy for you
I'm really quite a mess, yes
We just don't care anymore
We're cricket and were cut to the core
We're just not there anymore
But we really don't care do we
No, we couldn't care less
We couldn't care less
Could we？
6.Please Sister
With a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul
I sold my songs to have my fortune told
And it said
You should know that love will never die
But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye
I know love is a hot white light
It knocks you down and then leaves you dry
Oh how can it be sweet mama tell me why
Why all loves disciples have to wither and die
Please sister, help me come on do what you should
Please give me something I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok
Give me believe that my time will come
And a toll free helpline if I find someone
But she said
You gave away what you never really had
And now your purse is empty I can see why you're sad
Please sister, help me come on do what you should
Please give me something I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me
Can you make me feel ok
So if it's true, that love will never die
Then why do the lovers work so hard
To stay alive
Please sister, help me
Please give me something oh
Please sister, you know I do what I can
Oh sweet mama, please descent me a man
Cause I'm gone, gone
Is there nothing you can get
Please sister help me I just need some love
To live
Just a little love to live
7.For What Its Worth
For What It's Worth
Hey baby come round
keep holding me down
and I'll be keeping you up tonight.
The four letter word got stuck in my head
the dirtiest word that I've ever said
it's making me feel alright.
For what it's worth I love you
and what is worse I really do
oh what is worse I'm gonna run run run
'till the sweetness gets to you
and what is worse I love you!
Hey please baby come back
there'll be no more loving attack
and I'll be keeping it cool tonight.
The four letter word is out of my head
come on around get back in my bed
keep making me feel alright.
For what it's worth I like you
and what is worse I really do
things have been worse
and we had fun fun fun
'til I said I love you
and what is worse I really do!
For what it's worth I love you
and what is worse I really do
8.Lead Me Into The Night
I went too far, yes I came too close
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tight on a boat made of sand
I'm sailing for another to guide me to land
And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
Cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night
I traveled east and I traveled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran a ground my ship left to rust
Yes I found a guide in the city of lust
To lead me into the night
Oh please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night
Oh you, you, you, it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
True, true, it's true it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
To lead me into the night
Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he's the coast
And I went to drift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sift but I made it to land
It leads me into the night
He drives away in the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light
9.Live And Learn
I came home in the morning
And everything was gone
Oh what have I done
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on son
Why must I burn
I'm just trying to learn
I stared into the light
To kill some of my pain
It was all in vane
Cause no senses remain
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I'll be fine
Cause I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
If you live you will learn
I live and I learn
God kicked you in the head
So I started a fight
Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
For the money I brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I earned
But I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
I got, I got it now
She's got, She's got it now
I came to one a corner
With some help from a man and goddamn
I don't see to have learn
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don't know what I've learned
Well you get what you give
And hell yes I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don't think I'd be learned
Oh with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I'm living a life
But I don't seem to learn
No I don't think I can learn
10.Feathers And Doom
So you trying to do what they did
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the see
And now you're drowning me
With your talk of full eat clovers
You turn to rocks and no man
To be the ambient harm
But it's bruising your karma
Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of wool
So heavy and stain
And it only weighs you down
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of wool
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown
Come to me let's drown
Come baby let's drown
In feathers and down
11.No Sleep
It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
And neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me
I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones I made friends with
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight
And if I had one wishful field tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God leant his voice for me to speak
I'd say go to bed, world
I've always been too late
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champaign from last New Years
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fears
But if I had one wishful field tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed a mic to me to speak
I'd say stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace
