Another Lonely Night
I watch the stars run awaym
They cant wait to leave
The sky today
I watch the morning shadows decsend
Across your wide brown eyes
Again
Everytime you hurt me
I say that its alright
I'm all thats left to blame
The morning after
Another lonely night
I guess that leaving town
Is the best thing I can do
This is my last attempt at
Loving you
Everytime you hurt me
I say that it's alright
I'm all thats left to blame
The morning after
Another lonely night
The morning after
Another lonely night
Archy's Lullaby
Are you
watching over me
In my three-hour sleep
if people were like bugs
then they would sleep like me
with eyes open wide
kick off the sheets Good Night
Good night
Good night to no one
Good night to no one
Good night to no one next to me
Good night to no one next to me
Good night
Good night
Catnap In The Boom Boom Room
Mary sits high on a stool
Combing out her hair
While all her boys
Roll bodies to the barn
A message says
Up on the wall
Don't come around here no more
And Mary smiles
And turns away
Rides again
Another day
Down the highway
The sirens speak
John Law will get no peace
And high above
The hangmans noose
Will get no relief
And all the people
At the gate
Shall be released
Mary smiles
And turns away
Rides again
Another day
Color Of The Sun
Wrap a ribbon around your finger
Someday you'll remember
What it felt like in her arms
She could make you laugh
She could make you cry
Show you dark things deep inside
Chorus:
And I see it in your eyes x 2
The color of the sun
I'm blinded by the obsession
The heat of summer beckons
Blue, green and red are the colors on the sidewalk
Outside the buildings echo
The sound of the wind and I hear
The sound of my heartbeat
In my ears
Chorus
Wrap a ribbon around your finger
Someday you'll remember
What it felt like
In her arms
Chorus
Front Porch
Paint a tiny portrait
In your memory
Take it out and dust it off
When you remember me
Sitting on the front porch
Whispers in the dark
The leaves of fall
Are breaking up
And heavy in the yard
I guess that I misunderstood
Or got too comfortable
With the rank and file
Of all the things
You believe in
I guess that I should have seen
We were far from a perfect fit
Whatever it was you needed
I just could'nt give
So tonight
I'll sit out here
With the stars and trees above
And hope you wont think less of me
Than my heart already does
How To Get To Heaven
You say everything
I don't want to hear
I'll pretend I dont mind
As long as you're near
Clouds, clouds passing by
Our head and ears
We sit idly by
Let go the years
Chorus:
I can make everything fade away
We sit softly on
Our grassy knoll
Watching the river bed
And the waters flow
Watching as it goes by
Your house and more
Turns the corner round the bend
And flows no more
Chorus
Reach into your bag
And pull out a gun
Put it up to my head
You've got six shots
To make one
As long as your around
I'd be better off dead
It'd make everything
Better in the end
Chorus
I've seen every tear
You've ever shed
I can count them on one hand
Have five fingers left
I've seen everything
Fade away
Whats gone tomorrow
Never happened today
Chorus
I Miss You Best
Snow blows
Thru the window
All I can do is stumble
Across the uneven floor
Into an unmade bed
I lie awake for hours
I must be afraid of something
All that I own is
Still in boxes
Scattered across the floor
chorus:
I miss you best
I miss you best
I miss you best
Just dont know
What to do
About it
I can still feel your body
Like a bruise
Against my side
Across the great divide
Memory always lies
Everything falls to pieces
Nothing stays the same
I make up the ground rules
For this waiting game
chorus
She stumbles on nothing
And tumbles into her bed
Pulls the blankets above her chin
And falls asleep with
The nod of her head
And I think
That it's beautiful
Simple pleasures are the best
She's breathing softly
I miss you best
chorus
Love Has No Meaning
As I lay here beside you
Counting minutes in my head
I might as well stop stuggling
This time I think were really dead
This old heart of mine
Stumbles as it falls
Cause love has no meaning
Where you are involved
We sit here in silence
Watch the blue and grey mountains
As the snow blows of the creases
Like water from a faucet
And there is not enough firewood
To keep this house warm
Cause love has no meaning
Where you are concerned
I'm broken down lonely
And run to the ground
I'll warn you of something
I've recently found
Love has no meaning
When you are around
Right On Time
I've never seen a sky
As flat as this one
As flat as the brown earth
Beneath our feet
Never seen a horizon
As dim as this one
It's 110 in the street
It's summer time again
In southern california
As fabled as any land ever known
Inside this house
With bars on the window
We dont get shown
The rest of the world
Here come the rain birds
Here come the rain birds
Here come the rain birds
Right on time
Out here
Theres a riot waiting to happen
Theres a whole lot of people
Who will be hurt
There are just too many of us
Thrown together
In this
Seven square miles of dirt
Inside the house
It's cool and dark
We keep the lights off
So it won't hurt our eyes
Out in the backyard
The sun bakes the earth
Uut by the old garage
Here come the rain birds
Right on time
Sticky
I'm sliding underneath
The door again
You get so sticky
When you're waking up
I'm sliding underneath your skin again
I get so tired
I can't wake up
You're dancing out on the ledge again
100 feet above the bed it seems
And when I feel
Like I'm joining in
I get so scared
I get so scared
Chorus x 2
I'm a particle in motion
I'm a box of broken strings
I'm feeling well oiled
But I don't know anything
I don't know anything
Work Song
There is a stone
And 100 yards away
There is a rock
There is a house
And on the other side
There is a stream
Where we cool our feet
When we get home
Chorus
When we get home
Home from work
When we get home from work
Victorville
Seems so far away
Out on the edge
Of the Mojave
We light a fire
With tumble weeds
Cast out our shadows
Like Joshua trees
Chorus
Every night
At 10pm
We find a bed
Lay down our heads
The warm wind blows
Against the window shade
And we dream about
Moving away
Chorus
The Visitor
It's 9:32
I'm in my room
And you
You are
In my room
It's 9:33
He turns the key
Unlocks the door
And walks the floor
And walks the floor
And walks the floor
It's 9:34
He's out the door
He's out
The door
