Down south where Elvis is king
And Jesus is Lord We drove just shy of forever In our wheezy old Ford Hey love, don’t you think this life Has grown a little absurd? He said, Not bad for a Yankee girl Destined for Betty Ford (Oh Lord I said) Help me, it’s our last night on earth again Help me, it’s our last night on earth again I’ve been livin’ this so-called life since I can’t remember when Help me, it’s our last night on earth again Down in Texas where guns and guitars Are the friends a man loves best You might feel like your spinning wheels Are truly headed West Someone said the best we can hope for Is to make a beautiful mess I put my soul up for sale And the whole world asked, Could you take any less? Help me, it’s our last night on earth again Help me, it’s our last night on earth again I told Jesus he could have my heart He said, What kinda shape’s it in? Help me, it’s our last night on earth again Down South where Elvis is king And Jesus is Lord We played our songs in a field Where they found a Civil War sword I was singin’ Amazing Grace And someone yelled, Freebird I strummed and smiled to myself and said, Honey, it’s a bitch to be ignored Help me, it’s our last night on earth again Help me, it’s our last night on earth again I’ve been wonderin’ my whole life, How’s this goin’ to end? Help me, it’s our last night on earth again |

I'm so tired in the mornings
I try to go back I try to remember The light appearing Without warning Tying up my hands Like I'm good for nothing If nothing else I can dream I can dream I'll never tell never tell All I've seen Right in front of me Like the ghost of every thing that I could be For the night sky is an ocean Black distant sea Washing up to my window All the stray dog night owl junkies Orphans vagabonds Angels who lost their halos If nothing else I can dream I can dream I'll never tell never tell All I've seen Right in front of me, Like the ghost of every thing that I could be In the cool and callous grip of reality Words in my head Like misfits after midnight Begging for a light Words left unsaid They may never see the light of day And that may be okay If nothing else I can dream |

Whatcha doin' with a suitcase
Tryin' to hit the ground with both feet runnin' Aren't you trippin' on your shoelace You're stealin' away on a sunny day Well aren't you ashamed at all Funny but I feel like I'm fallin' I wanna beg you to stay You're stealin' away on a sunny day Why'd you love me in the first place You were always closer than a brother I can barely look at your face You're stealin' away on a sunny day Well aren't you ashamed at all Funny but I feel like I'm fallin' I wanna beg you to stay You're stealin' away on a sunny day I've said my I've said my I've said my piece I'm on my I'm on my Down on my knees Whatcha doin' with a suitcase Whatcha doin' with a suitcase You're stealin' away on a sunny day Well aren't you ashamed at all Funny but I feel like I'm fallin' I wanna beg you to stay You're stealin' away on a sunny day Whatcha doin' with a suitcase |

Sitting in the rain alone
Looking at a place that's gone Boarded up my memories But something's drawn me here again and I I cannot leave the past alone Hoped that I would never find All the shit I left behind Now I find the child in me Is going to remind me that I I can't forget my past for long So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me I don't want to hear the things You say you know all you've redeemed 'Cause I can't change what's come before Build myself some better dreams And cast off the fear that holds me here So take a look outside yourself And tell me what you see 'Cause I can't believe That you won't see the change in me Give me strength to find the road that's lost in me Give me time to heal and build myself a dream Give me eyes to see the world surrounding me Give me strength to be only me |

What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be Lord knows we've learned the hard way All about healthy apathy I use these words pretty loosely There's so much more to life than words There is a me you would not recognize, dear Call it the shadow of myself And if the music starts before I get there Dance without me, you dance so gracefully I really think I'll be okay They've taken a toll, these latter days Nothing like sleeping on a bed of nails Nothing much here but our broken dream Oh, but baby, if all else fails Nothing is ever quite what it seems And I'm dying inside to leave you With more than just cliches There is a me you would not recognize, dear Call it the shadow of myself And if the music starts before I get there Dance without me, you dance so gracefully I really think I'll be okay They've taken their toll, these latter days They've taken their toll, these latter days Tell them it's real Tell them it's really real I just don't have much left to say They've taken their toll, these latter days They've taken their toll, these latter days |

If this should end tomorrow
All our best laid plans And all our typical fears Am I running out of lifetimes This is not the first time Something ends in just tears But tomorrow I can't imagine How am I supposed to know What's yet to go down Is there only one religion The kind that whispers When nobody comes around The world can wait The world can wait I want to drink the water from your well I want to tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait I want to feel and then some I have five senses I need thousands more at least Every day a page of paper Every night a photograph A moveable feast So fade to black and white now Roll the movie of my life Inside of my head 'Cause like all true believers I am truly skeptical Of all that I have said The world can wait The world can wait I want to drink the water from your well I want to tell you things I'll never tell The world can wait The world can wait I'm wide awake And the world can wait Haven't I said enough Haven't I said far too much Haven't I done enough Haven't I done far too much Far too much The world can wait |

I've lost the words
It ain't my way Takes some a breath What takes me twenty-five years to say Baby you're my favorite rolling stone Elvis left the building I have never been so alone Come on and show me how it feels Come on and show me how it feels Can we make it last can we make it real Come on and show me how it feels It's only me in this flimsy dress I could spread this love from the east to the west The bed is made the world's a mess Maybe we've got it backwards Maybe we should just care less Come on and show me how it feels Come on and show me how it feels Can we make it last can we make it real Come on and show me how it feels I close my eyes I see your face Every inch of your skin I begin to retrace Let me be the voice inside your head Listen to me whisper We can sleep when we're dead Come on and show me how it feels Come on and show me how it feels Can we make it last can we make it real Come on and show me how it feels |

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears I was born to love I'm gonna learn to love without fear Pour me a glass of wine Talk deep into the night Who knows what we'll find Intuition, deja vu The Holy Ghost haunting you Whatever you got I don't mind Put your elbows on the table I'll listen long as I am able There's nowhere I'd rather be Secret fears, the supernatural Thank God for this new laughter Thank God the joke's on me We've seen the landfill rainbow We've seen the junkyard of love Baby it's no place for you and me I was born to laugh I learned to laugh through my tears I was born to love I'm gonna learn to love without fear |

Slow down. Hold still.
It's not as if it's a matter of will. Someone's circling. Someone's moving A little lower than the angels. And it's got nothing to do with me. The wind blows through the trees, But if I look for it, it won't come. I tense up. My mind goes numb. There's nothing harder than learning how to receive. Calm down. Be still. We've got plenty of time to kill. No hand writing on the wall: Just the voice that's in us all. And you're whispering to me, Time to get up off my hands and knees, Cause if I beg for it, it won't come. I find nothing but table crumbs. My hands are empty. God I've been naive. All I need is everything. Inside, outside, feel new skin. All I need is everything. Feel the slip and the grip of grace again. Slow down. Hold still. It's not as if it's a matter of will. Someone's circling. Someone's moving A little lower than the angels. This voice calling me to you: It's just barely coming through. Still, I clearly hear my name. I've been fingering the flame Like tomorrow's martyr. It gets harder to believe. All I need is everything. Inside, outside, feel new skin. All I need is everything. Feel the slip and the grip of grace again. So from now till kingdom come, Taste the words on the tip of my tongue. Cause we can't run truth out of town, Only force it underground. The roots grow deeper In ways we can't conceive. All I need is everything. Inside, outside feel new skin. All I need is everything. Feel the slip and the grip of grace again. All I need is all I need. |

Walking out in the freezing rain
I feel nothing 'cause I numbed the pain I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back On this day Prayed last night Dear God please no But I was never good at letting go I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back On this day Good news can be so unkind When it's everything you have to leave behind I'm lookin' forward to lookin' back On this day In the taillights So much hindsight Telling me what I already know I know |

Is it because I cannot see you
That you feel so free to steal My excess baggage full of darkness and despair While I fumble with my locks You're content to stand and knock Yet I know your knack for thievery is rare Do you know they call it arson Setting fires without permission In my heart for sure and maybe elsewhere too Though your lack of inhibition Captures my imagination I end up a wiser person thanks to you It's coming to fruition The sympathetic vibration Your train is at my station Within without Then there is your flare for murder There's a dagger in the border Of your cloak and I suspect a captain's gun As you put to death suspicions Kindly kill my fears as well Exorcise and slay the demons one by one Though I'm usually pacifistic You are mercifully sadistic And I didn't know that murder could be good But the roses came crimson Springing from the prison Of the floorboards where there once were stains of blood It's coming to fruition The sympathetic vibration Your train is at my station Within without It's calming my suspicion With soothing intuition Your train is at my station Within without Within without Within without Within without |

Confused
Ever since I spied you in the rooms of my mind Now I can’t deny you Bleeding and bruised Like a vagabond in rags i’ve walked the streets to you door To find just what’s in store I see you You and many others in your clean well-lighted place Where I would find disgrace But I do Know i’d find contentment just to be your furniture I need nothing more In the thick of the night take me out of the cold Let me sing inside Like a radio In the thick of the night before we grow too old Let me sing inside Like a radio Shivering and cold this night’s conducive to a Flight into my soul but I stand here Though my heart grows bold Once on the inside I can quietly persist And hold my tears And so still I wait Though I grow much weaker I will not faint I’ll stay true Believe me when I say I’d climb to heaven Crawl beneath the lowest hell To stay near you |
