Rudy's on the midway
And Jacob's in the hole THe monkey's on the ladder The devil shovels coal With crows as big as airplanes The lion has three heads And someone will eat the skind that he sheds ANd the earth died screaming The earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you Well hell doesn't want you And heaven is full Bring me some water Put it in this skull I walk between the raindrops Wait in Bug House Square And the army ants They leave nothin' but the bones And the earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you There was thunder There was lightning Then the stars went out And the moon fell from the sky It rained mackerel It rained trout And the great day of wrath has come And here's mud in your big red eye The poker's in the fire And the locusts take the sky And the earth died screaming While I lay dreaming of you |

Well Pale Face said
To the Eyeball Kid She just goes clank and boom and steam A halo, wings, horns and a tail Shoveling coal inside my dreams There are no laws She's made of cream She's such a scream Qui bon tres bien, nails in cement A Donnie gal from mortal clay The plow is red THe well is full inside The dollhouse of her skull A cheetah coat fills up with steam She's such a scream All crooked lines Her fireplace A milktrain so clean Machine gun haste You'll ride the only wall of shame And drag that chain across the state Her lips are red She is the queen She's such a scream |

Well the time will come
When the wind will shout All stripped down All stripped down And all the sinners know What I'm talking about All stripped down All stripped down When all the creatures of the world Are gonna line up at the gate And you better be on time And you better not be late All stripped All stripped down Well you know in your heart What you gotta bring All stripped down All stripped down No big mink coat No diamond ring All stripped down All stripped down Well take off your paint Take off your rouge All stripped down All stripped down Let your backbone flip And let your spirit shine through I want you all stripped All stripped All stripped down All the men we got Well they're goin' down the drain All stripped down All stripped down And when I see your sadness On a river of shame All stripped down All stripped down You got to raise up Bot the quick and the dead All stripped down All stripped down With no shoes on your feet No hat on your head I want you all stripped down All stripped All stripped down Ain't nothin' in my heart But fire for you All stripped down All stripped down With my rainy hammer And a heart that's true I want you all stripped All stripped All stripped down |

They're lining up
To mad dog your tilta whirl 3 shots for a dollar Win a real live doll All the lies that you tell I believed them so well. Take them back Take them back to your red house For that fearful leap into the dark I did my time In the jail of your arms Now Ophelia wants to know Where she should turn Tell me...what did you do What did you do the last time? Why don't you do that Go on ahead and take this the wrong way Time's not your friend Do you cry. Do you pray Do you wish them away Do you still leave nothing But bones in the way Did you bury the carnival Lions and all Excuse me while I sharpen my nails And just who are you this time? You look rather tired (Who drinks from your shoe) Are you pretending to love Well I hear that it pays well How do your pistol and your Bible and your Sleeping pills go? Are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes? Well I fell in love With your sailor's mouth and your wounded eyes You better get down on the floor Don't you know this is war Tell me who are you this time? Tell me who are you this time? |

Well, Jesus will be here
Be here soon he's gonna cover us up with leaves With a blanket from the moon With a promise and a vow And a lullaby for my brow Jesus gonna be here Be here soon Well I'm just gonna wait here I don't have to shout I have no reason and I have no doubt I'm gonna get myself Unfurled from this mortal coiled up world Because Jesus gonna be here Be here soon I got to keep my eyes open So I can see my Lord I'm gonna watch the horizon For a brand new Ford I can hear him rolling on down the lane I said Hollywood be thy name Jesus gonna be Gonna be here soon Well I've been faithful And I've been so good Except for drinking But he new that I would I'm gonna leave this place better Than the way I found it was And Jesus gonna be here Be here soon |

The Ice Man's mule is parked
Outside the bar Where a man with missing fingers Plays a strange guitar And the German dwarf Dances with the buthcer's son And a little rain never hurt no one And a little rain never hurt no one They're dancing on the roof ANd the ceiling's coming down I sleep with my shovel and my leather gloves A little trouble makes it wurth the going And a little rain never hurt no one The world is round And so I'll go around You must risk something that matters My hands are strong I'll take any man here If it's worth the going It's worth the ride She was 15 years old And never seen the ocean She climbed into a van With a vagabond And the last theing she said Was, "I love you mom." And a little rain Never hurt no one And a little rain Never hurt no one |

There was a murder in the red barn
Murder in the red barn The trees are bending over The cows are lying down The atumn's taking over You can hear the buckshot hounds The watchman said to Reba the loon Was it pale at Manzanita Or Blind Bob the raccoon? Pin it on a drifter They sleep beneath the bridge One plays the violin And sleeps inside a fridge There was a murder in the red barn A murder in the red barn Someone's crying in the woods Someone's burying all his clothes Now Slam the Crank from Wheezer Slept outside last night and froze Road kill has its seasons Just like anything It's possums in the autumn And it's farm cats in the spring There was a murder in the red barn A murder in the red barn Now thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house Or covet thy neighbor's wife But for some Murder is the only door through which they enter life Now they surrounded the house They smoke him out They took him off in chains The sky turned black and bruised And we had months of heavy rains Now the raven's nest in the rotted roof Of Chenoweth's old place And no one's asking Cal About that scar upon his face 'Cause there's nothin' strange About an axe with bloodstains in the barn There's always some killin' You got to do around the farm A murder in the red barn Murder in the red barn Now the woods will never tell What sleeps beneath the trees Or what's buried 'neath a rock Or hiding in the leaves 'Cause road kill has it's seasons Just like anything It's possums in the atumn And it's farm cats in the spring A murder in the red barn A murder in the red barn Now a lady can't do ntohin' Without folks' tongues waggin' Is this blood on the tree Or is it autumn's red blaze When the ground's soft for diggin' ANd the rain will bring all this gloom There's nothing wrong with a lady Drinking alone in her room But there was a murder in the red barn A murder in the red barn |

Take an eye for an eye
Take a tooth for a tooth Just like they say in the Bible Never leave a trace or forget a face Of any man at the table When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone He rides through your dreams on a coach And horses and the fence posts In the midnight look like bones Well they've stopped trying to hold him With mortar, stone and chain He broke out of every prison Boots mount the staircase The door is flung back open He's not there for he has risen He's not there for he has risen Well he once killed a man with a guitar string He's been seen at the table with kings Well he once saved a baby from drowning There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings Some say they fear him Others admire him Because he steals his promise One look in his eye Everyone denies Ever having met him Ever having met him He can turn himself into a stranger Wel lthey broke a lot of canes on his hide he was born away in a cornfield A fever beats in his head like a drum inside Some say they fear him Others admire him Because he steals his promise One look in his eye Everyone denies Ever having met him Ever having met him |

I've grown up here now
All of my life But I dreamed Someday I'd go Where blue eyed girls And red guitars and Naked rivers flow I'm not all I thought I'd be I always stayed around I've been as far as Mercy and Grand Frozen to the ground I can't stay here and I'm scared to leave (Just kiss me once and then) I'll go to hell I might as well Be whistlin' down the wind The bus at the corner The clock's on the wall Broken windmill There's no wind at all I've yelled and I cursed If i stay here I'll rust I'm stuck like a shipwreck Out here in the dust Sky is red And there world's on fire And the corn is taller than me The dog is tied To a wagon of rain And the road is as wet as the sea And sometimes the music from a dance Will carry across the plains And the places that I'm dreaming of Do they dream only of me? There are places where they never sleep And the circus never ends So I will take the Marley Bone Coach And whistle down the wind |

Well there's one thing you can't lose
It's that feel Your pants, your shirt, your shoes But not that feel You can throw it out in the rain You can whip it like a dog You can chop it down like an old dead tree You can always see it When you're coming into town Once you hang it on the wall You can never take it down But there's one thing you can't lose ANd it's that feel You can pawn your watch and chain But not that feel It always comes and finds you It will always hear yo ucry I cross my wooden leg And I swear on my glass eye Itt will never leave you high and dry Never leave you loose It's harder to get rid of than tattoos But there's one thing you can't do Is lose that feel You can throw it off a bridge You can lose it in the fire Yo ucan leave it at the altar But it will make you out a liar You can fall down in the street You can leaveit in the lurch Well you say that it's gospel But I know that it's only church And there's one thing you can't lose And it's that feel It's that feel |
