You woke up in the rusted frame of a burned out old Deville
Your legs are shot and they’re flushed with pain, but you can’t keep them still The sun sets and you’re afraid, of that itching in your skin You stumble down the boulevard, a neon encrusted temple You’re looking for the grace of God in the arms of a fellow stranger Deciples handing catalogues of concubines as you, stumble down the boulevard Crying, hosanna Welcome to Fabulous, Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sin Las Vegas Didn’t nobody tell you, the house will always win Cameras on the ceiling tile, no place for you to hide A hundred and seven And you’re looking for shade that no palm tree can provide But there’s a little girl you remember back in Tennessee You have this reoccurring dream where you see her playing hide and seek With a woman who, used to know you very well Sunsets and neon lights Call girls and neon lights Black jack and lady luck Cocaine and lady luck You call upon her Unholy need tonight In Las Vegas Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sin Las Vegas Didn’t nobody tell you, didn’t nobody tell you, didn’t nobody tell you The house will always win |

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life There in the distance Losing its greatest pride Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why? Where did the bow break? It happened before your time And there were people there Lovely as you’d ever care Tonight, baby, you can start again Laughing in the open air Have yourself another dream Tonight, baby, we can start again Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own Mother, it’s cold here Father, thy will be done Thunder and lightning are crashing down They got me on the run Direct me to the sun Redemption, keep my covers clean tonight Baby, we can start again Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own And the sun will shine again And the sun will shine again Are you looking for a sign? Or are you caught up in the lie? Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own Only the young can break away, break away Lost when the wind blows, on your own |

to moonn6pence from papayeverte
You let me in to your life unaware that there was magic and fire in the night And back then I was just a little boy I made mistakes that caused you so much pain All I know is that I’m older now Some people think that it’s best to refrain from the conventions of old-fashioned love Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness They tell themselves that they’re too young to settle down Girl I promise you I’m older now And this has been hard enough on you I know it’s been hard enough on me In telling myself that I can roll with the changes And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough on you It’s been hard enough on me I wasn’t looking when we built these walls When we spread my dreams at your feet Let’s not let times build the flood rise Before my thoughts begin to run I think I’m getting older now And this has been hard enough on you I know it’s been hard enough on me In telling myself that I can roll with the changes And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough on you It’s been hard enough on me Can’t stand the thought of another,talking to you sweet my dear Where would I be tonight if you hadn’t held me here, in your arms? And this has been hard enough on you I know it’s been hard enough on me In telling myself that I can’t roll with the changes And when the water gets high above your head Darling don’t you see, While this has been hard enough on you to moonn6pence from papayeverte |

Is there anyone out there? Somewhere I can belong Man the city just ain't so kind tonight I need a place to take refuge See I been loving you blind And I guess that made it hard for me to find Now we were caught up in the middle of a worn out dream I knew we were in trouble but baby I almost screamed When I saw you dancing On the moon now I watched him spin you round and round Why did you roll your dice? Show your cards? Jilted lovers and broken hearts You're flying away, while I'm stuck here on the ground Is there anyone out there? Somewhere I can belong Man the city just ain't so kind, tonight And if I had my suspicions I kept them out of my heart Just wished I would of known right from the start That you'd be speaking in riddles and you'd never confide You know I knew we were in trouble but honey I almost cried When I saw you dancing On the moon now I watched him spin you round and round Why did you roll your dice? Show your cards? Jilted lovers and broken hearts You're out on the wind and I'm still waiting to be found. You did a fine job of hiding That crooked ace up your sleeve You doubled down my direction You kiss me on the cheek and leave I followed you through the darkness I followed you through the cold Woman I can tell you one thing You're gonna wish you could go back and fold Why did you roll your dice? Show your cards? Jilted lovers and broken hearts You're flying away, while I'm stuck here on the ground Why did you roll your dice? Show your cards? Jilted lovers and broken hearts You're out on the wind and I'm still waiting to be found. Will I ever win? Only time can tell You got to suffer to remember how well That are our ideals never really marched in time That's the bottom line Jilted lovers and broken hearts |

Daddy, I'm not gonna tell you that I'm sorry,
But there aint nothin you can do to change my mind. I'm not here to know the things I cannot do, We've seen the outcome of the Boy's Who Didn't Fly. That road outside that you've been taking home forever, That'll be same road that I'll take when I depart. Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together May twist & turn but somewhere deep there is a heart. Playing with fire You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight And you're out on a wire You know we're playing with fire I see his calling as the channel of invention, I will not blush if others see it as a crime. However dangerous the road, however distant, These things won't compromise the will of the design. Ten thousand Demons hammer down with every footstep, Ten thousand Angels rush the wind against my back. The church of mine may not be recognised by steeple, That doesn't mean that I will walk without a God. Oh well River of Truth, can you spare me a sip? The holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip. I've got this burning belief in Salvation and love It's not you make me naive, but if push comes to shove I will till this ground You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight Oh woah oh woah woah (Out on a wire) I might not get there. This little town, this little house, They seem to be leaning in the wrong direction I'm not afraid of you no more. Playing with fire You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight And you're out on a wire You know we're playing with fire |

Me and Valentina went down to the chapel but the gates were shut
I had my vows in my pocket and a gold plated ring for my honey love We headed down Tropicana to the corner with a late night restaurant We sat across from each other when I looked in her eyes there was something gone Was it something that I said or did? Was it something that I should have kept hid If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do It doesn't matter who's wrong or right In the clear of a blue moonlight You got me on my knees Valentina this is not like you I got a job at the nugget and I saved a thousand dollars for a brand new start She said: I didn't wanna do it but I did it cuz I didn't want to break your heart The waiter whispered when he said we had to take the conversation to the parking lot Please baby, please Valentina, baby you're the only thing I got Was it something that I said or did? Was it something that I should have kept hid If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do It doesn't matter who's wrong or right In the clear of a blue moonlight You got me on my knees Valentina this is not like you I hear church bells ringing in my head and I'd take them everywhere I'd go Valentina met a dealer and I heard they had a baby five months ago Was it something that I said or did? Was it something that I should have kept hid If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do It doesn't matter who's wrong or right In the clear of a blue moonlight You got me on my knees Valentina don't say it's true This is not like you |

Please don't tell me I can't make it
It aint gonna do me any good And please don't offer me your modern method By fixing the carpets out of wood From Nogales to Magdalena There are 60 miles of sacred road And the promise is made to those who venture San Francisco lift your load In the land of old Sonora A shallow river valley cries The summer left her without forgiveness It's mirrored in her children's eyes Prodigle sons and wayward daughters Carry mandalas that they made He delivered from the debts of darkness And born again by candlelight And born again my candlelight Blisters on my feet Wooden rosary I fell them in my pocket as I ran A bullet in the night A feather of his life San Francisco do you understand Tell them that I've made the journey And tell them that my heart is true Not like his blessing or forgiveness Before the angels send it through And I will know that I am clean know And I will dance and the band will play And the old And if I should fall to temptation Will I return to evil throws From Nogales to Magdalena As a two time beggar I will go And I know I can't be forgiven the broken heart of Mexico |

There’s a still in the street outside your window You’re keepin’ secrets on your pillow Let me inside, no cause for alarm I promise tonight not to do no harm I promise you baby,I won't be no harm And we're caught up in the crossfire A heaven and hell And were searching for shelter Lay your body down... Watching your dress as you turn down the light I forget all about the storm outside Dark clouds roll their way over town Heartache and pain came pouring down like Chaos in the rain, yeah They're handing it out And we're caught up in the crossfire Heaven and hell And were searching for shelter Lay your body down... Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came His fire he airs all through their beating vein. And when the hardest part is over we'll be here And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears Boundaries of our fears Lay your body down(6x) Next to mine.... |

When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low Settling in my room I'm unnoticed When the still comes in through my window Letting me go I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor On the floor Where the rats all come away clean They're on the floor Where the children all stomped and screamed Straight out the door Well I find my self on my kness Begging please When the lights go down in the city And everyone goes to their room Walking the trail To dreamland When the lights go down in the city Something is roaring I find myself Waiting to believe On the floor Where the mice call shots in the corner, that's where I'll be When the crickets come home and sign their symphony When I find myself on my knees Begging please On the floor They've seen the things I've done here on the floor Where the years have gathered and run that's where I'll be And I find myself on my knees Begging please |

Seek out the light between
Time and confusion glowing up ahead Instead of slipping through You bit off more, much more than you could chew You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down And take the time to evolve You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down We had a lot to learn Table manners and grace, how to wait your turn when Time came to clear your slate You had too much, had too much on your plate You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down And take the time to evolve You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down Take your medicine and crawl before you walk Think it through before you open you open your mouth to talk Be an advocate of joy Find your little heart's desire and Follow it Whoa baby you're not ready, slow down And take the time to evolve You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down (Baby you're not ready! ) You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, slow down And take the time to evolve You could not Swallow It No baby you're not ready, now (Slow down! ) No, no, no, no! Don't be afraid, this is your year It's gonna be alright, you're a performer Just take your time, but not too much time No, no, no, no! |

The teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
About the man that you’d become and the positions you’d hold But this was long before you and Jackie Geronimo met in the Prelude Park at midnight Now when it came to bells and whistles, Jackie did not lack And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack When you drink with your buddies on the weekend And the weeks fly by and the years roll on You spend your whole life dropping nickels in the bucket, wakin’ up at dawn And while Jackie bestowed the joys of finger-lickin’ The clock up on the wall was tickin’ You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors But Jackie had a baby, then she had five more They’d pay you just enough to drag your ass to the store To buy bread, milk and Better Homes and Gardens Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams A cottage in the country built with real wood beams There’s a baby in the bedroom, he’s starting to scream She holds him though he probably won’t remember it And the weeks fly by and the years roll on Sometimes dreams are all you got to keep you going when the day gets long And you gave up so many just to make a livin’ That clock up on the wall was tickin’ Now the kids are all grateful when they left the nest And Jackie wasn’t perfect but she did her best You seize the opportunity to get you some rest But you can’t sleep on account of screaming grandkids The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye You’re starting to discover it’s a great big lie They'll work you like a dog 'til you quit or you die But you can’t quit cause Jackie needs the benefits And the weeks fly by and the years roll on They say patience is a virtue but the doctor says she don’t have long You stood up and tried your damnedest not to listen But that clock up on the wall was tickin’ When they told you to clear the room, that’s when it hit you You watched as the caravan took your sweetheart away The arguments and fights and money troubles seem so worthless As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave And the weeks fly by and the years roll on The house is quiet now and everything inside it seems to know she’s gone There’s a picture of you both sixteen years old just kissing And that clock up on the wall was tickin’ You always thought she had a chance and it was somewhere hidden Now you’ve come to the conclusion that she never did Not a chance, that is |

Slow down your mind
Fill the unknown spaces with truth and light If you can find the time, time seems so slow Now we’re stuck here asking, where did it go? (And where do we come from?) And what are we here for? But there we were looking out some country window And although we had our problems, we were fine The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted Let me be your comet, I will fly Summertime so sweet Luxuries of childhood were on our feet In the sun sun sun Baby run run run Baby run run run Baby run run run Games will be portrayed But there we were looking out some country window And although we had our problems, we were fine The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted Let me be your comet, I will fly The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted Let me be your comet, I will fly I’ve been to Jacksonville I’ve been to Monterrey I’ve felt a mother’s love I’ve seen the colors change I’ve cried a million tears I’ve caused a million more I’ve been to Jacksonville There we were looking out some country window And although we had our problems, we were fine |

I came here thinking I could ease the pain
I came in spite of others’ good advice I came here thinking sweet, sweet revenge Bring me some sugar, let the games begin I made a lot of bad decisions but tonight I’m breaking through I came here to get over you I had this dream about a wild bird Black feathered picking at your beating heart You reach for me and shout, “I need your love!” Yet soon collapses when I call your bluff Picking at your heart strings I need your love I started shaking when you told me that you found somebody new I came here to get over you And the lights are burning like kerosene I can’t stop thinking about you and me Did you cross your fingers when you told me you’d be true? I came here to get I came here to get I came here to get over you I came here to get over you I came here to get over you I came here to get over you I made a lot of bad decisions but tonight I’m breaking through |

As by the door to get to Heaven
Seven trumpets big and bright You hear it coming in the middle of the night A caution to the children Time to turn your crimson white We’ve all got reservations Trials will come suddenly And without explanation But you were born with goodness You were born with goodness Wherever you go now I’m right behind you In the light of hope I’ll be beside you On that dusty road And if you get blind, well that’s all right Wicked winds blow with grace and might Cling to the ways of my name When you touch the stone Break your word over me Sinking in the quicksand Break your word Don’t you see? You’re breaking me down now I’m right behind you In the light of hope I’ll be beside you on that dusty road When no one expects you to deny And no one accepts your reasons why You cling to the ways of my name When you touch the stone No one expects you to deny And no one accepts your reasons why You cling to the ways of my name When you touch the stone |
