Astair your glare is killing me
Astair in skies of blue The Signs you wear are making me So confused But the mountains and the trees Are they just what you need Or are they less than what you'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reason why i let you down Before you turn around now now Before you turn around Astair you're there and I'm still here I swear i'm so confused The signs you wear are making me Feel like i'm the one to lose But the canyons and the seas Are they just what you need Or are they less than what you'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reasong why i let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around But the mountains and the trees Are they what you perceive Or are they less than what You'd expect to see And if you're leaving well come Give me reasin why i let you down Before you turn around now, now Before you turn around |

You gave me your word, then you took your word back
Where once I had faith now all I see is black Black seeing black I gave you up rather than giving in Where once there was virtue, it's fallen to sin Black seeing black You gave me your word Then you flew like a bird Never looking back You can run, you can try But you won't get away this time You played me for a fool, in your heart you had deceit I made you up inside my mind, when finally you I meet You had turned black turning black I never could have seen how you'd shoot that 44 You hit me right below the shoulder, I fell to the floor I'm on my back, on my back You shot me with your gun Then you run, run, run, run Never looking back You can run into the street My tire tracks you will soon meet And if you run into the woods I'll chop you down just like a tree I rolled into town from years spent in my sleep The word that the people held was that your price is cheap Your price is cheap, price is cheap The house with the red light on and fancy decor You built your new life hastily so now I find you poor I find you poor, find you poor The sheriff found you out There is guaranteed no doubt You ain't coming back We watched you catch a railroad car That didn't get you very far And when you finally met your match We watched you kiss the railroad tracks Black seeing black |

I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby
I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way I used to do All the stars point me to you and lately they just drive me crazy A universe can be so cruel so baby, baby be my lady Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way I used to do I would shine just like a million suns if you'd just love me baby I'll be in your life again so baby, baby just say maybe Now here I come To dance around the sun I've been oh so blue Stuck behind the moon Now let me in Back where we begin And let me hold you like the way Now let me hold you like the way... Now let me hold you like the way... Now let me hold you like the way... I used to do I used to do I used to do I used to do |

Behind the mountains where the Cuckoo sings
They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it She laid me down in her golden sheets Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again Wanna leave, wanna go That woman is a devil yes I know But i know more than you think I do You got a hole in your face where I can see through you Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves With the bull in your court you're bound To make a mess of me Wanna leave, wanna go That woman is a devil yes I know |

I've heard the story, I'm sure he held you down
Forced you to do things while I'm not around But you lied, yeah you lied But I've got cigarette eyes Feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lie, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell You held a victim under your spell So go hide, well go hide But I've got cigarette eyes I feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling obsessed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes So you've got yourself a bright young girl One who lies with you in bed When she tells you that she likes the weather Don't believe a word that she says no more Out in the country I'm sure no one could tell You held a victim under your spell So go hide, well go hide But I've got cigarette eyes I feel uneasy, I think of you less My mind is so restless and I'm feeling depressed Oh my, oh my, to see you with that spy You lied, but I know cause I've got cigarette eyes |

I've been waiting, pacing along the halls ever since you left here
I've been cleaning, scrubbing the plates and weeding out the garden dear I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure All the birds are heading down south but you're staying up north you say I've got jackets blankets and sheets, its going to be a cold december It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldn't see I couldn't see If only time could slow down maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december It's so cold I can't fall asleep to your mystery slowly blowing from the shore I have not failed to be what you'd expect of me Swallowing glass just to stay pure Summers come and summer has gone Your christmas cards can't comfort me You've found new friends and tied all the ends It's freezing in the loneliest winter It could be warm you see, a statue next to me Swimming away from the ice and snow Could I have failed to see the signs in front of me Warning and flashing symbols, subtle and simple I couldnt see I couldnt see If only time could slow down, then maybe I could come up It's such a cold december It's such a cold december It's so cold |

If I wait long enough someone might come out
If I tried I could be somebody else So I follow false prophets walking down my street To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall Don't bury my feet so I can't run I'll be your martyr in bells Well I've walked in your steps and held my breath Until your words reached the air Then I lied with the poets face first in the street When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep But it's all in the downfall of me, all in the downfall So I follow false prophets walking down my street To keep, keep me busy so soundly I sleep I lied with the poets face first in the street When the world cast it's shadow I became it's sheep But it's all been the downfall, it's all been the downfall It's all been the downfall of me All in the downfall |

Skin's turning green, eyes are turning yellow
The Doctor stays rich because I'm a sickly fellow Got the hypochondriac blues I need your medicine to soothe Creams and pills they've got nothing on you Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure Easily obsess on an open sore Doctor, Doctor, can't get no relief This losing sleep is misery Won't you come and rescue me? Doctor, Doctor Spent the last week in my bed started feeling symptoms My psychiatrist fills me up with a new prescription Tell me where I went wrong It felt too good for too long Honey you got the remedy for me Well Doctor Doctor can't get no relief And this losing sleep is misery Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure Easily obsess on an open sore I don't want to be sick no more Doctor, Doctor My heart's made of glass, mama don't you break it I knew that I made a mistake when I let you take it Now this pain is only for you I need your medicine to soothe Creams and pills they've got nothing on you Well call me the Doctor and give me the cure But come back mama I'm feeling withdrawal Please take my emergency call How long must I wait held up in depression? I tried to erase my past, to make a good impression But my broken horn's lost the tune And only shattered mirrors fill my room Fell for you and only got me down Well Doctor Doctor come give me the cure Easily obsess on an open sore Doctor Doctor can't get no relief This losing sleep is misery Won't you come and rescue me? Doctor, Doctor |

I must confess this blood in my chest
I've made a great mistake so cruel One, two, three there's an owl on me I'm searching for the way it used to be Why don't you give yourself to me, I I've got a deal for you But Ph yes I've a lot to confess, Drowning far away from home Tied to a heart of stone Darling my days are so bleak Pretending that you're still alive, Lonely nights, this mariner cries He's drowning in desperate tides, because This solitary mindset has left me cursed in fame But oh death I would give my last breath Drowning far away from home My sinking heart of stone Oh death can I breathe my last breath Yes yes I'd like to confess Because this solitary mindset has left me cursed with fate But oh death Can't breathe my last breath Drowning far away from home Stuck with my heart of stone |

Rats they run across the field, crows rest in the tree
Barking madly at each other Standing from the rooftop i scream "Won't you bark for me?" As you turn your back and fly away Caught on the fence you've left behind Dive into an empty pool, I've tried Oh I've tried Oh I tried writing with nothing in return When the wind freed me from the roots that tied me down Now I need them back for comforting Carvings that we left in branches scarred up on this tree Lingering are thoughts you left with me Calling the phone that you ignore Slowly walking backwards from your door Oh I've tried Now we are done fighting, it's time that you return Candle lit small light inside your window that I see Hoping that the light still shines for me Standing on the curbside I scream "Please come back!" As you turn your back and fly away Groundhogs digging with their claws Burying their loves with dirty paws Oh I've tried There's no igniting, my head is in the dirt |

You were right, I was up all night
Thinking about you Dreamed I choked on your kaleidoscope Now you still look deadly My fatal flower how the tigers all laughed As I ran along the well worn paths Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs Down on me, down on me, down on Insincere as we rolled for years in turning barrels I washed my hands in the lake As you blew it all away with roman candles So take your fever, let me wallow alone The callus on your eyes have grown Sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs Down on me, down on me, down on And your faults have me stoned Paying rent to your ghost Torn up by a frightened little girl I thought that you were right So I was up all night thinking about you I thought that you were right, you were right You were right, you were You were right, and I was up all night Thinking about you And I couldn't speak Covered with bees you flew above me Figured it all out, I think you've had enough time I've had long enough to change my mind And a sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs Down on me, down on me, down on And your faults have me stone Paying rent to your ghost Torn up by a frightened little girl I thought that you were right And I was up all night thinking about you You were right, so I was up all night Thinking about you I thought you were right, you were right You were right, you were |

You still don't believe, you don't believe You don't believe, and your grievances show When your soap box unfolds But please, come down From that cloud your sitting on I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong Just wanna know how you've been And don't make me feel bad that we're still friends Mulling it over in my bed I hope that you see through your picket I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence To make amends And still be friends Still be my friend So where did you go, where did you go? Where did you go, while I was out? While I was out, while I was out? Well, I don't believe, I don't believe I don't believe everything I see And if you don't like the movie, then quit acting But please, come down From that cloud your sitting on I don't expect you to admit that you were wrong Just wanna know how you've been And don't make me feel bad that we're still friends Mulling it over in my bed I hope that you see through your picket I hope that you see through your big yard and white picket fence To make amends And still be friends Still be friends Still be my friend Still be my friend Still be my friend |

Burnt trees on a snowy pass
All my friends are far behind I'm stuck with you tonight But I'd be better alone So come on wheels take me far away Where I don't have debts to pay I can't count on yesterday to find the way home I know it happens all the time But they don't have my back So I'm never looking back Plumes of smoke rise high above Burned bridges lost in luck I guess it's all because They're found on the fault On sandy ground Foundations can't be found And all the stones of change were thrown in my face I know it happens all the time I heard them talk behind my back So I'm never looking back I know it happens all the time I heard them talk behind my back So I'm never looking back |

Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head
Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use, my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas, I know I'm not the only one So dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Sometimes it rains, sometimes it pours Sometimes I'm not that sure But anytime you look at me Your thoughts I cant ignore The second hand would pass us by Should one of us had blinked But in a minute realize that true love always waits My dear, oh dear My head it tends to stray away, sometimes I cant see clear Oh dear, oh dear In spite of all the things I said, I always want you near Early in the morning clouds are dropping on my head Remind me the things last night I should have left unsaid So please forgive the words I use my mind it tends to run Away with the small ideas I know I'm not the only one |

I'm waiting in the pines
I'm waiting in the forest Pilon at my side The treasure lies before us And so we started walking We knew they couldn't harm us And how the wind is crying When misty morning dawn breaks We'll walk back to the flats With gallons in our hands We're walking in the fields We're working on the farms We do just like our fathers How can they take that from us? And so we started driving We had no choice to leave this The bowl was left behind us For Hooverville's before us Three hundred thousand Bodies who can't rest Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey Up to Monterey So I started driving And left my home behind me The row there kept reminding Of pages in your writing Sweet Thursday is calling me back up to Monterey Up to Monterey |

With an upwind facing starboard
I was unsure of where to go The salt burns my skin And your eyes were cold as the ocean This is our day today Won't you find the way back to these arms And we're bound for where we started With a down wind course through the harbor At sunset I was sorry That this was our day today This is our day today Why can't you find the way Won't you find the way back to these arms Are we bound for where we started 'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up The start is where we're bound And we're bound to end up where the start's at And when twilight turned darkness I was unsure of where to go The salt burns my skin And your eyes were cold as the ocean This is our day today Can you find the way back to these arms This is our day today Won't you find the way back to these arms |

I talk with my friend over the phone,
I'm scared to say things I don't know and be wrong, And words always sound much better coming out of someone else But put it in a song and know that we can get along I'm trying to lose, lose my mind When it's gone I'll tell you where it went About the extent of it's stay Strum a few chords and use my voice And make this song with the hopes that you'd play along, along <i>[whistling]</i> And look at the ones before me Some say I waste my time But normal life seems so boring, So trying to lose my mind Well I met a girl, She didnt like my song She told me that old songs are better She played me her favorite records This is how I repayed her I said it's okay to some but I hope that you can sing alone alone And look at the ones before me Some say I waste my time But normal life seems so boring so im trying to lose my mind. |

Your surprises wear disguises
All of your truths masquerade around on Hallow's Eve So I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces So impressed by you undressing Did you take his hand aside from love? The truth would break me in two I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces This is the voice that's scared to hear those names So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space I'll take it kindly if you'd blind me Holding inside the thoughts I have inquisitively wondering I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces But this is the voice that's scared to hear those names So this is the void we'll leave a hole in space I'll never know what you show to unfamiliar faces |

Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings Heavens high, so you fly Catch your dreams in the sky But the glaciers have frozen your feet I can't wait for eternity And so you watched me wash away But maybe we'll catch up someday Maybe well catch up someday Sun sinks out of view Stars they shine changing hue But bright lights have blinded your sights They cant adjust when day turns to night And so you watched me wash away But maybe well catch up someday The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away But maybe we'll come back someday Maybe we'll come back someday Float down stream, rivers of dreams Float down stream, catch your wings The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away Maybe well come back someday The castles we built were so tall They only left us further to fall And still I see them far away As I watch them wash away Wash away... Wash away... Wash away... Wash away... |
