Looking down from the apple tree
My hands tied in back of me With this rope below my chin We don't fear death my adrian Trust me son that one day soon You'll be on the bottom where the boat breaks through To let our freedom in again We don't fear death my adrian From now on i am part of you I am the story that you'll tell Let my life empower you Let my troubles teach you well Let your burning hatred go Learn yourself until you know That fear is where all hatred begins We don't fear death my adrian From now on i am part of you I am the story that you'll tell Let my life empower you Let my troubles teach you well As they set my last breath free Turn your eyes but don't fail to see The love you feel inside your skin We don't fear death my adrian We don't fear death my adrian |

This is a bullet from a gun called "what the fuck?"
If i was standing in your shoes i'd throw my hands straight up And start explaining at the speed of light, not sound How the words get some coffee came to mean get down And all the kings horses and all the kings yen Couldn't stop the abracadabra that invites these men And all the alleyways in amsterdam could not compete Against the wall street speed with which you leave your feet Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like our house going up in smoke Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips Everytime the phone rings you get there first And when the pizza man comes you always run for your purse Now i'm the son of a banker, i know just what the deal is If you wrote it out in braille, i wouldn't even have to feel it Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like our house going up in smoke Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips Funny how goodbye can sound so sad sometimes Today it sounds happy like a nursery rhyme And you're not cinderella, so don't forget your shoes I've never been as lonely as when i was with you Oh yes, this song is a scream Funny like our loving doused in gasoline Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips This is fireman mcneil from the hennepin line We got the call around ten, we couldn't get there in time There was a driveway leading to a hole in the ground I got the heebies bone deep and turned the truck straight around Oh yes, this song is a joke Funny like my fingers in your bicycle spokes Funny like the bomb between my teeth when we kiss You pulled out the pin with your own sweet lips |

I'm just a student of this life, just like my father.
And I am a stranger to this heart, just like my mother. Oh, and brother you should know, That this heart's still filled with sadness and regret. But I'm learning as I go To forgive the things that I just can't forget. Sometimes this heart is made of glass And I often find myself Living only in the past Thinking mostly of myself. But I'll believe you when you say, That these are things that time can heal. And this beating in my heart Says this love we have is real. And all of these wishes, I once lost, are now returning. And all of the demons, I have fought, are slowly turning. Oh, and brother you should know That there is no one in this world who feels no pain. But I'm learning as I go To accept the things that I've no power to change. All of these streets are heading out And this old song's no longer blue, And although nothing's figured out It looks like we've both made it through. If there were one thing I could ask, I would ask you where you've been. 'Cause I still wonder where you were, When this whole big ship sank in. |

Sitting on a bench in an old time station
Waiting for a train to forgiveness I've brought no baggage, i've come here alone Looking for a way to forgiveness All these broken pieces of arrows in my side I thought i could run with them, i know now i can't hide, so I'm looking out upon the darkness down the tracks Looking for the light of forgiveness Call it bad company, call it what you will My heart just won't let you go, i care for you even still Sadness and death, they both come along So i sing this song called forgiveness All these broken families, people taking sides Hardly even bothered me, i never even cried, so I'm crying on a bench in an old time station Betting all i've got on forgiveness |

The streets were fast and filled with flames Kids were screaming Talk to me, please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go Standing by the empty creek, fish are flipping The air is hot and filled with sun My head is swimming Talk to me please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go If you fail me please don't fail me now Trapped beneath twisted steel My legs are broken I look at you, i'm waiting for Your eyes to open Talk to me please i beg you I'm a wounded man All is lost if trust is broken Help me understand Promise me that you won't let me go |

I thought i could live forever here on my own
It seemed things were so much better out here alone A lonely dreamer, a nonbeliever, now I'm living in the moment with the friends i love I knew i could feel more power living life without love So i spent my days and hours looking for heaven above The only thing that i found was my feet on the ground, so I'm living in the moment with the friends i love Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it Money, why do you say what you say, you don't mean it, you don't mean it Some say we'll all be rewarded when we reach the end And all our lives will be recorded and replayed again One day it hit me, this ain't a movie, now I'm living in the moment with the friends i love |

Oh, my heart is a thoroughbred
I can't sleep in my bed Everything is burning up inside me I need something i can feel Cigarettes and a driving wheel and Oh, my god, when you cross your legs beside me I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else When it all comes down to kerosene And sorry signs on cash machines And it don't look like anything you've dreamed of I won't let you give it up With sorry sighs and forced bad luck Come on baby, you know what we're made of I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else And all these burning battlefields are now behind us Life has brought us here together to remind us That love will rise above it all and just keep growing Life keeps flowing, and every moment starts right here with us I know true love don't love like anybody else I know your heart don't beat like anybody else |

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Baltimore hotel society gath'rin' And the cops were brought in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears William Zanzinger, who at twenty-four years Owns a tobacco farm, six hundred acres With rich wealthy parents who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Maryland Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears Hattie Carroll was a maid of the kitchen She was fifty-one years old and gave birth to ten children Who carried the dishes and took out the garbage And never sat once at the head of the table And didn't even talk to the people at the table Who just cleaned up all the food from the table And emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level Got killed by a blow, lay slain by a cane That sailed through the air and came down through the room Doomed and determined to destroy all these gentle And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Take the rag away from your face Now ain't the time for your tears In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom Stared at the person who killed for no reason Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin' And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance William Zanzinger with a six-month sentence Oh, but you who philosophize Disgrace and criticize all fears Bury the rag deep in your face Now's the time for your tears |

Early morning I could hear the wind in the trees I was looking for the light to bring you out From the shadows Redefine you now for only me And honey i'm sure That you've been in love before Plenty of men have held high places in your eyes And jealousy has got no use for me The past is beautiful Like the darkness between the fireflies I was driving faster through the appalachians I could see the world go out below me in the sun You should know by now That someone's always been there Long before you You're never going to be the only one And honey i'm sure That you've been in love before Plenty of men have held high places in your eyes But jealousy has got no use for me The past is beautiful Like the darkness between the fireflies Beautiful like the darkness between the fireflies |

High above a monastery Where the bells are ringing slow To say farewell when hours go And all the while I'm dreaming of The ballad for my one true love Searching for the perfect way to say I love you Sweetheart, this is my dream come true And god bless the babies That sleep in you God bless the babies That sleep in you Sleeping in a motel room Underneath a silver moon With the windows open wide I can hear the stars go by And all the while I 'm dreaming of The ballad for my one true love Searching for the perfect way to say I love you Sweetheart, this is my dream come true And god bless the babies That sleep in you God bless the babies That sleep in you |

And ohhh, when I saw her, darkness fled from me, it flew like a black bird into the sun, on the day she married me. Dear God, Dear God, I remember climbing up your shoulders, and coming up under you like a lion and coming down like we were dieing, Dear God. But now the drum birds come for me, Oh now the drum birds come for me, And Lord give me forgiveness for all that I have done, forgive me now, of the way that I beg, keep me on the run, Dear God, Dear God, I remember climbing up your shoulders, and coming up under you like a lion and coming down, like we were dieing, Dear God. |

I was following through on a letter you sent I always feared that you'd be true True to yourself to the bitter end It just kinda happened, or so she says She was drinking and lonely, you know the rest And he meant nothing, he was happenstance She says she loves me still and wants a second chance But i don't wanna be together I don't wanna be apart I don't want none of this love for you honey Deep, deep down in my heart Where is my golden crown That you took and passed around There's no telling what a man might do With a life like this when it all falls through I don't wanna be together I don't wanna be apart I don't want none of this love for you honey Deep, deep down in my heart You were my dream come true Can't you see what you've put me through The love that tears me apart Still beats deep, deep down in my heart Deep, deep, deep down in my heart |

After all this useless fighting, after all our schemes
We could sense a final battle and started picking teams Due to lack of good direction, i fell in with thieves And took to drinking as religion and landed on my knees Truth that starts as understanding finds you in the night And circles all around the ceiling a frightened bird in flight After spending hours beneath it, everything comes clear Truth will pose no danger to you, what hunts you both is fear Somewhere in our everafter telephones still ring Somewhere in future journals, love still means something I have learned a mighty lesson from this change of plans Loss is brutal, i can't stand it, i wonder how you can And all the while there's dogs a-barking Streets are talking out my window Out the light and the snow is flaking, hearts are breaking Words are making a mess out of these Thoughts i'm thinking, boats keep sinking It's drown or keep drinking And if this darkness came from light Then light can come from darkness i guess If this darkness came from light Then light can come from darkness i guess |

I woke up at 4:35 still jet lagged from another plane ride
And opened my window over bondi beach Where all the stars seemed out of reach And recognized none but the southern cross Sitting on my bed with the light turned off Till i found a sweet song on the little clock radio and it made me cry Singing have some faith, have some faith And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be Bottles on the table and socks on the floor Trying to remember what i started this for When a surfer friend of mine came and picked me up And we paddled out as the sun was coming up Talking about how everybody has to find Something that gives them the strength to be alive And out laying on our boards in the southern hemisphere, he said to me Gotta have some faith, have some faith And i don't know what i want but i know where i want to be And everywhere i go, i wish you were here with me Stars hang on tiny strings, my dreams are made of memories Once everything made sense, now i get so alone that i can't sleep Will somebody please tell me if this is where i'm supposed to be |

How deep is that river? How deep is that river?
I don't wanna know where it's coming from I don't need to know where it's going to Before I place my trust in You I just wanna know, how deep? God said to me what He said to the tree Grow up towards the light and one day you'll see My son Jesus, what did He say? Love the Lord, your God and God will show you the way Do unto others like you wanna be done Look deep in your heart and know that we are one Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river? I don't wanna know how fast it flows I don't need to know if it's safe to swim Before I put my trust in Him I just wanna know, how deep? God came down in the cool of the day Stirred up the waters and began to play Before He knew it, man was on the land With a thought in his head, and a gun in his hand God saw that man was just a little too rough So He gave him a heart and filled it up with love Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes I don't wanna know if it has a name I don't need to know how to cross it yet Before I get my spirit wet I just wanna know, how deep, alright A few years back I lost my way I was deep in the woods, I began to pray I came to a river and I sat on its bank It was cool and clear, I have Jesus to thank I drank that water, yes, I drank it up Now every day I come back and fill my cup Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river?Yes I don't wanna know if it's yours or mine I don't need to know if it's east or west Before I put my fears to rest I just wanna know how deep How deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes I don't wanna know where it's coming from I don't need to know where it's going to Before I place my trust in you I just wanna know how deep I just wanna know how deep I just wanna know how deep |

When I got off the bus it was six in the evening
Snow was blowing across the intersection For the last six hours I've been lost in a book So it took me a second to remember what I was doing Standing in the middle of a bustling sidewalk Under barren branches silhouetted by street lamps I reached into my overcoat pocket And brought out a letter with your address on it And I may be dreaming but I've come to you I have nowhere else to run How you gonna say what's never been said? I'll tell you how it's done You just look into your eyes You look into your eyes And follow 'em down, you gotta follow 'em down Till the streets are lined with trees On the last block there's a little blue house It's the only house I see And up in the window a light still shines Your daddy showed you what was wrong with life I wanna show you how to make it right Hey, hey baby, I'm in your city Tonight |

Underneath the lilac tree I close my eyes and suddenly I'm ten years old and running through An open field, chasing after you Sounds of summer fill my ears If I live 10,000 years I'll never feel as good as this Moments before our first kiss There is nothing to demand No algebra to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face And everything in its right place Simple things turn magical Minutes freeze like Popsicles And drip their seconds down our shirts I love you so much it hurts There's no such thing as real time I've been yours and you've been mine And we've lived ever happily Everywhere I've been you've been with me There is nothing to control No question mark left on our souls Just sunlight on a freckled face There is nothing to demand No politics to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face Everything in its right place Everything in its right place And I want to give you a brand new sky Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real I want to show you how you make me feel I want to give you a brand new dream Where two horses drink from a silver stream As the trees catch fire they lift their heads And bolt together through the forest across our beds I want to bring you the fields of flowers I want to build you Eiffel Towers Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars Set you free, yeah |

When I got home there was blood on the door.
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor. I ran down the hall and when I saw what he did and found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I didn't bother picking up the phone. I'm gonna get there first, I want you all alone. There's gonna be blood on the wall and a ? Your scripture won't save you when my gun's in your mouth. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I was eighteen when I first came here. Me and my brother trying to disappear. He chose the profit, baby, I chose you. From that day I feared what he could do. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I took the corner then I gunned it hard. I drove my truck into your front yard. You came out running but I was too fast. I took out your legs and dropped you in the grass. There were people outside, I heard somebody scream. My whole life became a movie screen. I remembered us jumping on our momma's bed. She was yelling be careful or you'll bump your head. I put my gun up under your chin. My hand was shaking so I dug it in. You started laughing, said I understand. You wish you couldn't but I know you can. You can. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. |

Here in your arms there's a desert where it always rains As your legs begin to spread, how I wish I was not dead Standing backwards to the blood of man Babies in jars, luxury cars, seasons that don't come true Happiness waits outside the gates, watching each thing we do Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild? Are you calling for the blood of man? I'll keep my dreams in the river tonight Under the rocks and stones they will be alright I'll hide my dreams in the river tonight Under the rocks and moss, there they will be alright Where did you go? Oh, please come back I miss you so, oh Where did you go? Oh, please come back I miss you so, oh Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild? Are you calling for the blood of man? |

My mom'd give me twenty and say stay out till dawn
When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard And roll my own tops and think two kind of a thoughts Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know That was the summer dave's girlfriend OD'ed She died in the bathroom at a party down the street I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo He was watching home movies of her His face was wet, he looked so confused They had a funeral for her The preacher said she was with the Lord There were lots of pictures of her Taped to a poster board Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know Are we high enough to clear this place? I don't know Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down I wound up that fall in a hospital On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing They had a sign on the wall that said no touching at all There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall On the night that I got there they showered me and searched me hard Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know Are we high enough to clear this place? I don't know Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light High school halls and shopping malls never did me right But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex We used to run at night naked through the trees And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off |

Underneath the lilac tree I close my eyes and suddenly I'm ten years old and running through An open field, chasing after you Sounds of summer fill my ears If I live 10,000 years I'll never feel as good as this Moments before our first kiss There is nothing to demand No algebra to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face And everything in its right place Simple things turn magical Minutes freeze like Popsicles And drip their seconds down our shirts I love you so much it hurts There's no such thing as real time I've been yours and you've been mine And we've lived ever happily Everywhere I've been you've been with me There is nothing to control No question mark left on our souls Just sunlight on a freckled face There is nothing to demand No politics to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face Everything in its right place Everything in its right place And I want to give you a brand new sky Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real I want to show you how you make me feel I want to give you a brand new dream Where two horses drink from a silver stream As the trees catch fire they lift their heads And bolt together through the forest across our beds I want to bring you the fields of flowers I want to build you Eiffel Towers Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars Set you free, yeah |

Every step I take takes me farther from you
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you Since you were a child we built our lives around you How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you? Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here When you joined the war we were so proud of you You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean And you will always be my little one If I was the President, if I was that man I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand If I was the President, if I was that brave I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave If I was the President and my world turned black I would want no victory, I'd just want you back I don't want no victory, I just want you back |

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted what you really wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? Honey, there's a hole in the life we've made With thousands of people laughing in the shade Pointing their fingers at the mess we've made There's a tourist in every heart That just wants to say Winter's coming and it's time to go It's already over, we just didn't know They're stacking up wood where the flowers grow There's a tourist in every heart That can't wait to go Is who you are now who you want to be now Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted really what you wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? Honey, there's a boat and it waits for us Somewhere there's a time and a place for us It could be perfect if it wasn't for us Cause momma, we're in love with a memory A perfect dream of how it used to be When our hair was windy and our nights were free There's a tourist in every heart Sees what it wants to see Is who you are now who you want to be now Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted really what you wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? |

Will you remember me,
The way I was, when I was free An open book that we could read Together Will I haunt your dreams A mocking bird with broken wings A burned out ???, an empty swing Forever Time turns and then it flies A waterfall of lullabies A smiling girl with crying eyes Forget her Moonlight upon her face A story book of empty space Where you and I feel out of place Together Will we remember this The way it was or how it is What we love or what we miss Forever Will we turn loose at last The schools of thought from whence we've cast And let our boats go sailing past Untethered One fine morning... One fine morning... The machines are gonna cut us down One fine morning... One fine morning... The machines are gonna cut us down |
