SUGAR TOWN
I just want to kiss your face During the apocalypse I just want to keep you safe On the day the asteroid hits I went down to sugar town But the candy man never came around I waited in the dark for days Until the cravings finally went away And in the valley of the sun The hunting has begun Dinah's in the kitchen with Satan The devil's got a red dress on Daddy's loading up the shotgun Putting his blue suede shoes on In the valley of the sun Deconstruction has begun Now we're standing in the middle Of everything that is Don't think for a minute That there's any more to it than this In the setting of the Sun Celebration has begun I went down to sugar town _____ OSCILLATOR The rain, the rain, the rain Washed it all away And we're wondering How much we got left When we landed on the moon All I really wanted to do Was sit down next to you In the quiet of the night I left, I left, I left I left it all behind In a little black box In hopes that you would find I crawled, I crawled, I crawled My way back in time Just to get back to you To watch the sun rise Now here in this place, in these times In these minutes, of this life, We get by, we strive, to do better To provide.... Just a little bit of light... And all the clouds in the sky, Remind me of you, and I, And all that's passed by I'm the blink of an eye. _____ DREAM EATERS Jezebel...up on the hill Sunlight dripping from her face She's up there still, waiting for the kill, Waiting for the sounds of silence The queen of skies has fire for eyes and She rides a horse made of silver The midnight creatures, magnetic dream eaters, keepers of darkness and light A place in my dreams, Where I can be free, A place in my dreams,...To believe Just like a king, A devil with blue bird wings An invisible thing on the edge of rapture A loan shark, A saber toothed meadowlark With a bark much worse than it's bite The sun would rise and set In her eyes, from the west over the ocean saddle up the dragons, the prehistoric magic, The beautifully tragic end to it all A place in my dreams, Where I can be free, A place in my dreams,...To believe Jezebel, she's up there still _____ GOLDEN COYOTE Golden Coyote Beneath a blue moon Where did you come from Will you return Golden Coyote Your song in the wind Where are you going Please come back again Your head on fire Your heart of wildflower Golden Coyote With eyes like the sun Where did you come from Will you ever return You head on fire Your heart of wildflower You soul on fire Your heart of stone My Golden Coyote _____ WORKIN FOR THE QUEEN I took a job working for the queen from an ad I found in the magazine. I've been coming apart at the seams under the gun eight days a week. I took a job working for the queen on her fancy flying space machine Now I feel like I'm trapped inside a dream Back in time in New Orleans I took a job working for the queen. I'm seeing things I thought I'd never see I'm high up in her apple tree Feeding all the birds bumblebees. I took a job working for the queen on a train in the woods north of Abilene You could smell the smoke and kerosene All aboard the 219 I took a job working for the queen working in the land to make believe Working steel and concrete Laying yellow bricks down in the street I took a job working for the queen but she swept me off my feet. I fell for her eyes of green now. Now I love her and she loves me I took a job working for the queen. I took a job working for the queen. I love her and she loves me. I took a job working for the queen _____ GREAT WHITE WOLF I set out from Reno I was trailed by seven white wolves I travelled in the darkness by the light of the moon I'm listening to the silence, I'm searching for the sacred chord I'm following my gut, I'm listening to Leonard Cohen I set out from reno in the back of a pickup truck A 45 Dodge with 90 Horse under the hood A lil 'bit of hope & lead pumping through my blood I'm gonna get across the river and disappear into the woods I'm riding down the river in the morning light I'm climbing up the mountain to the other side I'm heading back to Reno to run with the wolves I'm heading back to home cuz there's gold in the hills When I left Reno I was sorry for that look on your face I'm sorry for the rolling thunder and the hit parade I'm sorry for the devil dancing & the laughing rain I'm sorry for a dead love dying & the mess I made I'm riding down the river in the dark night I'm climbing up the mountain just to laugh at the tide I'm heading back to Reno to bark at the Moon I'm heading back home just to be with you Hey hey mama I'm heading back to Reno Cause I believe in love still I'm searching for the long lost kingdom I'm dreaming of the great white wolf Hey hey mama I'm dreaming I'm dreaming of the great white wolf... _____ HOW THE WEST WAS WON Let me tell you How the West Was won it was days like this in the blistering Sun It was nights with you in the freezing cold watching bullets fly out our window Sometimes in the desert air things aren't always as they appear And Sometimes under desert skies Change awaits in a thin disguise Then One morning you were gone I picked up all the pieces up off of the lawn I packed them in an old sack of coal And I headed downtown to the old rail road Then one night I thought you came back but it was just another ghost and a cowboy hat He Started shooting his pistol and waving his arms Set fire in the field burned the whole farm down So let me tell you How the West Was won With a heart of gold and an old shotgun With Silver Spurs and a serpent's tongue let me tell you How the West Was won In pearls and lace and a feathered gown Like a hurricane she blew into town Started dancing atop the old piano In the bar room down at the bordello And in the desert wind she disappeared No sound no trace the worst was feared but I see her rise with the morning sun And I hear her break when the day is done So let me tell you How the West Was won With a heart of gold and an old shotgun With Silver Spurs and a serpent's tongue let me tell you How the West Was won _____ CLOUD BALLOON Looking out my window thinking about the weather thinking about leaving this place leaving on a jet plane leaving on a coal train leaving on a dragon's wing tossing pennies in the fountain throwing prayers up to heaven each and every day I'm not asking for something Or hoping for nothing I'm just giving thanks lately I've been thinking the mistakes i been making will come back to bite me in the end but I can't stop now, I've come too far To start all over again I can tell you one thing I'm not scared of the mountain that grew from a smile on your face I'm over the moon in my cloud balloon I hope to see you there someday I'm over the moon in my cloud balloon and I hope to see you there someday _____ LOVE SWEET LOVE When I opened my eyes I couldn't believe I was floating in the air above all the trees the wind then carried me far out to sea Above all the clouds through the air that we breathe Up through the heavens and cosmic debris Light years away in a new Galaxy Kodachrome colors and soft melodies Everything living in sweet harmony Like, love sweet love.....Love sweet love So I boarded a ship and I headed west But I couldn't believe just what happened next With eyes wide open and baited breath A thumping resounding from inside my chest I said a quick prayer and I hoped for the best I took what I could and I left all the rest Then I spread my wings and I flew from the nest And floated above this big beautiful mess Back to love sweet love....Love sweet love She looked at me and she asked me to dance Im not a gambling man but I took the chance I smiled at her and she took her hand under the lights, we never looked back we danced til the sunlight peaked through the cracks we spilled to the Streets with our hearts in our hands Down to the beach across the sands lost in an ocean of true romance and love sweet love....love sweet love Won't you please let me out Won't you please come on in Won't you please sit down Tell me how have you been Won't you tell me about All the ways to win The ways of man, The ghosts of sin The wicked rain, The seven moons The winds of time, The clouds of doom The changing tide, The twisted pine The toxic leaf, The evergreens And of love sweet love....Love Sweet Love But let's get back to the task at hand Tied to the tracks by a gun toting man Blindfolded and ball gagged Left for the vultures up overhead Left alone to fend for myself once again While the bandit rode off, into the sun with a bag full of money and an old shotgun I heard him say it was all in good fun Just like love sweet love....Love sweet love Now Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee From leaf to leaf and tree to tree Limb by Limb and stem to seed Stone by stone, sticks and weeds Colored glass washed up on the beach And heart shaped rocks that remind you of me The tides that carried us back out to sea Clinging to life and the sweet relief of Love sweet love...Love sweet love _____ GATES OF GRACELAND I stepped into the ether I stepped up to the ledge Up on the rooftop The clouds got In my head I looked down all around me All the waves and all the rocks All the little things Started adding up to a lot I can see all of the stars From The Dark side of the Moon I hear the angels call From the light inside your room I feel your heart pulling me And tugging at my soul A great magnetic burning Fueled by love and fueled by hope In the ancient garden In the meadows where we roam I can I feel the four winds blowing Calling us back home In the great deception In the silence in, the void We wait out the winter We seek shelter from the noise And in the ancient garden The flowers all take bloom From the cracks in the concrete From where the sun once had shown From the gates of Graceland To great heights unknown A great magnetic burning Fueled by love and fueled by hope A great magnetic burning Fueled by love and fueled by hope |
