Wine wine
Why the goose drank wine
And the monkey chewed tobacco on a streetcar line
Now the line broke and the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands
Sane sane theyre all insane firemans blind the conductors lame
A Cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hang out the window with a ... |
Someday the silver moon and I will go to Dreamland
I will close my eyes and wake up there in Dreamland
But tell me who will put flowers on a flowers grave?
Who will say a prayer?
Will I meet a China rose there in Dreamland?
Or does love lie bleeding in Dreamland?
Are these days forever and always
And if we are to die t... |
Well, you hate those diesels rolling
Those Friday nights out bowling
When hes off for a twelve-hour lay overnight
You wish you had a dollar
For every time he hollered
That hes leaving and hes never coming back
But the curtain-laced billow
And his hands on your pillow
And his trousers are hanging on the chair
Youre lyin... |
Stop me if youve heard this one
But I feel as though weve met before
Perhaps I am mistaken
But its just that I remind you of
Someone you used to care about
Oh but that was long ago
Now tell me do you really think Id fall for that old line
I was not born just yesterday
Besides I never talk to strangers anyway
Hell I ain... |
You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching thats where it begins
You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn for once the way the world is run
However much you twist or whatever lies t... |
We put up our tent on a dark green knoll
Outside of town by the train tracks and a seagull dump
Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel and her Marvelous Pigs in Satin
We pounded our stakes in the ground, all powder brown
The branches spread like scary fingers reaching
We were in a pasture outside Kankakee
And one-eyed M... |
Im gonna get me on the ride up
Im gonna get me
Can I have a little more on my voice?
Im gonna get me on the ride up
On the top of the hill
Im only goin to the top of the hill

The birds keep singing, baby, after youre dead
Im gonna miss you plenty, big old world

The door was open, I was seething
Your mother burst in, it was freezing
She said it looks like it’s trying to rain
I was lost, I felt seasick
You convinced me that he’d left
You said keep talking but don’t use any names
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked
And we’... |
On our anniversary
Therell be someone else where you used to be
The world dont care and yet it clings to me
The moon is gold and silvery
Who knows where the sidewalk ends?
Well, the road will turn and the road will bend
They always say he marks the sparrows fall
How can anyone believe it all?
Well, the band has stopped... |
Get a job, save your money, listen to Jane
Everybody knows umbrellas cost more in the rain
All the news is bad, is there any other kind?
And everybody’s talking at the same time
And everybody’s talking at the same time
Well, it’s hard times for some, for others, it’s sweet
Someone makes money when there’s blood in the ... |
Hell above and heaven below
All the trees are gone
The rain makes such a lovely sound
To those who are six feet underground
The leaves will bury every year
And no one knows Im gone
Live me golden, tell me dark
Hide from Graveyard John
The moon is full here every night
And I can bathe here in his light
The leaves will b... |

In the silver morning hollow
Trembling and getting old
Smelling burnt oil of heaven
About ten years, too big to hold
She dont get up when I come into the room
She dont run through the fields anymore
Built a fire in the kitchen
Made her bed by a stove
Took a walk to the graveyard
But she didnt want to go
She dont worry ... |
Its too early for the circus, its too late for the bars
Everyones sleepin but the paperboys
And no one in this town is makin any noise

But Id trade of... |
Well, I wish I was in New Orleans
I can see it in my dreams
Arm-in-arm down Burgundy
A bottle and my friends and me
Hoist up a few tall cool ones
Play some pool and listen
To that tenor saxophone
Calling me home
And I can hear the band begin
When the Saints Go Marching In
And by the whiskers on my chin

Bougainvilleas bloom and wind
Be careful, mind the strangle vines
The rose is climbing over blind
Cause the sun is on the other side
The bees will find their honey
The sweetest every time
Around a red rose

Blooming on another mans vine

Broken bicycles
Old busted chains
With rusted handlebars
Out in the rain
Somebody must have
An orphanage for
All these things that
Nobody wants any more
September is reminding July
Its time to be saying goodbye
Summer is gone
But our love will remain
Like old broken bicycles
Out in the rain
Broken bicycles

Sun is red, moon is cracked
Daddys never coming back
Nothings ever yours to keep

If I die before you wake
Dont you cry, dont you weep

Strip Poker Motel
Got a small blue tail
Hot ice, cold cash
I never been no good at staying out of jail
Wheel spin, roulette
Whos giving, dont get
Ripped shirt, black eye
Tuxedo, bow tie
Dark sound, straight road
Get lost, get loaded
Enlisted men, off-duty
Stolen clouds, dark beauty
Cold gun, wild rose

Well I think its about time I took you on an improvisational adventure into the bowels of the metropolitan region. Looks like a bonafide, high voltage, decked out in full regalia, Angeleno audience. Driving in, in Subarus, Pintos, Malibus, Oldsmobiles. A small suburban community. This is a...kind of about 2:30 in the m... |
Like a tin can feeding
Like a skinned hand bleeding
Like a tramp choir crying
Like a campfire dying
Like a big dog breeding
Like a pig hog feeding
Like a top hat tipping
Like a dropped rat skipping
Like a tin horn glowing
Like a gin storm blowing
Like a necktie flapping
Like a rich guy clapping
Like a big fool crawling... |
Liar, liar with your drawers on fire
White spades hangin on the telephone wire

You move it to the right

You slide it to the limbo

The things a crow puts in its nest
They are always things he finds that shine best
Somehow hell find a shiny dime
A silver twine from a valentine
The crows all bring them shiny things
Leave me alone, you big old moon
The light you cast is just a liar
Youre like the crows cause if it glows
Youre dressed to go, you guess... |
I fell asleep down by the stream
And there I had the strangest dream
And down by Brennans Glenn
There grows a briar and a rose
Theres a tree in a forest, but I dont know where
I built a nest out of your hair
And climbing up into the air
A briar and a rose
I dont know how long it has been
But I was born in Brennans Glen... |
See, I just happened to be back on the East Coast a few years back
I was trying to make me a buck like everybody else
Ill be damned if times didnt get hard
And Christ I got down on my luck
And I got tired of just roaming and bumming around
So I started thumbing my way back to my old hometown
And you know, I made quite ... |
You can hang me in a bottle like a cat
Let the crows pick me clean but for my hat
Where the wailing of a baby meets the footsteps of the dead
Were all mad here

Hell is such a lonely place
And your big expensive face will never last

Everything you can think of is true
Before the ocean was blue
We were lost in a flood run red with your blood
Nigerian skeleton crew
Everything you can think of is true
The dish ran away with a spoon
Dig deep in your heart for that little red glow
Were decomposing as we go
Everything you can think of is true
And fishes... |
Now youre gone
And its hotels and whiskey and sad luck days
And I dont care if they miss me
I never remember their names
They say if you get far enough away
Youll be on your way back home
Well Im at the station
And I cant get on the train

It was all upon a foggy night
An abandoned road in a twilight mirror mirage
With no indication of any kind of service station
Or an all-night garage
I was misinformed, I was misdirected
Cause the interchange never intersected
Leaving me marooned beneath a bloodshot moon
All upon a foggy night, a foggy night
All upon a ... |
The fires dying out, all the embers have been spent
Outside on the street, lovers hide in the shadows
You look at me, I look at you
Theres only one thing I want you to do
Kiss me
I want you to kiss me like a stranger once again
Kiss me like a stranger once again
I wanna believe that our loves a mystery

Rattle big black bones in the Danger zone
Theres a rumblin groan down below

Round the curve of The Parrot Bar
A broken-down old movie star
Hustling and Easterner
Bringing out the beast in her
A high dive in a swimming pool
Filled with needles and with fools
The memories are short, but the tales are long
When youre in the Reeperbahn
They called her Rosie when she was a girl

The bats are in the belfry

Over here, the ladies all want sweet perfume
But theres never a rose
And over there, the roses are frightened to bloom
So they never can grow

Lost in the harbour

Well shes as mean as a needle

She got you coming through the dog door
She got you coming through the dog door

A cab combs the snake, tryin to rake in that last nights fare
And a solitary sailor who spends the facts of his life like small change on strangers
Paws his inside peacoat pocket for a welcome twenty-five cents
And the last bent butt from a package of Kents
As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes
And marmala... |

A vulture circles over your head for you, baby

I guess things were always kind of quiet around Putnam County
Kind of shy and sleepy as it clung to the skirts of the two-lane
That was stretched out just like an asphalt dance floor
Where all the old-timers in bib jeans and store-bought boots
Were hunkering down in the dirt
To lie about their lives and the places that... |
I lost everything I had in the 29 flood
The barn was buried beneath a mile of mud
Now Ive got nothing but the whistle and the steam
My baby leaving on the 2:19
Now theres a fellow thats preaching about hell and damnation

I treated her bad, I treated her mean

Theres a place I know where the train goes slow
Where the sinner can be washed in the blood of the lamb

From the halls of heaven to the gates of hell
And theres room for the for... |

Ive come five hundred miles just to see your halo
Come from St. Petersburg, Scarlett and me

Well you can buy me a drink and Ill tell you what Ive seen

Jack was sitting poker faced with bullets backed with bitches

Cmon let me get up on it |
The whirligig beetles are wary and fast
With an organ to detect the ripples
The arachnid moths lay their eggs inside
Other insects along the borders of fields or roads
In clusters of white cocoons
The ribbed pine borer is a longhorn beetle
Their antennas are half the length of their body
And they feed on dead red pine

I met you in the saddle, I rode you in the dust
Held your hand to the heavens, pulled your heart to the earth
There was something that blinded me more than the mist
And the breath of the cottonwood buds lighter yet
When you rode the maypole of dance hall lace
And galloped to anothers embrace
And I bit the flowers from ... |

Depot, depot, what am I doing here?
I aint coming, I aint going

I cant claim title
To a single memory
You offered me a key

I broke down in East St. Louis on the Kansas City line
And drunk up all of my money that I borrowed every time
And I fell down at the Derby, the nights as black as a crow
It was a train that took me away from here
But a train cant bring me home
What made my dreams so hollow was standing at the depot
With a steeple full... |
Wasted and wounded
And it aint what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow
Hey Frank, can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Youll go waltzing Matilda with me

Of a blinded alley
And Im tired of all these soldiers here

They pay me not to come home, keeping me stoned
I won’t run away
They say it’s easy to get stuck in this town just like Joan
You know I gave it all up for the stage
They fill my cup up in the cage

To hold yourself up is not a crime here you know
At the end of the world

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
Roll my vertebrae out like dice
Let my skull be a home for the mice
Let me bleach like the bones on a beach

Now the hound has a ranch
The old tressel’s just junk
The Edsel is on blocks
The old said-so won’t talk

Well, the dawn cracked hard just like a bullwhip
Cause it wasnt taking no lip from the night before

My old sport coat full of promissory notes
