There and Back Again
04:34
|
|||
The crossroads were so long ago.
Our war was won but lost in the end
Now the long run has left us spent,
Beaten by the places we went.
Ready to rest, waiting to sleep,
Ready to sow what we had reaped
No more shame for who we’ve been
we went there and back again
The mountain is so far away,
Our treasure has been reclaimed
But there is no rest till we get home,
those old streets that we once roamed
Waiting there with open arms
Beaming with their saintly charms
Forsaken loves and forgiven kin,
We went there and back again
All that remains are our memories
our past sins forgotten lost to the winds
And we return as battered souls
Our faces dragged across the coals
Dreaming of a better time
Before the years were so unkind
All that’s left is a lonesome end
We went there and back again

Rainbows
04:16
|

Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield
The clouds start to part over head
My eyes ache after so long in darkness
After years in my spartan bed
Curse the sun
I can't outrun
The ghosts of my dead
Growing restless in my old Chevy
Chew my tongue like a stick of gum
Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days
too many years spent on the run
Never stop
never slow
Run from the places where I bled
I follow this trail of rainbows
to the end of the road
Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home
If absence makes the heart grow fonder
Then I ain't been gone long enough
I Look around at the desolate wasteland
A shattered diamond in the rough
No delay
Just hell to pay
for the songs I left unsung
And these rainbows won’t be
Keeping me down
I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around
Pay attention to the words of wisdom
Sturm and Drang for the common man
Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys
The reason you got feet is to stand
Never Stop
Straight ahead
Never listen to what the book says
So I follow the trail of rainbows
To the end of the road
There ain't no pot of gold
But I might get what I'm owed
I can't dry the thunderclouds
But maybe I can stop the rain
just keep my head above the water
These rainbows can't bring no pain
Oh these rainbows

Today is the First Day
Today is the Last Day
Never thought I could love Someone
The way that I love you
I hear your voice now
I hold you so tight
our dreams have come alive
and you started it all
Please take this ring
You won't be lonely Anymore
We're just two Crazy Angels
Finding Heaven in our own Sweet Time
I remember Long Ago
Empty Heart such a shame
Until you opened me up
I was half a soul
Please take this ring
You won't be lonely Anymore
We're just two Crazy Angels
Finding Heaven in our own Sweet Time
I'm here to Proclaim My
Love for You around the world
Shout it out from the highest point on earth
Tomorrow
Is a sacred day that will always be
With you by my side I can do Anything
I would walk a million miles
Take the world on a string
My heart welcomes you in
As we sanctify our love

La Douleur Exquise
04:15
|

While I was standing over the mountains I held on close to your memory
the image i have of you locked in my cranium is the very last vision that i want to see
And there is no other way
To make you go away, go away
Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath
Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death
On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees
Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise
I never told you when i used to hold you but you were once my destiny
But for the cruelty of chaos' fealty i'd probably still long to be
Looking for answers in the back of old campers is not how i imagined this
but now as I step us right over the precipice i fully embrace the abyss
And there is no other way
To make you go away, go away
Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath
Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death
On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees
Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise
but you know it wasn't about the blame
and oh, oh it certainly wasn't the pain
But before I go I bid you well
Just say you'll think of me from time to time
And maybe drink another glass of wine
Suppose there is another way
To make me want to stay
Falling to blackness i cling to my sadness, struggling to take one more breath
Hoping to hope i can finally let go and no longer wish for my death
On this occasion I feel the sensation of crawling to you on my knees
Never accepting that i lost my blessing my glorious Douleur Exquise
My Douleur Exquise

I Once
03:48

Girl it's me again I've got your shit
Let me in, I'm tired and I need a bed
I'm not asking you to keep me around
Let's just get high and pretend that we're dead
I once had Dreams, but they've cast themselves out
Your low self-esteem and persistence of doubt
Drug me away from you and you away from drugs
I'm sorry I'm not a temptress, I'm proud to be a masochist
Taketh my cup, it runneth over
It's full of submission, it's full of me
I once had dreams, but they've all gone away
Along with your cradle,I've nothing left to say
Except What do you want from me? Will you cast me out at dawn?
Will you let me spend the night? Will you lock my body up?
Will you spit on me? Will you piss on me?
Will you throw me to the wolves? What will you force me to be?
I once had dreams, but they're the ones for fools
I was made for your pleasure and you were made to rule
Do you think that I'm a loser? do you think that I'm a fool?
I'd rather be a rotting corpse than to live by your rules

Jacky and Betty Jo
04:30
|

Jacky came courtin' round the middle of June
Betty Jo told jacky, "not a moment too soon"
So they ran off to Cincy and they didn't tell a soul
And that's where their story begins to unfold
Yes that's where this story starts to unfold
Betty Jo told Jacky, my daddy's on the hunt
and you know and i know he sure ain't no runt
but jacky told betty, I ain't scared of your kin
Ain't nobody stopping me from takin you in
Yeah, no one stops jacky from takin her in
So they kept on runnin, stayin one step ahead
Next stop was Ankeny, where secretly they'd wed
Betty Jo said to Jacky "let me be your wife,
And I'll stand by your side till the end of my life
Yes I'll be by your side till the end of my life
One day outside Lincoln Betty Jo she exclaimed
That's my daddy's pickup kickin dust in the lane
Jacky told Betty Jo to go get the gun
but Betty had already turned tail and run
yes Betty Jo had already turned tail and run
Jacky stood tall at the end of the road
Daddy's old pickup was carryin a load
Betty Jo's seven brothers were piled in the back
and in the window was hanging a full rifle rack
and on the window there hung an old rifle rack
The brothers hopped off and gave Jacky a chase
Till Jacky lost footing and fell on their face
The seven angry brothers took out their big knives
And beat Jacky a hair past an inch of their life
Yes Jacky got beat past the edge of their life
Seven weeks later, still no Betty Jo
Her daddy's done give up, her brothers also
But Betty kept the promise she made on that day
and returned to the shallow grave where her Jacky lay
Yeah she returned to that damn place where Jacky still lay

Heaven's Star
05:46
|

I open my eyes again to the empty bed i'm in
and wish on heavens star that you will find your way back to me
reach out to empty air to feel the breath of your hair
pull your phantom next to me and look upon heaven's star
and i wonder do you ever feel the same way that i do
like the sky is falling down tearing your whole world in two
every time i push it feels like i have pushed too far
and i wonder do you ever gaze do you gaze upon heaven's star
i can't help feeling this way i look out every day
and wish on heaven's star that you will find me waiting for you
patiently by the door I want this and nothing more
reach my hand to the sky to finally reach heaven's star
and i wonder do you ever feel the same way that i do
like the world is crashing down tearing your whole life in two
every time i push it feels like i have pushed too far
and i wonder do you ever gaze do you gaze upon heaven's star
Heaven's Star
finding answers to the problems that have plagued our life
always searching for the way to feel the pain
explore the depths of my soul look for what will make me whole
and wish on heaven's star that you are out there waiting for me
patiently by the door wanting me and nothing more
reach our hands to the sky to finally reach...
Heaven's star

Keine Angst vor der Zukunft.

Midnight High Street
04:42
|
|||
My walkin’ shoes are wearin out,
The cold wind cuts my face
There’s nothing left for me here,
I think it’s time i left this place
It’s midnight now, I’m stuck on High Street,
Right by where we used to sing
This is the last time I’ll ever be here
The last time I’ll ever feel this pain
I’m trying to not think of you
but I’m failing, I’m failing
When I finally leave this town
everything will be smooth sailing
I see the old man from that day
He asked me where you’d been
I drop a dollar instead of answer
Droop and mope my way out again
I’m trying to not think of you
but I’m failing, I’m failing
When I finally leave this town
everything will be smooth sailing
Whoa, it’s too late, it’s too late.
No, I won’t wait, I won’t wait
I’ll go, you won’t see me no more
Until the day I forget you
Midnight, High street, trip on my feet
Running as fast as I can
Don’t look back now, ain’t nothing left now
I won’t be back again
I’m trying to not think of you
but I’m failing, I’m failing
When I finally leave this town
everything will be smooth sailing
