I have climbed highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night As cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come When all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes I'm still running You broke the bonds And you loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame, of my shame You know I believe it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

If you like to gamble, tell you I'm your man You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil Going with the flow, it's all a game to me Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you Double up or quit, double stake or split The Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools But that's the way I like it baby I don't wanna live for ever And don't forget the joker! Pushing up the ante, I know you gotta see me Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again I see it in your eyes, take one look and die The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be The Ace of Spades The Ace of Spades

Oh, I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee Going to Louisiana, my true love for to see It rained all night the day I left, the weather was bone dry The sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don't you cry Oh, Susanna! Oh don't you cry for me Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night, when everything was still I dreamed I saw Susanna just standing on that hill A red red rose was in her hand, a tear was in her eye I said I come from Dixieland, Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna! Oh don't you cry for me Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee And when I get to New Orleans, I'll take a look around, And when I find Susanna, I'll fall down on the ground. But if my love's not standing there then I will surely die, And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna, don't you cry. Oh Susanna! Oh don't you cry for me Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

The Meaning of Life: Life is a characteristic dinstinguishing physical entities that have biological processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased (those are dead) or because lack such functions and are classified as inanimate. That's life

I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me? God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you (God only knows) God only knows what I'd be without you

Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house Even though I know you're not home but I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair combed back and your Sunglasses on, baby I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream? I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm going to show you what I'm made of I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun I see you walking real slow and Smiling at everyone I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said “Don't look back, you can never look back” I thought I knew what love was, what did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got the top pulled down and the Radio on, baby I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone

There's a destination a little up the road From the habitations and the towns we know A place we saw the lights turn low The jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts Two turntables and a microphone Bottles and cans and just clap your hands And just clap your hands Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Pick yourself up off the side of the road With your elevator bones and your whiplash tones Members only, hypnotizers Move through the room like ambulance drivers Shine your shoes with your microphone blues Hirsutes you with the parachute grooves Passing the dutchie from coast to coast Let the man cut loose while I rock the most Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two turntables and a microphone Two, two, two, two, two, two... Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone There's a destination a little up the road From the habitations and the towns we know A place we saw the lights turn low The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts Two turntables and a microphone Bottles and cans and just clap your hands And just clap your hands Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone Where it's at I got two turntables and a microphone

I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say Come home in the morning, I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself But hey there baby, I could use just a little help You can't start a fire Can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark Messages getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving 'round this place I take a look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't getting nowhere, man, I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere, baby I just know that there is You can't start a fire Can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You sit around getting older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on baby, the laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry, OK, I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action Sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction, come on baby, Gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over your broken heart This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing Even if we're just dancing in the-- You can't start a fire Can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Only love can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers laying in the field Love, reign o'er me Love, reign o'er me, rain on me Rain on me Only love can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love, reign o'er me Love, reign o'er me, rain on me Rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spent, apart, alone, I I need to get back home to cool, cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Oh God, I need a drink Of cool, cool rain Love, reign o'er me, Love, reign o'er me, rain on me, rain on Love, reign o'er me, rain on me Rain on me

there is a hole nearby the water when cold wind strips the beaches bare if you are wise and you look closely you’ll find my heart is hiding there i am alive on certain evenings i am a ghost most every night you may not hear my come and goings but you may see a distant light it’s scratched and bruised but never broken it’s never seen the light at all and i have learned i don’t much need it but still i wish that it might call the beach will flood the sand go rushing and wash my poor, cold heart to sea and i will feel my white face blushing and hope a new one comes to me and so i sit here in this cold room i try to keep it out of mind and wonder where my heart will go to and would it be that hard to find

Shadowplay 04:03
To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you, To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth. In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, And the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with a cold steel odor in their bodies made a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left. I did everything, everything I wanted to I let them use you for their own ends To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you.

Everything’s fine, now we’re together, here in our room by the window Everything’s fine, don’t be afraid now, just let the wind blow through your hair Everything’s fine, now that you're with me, and the door is locked up tight Everything’s fine, we’re in here away from all those creatures of the night Everything’s fine, somebody’s on it, we’ll know what this is all about Everything’s fine, just a few days now, till the fires all go out Everything’s fine, and if they break in, we’ve got the pistol by the door Everything’s fine, just wait by the window let the wind blow some more Woo-hoo-woo-ooh Everything’s fine, no I‘m not bleeding, no, those scars were there before Everything’s fine, you have to invite us, or they can’t get in the door Everything’s fine, what, no, you misheard me, it sure is loud there, my dear Everything’s fine, just don’t you worry, you’ve got no time left to fear

In a little while Surely you'll be mine In a little while I'll be there In a little while This hurt will hurt no more I'll be home, love When the night takes a deep breath And the daylight has no air If I crawl, if I come crawling home Will you be there? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh In a little while I won't be blown by by every breeze Friday night running To Sunday on my knees That girl, that girl, she's mine And I've know her since Since she were a little girl With Spanish eyes oh when I saw her In a pram they pushed her by Oh, oh my, how we've grown, but then, It's been a little while Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Slow down my bleeding heart Slow down my bleeding heart Man dreams one day to fly A man takes a rocket ship into the sky He lives on star, that's dying in the night And follows the trail The scatter of light Turn it on now You turn me on Turn me on, yeah Slow down my bleeding heart In a little while In a little while Slow down my bleeding heart In a little while Slow it down, slowly love Slow it down Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I woke up this morning December 25 Head pounding, heart spinning Barely left half alive Stumbled out the bedroom Something feeling strange Took me a few minutes Till I noticed what had changed Can't you see... Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my weed Santa stole my girl, everything I need Santa stole my life, Santa stole my world Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my girl Well the whole house had been stripped bare Didn’t even leave a note and If I see him walking round here man I'll get him by the throat Well I don’t quite remember everything I'd done on Christmas Eve But still the shit that I been going through, I can’t seen to believe that Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my weed Santa stole my girl, everything I need Santa stole my life, Santa stole my world Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my girl It’s really so surprising, we’ve been friends since I was young And sure he never gave me nothing, but I knew what I had done And I don’t know, see I have never heard this happening before And yeah I done a little bad this year, guess I should have done some more since Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my weed Santa stole my girl, everything I need Santa stole my life, Santa stole my world Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my girl (solo) So I’m sitting on this barstool, planning all of my next moves Cause there’s one thing that I’m sure of, it’s I ain’t gonna lose When I've sobered up here now then I will get myself a gun Take the first train to North Pole, make him pay for what he's done Cause Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my weed Santa stole my girl, everything I need Santa stole my life, Santa stole my world Santa stole my shit, Santa stole my girl Oh Santa! Oh Santa! Oh Santa! Oh Santa! You're on my list! I’m gonna kill Santa I’m gonna kill Santa I’m gonna kill Santa I’m gonna kill Santa

Two-headed boy All floating in glass The sun it has passed, now it's blacker than black I can hear as you tap on your jar I am listening to hear where you are I am listening to hear where you are Two-headed boy Put on Sunday shoes And dance 'round the room to accordion keys With the needle that sings in your heart Catching signals that sound in the dark Catching signals that sound In the dark We will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside Now your eyes ain't moving now, they just lay there in their climb Two-headed boy With pulleys and weights Creating a radio play just for two In the parlor with the moon across her face And through the music he sweetly displays Silver speakers that sparkle all day Made for his lover who's floating And choking with her hands across her face And in the dark we will take off our clothes And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine And when all is breaking everything that you could keep inside Now your eyes ain't moving now, they just lay there in their climb Two-headed boy There's no reason to grieve The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves Left beneath Christmas trees in the snow And I will take you and leave you alone Watching spirals of white softly flow Over your eyelids and all you did Will wait until the point when you let go

In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky That's the place where I trace my bloodline And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone "You'll never leave Harlan alive" Well my grandad's dad walked down Katahrin's Mountain And he asked Tillie Hilton to be his bride Sayin' "walk with me out of the mouth of this holler Or we'll never leave Harlan alive" Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life just thinking how to get away Nobody knew there was coal in them mountains Till a man from the northeast arrived Waving hundred dollar bills, he said "I'll pay you for your minerals" But he never left Harlan alive Granny sold out cheap and we moved out west to Pineville To a farm where Big Richland River winds Bet they danced them a jig, and they laughed and sang a new song "Who said we'd never leave Harlan alive?" But the times, they got hard and tobacco wasn't selling And old Granddad knew what to do to survive Digging Harlan coal and sending money back to Granny But he never left Harlan alive Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave And the sun comes up about ten in the morning And the sun goes down about three in the day And you fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking And you spend your life just thinking how to get away In the deep, dark hills of eastern Kentucky That's the place that I trace my bloodline And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone "You'll never leave Harlan alive"

January Hymn 03:26
On a winter Sunday I go To clear away the snow And green the ground below April an ocean away Is this a better way to spend the day? Keeping the winter at bay What were the words I meant to say Before you left When I could see your breath lead Where you were going to Maybe I should just let it be And maybe it will all come back to me Seeing, oh, January, oh How I lived a childhood in the snow And all my teens in tow Stuffed in strata of clothes Pale the winter days after dark Wandering the gray memorial park A fleeting beating of hearts What were the words I meant to say Before she left When I could see her breath lead Where she was going to Maybe I should just let it be And maybe it will all come back to me Seeing, oh, Janu... Oh, January, oh

Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck Some nights I call it a draw. Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle. Some nights I wish they'd just fall off But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know anymore This is it, boys, this is war! So what are we waiting for? Why don't we just break the rules already? I was never one to believe the hype Save that for the black and white I work twice as hard and I'm half as liked, But here they come again to jack my style And that's alright I found a martyr in my bed tonight She stops my bones from wondering Just who I am, who I am, who am I I'm feelin rough I'm feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life Let's make some music, make some money, make some models our wives I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars This is our decision to live fast and die young We've got the vision, now let's have some fun Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do? Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute? Forget about our mothers and our friends We were fated to pretend To pretend We were fated to pretend To pretend Some nights I wish that this all would end 'Cause I could use some friends for a change And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again Some nights, I always win, I always win But I still wake up, I still see your ghost Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for, oh What do I stand for? What do I stand for? Most nights, I don't know Oh oh oh I miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms I miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world I miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home Yeah I miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone But there is really nothing, nothing we can do. Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew The models will have children, we'll get a divorce, We'll find some more models, Everything must run its course We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end We were fated to pretend To pretend We were fated to pretend To pretend So this is it? I sold my soul for this? Washed my hands of that for this? I miss my mom and dad for this? No. When I see stars, when I see stars, that's all they are When I hear songs, they sound like a swan So come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Oh, come on! That is it, guys, that is all Five minutes in and I'm bored again Ten years of this, and I'm not sure if anybody understands This is not one for the folks back home I'm sorry to leave, Mom, I had to go But, who the fuck wants to die alone all dried out in the desert sun? My heart is breaking for my sister And the con that she called love But when I look into my nephew's eyes, Man, you wouldn't believe The most amazing things that can come from Some terrible Nights The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me I called you up, but we'd both agree It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we kept your distance.

I am thinking it's a sign That the freckles in our eyes Are mirror images And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned And I have to speculate That God himself did make Us into corresponding shapes Like puzzle pieces from the clay And true it may seem like a stretch But it's thoughts like this that catch My troubled head when you're away When I am missing you to death When you are out there on the road For several weeks of shows And when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now, they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away Come down now but we'll stay I tried my best to leave This all on your machine But the persistent beat It sounded thin upon listening And that frankly will not fly You'll hear the shrillest highs And lowest lows with the windows down When this is guiding you home They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away Come down now but we'll stay They will see us waving from such great heights Come down now Oh! Come down now Come down now Come down now

Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Take a gun Or how you say That's no way To behave But just as long you begin To sing a song that doesn't sin It grows Hey, you know Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Are we the last to get away To the sun, another day Or do we know, all we know Seems to be conveyed that way Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Are we the last living souls Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up 'Cause all I've sung I got it down wrong I seem myself to get The long-seeing road now The part that's comin' up The coldest man doesn't say it's wrong We go to the park I see you walk in the fog And when you get there do you see You see the last, it's you and me 'Cause we're the last living souls We're the last living souls We're the last living souls We're the last living souls

I ain't going back to Barton Hollow I'm a dead man walking here But that's the least of all my fears Oh, oh Underneath the water It's not Alabama clay That gives my trembling hands away Oh, oh Please forgive me father Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Did that full moon force my hand? Or that unmarked hundred grand? Oh, oh Underneath the water Oh, oh Please forgive me father Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul Miles and miles in my bare feet Still can't lay me down to sleep If I die before I wake I know the Lord my soul won't take I'm a dead man walking, I'm a dead man walking here Keep walking, running, running for miles Keep walking, running, running for miles Keep walking, running, running for miles Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in that river Can't no preacher man save my soul Ain't going back to Barton Hollow Devil gonna follow me e'er I go Won't do me no good washing in the river Can't no preacher man save my soul

I, I can remember Standing, beneath the wall While the guns Shot over our heads And we kissed We kissed As though nothing could fall And the shame Was on the other side We can beat them, together We can do this, forever and ever We can be heroes Just for one day We can be heroes Just for one day Reckoner Can't take it with you Dancing for your pleasure You are not to blame for Bittersweet distractors Dare not speak its name Dedicated to all you All you human beings Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Because we separate Like ripples on a blank shore Reckoner Take me with you Dedicated to all you human beings I, I wish I could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day I, I will be king And you, you will be queen And nothing will keep us together

--- When the water comes To wash this town away They won't remember me Will they remember you When the storm comes To wash this town away They won't remember me Will they remember you When the fire comes To wash this town away They won't remember me Will they remember you When the sand comes... They won't remember me Will they remember you From the day we arrive Till the day we die (I don’t have to, I don't have to) From the day we arrive Till the day we die From the day we arrive Till the day we die, die, die (instrumental) This is a song about me But just the parts I forgot It's kind of cool cause it's true Except that most of it's not This is a song about ghosts Cause in the end aren't they all Think how the winter will look By when the spring comes to fall This a song about words This a song about crime This a song about hearts This a song about time Ba baba ba ba ba Ba baba ba ba ba Ba baba ba ba ba Ba baba ba ba ba Drown everything, yeah Drown everything Keep your carbon, keep your silver Give me iron every time Keep your carbon, keep your silver Give me iron every time Keep your carbon, keep your silver Give me iron every time Every time, every time

[SECRET EXTRA VERSE:] [Whatever happened to sharing is creepy?] [Whatever happened to wearing only black] [i see the water you're giving into, what's it giving back?] am i just getting old fighting the same old battles when the war’s over and done well, who won? so he says to me so he says to me and i’m not sure if i agree (repeat) but every song’s like, but every song’s like (but every song’s like) {i need, i need a little anarchy} whatever happened to a series of revolutions?
