1.
Ribbons of light in the southern sky Illuminate the great divide You were always by my side We felt the weight of the great divorce The bayonet, the foaming horse You were my shelter in the storm The cricket's legs, the summer's teeth A new decade, a new belief You were always there by me You were my strength throughout the course You were my peace in times of war You were my shelter in the storm
2.
I try to sleep But my dreams shake me awake The whole night through I try to sleep But I dream about you Night is all around us Bottle up the moonshine Take a pull and then pass Let me know you're mine I been helpless on the high seas Lost and lonesome for a long time A man can't control his own dreams Love is just a strong breeze Blowin' down the coastline Take it and return Feel the summer grind Rollin' in the green grass Wasted in the sunshine Goddamn it goes too fast Let me know you're mine I been helpless out on high street lost and lonesome for a long time go on and wrap your arms around me
3.
Disenchanted demoralizer You packed yourself a poison pistol Bend the barrel backwards blindly Isolate your indiscretion Keep your cuts and crosses sacred Visible to all who notice I feel like I'm light and lifted I feel freedom from a great weight I see blindness in your black eyes A picture of a burnin' building Waste your chance to change the chalkboard Scratch your nails down changin' nothin' Keep your cuts and crosses sacred Visible to all who notice I feel like I'm light and lifted I feel freedom from a great weight
4.
Once You Go 06:31
Don't you worry yourself at all about where you're goin' Don't you worry yourself a bit about passin' on 'Cause once you go You'll never know You'll never know that you're gone
5.
A laser beam A blast of light A fireball into the night Up against the wall Hey it's alright Nothin's ever as it seems In Chinatown On acid Come out and dance with the masses We're all in the same casket And nothin's ever as it seems
6.
You never could fire the ignition You have laid fallow under snow You got caught up in the wrong vision Beware the thief of your hearts rhythms Inside of you there's a great ladder There is a seed that you can sow Inside of me there's a destroyer Inside of me there's a burnt structure A thief of time is a dark creature
7.
You serenaded the street September Put me into a hurried hell I saw a light but I can't remember The way you broke that secret spell Seems like you've opened up some doors that You never should have Sunshine Have I been orphaned by your taste? Sometimes I get to feelin' out of place Can I hide in the shadow of your space and time Machine of mistakes? You fall apart into worried weather And let the lightning curse and crack I get caught up in the now and never Bring the time of my blindness back Seems like you've opened up some doors that You never should have Sunshine Have I been orphaned by your taste? I can't rely on the sweetness of your face Can I lie in the shadow of your space and time Machine of mistakes?
8.
Our ghosts sit in the silos Forced out and forgotten We hide where the dust grows Grey on the horizon I fell into a black hole I'll stay for a season Don't sell me your rainbows All is dissolution Strays drift down the dirt road And scream into the red glare I never could let go I always have been there Tall shade cover still grows Up in the brooked highlands Ancient as the wind blows No one will disturb them Washed down from the summit The ingrates and the swaddled Bring ruin to all sons Of high times forgotten I fell into a black hole I'll stay for a season Don't sell me your rainbows All is dissolution
9.
Archaic and elegant Light up my cigarette I need me a pick me up I'm uptight and outta luck Oh, absolute evidence Won't you help me get over it? Like a rollin' irrelevant I got some things I'd like to forget Tongue tied on slippery fang Tear me back down again I build myself up too much Temptin' your tangled touch Stack up the evidence To question my relevance Sever my self control And let me float on your alcohol I don't feel the need To secede from your sympathy You make me believe And concede my chemistry Intimidate me when you bleed that honesty Burn me down, baby Gut and filet me
