Do Me Right
03:43
|

always know
which way the wind blows
never ask for whom the bell tolls
Argentina, Chile and Brazil
if you don't cry for me, then who the hell will?
do me wrong, you'll wind up in a song
do me right, you'll get the best both day and night
please have mercy on me, self
put that face back on the shelf
you know you were never made
to be frolicking on the human stage
chorus
if I let you turn into a ghost
you'll have broken this good heart the most
now I'm sure that I was never made
to be frolicking on the human stage
chorus

Million Years
03:13
|

we were living it up
didn't have any doubts
we were living it up
knew what it was about
never, never in a million years
she had it all sewn up
take a victory lap
she had it all, sho nuff
(and she did just that)
never never in a million years
could you read a history book
and find out what happens
when you do what you're doing
but you don't care
where do we go from here?
I can't really say
they want to explode
we wanna save the day
never never in a million years

Strength

strength
I'm gonna call you up
strength
don't really wanna call you up
pain aversion is fine
it won't get you to where you'll be mighty, mighty
but iron fist
ever get tired of it?
strength
how did you get so hard?
like an anvil
beaten from the start
this late in the trip
you might think I would get some of it
but strength
gonna have to save me again
running around in the human day
you never know what you're gonna get there
swimming around in the human pool
you never know what you're gonna get
strength
I'm gonna call you up
strength
you better better better better pick up

Pretty Mama
02:55

oh daddy
I been stuck, been stuck
oh daddy
been struck, been struck
feels like a ten ton truck
you know I'd never get lucky
in this world
oh mama
been rough, been rough
oh mama
been tough, been tough
feels like a ten ton truck
didn't think it'd be so rough
to lose
a pretty mama
lose a pretty mama
maybe I've had enough
feels like a ten ton truck is
slamming right into me
to lose a pretty mama
lose a pretty mama
lose a pretty mama
I lost a pretty mama

Desert
04:24
|
|||
went to the desert
to have a look around
noticed the eye of God
and the scorpion of fear
kept me in the water
as bitter as the Salton Sea
kept me in the water
as bittersweet as mama and me
gonna have to dig a little deeper
if you want to bury that body
gonna have to dig a little deeper
if you want to bury that body
straight on till morning
follow that star
straight on till morning
won't be far
gonna take out all my stitches
one at a time
gonna rip out all my stitches
and fly around the town
fly around the town

Red Man
02:19
|
|||
lock your doors
lock your souls up
oh when the red man comes to town
hold your daughters
hold your sons
oh when the red man comes to town
asked my mama
can you tell me
why we have to suffer so long
asked my daddy
can you tell me
oh why it always has to go wrong
hold your daughters
hold you sons
oh when the red man comes to town
part the waters
save those children
and we will fight them from now

Look Away
02:35
|
|||
look away now
from the day now
look away now
I can't take it
look away now
from the day now
look away now
goddamn it
you're a moth to the flame now
gotta feeling
gotta feeling I may
gotta feeling
might never be the same again
I can't take

Nighthawk
02:51
|
|||
he came up
when she was gardening
kind madam, now I have been traveling
how far, they never knew
but when they fed him, he ate for 22
and said,
I'm a nighthawk
steeped in solitude
she came in it was love at first sight
he looks like ray liotta
or david hasselhoff
with paws this wide
come inside
and give up your freedom
beautiful tiger
I thank you for coming along with me

Healer
05:52
|
|||
I've been walking alone
since I started to walk
told myself a story of wonder
tried to hold on to my soul
though every little petal falls
every little flower can still see me
lately been in the dark
I'd give anything to
raise you up from your slumber
be your treasure anew
though every little petal falls
every little flower can still see me
I'm gonna be a healer
holding onto hearts torn asunder with grief
I'm gonna be a believer
believing in you
and believing in me
