Asleep At The Wheel
01:59
|
|||
|
Sittin' there beside her
Wonderin' what's got her
Somethin' sad is on her mind
We're driving through the darkness
It's obvious we're hopeless
It never seems to be our time
Her eyes are getting heavy
I should wake her up
But I keep it to myself just the same
I really want to ask her but
Something tells me not to
Don't really want to play that game
There was a time I knew for certain
What it was I cared about
I miss the way her hand could feel
The way she helped to cool me down

Another glass of water
This weather's gotten hotter
A letter in a bottle
The reading of the Gospel
It might not sound like much
Perhaps quite out of touch
But over time fades in and out
And soon you may too doubt
The motives for the things we say
Writing all the words down
Ironing the kinks out
Work into the late-night
Make sure it's sounding alright
And we revise a bit
When we get sick of it
So if you find it coming back
Get yourself on track
It's just the editing we say...
Sing the song
The way you wrote it
And I'll sing along
And when we're done we'll
Both go out our own separate ways
Woke up in a coma
Didn't think I'd ever see you
Living in a pig-pen
Caught up in a tailspin
The times will give and take
They bend and they break
But I'm coming back one day
Without a thing to say
About the times we need a friend

Let me be
Just leave a message on the answering machine
And I'll review it inconspicuously
But I ain't gonna make no guarantees out...
867-5309
You could call me
You could call me, baby,
Any other time
Don't you see?
You're never gonna get it
Out from me
But come on, really,
What'd you expect from me?
You know I know you got it
Out for me
Out
Out, out
You're never comin' home to see me
Out, out
You're never comin' home to me
Out, out
When are you comin' down to meet her?
Out, out
Well it's so nice of you to see
Out, out
Well it's so nice of you Jenny
Cop don't see
You're never gonna get it out from me
I'll find it for you for a nominal fee
But I know you got it out for me
Out...

Short Left
04:17

I'm leading with a short left, baby
Tell me if you like what you see
I'm reaching out for a cold one, honey
Have yourself another on me
I'm leaning ever wayward, darlin'
Gotta find some space to breathe
Away from you out in the courtyard, honey
Hiding in the top of a tree
I'm leaving on an airplane, honey
Bound to catch a window seat
I'm gettin' onto the next bus, darlin'
Gonna make a man outta me
And somewhere in a bar, they're laughing
Alcohol and cigarettes
And I know I should quit all these
Things I'm doing,
Got to make a man outta me.
And now the stewardess is in the band too, baby
Sittin' on a tambourine
And that's a pilot there on the drum kit, darlin'
To lend us our legitimacy
The purple sky outside the window
The other side is orange and yellow...
But the song we sing
Don't sound the same with you
The song we sing
Just ain't the same without you

But Not Yet
04:47

I had a dream that I woke in my bed
Awoke with a song but don't recall how it went
Sometimes these things, they escape me
It's true
And I'd like you to hear it
But not yet
I had a dream you said to go back to bed
I was asleep, but I still heard what you said
Asleep in a car in a dream
On the long roads
That wind through the tall trees
At the bottom of the deep sea
Straight into the sunset
But not yet
On and on and on
We all sing the same sad songs
On and on and on
And it feels like there's no end...
I had a dream that it was something I said
I had a drink and poured myself back to bed
The sun's always chasing the moon
And we both know you should go...
But not yet

Kathy Caught Benito
03:38
|

|
Kathy and Benito moved in down the block
You should've seen the things they brought with them
They pulled a grand piano from out of their trunk
He played a song, she danced on top of it
A trailer pulled behind them, it's contents were spare
Was just a lion and an Indian
They sat out in the courtyard, half-naked and tan
And beckoned all the birds to sing along
He sat on the clothes-dryer,
She'd stand in the sink
I feel uncomfortable
Why, don't you think that isn't strange at all?
Kathy and Benito moved in down the block
You should've seen the things they brought with them
Kathy and Benito have parties at night, and they will rage until the sun will rise
A trail of cars departing, they all weave along
It is a sight, I must admit it now
Kathy caught Benito in a closet downstairs
Well, he was wearing trousers on his head
He removed them promptly saying something in tongues,
And when she screamed, her hair burst into flames
She calls in the hair-dryer
He blows in the phone
I feel uncomfortable
Why, don't you think that isn't
Strange at all?
Kathy and Benito have parties at night
And they will rage until the sun will rise

Leafboat
03:51
|

|
I'm gonna head across the sea
On a boat made out of leaves
See the branches long that
Dip down in the tide
In the moon an owl sleeps
And in the vastness of his dream
Are the water sounds that
Lap along my side
No one knows where my boat can go
The trees'll hide and the light will show
And the ripples left behind may quickly pass
But I've left behind this song for you
It's yours to have when you're feeling blue
May your searching heart be comforted at last
And someday I'll maybe land
Tie my boat up in the sand
Let the water dry
Lie myself out in the sun
But a storm could blow along
Or the shore may just never come
Or my leaves might wash away, love
One by one
No one knows where my boat can go
The trees'll hide and the light will show
And the ripples left behind may quickly pass
But I've left behind this song for you
It's yours to have when you're feeling blue
May your searching heart be comforted at last
I'm gonna head across the sea
On a boat made out of leaves
See the branches long that
Dip down in the tide
On a beach someday I'll sit
A sea of stars all dimly lit
And I'll name them
One by one across the sky

Wishin' On A Prayer
03:46
|
|||
|
Evening time
Got to get home to see ya'
Wishin' on a big dreamcatcher in the window
Driving all the way
The streets are full of ghosts
I'm wishin' on a prayer tonight
Feeding time,
Get 'em up in stitches
Spin yourself a spell and turn the dragons into witches
Drive across the killing floor
Your trunk full up with gold
And wishin' on a prayer tonight
Evening time
Got to get home to see ya'
Wishin' on a big dreamcatcher in the window
Blowin' out the lights and
Lockin' up the doors
And wishin' on a prayer tonight
Feeding time
You best go on and get it
The witches in the kitchen will be leaving any minute
Standing on the killing floor
With pockets full of gold
And wishin' on a prayer tonight
Be careful what you say,
You don't wanna regret it
Be careful how you say it,
I never will forget it
The sun is in the sand and
Water's in the sky
The people in the beach,
They all come here to die
Evening time
Got to get home to see you
Wishin' on a big dreamcatcher in the window
Lyin' like a rug but I got Jesus on my side
I'm wishin' on a prayer tonight
Bed time, you better
Take yourself a bath
Take it good and long 'cause it's the last you'll ever have
Get in your pajamas and get
Down on bended knee
And wish yourself a prayer tonight
Yeah, wish your little prayer tonight
Be careful what you pray,
You don't want to regret it
Be careful what you want
You might go on and get it
With Satan in the sand
And Jesus in the sky
The people on the beach,
They all come here to die

Goodbye
02:27
|
|||
|
Goodbye my love
We sure had some fun
And I wouldn't take back a moment
That we might've shared
Goodbye my love
I'm sorry to say
I can't decide for you and tell you
What it is you want
So long my love
Should we meet again,
I'd tell you the same things I told you
The first time around
Goodbye my love
Don't worry about me
I'm sorry I can't be the person
You need me to be
