You Don't Come Around

you don't come around
not like you used to
my baby's waiting at the pearly gates
she's got time to kill & a great escape
there's a voodoo moon & an open grave
where nothing is lost when nothing is saved
i'm a water child
acquiesced for you
|

there are no walls between you & me
there are no walls between you & me
we are standing on the border line
where you get yours & i get mine
in the distance,
a sea of palisades guard your heart
when you hide your face
we are tides in the moonlight
at ease. at ease.

Blood Red Moons

she lays on the floor
says "you got that far away look in your eye."
i say "i've been thinking about oil wells & cold wars,
table talk, & over sized cities incestuously crashing into each other. yes, i've been thinking about a transient jesus. i've been thinking about a transient jesus & i believe there are no more watchtowers. just pillars of giraffes tempting, flowing. tempting. flowing."
"tell me what you see."
"two angels staring. two angels staring back at me.
that's what i see."
we all got tired. tired of waiting & tired of choices
i wish, i wish, i wish i could be anywhere
but right here right now & see the blood red mooons
& galileo. Galileo!
Judas hanging from a tree,
tell me what you see?
"two angels staring. two angels staring back at me.
that's what i see."

there are thirteen ways to see the truth
there are thirteen ways it comes back to you
it comes back to you
your sister's here
she won't disappear
but you don't need it now
"how did you get so superstitious?"
"when did you get so far from me?"

Hang Your Head Down Low
03:15
|

you gotta watch it now
cause they are coming round the bend
in a lazy style, trying to make some friends
but the weight's too heavy for their backs to carry
you understand it ain't ever going to be the same again.
but don't you hang your head down low
forget everything you've known.
everything you have known.
now there's a new face, pale face
in the in betweens of what you say
& what you think it means.
the angels & the devils,
they don't practice disbelief
& a loaded gun ain't what makes a dead man bleed.
that don't make a dead man
hang your head down low.
you just forget everything you've known.

standing in shadows.
standing in shadows & moons
two white horses follow you.
who crowns the living?
who crowns the living in tombs
when two white horses follow you?
who looks for heaven?
who looks for heaven in you?
well...not like i do.
running from shadows
running from shadows & moons
two white horses follow you

Luna & The Ocean Deep
03:02
|
|||
i've been walking that long dirty road
and there ain't no going home.
lord how long?! how long will it take
till i know my rightful place?
then the lord said "See the blood red moons
and then you'll know the end is coming soon."
Hey Luna! Luna & the ocean deep,
i hear your whisper reeling through the trees
the river floods your home
& them north winds chill my baby's bones.
yeah yeah yeah

The Wait
02:45
|

there's a trial, there's a trip you take
down a lonely road to a lonely place
where everyone leaving goes.
there's a wait, there's a long long line
to get what you need & to keep what you find
when everyone leaving goes.
the dark don't hide you from the face of the moon.
you can't outrun what you can't undo
don't look back now, you know what you might see...
babe, i'd love you better if you only had eyes for me.

Dark Horse/Big Guns
04:18
|
|||
the ghost of a face is my one enemy
peering in on me when i sleep to deep.
everything's familiar in these tiny cities
nothing tastes as bitter as finding your hands empty.
you can lead a horse to water, beat it till it's dead
all that make believing, riddles in your head.
"go get your dark horse. i'll get my gun. we'll go riding where the sun don't rise."
"now whose got the big guns? now who holds the rain in the palm of his hand?"
