Horsehead Lyrics

Horsehead got you bug eyed
Horsehead left the day for night
Horsehead ain't no dragonfly
Horsehead help you live a lie

You cannot see the hole in front of you
And I will see you down if you want me to

You are blessed with just one life
All you are is what's inside
If you take, then step aside
Jesus gave until he died

Horsehead feel your soul fall
Horsehead gonna take a dive
Horsehead ain't no good at all
Horsehead said you're gonna die

Cursed Diamond Lyrics

I lose myself
I forget myself
Sometimes I fault myself
I might fight myself
But then I make amends

I freeze myself
Rain on myself
Ok, so I stone myself
And I might even find myself
But then again what happens if I do

So unzip my pride
Open me up wide
So I can show this to you

I want to shine for you
I want to sparkle too
Just like a diamond cursed
Well you know it don't get worse
You know that I'll save you time
Your trouble now is mine

Hold me baby
Hold me girl
And I will laugh with you
If you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
And show you victory

I hate myself
Doesn't everybody hate themselves
So what, I scare myself
Then I tell myself that it's all in my mind
So I let the poison go
'Cause baby I always know
It will be there for me

Over The Hill Lyrics

I'm going away to leave you, I'm going to leave you in disgrace
Nothing in my favour, got the wind in my face
I'm going home, hey hey hey, over the hill
Over the hill, hey hey hey, over the hill

Can't get enough of sweet cocaine, get enough of mary jane
Going back to where I come from, going rolling back home again
Over the hill, hey hey hey, over the hill
Over the hill, hey hey hey, over the hill

Been worried about my babies, been worried about my wife
Just one place for a man to be when he's worried about his life
I'm going home, hey hey hey, over the hill
Over the hill, hey hey hey, over the hill

I'm going away to leave you, I'm going to leave you in disgrace
Got nothing in my favour, rain in my face
I'm going home, hey hey hey, over the hill
Over the hill, hey hey hey, over the hill

Magic Rooster Blues Lyrics

Black dove surrender and take me away
Your black heart pretender has got nothing to say
Did you remember I showed you the way
Down my garden path right out of the past that leads to the light of day

Pale moon deliver my love on the wing
It's been two Septembers since I heard that bird sing
So I'll wait by the river to see what it brings
If she don't come I'll go ask the sun to send her on the way

So make a little morning out of my midnight
Whisper in my ear baby it's alright
Let's put some holes baby in them shoes
Come and sail away in the magic rooster blues

Dark tears turn diamonds strung out on a chain
In a bag of velvet hidden away
And if love's a ransom that I must pay
I'd empty that bag right into her hands and turn and walk away

So make a little morning out of my midnight
Whisper in my ear baby it's alright
Come and put some holes baby in them shoes
Come and sail away in the magic rooster blues

Fact of the matter
The lamb's getting fatter
The berries' ripe on the vine
The wine is warm
The sun is strong
And I do believe that it's time

So make a little morning out of my midnight
Whisper in my ear baby it's alright
Come on let's put some holes in them shoes
And come and sail away in the magic rooster blues

Come on sail away
Come on sail away
Come on sail away

My Hearts Been Killing Me Lyrics

You were so sad you made my dogs howl
You kept the ring, forgot the vow
You were so sick that you almost died
You needed help, but nobody tried

Will this crime ever go to trial
My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me
This love won't let me be
My heart's killing me
It's just you, it's just me
My heart's killing me

One sad bird on one sad fence
I cannot move, I've no defense
Staring at two helpless hands
And all I want is to hold you again

Will this crime ever go to trial
My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me
This love won't let me be
My heart's killing me
It's just you, it's just me
My heart's killing me

Better When You're Not Alone Lyrics

I love you in the worst way
The only way I know
They say the clearer the water
The more that it shows
They say the deeper the river
The stronger the love
Your eyes don't lie to me
And your smile is worth its weight in gold
This life, this life aches
And this life moans
This life is great, this life is great
And it's better when you're
Not alone, not alone

You love me in the worst way
The only way you know
They say the higher the mountain
The more love that grows
They say the stronger the wind blows
The farther we'll go
I hope you don't lie to me
There's nothing better than your touch
How many times does this happen
Two people like us meet
As I try to be humble and lay
Down at your feet

Forgiven Song Lyrics

Here I walk with the tears in my hand
Watch the world as it sinks in the sand
Will them bells chime for the wrong
Will we stop before too long?

You bring the letters and I'll bring the wine
And we'll keep on looking until the right time
For me to be better, so please be patient
'Til I see the world through the eyes of you

How can we get through the day
And stop the bleed of our patron saint?
Ponder questions of right or wrong
That lead us to this forgiven song

You bring the letters and I'll bring the wine
And we'll keep on looking until the right time
For me to be better, so please be patient
'Til I see the world through the eyes of you

You bring the letters and I'll bring the wine
And we'll keep on looking until the right time
For me to be better, so please be patient
'Til I see the world through the eyes of you

Someday Past The Sunset Lyrics

Well there's something missing
But they won't drag the river
God sends his children
Out into the street
You can dig all you want
There's no buried hatchets
Just bones on the table
Burnholes in the seats and
I feel weary in the weight of these days

I've been down with dogs
I've been low with toads
And I have walked down the road
The old hermit won't go

I've felt the holy
In infinite spaces
And I read the name
While they all hid their faces

And I feel weary in the weight of these days
And I'm feeling weary in the weight of these days

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
We'll shine like chrome with
Snow white angel wings

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
Known by the known, the dreamers of the dream
And stitch by stitch we work to tear the seam

One hand in the sky
One on the third rail
Your mind can't be free
When your soul is in jail
So long live the chains
Set thy iron free
Long live your king
When he's dead like me

But I feel weary in the weight of these days
Well I feel weary in the weight of these days

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
Well shine like chrome with
Snow white angel wings

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
Known by the known, the dreamers of the dream
And stitch by stitch we work to tear the seam

Behind the door
Eyes of stone
Listen to the voices
That won't leave you alone
Climb up the vine
That goes straight to your mind
get lost in the jungle
of your own space & time

Well I feel lucky in the weight of these days
Well I feel lucky in the weight of these days

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
Well shine like chrome with
Snow white angel wings

Will you meet me someday past the sunset
Known by the known, the dreamers of the dream
And stitch by stitch we work to tear the seam

Welcome To The Goodtimes Lyrics

Did it make you stop and think
You're on the brink
And not to test you 'cause you
Don't know how far you'd go
Did you make a big mistake
You curse your fate
And you wish you could leave this life
For just one day

Welcome to the goodtimes honey
Did you bring your own parade?
Welcome to the big time baby
Time for a serenade

Did you say you lost your pride?
You tried to hide
But you're not strong enough
To ever get away

And it only goes to show
What we all know
That the tables will surely turn
For you one day

It should come as no surprise
Just realize, that when it all comes down
Who is really on your side

Roll Um Easy Lyrics

Oh I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue

And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with kings and queens
And darling oh darling
You're the best thing I ever seen

Won't you roll me easy
So slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension no tension
You walking, talking paradise
Sweet paradise

Well I've been across this country
From Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls that could sing so sweet
Like the angels who live in Houston
Singing "Roll me easy"
So slow and easy
Play the concertina
I'll be your temptress
And baby I'm defenseless
Singing harmony in unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist your flag and then beat your drum

Cold Boy Smile Lyrics

I'll fetch you water from the well
If you sweep all the ashes out into the wind
As we sit by the candlelight again
Two moths that hover close to the light of morning

And how you made this cold boy smile
From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired
And you showed me the lessons of simple things
How love made this cold boy sing

Some say that love is the poem of life
Some say that love is the pain of being alive
Some say there's nothing on the other side
Some have traded their souls for just a good time

And how you made this cold boy smile
From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired
How you showed me the lessons of simple things
How love made this cold boy sing

When we are in harmony
When we are in harmony

And how you made this cold boy smile
From the storm you took me weathered, weary and tired
How you showed me the lessons of simple things
How love made this cold
How love made this cold
How love made this cold boy sing

Bring On Bring On Lyrics

What could I do different?
It makes one sober to think
In an age of illusion
It's hard to know when to stop
How could I live indifferent
Believing in time and fate
As long as I have a witness
My name is not at stake

Bring on this flowering
Bring on, Bring on
Bring on this flowering
Bring on thou words cannot describe

Would you stop to listen
The words cannot describe
It's hard waiting for heaven
May your song keep you alive

And on the day I said goodbye
My drowning tear catches a light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eye, darkness into light
I can rest my soul and
walk in the light
I'm positively spring time
The gift of sight
The baby's eye
Darkness into light

Driving Wheel Lyrics

Well I just came up on the midnight special how about that
My car broke down in Texas she stopped dead in her tracks

Just called to tell you that I need you
Just called to tell you how I feel
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel

Took my money on the night train what a terrible fight
I gave my promise I would be there with you by Saturday night
I wanna tell you that I need you baby
I need to tell you just how I feel

I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Can't say much in a phone call baby you know how it is
I have to tell you one short thing oh won't you listen to this

I want to tell you that I love you baby
I want to tell you just how I feel
I feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel
Feel like some old engine lost my drivin wheel

Leave It Alone Lyrics

It's a...meeting of the eyes
To some...we stand on the middle line
Threesome...a child is brought on time
By some...for us to come alive

We could feel sunshine
We could peel the rhine

You've been talking about my life
Sat and judged it on your own time
Will you leave it alone
Don't say no leave me alone

We walk...we walk our path is chosen
To speak...to speak with words unfrozen
To laugh...to laugh and be carefree
Without...without you to scold me

It could be someone
It could be someone else

You've been talking about my life
Sat and judged it on your own time
Will you leave it alone
Don't say no leave me alone

We could feel sunshine
We could peel the rhine

You've been talking about my life
Sat and judged it on your own time
Will you leave it alone
Don't say no leave me alone

Polly Lyrics

If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins

Dreams can cover much time
Still they leave blind
The will to begin
I searched for you there
And now look for you from within

Polly, come home again
Spread your wings to the wind
I felt much of the pain
As it begins v

Darling Of The Underground Press Lyrics

So the story goes that you
Sold your soul for delusions of beauty and courage
While young at heart is a nice place to start
Can the truth hold all this baggage

So tell all your foes
Because my friends know
That your white flag ain't no sign for surrender
And those books that you've read have gone straight to your head
And made you the great pretender

I've heard that it's good to think before you speak
Though I've heard that it's good to bathe once a week

So tell me how it feels it if even seems real to be the darling of the underground press
Baby please can I see some ID
I don't believe you come from a royal family

I've heard that it's good to think before you speak
Though I've heard that it's good to bathe yourself once a week
Oh I've heard that it's good to look before you cross
No one, no one will ever find you if you don't get yourself lost

Jealous Again Lyrics

Cheat the odds that made you
Brave to try to gamble at times
Well I feel like dirty laundry
Sending sickness on down the line
Tell you why

'Cause I'm jealous, jealous again
Thought it time I let you in
Yeah, I'm jealous, jealous again
Got no time, baby

Always drunk on Sunday
Try'n to feel like I'm at home
Smell the gasoline burning
Boys out feeling nervous and cold

(Repeat 1st Chorus)

Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of losing face
Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of ever losing faith in you
Never felt like smiling
Sugar wanna' kill me yet
Find me loose lipped and laughing
Singing songs ain't got no regrets
(Repeat 1st and 2nd Chrous)

Don't you think I want to
Don't you think I would
Don't you think I'd tell you baby
If I only could
Am I acting crazy
Am I just too proud
Am I just plain lazy
Am I, Am I, Am I, ever

Forever Young Lyrics

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young

Thorn In My Pride Lyrics

Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines
Tell me about your heartaches
Who could be so unkind?
Do you dream to touch me?
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me?
It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Are you wanting inspiration
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be.
Do you hear me breating?
Does it make you want to scream?
Did you ever like a bad dream?
Sometimes life is obscene.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride.
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine
Lover cover me with a good dream
Let your love light shine
