Red Morning Light

You know you could've been a wonder
Taking your circus to the sky
You couldn't take it on the tight rope
No you had to take it on the side
You always like it undercover
Tucked in between your dirty sheets
But no one's even done nuttin' to you
In between the hollers and the screams
And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night ‘till the red morning light

You got your cozy little corner
All night you're jamming on your feet
Hanging out just like a street sign
And put a twenty dollar trick
I hear you're blowin’ like a feather
And then they rub it in your face
Oh once they've had all their fun hun
You're at the bottom of the cage

And I said nah nah hey hey
Another dirty bird ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right

Hey hey another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
Uh hey keep on givin' away and givin' it away
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Hey hey you're givin' all your cinnamon away

Happy Alone

On our way, so it seems, blooming flowers waltz before me
Rolling numbers, passing time, got to get outside the city
In the morning all will see, just how crazy young love can be
On our own away again, don't get down my darling

I'm gonna tangle my face hair, I’m gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the morning, they all cry to me,
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels, and your cherry red lipstick,
Look out your window I'm on your street

Miles away, so unclear, almost lost it in Montana
Lets pull over, have us a choke
I love to watch you when your dancing
I wonder if they ever dream, they would get just what we gave them
All wrapped up in being 19, chasing stars that are falling

When that train heads home
They're gonna be so gone gone, you ain’t never gonna see me
I’m a gone gone, you ain’t nothing to me
When they shine them streets, they're gonna find our song

Wasted Time

It's your life
Don't you let them tell you when to bat your eyes
You're the only one who's gonna sacrifice
Makes no difference if you're right or wrong
Take that ride
But I want your little sister by your side
Maybe little later we can all collide
Do our livin' like a rollin' stone

Time on me is wasted time (3x)
Time on me is wasted
Innocent smile
Runnin' free
Baby's gonna give it like it used to be

Show your face
Livin' in the shadows like you got no name
Enough to make a little girly go insane
Be my guest to let it out tonight
But it's ok
I know all about the little games you play
Shakin' your apple right in my face
Only when you know that I'm begging fort a bite

So won't you show your face - show your face
Your little apple shake - show your face
I know the love you gave - show your face
I know the love you take - show your face

Joe’s Head

Blistered cracked and bleeding
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow
Lingering suspicions
Screaming in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet

This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred i just killed a man
I caught him laying with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead

Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet

Trani

Dirty belly of a secret town
Cheap trick hookers that are hanging out at the bar in the Greyhound station
And the bare-chested boys are going down, another thing that the momma believes
Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, help you feel not so strange

Said old Pa, “She don’t get off, unless somebody standing near.”
“And she’ll shine, once she’s crossed the line, cause all tied to the chair.”
I said, “Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten.”

All the bubbas got their heads in a nod, they don’t know what they love or deserve to get
Chances are they tab their worm in a slab, doesn’t even know which fish that he like to bite tonight, ah tonight, tonight, tonight

Ah maybe, Said old Pa, “She don’t get off, unless somebody near her.”
“And she’ll shine, once she’s crossed the line, hands all tied to the chair.”
I said, “Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten.”
Comes home on call, isn’t that peace, fingers in the dirt, and he’s spitting out his teeth (2x)

California Waiting

Little Mona Lisa laying by my side
Crimson and Clover pulling overtime
I feel too close to be losing touch
By givin’ in, what am I giving up?
Am I losing way too much?

Hey! California waiting
Every little thing is gotta be just right
Say! While you’re tryin’ to save me
I cannot get back my lonely life

I’m going so fast that I can’t slow down
It’s hard to get up when you’re spinning round and round
I’d give you the news but nothing is changed
I’d sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game

Spiral Staircase

Spiral Staircase going down,
Paint your body red and brown,
On our knees, we'll feast on tha sex show.
Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!
Greasy haircuts, a German Chinese girl,
Is gone keep ya'll busy, tugging at my curl,
A get your ass together,
You better walk, walk, walk, a by walking, we cannot run!
A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,
It gets frus-ta-rating, a just a pissing on this wall,
Seems like there's another story bangin',
Around every step you fake.

Molly’s Chambers

Free - is all that she could bleed
That’s why’ll she’ll never stay
White - bare naked in the night
And looking for some play
Just another girl that wants to rule the world
Any time or place
And when she gets into your head
You know she’s there to stay

You want it, she’s got it
Molly’s Chambers gonna change your mind
She’s got your your pistol
Molly’s Chambers gonna change your mind

Slow - She’s burning in your soul
With whispers in your ear
It’s okay I’ll give it anyway
Just get me out of here
You’ll plead - you’ll get down on your knees
For just another taste
And when you think she’s let you in
That’s when she fades away

Genius

Everybody wants to be a showman
Yeah they all got another one
Everybody thinks they got a genius
Everybody got me on the run
Sometimes I think they come here
Just so you can say that you can
And I can't get alone in my bathroom
I need to give myself a hand

Ya'll cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'
Creepin' underneath my skin
Fuck you and your flashbulbs
Snappin' my picture again
You drank all my whiskey
You stole all my smoke
And you're crowded all around me
Like I got nowhere to go

Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill
Time for you to go
I'm-a-gon' spill
It ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here no

You keep stickin' to me like a prickly porcupine
You're gettin' your information from the grocery checkout line
Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession
'Cause I was only messin' and I had a little time

Dusty

Dusty and you are, dirty from chain
Lips of your kisses, are sticking like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I’ll cut you some flowers, now don’t be afraid

I’m looking for something, just sink in my teeth without any crying
But I can’t find no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap and love is divine

Home by the river, tall grass and fields, pond of willow oak, well for to kneel
Dusty O Dusty, decision night, don’t be so pretty, all laced up in white

Where thrills are cheap, and love is divine

Holy Roller Novocaine

My darling you look lovely
I’ve come to lay you down
Uncover your head and submit to me
We’ll make a joyful sound
I don’t care if you’re by yourself
Or you’re all alone when you need my help
Keep that smile on your pretty face
Cause you don’t have much I can’t take away

Don’t you worry baby
You won’t feel a thing
Close your eyes
Holy Roller Novocaine

Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)
I know, I know
Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)

You’ll be hearin’ me comin’
But I can’t come inside
I’ll be out back in my white Cadillac
Won’t you join me for a ride
Will go up to the mountain top
There I’ll show all the goods I got
Don’t look back keep your eyes ahead
This could be the night that the moon goes red

Repete refrão

All the world is moaning
And baby so am I
I’m just givin’ you warning
And I’m telling you why

Lord’s gonna get us back (x4)
I know, I know

Talihina Sky

Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
Ruth B. draws we're fixing to get high
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum

But everydoby says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same, this town is pitiful
And I'll be getting out as soon as I can fly

Life goes by on a Talihina sky

The hopped up boys are looking for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time

Wicker Chair

In your little white wicker chair
Unsuspicious and nobody cares for you
You're so fucked up again
You laugh at nothing in the pouring rain
Try to tell yourself you're not insane
You fool, I hate you sometimes

Hey! You know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's dripping off your face, and you're losing your precious mind

Send me a postcard if you get that far
You got a couple pennies in your rusty jar
The truth you've been gone for awhile
And it's hard looking at you when you look that way
Whith your one night stands and your sleep all days
Ooh you're such a slut sometimes

Hey! You know it ain't coincidental that you're lost in place
It's dripping off your face, and you're losing your precious mind

You're losing your mind.

Slow Night, So Long

Slow night so long, she’s freching out the flavor,
She’s 17 but I done went and plum forgot it

No tears are gone they’re pooling on the table,
No tears are gone they’re leaving their mark behind

So far so good she’s absolutely wasted,
She’s hanging up and changing her story around

I just don’t know where leading ladies come from,
I just don’t known where they can be found

She’s opened up just like she really knows me,
I hate her face, but enjoy the company

I’ll take you home, or back to Oklahoma,
You’re not so nice, but the sex sells so cheap

Rise and shine all you gold-digging mothers,
Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys

King of The Rodeo

He’s so the purity, a shaven and a mourning,
And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray

Straight in the picture pose,
He’s coming around to meet you

And screaming like a battle cry, it’s more if I stay

Me and your cold, driving in the snow,
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll,
Let the good times roll

How dare you come to me like Withnail for a favour,
Hold on my fairy tale you’re trying to start

Take off your overcoat, you’re staying for the weekend,
And swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park.

Good time roll on
