OKLA 03:10
Oleander in the hot fall air I love you baby, with your bleached white hair Round the corner and get down that hill I love you baby, with your happy pill Hand reached out into the sky Slip your dream into the night You my preacher of mythology I love you baby, with your silver screen Surround me with your plastic sheet I love you baby, you’re a part of me Cahuenga in the dying light Never felt more alive I feel red loss, shame of the wanting I know I don’t got all you be needing But that’s ok, that’s ok, I love you baby, anyway But that’s ok, that’s ok, I love you baby, anyway Pour me liquor put your phone away I don’t need to see your back today Take that mirror down I can’t, I can’t How dare you show me who I am L.A. river only hot concrete Say forever like it means something I feel red loss, shame of the wanting I know I don’t got all you be needing But that’s ok, that’s ok, I love you baby, anyway But that’s ok, that’s ok, I love you baby, anyway Baby why you don’t, give me what I think I want? Baby why you don’t, give me what I think I want? That’s ok, that’s ok, I love you baby, anyway

Machine 03:21
Walk out back I always found you head inside an engine With your rag pushed into your back pocket Hand me ratchet pass me socket I pretend to be taken by resistors and cables Filters, carburetors, and fuel injection ratios That’s when you were happy Elbow on the panel Smiling out the window Listening to the gravel She tells me like I need reminding Things round here been slowly dying I run out to my haven Getting away from the fuss and fightin Don’t come around here complaining About surface conversation Struggling with emotion And bad communication That’s when you were happy Elbow on the panel Smiling out the window Listening to the gravel You’re listening but do you hear the machine? All that talk of global warming Electric is the future coming They’re going to outlaw V8 engine Carburetor, fuel injection And you won’t understand them And they’ll leave you behind Now you could understand me But you would have to try That’s when you were happy Elbow on the panel Smiling out the window Listening to the gravel You’re listening but do you hear the machine?

I like it when we’re moving Then I can be slow down I can get to thinking, and I know you’ll be around You’re there to watch me watching, all the world go by You’re there to hear the question, why? how? why? Someone to tell it to, ain’t I the lucky one? someone to tell it to I like it when we’re riding, like we part of the wave I like it when you’re smiling, at nothing just the day Then I feel it coming, the trouble in the tide And I’m here for you cryin, why now? why? Someone to tell it to, ain’t I the lucky one? someone to tell it to I don’t like it when we get there, it reminds me there’s an end And I wanted to keep going, can we go again? I had so much more to tell you, I had so much more to ask I guess I want you to be with me, when what’s coming, comes to pass Someone to tell it to, ain’t I the lucky one? someone to tell it to All the wrongs I’ve done, all the words untrue You took my open hand and heart, and you said I love you Someone to tell it to, ain’t I the lucky one? someone to tell it to

Give Me Up 03:24
I see you dance, I see you move The freedom cut me to the bone I want your soul I hear you laugh, I see you smile I want to look out of your eyes I want your light, as mine Rap that window all you want This will not be your home You put those people in your head Now you can’t be left alone God bless your crooked little heart God damn your yellow soul Hey man, wanna go, and fly in unknown? Don’t give me up, don’t get me down Lay your pride in the ground I see you pout, I hear you doubt Kick the life out of yourself You don’t need no one’s help I see you reach, I see you bow Hear the yearning of your heart But baby who you are, is not your art Rap that window all you want This will not be your home You put those people in your head Now you can’t be left alone God bless your crooked little heart God damn your yellow soul Hey man, wanna go, and fly in unknown? Don’t give me up, don’t get me down Lay your pride in the ground Whatever one might feel Whatever one might see Is a little screen in between Hey man, wanna go, and fly in unknown? Don’t give me up, don’t get me down Lay your pride in the ground Any old time you seek you will find Will is all in your mind Don’t give me up, don’t get me down Lay your pride in the ground

Forgiven not forgotten, the stars are made of sin The past is steady knockin, don’t you let it in Is it so hard to believe, That you could ever love me? I’m no Doctor I’m no Dean I’m no Martin I’m a little more Baldwin baby Is it so hard to believe That you could ever love me? Oh I’m no Doctor I’m no Dean I’m no heartache But there’s a little darkness underneath So hear me now Where you been? Hear me now, where you goin? Back to that old town And that old country road? Hear me now old friend Forgiven not forgotten, the stars are made of sin The past is steady knockin, don’t you let it in If you hadn’t been there, how else would you know? How could you have got here unless you had the road? A little boy went walkin, out into the world You’d hardly think to mark him, plainly he did go He happened on a hunger, that grew into his mind And soon it rang like thunder, shook him from inside The past is steady knockin, don’t you let it in A figure at the gatepost, you can’t be sure it’s him The road is out before, your feet are made of lead The question needs the answer, but it hasn’t got it yet Is it so hard to believe That you could ever love me? I’m no Doctor I’m no Dean I’m no heartache But there’s a little darkness underneath

Shalom 02:51
Shalom young child Come to the way Whisper me sacred code Reason on fire Hell is on call Waiting for war to come It don’t matter baby, where it’s coming from Run me down on mainstreet From your horse on high Take me out and shoot me Under cloak of night Get all this down Someone must lead Tell me you understand Talking outlawed Thinking on trial Doubting is violence March thee with your virtue in your hand March thee further toward the promised land Run me down on mainstreet From your horse on high Take me out and shoot me Under cloak of night Shalom young child Come to the way Whisper me sacred code Reason on fire Hell is on call Waiting for war to come Devil may care where it’s coming from

Young 03:29
Adolesce, struggle with the thought of being useless Wander through the fog through the forest Happen on a creature in the dark And the beast is hungry Figure this one, do that little tough-boy look with your jaw Put a little competent in your walk No don’t look back, keep your head up, breathe, look it in the eye Young and ready, young will testify into the night, “come get me” All about you, every shred of pain, felt again, you mark me Altruist, everything from comrade to populist All of it beginning in a mystery Seeing through the eye of a needle And thinking makes thinking so, where am I though? Do that little rat-race dance on the poor Do that little tough-boy look with your jaw What’s your God’s name? What’s your end-game Why won’t you look me in the eye? Young and ready, young will testify into the night, “come get me” All about you, every shred of pain, felt again, you mark me You, you, you, the animal Atrophy, knowing that the end would come for everything Happen on the creature in the forest One last tough-boy look with your jaw Lift it up, show your throat to the claw Feel your heartbeat, breathe, look it in the eye Young and ready, young will testify into the night, “come get me” All about you, every shred of pain, felt again, you mark me

Passing mobile Alabama, headed for Atlanta Chrysler turned over in the road Young boy dead on the black top Head open, heart stopped Bless your soul At the border into Georgia I could go no further Young boy tattooed on my brain At the lonesome place he died His body looked me in the eye And I had to know his name I’ve a lot of love for you But that won’t change the fact I’ve a lot of love for you But that won’t bring you back He was Robert Delacroix He was running from the law He had many warrant up against his name The Chrysler he had stolen from his father Who would ask after the car When the call to him was made His Momma cried herself to sleep Every night for many weeks She had tried to set him straight and raise him right But the world had cut into his soul And only so much love can flow Into a heart that wants to fight I’ve a lot of love for you But that won’t change the fact I’ve a lot of love for you But that won’t bring you back In Atlanta the rain came down I, a free man, night off on the town I thanked my mother, for love of old And I thanked the world For sparing my soul

Morning Rain 03:04
In that morning rain, when you sang to me in the dunes In that morning rain, when you sang to me in the dunes I make it, out of all the memories, I can call upon That’s the winner When you turned to me, and you spoke the words, I had before When you turned to me, and you spoke the words, I had before I make it, out of all the feelings, I would want returned That’s the winner In that moment, nothing else could matter In that moment, nothing else could matter In that moment, nothing else could matter But the winner

Minnesota, when I was your daughter I looked up to you I thought that you knew all there was to know I thought that you’d been where you had to go Minnesota, now that I’m your mother I see you as you are You’re not some shining star, not a destination You’re a growing child, that I hope to raise right My hopes for you are my hopes for me My dreams for you are my dreams for me America, when I was your daughter You meant the world to me You held my every dream You promised me protection You promised me my freedom America, now that I’m your mother Now that you’re the younger I’m trying to hold your hand I hope you understand That if you don’t move toward them Dreams get broken My hopes for you are my hopes for me My dreams for you are my dreams for me And I love you like a trouble-child I love you like a river wild I love you like a mother dead I love you like a dawning

Rollin’ with the devil Holdin’ baby’s hand Wanna get to heaven He don’t understand On into the Reeperbahn he knew most every soul Cryin’ for their moms Hangin’ for a smoke Everything is all good Up until its not Punch your card with Pedro Tell me what you got Buddy up here waiting on your truck come into view That other thing you like Be right here waiting too Davey if you’re saved then Tell the girl hello I don’t think I’ll make it Headed down below I’d have had a better shot at landing on the moon It’s never what they say It’s only what they do

This is the cart that I used to push when I was a young babe Push push the cart, push the cart Push the cart all day This is the tree that I used to climb when I was a young child Hang from the bow, from the bow From the bow till you come down Nobody knows where it came from Nobody knows where it goes Try to look light upon it It will be dark if you don’t This is the heart that I beat since before I was born Beat beat the heart, beat the heart Beat the heart all night long This is the dream that I wrote when I was a young soul Dream dream the dream, dream the dream Dream the dream, carry me home Nobody knows where it came from Nobody knows where it goes Try to look soft upon it It will be hard if you don’t This is the place where I stood when my mother died Hang, hang the head, hang the head Hang the head down and cry That one is you, this one is me, we are human beings Beat beat the heart, dream dream the dream Push push the cart, so it seems
