Fade Away

No connection, on the line
A dead man lost on borrowed time, like a
Train that's racing off the tracks,
you can't stay here and you can't go back
took the wrong way, no surprise
and now she's got nowhere to hide, the
Door is open, she could see
The sky was falling around me
Fade Away, Fade Away,
I don't wanna, i don't wanna Fade Away
If my light goes out, will it stay that way?
I don't wanna, i don't wanna fade away
Strike the match and feed the flame,
a rose by any other name
will it wilt away or smell as sweet
or will we all just fall asleep?
Great to be here,
Glad you came!
are you ready to play the game?
same traditions, same old lies
you'll come out on the other side, like a
baby born without a dream
but there's a little more here to see
there's a little more here to see
and you got what i need!

Worthy Adversary

When the fires of burning light came through the walls and the ceiling
You turned your back to me
Could you right all of my wrongs?
If the heavens are real and the bible tells the truth, we're both doomed
The devil's gonna come for me
Could you sing all of my songs?
You're a Worthy Adversary
And I like the way you talk
Could we meet in halls of silence
Where the rooms aren't gonna fall?
When the water rises and the trees all die out, we'll both scream
For a failing masterpiece
Could this really be the end?
Take a handful of ashes and spread em on a football field
Like a ticking timebomb
I could use another friend
You're a Worthy Adversary
And I like the way you talk
Could we meet in halls of silence
Where the rooms aren't gonna fall?
I'm a lazy Exit Flagger
With a suitcase in my hand
Are we here or are we flying
With a place in mind to land?
Please don't go
Cause I can't live
All alone
With the tears
I cry
All alone
Here in the dark
Let's go

Fading Light

I went down to the storefront, baby
To pick up a pair of shoes
So I could run back home to you
If you give me a dollar, honey
I'll give it back to you
You don't owe me nothing at all
But the sun goes down
The Sun Goes Down
The sun goes down across the land
I fell into the river, baby
And now my clothes are soaked
All your loving keeps me dry
Can't forget all my past lives, darling
But I can promise you
All my love's in the hand I hold
Can I see you tonight In the fading light?
when a heart is pure, when a heart is bright?
can we stop the fight in this cold, dark night?
cause i just wanna hold you in the fading light
Took the last train to Philadelphia
Just to find my love
It just seemed like a good place to start
Even if we both part ways
I'll keep the fire strong
Everybody's got a song to sing

Back To California
02:13
|

|
It started raining when I was on the corner
While you were driving away in a Corolla
It took a while but I could not ignore ya
After the war you went back to California
Where did you go when you left in a hurry
I should have known that it wasn't New Jersey
Don't sign your Hancock, don't give me the chameleon
I know you're cold but we're all east of Eden
I'll follow you and I'll always adore ya
All painted ladies go back to California
Sit on your front porch, forget that it's a Monday
My worthless heart will get back to you someday
The dandelion, it burns with desire
Your hills are rolling, your landscape's on fire
Take all your money, invest in the sunshine
A perfect reason to take back the meantime
This east coast sadness drove you into madness
From three thousand miles away
This fast paced lifestyle made you jump the turnstile
And I couldn't make you stay

Time For A Change
03:39

Took a while, but all the smiles you see are false
You can hear the hell dogs barking through the walls
You flew too high, but paradise ain't what you found
There's better luck leaving when the Sun Goes Down
Took a while to push the boulder up the hill
Pretty soon they'll put it on the dollar bill
You risk your neck but it brings you back to the drawing board
You're like a child drawling on the tile floor
It's Time for A Change
I'm sorry Jill, it all came back to memory
With all your fears and all those worthless reveries
And in your eyes I can see the burning rain
Here's to never going back again
It's Time for A Change

Broken Wing
03:23
|

|
The way you rectify my heart
I saw you walking through the dark
The way you bring that hammer down
It lets me know when you're around
You get up early, baby, with spiders in your eyes
It's just like when we started, but I can't recognize
My wings are almost broken, my song is out of tune
It's the reason why I come back home to you
The bee it greets me with a sting
I can not find that diamond ring
There's panic in your voice again
Just like those letters that you sent
CHORUS
I can't see what your eyes can see
I can't see the stars
It's a dream of glass and fixtures
Wondering where we are
CHORUS

Young & Decent

Life is long but it ain't long enough
I hope that we can figure out whats the deal with that sweet stuff
Oh yeah
We've got a whole lot more work to do
But if you wanna come close, well it's not up to you
Oh yeah
Do you think that love’s gonna last?
Does it fade like an old photograph
All I know is we can only look back
I don't think about her much anymore
But once in a while, that will change for sure
Oh yeah
Clean yourself up, get the hell off the ground
Can't you see you're a wreck? Look what you just found
Oh yeah
Do you think that love’s gonna last?
Does it fade like an old photograph
All I know is we can only look back

Walk Away

Girl, you said you'd never walk away
You said you'd never love another
Till you said you love my brother
Girl, you said you'd never walk away
Baby, you deserve just what you get
You said there's something in the water
Hit it just like cannon fodder
Baby, you deserve just what you get
Baby, you just turn it all around
Baby, you just put it in the ground
Cause you're talking to your satellites
And you're staying up to late at night
And you spent all your money and you've gotta make it back alright
Girl, you said you'd never walk away
You said you'd never love another
Till you said you love my brother
Girl, you said you'd never walk away

Another sign crashed into your life
That makes three
Another candle burning into the night
Seventeen
Another sign crashed into your life
Another virgin tattooed on their eye
It’s like a priest getting red in the face
In the valley where we hide our disgrace
It’s alright in the moonlight
As you stand near the streetlights
That you thought were dead
It’s like a river running right through your head
Past the cars that you know won’t start
It’s like a bullet gunning straight to the heart of the night
Not every fire and moon are the same
It’s just true
You’re just responding to your marvelous dreams
That’s part two
While you encounter every myth of the world
The part you always thought you could ignore
Was blowing smoke in the town where you’re from
And driving past all the old and the young
It’s alright in the moonlight
As you stand near the streetlights
That you thought were dead
It’s like a river running right through your head
Past the cars that you know won’t start
It’s like a bullet gunning straight to the heart of the night
