The Fires

When I look out my window today
The world has an unchanging way
The birds are singing all is the same
But beyond my coasts the fires rage
There's peace in this castle of mine
There's good food and music and wine
But out my window just ain't the same
I can see the terrible flames
Chorus:
Sooner or later The Fires will come here too
Sooner or later trouble will surprise you
Sooner or later a brick will come sailing through
Sooner or later chance will have her due
The cold hand of steel... it will clench
The thirst for power cannot be quenched
Greed will finally bring the curtains down
Finding every city... every town

Never Say Die
04:23
|
|||
|
Out in the cold
I call it my home
No one to call my name
Alone here I roam
Inside you stay
Loved, happy, warm
So deep inside I wish
I was never born
Chorus:
So I wish I never knew
What happened to you, uh-huh, ahh-uh-huh
So I fight, Yes I fight
And I'll Never Say Die
Again here I go
Out on my own
No one to love me, baby
I'm still alone
I saw you once more
Outside your door
You smiled and you walked away
That's all I hoped for

Through a Glass
03:47
|

|
So much on my mind yet to say
But there's no time in this life anyway
I had time to waste and I wasted no time
In wasting the time I'd been given
One day I opened my eyes
And I saw a different sunrise
The sun was the same it was I that had changed
And I knew I'd seen a new day
Chorus:
There's a glass that you can't see through
Like silver waters in a mountain pool
Darkly we see through the veil of truth
When darkness has covered the world
And blind eyes turn only inward
Don't look to yourself
'Cause you can't help yourself
There are things only God understands

Vicarious Conduct

I could hold you forever
With nothing in my arms
I could walk through fire for you
To find I encountered no harm
And I could love you completely
But you'd never feel a thing
And I could learn all your secrets
With nothingness in my brain
Chorus:
I don't really need to know the things
That all the people say
I don't really want to know the things
That they do from day to day
I don't really need to know... or care
About the clothes they wear
Cause it doesn't mean a thing.. to me.. you see
One could read your masterpiece
Or admire your work of art
I took the songs of my heroes
And I put them in my heart
Then I put the pen to work
Now I've waited so long
So wait a minute there, mister
Tell me what you think of this song

The Sundowner
03:31
|
|||
|
On his old grey head
He wears a pair of underwear
And spotted overalls
But he's naked underneath
He walks through apple orchard
In the heat of the noontime
And at dusk he drinks his supper
To ease his worried mind
And late in the night
He cries out to the shadows
And counts down the hours
As he's waiting for the light
In his old grey head
Confused thoughts are wandering
But as his madness deepens
He thinks that he's alright
Chorus:
They'll never know about
The little girls trapped in the hall
They're drowning in a crystal ball
Every night... Past Sundown
In the pocket of his robe
He has a twelve inch kitchen knife
To protect him from the things
That are not even there
When people finally came
To take him to a peaceful place
They could not take him gently
And they were three strong men
Now he sits quiet
Relaxed, serene, sedated
First he lost his mind
Then his will to fight
When I think of what he's lost
And all the things that he's passed on
I think of tomorrow
And what's in store for me

Mountain
03:39

They're coming in the morning
To throw me in the streets
'Cause I got no money left to pay my rent
I'll be outta here by noontime
If they don't come any sooner
I can probably set my watch by their arrival
I beg them for one more time
But they say they gotta keep 'em moving
'Cause my money's all that really matters
Chorus:
And my eviction papers are taped to the door
Feels like this has happened to me sometime before
And if this must happen, O God, I pray it happens soon
'Cause I got no where else to go and so much left to do
O my head is hurting
From all the thinking I've been doing but
I got no solution For the trouble that I'm in
Now I'm standing on the Mountain
Staring at the city skyline
I got no where to go and I can think better here
Hey I got no money got no job
No one supports me
So I got no money left to pay my debts

My Wife
05:08

You know this house just ain't a home
Unless you are here, Unless you are here
This house just ain't a home
And I'd be lost if you were gone
Who'd ever find me? No one would find me
If you were gone
You've been at my side for a long long time
You gave my children life, Forever be My Wife
Rushing waters, blowing wind
Can't stop my love babe, won't kill my love dear
It will never end
Lord knows, I was never right
But in the end I will be, In the end we will be
Standing in the light
I'll be at your side for a long long time
The best part of life, Forever be My Wife
Forever you will be the greatest part of me
Tomorrow we will see the other side of eternity

'66
03:54

Moonlight drive in the dead of night
Summer sleeps in my cold headlights
Faded white lines mark a highway of years
Old white crosses – a mother's tears
If roads could talk the stories they'd tell
Better than walls in cheap motels
Chorus:
They say that old money's better than new
I guess that goes for cars too
I'd rather have a '66 than a '99
And the latest model would just blow my mind
So in with the old, and out with the new
They just don't make 'em like they used to
I remember days when my amps were small
And turned straight up was like no amp at all
But oh the sound, the crunch and the tone
I could feel it deep down inside my bones
So give me just enough grit to play the blues
And about ninety years to pay my dues
They say that old money's better than new
I guess that goes for guitars too
I'd rather have a '66 than a '99
And the latest model would just blow my mind
So in with the old, and out with the new
They just don't make 'em like they used to

Mike and Julie
05:13

There's a man and woman live next door
Apartment 103 and I'm 104
Now they fight every night but I'd be lyin' if I said I mind
'Cause it makes a good show when I find the time
The walls are thin as paper – I hear her cry
And Mike starts screaming when he drinks cheap wine
Sometimes at night he wakes up and unlocks the door
It's down to the local bar to drink some more
If Julie wakes up... who cares? What for?
She has a job, he's able-bodied welfare
Sometimes she cleans houses to earn her bus fare
She works at the cafe on 42nd Street
That's where she makes the coffee and cooks the meat
Sometimes I go in there to escape from the streets
Julie's crying... Mike is fighting
And it seems there's no way out
Julie's sighing... Mike is lying
And it seems there's no way out
I remember the night so well
When I decided to move from this hell
Apartment 103 never seemed so quiet
So I went inside and I turned out the light
Had no idea why there was no fight
Later I learned that Julie took her own life
Mike and Julie used to live next door
Mike and Julie used to live next door
Mike and Julie used to live next door
Mike and Julie used to live next door

Insomniac's Lullabye
03:59

On dark late nights when the moon is full
And everyone's asleep in their beds
From quiet darkness springs racing thoughts
And I can't get them out of my head
'Cause I'm a victim of so many things
Nobody cares for me
So if you see me with sleepy eyes
I've just been up late watching TV
And I can't help it don't you know?
I close my eyes and off my mind goes
Off it goes...
I seen the bad men and piano bars
I seen the night and it ain't for me
So I am here at my piano
It's bad at night when you can't find sleep
On dark late night when the moon is full
There is no masquerade
I'll be here with pen in hand
Wide awake with my bed made
And I can't help it don't you know?
I close my eyes and off my mind goes
Off it goes...
