Big Mystery
I want to fire my guns
I want to come out blazing like firewood
But someone's got to hold this fort
Someone's got to stay sane, as if anyone ever could
And what I wouldn't give to walk down Sunset Boulevard
And have all the lights shine just for us
I would take us to the highest spot
Look down on everything and everyone
Until they're all just tiny dots
Big, big, big mystery
Big mystery in the sky
Big, big, big mystery
Lean down and save us tonight
I want to shine like an emerald
I want to wave like the sea
I want to scream bloody murder
Does anyone understand me?
I want to cozy up to home
I want to feel my roots grow through
And through and through
I want you all to myself
Could there ever be just me and you?
Big, big, big mystery
Big mystery in the sky
Big, big, big mystery
Lean down and save us tonight
This is the way that it should be
This is a big, big game with big, big odds
Come on, come on, play with me
I want to shine like an emerald
I want to wave like the sea
I want you all to myself
Could there ever be just you and me?
Big, big, big mystery
Big mystery in the sky
Big, big, big mystery
Lean down and save us tonight

Goodbye Century

Goodbye century. I never thought I’d see
All of these miserable choices I’ve made
Come rushing back to me
It’s a breakdown of the nerves, it’s a mirror in front of me
It’s a simple recollection of all of my time,
It’s my goodbye century
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further
Goodbye century, Goodbye calamity
It’s a push over the edge, it’s the other side
It’s my unbarred reverie
It’s a simpler way to go,
It’s a home where there was no home
It’s a million other choices in front of me,
My goodbye century
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further...........
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further
Its a mirror in front of me,
It’s a home where there was no home.

Suspended
05:00
|

So you stayed there ‘til 2:00,
thought you’d keep your eye on her
But keeping love for herself is like caging a bird
and when she gives it away, she’ll be weak for a moment
She’ll forget her own face, she’ll forget her own name
Did you imagine that she would go running?
Did you imagine horses wild in your head?
She said, “I used to fall freely,
I would have been at your feet
I used to fall freely but something suspended me
I used to fall freely, I would have been at your feet
I used to fall freely but something suspended me”
She just hangs from the sky, while he dreams of her love
but she’s forgetting his face, she’s forgetting his name
Did you imagine that she would go running?
Did you imagine horses wild in your head?
I used to fall freely, I would have been at your feet
I used to fall freely but something suspended me
I used to fall freely, I would have been at your feet
I used to fall freely but something suspended me
something suspended me
something suspended me

Leo is angry at me most of the time
I guess he has no mirror in his home
He likes to say I ruined him
I ruined him, I ruined him
For a ruined man, he sure does carry on...
But the truth is binding and I keep winding
Down from the fights we have
And breaks keep breaking, takers taking
Everything in their path
There's a bitter seed in the sweetest fruit
There's a stockyard full of selfish ones
There's Leo breathing down my back,
Down my back, down my back
There's a reason why I'm moving on...
But the truth is binding and I keep winding
Down from the fights we have
And breaks keep breaking, takers taking
Everything in their path
Again, again, again, again,
And more, more, no more, no
You want everything, everything, everything
Leo is angry at me most of the time
I guess he has no mirror in his home
He likes to say I ruined him
I ruined him, I ruined him
For a ruined man, he sure does carry on...
But the truth is binding and I keep winding
Down from the fights we have
And breaks keep breaking, takers taking
Everything in their path

Little Big Town

LITTLE BIG TOWN
You look like a statue in the sunlight on my lawn
And you feel like marble,
How long has this been going on?
You look so aimless in the reflections
Of the windows of downtown
And you feel so nameless,
A crownless king, we let you down
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me
I ask you questions,
And you simply nod your head
In my direction, you say “Please just leave me for dead…”
I wish I could tell you but I barely know myself
And I know I need you but I can’t accept your help”
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me
I know this town is small and everyone
Knows each others’ lives,
But I still can’t figure out all the sadness in your eyes
It’s ok, I’ll wait here anyway, wait here for you to say You’re o.k.
In Little Big Town, baby, I wish you would
Come on back to me
It’s lonely in this town, maybe if I were to
Get down on my knees
And Little Big Town baby, it stretches as far as we can see
And it would be all right, if you were here with me

Murder & Mayhem
06:26
|
|||
|
He lived in an Airstream
He never talked to anyone
And in all his silence he could hear the devil speak
Calling him prodigal son
He drove an 18-wheeler in the black of night
Down highway 101
There she stood on the side of the road
Just trying to get home
This will not be pretty, this is not what you want to hear,
This could be your daughter, this could be the year
For Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
Murder & Mayhem.........
As soon as the door slammed shut
She felt her body freeze and the fear came rushing in
Six years down that bloody road he rolled
And he reeked of the devil’s sin
And if she believed in God and God believed in her
Then the moment had arrived
When he reached his hands to suffocate the angel
Was God there by her side
This will not be pretty, this is not what you want to hear,
This could be your daughter, this could be the year
For Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt Co.)
Oohhh, no, nooooooo
Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
Murder & Mayhem (in Humboldt County)
In Humboldt, Humboldt, oh God forbid............

The Unfair Fight
04:18
|
|||
|
Don’t think I don’t notice you
Staring at my body while I sing
Your psychotic thoughts are rooted
Way down deep inside your greed
I know what sexy is, I wear it splendidly
Don’t think that entitles you, entitles you to everything
What if I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight
If I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight,
In the unfair fight
Don’t think I don’t notice you outside my house at night
I smell the stench of your sick desire,
You still don’t have the right
I know what sexy is, I wear it splendidly
Don’t think that entitles you, entitles you to everything
What if I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight
If I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight,
In the unfair fight
What would you do? I’m coming after you
What would you do? I’m coming after you
I’m coming after you.......
Don’t think I don’t notice you staring at my body tonight
Your psychotic thoughts are lucid in this light
They’re lucid in this light- You still don’t have the right
What if I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight
If I came after you in the middle of the night
You’d be the ugly coward in the unfair fight,
In the unfair fight, in the unfair fight.....
What if I came after you (What would you do?)
What if I came after you (What would you do?)
What if I came after you?

If You're The One
04:38
|

|
I look up at the happy little pockets of sunshine in the sky
If I could reach up there and bring them down
They would mirror what’s in your eye
But was I the one? Was I the one?
The jingle of the tambourine reminds me of a Dylan song today
And praises of the prose that I was thinking of just fall along the way
But were you the one? Were you the one?
If you’re the one I’d hold on to, when it all falls down
If you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
Oh if you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
‘Cause if you’re the one I’d hold you closer
Knowing all of the time that you, that you were the one
Humankind surprises us just when we were all ready to be let down
Hey, look, here comes that angel wearing nothing but a halo for a crown
I can sleep well at night knowing that love lives in this house
But if you are a dream then please expose yourself
Let everything come out
‘Cause if you’re the one, if you’re the one
If you’re the one I’d hold on to when it all falls down
If you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
Oh if you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
‘Cause if you’re the one I’d hold you closer
Knowing all of the time that you, that you were the one
If you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
Oh if you’re the one (I’d hold you down)
‘Cause if you’re the one I’d hold you closer
Knowing all of the time that you, that you were the one

The Ballad Of Georgie
05:41
|
|||
|
The bridge patrol was only minutes late
As they chased Georgie across the Golden Gate
Nobody noticed at the party that she had gone
The taxi driver didn’t see she had only boxers on
They used to notice when Georgie would change her hair
From eggplant to gorgeous china red
They even noticed who Georgie took to bed
Now they just say “hey man, did you hear that Georgie’s dead?”
Just like the colors of prisms in blue skies, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade
Georgie had tattoos on both her wrists,
Cover the scars with leaves and vines and twists
All from the green of the tattoo pen
To hide the truth until she would try it again
Just like the colors of the Sistine Chapel, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade
Just like the colors, just like the colors, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade
And oh, they like to say they knew her when she was
How they like to say they knew her when she was
Happy --but Georgie was never happy
The Bridge Patrol was only minutes late
As Georgie jumped from the Golden Gate
She saw the light of the city against the black of the sky
And just for a second there was so much life in her eyes, in her eyes
Just like the colors of the Lascaux Paintings, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade
Just like the colors, of prisms in blue skies, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade
Just like the colors, just like the colors, please don’t fade
She was amazing, she was exquisite, please don’t fade..............

Vampires
04:07
|

|
Well, I'm food for the vampires but I always survive
I'm forever a shelter but there's nowhere to hide
I'm a mirror for the wicked, literature for the wise
I'm that shadow that scares you
when you look to your side
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on
I reflect you like water and you're sucking me dry
If you believe that I'm a healer
Then you're bound to deny everything I say
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on
I'm as hard as the lesson, I'm as soft as they get
I can see you've been listening
I can watch you forget everything I say
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on
Go on, go on, I wish this on no one, go on, go on

I Know It's You
04:24
|
|||
|
When the wind shakes the trees, I know it’s you
And no one feels the breeze but me, it’s you
And when the light points like fingers to earth, it’s you
When my poppies bloom first, I know it’s you
Heaven couldn’t keep you away from me now
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how
But I know, I know it’s you
Amidst all the chaos there’s a moment of calm
Or when a butterfly lands right in your palm
When the sun in December burns warmer than Spring
Then I know it is you in everything
Heaven couldn’t keep you away from me now
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how
But I know, I know, I know, I know it’s you
When I’m alone, I can hear your laughter
And in everyone I can see your face
From the sky, I can feel, I can feel you watching
And in every touch is your embrace
Heaven couldn’t keep you away from me now
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how
But I know, I know it’s you
Heaven couldn’t keep you away from me now
I don’t know why, and I don’t know how
But I know, I know it’s you
I know, I know it’s you, I know, I know it’s you

A Life I Never Knew
05:11
|
|||
|
It was a life I never knew, I was a high wire dancer
I was married to a gypsy man
And our children, they rode elephants
My sister worked at the concession stand
Selling hot dogs to Americans
My father, he was the muscle man
He could lift 500 pounds in each hand
All day... I could ride this train all day
All day... I could ride this train all day
It was a life I never knew, I was a trailer park junkie
My veins a road map through Tennessee,
Never knew who’d wake up next to me
All day... I could ride this train all day
All day... I could ride all day
All day... I could ride all day
It was a life I never knew
I had a million bucks, maybe two
I had everything, nothing to do
I would sit out by my pool so blue
I would sit out by my pool so blue....
All day... I could ride this train all day
All day... I could ride all day
All day... I could ride all day
All day... I could ride this train all day
