01. Liar
you will always be forgotten
when you're in an empty room
you will always call me darlin'
when i push you down the stairs
and i’ll have relapses of your memory
and it’s getting awful bad
cause the money's in their eyes
and it’s in my tar stained heart
when i come up to meet you
don't believe a word i say
cause i’ll always be mistaken
when i turn away and lie
honey i’ll lie
so let’s sit down at the diner
and salute to better days
cause till then the clock is ticking
and the sound will drive us insane
02. I Call it Pain
what's got your heart
on fire
is it desire
can you feel it inside her
i call it pain
it stings like the rain
it’s fixing its aim
on us
but you can call it love
i know you call it love
you call it love
i know you call it love
you call it fame
it runs through your veins
escapes your mouth
just like smoke
and i call it pain
it stings like the rain
it’s fixing its aim
on us
and all i want is love
give me your love
all i need is love
give me love
03. I'm So Blind
come on can’t we see this through
there's ink on the page and that don't mean its true
read my eyes honey and know i'm through
i don't give up on you and we can make it through
black nights will never ease your head
gotta wait for the morning sun to help you out of bed
L.A. rain and smog will make you blind
you gotta drive all night with the radio on to know that you’re mine
your smile aint all that suits you
but it don't hurt the cause
whats got you down now i'm so blind
whats got your heart now we’re so cold
moving out of town will make it right
we settled here and we never could come back
always waiting for you to come home
when you’re here i never feel more alone
the sky looks like it could rain for days
this town is getting prettier every time i walk away
the TVs always shouting to turn me off
but the glow of pretty pictures got me mesmerized
04. It's Alright, It's Okay, There's Something to Live For...Jesus Told Me So
are you taken care of when you’re sitting on your knees
cement is getting harder when you’re standing in my way
walls are getting thinner when the flowers aren't in bloom
words are getting sharper when they slip from your teeth
that's alright
that's okay
i'm better off anyway
and i’ll still wait till i'm black and blue
or until i get a hold of you
hard wood echoes as you walk down the hall
taking down the pictures that were covered up in dust
i wish the breeze would blow through my window at night
it’s too cold to think and it’s not warm enough to fight
05. Tears Won't Fall
you didn't waste any time
writing me out of your will
25 days ago i quit caring about all the money you shoved down my throat
your street hasn't changed at all
thought you should know
that 25 days ago the town quit caring about all you left behind
voices drowning out and the day is closing in
time swallowed you up and then drew the shades again
we said our goodbyes now the tears won’t fall again
tears won’t fall again
you said all your goodbyes
left your estate in good will
only thing you wish you could take along with you
is that beautiful lady Berdine
06. Roses On My Grave
so where do you sleep at night
my hands are cold and my fingers are tight and I'm afraid
i'm lying by myself
my lips are blue and there's blood dripping from my ears
i can't hear you tonight
time hasn't been so good to us since it looks like were falling apart
i'm getting weak from my lack of faith i'm afraid i can't come back
i always thought you'd come for me when i started to lose my mind
and i was wrong cause i can't see you through these roses on my grave
can you keep me warm tonight
the ground is cold and my fever is high but you’re okay
the city sky is bright
it swallows me in then keeps me up at night
but you’re singing
and i'm listening
and we’re breathing
it’s alright
and I'm breaking
the grounds shaking
and I'm falling
right in
07. Your Eyes Are so Green
your eyes are so green
they're as pretty as the sea
oh night come here with you
your words are so true
not as beautiful as you
though they're few come on with me
walk out into the sea until you know the waves are calling after you
walk into fields of ocean blue until you see it’s there for you
now you’re broken ‘cause of me
and you're blinded don't you see
that my heart is pinned on you
08. Way Out
are you still looking for a way out
as you feel the seasons change
overcast shadows don't bother your bones
it's the memory of going home
the house didn't do you good and the apple trees are old
what happened there still eats your soul
hold on cause you’re all alone
the south ain't even your home
if you come back up here looking for me to bail you out
you know i can’t turn it down
the phone calls ain’t coming and the letters are getting slow
you still won’t buy her that ring
you and pistol used to stop on a dime
i can still see you on that floor
heartbreak ain’t easy and i know why you left
cause loneliness don't feel alone
wait for me...wait for me...don't you leave without me
09. Get Scared (money will never ease your mind)
when you look at me do you see me hanging on a line
do you see me beat down begging for a handout to spare my life
is my life so wasted you just don't need me to survive
so you send me packing looking for a t-shirt and a dime
time won’t save you now
it will always stick with you somehow
you'll never shake me off
i’ll never ease your mind
try to fix me now
you don't know what you did
and I'm stuck paying for it
while you're just playing it safe
we’re all losing faith
while you're still getting rich quick
and i'm stuck paying for it
keep thinking you’re innocent
when you look at me do you see me hanging out to dry
a useless body standing out on broadway in the rain
do you think i'm kidding when i tell you you're to blame
the stench of money hanging off your breath ain't going away
10. Coming 'Round To Get You
roll your windows up the sound is coming in quick
the night is getting black and it's making us sick
my eyes are getting tired from watching you lose again
don't you know that they're coming round to get you
standing right behind you their eyes are fixed on me too
can’t you feel all dirt from their money
the leather from their briefcase
the chill from their cold cold heart
sit down don't ask questions they never will believe in you again
lace up your favorite shoes and let the sunlight in
cause tomorrow we're going driving right off that covered bridge
11. Everybody Wants To Move To L.A.
everybody wants to go to L.A.
they all think they have to move out west
what do you think’s so special about L.A.
the sun still comes out here after all
why would i waste my time
in the sun on pacific time
and if i hear one more song
about moving west i might lose it all
i don't mind some changes in my seasons
the people here always treat me good
what do you think will come of changing fashions
they'll eat you up and go back to the way it was
12. Autumn Rest Easy
so tell me where'd you go
the picture sitting on the casket is all i have left
i think you got it from the work you do best
now someone's right here doing the rest
i can feel you in the night in my bones
i know you tried to reach her but she wasn't home
can you lift me in the wind
or whistle in the night
its all i have left
and ellis street hasn't lived since you left
see you rocking back and forth
i can feel you in the night in my bones
i know you tried to reach her but she wasn't home
we'll keep her safe you rest easy
i'll keep her safe you rest easy
13. Writings On The Wall
why am i by myself
why do i write alone
you used to sit here with me
until i lost my soul
the sun is finally shining
the street is soaking wet
i'd be outside walking
but I'm in here instead
we know that we’re both to blame
i see the writing on the wall
now all i do is hold my head in shame
cause i don't wanna see your face again
i don't go out much lately
i'd love to see you soon
i can hear you singing softly
but it’s all out of tune
pick me up tonight
we'll sit on the dock
watch the storm come in
and drown me again
