can you sing along to a burnt out saturday night?
walking hand in hand with love feeling out of sight
oh emma, do you feel lonely sometimes?
when i think about you i feel just fine
we might love each other until the end of time
i can't help but feel it
i love you more every day
its only saturday night
and i'm out of my head
could you walk alone on a burnt out saturday night?
walking hand in hand with nothing
feeling just alright
oh i can't help but feel it
i love you more every day
its only saturday night
and i'm out of my head
yes, i'm out of my head

Ancient Steel
04:08
|
|
||
|
writing on the wall
extends itself to mine
imparts unto me
i dont belong here
a heretic smile
as seen in a photograph
of men and women dancing freely
your kind heart it shows me
how to part the seas
like the gods in the water baby
daring to believe in ancient steel
dare to believe in ancient steel
a sinister plot
laid out to the consulate
violent scum seek redemption
but you know that i'm a fighter baby
i kick and scream with ease
i'm bursting with childlike wonder
a california dream
yeah, i'm ancient steel
like a bird of prey i fly around you
crying out for more i cant get enough
wont you sacrifice your body for me?
i am so hungry
i'm quite starving
dare to believe in ancient steel

Sci-Fi Racer
03:42
|
|
||
|
i've been waiting for a long time now
singing songs, holy sounds
friend or foe it's all the same
you play for keeps when you play the game
calling out to a passerby
oh baby get ahold of yourself
i'm standing here begging for some help
oh yeah
every morning my iphone holds me
gently rocks me back and forth
i kill an hour or two just maybe
seeking relief is such a bore
if i could be deep in the pockets baby
i could get ahold of myself
but i'm standing here begging for some help
yeah, you know
alright
sci fi racer, calling my bluff
temperate maker, wholesome stuff
every one around me, carves there own way
i stand alone and pray

A Hymn That Only I Know
04:25
|
|
||
|
i came into town and threw my weight around
everything i stood for don't mean nothing now
touch upon the fur, it calms you as you go
up and down the streets of a city you don't know
i've been telling lies, i've been playing the fool
if i knew any better i'd say i was cruel
down along the south side, over to the north
life is just a poor man's chore
i came in the hard way, over that old hill
big as any mountain, getting bigger still
a hymn that only i know races through my mind
sounds a lot like jesus asking for a dime
throw your friends under the bus as you go
from one place to another, you're taking it slow
on down past the south side
just beyond the north
life remains a poor man's chore
i cry out like a banshee in the night now
the word from up above says i'm going down, down, down, down
now you're climbing aboard my red land raider
can't talk now we'll speak much later
love and devotion knows no creator

its high noon on the gold plain
wind's blowing in from the west
taking stock of what i love
and throwing out the rest
well i'm doing fine on a monday
by friday i'm up shit creek
this hard-earned piece of property
it don't mean nothing to me
all your fortune and freedom
they're gone with the wind
i wrote thing song for you, friend
sang it from a place of love
i'm vexed with the morning sun
and hateful of the stars above
anything you want's got a price to pay
they don't care what you do or say
i've got a curse, it weighs heavy on my mind
when the air is still i pity the lonesome kind
your piece of mind, out in a bush somewhere
getting pissed on by an old man
its his now, you know
its high noon on the gold plain

Mantra of Strength
04:31
|
|
||
|
my hero, my light in the dark
tell me when i've gone too far
at night after i hit the town
you make my bed and lay my body down
it's alright, it's alright you say
i'll be here for you any day
temptation is strong, i know
you stand in front of that which seeks to hurt me so
and i feel for the willow tree
weeping low under the summer heat
cursing the sun

Priceless
04:24
|
|
||
|
there's a hymn that only i know
a priceless, loving tune
if asked nicely i might just sing for you
i'll be here in the morning, i'll be here when you can see the moon
trucking on just like i do
i've been in the kitchen, cooking for the one i love
i pay no mind to details, i've had it with that stuff
baby, what's on your mind?
my love for you it knows no bounds
when the sun comes up we'll take a walk around
they don't get to tell me how to feel about myself
smile upon neighbor, turn away when they need help
baby, i've lost my mind
acting up the way i do
when the sun comes up, i pray that i do too

Palace of Fools
04:20
|
|
||
|
it's funny how a candle lingers right on
it burns without a care
and you don't ask me where i'm headed
you only stop and stare
in a passing moment
and i won't beckon all your hardships
if you won't beckon mine
and all the love you feel will pass
in a matter of time
angry men seek a dancer
they only tell you lies
a softened love left me a light on
it burned my fragile eyes
i can't turn it back again
and how i
i wanted you
a palace built for a fool
a dancing eye that leads the way
its asking me for a fucking break
oh no

Burning Sun/Eve
06:40
|
|
||
|
home as you say
aint a place for saving face
your hand points to the sun
oh how it burns for anyone
and civil are the patriots
save a life to kill another one
the kind that have no interest
in freedom found without a gun
oh the sun it beats down on you now, child
real healing came to me
in a place i had never seen
and my master sang me a tune
found me by the light of the moon
and i don't know but i'd like to know
where you go when your eyelids close down shop in the eve
head solid
arms strong to hold me close
buried down deep in my hole
that's where i let my pain grow
and i don't know but i'd like to know
where you go when your eyelids close down shop in the eve

Jewel of the West
02:54
|
|
||
|
jewel of the west, sing to me
i'm out in the garden, age twenty three
white are the flowers, dead are the trees
tall grass hides your sin from me
here in the garden it's a horrid scene
and i hear your whisper now
a drug to which i am bound
crying out like the bird in the morning
eating the seeds from which i grow
jewel of the west, what a sight to see
divine and cultured fantasy
short is the rider looking down at me
jewel of the west, i beg you please
i'm here in the garden, just twenty three
and i sing your ballad now
lament for the holy crown
as the devil, he lurks in the dark
asking me to play my part
and now i'm out in the streets
no one to love and nothing to eat
crying out like the bird in the morning
eating the seeds from which i grow

Throne of Ivory
04:01
|
|
||
|
up on his throne of ivory looking down to see a common man
his hair singed and charred by the fires burning on his land
lord of lands, i beg of thee for a drop of your reservoir
my hands are tired, i'm coughing up black tar
lord of lands said-
common man, i will pray for thee but i'm afraid you've been led astray
my reservoir's been bone-dry since the thirteenth day of may
don't ask much of me now, for i haven't got the time
i can't give you what's yours before i get what's mine
swords drew upon the common man his fate had been sown
he died at the feet of that ivory throne

Doom
03:31
|
|
||
|
walking through the city just to pass the time
i've got my headphones, i've got my head held high
my eyes upon the stacks, my feet upon the tracks
i'm a restless man among all that i lack
oh friend of mine, would you sing me a tune?
a song for life and a song for doom
can i lay my body upon your bed?
for i'm wiser now than i've ever been
