Mountain Song

From these new eyes looking in,
I'm a freight train; can't you hear my whistle blowing?
I could have sworn that I've known your name,
Or those dogs that love the rain - probably them.
So I sat in your rocking chair
and I played the songs I know that you love to hear.
Memories like a cooling wind;
Remember when we could have been - now we are.
There's a long way to go
but I'm gonna see it through all the suffering.
I'm a long way from home.
Where my teardrops fell a new flower's growing.
Yellow bird sing a song to me.
Can't you see the trees swing in its harmony?
There's a teen with an empty spray can,
Fuck the man, you know we can, you know we will.
You stand right up just to sit back down.
Are you nervous you're a man trying to speak aloud?
The more we give is the less that we can take.
for ourselves and what we have is just a fake.
There's a long way to go
but I'm gonna see it through all the suffering.
I'm a long way from home.
Where my teardrops fell a new flower's growing.
There's no truth inside the barrel of a gun.
I won't be there when the battle is won
cause this battle ain't never gonna be done.

Got It All

I saw you waiting in the sun, thought you were the one
who could save me from this place.
But you're not and I'm trying to end this way.
But I lost that bet today to that fucker with the blood-shot eyes.
He was dressed in a black suit and said,
"There's nothing you can lose.
So take a drink, sing your song to me, and fall to sleep"
There's a huge risk when dealing
with poison arms and lowered guards.
This won't take too long to figure out what's gone:
I think it's coming back...
Why should I want anything else?
I've got it all.
Somebody that found what once was lost.
I've got it all.

Weekend Parade

Kiss me at the end of our days.
Boarded for that final train.
It'll take us home where
the leaves are all changing.
The people smile at us and they wave.
Reminds me of that weekend parade.
How pretty you looked
at the bottom of dunk tanks.
Such fickle friends they're proving to be.
When we depart then they'll just get up and leave.
Forgetting memories.
Burning pictures they have of me.
I had a dream you were dressed in a gown
and the tassel in your eye blocked me out.
But I know that you'll stay
I know that you will stay...
Kiss me at the end of our days.
I'm so happy that it ended this way.
I mean I'm with you.
I'm finally with you.
I'm so happy I'm with you.

On Your Skin

I'm not the same as before.
I've been changing like
how lovers leave at the door.
I've been thinking about those words on your side
and how they move with your hips like I want them to.
And how persistent we've been,
like dogs chasing mailmen.
When will this waiting end?
Hypocrisy on your skin.
cause I thought it read:
Love and be loved.
I know I shouldn't say but
I was happier back then
in a way I forgot, but won't forget
Everything that went unsaid and unsent.
So won't you stay with me tonight?
Some day soon we'll be fine.
I'm not the same as before.
We are different.
Cause I guess I like my girls a little inked up.

In Between

I raise my head
just to see things in reverse.
I tell my friends,
things are looking pretty down.
If I could find a girl I'd settle down.
Live in Pismo in a beach house.
But that would mean showing all of myself
and I can't do that, no, I won't do that.
Cause I can't do that so well.
I pack my bags,
off to San Francisco again.
I don't think I'll grow tired of it;
smoking cigarettes with my friends
as we're in between buildings - we conspire:
A way to get away from the world
Away to get a way from the world.
