1. Pink Champagne
Who knows, I don’t
You got your head in a wheel
and it’s getting me down too much these days
say what you want to and drink up
we can chase it all down with this pink champagne
——
your love is an old friend, who is running around
with a pocket knife in a shotgun town
but you say what but want
and you do as you please
and you’re wanting your soul back before you leave
——
sure shot, you are always my sure shot
kickin up dirt in the wrong bars, hey good lookin, you are
bad news following bad news,
drunk and beautiful, born to lose
and if you’re wanting the truth, honey
I’m falling harder and harder for you
——
who knows, I don’t
would you light us on fire?
just to believe that some things don’t burn
baby you’re all crazy tonight
I can see in your eyes you’ll burn out bright
——
sure shot, you are always my sure shot
kickin up dirt in the wrong bars, hey good lookin, you are
bad news following bad news,
drunk and beautiful, born to lose
and if you’re wanting the truth, honey
I’m falling harder and harder for you
——
calm it down, oh baby please calm it down
tell me whether I should please you or mess you up
oh I’m smitten with a bull in a china shop
she’s an angel with some devil in her blood
she’s an angel with some devil blood
2. Head Down
waking up on the run
you get the car, I’ll load the gun
a million coppers on a rampage
try to take our youth away
—–
head down
—–
hit the gas and find a tune
we’ll watch the sun set on the dunes
I breathe you in and the bullets fly, oh
in each other we can hide, with our
——
head down
——
so what if I
tried to steal a life without a cage to crucify me
tried to fall in line with all the things they said I needed
how could I have known that you would be the one to save me
a beautiful girl with her head down
——
they were taking our youth
so what if I
tried to steal a life without a cage to crucify me
tried to fall in line with all the things they said I needed
how could I have known that you would be the one to save me
a beautiful girl with her head down
3. We Were Owls
we were just seventeen and all alone
we had our hands in the gutter but our hearts in the warm clouds
she said I know it’s gonna hurt like hell but it’s alright
we were just seventeen and so in love
———
I can see it that you’re ready to go
like a bat in the cave of my soul
we were owls barely escaping the day
another moment and we’d give it away
———-
we were just seventeen and so afraid
we were balloons in the hands of our mothers in a Jesus parade
she said I know it’s gonna burn like fire but it’s alright
oh we were just seventeen and so in love…. so in love!
———-
we were owls when they came in the night
they were looking for a creature to fight
I can see it that you’re ready to go
like a bat in the cave of my soul
we had nothing but the blood on our hands
we were sitting but we’re willing to stand
we were owls barely escaping the day
another and we’d give it away
4. Premunition
caught by spies, chocolate eyes
strung out youth
loving yourself, tearing yourself
tooth by tooth
look up Saint Peter said
you moms got a liquor head, do you?
it’s gonna be a perfect day
say the word and I’ll run away with you
caught by spies, crashing all night
cold church pews
selling yourself, wrecking yourself
nothing’s new
held up at a nickle store
some guys got nothing more to lose
it’s gonna be a beautiful day
oh I’ll do anything for you
———-
carry all this body armor, wake through the rhine
pulling off the wings of angels, make them mine
I do it all for you Caroline
———-
I don’t mind the underground
fighting dogs for you
pay ten witches a million pounds
premonition you (for premunition’s truth)
crawling through the end of sound
the dying dogs of youth
pay King Garden a million pounds
premonition you
5. She’s Disaster
I wake up, same story, I hear you at the door
I see my medication, I catch you on the floor
a fever, you’re shaking, been boozing on the shores
a nightmare like a devil, but still I love you more
——-
She’s disaster, She’s disaster
She’s a caution, a warning sign
She’s disaster
——-
I’m begging, four-thirty, please put your clothes back on
there’s doctors in the dining room who came to fix what’s wrong
you’re cracking, I’m sorry, there’s nothing can be done
you’re dancing round on life support with matches and a gun
——-
She’s disaster, She’s disaster
She’s a caution, a warning sign
She’s disaster
——-
no more speaking, you need cooling, let me hold you now
you’re a nuclear fallout beauty, no one can hold you down
——-
She’s disaster, She’s disaster
She’s a caution, a warning sign
She’s disaster
6. Ladders
Hail the sun and all this glory
the radio’s on, it’s playing your favorite song
I wish you hadn’t died last night
I cannot bring you back so can I come along
——-
this age is carousel
I remember all the horses, I forget all of their names
your stage was full of light
took the costumes out the basement, and you brought them all to life
——–
Hail the sun and all this glory
the radio’s on, it’s playing your favorite song
I wish you hadn’t died last night
I cannot bring you back so can I come along
these ladders that you’re climbing on
——–
I’ll build your diamond ring
from the ashes of the pavement
that wound up to your house, yeah
——–
Hail the sun and all this glory
the radio’s on, it’s playing your favorite song
I wish you hadn’t died last night
I cannot bring you back so can I come along
I cannot bring you back from these ladders that you’re climbing on
——–
this is ok, look down
I’m in the apple orchard that we found back in the fall
baby you’re right, at night, I’m a wreck without ya
keeping me so warm
I better perform… a hail to the sun
———-
….and all this glory
the radio’s on, it’s playing your favorite song
I wish you hadn’t died last night
I cannot bring you back so can I come along
I cannot bring you back from these ladders that you’re climbing on
7. Unlucky
You’re in my head, you’re like a disease and I’m thinking
how unlucky am I to have met you now
You’re like a bad dream, you’re always around and I’m thinking
how unlucky, I’d rather be alone than be with you
——-
no more mourning days over her to be a better woman
no more counting cards waiting for the queen of hearts to come
someone cool the air that she bewitched to follow me around
take this killing slow, brew a cauldron and make it be undone
——-
You’re in my head, you’re like a disease and I’m thinking
how unlucky am I to have met you now
You’re like a bad dream honey, you’re always around and I’m thinking
how unlucky, I’d rather be alone than be with you
——-
no more endless waits for the hourglass to fill with codeine
no more reading books about how I am tethered to the world
Now that I’m out of words, take the flag and pass it round the sun
——
You’re in my head, you’re like a disease and I’m thinking
how unlucky am I to have met you now
You’re like a bad dream honey, you’re always around and I’m thinking
how unlucky, I’d rather be alone than be with you
——
godspeed on down the well, searching for your penny
three tears for wedding bells, that will never ring for us
warm lips, cold kiss, whose bad luck am I?
——
You’re in my head, you’re like a disease and I’m thinking
how unlucky am I to have met you now
8. Dear Radio
got yourself, you’re ready to go
you work to live in circles, same old show
one thing can make your suffering end, yeah
——-
Dear Radio! Dear Radio!
Keep playing my song! my song!
No one gets me like you
———
got a radio heart she wants to mend
she’s got the fantasy but no way to pretend
her many bad days have got to end, yeah
——-
Dear Radio! Dear Radio!
Keep playing my song! my song!
No one gets me like you
-
No one gets me like you
Dear Radio! Dear Radio!
Keep playing my song! my song!
