Album • 1995
I-I, Hold-Hold Weathered by the storm And you-you, won't feel-won't feel You're wasted by the one And now-and now, you know-you know Your money's running low Your last cigarette has got you Choking on the bone Down-Down, cold-cold Hungry from the road I need-I need My better days My whiskey cup is broke So leave me alone While my head is hummin' cold I lost my mind on borrowed time I can't find my way home Call me by my real name My bottle's runnin' dry Call me by my real name Your painted face is shy My whiskey makes me feel things My brother never lies Time-time, now-now Always played it coolEvery step I take I'm heading for the swimming pool So feed me, believe me My friends will never leave me But one wrong look And I'll close the book I'll knock you on your ass Call me by my real name My bottle's runnin' dry Call me by my real name Your painted face is shy My whiskey makes me feel things My brother never lies Call me by my real name My bottle's runnin' dry Call me by my real name Your painted face is shy My whiskey makes me feel things My brother never lies Call me by my real name Call me by my real name My whiskey makes me feel things My brother never lies

It's cold inside my heart Oh it's over It's raining in my mind Haunted soul Why was I so wrong When I'm just a mortal man inside myself Break these walls, my prison cell Last night, something went down in Eden And holy water can't wash away my sins Oh, now there ain't no leavin' And danger's calling Danger's calling me Call me desperate and scared Suffering angel I rise but then I fallI'm just sorry for the things I tell Help me now, this is my hell Last night, something went down in Eden And holy water can't wash away my sins Oh, now there ain't no leavin' And danger's callingbrDanger's calling me Dangerous cries Blacken the skies Losing my mind The heart of a crime Last night, something went down in Eden And holy water can't wash away my sins Oh, now there ain't no leavin' And danger's calling Danger's calling Last night, something went down in Eden And holy water can't wash away my sins Oh, now there ain't no leavin' And danger's calling me Danger's calling

Just yesterday I took the train So many times You went away I searched the Whole world over Never looking Over my shoulder Your silver linings Hold the key Just leave your Spare change next to me You took your chances With the big time Oh, where's your Sense of destiny Oh Heidi of Rodeo Will you ever Find your way home Between the lovers And the freaks Livin' your life Between the sheets She's all wrong I took the train When she was gone She'll cut you If she could Another night In Hollywood Her favorite color's Always greener Her favorite book The dates you keepYou like the Taste of money White wine The limo's runnin' Your silver linings Hold the key Just leave your spare change Next to me Does anybody out there Know her name Does anybody out there care She tried to ride the rail But she couldn't make the bail Just yesterday I took the train Yesterday, yesterday Just yesterday I took the train Yesterday, yesterday Just yesterday I took the train Yesterday, yesterday Yesterday

Seven years ago When you still had your smile When you still had your laugh Always in control To bring us all alive To leave us when you died Walking on the plank Walking on the wire Running from the pain Always start the fire To throw it all away Your life fell on the rocks Traded in your attitude Retire to the skies What were you thinking Who'd you wanna be What were you drinking That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave us far behind Now you're only someone In our minds Don't you know That you were loved You know that you were liked I know you had shadows To tell you wrong from right And all your friends In all the heavens Can make you free To fly...fly I know there's a limit boy There's a limit On your life I'll see you at the gate My friend We'll play it one more time What were you thinking Who'd you wanna be What were you drinking That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave us far behind Now you're only someone In our minds Oh, it's a scary situation To think it could be me To think it could be me To think it could be It's like I made this highway home Another dark and lonely road If there's a god Then heaven's gonna help me Another bow A broken arrow Another fight with Life so shallow What were you thinkin' Who'd you wanna be What were you drinkin' That set your mind at ease Did you forget us all And leave this world behind Now you're only someone In our minds

I see in deep blue skies Halls I kept divine Was there a better time I hear echo cries Oh...You're late It blew my mind Doesn't anybody want To let you die Your diary's erased To say goodbye Ten years, home to home Long nights, nights, nights Wet nights, winter snowAlright...shaken by the blow Doesn't anybody want To let you die Your diary's erased To say goodbye Doesn't anybody want To let you die Your diary's erased To say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye my honey Say goodbye, say goodbye Don't you take my money now Say goodbye, doesn't anybody want To let you die

If I ever get out of this city You will never be lonely Like the nights in New York Never sleeping I'll be hittin' the roadway I'm feeling this is another change When the old man read What's the billboard saying to me If I ever get out of this city You will never be lonely Another neon light overhead Just to rot my bloodshot Eyes are red...but I... If I ever get out of this city You will never be lonely And the winter holds The open road ahead I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired of this And the summer's calling Me to home again And sometimes And sometimes And sometimes... And the tiny cigarettes That you're leaving Are burnin' holes In the hallway Another day that my meals got away And my bottle is broke From the dues I've got to pay Life is easy For all in the city But the innocent only I'm feeling this is another change When the old man read What's the old man saying to me If I ever get out of this city You will never be lonely And the winter holds The open road ahead I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired of this And the summer's calling Me to home again And sometimes And sometimes And sometimes I guess that's the way it should go Me against the world I'm feeling this is another change When the old man read What's the old man saying to me Life is easy for all In the city But the innocent And the winter holds The open road ahead I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired of this And the summer's calling me To home again I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so so so tired Oh, winter's calling me home And I just can't let it go I've got the summer, summer, summer blues

It's a little bit funny This feeling inside I'm not one of those Who can easily hide I ain't got much money But, girl, if I did I'd buy a big house Where we both could live If I was a sculptor But then again, no Or a man who makes potions In a traveling show I, I know it ain't much But it's the best I can do My gift is my song And this one's for you And you can tell everybody That this is your song It may be quite simple But now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind That I put down in words How wonderful life is While you're in the world I sat on the roof And kicked off the moss Well, a few of the verses They've got me quite cross And the sun seemed quite nice While I wrote this song It's for people like you That keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting But these things I do You see, I've forgotten If they're green or they're blue Anyway, the thing is What I really mean Your's are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody That this is your song It may be quite simple But now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind What I put down in words How wonderful life is While you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind What I put down in words I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind You can tell everybody How wonderful life is While you're in the world

Rain is falling My face is burning Time to worship the sun Standing still but My wheels are turning Time to polish my gun Walk the mile For my native brother Carving names on the wall Temperment of my canine calling Can't find right from wrong And winter starts to fall Against the canyon walls Dance to the rain and sunshine Sang to the beat of my brother Danced through the rain and sunshine It's indian summer By the avenue of the desert Lay the weaker to rest Took me in as a stranger once But now I dance with the dead And winter starts to fall Against the canyon walls Dance to the rain and sunshine Sang to the beat of my brother Danced through the rain and sunshine It's indian summer And winter starts to fall Against the canyon walls Dance to the rain and sunshine Sang to the beat of my brother Dance to the rain and sunshine It's indian, indian, indian Oooh, you've got me indian summer

Herald I'm calling Herald my friend My flag is falling I'm bound by the end Is anybody home I live to stand alone This time you pushed me too far Red, yellow, black, and blue The colors on my face Another way to say goodbye Everything I learned in school Never helped my case They never taught me how to die And when the sky is falling Sunday morning Herald will deal me the king You went from aces to the joker-the king It's in the cards Your life is over But, see...this time You're dealin' with me Oh, dealin' with me Red, yellow, black, and blue The colors on your vest It's your reward for being sane Maybe I'll just burn the flag And live like all the rest So someone else can take the blame And when the sky is falling Sunday morning Herald will teach me to be... Everything my father left the bed for To be-the only life my father Lived and bled for But see...this time You're dealin' with me Oh, dealin' with me To be, you went from aces to the joker-to be Oh, it's in the cards Your life is over-the king This time you're dealin' with me... This time you're dealin' with me Dealin' with meOh, dealin' with me

Say-hail the leader with the mask Let's say we put him to the test Somehow he doesn't like the sound He'll dig his heels into the ground To think that he's the seventh wonder Moving mountains with the thunder All the lies he tries to cover Money talks, where is the love And the land that falls beneath him To apologize beneath himWatch a crowd of many tease him Run in circles to appease him It's a rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! Rage! Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! A little freedom for us all Too many guns, too many tax Too many mobs persue the waks Too many cops push you around The lunatic has come un-wound I think his tie is a little too tight We gotta teach the man his wrong from his right Ya gotta-ya gotta-ya gotta It's the rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! Rage! Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage!...and the lunatic has come unwound A little freedom erases the hate of us all It's a rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! Rage! Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! Rage! Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage! Rage! Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage of disorder Rage, rage, rage, rage, rage, rage, rage Guns, guns, guns are spreading disease Sex is survival, survival to me The man with the mask made a fool out of me He's lying to you Yea, he's lying He's crying The rage of disorder

I've got this feeling from the inside out Somehow I made it through the rain A good and evil battle with my soulNow I've been tempted by the pain I saw you yesterday on deposition lane But you had nothing left to say My life without you is a future run awayBut nothing still matters, and nothing's the same Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul Every time I look at you I can't control Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tell You left me standing by the wishing well Another weekend of your lying, your cryingYour raining on my parade And now you're dancing with the ghost in the closetYou're playing with fire Your head's getting higher Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul Every time I look at you I can't control Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul Every time I look at you I can't control Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul Every time I look at you I can't control Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well
