Well the first days are the hardest days, dont you worry any more, cause when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door. Think this through with me, let me know your mind, Wo, oh, what I want to know, is are you kind?
Its a buck dancers choice my friend; better take my advice. You know all the rules by now and the fire from the ice. Will you come with me? wont you come with me? Wo, oh, what I want to know, will you come with me?
Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like? Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is dont tread on me. Come hear uncle johns band playing to the tide, Come with me, or go alone, hes come to take his children home.
Its the same story the crow told me; its the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go. Aint no time to hate, barely time to wait, Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?
I live in a silver mine and I call it beggars tomb; I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune, Anybodys choice, I can hear your voice. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go?
Come hear uncle johns band by the riverside, Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.
Come hear uncle johns band playing to the tide, Come on along, or go alone, hes come to take his children home. Wo, oh, what I want to know, how does the song go.
Don’t ease, don’t ease, don’t ease me in I’ve been all night long commin’ home, don’t ease me in
I was standing on the corner, talking to Miss B When I turned around sweet mama, she was way across town So I’m walkin’ down the street with a dollar in my hand I’ve been lookin’ for a woman sweet mama, ain’t got no man
The girl I love, she’s sweet and true You the dress she wears, sweet mama, it’s pink and blue She brings me coffee, she brings me tea She brings me ’bout every damm thing but the jailhouse keys
Sittin in Mangrove valley chasing light beams Everything wanders from baby to Z Baby Baby pretty it up on Tuesday Old like a rum-drinking demon at tea. Baby Baby tell me what’s the matter, what, what tell me what’s your why how? Tell me why will you never come home Tell me what’s your reason, if you’ve got a good one.
Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone’s doin’ that rag. Everywhere I go, the people all know Everyone’s doin’ that rag.
Take my line, go fishin’ for a Tuesday, Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea. Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons, Couldn’t find any better ones in the morning at three.
THe rain gonna come, but the rain gonna go y’know. Steppin’ off sharply from the rank and file. Awful cold and dark like a dungeon Maybe get a little bit darker before the day. Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters Everyone’s doin’ that rag.
You needn’t gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset. No one is watchin’ or standin’ in your shoes. Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning, Everything promised is delivered to you.
Don’t neglect to pick up what your share is, All the winter birds are winging home now. Hey love go, and look around you, Nothing out there you haven’t seen before now.
Wading in the water and you’ll never get wet, If you keep on doin’ that rag. Wading in the water and you’ll never get wet, If you keep on doin’ that rag.
One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild And the aces are crawlin’ up and down your sleeve. Come back here pretty baby Louise And tell me the name of the game that you play.
I’ve told you this once before, can’t control me If you try to take me down, you’re gonna break I feel you’re having nothing that you’re doing for me I’m thinkin you are the fake, ??you’re on the way??
I stand alone, inside I stand alone (stand alone)
You’re always hiding behind your so called goddess So what you don’t think that we can’t see your face Resurrecting back before the final fallen I’ll never rest until I can make my own way I’m not afraid of fading
I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I’m not dying dor it I stand alone Everything that I believe is fading I stand alone, inside I stand alone (stand alone)
Now it’s my time (now it’s my time) It’s my time to dream (it’s my time to dream) Dream of the sky (dream of the sky) Make me believe that this place isn’t made by the poison in me And help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe Breathe into me
I stand alone, inside I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I’m not dying for it I stand alone Everything that I believe is fading I stand alone, inside I stand alone, inside I stand alone, inside
Yeah One quick move, exploding flesh and brain Splintering bone pierce a bleeding heart Suddenly flares burn into you eyes Bullet meet skull meet the end of your life Yeah
In the war zone I stand alone In the war zone I die alone
Yeah Spider crack mirror on a jigsaw face Bloody knuckles roam on a muzzle flash Another day in hell and Jesus saves The skull will punish all that will survive
In the war zone I stand alone In the war zone I die alone
You can’t see me You can’t stop me You can’t kill me
You can’t see me You can’t stop me You can’t kill me
In the war zone I stand alone In the war zone I die alone
You can’t see me You can’t stop me You can’t kill me
You can’t see me You can’t stop me You can’t kill me
Bright light never fear It won’t be long, you’re gonna decohere Til then you’re mine Spinning with me all of the time
You can run across the sky I will stand here on the ground If you go up, then I’ll go down They could never ever know
If you go up, then I’ll go down They could never ever know That I’m entangled with you I’m entangled with you
Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out, two balls, two strikes Too down in the heart Two guys, two cabs, two on, two out
At last a silver mirror Don’t look, you’re gonna disappear All gone in a flash It’s our loss, a total collapse
You can run across the sky I will stand here on the ground If you go up, then I’ll go down They could never ever know
That I’m entangled with you I’m entangled with you And there’s nothing I’d rather do Nothing I’d rather do
Take back the city for yourself tonight Or I’ll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa
God knows you put your life in two a times And it’s both cradled you and crushed But now it’s time to make your own demands Whoa
All these years later and it’s killing me Your broken records and words Ten thousand craters where it all should be Whoa
No need to put your words into my mouth Don’t need convincing at all I love this place enough to have no doubt Whoa
It’s a mess It’s a start It’s a flawed work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight Get your epitaph right You can sing ‘til you drop Cause the fun just never stops
I love this city tonight I love this city always It bears it’s teeth like a light And spits me out after days But we’re all gluttons for it We know what’s wrong and it’s right For every time it’s been hit Take back the city tonight
Tell me you never wanted more from this And I will stop talking now One perfect partner, one eternal kiss Whoa
Take back the city for yourself tonight Or I’ll take back the city for me Take back the city for yourself tonight Whoa
It’s a mess It’s a start It’s a flawed work of art Your city, your call Every crack, every wall Pick a side, pick a fight Get your epitaph right You can sing ‘til you drop Cause the fun just never stops

I’ll have a blue Christmas without you I’ll be so blue just thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won’t mean a thing if you’re not here with me
And when the blue snowflakes start falling That’s when those blue memories start calling You’ll be doing alright with your Christmas of white, But I’ll have a blue blue Christmas
I’ll have a blue Christmas, that’s certain And when that blue heartache starts hurting, You’ll be doing all right with your Christmas of white, But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas
