Come on now
all you restless gamblers
Trade in your past
for some shiny thing
Come on now
you earthbound flatlanders
Digging holes
so you've got hills to see
You gotta
Go no go no go no
Go no go
Just leave me alone,
(but don’t leave me alone)
Come on now
all you mumbling lovers
Stumbling over
all your well-worn lines
Come on now
all you dreamtime tumblers
tied down to
what you’ve left behind
You gotta
Go no go no go no
Go no go
Just leave me alone,
(but don’t leave me alone)
I’ve been spending all my time on the balance beam
I’ve been here and I've been there there, now I'm glad to be
In between
Come on now
all you sightless strivers
Put out your eyes
just to get ahead
Come on now
all you late arrivers
digging on a scene that’s
Long gone dead
You gotta
Go no go no go no
Go no go…
Isn't there anything that you want?
Isn't there anything that you need?
Isn't there anything that you want?
Isn't there anything that you need?
Don't leave me alone

The Future Is Here
03:03

I don’t know but I’ve been told
You are mine to have and hold
Someone said until we’re dead
A little voice inside your head says
Don’t be crazy, years go by
Swallow your fear
The future is here
The end is always near
Nothing's real but the way you feel
That is what we learned in California
We’ve got money, where is the show
Let’s go
This feeling never changes
Years go by
Swallow your fear
The future is here
The end is always near
Into the morning, into the evening
We go with the flow
No metaphors
But sometimes the wind blows hard at your door
You wanna step into it
Like a troubadour
Years go by
Swallow your fear
The future is here
The end is always near

Let You Go
03:35

Tell the truth about it
Who do you adore
There’s nothing new about it
We’ve been here before
Beauty's in the eye
Everything makes you cry
The dock is gone, the water’s high
We are floating
On the brightest kind of tide
Our coats will carry us away
Put your hand in mine
We don’t have much time
I will let you go
When you tell me to
When you tell me, sweetheart
For a moment yesterday
I thought you would stay
My mistake
Killing season
Has a purpose and a reason
On Cupid, now Dancer
Do you have the answer?
Are you a true romancer?
Then carry us to sea
Put your hand in mine
Can you feel the sunshine?
I will let you go
When you tell me
I will let you go
When you tell me
I will let you go
When you tell me to
When you tell me

A Gun

Gun, a gun, someone's got a gun
You hear the needle drop and you start to run.
Wake wake, now you're wide awake
Wrapped up in a blanket trying not to shake.
Shake shake, when you going to break?
Adding up the tally for your mistakes
You don't hear anything
You don't see anything
You don't know anything at all
Until the fall
Shout, shout, why you gotta shout?
Bullets in your mouth... spit ‘em out
Out, out, put the fire out
You started a parade, now it's a rout
All of those things you say
You never meant to say
You can’t pretend to take them back
Once you’ve attacked
Rats chasing sparrows on the streetcar tracks
Smoke chasing flames from blue to black
Now all the gold in your pocket
will not bring your baby back.
Like a half-heard lyric in a half-awake song
Like half-forgotten stories in a half-dead town.
You keep shouting
but only the echoes are clear
And you want to turn it back, don't you?
And you want to turn it back, don't you?
And you want to turn it back,
to where it all began...
(Dan Zedek Dan Zedek Music/BMI)

Born A Wonder
04:04
|
|||

Is it getting quiet?
Seems I can barely hear your voice
Across the wires
There is the whitest kind of noise.
Tell me a story
Of what we won and what we lost
Of seven wonders
Of seven oceans that we've crossed
“I slipped out feet first
Opened my eyes and started to shout
Never asked to be let back
but stepped on into darkened clouds.
I swerved and I stumbled
I swore and then I swam.
Used strong words and stronger drink
and ended up right where I began
We are born a wonder
And we die alone
We can stand together
As we go
Can you spare a moment?
Tell me, can you spare a line?
Can you spare me from myself?
'Cause I'm out of breath and running out of time.
When I looked down, all I could see below was Hell
When they call my name now
I'm going to stand and ring that bell
We are born a wonder
And we die alone
We can stand together
As we go
We’re born a wonder…

Go away from me
Think of something else
A whole new way to be
I believe in magic, you don’t
Let’s talk about destiny
And the writing on the wall
That you will never see
You wanna make it but you won’t
Pretender
You say that people change
I don’t think so
You want to win me over
Stop saying my name
I'm finished with you
I'm finished with you
Nothing mattered, nothing was true
In 1983
You almost overdosed
under the apple tree
My sister saved you
You didn’t thank her
Remember
Still my kisses were free
I thought you needed love
You needed money and a house key
Fool me once, fool me twice, I am cold
Like December
You say that people change
I don’t think so
You want to win me over
Stop saying my name
I'm finished with you
I'm finished with you
Nothing mattered, nothing was true
Your friends are strangers now
The children are all gone
You’re in the desert singing drinking songs
Count your money, it’s a blessing
At the end
You say that people change
I don’t think so
You want to win me over
Stop saying my name
I'm finished with you
I'm finished with you
Nothing mattered, nothing was true
