It's a restless hungry feeling

That don't mean no one no good,

When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'

You can say it just as good.

You're right from your side,

I'm right from mine.

We're both just too many mornings

An' a thousand miles behind.

relax

The prince was in his castle

when I drove up to the gates

In my '99 Suburban, forest green with Texas plates

I brought a bag of money,

Krugerands & blue chip stocks

And he said, "Let's have a party,

shut the doors so we can talk"

He put my cash into his Bible,

said a prayer for our survival

Cut a line on Genisis,

held my hand and whispered this:

Relax, there'll be no warning for the next attack

Relax, and there's a discount on your income tax

Relax, if they're suspicious we can change the facts

Relax, 'cause once we've started, no, we can't turn back

We can't turn back, relax...

The people need a leader who is confident & strong

So I get so lifted that I can do no wrong

If they got questions, I tell 'em what to think

And when it gets too much for me

I have another drink

I didn't need to get elected,

when I was born I was selected

To lead you to our destiny,

The Prince Of Lies claims victory

Good night, sweet prince.

Me and my friends went to Dixieland,

We drove a big RV

With a cabinet full of mushrooms

And a cooler full of beer

It was springtime in the mountains

When we headed out of town

The peaks were white, the sky was blue

And the sun was beatin’ down

We were rolling down the highway

Just having a little fun

You sure can drink a lot of beer

Underneath that Texas sun

So, I pulled into a liquor store

That’s where the trouble all began

‘Cause I ran into their awning

and had a run-in with the man

Get me out of this small time Texas town

‘Cause I don’t want to be stuck in jail

when the sun goes down

You can’t bust me, ‘cause you don’t know what you found.

Well I tried to talk to the girl inside

I even offered her some cash

But she wouldn’t listen she was callin’ the cops

Because her gutter had been smashed

Next thing I knew when I walked outside

There were police all around

Askin’ who was the driver of the vehicle?

Can I see your license? Whatca doin’ in our town?

Get me out of this small time Texas town

‘Cause I don’t want to be stuck in jail

when the sun goes down

You can’t bust me, ‘cause you don’t know what you found.

We were sitting on the steps of the liquor store

Trying not to look too scared

The cops were searching the RV and I was

Thinking sometimes life just isn’t fair

They opened up that cabinet

And they found our little stash

But they didn’t know what it was and let us go

Minus eighty bucks in cash.

Get me out of this small time Texas town

‘Cause I don’t want to be stuck in jail

when the sun goes down

You can’t bust me, ‘cause you don’t know what you found.

...

Well, I stuffed my hair up under my hat

And told the bartender that I had a flat

And would he be kind enough to give me change for a one

There was one thing I was sure proud to see

There wasn't a soul in the place, 'cept for him and me

And he just looked disgusted and pointed toward the telephone.

...

I just ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar

When some guy walked in and said; "Who owns this car?

With the peace sign, the mag wheels and four on the floor?"

Well, he looked at me and I damn near died

And I decided that I'd just wait outside

So I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door.

Just when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin

These five big dudes come strollin' in

With this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth

And I was almost to the door when the biggest one

Said; "You tip your hat to this lady, son."

And when I did all that hair fell out from underneath.

Now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight

In Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night

'Specially when there was three of them and only one of me

They all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick

And I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick

So I just reached out and kicked old green-teeth right in the knee.

He let out a yell that'd curl your hair

But before he could move, I grabbed me a chair

And said; "Watch him folks, 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man."

"Well, you may not know it, but this man's a spy

He's an undercover agent for the FBI

And he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan."

...

"He's a friend of them long-haired, hippie type, pinko fags

I betcha he's even got a Commie flag

Tacked up on the wall, inside of his garage

He's a snake in the grass, I tell ya guys

He may look dumb, but that's just a disguise

He's a mastermind in the ways of espionage."

They all started lookin' real suspicious at him

And he jumped up an' said; "Now, just wait a minute, Jim

You know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life."

"I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Birch

And I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church

And I ain't even got a garage, you can call home and ask my wife."

Then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed

But I didn't wait around to hear the rest

I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck

...

Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud

Of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd

Comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot

And I guess I should-a gone ahead and run

But somehow I couldn't resist the fun

Of chasin' them all just once around the parkin' lot.

Well, they're headin' for their car, but I hit the gas

And spun around and headed them off at the pass

I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air

Ha Ha, well, I had 'em all out there steppin' and fetchin'

Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'

But I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there.

...

Well, I think I'm gonna re-route my trip

I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped

If I went to L.A. - via Omaha.

I’ve been confiding my confessions

To the grackles and the coffee and the cottons in my crimes

I been turning my directions

To the image of the graceful like the smoke on the vine

Can’t you hear me when I tell you

Although my heat is grievous I make rhymes

Are you ailing or are you crying

Out to Jesus for to make a bed to lie.

Name your sons after bombs yer daughters after bugs

Elijah make a bed for to lay them down upon

For they may not know the How or the why to make it home

To-night Tonight

I been imbibing my prescriptions

Like the lover of the coward and the peacock and the crow

I been singing with discretion

To the black snakes and the baby and the only woman I know

Can’t you hear me when I tell you

Although my heat is grievous I make rhymes

Are you ailing or are you crying

Out to Jesus for to make a bed to lie.

Name your sons after bombs yer daughters after bugs

Elijah make a bed for to lay them down upon

For they may not know the How or the why to make it home

To-night Tonight

I’ve been swearing my successions

That to labor is the honest and to failure it may lead

I been dressing my depression

Like in all good men there’s weakness and a language and a need

Can’t you hear me when I tell you

Although my heat is grievous I make rhymes

Are you ailing or are you crying

Out to Jesus for to make a bed to lie.

Name your sons after bombs yer daughters after bugs

Elijah make a bed for to lay them down upon

For they may not know the How or the why to make it home

To-night Tonight

Spanish songs in Andalucia

The shooting sites in the days of '39

Oh, please, leave the ventana open

Federico Lorca is dead and gone

Bullet holes in the cemetery walls

The black cars of the Guardia Civil

Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica

I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

CHORUS

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

Spanish weeks in my disco casino

The freedom fighters died upon the hill

They sang the red flag

They wore the black one

But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill

Back home the buses went up in flashes

The Irish tomb was drenched in blood

Spanish bombs shatter the hotels

My señorita's rose was nipped in the bud

CHORUS

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"

Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?

With trenches full of poets

The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line

Spanish bombs rock the province

I'm hearing music from another time

Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava

I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight

CHORUS

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO

Yo TE QUIERO, oh MI corazon

oh MI corazon

oh MI corazon

Spanish songs in Andalucia, mandolina, oh mi corazon

Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon

oh MI corazon

oh MI corazon

oh MI corazon

Coming home with a bottle,trying not to break the seal.

This Friday evening traffic's about enough to break a man's will.

And I can't wait to see you and see how your week has gone,

and tear into Old No.7 and make love till dawn.

But your Mama she'll be calling, if she ain't knocking on the door.

And it won't take me long to remember what I brought that bottle home for.

And we'll all get to fighting, just like we always do.

And by Saturday morning, I'll be singing these blues:

Last night I slept with my boots on again,

one cut on my forehead and one my chin,

on the hard old floor with nothin to cover up with.

You got me real good, girl, and I must admit,

you pack purty mean punch for such a pretty little dish.

And it's a shame to know most folks don't ever know love like this.

Come Monday morning, I'll be sore to a fare-thee-well.

Cussin' God and America, wishing them both just to send me off to hell.

But the boss man don't want no excuses when it comes time to get on the clock.

And without that paycheck, I'd lose the rest of what sweet love I got.

Last night I slept with my boots on again,

one cut on my forehead and one my chin,

on the hard old floor with nothin to cover up with.

You got me real good, girl, and I must admit,

you pack purty mean punch for such a pretty little dish.

And it's a shame to know most folks don't ever know love like this.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life,

You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly,

Blackbird fly,

Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

dedicated to my gramsy... <3

I met my love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

Kissed a girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Clouds a drifting across the moon

Cats a prowling on their beat

Spring's a girl in the street at night

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Heard a siren from the docks

Saw a train set the night on fire

Smelled the spring on the smoky wind

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

I'm going to make me a good sharp axe

Shining steel tempered in the fire

Will chop you down like an old dead tree

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

I met my love by the gas works wall

Dreamed a dream by the old canal

Kissed a girl by the factory wall

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Dirty old town

Oh, oh deep water, black and cold like the night

I stand with arms wide open,

I've run a twisted line

I'm a stranger in the eyes of the Maker

I could not see for the fog in my eyes

I could not feel for the fear in my life

And from across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light

Jean Baptiste's walking to me with the Maker

My body is bent and broken by long and dangerous sleep

I can't work the fields of Abraham and turn my head away

I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker

Brother John, have you seen the homeless daughters

Standing there with broken wings

I have seen the flaming swords

there over east of eden

Burning in the eyes of the Maker

Burning in the eyes of the Maker

Burning in the eyes of the Maker...

Oh, river rise from your sleep...

Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry,

Don’t you see the time flashin’ by.

Honey, got no money,

I’m all sixes and sevens and nines.

Say now, baby, I’m the rank outsider,

You can be my partner in crime.

Thank you for your wine, california,

Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits.

Yes I got the desert in my toenail

And I hid the speed inside my shoe.

Well the ballrooms and smelly bordellos

And dressing rooms filled with parasites.

On stage the band has got problems,

They’re a bag of nerves on first nights.

He ain’t tied down to no home town,

Yeah, and he thought he was wreckless.

You think he’s bad, he thinks you’re mad,

Yeah, and the guitar player gets restless.

And his coat is torn and frayed,

It’s seen much better days.

Just as long as the guitar plays

Let it steal your heart away,

Let it steal your heart away.

I’m the man who walks the hillside in the sweet summer sun.

I’m the man that brings you roses when you ain’t got none.

Well I can run and jump and fish, but I won’t fight

You if you want to push and pull with me all night.

Give me little drink from you loving cup.

Just one drink and I’ll fall down drunk.

I feel so humble with you tonight,

Just sitting in front of the fire.

See your face dancing in the flame,

Feel your mouth kissing me again,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz,

What a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Oh, what a beautiful buzz, what a beautiful buzz.

Always took candy from strangers,

Didn’t wanna get me no trade.

Never want to be like papa,

Working for the boss ev’ry night and day.

I need a love to keep me happy,

I need a love, baby won’t ya keep me happy.

Baby, won’t ya keep me happy.

Bit off more than I can chew and I knew what it was leading to,

Some things, well, I can’t refuse,

One of them, one of them the bedroom blues.

She delivers right on time, I can’t resist a corny line,

But take the shine right off you shoes,

Carryin’, carryin’ the bedroom blues.

May the good lord shine a light on you,

Make every song you sing your favorite tune.

May the good lord shine a light on you,

Warm like the evening sun.

exile is my style...
