Tell It To The Dust

Tell it to the Dust
I swam my way from bar to bar
I couldn’t find you where you are
But now, it’s undone
The ragged end of nowhere near
“The Idiot” was in my ear
And all is undone
And the red lights on Boylan slow me down
I spent a year out there one night when you were gone
I know it’s dust to dust
I know it all will fade
I know it’s built to rust
And that it all will change
So say the things you want to do
And go as far as you can go
‘Cause all I could ever see
Is the miles laid in front of me
Remember not to kill yourself
Eat your food and take your pills
And stop and see friends
‘Cause in the parking lot tonight
You could loose it all
And have to hitch or walk home
And the red lights on Flatbush sang a song
I heard that song one night out there when we were gone
I know it’s dust to dust
I know it all will fade
I know it’s built to rust
And that it all will change
So dance, dance across the room
I saw a certain light in you
Then drive, drive me to your room
And I will walk on a lazy afternoon
And the red lights on St. Mary’s sang a song
I heard that song one night out there when I was gone
I know it’s dust to dust
I know it all will fade
I know it’s built to rust
And that it all will change
So save, save another life
Come on save, save another life
‘Cause all I could ever see
Was the miles laid in front of me.

Goodbye Friend

Goodbye Friend
What do you say when they slip away?
That’s how it is
And you can’t change a thing about the way things are
So I’m not trying
Keeping track of the brand new days
I wish that I could turn them in
To something different than what we got
‘Cause now we’re missing your ways
Oh yeah, we’re missing you ways
Goodbye friend
People around try to talk it all out
Find a meaning
Once I wanted to go but you beat me out
And you weren’t trying
I’m tired of all these contradictions
I’m heading out towards the light
I hear your song most everyday
And now I’m singing with you
Yeah, I’m singing with you
Goodbye friend
It’s not like you’re not around
I feel you everyday
And I see you in my ways
So you’re not gone
Goodbye friend
Goodbye friend
You’re keeping track
Of what the kid gets up to I know
But time runs short
Now that I’m keeping track of where it goes
We’re drifting out on the edge right now
I wish that I could set it right
I only hope you know that we’re feeling strong
In that we’re missing you ways
We’re missing your ways
Yeah, we’re missing you ways
Goodbye friend

So It Goes

So it Goes
Along discarded roads
You bore that final load
Alone again, alone again
A purple sun will melt
Your brains and then your belt
I watched the bones beneath your skin
All along, all along
So it goes
I could not tell you when
We burned your body then
You fell behind and then below
So hurry down that trick is told
You were young but far too old
Take these memories away
All along, all along
So it goes
Making all this work
To say that we were passing
Making all this work
For good
So much time fucking up
In repair then patching shut
All the holes I made in rage
Come along I’ll be your friend
Don’t you know I need a friend?
For everyone there is a place
All along, all along
So it goes

Something New

Something New
Throw away the dreams you had
Everything is new
Walk on down a brand new street
Find a new way through
See the signposts all around you
Buildings fill the air
The dreams you had have slipped away
They’re replaced with
Something new
The noose is gone the gun is gone
The knife and needle too
Feeling stronger everyday
Hardly think of you
Now you’re wondering what you’re doing
And where you’re going to
The plans you had have been destroyed
Time to think of
Something new
La la la la
Watch the worry work the bone
Clean it through and through
A virgin world of dirt and dust
A heaven made of you
Now I’m wondering when you’re coming
And if I’m getting through
The thoughts I had have been waylaid
Still I’m waiting
For something new
La la la la

Innocents

Innocents
Come back now sad eyes
Come back to where you belong
Run back now sad eyes
Run back you’ve been gone far too long
From me
I know we’re only sunbeams
Or maybe moonbeams
With you, we are innocent
And true, we are innocent
With you, we are innocent
And true
Don’t wait now long hair
Don’t wait these minutes are gone
Rush back now long hair
Rush back you’ve been gone far too long
From me
I know we’re only sunbeams
Or maybe moonbeams
With you, we are innocent
And true, we are innocent
With you, we are innocent
And true

Don’t Worry Honey, Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
I know you be wondering what’s gonna happen
In times like these of blood and metal
And then you’ve been waiting for the sun to shine
And thinking maybe it won’t happen this time
I know you got a lot of questions and a lot of worry
Don’t worry honey, everything’s gonna be alright
It’ll be alright
You can climb a mountain and see real far
See Ursa Major and find the Northern star
It’s all a big circle you’re coming home
It’s a big ride – you’re riding on
I know you got a lot of questions and a lot of worry
Don’t worry honey, everything’s gonna be alright
It’ll be alright

Into The Sun

Into the Sun
Pull up stakes it’s time to go
Grab the compass well don’t you know
Set the course we’re heading up and into the sun
We’ll get a driver and sit in back
Drink cold beer and just relax
Turn it up we’re heading out and into the sun
When they find us years from now
Arm in arm behind the silver clouds
Up on the sun
I’ve got a plan it’s called attack
Just stop waiting and don’t look back
And then we’re heading up and into the sun
Red to orange and black to blue
I know now where we’re going to
We’re heading out, up and into the sun
When they find us in a mountain grave
Among the horses and the painted caves
Up on the sun
Don’t pack your bags, don’t say goodbye
The time is now we gotta fly
Don’t think twice we’re heading out, up and into the sun
If they don’t find us years from now
It doesn’t matter because we made it out
We’re up on the sun

Go Alone

Go Alone
Don’t go it alone you’re going to need
A friend to watch your back,
Someone to be reflection,
To help you fight the beast
Oh, I know you got the goods
You can walk for miles and miles
Through any kind of weather
The holes are in your leather
Oh, you wear it on your sleeve
But you know that that’s not all you need
Don’t go alone
All the fools down at the bar
You read it in their faces
The ghosts are in their places
And they’re filling in the blanks
Oh, advice it flows like bourbon
In sloppy little shots
They tell you all the problems
And how they got them got
Oh, they wear it on their sleeves
But they know that that’s not all they need
Don’t go alone
Don’t go alone without anyone
Don’t go alone without anyone
Ah-ah
Oh, you wear it on your sleeve
But you know that that’s not all you need
Don’t go alone
Don’t go alone without anyone
Don’t go alone without anyone
Ah-ah

Come On Now

Come On Now
So long now I heard you talk
I saw you walk across the room
I heard you laugh
Open the door and come on in
And then we’re off with a vengeance
No lights down a darkened road
To a town that’s open all night
It went something like that
You know I got a dirty mind
Full of rocks and full of weeds
Broken glass and restless dreams, oh yeah
So come on in let’s see a smile
Let’s hear a laugh, you know I’m waiting for that sound
To crack the sky and come on through
Clear the fog and then I’ll see you
Sharp cuts in a jagged world
Finding focus after years out of sight
It goes something like that
And then we hit the open road
Invent the future leave the past
Take the trip and don’t come back to this space
Oh, come on now

Keep Me Hanging On

Keep Me Hanging On
When the wind did blow our way
And every word you said to me
Well it hit me at the root
It played that missing note
You were always a heartbeat away
I don’t know what it was
You keep me hanging on
In this forest of silver trees
Where the people are the leaves
In a city by the sea
You brought that feeling back top me
You were always a heartbeat away
I don’t know what it was
You keep me hanging on

Feel The Same

Feel The Same
I want you to know that everything’s all right
Yeah, I want you to know that everything’s all right
You can call me on the phone
And look me up when you’re at home
Well, it’s all right
I feel the same as you
I’m counting on days to leave a silver thread
Construct a new cloud, then watch the whole thing burn
I have seen the whole thing stop
And woke up where? Well, I forgot
Well, it’s all right
Did you ever feel the same?
I want to get high then I want to leave the room
Not saying goodbye, but I gotta leave the room
Well, everybody’s got a way
To justify or fly away
Well, it’s all right
I feel the same as you

Doornail
Two thousand years have come and gone
Still you sing that same old song
All those bodies left behind
But now you walk with eyes gone blind
So don’t you say
That time will change it all around
‘Cause time won’t change a thing
When all are dead, all are free
It’s all the same
It’s all the same you see
Talk across the atmosphere
Looking for new ways to fear
Bend it all around to fit
But, you know, it’s funk or counterfeit
So don’t you say
That god will work it all out
‘Cause god won’t change a thing
All are dead and all are free
It’s all the same
It’s all the same to see
So don’t you say
Time won’t change a thing
All are dead and all are free
It’s all the same
It’s all the same you see
