Murderbird
Murderbird you mock me so
Someone leaves , you start to crow
I'm telling' you cause it's for the best
Don't tell me we failed the test
Can't look back
Murderbird what do you see
Your up in the trees looking down at me
We gotta make the move when the signs are clear
Try to move on without any fear
It's not easy
I don't want to see him hurt
Waiting only makes it worse
Sitting here talking to the crows
like they know
how it turns out
in the end
Murderbird I'm talkin' to you
Because I'm not sure what to do
Over and over we make our plans
Sometimes they go hand in hand
with heartache, goddamn heartache
I don't want to see him go
Worryin' about the unknown
Sitting here ...talking to the crows
like they know
how it turns out
in the end
Murderbird just let it be
Further down the road we'll see
he's bound for a happy home
With loving arms to hold him close
He's better off
Murderbird I'm talking to you
Like you'd know what to do
Over and over we make our plans
Sometimes they go hand in hand
with heartache,
ever lovin' heartache

Veronica Speedwell
You're looking so swell , you got a beautiful look in your eyes
The bloom is about to open
Can't wait for another sunrise
All of the others around you look on
To see your colors fly up to the sky
Veronica Speedwell we never can tell
What you will do when you deliver your song
Your mysteries are simply unfolding
With every turn of the light
The secrets you're shyly with holding
Are brought to bear to mingle with our delight x2
Every song you're singing has got our ears a ringing
There's nothing you can ever harm
Every days a measure of heart felt pleasure
It's no wonder we give in to your lovin arms. x2
Veronica Speedwell, feeling the ground swell
Feeling the earth move right under my shoes
Rising right out of this old world
like something out of a dream
Coming as natural as rainfall
As simple as starlight and gravity
Simple as star light , and gravity
repeat Bridge
Veronica Speedwell, feeling the ground swell
Feeling the earth move right under my shoes

Pile Of Dust

If you are trying to find your way
And you are filled with self-loathing and doubt
I might just have the answer
To all the big questions
Don't be afraid, Its completely harmless
I'm just a simple working man
I serve the tunes here and do the best I can
If you are up to something
that haunts you, there is one thing
That you can do, when you just can't take it
Drink my friend
What's the use, living for the day when
It all ends
And you've become a pile of dust
On your way
To a place , that's all filled with peace and
harmony ?
Never mind. Have this one on me
Don't keep it bottled up inside
Just pull the cork and you can let it all out
Your cares are going to love it
There's a place where you can shove them
Into a hole where the sun ain't shinin'
Drink my friend
What's the use, living for the day when
It all ends
And you've become a pile of dust
On your way
To a place , that's all filled with peace and
harmony?
Never mind. Have this one on me
Is there a heaven ? I think "yes"
Sometimes you even see it down here on earth
But Hell... That's meant to scare you
And keep church filled up on Sunday
We'll all find out, when it's far too late , so
Drink my friend
What's the use, living for the day when
It all ends
And you've become a pile of dust
On your way
To a place , that's all filled with peace and
harmony
Never mind. Have this one on me

Hurt People

Hurt people hurt people
So damaged, spoiling for a fight
Hey mister you're not evil
You're just looking for a way out
Bad habits, poor choices
Sad memories starting to mount
Hard living, sinful ways
Start to weigh a poor man down
When the world could be so golden
When your fields could look so green
When your heart could be so open
You are sowing lonely broken dreams
(then I passed over Dead Horse Creek)
Dead horses that you are beating
Lost loves you have pushed away
Broken hearts that lie there bleeding
On that mournful ragged road you made
solo
Hard Luck, hard liquor
Bold lies that you tell for fun
Harsh words , Tears falling
Cryin' eyes aching through the night
Hurt people hurt people
So damaged , spoiling' for a fight
Hey mister you're not evil
You're just looking for a way out
Hurt people hurting people
So damaged , spoiling' for a fight
Fighting for the right
Hurt people hurting people
So damaged , spoiling' for a fight
Fighting for the right
Hurt people hurting people
So damaged spoiling' for a fight
Fighting for the right

Why Do You Call Me ?

If You Don't Want Me
Why do you call me
I try to help you
You just don't get me
You're making things up
That never even happened to you
If I'm so bad dear
Why do you call me
This was a glad song
Now its a sad one
I was so good to you
Why can't you just talk to me
You like to feel pain
You want to slander my name
If you don't want me
Why do you call me
I really love you baby, You know that it's true
But in the middle of the night
Do you wanna cuddle and coo
Or beat me baby…..black and blue
You like to feel pain
You want to slander my name
Hey, If you don't want me
Why do you call me
You're either down low
Or flying high somewhere
You're putting on a show
Or hiding in despair
Now I have no clue
And baby neither do you
If you don't want me
Why do you call me
If I 'm so evil , why do you haunt me

Far Away

Picture on a motel wall
Palm trees growing very tall
A wonderland upon the sand so far away
Bedspread of a pale chenille
Light upon the window sill
Casting shadows filtered from so far away
Smoke another cigarette to the end
Drink Tequila remembering to for get again
having to distil regret out of the haze
Crime pays in many ways
Dogs bark at the moon
It fills my motel room
I'll be leaving , leaving soon
I'll be far away
Plans fly overhead
I wonder what we should have said
But that was oh so long ago and
Far away
Smoke another cigarette to the end
Drink Tequila remembering to for get again
having to distil regret out of the haze
Crime pays in many ways
Far away
Far away
Far away

Long Gone Hereafter
When you're gone and dead for ever
Who can say where you'll go , I don't know
All that's left here are bones
While you're riding a big wave
And you're having a big day
In the long gone hereafter
When you're sleeping in bed and dreaming
Who can say where you go I don't know
You may wander and moan
While you're riding a big wave
And you're having a big day
In the long gone hereafter
When you are laying with the one you love
Who can say where you go I don't know
When two become one
You're riding a big wave
And you're having a big day
In the long gone hereafter
When I'm gone and dead for ever
Who can say where I'll go , I don't know
All that's left here are bones
I'll be riding a big wave
I'll be having a big day
In the long gone hereafter

You Took The Hell Out Of Helsinki
You are the master I am the slave
You tell me when and how to behave
I've gotta say feels good to belong
I am the servant , You are the song
You wake me up in the middle of the night
I've learned not to put up a fight
I find it strange how we get along
I am a follower, you are the song
Sometime I think I run the show
I chose the words and where they go
I start to think I'm oh so strong
I'm a believer and I couldn't leave you if I tried
And I can do whatever I want
And I can think whatever I want
And I can feel whatever i want
And I am falling for you ooooo ooo ooo
Then you say things that I don't mean
You make promises I can't keep
You wear me out and you get it wrong
I'm like some kinda share cropper you are the song
I'm home taking stock how you shaped me
How you took the hell outta Helsinki
I look good in these chains that you put on
I am a willing hostage …You are the song

Everybody Wants You Around
Everybody wants you around
Everybody wants to talk to you
There's a single light on when you walk into a room
They all comfort you
They all cry for you
A stranger brighter open sound
Comes to you when you're around
Everybody sees a better way
When they hear the things you say
No one sees you falling for the same old tired tune
They all laugh with you
and want to play for you
Overruled and underpayed ,they'll
Never say you've over stayed
oo oo oo etc solo
Everybody likes your flair
And how you put yourself into your clothes
But its not the only thing that gets you into here
that lack of symetry
And that delivery
A stranger brighter open sound
Comes to you when you're around
oo hoo hoo etc.
