Hangover

HANGOVER
My heart’s on a string
Voices carry are you listening
I was looking for a whole nother thing
Love bite bee sting
Poison the vein
You’re parading your loss
Living your heartbreak in style
Forsake your plans all the while
Car crash earthquake
Shake it all down
So you want me
And you want to taste some blood
And you need me
And you need me like a drug
And you feel me
Like a hangover like a hangover
Are you with me
Well you gotta show some love
I heard your answering bell
Ringing out like you got something to sell
I bought your story you know I’ll never tell
Love bite bee sting
Poison the well
I gave it a shot
The gun was smoking
And the barrel was hot
You think I’m joking well I’m sorry I’m not
Catch or get caught
Is that all you got
So you want me
And you want to taste some blood
And you need me
And you need me like a drug
And you feel me
Like a hangover like a hangover
Are you with me
Well you gotta show some love
Yeah you gotta show some love

Give Up the Ghost

GIVE UP THE GHOST
Fade in the moonlight
Waiting for summer to shift
In the sands
We were sinking
Holding each other tight
Winter came last night
Filling our lungs
With a cold wind
Won’t break our branches
When we are bathed in light
And you breathe out breathe out
Hang in the air
Breathe out breathe out
One more time
If you can’t get free
In your mind
And you can’t believe
It’s all right
You can leave it up to me
One more time
I won’t give up the ghost
I won’t deny it
My heart’s open wide
My lips they are sealed
And my hands they are tied
If you cannot save me
At least I know you tried
Heartbreak or failure
Who could be blamed
But the one who created
All that we love and
All that we leave behind
And you breathe out breathe out
Hang in the air
Breathe out breathe out
One more time
If you can’t get free
In your mind
And you can’t believe
It’s all right
You can leave it up to me
One more time
I won’t give up the ghost
Breathe out breathe out
Hang in the air
Breathe out breathe out
One last time

Looking Around

LOOKING AROUND
So you say you wanna mainline
But I can feel your beating heart in mine
So you’re heavy on the breakdown
It’s no Roman Holiday this time
But I can feel your beating heart
Beating in mine
You were always looking around
I was always looking around
Why we always looking around
When love is on the inside
Wait go easy on the ending
There’s a storm that opens up the sky
Love it takes a lot of mending
When there’s a heavy low for every high
Maybe if I take you low
I’ll take you real high
You were always looking around
I was always looking around
Why we always looking around
When love is on the inside
You were always looking around
So I was always looking around
Why we always looking around
When our love is on the inside
And when the lightning strikes you
Will you be ready to go
Cause it’ll get inside you
But you really wanted to know
Well you know I was always
Looking out for you

Let Me Go

LET ME GO
Breathe it in
Hold my breath
I don’t have the heart
To live without it
It’s my fault
It’s your fault
If you don’t give a damn
Forget about it
I won’t call it bad
You know I wanted more than that
You know I gave it all I had
You just let it go like that
Find a fire to light
Go set your flares off in the night
I’ll be miles out of sight
Cause you just let me go like that
Don’t get involved
Problem solved
Leave it on the table
What’s the difference
I look at you
You look at me
But we can’t see the forest
For the distance
Oh the distance
I won’t call it bad
You know I wanted more than that
You know I gave it all I had
You just let it go like that
Find a fire to light
Go set your flares off in the night
I’ll be miles out of sight
Cause you just let me go like that
You go you go
You go on down
You dream you dream
You dream out loud
You eat your heart out
Everytime

Big Idea

BIG IDEA
Oh what’s your big idea
Call me and tell me you’re missing me
Sounds like a master plan
Kill me or sleep with the enemy
Feels like another day
Could be the dawn of a century
I’ll stage a getaway
Call spades or diamonds for sympathy
I should have known
You were going crazy
Face first on the pavement
You should have known
I’m a born fatality
You and your coterie
Driving around like you own the street
If it were up to me
I might call in some medicine
I should have known
You were going crazy
Face first on the pavement
You should have known
I’m a born fatality
I should have known
I should have known
I should have known
Is there a way out of this
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I’m full of funny words
I don’t remember the alphabet
There was this song I heard
It takes so little to break me
I should have known
I should have known
I should have known
Is there a way out of this

Wide Open Plain

WIDE OPEN PLAIN
Given what you got
You don’t know till it’s gone
Don’t know who you love
Till it’s all undone
Love is like a freight train
Moving through the dark
Love is like a train
Rolling over me
Tell it to me lightly
Give it to me straight
You let it go too far
And now it’s too late
Holy as desire
Holy as a ring
Betting on Orion
Won’t save anything
Given what you want
You don’t want it anymore
Don’t know what you need
Till it’s walking out the door
You were counting stars
Throwing bottles from the shore
I saw a wide open plain
I will find Orion
A million miles away
Speeding in a car
On the interstate
I could use a hunter
He could use a war
You can throw your stars
On the ocean floor
Given what you want
You don’t want it anymore
Don’t know what you need
Till it’s walking out the door
You were counting stars
Throwing bottles from the shore
I saw a wide open plain

Best Friends' Love

BEST FRIENDS’ LOVE
Love you really had your way with me
Love you really got away from me
You really got away
Home is that really where I want to be
Home is that somebody’s fantasy
I won’t take you out
Or take you down
Until you prove to me
What a best friends’ love could really be
Faith lean into your old belief
Faith feel it like a slow relief
Like a slow relief
Hope is something that’ll get you high
Hope I worry about your alibi
I won’t take you out
Or take you down
Until you prove to me
What a best friends’ love could really be
You can break my bones
But not my heart
It’s already been bought
I sold it for a best friends’ love
I’ll forgive you
But I won’t forget
All the words you wasted on me
And if I look back
Well I won’t regret
Cause at least I loved somebody
I’m not gonna tell you
What is wrong or what is right
I’m not gonna tell you
That I’m missing you tonight
Yeah I’m missing you tonight
Yeah I’m missing you

BLUE HOTEL
Now the king has gone
Left his only son
To the throne and to the gun
Did you lose your nerve
Round a hairpin curve
If you want me I will run
I was falling for show and tell
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
You were calling I know you well
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
We were so in love
We thought nothing of
How we’d live to see the day
We would cut the wire
Watch it all catch fire
If you want me I will run away
Are you gonna stop me
I was falling for show and tell
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
You were calling I know you well
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
Are you gonna stop me now
Are you gonna stop me now
Are you gonna stop me now
I was falling for show and tell
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
You were calling I know you well
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
Heartbreak in a blue hotel
Heartbreak and no one to tell

The State I'm In
03:25

THE STATE I’M IN
There’s nothing going right
In the neighborhood
I’m hanging up my heart
Just to call it good
You were always right
When you said you could
Pull me on through like I knew you would
We go inside out
We go outside in
Did I sleep like iron
In your diamond mind
Did I tear the veil
Did I cross the line
I would storm the heavens
Looking for a sign
I would leave it all leave it all behind
To go inside out
Outside in
Till I feel alive
In the state I’m in
Late on a Friday
You know I’m looking out for you
You were the one way
I could come back new
Summer’s on the wind
Round the very bend
We could chase it down
To the bitter end
Would you come with me
Would you drink my cup
If you take my hand would I give it up
Late on a Friday
You know I’m looking out for you
You were the one way
I could come back new
There’s nothing going right
In the neighborhood
The sound of your voice
It would do me good

Island of the Misfit

ISLAND OF THE MISFIT
Whatever you want you got it
Whatever you want you need you don’t
Who’s gonna take you home
When you’re all alone
Breaking my heart on purpose
Flowers of cellophane
Swimming beneath the surface
In steady rain
God only knows
Just exactly where we went wrong in this
I don’t suppose
You could tell me where I belong in this
And I confess
Everything I wanted but could not get
Under duress
Swimming from the island of the misfit
Whatever you want you got it
Whatever you need you don’t
Tearing your heart to pieces
Won’t get you off
Always a streetlight dancer
Living your love in the dark
I’d give you any answer
For one last spark
God only knows
Just exactly where we went wrong in this
I don’t suppose
You could tell me where I belong in this
And I confess
Everything I wanted but could not get
Under duress
Swimming from the island of the misfit
And you don’t know
What you won’t know
And what hurts to hear
And you won’t know
What you will not hear
God only knows
Just exactly where we went wrong in this
I don’t suppose
You could tell me where I belong in this
And I confess
Everything I wanted but could not get
Under duress
Swimming from the island of the misfit
