Get Together
Love is but a song we sing
And fears the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
You may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
We will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moments sunlight
Fading in the grass yeah
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now

Bartenders Blues
Im just a bartender
I dont like my work
I dont mind the money at all
I see lots of sad faces
And lots of bad cases
Of folks with their backs to the wall
I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going astray
A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away
I can light up your smokes
And Ill laugh at your jokes
And Ill watch you fall down on your knees
Close down this bar
Gas up my car
Pack up and mail in my key
I need four walls around me to hold my life
To keep me from going a-stray
A honky-tonk angel to hold me tight
To keep me from slipping away

Welcome Me
Welcome me to your city of angels
Devil prophets still hold my hand
I walked your stillborn streets for hours
Ethnic echoes spitting out their trials
They tell me Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon
The first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
Welcome me to a haven given
Its well received into my open arms
Oh I ran in my sleep through shaking tremors
I felt the splitting earth echoing in my ears
I feel it Ill be the first to praise the sun
The first to praise the moon
The first to hold the lone coyote
The last to set it free
Welcome me to your city of angels
Theres a devil monkey laying on our backs
Now tell me wheres the heart
Wheres the bullet for breaking

Gone Again
Think Ill bag that trip for two
Pack it up to kakadu
Honey, its not for the weather
Or the lack of loving you
I got all this in between
Something I did not forsee
All the deals I made dont matter
If I cant just let you be
Gone again
Gone again
There aint no way
That Im gonna let this heart mend
Gone again
I walked in kings cross for awhile
Gave a junkie girl a smile
We both traded in for danger
Or the company of strangers
She said all her family
Was at the welfare agency
Then she swindled my last twenty

Thin Line
I thought the time was passed when I could
Find beauty in a birds
I set the stage and the scenery
Rehearsing every word
Yeah but when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
And its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
All right
With my confidence on fire
I set to fixin up my roles
My separation of desires
Just left me deeper down in the hole
Yeah when I tried to make it more
Well it was always less
And its a thin line between pleasing yourself
And pleasing somebody else
Yeah and when I tried to make it more

Down By The River
Be on my side
Ill be on your side
There is no reason for you to hide
Its so hard staying here all alone
You could be taking me for a ride
She could drag me over the rainbow
Send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river
Dead
Take my hand
Ill take your hand baby
Together we may get away
This much madness is too much sorrow
Its impossible to make it today
Oh baby
She could drag me over the rainbow
Send me away
Down by the river

Half Moon Cafe
At the half moon cafe we drank to our lives
Like pseudo-believers in love
Weve been through our holes in the walls and the dives
Where you drink to recall what you once had a vision of
And we talk of our lives in a prison
Though we both know its better to be
Safe within our indecision
Than taking the risk to be free
And you were to be a great poet
Id find my fame in song
But we somehow saw failure more closely
Than fame all along
And now you manage a hamburger stand
And I havent found steady work yet
And we meet here to talk and pretend
That we know no regret
But how much is chance
How much would you decide
How much is murder of our dreams
How much is suicide

Leeds
Its dark at 4 pm in leeds
The steeples pierce the skylight till the last of it bleeds
The absent sound of another day as it recedes
Into the shadows
Until its nothing
Fax papers slipped under the hotel room door
Like food for the prisoner or the prospect to the whore
Well fed and halfway drunk I ache myself for more
Until Im shadows of myself
Until Im nothing
Sixteen black churches burning on the tv
All the way from texas to tennessee
And a politician locks my eye and says to me
There is no crisis here
Theres no conspiracy
I crave inertia every move made so I can stop
Whatever this madness is in me spinning like a top
On a bed of anxiety over a deep dark drop
Down into nothingness
Into withoutyouness

The Untitled Song
I tried my best to get over you
Kept my distance so I wouldnt have to show
That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile
Were the things that I needed you to know
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You might have read the writing on the page
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew it was I was falling for you
Sometimes I still think I could get to you
Then I laugh and think I could swim the seven seas
It seems when Im set to fly theres a storm up in the sky
When Im set to sail there isnt any breeze
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You might have read the writing on the page
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew it was I was falling for you
Its been some time now that I saw you in a photograph
Looking just the way you did so long ago
I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh
In that gentle way that used to let me know

Ozilline
Oh ozilline
The moon is almost full
And you dont need a torchlight
To see into these woods
Now sister bring the medicine
To keep you from decline
But its the waxing and the waining
Thats always on your mind
I said oh ozilline
(oh ozilline)
I feel for you
I said oh ozilline
(oh ozilline)
I feel for you
As soon as the corns in
The deer will come to feed
And when the berry ripens
The bird will come to eat
You build by the river
Its pretty but youll pay
