All Washed Up
04:41
|

It’s like surgery
On my hands and feet
Like a drum
Tryin to find a beat
Babe I don’t believe what I see
It’s happened to me
I’m all washed up
Like a diary
I forgot to keep
Like a drug
To help me sleep
Babe I don’t know what to believe
But it’s plain to see
I’m all washed up
The ship is sunk
The goose is cooked
Ain’t got no watch
To walk off and hawk
As it stands
I can hardly talk
It’s just my luck
I’m all washed up
I’m all washed up
And that must mean that
Somethin’s about to change
I’m all washed up
Stuck here on the sidewalk
Feelin strange
I’m all washed up
I’ll take a good look around
And see what’s left that I can save
The ship is sunk
The goose is cooked
The deal is done
This ain’t no fun
I’m all washed up
I’m all washed up
I’m all washed up
I’m all washed up
Desesperado
Arruinado
Hundido
Jodido
Desesperado
Arruinado
Hundio
Tranquilo

Ransom Note
04:03
|
|||
There is a ransom note
Flickers in the wind
And you might stay out all night
If you stop to look at it
And when your heart feels hard
You think that it might rust
Do what you must
And then when you toss and turn
Then turn around and laugh
There’s still that ransom note
Breathin down your back
Just don’t say anything
Til you know exactly what to ask
And don’t look back
Now where did you go last night
When you ran and disappeared
With thunder in your eyes
And fire comin out your ears
There were no fingerprints
No signs that I could find
Where do you hide
Now rain pours frequently
In streams around my feet
And sirens strange come scream
Then beat on down the street
While you’re inside warm and waiting for
When we will meet
What do you see

Carolina, Magdelena
05:22
|
|||
The whippoorwill
Sends a chill
Through the mountain
Turning in
Straight on through the canyon
And out again
So will you write
Or send a note
Scribble sunsets
And inkblot moons
On the corner of the postcard
If there's any room
Now Carolina
Desdemona
Is this real
And is it all that you want
Magdelena
Desert feeler
Sing to me
I’m so pent up
But Carolina come inside
Tonight I might like to
Get it right
Get it right
The stolen change
The wind and rain
The clang in my pockets
Where all these pennies shake
As I clamor down the boardwalk
Like a hurricane
Through tired lights
And dirty streets
The city brags
Of that same old misery
As my feet quickstep the pavement
In a blur of heat
Now Carolina
When you find a mystery
And I start showin up
You won't know what Magdelena means to me
And you don't know what she does
You don’t know what she does
Carolina come inside
Tonight I just might like
To finally get it right
Carolina come inside
Oh tonight I just might die
To finally get it
Finally get it right
Finally get it
Finally get it right
Finally get it
Finally get it right
Finally get it
Finally get it right

The Prison Bell
05:34
|
|||
When the prison bell
Is ringin out the yard
I just can’t tell
It all comes on so hard
With your drunken feet
Tryin to find the door
Now I just can’t keep
I just can’t keep this secret anymore
In them quiet streets
You’re really never sure
What’s good to keep
And what’s worth waitin for
I’d like to be
The shadow on your wall
I’d like to be
Busy makin music and moonlight by the door
Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Until that prison keep
Dozes off and starts to snore
And them stone white sheets
They keep feelin tired and worn
Don’t ya speak
And don’t ya wait one moment more
Don’t ya weep
Cause I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Don’t ya weep
And don’t ya wait one moment more
Don’t ya speak
Cause I’m waitin by the door
Until that prison bell
Rings out loud and long
I still can’t tell
Cause I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
I’m waitin by
Waitin by the door
I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
I’m busy makin music and moonlight by the door
Waitin by
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door
Waitin by the door

Daisy and the Full Moon
05:17
|
|||
She said
There’s too much in my heart
It just can’t fit
That’s why I’m lyin round waitin
And wondrin what to do with it
Now babe some days
You’re gonna feel like this
With your heart tween your hands
And the heartache in your hips
So when your lowdown lovely footsteps
Hit the street
A cool wind comes
Blows leaves all round your feet
Like ramblin hearts that stumble into the beat
While the muse and the tune and the blues
Keep you company
And now the full moon shows up
Everywhere you walk
Like she’s cryin from the sky
Tryin to get a point across
And most ways you wind up feelin lost
And that’s round bout the time
That the full moon drags you off
She staggers you into the bar room
Then sits you down
She shines a light in every corner
Til the rest of the bar fills out
Then she says
Daisy it’s got too loud to shout
So let me come and whisper to you
I got so much to tell you now
Now
Now
Now Daisy Daisy
Give me your answer do
There’s a whole lot of life we ain’t not yet got to
And if I’m feelin sad and blue
Daisy I wake up feelin sad and blue
And that ain’t nothin new
You see the full moon stays out late
Straight past dawn
And the player piano just keeps playin on
And Daisy sometimes everything feels wrong
But babe let’s do it we can move it
We can make it to another song
So bring the music back
And call up all the band
Daisy I think you can be
The queen of all my dying lands
And most things we’ll never understand
Like this moment when we got it
And another one breakin in
Like this moment when it’s here
And another one about to begin
Kinda like your heart between my hands
Beside your hips
Like this moment when it happens
And another one about to end

Otra
03:48
|

Strung to the ballast
Losing my head
I been reading all about it
But I’d rather forget
Just wait that magic trumpet’s bout to
Stand up and blast
With a song
With the right one
A song that will last
I been starin off the starboard bow
While the waves crash up the hull
I keep the engine running
But the currents push and pull
So wait them waves come crash
Then they climb against the wall
With a song
Here it comes
That new song’s about to fall
I been slowly losin interest
And barely makin sense
It’s like tryin to read the compass
But I just see spinning hands
I don’t want to believe it
And I don’t know what to do
But that same bright song that got you lost
Is the song to get you through
So I’m keepin with the rhythm
I keep tryin to catch a lead
Everything that grows up tall and strong
Starts off like a little seed
I’m tryin to find the image
Tryin to clear out all the doubt
With a song
A song you can sing
A song you can shout
I been reading all about it
But I’d rather forget
It feels like the end is coming
But the end ain’t happened yet
So wait that magic trumpet
Well she’s bound to really blow
With a song
A midnight melody that moans
One more song for the road

The Sitting Room
05:53
|
|||
All night waitin in the sitting room
Babe ain’t nothin else to do
Them midnight gamblers sure play hard
When the waitress screams out
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
With the candles lit
The shadows split
And you’re sittin there and waitin
For the music to hit
The shadows grow
And the people moan
Babe that’s what it feels like
In the sitting room
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god
A door slams shut
The shadows look up
You keep your head bowed down
Keep countin your luck
The shadows play a dirty game
But you’re stuck there waitin
And playin the same
A table flops
And the cards all fly
Now everybody’s wondrin who’ll be next to die
A tall lank cowboy turns around
Then another table flops
Another table down
And it’s alright
The wall’s about to fall
It feels just fine
When no one feels at all
She’ll pick you up
Then set you down where you are
It’s alright
Babe it’s like a heartbeat dyin to be born
Babe it’s like a heartbeat bangin down the door
It’s alright
The wall’s about to fall
It feels just fine
When no on feels at all
She’ll pick you up
Then set you back down right where you are
It’s alright
Babe it’s like a heartbeat bangin down the door
Babe it’s like a heartbeat dyin to be born
Babe it’s like a heartbeat bangin down the door
Babe it’s like a heartbeat dying to be born
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
