When you ring a bell, it can't be unrung
I can’t sit around at home where I don’t belong
So we packed up the van, just like the old days, playing the same old songs
Taking I-10 west into the setting sun
And we’re back on the road
South bound, trying to get away from the cold
Barely making the show
After last night baby I can guarantee
The jaws of hell are here to welcome me
But if you give us a shot, turn up the music, we’re a sight to see
At the end of the day baby we’re all you need
Well now I’m feeling alright
Downtown, it’s good to be back on the east side
And baby when they dim the lights
We’re playing favorites tonight
Playing on monday
Playing on tuesday
Playing on wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday into the sun
Somebody’s off to the side
Looks right, god it’s been such a long time
Since we laughed so hard that we cried

Eat It and Beat It
04:08

Take off your number
You had a good run or
At least that's what you tell yourself
You're gonna fall (fall)
So make the call
Before we put you on the shelf
Don’t bother with the referee
It’s all going back to the company
Take a break (break)
It ain’t a mistake
And everyone can see
You just don't got what it takes
To make it in rock and roll
And when you hear that dinner bell ringing
You’re for whom it tolls
Enjoy your last meal
I hope you worked up an appetite
Alright
It’s time for you to eat it and beat it
It’s getting cold
So now you gotta eat it and beat it
Tell em boys
Yeah you gotta eat it and beat
You’re getting old
It’s s time to eat it and beat it
The nail meets the hammer
So take down your banner
You better hit the bricks
The world turns (turns)
so lesson learned
Ya gotta know when to call it quits
Stop your sobbing tears
You're past your prime
By a couple years
You're getting burned (burned)
It's what you’ve earned
At least you got some souvenirs
Did you get everything you wanted
Before you went in the ditch
Sometimes a high riding womans got no choice
But to be a son of a bitch

All Lined Up
03:40
|
|
||
On dark winter nights
When the weather can be so cruel
I need to warm my spirit
I need to shoot some pool
Singles at the bar
Quarters so we can play
If you can rack them up
Then I can break
Are we calling our shots?
Or playing it more sly
Everytime
Its on the line
My oh my
I scratch on the side
Oh I fall to pieces
Cause I had em all lined up
The stars that help to guide me
Are the diamonds in the marquee
There's a long shadow
cast upon your face
But we’re not here to wallow
We came to escape
This world’s cold and we’re alone
But we’re not just drifting through outer space
We got shot an angle
To the deepest pocket yet made
If a black hole swallows you up
Would you be grateful to take the ride?

Don't Come Lookin'
03:00

I swear I won't tell
If you gaze into the wishing well
I’ll hold your feet
You can lean in to see how deep
Is my love, if you slip
Something made me lose my grip
Ain’t that a damn shame
If you ever climb out
And get a wild hair, I don’t care
It’s all gone wrong
Now it’s time to move along
So don’t come lookin’
For what cant be found
Don’t come lookin
Don’t need you around
I heard you dried out
Well that sounds swell but it’s still farewell
It’s a pretty song
Sing it to the next girl on your arm
Don’t come round
Bad luck’s known me
Since I cut down the holly tree
But my fortunes changed
I’ve been fighting shy now
But im on the mend and I’m with my friends
I’m feeling strong
Closer to the peace I been searching on
Don’t come looking now that I’ve been unbound

I Gotta Go
03:46

Summer nights
Far from the crow
I just can't hold back
When I reach that fever pitch, no
When i see you
You take me right out of the world
I get so excited everytime
You say those special words
Baby you’re driving me crazy
But
I gotta go
Such sweet sorrow
I gotta go right now
But I’ll see you tomorrow
Gotta go to come back
Sleep in for me
I wanna be the first thing you see
By the time
You wake up
I’ll be back in your arms
You wont miss a thing, no
Every morning
When I have to leave you alone
I’d rather crawl through broken glass
Than see you sleep on your own
Baby you’re driving me crazy
But
I gotta go
Such sweet sorrow
I gotta go right now
But I’m see you tomorrow
Gotta go but I’m off all afternoon
Morning comes always to soon
You know I’d love to stay
Today and everyday

Moonstruck

Oh I left your place last in the pouring rain
But when I got home the silence was louder than the storm
It's just been me for so long
It gets harder just to go on
I need some loving arms to keep me warm
Oh come on now
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck
More and more
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck
More and more
You linger in my mind like fog on the river
I was drinking with you boys when you first locked eyes with me
I might have started a brawl
When I smashed that disco ball
But the smile on your face made me feel so fancy free
Come on you son of a bitch
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck
More and more
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck
More and more
I aint wasting time no more
I dont play no games
Don't point no blame
I take my aim
I got no shame
I want your love
I want your love
Or I want no one
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck
More and more
Moonstruck
By my dumb luck
Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck
More and more

Mechanical Garden
05:54

Don't tell me the time
Don't tell me who’s who
I don't really want to know
Tomorrow I’ll write the book
Tonight I want another drink
And dance until the morning comes
Should we take a chance
Should I make the call
I can't decide which way to go
It's dark and hell is hot
But I don't feel a thing
No, not until the morning comes
Watch the wounded flowers sway
Watch them
Watch them waste away
A hand is reaching down
Rips them rips them from the ground
Is this life?
In the mechanical garden
Is this living in
The mechanical garden
Leave the light on
Let me stumble in
Just want one more for the road
I’m running out the clock
I think i’m going broke
But I need something to ease my worries
I'm just a soft machine
And I don’t care what's real
When living is a weeping wound
Everyone’s breaking down
Its gumming up the works
I guess I’m gonna take a cab to the city

Golden Hour
03:19

In my life
I’ve had my share of worries
I’ve been no stranger to love and loss
I know the contrast makes all the difference
What’s in view
And where is the camera pointing?
Is darkness lurking in every frame?
I know i’ve got to focus
And remember you in the
Light of the golden hour
Streaming down
Streaming right down on a field of wildflowers
Streaming down
Streaming down
Light of the golden hour
My goodbye
I hold your picture as tears come streaming from my eyes
Streaming down
Streaming down
In my candid moments
I always knew I could trust you
You were always so cool and composed
You always helped me focus
You were never blue in the

Tea On The Kettle
02:36

Remember where steel turned to rust?
The old dog cried behind the bus
You stopped the car cause you hated to see him alone
Well I don't know what’s in store
But I’d follow you a millions miles or more
As long as I got a biscuit, you got half
Of all I have to share
I love the way you give to me when there’s nothing to spare
Someday when we can find more than pennies and dimes
We’ll go somewhere gentle
Baby with you by my side, it’s a whole new ballgame
Cool air, butter and thyme, eggs on the fry
And tea on the kettle
We may have our disputes
You know me, I won’t say boo to a goose
But as long as I’ve got a jar you got half

Paper Time
02:49
|
|

In the morning when the paper comes
I know what to do
I go outside, I walk next door and I give it
straight to you
I don’t really care when the mail comes
‘Cause I got you here
I’m not really sure why it’s so hard to capture
But it’s
Papertime (gimme the news)
And when its paper time I don’t need to worry
(I know that it’s all alright)
When I’m old and I’m sick and weak
And life is passing me by
I’de hate to think what could have been
If i just had the nerve to try

When You Get Back
02:27

|

when you get back
I'll tell you the things that I never got to say
Before you went away
When you get back
I'll let you know just what you mean to me
How sweet it is gonna be
When you get back
Cause when you get back
Never will you be without a best friend
And when you get back
We'll go to all your favorite places in town again
When you get back
I promise to be near you when the night is black
So come back
When you get back
I'll return all of the things that belong to you
And when you get back
I can ask do you feel the same way too
When you get back
I'll be so full of joy but now I'm sad and blue
So come back, I need you.
