BEHOLD
the holy and humble abode
where I first came to know my mama
as a lioness rearing a lamb
buyer beware
I am a bridge under repair
cross me and you might not make it to the other side
I’M IN
ready to follow you with all of my heart
I can see you and me on an island
I can picture you there in my arms
I meant what I said when I told you so
and again when I read your fortune
tears ran down your face
over the cliff
and into the ocean blue

ooo … ooo …
oooooo … oooooo … oooooo
that night you were steady and stable
said you adored the décor
woke up feeling ready and able
to finally call off the war
when you got up from the table
I followed you into the yard
some things, they refuse to be labeled
and others don’t know what they are
you spend all your free time falling
in and out of a day glow dreaming
you were mine til the wild came calling
all the while you were leaving the scene
are you leaving me?

Everybody's Girl

how does it feel
now that you’re out from underneath my wheels?
now that you can do what you wanna do
anytime you want to
when the spirit moves you
run run run run along number one
the long day’s done, all the shops are closing
run run run run along
the future’s wide open
the future’s wide open
how am I supposed to feel
when you make me look the fool
when you wheel and you deal me?
now you know your way around a foxhole
small town, couldn’t keep it on the down-low
run run run run along number one
act like you own it, drive it like you stole it
run run run run along
the future’s wide open
the future’s wide open
you can tell the world that you’re everybody’s girl
you’re ready as you’ll ever be
you can tell the world that you’re everybody’s girl
seek and destroy me
and I’ll be in hiding while you’re out riding high
there ain’t no denying it keeps me awake at night
staring at your portrait waiting for the paint to dry
how does it feel
how does it feel feel feel
run run run run along number one
there goes the sun, our shadows are growing
run run run run along
the future’s wide open
the future’s wide open
the future’s wide open
the future’s wide open

Keep Up Come On
02:15
|

|
I’m on a high on a high
been building up inside a long time
learning all about how to
survive
cause I’ve got nothing better to do
when I was dragging my heels
I never made me any headway
when I was spinning my wheels
I was wasting all my best days best days
buyer beware
I’m a bridge under repair
cross me and you just might not make it to the other side
I made a breakthrough
I took a stand too
so put your hand in the hand
I’m the man in control
ready, steady, let’s rock and roll
keep up come on
keep up come on

Get Small

put me out, put me on
humour me lover, roll me up and over
take me to the cleaners
wake me up, shake me down
I’m true - are you?
I need a cohort I can report to
show me love, stand and deliver
I wanna be your primary caregiver
the lazy days are long
and hard on a bloke with a broken spirit
the boozy fog is burning off
either I can’t hear you or I’ve heard enough
no deadline, no order to fill
it’s murder on a bloke with a broken will
the hair of the dog is going down easy (going down)
inner peace, outer shell
the lovesick blues are alive and well
head me off at the pass
hold me up, slow me down
get away, take a break
lay low
get small
stay away
don’t get caught alone out in the mob
the lazy days are long
and hard on a bloke with a broken spirit
the boozy fog is burning off
either I can’t hear you or I’ve heard enough
no deadline, no order to fill
it’s murder on a bloke with a broken will
the hair of the dog is going down easy (going down)

I'm Leavin, I Ain't Lyin

I said I needed time
I said I needed space
tomorrow’s a new day I don’t plan to waste
tell your friends I let you go, tell the press I set you free
I’m leavin, I ain’t lyin, don’t try to find me
I thought you were on the level when I brought you on board
my forever a treasure that’ll never be yours
and in order to spare you any further misery
I’m leavin, I ain’t lyin, don’t try to find me
yeah, I’m leavin, I ain’t lyin
don’t try to find me
to remind me
of the good times we had at the hall
you know, I don’t remember much of anything at all
except breakfast for dinner
and department store art on the wall
hanging plain as day
I saw the light on the night you arrived on the scene
and we ran for a while like a well-oiled machine
yeah, we ran just like a top until we ran right out of steam
I’m leavin, I ain’t lyin, don’t try to find me
yeah, I’m leavin, I ain’t lyin, don’t try to find me

I’m on a bender / she’s on the rebound
I’m off the deep end / she’s going out on the town
I’m on the dole / she’s on the payroll
I’m going crazy / she’s on vacation
I’m stationary / she’s arranging transportation
I’m on the mend / her face is paying dividends
fearless
oh, I was ride or die
when my conscience was clear
and my spirits were high
I’m in the slow lane / she’s on the fast track
I’m getting passed up / she still hasn’t met her match
I’m in a slide / she’s on another joy ride
I’m in a bad way / she’s gettin’ over
I’m gettin’ no play / she’s a well-oiled motor
down in a hell hole / she’s wrapped around the maypole
harness the darkness
it’s ride or die
oh, my cellar is low
but my ceiling is high

Good Clean Energy
02:50
|

|
there’s a Persian rug on a root cellar floor
where the red fern grows in among the juniper
cool as a tombstone
naked in the shade
of a weeping willow in the shadow of a hill
bees in the fireweed, hive in the brambles
honey for your tea and wax for my candles
and life couldn’t be any better at the moment
love is as simple as a song
all we need is some good, clean energy
it’s all we’ve ever wanted all along
you’re all I want from this moment on
it’s a race to the bottom with a cherry on top
[bee-bop-a-loo-bop shooby doo-wop]
gold in the grain bin
cash in the attic
high on rye and coca-cola classic
over the crown land, rifle in my hand
boys of the empire, brothers in a band
and life couldn’t be any better at the moment
love is as simple as a song
all we need is some good, clean energy
it’s all we’ve ever wanted all along
you’re all I want from this moment on
it’s been a slow ascent on a low-rent buzz
stand-up man, secondhand duds
wholesome
colourful
troubadour blue
and genuinely stupid in love with you
I can mend fences, I can tend garden
there’ll be no more whistlin’ dixie, darlin
and life couldn’t be any better at the moment
love is as simple as a song
all we need is some good, clean energy
it’s all we’ve ever wanted all along
you’re all I’ve ever wanted all along
it’s all we’ve ever wanted all along
you’re all I want from this moment on… and on… and on

anxious moments
shit’s been happenin
survey my opponents –
haters, traitors and character assassins
outrage
I am armed and offended
steady on edge, gettin ready to send a message –
I missed my medicine
stress been messin with my head, I reckon
I know this much –
ooh my best’ll never measure up
you were the only one person I could trust
and we were good right up until you stood me up
HIP-HIP-HOORAYs
pep rally
chad and stacy say hey
I see no other way out of this place
please allow me to explain…
you’re innocent…
well, I’m indifferent
you’re movin to a new forever home
I just wanted to get up close
never meant to make it personal, no
I’ll show you what I’m talkin about tomorrow
I’ll show you how far I’m willing to go
I just wanted to get up close
never meant to make it personal, no

Hello Horizon
04:30

over the ocean
ghost ships in flight
under the radar
and the cover of night
over the ocean
my bonnie lies waiting for me
while I’m lost at sea
out in the open
ghost riders roam
home on the range
where the seeds of change grow
out in the open
my oak tree is pining for me
while I’m away in the city
and the odds ain’t so good
it’s a small world gone mad
could this be the end?
we’re bleeding pretty bad
hello horizon
I’m looking to you
grant me a new day
to look forward to
hello horizon
I beg you, be patient with me
hello horizon!

wake up and get stoned
adios and tally-ho!
out into the fog, down to the ruins below
my military mama got her claws around my throat
I’m a little bit-a toe the line, a whole lotta rock the boat
woke up totally stunned
and uncomfortably numb
I just can’t get my mind around the new curriculum
yeah, my words they get me into trouble
‘cause I was never one to hold my tongue
I’m a little bit-a old and wise, a whole lotta young and dumb
[wordless chorus]
off in all directions
the heavy horses pull
try in haste to separate my crossbones from my skull
I said – don’t go waving your little red flag in the face of this ragin’ bull
‘cause I’ll get you off some other time, right now my schedule’s full
in my brave young and handsome days
I had cables of braided steel
take 10 men just to carry in the blade I used to wield
oh, and if I die in battle tonight, bury me beneath my shield
if I break on through I’ll catch up to you just as soon as I seal the deal
[wordless chorus]
