Heard you laugh in the distance But you won't know to laugh or to cry Put a face upon the ghost I run down Believe me I've got a backbone A snake in wait curled up behind So anytime you want to go Let's go You carry on like a bloodhound Smell the air you got smoke on the wind Losing don't look good on you You got me right I'm a dirt road Lead you down through mud and sin Calling you out all over again When's enough enough? Chasing ghosts that never stop Chasing ghosts is all I've got Dealing done I'm up tenfold Cashing out while the lady's smiling back at me With sad eyes still But I reckon sure as you're sleeping A storm will come roaring in to trade Broken glass for your streets of gold When's enough enough? Chasing ghosts that never stop Chasing ghosts is all I've got Catch me if you can Catch me if you can Woo-hoo-hoo all the way home I got a backbone If you wanna dance If you wanna roll Any old time you say go we go go go Now now now

Dirty Water 03:34
Restless on the river Drink my bottle dry Cuss like a devil's cousin And kiss them rats goodbye Cut me off a knotrope Knock it up against the wall Wake you up and call you out And throw you up and down the hall 'Cause I'm skunk and mud Teeth and claws Scratch it till it bleeds You know I say when and I say How much you need And I'm a nightmare Running dumb Crashing through the trees Now run along before you get another dose of me Sleep on a bed of crossties Floss with a bat wing bone Plucking on a concrete banjo And scare your sisters home Drinking that dirty water Howl up in the air Cinderblocks and river rocks And nails to comb my hair 'Cause I'm skunk and mud Teeth and claws Scratch it till it bleeds You know I say when and I say How much you need And I'm a nightmare Running dumb Crashing through the trees Now run along before you get another dose of me

Cowboy 02:49
Deep inside their catacombs The dead know my fear and Reach for my ghost But on the backside of midnight Shadows and silence Cover me close So we lay low till morning comes And run until we're half a world away Listen closely believe me when I say The sun still rises I suffered the most and wound up Close to righteousness and I may Look a little two-faced but it's Just the dark that makes me that way Waiting on the sun to shine a little Light on all I've failed But I never turn a blind eye I never go stale Deep inside our troubled hearts The blood moved so quickly To anger fear and back But wolves in the distance Like lights in the sky Cut through the black We're not so broken you and I Just on the wrong side of the road Weary travelers collapsing underneath Such a heavy load and we Suffered the most but wound up Close to righteousness and we are Better than most at all the Lessons learned the hard way so far And a hundred years from now they'll be Telling our tale how we Never turn a blind eye How we never go stale

My Old Rose 02:56
My old rose awaits My old sad song My old golden days Waiting for silence to come My old blessed home My old city streets My old country roads Begging for changes to come My old rose...say you'll come Say you'll come wash away Say you'll come make anew Say you'll come be my guide Lead me beside oceans blue My old rose...say you'll come Lay my bones in the ground Lay my soul in the sky Lay my heart on the wind Lead me again when I die My old rose...say you'll come

Hard Case 02:44
Life ain't so long Throw a couple punches then you're gone All right All right Chasing after songs We got it bad too bad we got it wrong All right All right Finders keepers yeah but Everything you found they took away Win some and lose some but you Lose 'em all if you never learn to play Pay as you go Say what you think and not what you know All right All right And crawl down some hole Hide the light to say I told you so All right All right But you work it out It takes a little time And you come around and Make up your mind And you let it go So far behind And you get all over Every single little lie
6.
Many Worlds 02:42
So what if there's no use in this If we're all accidents Fractions of some unlikely chance Like water into steam Ill to quarantined Carried all away by happenstance If we're all accidental Like the mixing of the waters Maine to California And all the blood in between Is like drifts in the snow Then I'll rest easy knowing I'm accidentally right where I need to be So many worlds So many worlds And you wind up in mine So much for right and wrong Writing books and songs It's all already happened anyway But if every time I die I can also stay alive Accidents intentions either way If we're all accidental Like the mixing of the waters Maine to California And all the blood in between Is like drifts in the snow Then I'll rest easy knowing I'm accidentally right where I need to be So many worlds So many worlds And you wind up in mine

When I was alone When I was alone Never glad to meet you Every place I go Ever walking slow Trying not to see you But take a little lightning Quicken up your step And you never will forget And you shake a little thunder Ringing in your ears yet Just like when we met And I never knew I'd come in from the cold Then there you were saying ready And I'm ready to roll In the rising sun In the rising sun The fire was all around me In the middle of the night Fell to the floor and Bled when you found me In the middle of the night In the middle of the night And I never knew I'd come in from the cold Now here you are saying ready And I'm ready to roll

Fire Sale 02:12
If I want to get along I will get along Any old way I choose And if I want to leave it alone Leave it all alone With all I've got to lose Tired of messing, tired of guessing This is the answer but what was the question And you never listen, you never listen You be the rules and I'll be the lesson All these silly games we play Fire sale this way Dirty old garden hose Jars full of who knows Shoes out in the rain Make me an offer Everything must go The pristine and the stained Tired of seeing, tired of believing Read all the words and I don't know the meaning And you never listen, you never listen You be the end I'll be the beginning All these crooked lies you say Fire sale this way

Villain 03:48
Tell you about all the rising up Tell you about all the crazy we gonna do Gonna dance you a little Gonna teach you a thing or two Don't sing like a bluebird baby Don't sing like a redbird I sing like a crow Never mean to pain you baby But my heart just black as coal Now I got my bullet on a string In my pocket keep it close Now you've got your villain on a chain Don't ever let me go Look at all the fires we're starting Look at all the world we're knocking down Gonna shake up a little Gonna make 'em feel when we come around Thick as thieves me and you baby Thick like blood in the water running cold Cut and dry like a razor baby Gonna wrap you up gonna take you home Now I got my bullet on a string In my pocket keep it close Now you've got your villain on a chain Don't ever let me go

Waking Up 02:19
Who am I? Everyone you know Every bit as boring As the day is long What am I? Endlessly hungry Eager for answers And always wrong But coursing through my veins An overwhelming sense Asleep at the wheel A sobering thought A rising of winds A change in the sea A drowning out Waking up now Where am I? Lost in a movie Disoriented Gasping for air And how am I? Dark in the shadows Heavy insomnia Messy hair But entering my mind An overwhelming fire An anger at the noise A slap in the face A rising of winds A change in the sea A drowning out Waking up now
