Heart Attack Blues
04:04
|
|||
Take me from this place
Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back
I have made my peace like a heart attack
Like a heart attack
I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh
Trigger’s in the brain and thought's a loaded gun
But I ain’t coming back to this place
Though everything I did, I did it all for you
It was for you
Yeah you
If I lose my way
Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back
If I lose my mind
I’ll be alright, just keeping time
I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh
Smoking cigarettes and thinking I had won
I had one more chance to get it right
Cause everything I did, I did it all for you
It was for you, yeah you
I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh
Trigger’s in the brain and thought's a loaded gun
But I ain’t coming back to this place
Though everything I did, I did it all for you
It was for you
Yeah you

Tell Me True
04:08
|
|||
Tell me something, tell me true
What you really wanna do
Take my mind, leave this world behind
And let’s go travellin’
Devil’s knockin’ on our door
Don’t wanna see his face no more
Run, that’s a fact
Let’s slip out the back
And let’s go travellin
The leaves are fallin’ off them trees
Old man’s shakin’ at the knees
Time has come, ain’t nowhere to run
So let’s go travellin’
There’s a place I’d like to go
Can’t get there by train or boat
Only thing that I ask of you
Is tell me something, tell me true

A Child's Blues
03:26
|
|||
I don’t wanna play with you no more
You stole my truck and cheated on your score
I’m goin to my room and closing up the door
I don’t wanna play with you no more
I don’t wanna play with you today
I can’t believe a single word you say
I thought you were my friend
You fooled me to the end
I don’t wanna play with you today
It’s a beautiful day to play but I can’t stand
To hear you say you wanna cry
It’s the same thing every day so go and
Play with someone else outside
I don’t wanna play with you no more
I heard it all a thousand times before
I thought that we would clique
I saw what makes you tick
So, I don’t wanna play with you no more
It’s a beautiful day to play but I can’t stand
To hear you say you wanna cry
It’s the same thing every day so go and
Play with someone else outside
I don’t wanna play with you no more

Somewhere Man
04:08

You say life’s a drag, can’t catch a break
A pain in the ass, a pill for the ache
Things will get bad and things will get worse
Next thing you know, you’re riding the hearse
I tell you what I’d do if I was in your shoes
I’d walk right out the door and don’t come back no more
& more & more till you can’t see the floor
Jump down, turn around man, but what you doing it for
But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere
Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care
Do you care, if you’re somewhere
You want to get out, but ain’t got the time
Well time’s all you got, so have some of mine
I’ll lend you an ear, sing you a song
Leave you alone or take along
I tell you what I’d do if I was in your shoes
I’d walk right out the door and don’t come back no more
& more & more till you can’t see the floor
Jump down, turn around man, but what you doing it for
But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere
Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care
Do you care, if you’re somewhere
But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere
Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care
And even if you never travel far
It never hurts to know just where you are

Mista Moe
02:53
|

Mista Moe know where to go, sways to and fro
He’s a magic show
Gonna show you things you won’t believe
Then he pulls an ace out his jacket sleeve
Says look here kid, I walked a mile up and down the Nile
And I came back again
There’s one thing you gotta know, don’t say no to Mista Moe
Mista Moe is really slick, shoots from the hip
Gonna flip your wig
Gonna show you things turn your world around
Even if his clothes are inside out
Says look here kid, I rode an elephant on a safari hunt
And I came back again
Only thing you ought to know, just say no to Mista Moe
Moe is feeling fine
As he slips in and out of time
And when your walls come tumbling down
Moe might be around
Mista Moe can hold a tune on a brass bassoon
He wants to jam with you
He’ll Moe you down with some crazy sounds
That he learned in Rome from a garden gnome
Says look here kid, I lit that dynamite
It was outta sight and I came back again
Moe is feeling fine
As he slips in and out of time
And when your walls come tumbling down
Moe might be around

If I had a hammer, I’d build you a house
I’d build you a house babe and you could be my spouse
If I had a dollar, I’d buy us a car
And drive way out west to see the desert stars
And we’d live on the land, lord lord
And we’d make a stand and say that
We are here
If I had a family, I’d work all the day
Bring home the bacon and give you my pay
If I had a son, I would teach him my ways
But only the good ones, if I had a son
And we’d live on the dream, lord lord
That a man can be free to say that
I am here
If I had a forest in a rocky ravine
Don’t cut down my trees man, just let them be
If I had a daughter, she’d play in those trees
Just like her mother, happy & free
And we’d live on the land, lord lord
And we’d make our stand and say
We were here

Too many times, I put my faith into a dream
A dream that turned into a nightmare
Strip away everything that you’ve become
See what’s left when the smoke clears
I met the Alchemist in the dredges of my mind
While he was studying the shadows
I couldn’t tell if they were his thoughts or mine
Perhaps I’ll never know
The Alchemist, he put his dreams into a flask
Composed a symphony of fire
He couldn’t swallow all the things that he did ask
The flames grew out of hand and skyward
You know I would love to set you free
But I can’t take no more tragedy
Take your sorrow and let me be
I’ve got to fly away from here
Fly so far from here

Not So Sweet Lullabye
03:54
|

Sweet lullaby
Driftin’ on down the river
Doesn’t matter what it play
Cause I’m all…I’m already gone
People and their words
Rollin’ on down the river
Doesn’t matter what they say
Cause I’m all…I’m already gone
Paper & ink
Floatin’ on down the river
Doesn’t matter what it say
Cause I’m all…I’m already gone

Roll My Blues Away
03:26
|
|||
I can see that I have fallen
From your grace which was my calling
West wind’s blowin’ hard against me
Flat out road is all that I see
Highway, won’t you roll my blues away
I’ve been knocked out
Drugged and loaded
River’s rolling on before me
I look down at my reflection
Where it’s headed, no direction
River, won’t you roll my blues away
All my life, I’ve been alone
Never have I had a home until you came
Now love’s gone bad, It’s kinda sad
But I guess I am to blame
Cause I’m just untamed
My mind sees you oh so clearly
Never have I longed so dearly
Freight train coming fast & strong
Steady rollin’ on & on
Freight Train, won’t you roll my blues away
River, won’t you roll my blues away
Highway, won’t you roll my blues away

Ms Belle's Dying Day
06:01
|
|||
They say Ms Belle comes from Hell
Way down south by the Mississippi Mouth
She wears an antique dress, her hair’s an awful mess
Thin and pale, beautifully frail
Ooooo Ms Belle
They say Ms Belle is the Devil’s wife
She hides her face from the preacher’s sight
You know she killed her man with a steady hand
On her wedding day, or so they say
Ooooo Ms Belle
So they took Ms Belle to the hanging tree
And strung her up by her neck & feet
And the only thing Ms Belle could say
Was thank you Lord for my dying Day
Ooooo Ms Belle

O Death
03:40

O Death, O Death
Won’t you spare me over to another year
What is this that I can’t see
With ice cold hands taking hold of me
Well I am death no one can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell
O Death, O Death
Won’t you spare me over to another year
Well the children prayed, the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can’t see
This very hour come and go with me
I’m Death I come to take your soul
Leave your body, leave it cold
To draw the flesh up off the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
O Death, O Death
Won’t you spare me over to another year
My mother came to my bed
Placed a cold towel up on my head
My head is warm my feet are cold
Death is moving upon my soul
Oh death how you treating me
You close my eyes so I can't see
Well you hurt my body make cold
You run my life right out of my soul
Oh death please consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hands
The old, young rich or poor
Are all alike to me, you know
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
O Death, O Death
Won’t you spare me over to another year

Oh I feel my heart a poundin’, uh huh
Oh I feel my heart a poundin’, gonna break
