Preacher 04:26
Take a walk a while with me Through the midnight city streets Tell me of the ghosts you're convinced that you see Watch the boats fighting up stream Electric power fossil fuel or engines run by steam Marvel at the industry But the night is deep And your preacher is fast asleep Take a first stroll through the famous crimson sands Explode the bombs in both your hands As drifters and hyenas wait with open fangs Thirsty for the blood that's in your veins And you look at me like I am a thief You should check your pockets, your preacher's still asleep This river's over flowin' going to spill the banks Rising up to the Empire State Aint no earthly power, aint no divine right Can wake your preacher tonight But the dawn has broke And I just got word your preacher's awoke Well that glass you stare at might one day be clear Might get word from your seer But I know what it is exactly that you've done Just like I seen where you're from So sit down now and take up that golden gilded pen Write your four horsemen it's the end

Ground 02:57
A skeleton wavering in the wind She's on her way To bury the ace in the hole She wears a gown embroidered with moss From the ground She withers and waits for the sound Come to me as an outlaw in a dream Carve your word on the wall I'll take you out, I'll light you up, I'll burn you down To the ground Revolver clenched, he trembles on the edge And takes his aim She's bound to return once again Once she was flushed, enchanted by his touch But she got crushed And cried, never again Come to me as an outlaw in a dream Carve your word on the wall I'll take you out, I'll light you up, I'll burn you down To the ground What is this vision in the mirror Whose gaze is burning up the air Whose voice is coarsing through my throat When will I wake without a choke Where does the blood run in the end In words that I cannot defend And where does all this dream shit go How could I ever know How could I ever know Come to me as an outlaw in a dream Carve your word on the wall I'll take you out, I'll light you up, I'll burn you down To the ground

Train 03:15
A steady breeze Moonlight flickers through the trees You're moving fast Forgot your future you forgot your past Now the stars are best Across a trestle heading west See mountains soon If you ever get out of this room You been here far too long Singing all the same songs Time, like water, runs dry This train has stopped And you must get off This train has stopped And you must get off Think you're growing old But you are younger than you know It's changing quick What you've got is all you get You're a ticking clock A mayfly hatched on the pond You move through space For a single day and then you are erased Wander to the yard Crawl inside a boxcar Time, like water, runs dry This train has stopped And you must get off This train has stopped And you must get off Can you see the light you must follow home? Memories Lie like politicians on the screen Plead for your time While they're changing their disguise They'll rob you blind The past is not so well defined It's your design You got your story and I got mine What became of all these years We've only just arrived here Time, like water, runs dry This train has stopped And you must get off This train has stopped And you must get off

Temple 04:14
That contortionist you consort with Been spilling your secrets all night long He'd arch his back and unfold his list As your words rolled down his arm Oh Hear the station house alarm Oh What's best of Gallatin is gone Rearrange the cosmos as you please Unbuckle Orion's belt Change my face to suit your needs I'm beaten but at least I never knelt Oh Your remedies don't help Oh Save your rage just play the hand you're dealt And let the blood begin to boil Take the strike and then recoil Born of blood and baptized in oil There's no reward for all this toil Oh Your remedies don't help Oh Save your rage just play the hand you're dealt Hear the alarm clock whine In the early morning light Saying there's just one way through time No matter how hard you fight Oh It seems I used up all my might Oh Its dawn and I still don't know what's right Oh It seems I used up all my might Oh It's dawn and I still don't know what's right It's dawn and I still don't know what's right

All Along 04:45
A cumulus A goodbye kiss Free Coca-Cola and I'm gone A window seat No plans, no friends to meet Just the moon and me When I land Won't hold no hand I'll be gone Won't hold no hand I'll be gone All along I been gone A diamond ring At the bottom of the drawer Never seen nor worn Just a souvenir I been singing to the wall Tarring feathers to the posters I don't feel no holy ghost here I could use some gasoline I won't be seen I'll be gone I won't be seen I'll be gone All along I been gone I'll take that diamond ring To a pawnshop in the rain I'll get five hundred dollars to spend I could tell the sun Rising on the highway The twisted tale of my day Or maybe just a joke I could buy a rowboat Write some notes Put on a winter coat And sail away Won't be afraid Won't be afraid Won't be afraid I'll be gone Won't be afraid I'll be gone All along I been gone All along I been gone

Drugs 03:27
Fill my mouth with sticks and stones My words can finally break your bones Make my way to where the freight trains moan And them railroad bosses still pace alone Fill your lungs with that filthy meth Sell your last summer dress Come back home with your hair a mess And stoop to kiss your king's noble crest I pick up my telephone Just to hear my dial tone And make sure I'm really alone 'Cause it soothes me And it soothes me completely Make my way to where conscience is tacit And fill my blood up with life and with movement Fall face first on the cold cool pavement There is no place left for a man to be decent Weigh my eyes down with your Oxycodone It's 12 o'clock noon and the mists are not gone The captain's man signals land with his gong Evening has come with no sign of the sun I pick up my telephone Just to hear my dial tone And make sure I'm really alone 'Cause it soothes me And it soothes me completely Deep in the crowd you can hear 'em murmur Of a cruel unending terrible fever Christ was not as good as you heard He took a whore and married her Well the land rolls over to meet the sky And she folds over backwards to fit my eye Slamming my head on the kitchen floor I'm just trying to even the score Trying to even the score

Linda 03:47
I got some mid-shelf scotch In my backpack Passing the bottle around out back Just do me a kindness, before you go Be a doll Linda, lock the door Linda lock the door (Oooh Sweet Candy) Linda lock the door (Oooh Sweet Candy) Linda lock the door Lock the door It's time to let your lovin' pour Cracking beers after midnight Drinking bourbon in my mind I love this bar, but it ain't where I'm gonna die Linda lock the door one more time Linda lock the door (Ooh Sweet Candy) Linda lock the door (Ooh Sweet Candy) Linda lock the door Lock the door It's time to let your lovin' pour

Hounds 03:46
Poltergeist Paralysis Hubris of Odysseus That's enough call home your hounds Make my bed With the lonesome dead Recall all's been said No time to make amends That's enough call home your hounds Mary time has been so cruel Must you pursue me too? Rest my head down at your door Don't loose them hounds on me no more Silver chain Your mother's name A burning flame And a flying crane That's enough call home your hounds Robin sings Of Neptune's rings Where the willow leans And the Judge's heart is mean Mary time has been so cruel Must you pursue me too? Rest my head down at your door Don't loose them hounds on me no more Whiskey spins Retching gin Cold pale skin And dissection begin Dream of a car crash Petty cash One last easy gasp And time is elapsed Mary time has been so cruel Must you pursue me too? Please, Please don't block my way can we have some kind of parlay? Fuck you Fuck you pay me Fuck you Fuck you pay me

Atmosphere 02:21
What's the color of your atmosphere Tell me the sounds you hear when you awake Telephone can't conquer miles That's why I never dialed I know I'll find you in between In spite of the geography And my bad memory I'll meet you in between Take a lesson from the depths of space I crave some warm embrace but I stay still Hang up the phone and you're back on your own Sometimes it's worse to know, but that's just how it goes I know I'll find you in between In spite of the geography And my bad memory I'll meet you in between Every day and every night I close my eyes and I see you sitting there in a blue rocker chair You said, "Honey, your dreams are my car keys— I'd never forget 'em" Telephone can't conquer miles That's why I never dialed

Pat's Song 03:04
Take my hand Let it go Pick me up Take me down I say it's night we better go You say it's dark so we can glow If I could take myself apart I'd lend my lungs I'd lend my heart That seems a good place to start But the operating room is dark Start the engine Make it stop Get me out Take me home Twisting my fingers into knots Crying backwards in Rorschachs You said I'm better off on my toes And how this ends no one knows When the news from the north came to chill my bones I went shaking chains in the catacombs I'm afraid to speak your name out loud Like I told death where you'd be found But I miss that long lonesome sound Pressing my ear to the ground Pressing my ear to the ground Pressing my ear to the ground Pressing my ear to the ground
11.
These dreams at night got me screamin' At everyone I love I'm hopin' and I'm eager With my teeth all tangled up I don't mind what they're saying But I just can't go on living this a-way My biographer is dead And my life has finally began No one has to know my name I can come and go and leave all the same Silver trees Or is that snow perched upon the leaves?

Home 04:27
Copper head Come to bed It's too late to dream Twisted perch No more writhe and lurch Hold your pose out on the beam I want my home I want my home Palisade Twisted leg All my dancin' is done Sell your night stand To a one eyed man Wake me for the afternoon sun I want my home I want my home And the Great Lakes are... I can feel their weight from this far I want my home I want my home Tie your ghost To an old fence post Give him a blanket to lie Everyone I know Is on Saint Peter's row I'll be a senator after I die I want my home I want my home I want my home I want my home I want my home I want my home
