1.Green Into Gold
I am a cutting tool
I am a killing fool
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And i will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I am a burning ash
I am burning for cash
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And i will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I'll rip her from the sky
There'll be no more timber line
We are
Turning green into gold
We are
Ripping roots from the soil
I am the wall of pain
And i will damn the rain
And one day you, you're gonna be mine
I am a dirt machine
And i will wipe clean
This jungle vine
I'll rip her from the sky
2.Spaceship
When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin
And a bubble on your head
A spaceship landed by the mall
There was a big parade
Everybody got laid
And they burned all the books and the chevrolets
They grow so fast they never crawl
If you get tired of satellite flyers
And fame has let you down
Under the wire and over the moon
I'm around
When you gonna grow up
Momma always said
But i just wanna walk around with a dollar bill
And a coat that never sheds
A spaceship landed on the water
It was a holiday
For the underpaid
Everybody got a haircut and lemonade
And they smiled just like it was their father
Play me a groove one for my radio one for my love
That came and went
So many stories, hey man i'm sorry.
Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent
...when you gonna grow up
3.Hush
She got it all
The boys they would crawl
Away from her door then they come back again
But don't let 'em in
Smoking their gin
Leaving their best foot out in the cold
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
You know that i
You know i'll never say goodbye
She smiles for me
It don't mean a thing
It don't take away the way it was before
I'm foolish and grown
I should've known
Her's was a world made for just one throne
I'm a waste of a momma's boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love you come to destroy
How many days can you waste it boy
It's a shame they say
There's so much you know he'll never enjoy
All the love we come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time
When she says hush
I'm on your side
It's just the two of us
Though they might try
4.Cry
If i had just one tear running down your cheek
Maybe i could cope maybe i'd get some sleep
If i had just one moment at your expense
Maybe all my misery would be well spent
Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave now i'm wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
If your love could be caged, honey. i would hold the key
And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me
And you'd hunt and those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
And that'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine
And you'd cry a little
You'd die just a little
And baby i would feel just a little less pain
I gave now from wanting
Something in return
So cry just a little for me
Give it up baby
A whimper would be fine
Some kind of clue that
You're doing time
Some kind of heartache
Honey give it a try
I don't want pity
I just want what is mine
5.Third Time Around
He came from ohio
Married the first girl again
And somewhere in reno
In his el camino he never did see her again
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close
To the swinging door
One time's a shame
Two times and you're to blame
And you lose your precious crown
The third time around
This ain't no freeway
You pay for it someday - i guess
He came from ohio
Another day another stain on your map of regret
No world can look like it did before
But this one comes pretty close to the swinging door
And you get no sleep and you're overdue
The faithful creep when they're leaving you
And you wonder why
One time's a shame
Two time and it looks like rain
And they say your luck is found
The third time around
6.Free Man
Hey wouldn't you wanna know
Everywhere that river flows to right now
I can show you how
'cause someday you might wanna go
Someday you got nothing to show
For all your pain
For all your chains
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know
How if feels to live
Like a free man
To give
When there's nothing in your hand
Run like only the river can
Like a free man
You've only so many roads to choose
Sooner or later the ones you use
They all look the same
Someday you might feel the need
Someday when you're tired of bleeding
For someone else
You're gonna want it for yourself
I ain't saying it's the only way
But wouldn't you like to know
7.Gravity
I saw a wreck at a light
Two cars that gave up the fight
Nobody left to be saved
No steam left under the gauge
And in that carnival light
The show began to unwind
And i saw just how it goes
Out on that old two-lane road
I been saving time for another life
Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when
When...
The gravity
Of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing down with sovereignty
In someone else's tragedy
I saw the old man again
He only talks about when
There was so much to believe
Before the cancer to be
He can't remember the song
The words they all come out wrong
And all his records are cracked
He knows you can't get it back
It's only faded time
Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when
When...
The gravity
Of whether you were meant for me
Came crashing like a symphony
In someone else's used to be
And we carried our cross like a clover
And we smoked cigarettes and we lied
About the things we would feel when we're older
Oh god what a fine waste of time
And i miss you are you coming over
8.Beautiful
Suzie burned for the admiration
And the cocaine urn social confirmation
On the water bed
Staring at the ceiling while her halo bled
Kissing all the reason goodbye
My you look beautiful
It's a crime to be usual
Small town creep puts her on a table
With the fizz gin drink
Staring at her navel all the walls are pink
Baby's in the cradle, rocking one two three
No street time, pimp wine, hotel trash
No ballerina dancing on the broken glass
Who's gonna be the one when the day is through
You're nobody's daughter when it's time to choose
She's on her way down to sarasota
With the cash she laid underneath the motor
It's a sunny day pleased to meet you mister
I'm a brand new face love is just a blister away
My you look beautiful
But your love is a funeral
9.Memphis City Rain
I am a song
I been here all along
I'll be here when the hatred's gone
Hey can you recognize me
I am the light of the sun
And if you come with me
And if you let it be (on my way back home)
And sing my melody
Then it don't have to wash away
In a memphis city rain
For the world a long time awaiting
For the hatred now to be fading
For the love to give
I am a song
But i'm not the one
They use to march their guns
And every child knows me
I am the light of the son
10.Swell
Only virginia so very kind
All of her anyway that you desire
Only virginia so crucified
And all of her dying keeps her alive
And swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well
The girl with her soul on a shelf
Only virginia knows how to bleed
All of her giving never comes free
Only virginia so desperately
Wanting the whole world watching her misery
Swell
Made up for everyone else
Happy and horribly well
Hello misunderstood so go the lonely
Tracing your ashes to wood
So go the lonely
And you are the only
11.It's Alright
Maybe i'm a baby with a mouth to feed
Maybe i'm a cancer waiting to eat
Maybe i'm a razor on a wrist to bleed
Maybe only water or a bucket of kerosene
It's alright
We are landing this ship soon
It's alright
No more trips around the moon
Momma does the dishes in her wedding ring
Daddy never wishes now for anything
Sister on the corner like a boy's wet dream
All little bit of hell in a bucket of velveteen
12.Wonderland
Take a piece of the sky
Make it rain cherry wine
Give her love give her life
Give her mine
She's a child young and willing
In a world that's unforgiving
That in time takes all the living
From your soul
I stand in the night with a silver sword
Killing her demons beating em off her door
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn-out lullaby
And i live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute
In wonderland
She can run free forever
Still our blood runs us together
I'll be there if she runs home
For worse or better
I know you like adam knew eve
Every tear you cry is a tear that i will bleed
Sleep baby don't you cry
Daddy's got a worn-out lullaby
And i live forever dark and damned
To see you spend one minute
In wonderland
13.The American(Hidden Track)
Sonny took a train
Mary took a boat
Somewhere it's gonna be better
Everybody needs a little hope
Ten thousand souls
Waiting on a bus and it never rolled
So it goes...
No one's leaving california
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
I am the american
I got a walking stick
And an old sock hat
I've got dirty hands
And i've got a dream to match
I've got a pocket full
Of government issue cures for poverty
No one's leaving california
Pacific transit overload
All my friends live on the corner
And my guitar strums
I am the american
Under the streetlight, down by the water
Don't worry baby, it's nothing you ever knew
(if it) makes you feel better, throw down a quarter
Don't worry baby, it won't stick to your shoes
No one's leaving california
Pacific transit overload
Gold dust dreamers never warn ya
And my guitar strums
Yeah my guitar strums
I am the american
