1.Factory
The elevator in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The man inside is going to a hotel room
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
He decided he better hike it to the second floor
It's temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently won't do this again
My belongings scattered all across the hotel floor
An hour later I was thinking it over by the snack machine
I thought about you and a candy bar
Now and later now that I've got it stuck between my teeth
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year
A man gets lonely for heaven's sake
He's wondering only what did you do today
The world spin around me to old sad song
Well, it's coming down outside like I've never even seen before
I fell into some kind of sorry state
But looking back now I think it's finally time for me to laugh
about it
And get my things together and find something to say
Well I feel awful, and I believe
That time gets wasted in this misery
And darlin, I would never want to come back home
2.Compliments
I'm fixing a drink in the morning
With the way things are
You may have stayed too long
It's splitting apart at the seam
From the hospital call
You've known him so long
If there's a God up in the air
Someone looking over everyone
At least you've got something to fall back on
Deep in the heart of the country
Was a house I built from logs
A raven and a lady home
A quiet and calm through the day
See the sun burn through fog
Approaching was a yellow dawn
If there's a God up in the air
Someone looking over everyone
At least you've got something to fall back on
And what do people really hope？
Does anybody even care？
I bet you get a lot of compliments down there
If there's a God up in the air
Someone looking over everyone
At least you've got something to fall back on
And do you got something to say？
Is there something coming over you？
Do you got important things still left to do？
3.Laredo
Gonna take a trip to Laredo
Gonna take a dip in the lake
Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself
I don't got no one else
And possibilities at the door
I won't be needing them anymore
Oh, is this the first time in your life
It's hard just to get by
Oh, my love, don't you even know？
Oh, my love, are you really gone？
Can you see the world through a window？
Are you having troubles in droves？
Oh it ain't the worst thing I could do
Is get back home to you
I put a bullet in my Kia Lorenzo
A kitchen knife up to my face
Throw me in the deep of Jammer Lake
Believe me when I say
Oh, my love, you don't even call
Oh, my love, is that you on the phone？
Oh, my love, you don't even know
Oh, my love, are you really gone？
4.Blue Beard
I used to see the night so anxious, but now I know
The only thing it ever taught me was a grand illusion
That comes and goes, the city blanketed of snow
What if we die, no end and no conclusion
How could you smile, just walk away
Well I don't know, I don't know
I met you at the railroad station, now years ago
And something happened on the night I last drank with you in the
neon glow
Now I don't see you anymore
The Midwestern sky is gray and cold
The sun never shines, but that's alright
And I couldn't find the letters that you wrote me
What did you write, where'd you go, well I don't know, no
Take a little time, gonna roll the dice
Taken for a ride, any normal life will do, too
Find another way, try to break the ice
Every day and night, the banana peels were true, true
5.On My Way Back Home
On my way back home
A chance I thought of,
Oh my favorite song
Where I'd gone wrong.
The only words that I could think of
I'm pissing my life away in the form of song
On my way back home.
Every step,
a victory it was.
I was cheating death.
Just in time I woke.
My memories start to wander off
Come to me the remembrance of
On my way back home.
I came in this way.
And here now I'll stay, if the unknown
have to wait one more day
There's often times that it comes out wrong
But luckily I, I got a mind to know.
On my way back home.
6.Infinite Arms
I had a dream
I had a dream
That I was your neighbor
About to give birth
And then everything
Was really hurt
And I was so lonely
I didn't see It's like
Living in a movie
Twisting the plot
My friends and family
The little things I've got, I've got
When my thoughts drift to you
I love the morning
I like to listen
To 4am birdies
Begging to feed
Now there's something here before me
A figure, I think
Isn't there a warning
Or something to drink
My god, my god
When my thoughts drift to you
These mended bones
The storms approach
Ever so slowly
Out on the sea
There's an animal below me
lack of control
Others came before me
Others to come, to come
When my thoughts drift to you
7.Dilly
Just the mentioning of, such a simple phrase.
Are we passengers on separated trains？
Take the mask off, when you speak to me.
And I'm alright to go on, it's the little things.
But anymore, you've become.
A ？？？ to everyone, to everyone.
I'm reeling in the long day getting behind
Why didn't i think 'what in the world？'
It really took a tall one to see it
Two to believe it
Three to just get in the way
All your life to think of, what a mess you made.
Dig a hole in the ground, for your wedding ring.
Rainmaker call, throw your hammer down.
And everything that I know, can't remember now.
Anymore, you've become.
Inherent of another one, another one.
I reeling in the long days, getting behind
Why didn't I think 'what in the world？'
It really took a tall one to see it
Two to believe it.
Three to just get in the way.
I reeling in the long days, getting behind
Why didn't I think 'what in the world？'
It really took a tall one to see it
Two to believe it.
Three to just get in the way.
8.Evening Kitchen
Drive out with the sun in your eyes
You wasted my time
It's true, it's true
My god, don't you hold out your hand
I called off my plans
I counted on you, on you
And if you're ever left with any doubt
What you live with and what you'll do without
I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out
Got lost in the places I've been
I should go out with my friends
I'd go tonight but I know you'll be there too, there too
For me, this bottle of wine
Is to slow down my mind
And forget the things that I knew, I knew
And if you're ever left with any doubt
What you live with and what you'll do without
I'm only sorry that it took so long to figure out
9.Older
Climb the cliff, Tower over all
And falling water, falling waterfall
And after all my plans
They melt into the sand
Yeah you will be there on my mind through all
Don't want to understand why you never get older
It's time to dry off tattered overalls
Impatient waiting, Way to hide a fall
And after all my plans
They melt into the sand
Yeah you will be there on my mind through all
Don't want to understand why you never get older
And after all my plans
They melt into the sand
Yeah you will be there on my mind through all
Don't want to understand why you never get older
After all my plans
They melt into the sand
Yeah you will be there on my mind through all
Don't want to understand why you never get older
And after all my plans
They melt into the sand
Yeah you will be there on my mind through all
Don't want to understand why you never get older
10.For Annabelle
If I want to walk home with you
Hearing every word, thinking it's true
In a barren field for us to cut through
On our victory lap 'cross an old street cat
That turns to stop and see you
A small stone somewhere in your shoe
All day long
All day long
The old folks wake up for the day
Seeing the monsters have lingered from the past
And a great bird is flying away
From our family tree; something wrong with me
I've got a secret or two
Hiding somewhere but
It won't take long
No it won't take long
11.Northwest Apartment
Northwest apartment, apartment
I'm driving over in Oakridge baby with the whole neighbourhood
in tow
Somebody trapped in the underground basement just a few blocks
down the road
Northwest apartment, apartment
With three guitars and one amplifier I'm gonna blow the dust off
this scene
Everybody in population are gonna find out what I mean
Northwest apartment, apartment
When all the parts equal more than the sum
And the sum equals none
This thing was built in a day knowing that the Romans took
longer than that
We brought a bass player a cold old soul and he's a first class
welcome mat
Well cleaned apartment! Apartment
In the morning I walk up I'm ready for the night time to begin
And what's that over there on my pillow someone sleeping in my
bed
Northwest apartment, apartment
When all the parts equal more than the sum
And the sum equals none
Yeah, well
12.Neighbor
The wind blew a path through the fallen leaves
And there showed a crack in the old oak tree
The door stood as if it was standing guard
Of the dozen chipmunks in the backyard
Every house not a home but dare do I roam
There's a light on the porch here for someone
Once upon a time in a border town
The war was over, the guns laid down
The women, the men, the children saved
Now it's hard to remember it any other way
When the law acts as though there is nothing to show
There is compassion and depth in a neighbor
Now if Bartles ＆ Jaymes didn't need no first names
We could live by our own laws in favor
Every house not a home but dare do I roam
There's a light on the porch here for someone
Now if Bartles ＆ Jaymes didn't need no first names
We could live by our own laws in favor
