1.Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas
You woke up in the rusted frame
Burned out old Deville
Your legs are shot and they're flushed with pain
But you can't keep them still
The sun sets and you're afraid
Of the itching in your skin
You stumble down the boulevard
Of neon encrusted temples
You're looking for the grace of God
In the arms of a fellow stranger
Disciples hand you catalogues of concubines
As you stumble down the boulevard crying 'Hosanna'
Welcome to fabulous
Welcome to fabulous
Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins
Las Vegas
Didn't nobody tell you the house will always win？
Cameras on the ceiling tile no place for you to hide
It's a hundred seven and you're looking for shade
That no palm tree can provide
But there's a little girl you remember back in Tennessee
You have this reoccuring dream
Where you see her playing hide and seek
With a woman who used to know you very well
Sunsets and neon lights
Call girls and neon lights
Black jack and lady luck
Cocaine and lady luck
You call upon her on holy knees tonight
In Las Vegas
Give us your dreamers, your harlots and your sins
Las Vegas
Didn't nobody tell you？
Didn't nobody tell you？
Didn't nobody tell you the house will always win？
2.Only The Young
Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest pride
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why？
Where did the bow break？
It happened before your time
And there were people there
Lovely as you'd ever care
Tonight, baby, you can start again
Laughing in the open air
Have yourself another dream
Tonight, baby, we can start again
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Mother, it's cold here
Father, thy will be done
Thunder and lightning are crashing down
They got me on the run
Direct me to the sun
Redemption, keep my covers clean tonight
Baby, we can start again
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
And the sun will shine again
And the sun will shine again
Are you looking for a sign？
Or are you caught up in the lie？
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
Only the young can break away, break away
Lost when the wind blows, on your own
3.Hard Enough
You let me into your life on a whim
And there was magic and fire in the night
In loving I was just a little boy
I made mistakes that caused you so much pain
All I know is that I'm older now
Some people think that it's best to refrain
from the conventions of old-fashioned love
Their hearts are filled with holes and emptiness
They tell themselves that they're too young to settle down
Girl I promise you I'm older now
And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me
I wasn't looking when we built these walls
Let me spread my dreams at your feet
Let's not let time's bitter flood rise
Before my thoughts begin to run
I think I'm getting older now
And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me
Can't stand the thought of another,
talking to you sweet my dear
Where would I be tonight
if you hadn't held me here, in your arms？
And this has been hard enough on you
I know it's been hard enough on me
Been telling myself that I can roll with the changes
And when the water gets high above your head
Darling don't you see,
While this has been hard enough on you
It's been hard enough on me
4.Jilted Lovers ＆ Broken Hearts
Is there anyone out there？
Somewhere I can belong
The city just ain't so kind tonight
I need a place to take refuge
See, I've been loving you blind
I guess I made it hard for me to find
That we were caught up
In the middle of a Worn out dream
I knew we were in trouble
When baby I almost screamed
When I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice？
Show your cards？
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flying away
While I'm stuck here on the ground
Is there anyone out there
Somewhere I can belong
Man, the city just ain't so kind tonight
And if I had my suspicions,
I kept them out of my heart.
Just wish I would have known right from the start
That she'd be speaking in riddles
And you're never coming back
You know I knew we were in trouble
But honey I almost cried
When I saw you dancing
On the moon now
I watched him spin you round and round
Why did you roll your dice？
Show your cards？
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're out on the wind
While I'm still waiting to be found
You did a fine job of hiding
That crooked ace up your sleeve
You doubled down my direction
You kissed me on the cheek and leave
I followed you through the darkness
I followed you through the cold
Woman I can tell you one thing
You're gonna wish you could go back and fold
Why did you roll your dice？
Show your cards？
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're flying away
While I'm stuck here on the ground
Why did you roll your dice？
Show your cards？
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
You're out on the wind
While I'm still waiting to be found
Well I will win
Only time will tell
You gotta suffer to remember how well
Our ideals never really marched in time
That's the bottom line
Jilted lovers and broken hearts
5.Playing With Fire
Daddy, I'm not gonna tell you that I'm sorry,
But there aint nothin you can do to change my mind.
I'm not here to know the things I cannot do,
We've seen the outcome of the Boy's Who Didn't Fly.
That road outside that you've been taking home forever,
That'll be same road that I'll take when I depart.
Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together
May twist ＆ turn but somewhere deep there is a heart.
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on a wire
You know we're playing with fire
I see his calling as the channel of invention,
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
However dangerous the road, however distant,
These things won't compromise the will of the design.
Ten thousand Demons hammer down with every footstep,
Ten thousand Angels rush the wind against my back.
The church of mine may not be recognised by steeple,
That doesn't mean that I will walk without a God.
Rolling river of Truth, can you spare me a sip？
The holy fountain of youth has been reduced to a drip.
I've got this burning belief in Salvation and love
This notion may be naive but when push comes to shove
I will till this ground
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
Oh woah oh woah woah (out on a wire)
I might not get there.
This little town, this little house,
They seem to be leaning in the wrong direction
I'm not afraid of you no more.
Playing with fire
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight
And you're out on a wire
You know we're playing with fire
6.Was It Something I Said
Me and Valentina went down to the chapel
But the gates were shut
I had my vows in my pocket
And a gold-plated ring
For my honey love
We headed down Tropicana
To the corner with the late night restaurant
We sat across from each other
And I looked in her eyes
And there was something gone
Was it something that I said or did？
Was it something that I should have kept hid？
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
I got a job at the Nugget
And I saved a thousand dollars
For a brand new start
She said I didn't want to do it
But I did it 'cause I didn't want to break your heart
The waiter whispered when he said
We had to take the conversation to the parking lot
Please, baby please, Valentina
Baby, you're the only thing I've got
Was it something that I said or did？
Was it something that I should have kept hid？
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina this is not like you
I hear church bells ringing in my head
And I take them everywhere I go
Valentina met a dealer
And I hear they had a baby five months ago
Was it something that I said or did？
Was it something that I should have kept hid？
If you leave me hanging I don't know what I'll do
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
In the clear of the blue moonlight
You got me on my knees
Valentina don't say it's true
This is not like you
7.Magdalena
Please don't tell me I can't make it
It ain't gonna do me any good
And please don't offer me your modern methods
I'm fixing to carve this out of wood
From Nogales to Magdalena
There are 60 miles of sacred road
And the promise is made to those who venture
San Francisco lift your load
In the land of old Sonora
A shallow river valley cries
The summer left her without forgiveness
It's mirrored in her children's eyes
Prodigal sons and wayward daughters
Carry mandas that they might
Be delivered from the debts of darkness
And born again by candlelight
And born again my candlelight
Blisters on my feet, wooden rosary
I felt them in my pocket as I ran
A bullet in the night, a Federales light
San Francisco, do you understand？
Tell them that I've made the journey
And tell them that my heart is true
I'd like his blessing of forgiveness
Before the angels send it through
And I will know that I am clean now
And I will dance and the band will play
And the old (？) cantina
Cause he runneth over the ancient clay
And if I should fall to temptation
Will I return to evil throws
From Nogales to Magdalena
As a two time beggar I will go
Where I know I can be forgiven
The broken heart of Mexico
Oh oh oh oh oh
The broken heart of Mexico
Oh oh oh oh oh
The broken heart of Mexico
8.Crossfire
There's a still in the street outside your window
You're keeping secrets on your pillow
Let me inside, no cause for alarm
I promise tonight not to do no harm
Yeah I promise you babe, I won't do you no harm
And we're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Watching you dress as you turn down the lights
I forget all about the storm outside
Dark clouds roll their way over town
Heartache and pain came a-pouring down
Like hail, sleet and rain, they're handing it out
We're caught up in the crossfire
Of heaven and hell
And we're searching for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
His fiery arrows drew their bead in vein
And when the hardest part is over we'll be here
And our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear
The boundaries of our fear
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Next to mine
9.On The Floor
When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room, I'm unnoticed
When a still comes in through my window
Letting me go
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor
On the floor
Where the rats all come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well I find myself on my knees
Begging please
When the lights go down in the city
And everyone goes to their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland
When the lights go down in the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe
On the floor
Where the mice call shots
In the corner that's where I'll be
When the crickets come home and sing their symphony
Well I find myself on my knees
Begging please
On the floor
Facing the things I've done
Here on the floor
Where the years have gathered and run
That's where I'll be
And I find myself on my knees
Begging please
10.Swallow It
Seek out the light between
Time and confusion glowing up ahead
Instead of slipping through
You bit off more, much more than you could chew
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
We had a lot to learn
Table manners and grace, how to wait your turn when
Time came to clear your slate
You had too much, had too much on your plate
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
Take your medicine and crawl before you walk
Think it through before you open your mouth to talk
Be an advocate of joy
Find your little heart's desire and
Follow it
Whoa baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
Baby you're not ready
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not swallow it
No baby you're not ready, now
Slow down
Don't be afraid, this is your year
It's gonna be alright, you're a performer
Just take your time, but not too much time
11.The Clock Was Tickin'
A teacher had you write a letter, you were eight years old
About the man that you'd become and the positions you'd hold
But this was long before you and Jackie Jaronimo met
In the Prelude Park at midnight
Now when it came to bells and whistles, Jackie did not lack
And when she kissed you on the kisser, boy, you kissed her back
Now you tell her that you love her and she cuts you slack
When you drink with your buddies on the weekend
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
You spend your whole life dropping nickles in the bucket
Waking up at dawn
And while Jackie bestowed the joys of fingerlickin'
That clock up on the wall was a tickin'
You got yourself a job cleaning hospital floors
While Jackie had a baby and she had five more
They pay you just enough to drag your ass to the store
To buy bread, milk and better homes and gardens
Jackie flips the pages and she dreams little dreams
A cottage in the country built with real wood beams
There's a baby in the bedroom, he's starting to scream
She holds him, though he probably won't remember
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
Sometimes dreams are all you've got
To keep you going when the day gets long
And you gave up so many just to make a living
That clock up on the wall was a tickin'
Now the kids were all grateful when they left the nest
And Jackie wasn't perfect but she did her best
She sees the opportunity to get you some rest
But you can't sleep on the account of screaming grandkids
The golden years are meant to leave a gleam in your eye
You're starting to discover it's a great big lie
They work you like a dog until you quit or you die
But you can't quit because Jackie needs the benefits
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
They say patience is a virtue
But the doctor says she don't have long
You stood up and tried your damndest not to listen
But that clock up on the wall was a tickin'
When they told you to clear the room, that's when it hit you
You watched as a caravan took your sweetheart away
The arguments and the fights and money troubles seem so
worthless as
As the kids throw yellow roses on her grave
And the weeks fly by and the years roll on
The house is quiet now and everything inside it seems to know
she's gone
There's a picture of you both, sixteen years old, just kissing
And that clock up on the wall was a tickin'
You always thought she had a chance
That there was somewhere she hid
And now you've come to the conclusion that she never did
Have a chance, that is
12.Jacksonville
Slow down your mind
Fill the unknown spaces with truth and lie
If you can find the time
And time seems so slow
Now we're stuck here asking 'where did it go？'
And what are we here for？
There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
Summer time, so sweet
The luxuries of childhood were on our feet
In the sun sun sun
So, baby, run run run
Baby, run run run
Baby, run run run
Games will be portrayed
There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
Up into Jacksonville
Up into monorail
I felt some others love
I'd seen the colours change
I cried a million tears
I caused a million more
Up into Jacksonville
There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
13.I Came Here To Get Over You
I came here thinking I could ease the pain
I came inspite of other's good advice
I came here thinking sweet, sweet revenge
Bring me some sugar, let the games begin
I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I'm breaking through
I came here to get over you
I had this dream about a wild bird
Black feathered, picking at your beating heart
You reach for me and shout 'I need your love!'
Your tomb collapses when I call your bluff
Picking at your heart strings, I need your love
I started shaking when you told me
That you'd found somebody new
I came here to get over you
And the lights are burning like kerosene
I can't stop thinking about you and me
Did you cross your fingers when you told me you'd be true？
I came here to get
I came here to get
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I came here to get over you
I made a lot of bad decisions
But tonight I'm breaking through
14.Right Behind You
Asked by the door to get to heaven
Seven trumpets big and bright
You hear it coming in the middle of the night
A caution to the children
Time to turn your crimson white
We've all got reservations
Trials will come suddenly
And without explanation
But you were born with goodness
You were born with goodness wherever you go
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
And if you get blind, well that's alright
Wicked winds blow with grace and might
Cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
Break your word over me
Sinking in the quicksand
Break your word, but don't you see
You're breaking me down now？
I'm right behind you in the light of hope
I'll be beside you on that dusty road
When no one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
No one expects you to deny
And no one accepts your reasons why
You cling to the ways of my name
When you touch the stone
15.On the Floor 2.0 (Bonus Track)
When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room, I'm unnoticed
When a still comes in through my window
Letting me go
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor
On the floor
Where the rats all come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well I find myself on my knees
Begging please
When the lights go down in the city
And everyone goes to their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland
When the lights go down in the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe
On the floor
Where the mice call shots
In the corner that's where I'll be
When the crickets come home and sing their symphony
Well I find myself on my knees
Begging please
On the floor
Facing the things I've done
Here on the floor
Where the years have gathered and run
That's where I'll be
And I find myself on my knees
Begging please
