Already Gone

Just what is it ‘bout the need to throw your life away
Must be something written deep inside you DNA
I turned around before I heard the words you tried to say
Something funny like I do not need to walk away
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Got into my car, the clock was showing one one one
Turned up the radio and headed for the sun sun sun
I started to recall the words that you had tried to say
Something funny like I do not need to run away
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Write the numbers on my skin
Write the words behind my eyes
Head the message from within
Write the words across the sky
Just what is it ‘bout the need to throw your life away
Must be something written deep inside you DNA
I turned around before I heard the words you tried to say
Something funny like I do not need to walk away
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Write the numbers on my skin
Write the words behind my eyes
Head the message from within
Write the words across the sky
Write the numbers on my skin
Write the words behind my eyes
Do not suffer for your sins
Do not settle for your lies
Oh Mama, I’m already gone
Oh Mama, I’m already gone

I want to live
For the waking of the day
‘cause it’s a beautiful day
And I’m free now, I’m free right now
No more broken wings
I’ll be heading for the trees
On a beautiful breeze
‘cause I’m free now, free right
Free now, I’m free right now
It’s all too much for me
I’m going to let it go
I’ll find a different dream
A different way to let love show
Onward through the flames
Of the temples burning down
To be never the same
But we’re free now, free right
Free now, we’re free right now
It’s all too much for me
I’m going to let it go
I’ll find a different dream
A different way to let love show (x 2)
‘cause I’m free now, free right
Free now, I’m free right now
It’s all too much for me
I’m going to let it go
I’ll find a different dream
A different way to let love show (x 2)
I want to live
For the waking of the day
‘cause it’s a beautiful day
And I’m free now, I’m free right now

Raise the flags and light them fires on the hills.
Looks like it’s hanging time again
Salute your chosen god; he’s flying to the sun.
The blood will rain on everyone
Ah-ah..
And the waters they will rise.
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more
Behind the walls, the golden future of your dreams.
Oh how that golden city gleams
Salute your chosen god; he’s lying on the beach. Y
our chosen gods are out of reach
Ah-ah
And the waters they will rise.
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more
And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve sailed this dirty sea.
Your dirty dreams are coming true
And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
Oh how we wait with open arms
(Bridge section)
Ah-ah etc..
And when the ship comes in, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve sailed this dirty sea.
Your dirty dreams are coming true And when the walls come down, we’ll be waiting there for you
You’ve made this dirty dream. Your dirty dreams are coming true
Ah-ah-ah x 2
Oh how we wait with open arms
Raise the flags and light them fires on the hills.
Looks like it’s hanging time again
Salute your chosen god; he’s flying to the sun.
The blood will rain on everyone
Ah-ah..
And the waters they will rise
Our final words projected through a hole in the sky
And we will gather on the shore
Our gods they cannot rule this monkey kingdom no more

Last drinks of the season
Getting away with it isn’t a reason
In the dark at the fueling station
Invisible messiah on trial for treason
Last taste of the broken horizon
Getting away with it isn’t a prize I want
In the dark, in the park alone
Like a lost dog chasing an invisible bone
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come
Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm
Last day at the races
The last ticket holders have taken their places
Waiting at the gate with your straight laced date
Picking up the pieces of your last disgraces
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come
Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be be that man no more (x 2)
Can’t get this writing off the wall
Don’t want to be that kind of man no more
It seems at last the rains have come
Gonna take my little boat out to the eye of the storm (x 2)

Don’t burn your bridge back home
You’ll be back before too long
It feels like letting go.
It feels like rolling in the snow
But I’ll see you when I’m coming round the bend
I’ll see you when I’m coming home again
I have to bite my tongue
Just not to scream at everyone
It feels like holding on.
When you know that everything is wrong
But you’ll see me when I’m coming round the bend
You’ll see me when I’m coming down again
I’m far away, I’m far away now
Down in the valley from whence I came
I’m far away, I’m far away but
Damn it I know you feel the same
Don’t paint your signs back home
To hide directions they have shown
It seems the lights are down.
And we’re tired from all our running round
But I’ll see you when you’re coming round the bend
I’ll see you when you’re coming down again
I’m far away, I’m far away now
Down in the valley from whence
I came I’m far away, I’m far away but
Damn it I know you feel the same
I’m far away, I’m far away now
Down in the belly from whence I came
I’m far away, I’m far away
But I’m coming home again

Lonely Boney Bridge

Seven hours from the break of day
All my little animals are coming out to play
The waves break silent on my shore
I don’t answer to their questions anymore
They talk to me but I don’t answer anymore
We sit here waiting for the dead
Silhouettes behind a screen of watercolour red
Everybody’s got to have a name
But I don’t answer to the politics of shame
I won’t answer to the politics of shame
Ahhhh..
I’m tired of all these games
Ohhhh...
I’m leaving and I’m bound to change my name
Them demon dogs are on my trail
For every one I feed I let another out of jail
Howling ‘cross the valley from the ridge
And all the bones I throw, they slowly build a lonely bridge
Them demon dogs are coming
They’re coming for me
Ahhhh..
They’re howling from the ridge
Ohhhh...
Them lonely bones will surely build a bridge (x 2)
Seven miles till I reach my prey
The lonely bridge completed on the seventh day
See me silhouetted on the ridge
Fear me ‘cause I’m coming for you ‘cross that lonely bridge
This demon dog is coming
I’m coming for you
Ahhhh..
I’m howling from the ridge
Ohhhh...
Them lonely bones will surely build a bridge (x 2)

Crooked Second Story

Above the city streets
This crooked second story creaks
Been locked up here for days
These crooked creatures make it feel like weeks
The rooftop garden blooms outside my lonely living room
Inside the music plays
This crooked chorus always comes so soon
Didn’t even know what I was singing about until I got here
Didn’t even know what I was living without
Until I got cut open and I figured it out
Beside the painted lake
I search the house for mum and dad and wait
You left me with this child
You left me all alone out in the wild
Didn’t even know what I was talking about until I got here
Didn’t even know what I was living without
Until you cut me open and I figured it out
Didn’t even know what I was singing about until I got here
Didn’t even know what I was living without
Until I got cut open and I figured it out
Didn’t even know what I was talking about until I got here
Didn’t even know what I was living without
Until you cut me open and I figured it out

I was only waiting for a chance to talk to you
I was only waiting for a chance to talk to you
I had a story that I wanted to tell
I little secret that I needed to share with you
With you
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
To get my message through
You were on the outside of a world you never knew
I was only waiting for a chance to pull you through
I had a secret that I wanted to tell
It wasn’t pretty that I needed to share with you
With you
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
To get my message through (x 2)
Ah- ah- ah....
I’m gonna break my legs just to walk this earth
I’m gonna sell my soul just to prove my worth
I’m gonna sink this ship just to get across
I’m gonna bury this treasure just to cut my loss
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
Don’t want to wait until the days are gone
To get this message through

A Message
03:33

I thought that I had nothing left to say
But something’s surely coming through me
Like something heavy moving out the way
Like a whisper from somebody who once knew me
A message to my little bro
It’s not your fault, you didn’t know
And though you wear this endless hurt
It’s alright for you to let it go
I thought that I might die on this cold road
But something keeps on singing in my mind
And keeps me swinging punches, wild and blind
Delivering these weary rhymes
A message to my little sis
It’s not your fault; you shouldn’t have to feel like this You shouldn’t have to face it on your own
The bullshit pain of being fully-grown
Sometimes I’m drowning in a sea
Of incompleted memories
Distorting all my melodies
Delivering some words like these
A message to my brother man
I can see you, wasted and alone
I don’t know what was going through your mind
Oh I wish somebody would have known
A message to your lonesome lady
Tell me what I should have said to her
‘cause she was wild and mean and bat-shit crazy
But still I know she was your girl
Sometimes I’m drowning in a sea
Of incompleted memories
Distorting all my melodies
Delivering some words like these

Moving Target

Rolling down the road today
I’ve got a bad dream in my mind
I think I’ve got a role to play
But it feels like doing time
All the passing tourists stare,
you'd almost think that people care
I'm trying to find some kindness but there aint nobody there
Please believe me when I say that I'm alright
I've touched the hand of madness but I'm glad to be alive
Please deliver me from voices in the night
That plead with me to hold the shield that blinds my loving sight
Thinking bout the times we've had, I feel no sense of shame
I know I've got a roll to play but there aint no one to blame
All the passing tourists stop, they take a shot and say thanks a lot
But I'm a moving target, you can't put me in you're frame
Please believe me when I say I'm not alright
I know it might seem lame to some
but sometimes I feel I'm giving up the fight
Please release me from these creatures in my mind
That plead with me to hold the shield
that leaves me deaf and blind
Oh when planted the seed which poisoned the field
Oh how making believe 'came suddenly real
You were helping me feel so entertained
But I lost the key hidden in my brain
Oh when planted the seed which poisoned the field
Oh how making believe 'came suddenly real
You were helping me learn how to ease the pain
But I lost the key key key..
Please believe me when I say that I'm alright
I've touched the hand of madness but I'm glad to be alive
Please deliver me from voices in the night
That plead with me to hold the shield
that blinds my loving sight
