Don't turn your back on me, Jill
I never wanted to die on that hill
I'll give you the pieces of my life until
You come home and back to me, Jill
Don't turn your back on me, Jill
Lord knows I'm tryin' and I've had my fill
I can't understand it but I'm waiting here still
So come home and back to me Jill

Runaround
03:17
|
|

If I get the runaround
Won't be first time that I'm feelin down
Call me
when you get the time
am I really on your mind
Do you ever look into a crystal prism by yourself
and see what is the answer now
When I finally hit the ground
Last time that I'll be in town
If we
get to being cool
can we hang out after school
and finish working on our letter to art university
or will I get the runaround

Lately
02:14
|
|
||
Lately all the best places are gone
And I wish I could bring you along
But sometimes I'm right, mostly I'm wrong
Maybe that's why I've been so withdrawn
I can't imagine
the hard and cold world
is weighing on heaven
for angels cursed and finally returned
Cause lately, my thoughts are on demons
Wanderin' out there and causing you pain
I know that you'll miss me, but I'm leavin'
And I'm givin' the dry earth some rain

With You
02:46
|
|
||
Last night I couldn't see shit from the floor
Or tell what anyone was thinkin'
I couldn't even make my way to the door
I only cared if I was drinkin' with you
Just when I thought I couldn't take any more
more was just you were wishin'
I took ya out and then you evened the score
I'm losing track of all the kissn' with you, all of you
Last night ya told me that you wanna explore
How was I supposed to take it
Pick me up outside the liquor store
How much longer 'till I make it with you
Don't wanna think about the morning before
we've had our chance to make or break it
The way you're movin' makes you hard to ignore
There ain't no way that I can fake it with you
baby, you
all of you
I'm into you

The Garden
03:13
|
|
||
Go to the garden, the garden of man
Eat from the table
Drink of the wine
Look on the pleasures of earthly delights
I cannot tell you
the lesson to learn
go, go, never return
Go to the garden, the garden of time
See how the sunrise
goes back down to fire
Weathers the keystone of mankind's desire
I cannot tell you
the lesson to learn
go, go, never return

Twice Supine
03:23
|
|
||
Hard coming down
and the sound
growin around you
Shake, rattle and roll
feel the ground
caving beneath you
Sun on your face
take your place
Head at the table
Great silver chain
Won't explain
how you were able
Long tall in sunglasses
Twice Supine
It's all the same
Hightailin' tall grasses
Overpasses
transport train
Who told ya so
Growin old
Never intrigued you
Feel in your soul
take control
back on the road for you
You played the game
money and fame
never a fortune
Pray that you make
a little mistake
under a full moon
Long tall in sunglasses
Twice Supine
It's all the same
Hightailin' tall grasses
Overpasses
transport train

Clonbonny Bells
02:44
|
|
||
Clonbonny bells are sounding off today
And all the children sing and laugh along, they're out to play
The River Shannon bounds the west away
It overtakes the bow it's like a rolling river stone out on the bay
Clonbonny bells are sounding off again
When we were girls we liked to paint our face
On Sunday morning we would wake under sunny days
And the friar cast a guilty gaze
And then I knew that I would lose you to the only one that plays a game
Clonbonny Bells sounding off today

Love Is A Power
02:32
|
|
||
I believe nothing is written in stone
I can love everything skin to the bone
You and me sitting right next to the fire
Head on my shoulder
I believe left hand holds the key
All I have but nothing can set you free
When yr gone everything feels like a fire
Head under water
I believe love is where you are
if you want it bad enough
I can see you out there counting stars
oh tell me what do you believe
I believe hope is pinned to the sky
in the clouds, truth can come from a lie
Bring it down, throw it right into the fire
love is a power
