Seasons

summer's almost over
it flew by in the blink of an eye
now i am older and one day closer to dying
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain
springtime was long ago
long forgotten are all the joys it brought me
i try to remember who i was and who i always wanted to be
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain
the leaves are changing color now
winter is surely on the way
times will grow tougher - bones grow brittle with age
and you can't stop time without magical powers
though i have tried and wasted so many hours
i can't seem to find the spell
that guarantees i won't end up in hell
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain

Ain't No Good
03:44

well i saw you looking over at me
and the things that you said made me believe
you might've wanted something to do with me
it turns out i was wrong
and i should have known it all along
'cause i just ain't no good for nobody
and i certainly ain't no good for you
so i'm about to leave town - i won't be coming back
train's pulling out of the station and rolling down the track
it wasn't til i met you i thought i could love again
so i never will forget you but i know i'll never win
it was mick i think who said
you can't always get what you want
well i want you and those words ring ever true
'cause i just ain't no good for nobody
and i certainly ain't no good for you
so i'm about to leave town - i won't be coming back
train's pulling out of the station and rolling down the track
it wasn't til i met you i thought i could love again
so i never will forget you but i know i'll never win

Flying High
03:29
|

|
i've got my head down low with my ear to the ground
i hear a stampede coming for me it is a terrifying sound
i've got to get away - i need to take off fast
where i'm going i won't need roads - i will be free at last
now i'm flying high - i've got my arms stretched out
i am one with the sky - i have become a cloud
i'm really flying now - i've got my arms stretched out
they say that man can't fly - well i'm airborne right now
i was grounded by a poorly guarded lie
now I'm up and I'm never coming down
now i'm flying high - i've got my arms stretched out
i am one with the sky - i have become a cloud
i'm really flying now - i've got my arms stretched out
cover me in pixie dust
take my hand - give me happy thoughts
i'll float up and away from this place
when i'm low it's too hard to fly straight
now i'm flying high - i've got my arms stretched out
i am one with the sky - i have become a cloud
i'm really flying now - i've got my arms stretched out

On The Run
04:46
|

|
i am just an outlaw running from the cops
gotta get to mexico and boy i can't be stopped
i'm on the run and it ain't fun getting sunburn on my thumb
well i killed a man in alabam but i ain't just wanted there
i pissed around in every town - i'm wanted everywhere
i'm on the run and it ain't fun getting sunburn on my thumb
i smoked some reefer - cursed at a preacher
but i tell ya that ain't all
i'm mean and rude and kinda crude - i've broken every law
i'm on the run and it ain't fun getting sunburn on my thumb
i stole a car and held up a bar - i've mugged an old lady or two
and if you hear some creeping while you're sleeping
that's just me robbing you
i'm on the run and it ain't fun getting sunburn on my thumb
well i've gambled down in texas - i've gambled up in maine
but every town i gamble in it turns out the same
i get to drinking and i pull my gun
i ain't afraid to use it so you better run
now the devil he has damned to the firey pits of hell
cause i've done too many sins for one tongue to tell
so listen to me now don't you do what I do
if you travel down this road i'm on you'll be on the run too
i'm on the run and it ain't fun getting sunburn on my thumb

Stuck Down Here
03:45
|
|||
|
the wind's blowing strong off the lake tonight
and the smell of dead fish is stinging my eyes
strange lights above me dance in the sky
and i'm all alone wondering why
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here
there are storm clouds gathering above
and they only light up when i fall in love
when the lightning strikes me it fits like a glove
and amplifies everything i'm thinking of
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here
i live in a dungeon of my own device
and i'm not saying that it ain't kinda nice
when the hour is late, and the moon is high
and i'm all alone wondering why
why am i here? is there anything else out there?
when i look at the stars i just stare
and wonder why i'm stuck down here

Irish Goodbye
02:49
|
|||
|
i've mastered the irish goodbye
when i disappear you won't know why
i'll fade into the shadows and be on my way
i'm not angry or hurt
i just don't want to stay
once i'm gone you won't notice right away
i'll leave without a nod and nothing to say
i'll fade into the shadows and be on my way
i'm not angry or hurt
i just don't want to stay
it looks like you're all doing fine
so i'll just slip away and save you the time
i'll fade into the shadows and be on my way
i'm not angry or hurt
i just don't want to stay

King Of Satisfaction
03:22
|
|||
|
i'm in the backyard chopping some wood
you can start the fire now i thought you understood
but you just don't pay attention
better start looking in the right direction
you know i've got the right intention
i'm the king of satisfaction
i'm on the front porch my nose in a book
you wanna know what turns my page then come and take a look
but you just don't pay attention
better start looking in the right direction
you know i've got the right intention
i'm the king of satisfaction
i'm in the kitchen cooking something good
come along and take a taste - i wish that you would
but you just don't pay attention
better start looking in the right direction
you know i've got the right intention
i'm the king of satisfaction
i'm in the cellar and it's getting mighty cold
i need you to warm up i thought that you've been told
but you just don't pay attention
better start looking in the right direction
you know i've got the right intention
i'm the king of satisfaction

Little Bird

fly little bird far from here
winter is coming and snow is near
before you fly away sing me a song
just a verse or two it won't take long
fly little bird - flap your wings
the whole world shines when that little bird sings
sing me a song of peace and love
as you fly so high in the sky up above
spread your wings - follow the sun
do a good job and sing to everyone
fly little bird - flap your wings
the whole world shines when that little bird sings
fly little bird - let your song always be heard

I Don't Want To Wake Up
03:52
|

|
i don't want to wake up
i'm tired - it's cold - and i'm all out of luck
i hear the telephone ringing - i hear the doorbell dinging
but forever i'll keep on singing - i don't want to wake up
i don't want to wake up
i don't want to move - i've got nothing to lose
i don't want to wake up
i don't want to get dressed
my clothes are all dirty and my hair is a mess
i just bought half an ounce and my bed's as good as the couch
so once again i'll announce - i don't want to wake up
i don't want to wake up
i don't want to move - i've got nothing to lose
i don't want to wake up
i fear for the comfort of my toes
how cold is the floor - the lord only knows
so bring me breakfast in bed
hell come back later bring dinner instead
for nothing more do i dread than having to wake up
i don't want to wake up
i don't want to move - i've got nothing to lose
i don't want to wake up

Dead Man
04:12
|
|||
|
the doctor he said you've got two weeks to live
so i packed up my things and rode on ahead
soon i'll be dead
i packed up my saddle and hit that old trail
it's a long way to heaven - im on the short road to hell
a road I know well
so i ride to the the sunset - i ride there alone
forget about me - i'm almost gone
the dust is getting darker - the sky is turning black
when i get to hell there ain't no turning back
there's no turning back
with my knees on the ground - my hands in the air
save me oh god - will you answer my prayer?
death isn't fair
so i rode to the the sunset - i rode there alone
forget about me - i'm already gone
