1. Call Me by My Real Name
I-I, Hold-Hold
Weathered by the storm
And you-you, won't feel-won't feel
You're wasted by the one
And now-and now, you know-you know
Your money's running low
Your last cigarette has got you
Choking on the bone
Down-Down, cold-cold
Hungry from the road
I need-I need
My better days
My whiskey cup is broke
So leave me alone
While my head is hummin' cold
I lost my mind on borrowed time
I can't find my way home
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Time-time, now-now
Always played it coolEvery step I take I'm heading for the swimming pool
So feed me, believe me
My friends will never leave me
But one wrong look
And I'll close the book
I'll knock you on your ass
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Call me by my real name
Call me by my real name
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
2. Eden
It's cold inside my heart
Oh it's over
It's raining in my mind
Haunted soul
Why was I so wrong
When I'm just a mortal man inside myself
Break these walls, my prison cell
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling
Danger's calling me
Call me desperate and scared
Suffering angel
I rise but then I fallI'm just sorry for the things I tell
Help me now, this is my hell
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's callingbr>Danger's calling me
Dangerous cries
Blacken the skies
Losing my mind
The heart of a crime
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling
Danger's calling
Last night, something went down in Eden
And holy water can't wash away my sins
Oh, now there ain't no leavin'
And danger's calling me
Danger's calling
3. The Train
Just yesterday
I took the train
So many times
You went away
I searched the
Whole world over
Never looking
Over my shoulder
Your silver linings
Hold the key
Just leave your
Spare change next to me
You took your chances
With the big time
Oh, where's your
Sense of destiny
Oh Heidi of Rodeo
Will you ever
Find your way home
Between the lovers
And the freaks
Livin' your life
Between the sheets
She's all wrong
I took the train
When she was gone
She'll cut you
If she could
Another night
In Hollywood
Her favorite color's
Always greener
Her favorite book
The dates you keepYou like the
Taste of money
White wine
The limo's runnin'
Your silver linings
Hold the key
Just leave your spare change
Next to me
Does anybody out there
Know her name
Does anybody out there care
She tried to ride the rail
But she couldn't make the bail
Just yesterday I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Just yesterday I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Just yesterday
I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday
4. In Our Minds
Seven years ago
When you still had your smile
When you still had your laugh
Always in control
To bring us all alive
To leave us when you died
Walking on the plank
Walking on the wire
Running from the pain
Always start the fire
To throw it all away
Your life fell on the rocks
Traded in your attitude
Retire to the skies
What were you thinking
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinking
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave us far behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
Don't you know
That you were loved
You know that you were liked
I know you had shadows
To tell you wrong from right
And all your friends
In all the heavens
Can make you free
To fly...fly
I know there's a limit boy
There's a limit
On your life
I'll see you at the gate
My friend
We'll play it one more time
What were you thinking
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinking
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave us far behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
Oh, it's a scary situation
To think it could be me
To think it could be me
To think it could be
It's like I made this highway home
Another dark and lonely road
If there's a god
Then heaven's gonna help me
Another bow
A broken arrow
Another fight with
Life so shallow
What were you thinkin'
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinkin'
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave this world behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
5. Say Goodbye
I see in deep blue skies
Halls I kept divine
Was there a better time
I hear echo cries
Oh...You're late
It blew my mind
Doesn't anybody want
To let you die
Your diary's erased
To say goodbye
Ten years, home to home
Long nights, nights, nights
Wet nights, winter snowAlright...shaken by the blow
Doesn't anybody want
To let you die
Your diary's erased
To say goodbye
Doesn't anybody want
To let you die
Your diary's erased
To say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye my honey
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Don't you take my money now
Say goodbye, doesn't anybody want
To let you die
6. The Innocent Only
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
Like the nights in New York
Never sleeping
I'll be hittin' the roadway
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the billboard saying to me
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
Another neon light overhead
Just to rot my bloodshot
Eyes are red...but I...
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling
Me to home again
And sometimes
And sometimes
And sometimes...
And the tiny cigarettes
That you're leaving
Are burnin' holes
In the hallway
Another day that my meals got away
And my bottle is broke
From the dues I've got to pay
Life is easy
For all in the city
But the innocent only
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the old man saying to me
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling
Me to home again
And sometimes
And sometimes
And sometimes
I guess that's the way it should go
Me against the world
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the old
man saying to me
Life is easy for all
In the city
But the innocent
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling me
To home again
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so so so tired
Oh, winter's calling me home
And I just can't let it go
I've got the summer, summer, summer blues
7. Your Song
It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those
Who can easily hide
I ain't got much money
But, girl, if I did
I'd buy a big house
Where we both could live
If I was a sculptor
But then again, no
Or a man who makes potions
In a traveling show
I, I know it ain't much
But it's the best I can do
My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
I sat on the roof
And kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses
They've got me quite cross
And the sun seemed quite nice
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you
That keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
You see, I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway, the thing is
What I really mean
Your's are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
What I put down in words
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
What I put down in words
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
You can tell everybody
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world
8. Indian Summer
Rain is falling
My face is burning
Time to worship the sun
Standing still but
My wheels are turning
Time to polish my gun
Walk the mile
For my native brother
Carving names on the wall
Temperment of my canine calling
Can't find right from wrong
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Danced through the rain and sunshine
It's indian summer
By the avenue of the desert
Lay the weaker to rest
Took me in as a stranger once
But now I dance with the dead
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Danced through the rain and sunshine
It's indian summer
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Dance to the rain and sunshine
It's indian, indian, indian
Oooh, you've got me indian summer
9. Dealin' with Me
Herald I'm calling
Herald my friend
My flag is falling
I'm bound by the end
Is anybody home
I live to stand alone
This time you pushed me too far
Red, yellow, black, and blue
The colors on my face
Another way to say goodbye
Everything I learned in school
Never helped my case
They never taught me how to die
And when the sky is falling
Sunday morning
Herald will deal me the king
You went from aces to the joker-the king
It's in the cards
Your life is over
But, see...this time
You're dealin' with me
Oh, dealin' with me
Red, yellow, black, and blue
The colors on your vest
It's your reward for being sane
Maybe I'll just burn the flag
And live like all the rest
So someone else can take the blame
And when the sky is falling
Sunday morning
Herald will teach me to be...
Everything my father left the bed for
To be-the only life my father
Lived and bled for
But see...this time
You're dealin' with me
Oh, dealin' with me
To be, you went from
aces to the joker-to be
Oh, it's in the cards
Your life is over-the king
This time you're dealin' with me...
This time you're dealin' with me
Dealin' with meOh, dealin' with me
10. Rage
Say-hail the leader with the mask
Let's say we put him to the test
Somehow he doesn't like the sound
He'll dig his heels into the ground
To think that he's the seventh wonder
Moving mountains with the thunder
All the lies he tries to cover
Money talks, where is the love
And the land that falls beneath him
To apologize beneath himWatch a crowd of many tease him
Run in circles to appease him
It's a rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! Rage!
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! A little freedom for us all
Too many guns, too many tax
Too many mobs persue the waks
Too many cops push you around
The lunatic has come un-wound
I think his tie is a little too tight
We gotta teach the man his wrong from his right
Ya gotta-ya gotta-ya gotta
It's the rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! Rage!
Rage of disorder
Rage of
disorder
Rage!...and the lunatic has come unwound
A little freedom erases the hate of us all
It's a rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! Rage!
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! Rage!
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage! Rage!
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage of disorder
Rage, rage, rage, rage, rage, rage, rage
Guns, guns, guns are spreading disease
Sex is survival, survival to me
The man with the mask made a fool out of me
He's lying to you
Yea, he's lying
He's crying
The rage of disorder
11. Kayla
I've got this feeling from the inside out
Somehow I made it through the rain
A good and evil battle with my soulNow I've been tempted by the pain
I saw you yesterday on deposition lane
But you had nothing left to say
My life without you is a future run awayBut nothing still matters, and
nothing's the same
Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul
Every time I look at you I can't control
Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tell
You left me standing by the wishing well
Another weekend of your lying, your cryingYour raining on my parade
And now you're dancing with the ghost in the closetYou're playing with fire
Your head's getting higher
Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul
Every time I look at you I can't control
Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well
Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul
Every time I look at you I can't control
Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well
Kayla, Kayla, your rotten soul
Every time I look at you I can't control
Kayla, Kayla, your eyes can tellYou left me standing by the wishing well
