1. The One To Sing The Blues
Don't know what I did to make you feel that way,
I can't always say just what I want to say,
I'm out of place again, you're on my case again,
Bringing up the past & sling it in my face again,
Put me in the frame,
So even if I win I lose,
Going down slow ain't the only way to go,
Listen to me honey, gonna tell you something funny,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,
Seems to me the good times ended way to soon,
Seems like faded echoes in an empty room,
Strangers in the night, strangers in the light,
Seems like every word we say just makes us scratch and bite,
Thought we had the answers,
Sure we couldn't lose,
What you want from me,
Is all the things that I can't be,
Listen to me baby, I'm beginning to go crazy,
Miss me when I'm gone you'll be the one to sing the blues,
More it think about it it's a goddamn shame,
Opposites attract 'til they become the same,
Daggers in our eyes, time to say goodbye,
Time to stop pretending, time to stop the endless lies,
I wish you luck, babe, I hope you find a dream and it comes true,
What my eyes can't see don't make no difference to me,
Listen to me faking, even though me heart is breaking,
Miss you now you're gone, now I'm the one to sing the blues.
2. Dead Man's Hand
Standing in the ruins with a stone cold heart
Lost in the wasted land
Prison'd all alone in my cage of bone
Castles made of sand
Cry me a river, scream out loud
Burned and screaming in the endless crowd
[Chorus:]
Hey, hey, hey, waiting for the marching band
Hey, hey, be the devil to pay
Can't beat the devil with a dead man's hand
Standing at the station, looking down the track
Waiting for the thunder chief
Black clouds fly in the blood red sky
Broken on the reef
Terminal station, gone dead train
Turn my face to the poison rain
[Chorus]
Waiting at the border with a pirate flag
See the sky turn black
Cold dead moon like a junkie spoon
Vultures at my back
Dust and ashes, blood red sun
Beast is loose and the race is run
[Chorus]
3. Eagle Rock
I dont know how I know it
But I sure know its true
I know that you can always find
Some way to make it through
You might not have the answers
You could still be in shock
It aint fair, but you wont care
Long as youre doing the Eagle Rock
I dont know how it figures
But I know thats the way
That everything is done Nround here
Every night and day
You may not have much money
You might not own a clock
But you wont care what time it is
Long as youre doing the Eagle Rock
Come on baby, let me see you dance
I know we could make out real good
Given half a chance
I know I aint too pretty
And I sure do drink a lot
But you wont mind that, when you find that
Youve been flying with the Eagle Rock
4. Shut You Down
Pack my bags and leave today,
You read this I'll be far away,
Ain't gonna give ya no moon in June,
Never see you it'll be too soon,
[Chorus:]
One eyed Jack, gotta watch my back,
See you 'round, guess I better,
Shut you down, shut you down,
Shut you down,
Steal your thunder, turn you round,
Listen up 'cos I'm telling you,
Magic moments were way too few,
Like to stay, but you got too weird,
Don't look right since you grew that beard,
[Chorus]
Tell you babe, what I'm gonna do,
Leave this town and I'll leave you too,
Don't wanna see your face no more,
Don't come 'round knocking at my door.
[Chorus]
