Life so long
04:51
|
|

Well its long past leaving and its long past goodbye
and its long past reasons and its long past why
and its long past believing, that somehow you were mine
and its long since I remembered the color of your eye
and Life's so long without you
and Life's so long with you gone
and Life's so long without you
and life keeps getting longer all along.
Well I'm not done wishing you harm
but there's no need for sounding the alarms
No I ain't done adding up all of the penalties that you cost
but I'm long past believing that yo were a just cause
and Life's so long without you
and Life's so long with you gone
and Life's so long without you
and life keeps getting longer all along.

Company to keep
02:04
|

Through the deserts and the mountains and deep
I couldn't find no company to keep
Passers by coming up on the rise
Look alive, hold your tongue and stick out you thumb
Here they come
Passers by don't pull over to my side
they can see from the window, that I'm not their kind
they see from the window that I'm not their kind
I was denied
because I was not their kind
Through the deserts and the mountains and deep
I couldn't find no company to keep
Passers by coming up on the rise
Look alive, hold your tongue and stick out you thumb
Here they come
Passers by pull over to my side
they say "come on stranger and take a ride'
but i see through the window , they are not my kind and I declined
because they were not my kind.

Hate you
01:24
|
|||
I didn't learn it at home
I had to learn it on my own
Found out the rumors were all very true
And I learned to
Hate you, hate you , hate you, hate you
I hate your violence
I hate your loud
I hate your commerce
I hate your rude
I hate your children almost as much
As they hate you
Hate you, hate you , hate you, hate you

Hope and joy

You know I try to stop the world from turning
You pull my head out from inside of the gears
I see the the tooth marks it puts across your hands
and I tell you they'll be there fr years
Don't worry
I love you more than I'm afraid of living
I love you more than I hate my job
I love you more than I want to be killing
Anyone who's got more than me
and all of their happy families
More than my failed revenge schemes
More than you hat waiting for me
to come around to Hope and Joy, Oh boy, Hope and Joy.
I see the future its a horrible place
I see the future its an alien race
I see the future when I'm reading the screen
Poor thing, you see the future when you're looking at me
Don't worry
I love you more than I'm afraid of living
I love you more than I hate my job
I love you more than I want to be killing
Anyone who's got more than me
and all of their happy families
More than my failed revenge schemes
More than you hat waiting for me
to come around to Hope and Joy, Oh boy, Hope and Joy.

Domicile
01:16
|

The shit work and the night jobs
busy riling up the mob on my mind
When I go away, all I think about
Is everything I'm leaving behind
in my
Domicile
everything I've gathered through all my young years
Domicile
Open up you arms dear
let me stay a while
This Pitch fork and this Brief case
are just a quicker way to the grave
Got to keep my eyes on the road
That's always freshly paved
to my
Domicile
everything I've gathered through all my young years
Domicile
Open up you arms dear
let me stay a while

Bastards bitch
02:08
|
|||
You packed your bags in a hurry
I begged you please to look at me
You said you already know what I look like
and don't you dare get on your knees
and I've been coughing and hacking for three days straight
and I don't know where you are
I only know you say you're safe
but I don't know if I am
I'll do anything but let you go
Just let me know
No one wants to be some bastards bitch
No one would blame you for leaving
I know its me, I know its me, I know its me
and I have driven you to my madness
I'd cut it out with a knife if I though it would save you heart for me
and you could look at me with your kind eyes again
but it ain't that easy
It will take time, courage and patience
I've always been in short supply
If I beg, borrow and steal enough to get through to the other side
Will you walk with me through to the light
I'll do anything but let you go
Just let me know
No one wants to be some bastards bitch
No one would blame you for leaving

Brains out
03:50
|

I fed the baby all of my money
and I watched it starve to death
So I took evasive action till' I ran out of cigarettes
and I'll blame it on the woman
Though I know she's just a victim
but I'll blame her anyway
because she's just such easy pickins'
and I thought about it hard
and its death I'm living in
and I though about it hard
and I don't want to live again
and If No man is an island
Why do they build so many bridges ?
and if bridges weren't meant to be burnt
Why do they make them out of people ?
and if People weren't meant to be hurt
Why do they make them very fragile
and I thought about it hard
and its death I'm living in
and I though about it hard
and I don't want to live again
and I thought about it hard
and this life don't matter none
and I thought about it hard
Blow my brains out with a gun.

Law in his hands
04:44
|
|||
Keep the home fires burning
though I may not be returning
If they catch me at the Border
then everything's gone out of order
Be prepared to burn it all down
The time has come to stand your ground
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
He wants your money and he wants your land
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
Make sure you take him down with you
when you go
Fair faced boy from next door
Just came back from the war
He ain't so friendly anymore
He's a Black water mercenary following orders
He's the man marching down with the law in his hands
He knows your secrets and he knows your plans
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
Make sure you take him down with you
when you go
All the preparations you made
For when times were thin
Don't you doubt for a minute
They're gonna try and reign you in
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
He wants you money and he wants your land
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
He wants your seedlings and he wants your plants
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
Make sure you take him down with you
when you go
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
They lay claim to every natural thing
The seed, the sickness and the cure
The words you speak and the songs you sing
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
He holds the patent and he owns the brand
When the man marches down with the law in his hand
Make sure you take him down with you
when you go

As together we share
02:36
|

As together we share
it can only be fair
as the stakes are are raising
As together we share
A promise and a dare
A partner and a rival
When I'm feeling so low
I want to get up and blow
but I'm coming down cold and crazy
Gotta squeeze in one more
Before it kicks down the door
and takes this moment from me
As Together we share
it can only be fair
as the tides are rising
As together we share
A promise and a dare
Departures and arrivals

Grace
02:27
|
|||
Sitting by lonesome trying to ignore you walking by
Wishing that you would say you love me once more before I die
I know you moved on with your other man
but that's the lover that you took before you let go of my hand
Can a heart break with grace
Save some of this face eroded by the tears of losing you forever
I want to take my tallest strides alone.
Houses in the future and perfections of the past
Never found a way to make the presents presence last
You loved the idea of us and I loved the fantasy
Gave you all I was and then you ran away from me
Can a heart break with grace
Save some of this face eroded by the tears of losing you forever
I want to take my tallest strides alone.
You Betcha'
