Blanche 04:12
How does it feel to be real on the south side of Elysian Fields? Caught up in dream it would seem like just another one of her deals. She acts so fine all the time Like a southern belle that's never been rung Sister Stella now watch your fella Her fantasy is coming undone She ain't looking for no Prince Charming Or someone disarming like you She don't need herself no kind of manly But a substitute Stanley for a minute or two She says, I get by, I rely on the kindness of strangers I get by, I rely on the kindness of strangers. Don't bet the farm on her charm It's a sad, sad tale to be spun Teacher won't you tell me a love story Have a little drink and think up one She ain't looking for no Prince Charming Or someone disarming like you She don't need herself no kind of manly But a substitute Stanley for a minute or two She says, I get by, I rely on the kindness of strangers I always try, I rely on the kindness of strangers.

Knoxville 03:59
I was twenty miles from Knoxville when the fog came rolling in. I was twenty miles from nowhere, lost and wondering how it all fits in. And I'm rolling on to Memphis and I can't find my way again. There's a time long ago When it all seemed to be so clear All the dreams, all the schemes Shadow boxing fear Rolling on to Memphis And the end is getting near. I sing roll baby roll all night long In every roadhouse dive and juke joint that happens along It's the hand I was dealt Thought It would be someone else And Im rolling into Memphis On the run from myself At a truck stop near Nashville I found myself singing the blues Down on my luck, just this old pickup truck It's the same old song that I chose I'm just trying to get to Memphis And I ain't got nothing to lose

Rosita 04:56
Oh Rosita, my Spanish señorita I still smell the flowers in your hair While you said you loved me so All along I knew you'd go Oh Rosita, my darling how could you dare It was just one of those nights Hot and sultry, full moonlight And the waves breaking lazy on the beach I was lost and all alone Cast adrift and far from home And the bottle was never out of reach All at once I felt the breeze Heard the rustling of the leaves I looked up and I saw you standing there Your dark eyes met with mine And I lost all sense of time Nothing mattered I no longer seemed to care We danced all through the night We held each other tight Making promises like castles in the sand For I knew it wasn't long That I'd hear the final song But you held my heart in the palm of your hand Oh Rosita, mi Bonita señorita I still smell the flowers in your hair While you said you loved me so All along I knew you'd go Oh Rosita, my darling how could you dare

Johnny come lately He comes around most every night Got a little girl down in Nashville You know he doesn’t treat her right He sings that sex sells magazines And you’re the sweetest thing baby I’ve ever seen And baby I know everything will be alright If I can make it through the night Sally sings sweetly She’s got a sweet song street siren She’s singing about true love in other tongues I don’t think she knows Just exactly what she means She says my love’s like a heart attack I see you go and I always take you back But baby I know everything will be alright If I can make it through tonight She says, I get by Singing that same old cliche sad lullaby goes something like I’m falling in and out of love just about most every day It’s funny how when we’re apart, baby, those little things Just up and seem to slip away Don’t know why i love you so Don’t know why you’ve always got to go but baby I know everything will be alright If I can make it through tonight. Johnny come nightly Cause he’s got nowhere else to go Once upon a time down in Neverland he had a girl But he never knew that he loved her so It’s kind of hard to hold on to your dreams with a three chord symphony and a pair of faded jeans and baby I know everything will be alright If I can make it through tonight She says, I get by Singing that same old cliche sad lullaby goes something like I’m falling in and out of love just about most every day It’s funny how when we’re apart, baby, those little things Just up and seem to slip away Don’t know why i love you so Don’t know why you’ve always got to go but baby I know everything will be alright If I can make it through tonight.

She Goes 04:49
She keeps her flowers in the bell of a saxophone Coffee cups and candlelight, she hates to be alone Like silent music how she watches colors bloom A golden vase in a place that never plays a tune And she goes... She keeps her past in the corner like a cast off pair of jeans Wrapped up in riddles things are never what they seem Crumpled up cast aside Another dream got lost inside And she goes… She goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on She goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And when she stops… She sees herself in the picture, a matinee movie queen Silver shadows, silky dancing on the screen She sighs and she cries and she yearns and she turns to laugh at me Just another joke between rings of smoke and you just can't see And she goes... She makes her memories to the tick of a taxi dance A thousand different mysteries her histories just one more chance She spins and she turns and her tears sting and burn Her world goes around she gets high she gets down And she goes... She goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on She goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And when she stops… …no one knows…

Tie Dyed 03:03
she's got a certain something caught up in her smile she cries a bluer tear than the greenest crocodile a bluer blue than the august sky and she's got cheshire secrets deep within her eyes and purple pinwheels sometimes bring me down i've got a million colors spinning round and round orange at sunset yellow sand caught in my toes she brings me kisses scarlet redder than the rose Up in the morning and we walk down to the shore she pulls the beads aside and cruises through the door she says, boy, can't you see the gate's open wide come on over to the other side she says, take me into your fold everybody needs a hand to hold and purple pinwheels sometimes bring me down i've got a million colors spinning round and round orange at sunset yellow sand caught in my toes she brings me kisses scarlet redder than the rose

Wasteland 06:58
Do you ever wonder why it always ends the same There's no tears left to cry No one ever wins this game And here we stand Our hearts in hand Broken and alone In this wasteland We used to call home do you ever stop and wonder when it all just fell apart? do you still recall a time there was space inside our hearts now its a wasteland where we now stand we're all alone in this wasteland we used to call home Do you ever ask yourself When we didn't even care When we took all we could take When we weren't even there Cause nothing's left In this empty nest We're on our own In this wasteland We used to call home Bitter seeds we planted grew Til there was nothing left to do Nothing left 'tween me and you When you look around this place And it's just an empty space Didn't even leave a trace Do you ever wonder How we ended up this way Something inside broke There's nothing more to say heading down the road don't even know Just slipped through our hands And leave this wasteland we used to call home It's just a wasteland We used to call home
