I'm the Only One

I've been lying all day with this buckle in my ribs
Vapor in my nose and confession on my lips
There's a sermon in the static and the words are shattered glass
there's leaking oil and hollow eyes beneath the overpass
The tank's all empty but I can't sit still
Give me treatment, give me matches and a sleeping pill
Is there anybody else who wants to crawl inside a gun?
I'm the only one
I've been lying all my life to every face I see
Running everywhere and I got no place to be
Now the mask is falling off and it's time I shed my suit
I'm going back to Colorado with some powder in my boot

Tearjerker

Blazing across the wheat-covered fields
I saw a flash off to the south
I took a drink of tangy warm fluid
and swished it around in my mouth
and sprayed it over my shoulder
the mist hung up in the air
There used to be a place where I could lay down my burden
and I was on my way there
Those salty tears running down my face
they wash away but I still remember the taste
Goddamn it all, I just don't care
You can take me like I am, or drop me off at a station somewhere
Had you been there when we fled out of town
you would not have been redeemed
You would've found yourself all alone on the highway
and it's nothing like what you dreamed
You're made out of what you were given
think whatever you like
But don't come back home with your eyes on your shoes
feeling sorry for the rest of your life

Turpentine

It's time to face it
It's time to rot
Where's the turpentine?
That's what I thought
The slime it grows
down in our guts
from poisonous lies
candy coated nuts
Oh dear God
Can't you burn it all down?
Till the wicked have been purged
and the crust is golden brown
It's time to get down
It's time to get out
Raise your voice
if you don't know what you're talking about
A voodoo potion
what the country needs
hallucinogens
dandelion seeds

When It Comes

Before the break of day
before the glimmer of the early sun
hold on tight, we're gonna be together
when it comes
If the jury will grant it
if the fates can agree to the sum
I want to feel your arms around me
when it comes
We built a castle darling
a little home where the work was never done
Let us meet there again in a dream
when it comes
Take this promise from me
with a gentle grip between your fingers and your thumbs
I'll keep loving you beyond the heavens
when it comes
