Well I've a mind to up and book it out And still I wait for, and I wait for your call Now I've set so long by the phone Yea I fear that it won't come at all I am deathly afraid of the postman No letters, you better let her go Any word on the wire could stir my desire, no It's best if you don't And still I wait for your call My doors lock from the inside And yet I know why the caged bird sings When there's no place called home There's no place to go There's no need for wings Why would I want to live my life In love with just a memory How can I pray any more than I do for you On my tender knees, please Remember waking in the morning time Your silky skin was a sin You're too fine Well the fan blew the sheets off I can still hear her sweet talk Come now, turn around Why would I want to live my life In love with just a memory How can I pray any more than I do for you On my tender knees One hundred men could not end me then No one can stop me now With all they slew they forgot my roots They'll never chop me down Still I wait for, and I wait for your call

Sour Mash 03:14
Lost, ship tossed I am adrift at sea I have expended my provisions And my body is weak Here’s a toast to those My lady and my lover Here’s a toast to hope the two should never meet Oh! No! I feel I’m in my final throes I’ll surely die before this wind would send me home As I sleep I dream of waking in a port of call And I can hear them through the tavern wall Damn these windless sails 3:2:1 Wiskey sour mash Whet 'em like a snook light She looks like an hourglass Moor tight her port side Drop the bower fast Splice the main brace Whiskey sour mash If I should die a man of scanty years At least I cease with whiskey, amber clear It’s not as sweet as a woman’s touch But it’s so much more sincere Oh! No! The days they pass so slow Damn these windless sails As I fade beyond the waves there is a port of call And I can here them down the tavern hall Damn these windless sails The mast has bowed The bow is nesting with the crow I’ll surely die before these waves would take me home As I sleep I dream of waking in a port of call And I can hear them through the tavern wall

Working 04:13
Working Well I live, yes I live for a working Do it 'til my bones they are hurting Work 'til my world ceases turning You know I'm so very tired from my Working Yea I give and I give for my working Do it 'til my flesh it is burning Slave to the grave from my birthing You know, until I expire from my... Well the morning's for waking And the back is for breaking Don't feed the illusion There is no escaping Yes the brow is for beading 'til the sun is retreating And there in the darkness The ever present mare of my Working Yea I live, yes I live for a working Do it 'til my bones they are hurting Work 'til my world ceases turning You know I bleed, cry, perspire for my Working Yea I give and I give for my working Do it 'til my flesh it is burning Slave to the grave from my birthing 'til I succumb to the ire for my... Well the skin is for thickening And the muscles constricting Suspend your elusion There is no resisting Well the days are for passing And the sadness for masking The truth is unnerving I exist to persist in my Persist in my... I exist to persist in my Working Yea I live, yes I live for a working Do it 'til my bones they are hurting Work 'til my world ceases turning You know I'm so very tired from my Working Yea I give and I give for my working Do it 'til my flesh it is burning Slave to the grave from my birthing Until I expire from my... I live yes I live for a working Do it 'til my bones they are hurting Slave to the grave from my birthing You know I bleed, cry, perspire for my... I give and I give for my working Do it 'til my flesh it is burning Work 'til my world ceases turning 'til I succumb to the ire for my... Well the blood is for bleeding And the pain for receiving It's there in the darkness The ever present mare of my...

In Spades 03:53
Well it feels so good when you get the touch that you want It always comes in spades And it feels so good when you get the touch that you want Lend me your ears hear what I say It comes it spades, comes in spades now It always comes spades It comes it spades, comes in spades now It always comes spades So don't you mind what they say now For with the sun comes its rays They too imbue when they rain down It always comes in that spade Despair is a greater sin Than that form which it was born Avast, it will pass You've got to ride out the storm Joy is a god send That's if you choose to receive it The seed was sown in your bones It has grown You must reap it

Downpresser 04:01
And he's a fat-cat, gimme-that boy He built his gates on the downpressed He never cared, never shared And keeps his faith in a bad religion In a bad religion Well he wake up in the morning But he don't ever see the light It's hard to see your evil deeds When the greed has made you blind You know the greed has made you Made you blind Oh Lord, I said the greed has made you so blind And he's a good-soul, sensi-roll boy He built his gates on the Lord's land He never steal, never kill And keeps his faith in the Lord's religion He got that zinc fence His only defense No running, no running No running water He never had a chance No matter how hard he tried He never had a chance, no Lord he wake up in the morning But he don't go to sleep at night He live his life in pieces And he holds those pieces tight He holds those pieces He holds them tight He holds those pieces so tight Tight, tight... Lord I wake up in the morning But I don't go to sleep at night Well I live my life in pieces And I hold those pieces tight You know I hold those pieces You know I hold them tight Lord knows I hold, I hold them pieces So tight And he's a fat-cat, gimme-that boy He built his gates on the downpressed He never cared, never shared And keeps his faith in a bad religion In a bad religion

So break down in my arms It's okay to fall apart And I'll sift the pieces Lord I'll keep the strongest ones So break down in my arms It's okay to fall apart And I will build my love From every soul under the sun Under the sun I don't like when I say these things that make you cry And I don't want to be the man that makes you hurt inside, no Lord I don't like it when I can't turn back for my bridge is burning And I don't like it when I stand still and feel my world is tuning Well I don't long for what I left I've kept the parts I needed And when I go I'll stow what's best I must confess I'll keep it

What a willful woe Lord the moment I woke I rose And it wears my soul It's a heavy load I tow It's a long, long road I've a ways to go, I know When my pace has slowed Feel the back wind blow and so It's a long, long road I will find my own way home I will find my own way home It's a long, long road I will find my own way home... To your pretty little hands And your pretty little lips It's your pretty little legs And your pretty little hips It's your pretty little thighs And your pretty little waist It's your pretty little eyes And your pretty little face, girl Your pretty little face girl And why don't you come back to my place? It's your pretty little hands And your pretty little lips It's your pretty little legs And your pretty little hips It's your pretty little thighs And your pretty little waist It's your pretty little eyes And your pretty little face, girl Your pretty little face girl What a willful woe Lord the moment I awoke I rose And it wears my soul It's a heavy load I tow It's a long, long road I've a ways to go, I know When my pace has slowed Feel the back wind blow and so It's a long, long road I will find my own way home

Lay it down on the eight track Picket fence Grass grows green But the money's pretty thin around here Always wonder if you're coming home Don't know, never mind Never want to see you with him around here It's a shakedown Came in heavy and I don't play anyhow It's a shakedown Get the goddamn money out Days fly south with the birds now Get the word out Drop a kite and you wont wake up again Take the back streets Bend the corner, slow down Pull your piece out Make the bricks kick up again Put your name on a postcard Girl you are so far Eight bars Whistle in the prison yard See the moon in the night sky Rhythm of the high tide Fire fly Try to keep your eyes dry

The Window 03:47
Neverending hallways they are Spinning in my mind Burning up the secrets I will Keep until I die The boys are in the basement and now They are getting high Half a bottle deep then and for Every time I tried And I tried Would it be so bad Wont you take me back Wont you come to the window Say Im the only one Say what you want Don't tell me where you've been though Come to the window So I set to walk the night and I Set to walk with Bo The rain it made us wet like dogs and We're both dogs I know I had my belt around his neck I held it pretty tight The rain it felt so good to me in the Middle of the night In the middle of the night

Waiting 03:46
And I've been waiting and waiting girl And I've been waiting for so long I seen her show the leg I've seen her drink the wine I've seen her smile back It's almost every time A patient man can wait Sometimes as much as years You're not the only one who doesn't sleep alone here No I never sleep alone here No I do not sleep alone Well I had gone astray And I had covered tracks And she had gone away But she come right back A patient man can wait At least a lifetime So when you're ready woman Tell me it's the right time Won't you tell me it's the right time? Cause I've been waiting and waiting girl And I've been waiting and waiting girl And I've been waiting for so long No I do not sleep alone But I've been waiting and waiting girl And I've been waiting and waiting girl And I've been waiting for so long

I know I... I know I... The silhouettes swing with the bass line They got them lights down low She move her body when it's quick time She move her body when it's slow You better come when I call girl And if you come you should stay It's not the beating in your heart It's the hearts you break Hearts you break Holier than thou Higher than I have ever been You could fight but... You could fight but you will never win And god's army will crush you Given time even rocks become sand And god's army will crush you Give it time, even rocks become sand LIVE INTRO I wasn't born of another man Don't you understand I am not unholy but otherwise I'm in the cracks of the concrete Don't speak Listen to the earth turn Feel me on the inside Time is nothing but a word for the mortal tongue Spoken by the air Through the breath of a mortal lung We are alive by disorder on the rise Children of a cloth made of lies that were never spun What have they done? Some have killed, some have died They built a tower from the silt to the sky And now they suffer not of guilt, but of pride So I cast them down Back to Babylon What have they done? Some have killed, some have died They built a tower form the silt to the sky But now they're cursed and the ills won't subside For I cast them down Back to Babylon

Marlie 04:22
A new face for Marlie A new face for Marlie Beautiful baby Pray she play me on my heart strings Operation: Get a new face for Marlie I have heard those words and how they've scarred me Operation: Get a new face for Marlie Send the twins The end is near It's not the end I fear

In My Bones 04:51
In the middle of the night Like a match head Burning bright I can feel you I Know you're there In the middle of the night Feel the tension Turn me tight I can feel you I Know you're there And I know you're there Well I know you're there I know you're there… Turn around, now my Exclamations bend and cry All they ask is why I cant explain Culminate my crime Perpetrations, sins and vice I cannot describe It calls my name Simply put the only reason Im coming home Is the feel of your sweet treason In my bones You're in my bones In the middle of the night Like a match head Burning bright I can feel you I Know you're there In the middle of the night Feel the tension Turn me tight I can feel you I Know you're there And I know you're there Well I know you're there I know you're there… In my bones You're in my bones I will sleep when my Retaliation ends your life Men have paid the price For my disdain In the middle of the night In the end it's the end and I And if I don't survive At least I came Simply put the only reason Im coming home Is the feel of your sweet treason In my bones You're in my bones

Exile 05:46
You better run for the ocean You better push before the dawn breaks You better grow yourself a long face It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore You better run while there's no sun Before they come to lay you long ways You better get yourself a new name You've no place here anymore You better run for the ocean You better push before the dawn breaks You better grow yourself a long face It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore It's not safe here anymore
