Road To Avalon
04:36
|
|||
We went were the roads ran out, into the deep
Days like lost dogs, raw boned, stony feet
The motorways were pinballs and ribbons
They were heartaches and visions
On the Road to Avalon
On the Road to Avalon
Slept in towns, where the songs had blown away
Woke in cities, where the earth and sky had come away
We are the names that came before you
Now we’re just drifters barricaded at the border
Sharing whispers in the shadows painting pictures on our gallows
You were mine, I was yours, what we wanted was the only law, on the road, to Avalon
On The Road To Avalon
On The Road To Avalon

Click Click Domino

Pale skinned winkle picker
Nihilistic pill trippier
Aesthetic apathetic
High and mighty Aphrodite
Another primadonna playboy
Got you paying for a new toy
Pretty as a cupcake
Cheap a deep fake, cmon
Another waster in the rhinestone drop zone , another click click domino
Another lBuzz kill PBR’ing cheap thrill. Play it out domino.
Populism politics
You be my princess til you’re made sick
You bought it all on credit
Cos you can’t push the product if your looking like you made it
ice melting on the frontier
Here the Jets clicking into gear
Pushed out of plastic
Comfy and elastic c’mon
They Never put you on the guestlist
You’re mama's little chauvinists
Like a Motorola flip phone
Updated outgrown
Play it out domino

You said nothing matters if it doesn’t hurt
Who cares if it’s diamonds or if it’s dragged through the dirt?
If we’re not burning Lord then I’m not feeling
“How can they call this living when they’re not singing?
Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir
We’re just two lost souls running to the wire
We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain
Tonight, we’ll get a little higher
In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire
And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page
The birds are waking and the day is lazy
We’re The King and Queen of Nowhere we pin our hopes on a maybe
So wake up now baby, you know our dates are set
In another moment they’ll remember, in another moment we're just gonna forget
Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir
We’re just two lost souls running to the wire
We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain
Tonight, we’ll get a little higher
In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire
And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page
So roll them bones, let them take what they want
Can't you hear them calling?
So throw that stone, we’ll just see where it lands
I can feel feel it falling
Tonight, we’re screaming in the choir
We’re just two lost souls running to the wire
We’re the Bright Lights Shaking like twisting chain
Tonight, we’ll get a little higher
In a that Helter Skelter spinning with desire
And then Backstage we’ll write another line on the page

Raining For You
03:04
|
|||
All those sad songs
That shine like diamonds
Whisper and they keep you all alone
In the stillness
You begin to rust
A heartbeat ain’t enough Without some love
The night keeps calling
The sky keeps falling
And I keep raining for you
Now your lips
Are paper thin
and my name became tattoo Neath your skin
But it’ll fade
out in time
Far beyond the shadow and the shine

Little Liars
03:55
|
|||
Half the man, half the madness
Polaroid pictures and a radio darkness
This room couldn’t hold our dreams
And we won’t be tied to the things we leave
Little liars
and news print fires
We’ll watch them burn x 2
I left my life, I let them go
Headed out to a destination still unknown
Hanging on my breath by your teeth
My mind starts to ramble like those wild geese
Little liars
and news print fires
We’ll watch them burn x 2
Rolling on to another old sun
Kissing hot breath out of cool lungs
Wild hearts and lawless blood
Run so deep in American mud
Little liars
and news print fires
We’ll watch them burn x 2

Deep River
04:29
|
|||
You were a cannonball, moving on the water
I was the moon and the river and the rapture
Mississippi Cavaliers crashing through the Mayqueens chandeliers
We left the river, headed to the city
Two organ grinders, looking for a monkey
Tombstone hearts and Blacksmith hands
Aching just for being there on dry land
Clattering stone and rattling bones, stepping to the beat of an old acetone
You and me my baby blue, deep in the jungle without our shoes
When you get to the City, you gotta get a job
And you’ll walk those streets until your feet throb
White shirts, clean teeth, combed hair, tie,
You'll still be at the bottom of the welfare line
I tried to be a weatherman tried to mix drinks
Took out loans to learn to think
Pink pills fizzing up my brain, I stayed unemployed as the falling rain
Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues
Mr banks said he could help but I could see his teeth
Clicking like a tiger before fresh meat
Compound interest, FDIC, nothing in this town ever came for free
I soon missed the wind, blowing through the rushes
I soon missed the river song riding like a Duchess
Lost in someone else’s prayer, trapped between the cold earth and the air
Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues
In my blood I could feel the tide, pulling through me like your presidents pride
I knew it was time to leave, smell of the water coming through the trees
So we drank to the zealots, apostles and dreamers, that were poor as the patriots and parking meters
And flowed like a river made of gasoline and all of the ice down in New Orleans
There was no message I could find, no epiphany calling from the clear divine Just broken screens and flying machines, in pieces on the ground
Oh My, Deep River Bottom Blues
You were a cannonball moving across the water
I was the moon and the river and the rapture
Mississippi cavaliers crashing through the May queen chandeliers

Heartworn Traders
03:07
|
|||
Heartworn traders, hungry players, strung out on the wire.
There was nothing I could promise except these spinning tyres.
Cos there’s a highway through my chest,
And it keeps rolling on,
and It will carry, pull us through ,and keep you on a song
You've seen me crying, you seen me laughing, seen me out of control
We’re One of a thousand stories lost out on this road ooooo ooo
Cutting trails, lifting sails, across the great divide.
Counting change, switching lanes, you always by my side
sounds of sirens, never silenced, this town doesn’t know that we’re here
Ring the doorbell, late night hotel, keep the cash box near

Calico Coming Down
04:32
|
|||
String lights and dog fights out on the Messa
It’s prom night in junction, it’s cut out in letters
Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust
Burn on the frontier, like you knew they must
Jet planes shine above the town
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down
Valentines and cheap wine, spin in silhouettes
Marilyn and Cobain sharing back door cigarettes
Sweethearts and cowboys are twisting up like sparks
Fathers in their kitchens, drinking whiskey in the dark
Hear that barking lonely hound
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down
Collect up your kisses, the hall begins to clear
Cinderella on the dance floor in a swimming pool of tears
Shadows and dust, white skirts and rust
The emptiness of those hills and that deep dark hush
Someone will have to wear the crown
Calico colours coming down
Calico colours coming down

Learn To Love You Better
03:34
|

I’ve gotta learn to love you better
I’ve got to learn to love you better
When your dark mind is reeling, and I'm the closest reason
When your light is gone
and your dreams stand still
I’ll be the world, twisting to your will
I’ve got to learn to love you better
I’ve got to learn to love you better
You know my hearts a lonely hunter but you came to me like thunder
Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye
You be the moon I’ll be the water, I’m the wine and you're the altar
When we’re both blind to the things we could have
When you're broken and sad, and I'm lost in my madness
I’ve got to learn to love you better
I’ve got to learn to love you better
You know my hearts a lonely hunter and you came to me like thunder
Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye x2
I’ve got to learn to love you better
I’ve got to learn to love you better x2
You know my hearts a lonely hunter and you came to me like thunder
(Sometimes) i feel I'm going under but, when treat me like a stranger
But then we're lost in one another, and I need you like a hunger
Making all your promises to me, let them be in the bye and bye x2

Long Gone and Heartworn
04:05
|
|||
We stop for an hour and move for five
Smoke our smokes just to calm the mind
Ragged colours in window
A hundred miles to the medicine show
Outside the line we’ll be coughing up sparks
Wasting daylight until the music starts
From Atlanta to the Bowery slums
We’ve seen a hundred hearts lost and won
May the road rise to meet us
Let the wind know our names
Let it us roll across the water and those endless thirsty plains
Let the road rise to meet us, watch it shiver and shine
we’ll learn to burn together like whiskey chasing wine
No money just a case of songs
And your words just to pull me along
Ears ringing like a telephone
Singing love Letters to the red light zone
Rattling bottles in a hire car
Strung out like a steel guitar
We keep the night just ahead of us
And Albert’s got a crush on a three beer rush

Mountain Lion Blues
04:05
|
|||
I'm a big cat baby, out on the mountainside
I’m a big cat baby, out on the mountainside
You gonna hear me moan through the mountains
Until I get satisfied
See my eyes baby, shine like daggers in the the dark
See my eyes baby, shine like daggers in the dark
You think can run but boy you know that you’ve been marked
You won’t walk with me baby, I’m gonna learn to prowl
You won’t sing with me, I’m gonna learn how to howl
But your heart will beat for me baby, and we're gonna cut through this crowd
I’m a mountain lion baby, out in the kingdom of the lamb
I’m a mountain lion baby, out in the kingdom of the lamb
Oh your gonna be my queen , and all this gonna be our land

Sing A Hallelujah
04:18
|
|||
Were all those years just wasted time?
Staying on my mind like yesterday’s wine
You placed a hand and turned a cheek
That carnival of ashes out on the street
Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true,
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe y
The air turned dry the days got still
I’m Thinking about you against my will
You’re Playing out like an endless song
Like the last fading star that Tries to shine on
Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true,
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you
Soft as glass and black as mud
My love for you never felt as it should
You kept the gold and my precious things
But you left me the rain clouds and these heavy wings
Just because I say it, it doesn’t make it true,
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you.
Just because I want you, I can't push it through.
You can sing a hallelujah but no one believe you

Has My Midnight Begun
05:06
|

I can feel the dark winds, whispering, mmm
My hands as cold as the rivers, through the mountain, mmmm
I can hear the timber talking
see your words shiver in the silver of the fountain
Oh my my, is it time
Has my midnight? Midnight begunn
Has my midnight? Midnight begun
Let our tears, Flow on, to forever mmmm
Just lay your body down, we’ll fold like feathers mmmmm
I can hear the timber talking see your words shiverin the silver of the fountain
Oh my my, is it time
Just tonight strike your light in this old ghost town
Just tonight strike your light let It all fall down
Has my midnight? Midnight begun?
Has my midnight? Midnight begun
