Hi-Yo Silver
03:49
|

I don't know what to do
with all the weight of my love
if one and one is two
it must be something made of
the very me and you
that come together as one
I haven't got a clue
I only know what you've done
your pretty face and your electrical lines
are everything I ever wanted to find
hi-ho silver
forever and a day
hi-ho silver
as we ride away
hi-ho silver
I've heard a thing or two
about the state of my own
another bone to chew
when I'm feeling alone
not on a rendezvous
but searching high and low
for you and only you
the one true love I know
for lack of any other plausible rhyme
we'll leave it now for an appropriate time
hi-ho silver
forever and a day
hi-ho silver
as we ride away
hi-ho silver

Always Stays The Same
02:59

I know the way I'm going
the mountains I must climb
up against a wind that's blowing
one step at a time
wish I had some way of knowing
just what will I find
when I arrive
hell-bent on adventure
heaven in my sight
but the pain never goes away
always stays the same
just around the corner
the clouds are rolling in
cold and grey distraction
patience wearing thin
I thought it would come easy
all along the way
now there's always something
doggin' up my day
bringing on the sorrow
bringing on the pain
pain never goes away
always stays the same

Fire In The Hallway
05:35
|

gotta get up. back to lovin'
kinda hard to reassemble. in a way
I wanna know what this feeling is all about
and why it goes as fast as it comes
got a notion. I have it all figured out
baby lemme set the spark
in the hallway of your house
I'm calling your attention
now listen. something needs to burn
fire in the hallway
what a combination. you and me we're not the same
it's a fact that we both know
sexual healing. set the twilight reeling
I really wanna turn you on
with a fire in your little place
baby can you feel the heat
fire in the hallway
everywhere you go. I follow you around
call it bad desire
it's the morning after midnight and I need some more
searching here and there and everywhere you go
I just need to know
if there's something that will turn you on
no way my baby is gone
said I'm never gonna get you back
no matter how hard I try
I'm gonna set you up again
call you darling
flaming. oh flame
fire in the hallway
get her back
for what it's worth
such an educated girl
and attractive
say my name

Turn It Around
04:09
|
|||
|
the dusty traces
of every treasure we've ever found
returned to places
without a whisper of any sound
stone cold and getting colder
the weight on our shoulders
holding us down
lost out among the lonely
wish that we could only
turn it around
this situation
has found us lost and so full of doubt
no good vibration
we're not quite sure which way is out
the warm embraces
have crossed the line to dangerous ground
we've run our races
to find we only go round and round
stone cold and getting colder
the weight on our shoulders
holding us down
lost out among the lonely
wish that we could only
turn it around
it's getting colder
the mood is sober
can't talk it over
it's getting colder
turn it around
stone cold and getting colder
the weight on our shoulders
holding us down
lost out among the lonely
wish that we could only
turn it around

Keep On Knockin'
03:56
|
|||
|
found her lying on the kitchen floor
just came back from the grocery store
red jam on the butter knife
fading amber in her eyes
fat mouth just a while ago
we had a quarrel about you know
now I'm standing here and watching her
dead sure that will get me nowhere
keep on knockin' at my door
found her body on the kitchen floor
keep on knockin' at my door
nothing that I have no answer for
another crack in the coffee cup
sharp spoon. stir it up
fingerprints on the tablecloth
cappuccino and latte froth
red jam all over me
strawberries up to my knees
this is how the story goes
strawberry jam on butter toast
keep on knockin' at my door
found her body on the kitchen floor
keep on knockin' at my door
nothing that I have no answer for
did I call 911
better turn my head and run
need an airtight alibi
oh boy you do know why
keep on knockin' at my door
found her body on the kitchen floor
keep on knockin' at my door
nothing that I have no answer for

So Close
05:58
|

so close
one deep distraction
so close
no sense of any direction now
so close
no satisfaction
until I can get to you somehow
so close
off in the distance
so close
no simple shortcut would ever do
so close
with no resistance
to one last step between me and you
hot as any toaster
I burn as I roll
ready to go
ghost on a roller coaster
I burn as I roll
ready to go
one deep distraction
no sense of any direction now
no satisfaction
until I can get to you somehow
off in the distance
no simple shortcut would ever do
with no resistance
between the me and you

When You Were Young
04:50
|
|||
|
the clouds are rolling in
the wind is kicking up a breeze
of what is sounding like a bitch and a moan
no matter where you've been
you've always filled your cup with pieces
of a puzzle and a broken bone
the sound of sirens
the rubber slipping on the street
as all the traffics backing up for miles
down to adrenalin
another kick in the seat that finds you
checking out the sweet and dirty dials
talking about the lost, the lonely and the wasted
nothing you can do, but walk on the wild side
the smell of your breath
like everything that you've tasted
some deadly sin, not to be denied
when you were young
the taking your time and
the "of your own mind"
as lovers come and go
through the dirt and the grime
the thrill of it all
the bouncing of the ball
and everything that you wish for
if you wish at all
when you were young
talking about the lost, the lonely and the wasted
nothing you can do, but walk on the wild side
the smell of your breath
like everything that you've tasted
some deadly sin, not to be denied
when you were young

Full Moon Tide
07:18
|
|||
|
the wind blows stronger, faster, longer
the rain comes falling down
the world is spinning, just beginning
to make a mournful sound
the blue, blue sky is way up high
with nowhere else to go
oceans rise, before your eyes
to take the things you know
full moon tide, blushing bride
sit right back, enjoy the ride
love the land the best you can
take command and mind your manners
time is ticking, cotton picking
minutes turn to hours
days go by so on the sly
no time to smell the flowers
soon the years are filled with tears
whenever you can face them
much too late to change the date
or wish you could replace them
full moon tide, blushing bride
sit right back, enjoy the ride
love the land the best you can
take command and mind your manners
be the welcome stranger
wherever you may roam
lead a life of danger
but take care of your own
treat the world kindly
and try to set the tone
don't forget, you're just a guest
in someone else's home
full moon tide, blushing bride
sit right back, enjoy the ride
love the land the best you can
take command and mind your manners
