Mary 05:28
Mary, I get the feeling that you're crossing the line between reality and losing your mind so take a moment to breathe Cause there must be, there's gotta be some kind of rules to the game the way you're playing puts the hate in my veins and tests the patience in me and it simply can't be Back then, there was a time you were the sun as it shined but now the heat has left me burning alive I just can't find no relief So Mary, I got the feeling that it's more than enough I found you out and now I'm callin' the bluff and it's alright with me alright with me Everyone keeps asking me why bother with this version of love? Well its the million dollar question and I know my answer won't measure up Cause I don't know what it is that I've been dreaming up But I know, yes I know, yes I know this simply just ain't enough Cause lately I get this feeling that there's something I missed some kind of passion you can't find in a kiss some kind of feelings for me And its one thing (yeah) one thing to find a person you can destroy some kind of lover for a weekend employ somebody wild and free that someone ain't me me? But I'm trying about as hard as I can possibly try and now it seems the days are passing me by its seem to lost all intrigue But I don't know just what I'm after is it pain or is laughter? Does it truly even matter? I DON'T KNOW But I do know that I'm losing control, that I'm losing control Everyone keeps asking me why bother with this version of love? Well it's the million dollar question and I know my answer won't measure up Cause I don't know what it is that I've been dreaming up but I know, yes I know, yes I know this simply just ain't enough Words into a question lead to problems that just won't make the grade With a broken new solution leaves one feeling all depressed and ashamed But you can't understand what it means always losing the faith When the frame of your mind don't agree with the look on your face Mary, You got me feeling like I'm losing my mind I search for answers in this bottle of wine And now my cup is empty And Mary, I got the words but I don't know what to say Ain't got the nerves but hey today is my day So baby come home to me Come home to me

I watched your body and I let your soul fall down on me 'til the rain came pouring down And I kept your secrets the worst I buried down beneath honey once again Yet still your mama well she kissed me right upon the cheek if she only knew just where her little daughter well she lays her heavy head to sleep honey that would end Cause I've been down this road before and I ain't going back no more see me as I'm waving you good bye I said bye, bye, bye my little girl it's time you leave this cruel old world Cause its a long hard road to hell, said its a long hard road to hell It's a long hard road to a Hey California I hear you callin' me I left your body and I watched the floors fall out beneath til the train came rollin' And I love the way it sounds you know it turns me upside down you know I think that its calling me suga once again Cause I've been down this road before and I ain't going back no more See me as I'm waving you good bye I said bye, bye, bye my little girl It's time you leave this cruel old world Cause its a long hard road to hell, said its a long hard road to hell It's a long hard road to a Hey California I hear you... Callin' out my name down upon this street again and so I say let this begin so I can find my way home so I can find my way home so I can find my way home so I can find my way home on back to you I watched your body and I let your soul fall down on me til the train came rollin' and I love the way it sounds you know it, it turned me upside down you know I think that its callin' me honey once again Cause I've been down this road before and I ain't going back no more see me as I'm barely getting by I said bye, bye, bye my little girl It's time you leave, its time you leave this world Cause it's a long hard road to hell, Said its a long hard road to hell It's a long hard road to a Hey California I hear you...

Salty Wine 03:57
Behold a faulty mind Isn't all that hard just to break the concentration Release the birds from my cage But it fits so well these days With the big bad world pressing down upon my shoulder Shut down, unplug, and let go go go go, let it go Yet still it chips away When you got no one who can give your life some meaning You just can't make it alone Only love can save you now and it may disappear somehow so use your lungs and shout out loud And if you open up your ears and somber tones is all you hear Well only love can save you now Break bread with whom I will Cause I stake my faith on the ones that I can lean on They put the wind in my sail So listen Every dog has his day So I take my licks and embrace the situation Cling to the will that I've known Only love can save you now and it may disappear somehow so use your lungs and shout out loud And if you open up your ears and sombre tones is all you hear Well only love can save you now Well I Sip the wine and feel it taking over And I breathe you in ever slow Cause there's a feeling coming over Let it go go go go go go Let it go

Walkin' through the chambers in the Valley of Woe Here where the people that you meet will start your blood running cold And the sweetest dreams you'll ever have are out of your control So brother keep on moving Cause the time is getting ripe to pick the fruit from the tree Here in the stillness of evening where its too dark to breathe And this single brick of mortar here is separating me from 'scapin out this prison oh no Now you best to listen closely, these are words to adhere Cause whether you're fully in support or if it's all insincere Well listen closely to the devil when he's whispering in you ear You know his ways are proven because Southbound train is flowing over And there ain't no room for you So take your shots now run for cover Now whats the line you measure to? In awhile, you'll be surrounded for miles so brother please take care And when the water falls upon you, don't forget to come up for air Marchin' through the valley in the wind and the cold Here where the wickedness you see will chip away at your soul And there ain't no use in separating friends from the foes So brother keep on moving Cause we speak in cryptic phrase so stay gone, so stay gone And there's a feeling that I'm under but its wrong hey its wrong Now listen closely darling to the words that come out, Now let it out because Southbound train is flowing over And there ain't no room for you So take your shots now run for cover Now whats the line you measure to? In awhile, you'll be surrounded for miles so brother please take care And when the water falls upon you, don't forget to come up for air Lost inside the chambers of the Valley of Woe Here where the humans and the beasts have a reversal of roles And there ain't no chance in running from the bell as it tolls So brother keep on moving oh no

The Light 06:27
I was once in tune with the sentimental blues that kept you lonely But I have heard that one before, hundred times or maybe more, and so it goes And I've been trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight Still this attitude won't get me nowhere But to the bottom of a bottle and there's There's something in the way Of the madness you portray that so alluring Your body crashes on the scene like some broken down Machine, so cold and frail But still I'm trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight Still this attitude won't get me nowhere But to the bottom of a notion I can't hide Cause its something so contagious Each time you bat your eyes And though this feeling is dangerous The pull is too strong to deny Cause I've been here awhile and I know what its like to be alone And there's a fear in the lies that fall together in time To show that I'm not listening no more I have read your face and my baby I can't trace what makes me want you With a shot so straight and sure, and a mind so insecure, I need to know But still I'm trying awful hard to simply let you down tonight And still this attitude won't get me nowhere But to the bottom of a bottle in this dive Cause it's something so contageous Each time you bat your eyes And though this feeling is dangerous The pull is too strong to deny Cause I've been here awhile and I know what its like to be alone And there's a fear in the lies that fall together in time To show that I'm not listening no more Now every one is tunin' out the radio, but we don't mind We got the birds singing summer's song in the sweet sunshine. And there ain't no clouds in sight so best to take it slow, this I'm sure That this feelin' will be ours as long as we got the light
