Mexican Home
It got so hot, last night, I swear
You couldnt hardly breathe
Heat lightning burnt the sky like alcohol
I sat on the porch without my shoes
And I watched the cars roll by
As the headlights raced
To the corner of the kitchen wall.
Chorus:
Mama dear
Your boy is here
Far across the sea
Waiting for
That sacred core
That burns inside of me
And I feel a storm
All wet and warm
Not ten miles away
Approaching
My mexican home.
My god! I cried, its so hot inside
You could die in the living room
Take the fan from the window
Prop the door back with a broom
The cuckoo clock has died of shock
And the windows feel no pane
The airs as still
As the throttle on a funeral train.
Chorus:
My father died on the porch outside
On an august afternoon
I sipped bourbon and cried
With a friend by the light of the moon
So its hurry! hurry! step right up
Its a matter of life or death
The sun is going down
And the moon is just holding its breath.
Chorus:

Together
Something just isn't right
I can feel it inside
The truth isn't far behind me
You can't deny
When I turn the lights out
When I close my eyes
Reality overcomes me
I'm living a lie
(Pre Chorus)
When I'm alone I
Feel so much better
And when Im around you
I don't feel at all
(Chorus)
Together
It doesn't feel right at all
Together
Together we built a wall
Together
Holding hands we'll fall
Hands we'll fall
This has gone on so long
I realize that I need
Something good to rely on
Something for me
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
My heart is broken
I'm lying here
My thoughts are choking on you my dear
On you my dear
On you my dear
(Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together
I don't feel together
When I'm around you
When I'm around you
I don't feel together, no
I don't feel together

I Saw The Light
I laid a red rose
On your front porch
Wrote I love you
On a note
I rang the door bell
And turned to go
Baby when the curtains moved
I couldnt believe the view
(chorus)
I saw the light in your window tonight
I saw two shadows holding each other tight
I know the truth when I look in your eyes
I saw the light in your window tonight
So take your cheatin? hands
Off my red dress
cause I aint wearin?
This thing for you
I see you clearly now
And your lies too
They say that love is blind
Baby not this time
(repeat chorus)
Why baby why, should I listen to you?
I cried, baby, cried, now Im walking out the door
They say that love is blind, baby, not this time
(repeat chorus)

The Room
(chris waters/tom shapiro)
When I pull in the drive where your car used to be
It doesnt hurt me like it used to
I can walk through the door, and not wonder anymore
Where you are, like I used to
I can go down the hall, see the pictures on the wall
And not miss you
But I just cant bring myself to go into..
The room
Where I spent every night with you
And the light of the moon
Came through the window
And I held you
We were so close
And its just too soon
For me to go into the room
Id remember too much if I opened that door
And Im not sure if I could face it
The beds emptiness would remind me youre with
Someone else, and I couldnt take it
So, I sleep on the couch in our living room now
Since our love died
cause Im still not ready yet to go inside...
The room
Where I spent every night with you
And the light of the moon
Came through the window
And I held you
We were so close
And its just too soon
For me to go into the room
Where the light of the moon
Came through the window
And I held you
We were so close
And its just too soon
For me to go into the room

Youre Right Im Wrong
Chorus:
Youre right, Im wrong
Im here, youre gone
Now Im the one to blame
That our loves at an end
I lied, you cried
I died inside
Now Ill do anything
To get you back again
Step by step, night after night
I walk the floor till morning light
Your leaving words still haunt my mind
Cause Im the fool who made you say goodbye

Day by day, time after time
I did not see the warning signs
Now my beating heart keeps telling me
It hurts to know that I caused you to leave

I'm In A Hurry
Chorus
I'm in a hurry to get things done
(oh,) i rush & rush until life's no fun
All i really gotta do is live & die
But, i'm in a hurry & don't know why
Don't know why
I have to drive so fast
My car has nothing to prove
It's not new, but it'll 0-60 in 5.2, oh

Can't be late
I leave in plenty of time
Shakin' hands with the clock

It says i'm running behind
I better pick up my pace
It's a race & there ain't no room for someone in 2nd place

Hurry Come On Up
[Chorus:]
Hey, you, hurry come up
See how fast you come down
You run up your mouth
You run out of luck
You're running out of town
Hurry come up now you're all alone
You had to kick dirt on your stepping stone
You lost your way across the land
Foundations crumble built on shifting sand
[Chorus]
Hurry come up in the blink of an eye
You crowned yourself king of the castle high
You'll never get to heaven if you tell a lie
There's a hole in your bucket and your well's run dry
[Chorus]
Hurry come up we've got nothing to say
We sit back and watch you give yourself away
Where's all the power now they've pulled the plug
You're up to your neck in the hole you dug
[Chorus]
Hurry come up your edges are rough
We need a little love ain't life tough enough
There's no coming back your ticket's one way
Your journey don't start till judgement day
[Chorus]
Hurry come up just a fast as you can
Time's running out for your master plan
Cards on the table enough is enough
They hold the aces now they call your bluff
[Chorus]
Hurry come up when you turn off the light
How do you sleep in your bed at night
It's all a bad dream but no-one can hear
You only have yourself to fear

Chinatown
Bury a jar of shao-sing
When the girl is born
Surely you know the wine will age
Till shes fully grown
Dont fly into the night
Soon enough the world will end
While the lantern is right
Chorus
I could find a good time girl in chinatown
Chinatown
Dancing in my shoes
See the eastern ladies walking chinatown
Chinatown
Chain me down
Chinatown
Maybe ill drink your jasmine tea
Then ill hurry home
Surely you know the likes of me
Should be left alone
Why they like a me for
Soon enough the world will end
If I answer the door
Chorus
Look at the tall pagoda through
Through your window pane
Watching it by your dragon night
On a cocoa day
Youll discover the white
Orchids in my humble moon
While the lantern is right

Busted
I forgot when words were only words
She knows the party makes me nervous
In this stage we cant get hurt
Dont try to understand me
Were too cool to be alone
But, not too crazy to get busted
I found out one life just aint enough
I need another soul to feed on
Im the flame I cant get burnt
Im wholly understated
I found silence in this space
An on and off again attraction
I need such amazing grace
Heaven sweep me away
(chorus)
Love dont change, dont come around here
Dont wear my heart on your sleeve
Like a high school letter
Dont strain, cuz nothin ever comes from it
And the people weve become, well
I strap on one horse and prayed for luck
I dug another hole to bleed
I know exactly how this works
I need a new feel dirty
I dont need you crowdin up my space
I just want to get inside you
You cant believe the heart you save
Giving something away
(chorus)
I dream that the world was crumbling down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
I dream that the buildings all fell down
We sat on my back porch and watched it
In my head I heard this sound
Like fifteen strangers dancing
But oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I want you to know me
Oh how I wish I was somebody else, baby
Oh how I wish you could own me

Take Me Back
(john hobbs, jerry fuller)
Now and then I open up a trunk full of old souvenirs
Thumb through a scrapbook holding back the tears
I keep wishing we could do it once more
Just the way we did before
Chorus:
Take me back to sycamore park
Put the radio dial on the golden oldies
Hey lay a blanket down and hold me
We can stay all night
By the light of the moon above
So take me back, back to love
Ever since you took me to the big city
Looking for the start
Living in the fast lane
Is tearing us apart
Sometimes dont you want to trade it all in
For a little way back when
Repeat chorus
Well I remember sneaking out the back
Mama thought I was asleep
Watching for your headlights
Creeping down the street
Trying to steal a kiss
Just anyway we can
Back where it all began
Repeat chorus x2

Im Going Home
Mama please dont go
Wont you stay here for one more day
Ive been your boy for so long now
Theres so much I still have to say
Sky rips open, and I hold my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night, and I listened
As I heard the angels sing
Chorus:
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Sha la la la sha la la la, Im going home.
Something inside makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy
Hell be alright, hes by my side
Hes no little boy, hes my pride and joy
Repeat chorus
Summer on the radio and the phone rings
And it was jeanette
She said boy we had to let her go
I begged her no, no not yet
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
I guess its part of someones master plan
I see you laughing, youre my best friend
Youre the light of the lamb, and I cried
As the angels sing

Shut Out The Light
The runway rushed up at him, as he felt the wheels touch down
He stood out on the blacktop, and took a taxi into town.
He got off down on main street, and went into a local bar
Bought a drink and found a seat in the corner in the dark
She called up her mama to make sure the kids were outa the house
She checked herself out in the dining room mirror,
And undid an extra button on her blouse
He felt her lyin next to him and the clock said 4 am
He was starin at the ceilin he couldnt move his hands
{chorus}: oh mama, mama, mama come quick, Ive got the shakes and
Im gonna be sick, throw your arms around me in the cold dark night,
Hey now mama dont shut out the light, dont you shut out the light,....
Well on his porch they stretched a banner, that said johnny welcome home
Bobby pulled his ford outa the garage and they polished up the chrome
His mama said johnny oh johnny, Im so glad to have you back with me
His pa said he was sure theyd give him his job back at the renderin factory
{repeat chorus}
Well deep in a dark forest, a forest filled with rain
Beyond a stretch of maryland pines theres a river without a name
In the cold black water, johnson linnier stands
He stares across the lights of the city and dreams of where hes been.

Plastic faces suck me dry, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine

Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon - (repeat chorus)
Twenty eight, suffocate
Take a ride, see me fly
Detonate, feel it break

So catch me as I fall away, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine

The Blue Train
Watching the long faces
Riding this run down track
And the lost places
From a dream that never brings them back
And the sad truth is
Nothing but a cold hard fact
Chorus:
Im riding the blue train
Over the miles yet to cover
A ghost in a hurry to fade
Im taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train
Counting the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages
Scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace
Falling from around my neck
Repeat chorus
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown

Summer Breeze
See the curtains hanging in the window
In the evening on a Friday night
A little light a-shining through the window
Lets me know everythings alright
CHORUS:
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowing through the jasmine in my mind
See the paper lying on the sidewalk
A little music from the house next door
So I walk on up to the door step
Through the screen and across the floor
Repeat chorus
Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
When I come home from a hard days work
And you're waiting there, not a care in the world
See the smile a-waiting in the kitchen
Food cooking and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

You Say
Here in the light
It burns you up inside
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on
Too much listening
Not enough living
Chorus
And you say
What did I say
What did you say
We just
Go away
Go away
Go away
It helps you out
Knowing Im left out
Locked in a box with a light
That wont shine
Turn it on and wait for
Someone to come
Chorus
Im here now
Waiting
Holding on to reasons
Wasted
I faced it
Watching you deny me
Here in the light
It burns you out sometimes
Here in the shell of a sun
We echo on
Left alone forever
All alone together

In My Room
I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room
And in my room against the wall
There is picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of the room I know
I sit and wait alone in my room
Chorus
The walls are white and in the night
The room is lit by electric light
I stand and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
The doors are shut and all the windows lock
The only sound is from the clock
I sit and wait alone in my room
