I Waited All Night

I waited all night for something true
I waited all night to only lose
My heart of expectation
Was it love or a revelation
Come on too soon
I waited all night for a glimpse of you
So let me have one last look
Into the eyes of a prize of a better man
I’m begging you please
And I couldn't think any less of you
For drifting off
After we judged ourselves to death
Yeah, we're drifting off
Is it with love or jubilation
That we knew each other's ticks
Is it with shame or hesitation
That we gambled on those tricks
I waited all night for a glimpse of you
So let me have one last look
Into the eyes of a prize of a better man
I’m begging you please
Let me have one last look

Forgive the bugs in my bed
Forgive the feeling
That grasps and clasps feeling, I know too well
Ultra tight feeling, a personal hell
When it comes, it's such a strange seducation
I lose my powers, babe
That grasps and clasps feeling, I know too well
Ultra tight feeling, a personal hell
It's some weird science, a love affair
Some weird science, but you know
The chemicals, they never care
So, come on, love
Come take a chance
Make me just another
Take me under cover
Some place you know, baby
Where you're tickled thinking
Some place I know, baby
Somewhere we can sink in
An ocean floor, your teenage bedroom
It's a comfort thing, I know
Some place you know, baby
Where you're tickled thinking
Some place I know, baby
Somewhere we can sink in
It's some weird science, a love affair
Some weird science but you know
The chemicals, they never care
So, come on, love
Come take a chance

You see courage, I see rain
You see the gravel, I hear it clank
When it's over, you ask what remains
You see a heart, I hear it faint
Well, baby breathe, just wait for me
And I hope you remember the night we met
Stale coffee and sweet, sweet cigarettes
And I see the sunshine past the highway
It's telling me to drive a little bit faster now
Well, baby breathe, just wait for me
And I hope you remember the night we met
Stale coffee and sweet, sweet cigarettes

Jonesboro Score
02:13

Doubt his christian merits
How he gloats in the light
Doubt his teenage wisdom
And his nine-to-five
You can doubt his words
Those tepid tales
But never doubt his will
Those shaky hands
But the boy, yeah, he's got his misgivings
A vodka past and a jonesboro score
You know, I leave it to doubt
(Lemme tell you a little something else)
There he stands on the rock
Carrying his conversation
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
But the boy, yeah, he's got his misgivings
A vodka past and a jonesboro score
You know, I’ll leave it to doubt

Hannah is a palindrome
She's the same way up and down
And she's waiting for her gentleman
To take her on his merry-go-round
And it's getting disfigured
All blurry in the rain
Take a tissue, baby
Your dress is turning grey
Don't take offense, love
I know nothing of the end
Well, you're all dolled up
And at least that's something
Hannah is a palindrome
She's the same way side to side
And if you ever let her know
You know she'll tell you another lie
Now Hannah's feeling strange
Like she's seen this scene before
She never knew a hard bed
Until she knew the tile floor
And it's getting disfigured
All blurry in the rain
Take a tissue, baby
Your dress is turning grey
Don't take offense, love
I know nothing of the end
Well, you're all dolled up
And at least that's something
All dolled up, nowhere to go
All dolled up, and don't you know
It don't feel right, baby, no
She says I never met a man who I didn't love
I never met a man who I didn't love
And I guess that never meant too much anyway

Spending the time like dollars I found on the sidewalk
Waiting for the wind to blow this whole roof off
And the insects play their little games
They look from a wall
If you're wondering if you can
If you're wondering, always
Making muddy conversation to your palms
Drive around circles but only ask for alms
What am I without a steady someone to flip on the t.v
If you're wondering if you can
If you wondering, always

Stadium Heart
03:14

Mariah said it best I'm a fool without you
But I'm just a sucker for dramatic exits
Headaches and sweets, got a couple of both
And I have a knack for not telling you this now
I lost all my tunes, and I'm here without you
In a shotgun shack down the avenue
Costello where you been, I'm waiting all alone
The lamp near my bed is staying on tonight
Roman and red, full of stadium heart
And I have a knack for not making it right now
I lost all my tunes, and I'm here without you
In a shotgun shack down the avenue
I gave you an arm, you wanted a leg
I asked you please, you told me to beg
I'm just a sucker for dramatic exits
And I have a knack for not telling you this now
I lost all my tunes, and I'm here without you
In a shotgun shack down the avenue

It always begins there
You're waiting for your answers
And all I've got are your hands
And all I've got are receipts
I'll take you to the pond
Where the water's ankle-deep
And I'll take you to the pond
If it means that much
And it is strange
To ask your hand again
After all that's been said
After all that's been
I think it's strange
You can't stay in your room
With me out here wondering
Cause when I don't have nothing else
I'll listen to your every move
Cause when I don't have nothing else
You caught me listening
And it is strange
To ask your hand again
After all that's been said
After all that's been
I think it's strange
And I promised till October
I promised you a better view
And I promised till October
Then I wrote another song for you
Then I wrote another song

Ain't it just like whipping boy when he's down on the floor
Showing his pride and asking for more
And you feel like the running man or is it Joan or Arc
See the sticks on the stake but you can't feel your heart
You want us to stare, but the blood's too much
Seeping out your veins as you feel death's cut
Ain't it just like the whipping boy when he's down on the floor
Showing his pride and asking for more
Ain't it just like the leader man to chew up the scenery
Drink up your booze and interrupt your speech
And you feel like the running man or is it Joan or Arc
See the sticks on the stake but you can't feel your heart
As you feel death's cut, as you feel death

The Dust Will Rise Again
04:02
|

Tell your children to go back to their rooms
To cover their ears and close their eyes
It'll be over in a minute or two
It'll be over soon
Board your windows and leave no cracks
Turn off the lights and share a sacred laugh
Don't listen to the creeping wind
Cause the dust will rise, will rise again
Our houses will stand in the sunlight
Men will breathe and women will cry
If only for a second, only for a second
And the dust will rise, will rise again
There's no hell, you have to believe
And we can't prepare for the feeling
With a smile and kiss, we remember regret
And the dust will rise, will rise again

Storm Song

Outside it's raining and I think it's funny
There's a storm cloud in my head, too
Outside it's raining and they say it's flooding
And I don't know if I can move
I want to stay here, here always
In my head, where I left it
I used to wish for days like this
I thought it'd help me sleep
But I'm just a bag of nerves
I used to wish for days like this
I thought it'd help me sleep
But just like counting sheep
It never hurts, but never works
Never hurts, but never works
And oh, I'm rambling again
I want to stay here, here always
In my head, where I left it

Cheap Jokes

Cocky and carefree, I was in your shoes
Fuck the man's message, we got nothing to lose
Do you wanna be a man or a local punk
And I had never heard anything so rude
Shit gets steep when you're fresh out of clues
And your only response is your youth
And I had dreams of being famous but that was way back then
And I had dreams for awhile, babe
But now I'm happy to pretend, all over again
True romance is a vigil, don't you get it
True romance has a purpose, can't you see
The only thing that's loving you is underneath your feet
Brought me down, fresh from outer space
Where the only things I saw were god
And rows of blank happy stars
And I had dreams of being famous but that was way back then
And I had dreams for awhile, babe
But now I'm happy to pretend, all over again
Sometimes, I get the feeling that the feelings
Don't make much sense anymore
Now I'm dressed for doom
Nailed to the floor
Sometimes, I get the feeling that the feelings
Don't make much sense anymore
So I pack a smoke
And I ponder cheap jokes
Sometimes, I get the feeling that the feelings
Don't make much sense anymore, oh lord

In the Fury of Our Night

In the fury of our night, I walk away
When you blowing like a cloud
Only bringing rain
Your thunder made a fire
Flames throughout the day
In the fury of our night, I walk away
Through the depths of the halls
To the basement neath the sink
I hear you through the walls
Talking about what you see
In the fury of our night, I walk away
Now dawn is coming
I'm up the stairs
You're surrounded, honey
By the ash and sunrise air
In the fury of our night, you're still there
In the fury of our night I walk away
