Oh the smoke came from the chimney And the light danced on the wall I said the smoke came from the chimney And that light danced on the wall Oh that poor boy was shakin’ When death came by to call (And call he did) Oh those men who came before me Have all come and gone I said those men who came before me They’ve all come and gone Oh my turn is awaitin’ For my life to be withdrawn Oh the wind is always blowin’ And time keeps passin’ by I said the wind is always blowin’ And life keeps slippin’ by Oh the warden will kill me In the hot July

Thinkin’ back on this blue-eyed highway Gonna take a drink back on this mortal fray It’s busy here in this juke joint we play It’s crowded here in every place we stay Learn the words, we learn the chords We learn the stage has been restored Oh it’s a big easy and loving reward And it’s busy here on this blue-eyed record We play it once We play it again Bright lights fade We play it and then Oh one last bottle of champagne Love the world, loves insane I wanna take you out with me I wanna take you down with me With me

I remember the day you cried We said it would be ok, but we lied And in the end you opened you eyes You never wanted, never wanted to die When Sylvia said goodbye Something inside of me died Like a tree bending over my eyes The day Sylvia said goodbye The pain’s not over It still plays in my head An empty spot Where your heart had once bled A little sorrow Or that’s what they said But they don’t know I was halfway dead We were not made for this world And our hearts would dry up and curl And in the end our blood would unfurl But it’s too late to save you girl

I don’t hear you singing like you’ve never sung before I only hear you whispering from behind your bedroom door You used to always sing so proud—it used to make me smile But now you never sing anymore and haven’t in a while Gabe is on his lead guitar playing his music proud He’s up there all alone not scared upon his highest cloud But he wished away all his rights when he plugged himself in And now he’s all scared alone, dying from his sin Katie’s gonna play her piana before she goes away She’s gonna take a plane so high and land upon a cay But she doesn’t have the perfect chords to land upon the ground And so she’s gonna cry in shame—such a pretty sound A lovely little tweak of nature like lovers made of mud I can hear you singing now like the vultures in your blood Such a little deadly excursion to take it in your veins When it follows sound’s advice around and down the drain We—we love the ride When sound sits upon our side We—we love the way you play Now listen—life will always say and go away —life will always roam, we’re goin’ home

Love In Vain 03:44
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand, And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand. Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain, All my love's in vain. When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye, When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her in the eye. Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry. All my love's in vain. When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind, When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind, Well, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was my mind. All my love's in vain.

Beirut Blues 03:52
A long, long way from home I came here on a play I said a long, long way from home oh baby And I flew here on a plane The sky kisses the sea here As I cross the Mediterrane I can’t say with precision If there’s a sole voice to tell I can’t say anymore than you can What the soul voice tells It’s a long, long time of destruction And only the strongest sell When we comin’ back here? When we gonna find our way? Oh when we comin’ back here oh baby? And when we gonna find our way We can’t ever leave this place here But they won’t let us stay So let’s go down to the sea then Let’s wash those pretty waves I said let’s go down to the sea oh baby And wash in those filthy waves It’s just one last day of destruction And we’ll find our favorite grave

Down Home 03:12
Goin' down baby to the end of the line Gonna go home where the women shine I said goin' down baby Goin' home baby Gonna take a chance one more time Gonna take the back door with the neon sign (that's right now) They're waitin' for me here at the front of the bar Gonna take a bow as I exit the car I said they're waitin' for me baby Waitin' for me baby I may have been gone but not very far Just long enough that it left a scar (that's right now) Goin' down baby to the end of the street Gonna go home for that whiskey treat I said goin' down baby Goin' home baby Gonna take a chance that we might meet Goin' home baby where my heart skips a beat (that's right now)

Wadin' through the waste stormy winter, And there's not a friend to help you through. Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs, Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues. Thank you for your wine, California, Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits. Yes I got the desert in my toenail And I hid the speed inside my shoe. But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, Come on, honey child, I beg of you. Come on, come on down, you got it in ya. Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes. I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, I want you come on, honey child, I beg of you. . I want you come on, honey child you got it in you. Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes. But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, Come on, come on down, I beg of you. Come on, come on down, you got it in you. Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes.

Oh where’d you go that 3 AM? I don’t know where you’ve gone, but I know where you’ve been I said now where’d you go that 3 AM? It could be anywhere for a punked out bluesy femme I said now let’s go down to Cave Hill Oh we’ve been out cold on Capital Hill The stage sits empty, we’re drinkin’ only swill I said we’ve been out cold on Capital Hill We’ve said our last goodbyes, we sang in Louisville Let’s go down to Cave Hill I wish we could’ve met in 1993 I don’t know what I’d say, I don’t know if I’d see I said I wish we could’ve met in 1993 But it’s dark back there, it’s even darker for me Let’s go down to Cave Hill Oh it’s never easy down in Jimmy’s Club And it’s never easy when you leave the pub I said it’s never easy way down in Jimmy’s Club I don’t know what it’s like to feed a flowering shrub You died on the cross for a devious man You can’t be found Oh where’d you go? I need you here For one last show It’s cold down there baby Where you be now And it’s cold up here When you said ciao Last one
11.
Let’s turn the other way And then let’s burn our bridges down Take another drink Before we’re six feet underground Have another something While we’re doing ourselves in Let’s have another drag Before we’re paying for these sins Driving down the highway Going ninety over five Playing our rock n roll Because we know we feel alive How long before we crash And smash our pretty heads Let’s turn the music up Before the road done make us dead We love to hear the crashes As they happen all around We love to hear the saxes As we in whiskey drown Have another something That can take us deeper in Let’s have another kiss Before the road done steals our skin
12.
You’re runnin’ your fingers through my hair As we’re drinkin’ down on the beach Oh girl I know, I know that you love me I can hear it in your speech Girl I know that you love me I can hear it Baby tell me that you love me So we can go, go down slow Oh baby tell me that you love me So we can go way down low Oh girl I know, I know that you love me When we go down to Mexico Baby now that you’ve found me And we’ve found a place to go And now, now that you’ve found me And we’ve found a place to go Baby tell me that you love me And we’ll go down to Mexico
13.
Oh baby Can’t take my eyes right off of you Yeah baby Can’t take these eyes right off of you But I don’t want you to love me ‘cause I got too much to lose Oh baby When you gonna come play me a sound? Yeah baby When you gonna come and play a sound But I don’t want you to love me We’re only here to play around

Train 09:25
Riding the train to hell I said we’re riding the train to hell It’s cold here along the knell, oh baby When we’re riding the train to hell I can’t remember what they told us we should do Because I said my last farewell I’m takin’ the chance to tell I said I’m takin’ the chance to tell I don’t know if we should rebel, oh baby When we’re riding the train to hell It doesn’t matter if they told us we’ll survive Because I said my last farewell Let’s take another trip below I said we’ll take another trip below To a place where the rain won’t glow, oh baby Takin’ that trip below We can’t forget the world that we have left behind Because the train don’t run, it flows We be ridin’ this train to hell, oh yeah Ridin’ the train to hell The tracks done recently fell, oh baby And our cells begin to swell Knock another time on heaven’s pretty walls But this swirl is our last spell
