On the bridge out of Hammond. See them brake lights burning feel my motor turnin. On the bridge out of Hammond. See the big city moon. See how it close comes (x2).
Help does not just walk up to you I could have told you that. I'm not an idiot. I could have told you that. In every serpent's eye watch you go where you go.
It'll get so quiet when this record ends. You can hear the first hour of the world. You can hear the willow branches touch the wave. Write our names beside our Darlings' heart.
Two blue lights. One's the blue light of the late night bus. One's the blue light of the moon over us. One's got the diesel fuel on her breath. One's got the damp taste of the earth on it.
Got my window open in the southern cross hotel. It's been my longest night I can tell. By the way I'm not surprised. To see the desert cover over paradise.
When I die put my bones in an empty street to remind me of how it used to be. Don't write my name on a stone bring a Coleman lantern and a radio. Cleveland game and two fishing poles and watch with me from the shore.
No matter how dark the storm gets overhead. They say someone's watching from the calm at the edge. What about us when we're down here in it. We gotta watch our own backs.
Old Black Hen is that you again. singing the Bad Luck Lullaby. Come right on in, it's midnight again. Time for the Bad Luck Lullaby. You know the one it's the same one you sung.
Gwendolyn I wonder what you'd've called them. I think a name you might choose is Nobody's Blues. You see when you are just a kid. They think you won't remember what they did.
You never hear me talk about. One day getting out. Why put a new address. On the same old loneliness. Everybody knows where that is. We built that house of his.
I stood on the 66 highway. I stood on the 66 highway. Wysteria, Magnolia beside the green line track. Said Don't Come Back. . I found myself standing on the mountain.
While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors. You've got a whole lot of things I don't think. That you could ever have paid for. While you've been busy crying.
Hold on Magnolia to that great highway moon. No one has to be that strong. But if you're stubborn like me. I know what you're trying to be. Hold on Magnolia, I hear that station bell ring.
The whole place is dark. Every light on this side of the town. Suddenly it all went down. Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun. Now we will all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon.
Departure and worry. And worry, and worry. Still shake me. Resistance failed. . Resistance failed. And friendship failed. And friendship failed. As lovers we did not fail.
It's been hard doing anything. Winter stuck around so long. I kept trying anyhow, and I'm still trying now. Just to keep working. . I remember when it didn't use to be so hard.
you used to say i had what it takes. i think i did if you meant to little to late. by the looks that im getting i made some big mistakes. and i thought you said i was great.
Broke my heart to leave the city. I mean it broke what wasn't broken in there already. Thought of all my great reasons for leaving. Now I can't think of any.
six and a half hours into the west virginia night. half a mile from home and i was makin' pretty good time. thought that i'd gone far enough i couldn't lose the trail.
Something held me down it made me make a promise. That I wouldnt tell if the truth forgets about us. Saying it now comes easily. After finding out how youve been using me.
