PIGSVILLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

have you ever been to pigsville, honey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

listened to cold water in the mountains of steel shavings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

did you get drunk at the wheelhouse, honey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stealing fifths of whiskey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when you thought noone was listening<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nothing you\u2019ve done to feel ashamed of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

have you ever been to pigsville, honey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

like you did someething evil but the memory is fuzzy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

did you wake up on the carpet, honey?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

next to that chalk outline, next to impossible<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no, there\u2019s nothing you\u2019ve done to feel ashamed of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HELLO TO EVERYBODY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

say hello to everybody<\/p>\n\n\n\n

won\u2019t you say hello for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you see I can\u2019t go back and forth no more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

at least physically<\/p>\n\n\n\n

standing on the hill in tess\u2019 corners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

waiting for the aliens<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to take me to a warmer planet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

where there is no consequence<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sometimes you treat your friendships<\/p>\n\n\n\n

like some kind of pyramid scheme<\/p>\n\n\n\n

do you get some kind of bonus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for everyone you reel in?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

say hello to everybody<\/p>\n\n\n\n

won\u2019t you say hello for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from now on i\u2019ll just imagine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m in the perfect company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it was coming down in buckets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so i duck into the dew drop inn<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i always keep one eye on the door<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you never know, you could spot a friend<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when they fit me for my casket<\/p>\n\n\n\n

what will they say about me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201che met a lot of beautiful places<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and he loved a lot of interesting things\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

say hello to everybody<\/p>\n\n\n\n

won\u2019t you say hello for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

say hello<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRE DOWN BELOW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the texas whirlwind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with the robber\u2019s tag<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we did the grapevine twist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the one night stand<\/p>\n\n\n\n

square pegs in a round world<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when it all comes down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nowhere else to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fire down below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

she had graveyard eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and bedroom tears<\/p>\n\n\n\n

twisted sheets and irrational fears<\/p>\n\n\n\n

she had a bleeding heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and soft money to blow<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nowhere else to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fire down below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fire down below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

poor poor barbarians<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all busting chains<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sweating bullets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

back in the saddle again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we swallow the hook<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and we lit the flames<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nowhere else to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fire down below<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RED BRICK WALL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m standing in the alley with my hands on a red brick wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

seems the more i claim i\u2019m innocent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the guiltier i become<\/p>\n\n\n\n

since you left me baby, i\u2019m never where i belong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

seems no matter how i try<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i just can\u2019t stay out of wrong<\/p>\n\n\n\n

got my hands behind my back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cuffs on my wrist<\/p>\n\n\n\n

forget what i said earlier, baby<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m not into this<\/p>\n\n\n\n

standing in the alley with my hands on a red brick wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

seems the more i claim i\u2019m innocent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the guiltier i become<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on the day of his death i built jfk a shrine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know just how he felt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i get murdered in texas everytime<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE HAND THAT THROWS THE BOTTLE DOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i had long suspected that we\u2019d better be prepared<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to give up on the notion that someone really cared<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018cos we\u2019re walking in the daylight with the odds all stacking up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the hand that throws the bottle down won\u2019t pick it back again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there goes the winner but the race was rigged<\/p>\n\n\n\n

feel like a loser? well the fright was fixed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i don\u2019t believe in fairplay and i don\u2019t believe in luck<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the hand that throws the bottle down won\u2019t pick it back again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if i was born into the fast lane i\u2019d go rollin on through<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and you know i\u2019m never ever going to slow down for you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019ll be looking at a house that costs a million bucks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with a secret little doorway and a ladder i\u2019d pull up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to protect their money men built banks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to protect the money they bought guns and tanks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the barrels are smoking and the chambers are hot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they\u2019re no better than us they just got the better shot<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with one arm tied behind the target on your back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you were born to take the fall you were bred to hit the mat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

don\u2019t expect a helping hand from someone up above<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the hand that throws the bottle down won\u2019t pick it back again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REGRETS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

this world could never find me a place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i can\u2019t make it long without being a disgrace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019ve poured the whole bottle down my neck<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and fallen on my face<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this world could never find me a place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m gonna go out now and make some more regrets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m gonna take out anybody\u2019s face that fits<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019ll drink that whole bottle of whiskey down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

then smash it all to bits<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m gonna go out now and make some more regrets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can\u2019t say i never liked to lose a fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but you crippled me with what you said last night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019ll get that cheating friend of mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then i\u2019ll set you right<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can\u2019t say i ever liked to lose a fight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRAIN BACK IN TIME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

please don\u2019t cry little girl<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this train goes back in time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

returning to the station<\/p>\n\n\n\n

returning there tonight<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cgo away from me, mister<\/p>\n\n\n\n

save your cheer for someone else<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tomorrow\u2019s gone forever<\/p>\n\n\n\n

like some long forgotten wealth\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

although it\u2019s hard to believe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you\u2019ve been showing all the signs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

returning to the station<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this train goes back in time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY OF THE DEAD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

the day of the dead is 24 hours long<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the day of the dead is over for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so sugar sweet, covered with flowers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and little white shells washed up by the sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yes it\u2019s all over, so make a decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n

give up the ghosts now, the ashes and clay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

come on over make a decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pas like a shadow from night into day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

gently gently, you\u2019re moving over<\/p>\n\n\n\n

out of the new world back into the last<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all precious treasures we stood to inherit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are frozen in bank vaults somewehere in the past<\/p>\n\n\n\n

when the dark of night fed you, when the sky clouded over<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could see your glass tremble, the limitless waste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so turn your back on tomorrow and that long black train rolling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pass like a shadow from night into day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BROKEN DOWN ROW<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

take your hand off the deadbolt don\u2019t leave<\/p>\n\n\n\n

wipe the tears from your eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cos i am not your enemy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can\u2019t you see through my disguise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

this cocaine\u2019s got me ugly again i know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i was walking down the middle of the street<\/p>\n\n\n\n

down a broken down row<\/p>\n\n\n\n

saw an old friend i knew long ago<\/p>\n\n\n\n

who had taken his sad life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

said he couldn\u2019t see an end to the pain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the struggling and strife<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tripped on a curb turned round where did he go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i was just coughing and spitting alone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on broken down row<\/p>\n\n\n\n

these streets will be the death of me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

if the bars don\u2019t get me first<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and i won\u2019t get no better, oh no<\/p>\n\n\n\n

before i get much worse<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but now i know i love you, yes i know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

please help me change my life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i can\u2019t move down a broken down row<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOOD FOR ME<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know what\u2019s good for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know what\u2019s good but sometimes it\u2019s good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to do all the other things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know the preacher\u2019s name<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know his name but nobody\u2019s saying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

don\u2019t believe in what you see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i stole your heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and i\u2019m not giving it back<\/p>\n\n\n\n

put it away in a shiny brass box<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i stole your heart<\/p>\n\n\n\n

cantina diablo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the walls are bright red, someone said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i can always find you there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

devil be good to me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i know what\u2019s good but sometimes it\u2019s good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to do all the other things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CORRUPTED<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i am so corrupted<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m in partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with all the guilty treasures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that will sink this rusty ship<\/p>\n\n\n\n

all the sinful cargo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that has dared to call my name<\/p>\n\n\n\n

before it sends me back down<\/p>\n\n\n\n

into the earth from which i came<\/p>\n\n\n\n

red is the colour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of the city i call home<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s the colour of the sky<\/p>\n\n\n\n

above the streets where i roam<\/p>\n\n\n\n

where now is the hour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and the hour is always late<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the future\u2019s a distraction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the past is a big mistake<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he\u2019ll take the hindmost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that devil in me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

he\u2019ll be the death<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of my responsibilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a leap in the dark<\/p>\n\n\n\n

something over the hill<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the devil may care<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but i don\u2019t think i will<\/p>\n\n\n\n

raise your glass. raise your voice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and raise the dead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

life\u2019s run by too fast<\/p>\n\n\n\n

too paint it anything but red<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for a life of sin for a life of sin for a life of sin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there\u2019s no calm before the storm that\u2019s rollin in<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the crack of dawn in the dead of night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the crack of doom<\/p>\n\n\n\n

there\u2019ll be peace in the valley on the dark side of the moon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

on the day that i was born<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no one gave me a map<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but life can be a maze<\/p>\n\n\n\n

yeah and life can be a trap<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m a red rag to all the bull<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019m soaked in blood and wine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

but i\u2019ll paint myself back out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

of this corner everytime<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NORTHWOODS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

old growth gives way to fertile valleys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are you lonely in the house you built<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the city – it reeks of history<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s so dramatic – insignificant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i was born<\/p>\n\n\n\n

foot in my mouth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i was born<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a little too far south<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maybe we could stray off course for good<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in the northwoods<\/p>\n\n\n\n

tall trees, tall buildings and little taverns<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are you lonely in the house you built?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

they say the great ones all have premonitions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and i believe what i see at night<\/p>\n\n\n\n

old growth gives way to fertile valleys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

are you lonely in the house you built<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and now they\u2019re boarding up the project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

could you be content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

is it finally enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

out like a light in the dark of day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a phrase you repeated and then tossed away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

feel the movement over water, the blade through the swell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a taxi driving slowly, backwards into hell<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a grey light is flashing through the lashes to my brain<\/p>\n\n\n\n

like bars on the window of the room where i lay<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from the snap button shirt a pearly eye winks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

red round the edges rolling backwards as we sink<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the whiskey won\u2019t drink me the song will not sing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the bed will ot sleep and we don\u2019t feel a thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

can i tell you my friend, can i call you again<\/p>\n\n\n\n

famous last words this is the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to the top drown in my beer, soak me in wine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that\u2019s why they called bars,\u2019cos they keep me inside<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
