oh lord bring me down to the cold dark ground to the cold dark ground by my brother's side life's too weary in the fields of misery fields of misery in these modern times when i was young i was might as a mountain mighty as a mountain from the fattest soil now i am old as the trees by the meadows losing all my leaves winter's taking it's tole i will sleep at ease when my body lies beneath

Bed Talk 06:09
today love's gonna take a backseat to love making in the summer heat i'm not made of the stuff of stories so keep on begging me to stay close while i'm nibbling on your collar bone i'll still be a city away in the morning and tonight love's gonna give the stage floor to the rattle of the head board you're not turning away a pretty sound open your mouth and i'll keep quickening your breathing while you're make believing you're still sharing your bed tonight don't write to me don't write even though you had a good night friend doesn't mean you gotta call me again i don't wanna give you anything i need even though you're banging on my door doesn't mean you gotta make your fingers bleed don't write to me don't write to me my body is here but my mind's on the frontier spread all your hours in the shower if you need to mocking yourself hugging the drain the lover you quake for simmering in your bed sores all over town you sleep walk bed talking to yourself keeps your bad health at eye level i'm the devil don't write good night to you don't write (sleep walk bed talking to yourself) at eye level i'm the devil

Goodbye City 04:04
goodbye city goodbye your sky goodbye all the love that i'll ever need for pages goodbye 23 goodbye food on the table all of the time goodbye running around and screwing around and getting caught with your pants down for ages something i remember i'm a needle in a hay barn when i'm walking through you in the dark through the park so i thank you i love you miss you kisses i'll come back to get you hello country hello industry hello fighting that machine only to wake up feeding it hello many doors hello blurring all the lines that had such clarity before hello sleeping around and cheaping around and getting caught with the fence down what a nuisance then i still remember i'm a droplet in an ocean when i think about all that your doing all that you got going on my head is a ribbon unwrapping unraveling itself until it's gone when i think about all that your doing all that you've got going on oh my how sweet it is to carry you whether i stick around or leave oh my how new it is next to you whether i'm on or off my feat oh my how human it was to know whether you brought me peace of mind or ate my insides oh my how sweet it is to carry you may you lay in the words that get air play in those words may you lay

Legacy 04:25
these tombs are kind of gaudy you were smart to burn your body you found a nice tree to lay upon the old gang they send their love to you a couple of them are having a kid or two their lives just keep building on and building on i was falling asleep in my car when i thought i heard your voice on npr again yet you're silent when i visit you you couldn't hold a tune before you were gone now you're haunting rhythms in my songs even last week even yesterday and now even now you are something to talk about even after the anecdote is taken out even when you left town your spirit's a spray can street art tagging the city's broken heart even yesterday even now i'll cut a couple of holes in my sheets if you promise to come and visit me hell you can even stay i'm always looking around for your finger prints there's a lot of places you have been even last week even yesterday and now even now you are something to talk about even after the anecdote is taken out even when you left town

Heads Down 04:02
oh my god we killed a man thought that was a six shooter in his hand not a bouquet of flowers for you funny how a six shooter looks like flowers do get in the house jess grab your shit cut up your i.d. run with it pull all your cash out of the bank make it a point to carry everything you take along with you forever and sitting it down never for morning is upon us now here's to keeping our heads down and saying goodbye to the music put on the news i think it's clear the law is a little bit slow round here man i always wanted to move out west but i never thought it'd be the day i was running sell all my clothes and cut your hair cover your tracks man i don't care what kind of name should i break out maybe the kind that makes me sound like i'm honest honest not someone who has no friends but you for morning is upon us now here's to keeping our heads down and saying goodbye to the music and saying hello to the future all over a six shooter

i'm a bucket of thunder when i hear the good word wild winds prickling my skin like lightening i'm ready to make love when i breath in the home front tried my best to contain it but the jig is up heart pumping heart thumbing i must pick up all the passions you left by put em into rations and set em on fire dirty the dishes your gonna put food on them anyway make a decision i don't have any interest in pissing this high away and i'm a bucket of thunder when i hear the good word wild winds prickling my skin like lightening baby why you frowning why so faded cynical america's so outdated dirty the bathwater you've got grime outstaying it's welcome dirtying cash dollar giving me pains into my sides and helping me seldom

well i don't know when i'm coming home but i'm coming home real soon goodnight my love goodnight goodnight my love for i am with you always always though you don't know me and i will keep you steady and strong give you a song when you are dreaming and you are with me always always though i don't know you but i will meet you when i get to heaven on the mountain so throw all your stones off the edge of the cliff i'll be waiting there to catch them in the belly of the abyss haunting you wondering what you look like and shout in the tunnels with the words you need every sound that you utter is a tired ghost making that crossover through the concrete then i heard the ground humming below my fee like a tiger you had to have been there to hear it like a sacred heart choir i heard the ground humming i heard the ground drumming and drumming so loud it made my heart beat harder than ever before
