the sinful publications see the haze on commonplace streets you're back in so we walk on different streets taking time, no one seems to notice outside you're all smiles when inside I know you're hurting see the haze on commonplace streets you're back in this crumpled dollar bill in my back pocket reminds me I had twenty what somebody said to someone you think that worries him see the haze on commonplace streets you're back in @SONG: Dead End Angel go to sleep, my dead end angel say good-night dear precious one for I know you're empty-handed and all the police carry guns whisper to me in the morning and I'll kiss your blues away for I know your body's aching and the lynch-mob's on the way just to hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs just to live one single day without a single care go to sleep, my dead end angel say good-night dear precious one for I know you're empty-handed and all the police carry guns just to hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs just to live one single day without a single care go to sleep, my dead end angel say good-night dear precious one for I know you're empty-handed and all the police carry guns and all the police carry guns @SONG: Five Cups Of Coffee when I left you this morning it's just like before you say nothing changes passing time around here stole a long string of pearls and I pawned downtown gonna buy me some good fun back where no one can see and the long black dream is over as the snow falls on and on and it takes five cups of coffee to calm down before I sleep let the sky soak on my clothes way back in the alley all of the red beads mixed up in her pew take the chance that I left you knowing where you might need me so easy to believe in someone I'd never see and the long black dream is over as the snow falls on and on and it takes five cups of coffee to calm down before I sleep and the long black dream is over as the snow falls on and on and it takes five cups of coffee to calm down before I sleep @SONG: I'm Still Dreaming, Now I'm Yours before the first light hits the floor dying on some wind so afraid of losing you so I may change there's no one there tell you how to live not knowing where you been I'm still dreaming, now I'm yours I'm still dreaming, now I'm yours woke up that same way so easy for me listen to the sunrise do I know you better now I'm still dreaming, now I'm yours ... before the first light hits the floor dying on some wind so afraid of losing you I'm still dreaming, now I'm yours ... @SONG: Martin's Song he was only six years old when that old killer died put him down in a great big hole and I fill it up all the time see the building rise into the sky parking meters, traffic cops you best watch your record, son they'll come and lock you up and I've been working all night I go on into the day ain't got much money now got the time ahead you got the time ahead to pay smoke and lightning, dressed to kill and don't talk to strangers girl take your pill forty years of sudden death the acid rain is falling on my head bush raids on the rise the doctor's working overtime too much of a good thing's not enough stepping stones, building blocks and I've been working all night I go on into the day ain't got much money now got the time ahead you got the time ahead to pay I've been working all night I go long into the day ain't got much money got the time ahead you got the time ahead to pay 'cause I've been working all night I go long into the day ain't got much money got the time ahead you got the time ahead to pay @SONG: Red Firecracker his jaw crawed and tobacco dripped down his chin his face settled on the neon lights reflected in his face settled on the neon lights reflected in red firecracker it don't explode there's a picture in his mind passed down and it feels like going home calculates all the cash he makes at happy hour two bullet holes took the best suit he ownes two bullet holes took the best suit he ownes red firecracker it don't explode there's a picture in his mind passed down and it feels like going home quicksand all around the man that history I suppose there's a better way to calm him down @SONG: She's Not Alone Anymore

know that I'm below someone to live for, how will I know how will I know where is this king's crown who stole away with the goods will I be able to stand in line for my own bed trees above me know that I'm below someone to live for, how will I know how will I know will I be married to the first girl I see coming down the road will I lay dying along the highway where the tall trees grow trees above me know that I'm below someone to live for, how will I know how will I know
