Take Me There 05:31
lyrics
buy track
All these feelings that I feel I feel them in the moment All these feelings they feel real And I feel them in the moment But when the moment goes The feelings go and I am lost forever And what I know and who I am Is a pointless endeavor Oh dear brother can you take me there Can you take me by the hand Oh sweet sister can you take me there Can you take me to the promised land All these dreams that I dream I feel them in the moment And when I am splitting at the seams I still feel it in the moment But when I lose control I go spinning off and my spirit does vaporize So I reach out but there’s nothing there No one who feels likewise Can you take me back to where I came from Can you take me there Can you take me back to where I came from Brother can you take me back All the rooms I have slept in I feel them in the moment And all the shit I have stepped in I feel it in the moment Can you see me, I’m your idiot son Can you hear me, my time's almost done

No Bless Yous for Giacomo 04:31
lyrics

How many days do I got left Not too many I can say for sure I’ve kind of had a run of bad luck This dead end and that detour Just when I think things would get better My shit blowed up like gelignite No bless yous for Giacomo Not even a gesundheit How much love will I extract Before my life comes to a grinding halt All the spice has been wrung out And I am left in a bland broth of salt I’d like to say that I still got it That I’m ready to put up a good fight No bless yous for Giacomo Not even a gesundheit I know that you are sick me Hell I am pretty sick of me too So I am sure that you won’t mind If I bid you a sweet adieu I’m on a taxi to the terminal zone And my plane is ready to take flight No bless yous for Giacomo Not even a gesundheit

You say that you feel so all alone Cut off from this world like a broken bone Hey you, I’m standing right over here You say that you want a real connection Someone to who will give you comfort and protection Hey you, you got no reason to fear Here I come, I'm coming to the rescue Here I come, I’m coming to save the day Here I come, I'm coming to the rescue I will save you somehow someway You say hate the world at large It’s outta control and there is no one’s in charge Hey you, don’t be so downhearted You say you feel you got no say No way to keep you from being blown away Hey you, lemme guide you through the uncharted You say that no one who gives a shit I know how that feels and I know you wanna quit Hey you, lemme offer you a hand You say that you’re sick being down and out You’re broke and busted and there's no one's about Hey you, lemme tell you I understand

My Fantasy 04:42
lyrics
buy track
To the ends of the world I would travel for you No there is nothing, nothing I would not do I would commit high crimes I would ravage the land Etch your name on the sky like a tattoo This is my fantasy This is my dream Take you into my heart And into my bloodstream This is my fantasy, my fantasy of you I would hold you in my arms And squeeze you to death Until every ounce of air is wrung out It may seem extreme But seem is all there is From a soul scorched by a lifelong drought Don’t be alarmed Don’t be afraid Just come along with me On this strange escapade I would crawl inside you Burrow deep into your belly Until I am born again like a wonder child And all my hopes and wishes Will come into the light For someone for whom the gods have finally smiled

Like a Sad Song 03:31
lyrics
buy track
We were on the outside looking in And the time was ticking by We were just waiting for the dream to begin When it didn't we didn't know why Somewhere behind us A train whistle blows Long and low, deep and dark A black dog it wails Like a sad song, like a sad song Is this the way that the world ends Not with with a whimper but with a bang It's so deep our disbelief suspends It hits us like a boomerang Throw your bags into the back Don't you ever look behind Drive that thing into the middle of the sea All the stars are aligned

You Don't Gotta Be the Bad Guy 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Whenever things go wrong Someone's gotta take the fall And usually that someone is me You can say it's me to blame You can say it's all my fault That's how it's been historically Just for once I wish That that was not the case That it was you for whom things went awry But once again just like before You got off the hook Yeah you don't gotta be the bad guy Whenever things fuck up Someone points the finger And that finger usually gets wagged my way I have let you down I'm such a disappointment Like the time I went and forgot your birthday I am the screw up I am the black sheep I'm the bad deed doer And I have sown just what I reap Whenever things break down Someone takes the rap And that rap comes tap, tap tapping on my door I know I'm not perfect I know that I am flawed And I know I got a lot to answer for

Sorry for the Trouble 03:47
lyrics
buy track
I know I complain a lot I know that it's a problem I know that I get on your nerves But I just can't help it It goes with my temperament And the way that my temperament swerves I'm sorry for the trouble I didn't mean to bug you I'll get my stuff and get right out of here I'm sorry for the trouble Won't you please forgive It's that you won't is what I fear So sorry I know that I bitch a lot I know that I'm exhausting But know that I exhaust me too As hard as it is to live with me It's harder to be me Yeah I know boo-frickin'-hoo I don't expect nothing And that's just what I got At least I can say it's kinda zen I will live like a monk Eat my bread and drink my wine Think of me now and then I know that I'm a drag That is putting it lightly Mostly I'm a pain in the ass I'd like to pack my junk And slink away quietly But my tank is nearly out of gas

Easy Does It 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Things are feeling kinda bleak From where I stand And I fear where I’m standing is on shaky ground Don’t see the upside Don’t see no up at all The raging call of the wild Is the prevailing sound And I say easy does it Tap on the breaks And slow this dang thing down Easy does it Just chill yourself out Easy does it Be a smart Boy Scout Easy does it Don't let it beat you A brand new world is gonna meet you There is something in the air Something strange and icky And I’m breathing it in every fucking day I bet it’s killing me but it could anything at all Grinding me down like a butt in an ashtray And I say easy does it Don't be so stressed Reconcile yourself with your grief Try to be more zen and find a little balance Be an Alan Ladd to a Jack Palance Things are feeling kinda hinky And that's not gonna change It's not like I expect any sort of revelations Wanna give you my towel, wanna toss it in I am bereft of any sort of expectations And I say easy does it Whoa, whoa, whoa Calm down, boy, calm down

Losing It 04:05
lyrics
buy track
Lately I been thinking That my head ain't on straight That what I know ain't what I know Crazy thoughts infiltrate I am losing it Losing it bit by bit I am losing it Losing it Losing my shit I am losing it Lately I been wondering If I am out of my mind Is who I am what I think I am It's not so clearly defined I am not on firm ground Stop, hey what's that sound Lately I been falling Down in a black hole No one's here to pull me back from the brink No one to save my soul

I Call Your Name 04:36
lyrics
buy track
Can you hear me I know you can I know there’s no way, no way that you can’t I am calling From so far away Lemme raise my voice up, up to a rant I call your name but you’re not there Was I to blame for being unfair Oh I can’t sleep at night since you been gone I don’t weep at night I can’t go on, I can’t on You don’t know me But I know you You’re the one who will in the end save me You don’t know this So let me break it down I will take, take what little you gave me Don’t you know I can’t take it I don’t know who can I’m not gonna make it I’m not that kind of man Please forgive me If I done you wrong I never meant to do anything that would hurt you I’m just fumbling Doing what I can And there’s no way I’d ever desert you

A Land of My Own 04:08
lyrics
buy track
The person that I was Has been dead now for going on years I saw him in his grave With a look that brought me down to tears I have moved on Moved on into the great unknown Trying to find some peace mind And a land to call my own The person that I was Got broke right at the very start Never once felt a connection Or the beat of a loving heart Yeah I have moved on And despite it all I have grown I hope that comes in handy When I find a land of my own The person that I am Is no long the longer the person I had been Yeah he is dead and gone Nothing but a pile of old skin I have moved on And I have found myself a new backbone It's helped me on my way To find myself a land of my own

Last Tango 05:41
lyrics
buy track
We done this dance since the beginning And in the beginning it served us well But we’re locked in a routine embrace And to me it feels like hell Who is leading and who is following Well I can’t tell anymore Just wanna wrench myself away And move to another part of the dance floor This is our last tango We got a tired old groove This is our last tango It’s time to move, time to move This is our last tango I swear, I swear Wanna find another partner And start a whole new affair I guess you must love this dance We do it every single day But me I can’t seem to get in sync no more Don’t wanna sashay down old Broadway These steps they feel so tired to me Why don’t you feel that way too Why don’t you feel trapped like me Don’t you wanna try something altogether new We could the rumba, we could do the jive We could do the meringue Anything else would feel more alive When was the last time you looked at me When did I last see you We’re standing here side by side And we more than slightly askew I feel like I am suffocating Can’t seem to catch my breath But we keep on with the same old same old It’s a slow dance to the death
