Red Morning Light Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know you could've been a wonder
Takin' your circus to the sky
You couldn't take it on the tightrope
No, you had to take it on the side
You always like it undercover
Tucked in between your dirty sheets
But no one's even done nothin' to ya
In between the hollers and the screams
[Chorus]
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
In the black of the night 'til the red morning light
[Verse 2]
You got your cozy little corner
All night you're jammin' on your feet
Hangin' out just like a street sign
And put a twenty dollar trick
I hear you're blowin' like a feather
And then they rub it in your face
Oh, once they've had all their fun, hun
You're at the bottom of the cage
[Chorus]
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
In the black of the night 'til the red morning light
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
Ah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Hey, hey, another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
Uh, hey, keep on givin' away and givin' it away (Givin' it away)
But, hey, hey, you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Hey, hey, you're givin' all your cinnamon away
[Chorus]
Ah, hey, hey
Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
In the black of the night 'til the red morning light
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right, ow! Come on
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
Another dirty bird ain't givin' out a taste
In the black of the night 'til the red morning light
And I said, "Nah, nah, hey, hey"
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
Happy Alone Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On our way, so it seems
Bloomin' flowers waltz before me
Rollin' numbers, passin' time
Got to get outside the city
In the morning, all will see
Just how crazy young love can be
On our own, away again
Don't get down, my darling
[Chorus]
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, I'm gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window, I'm on your street
[Verse 2]
Miles away, so unclear
Almost lost it in Montana
Let's pull over, have us choke
I love to watch you when you're dancing
I wonder if they ever dreamed
They would get just what we gave them
All wrapped up in being nineteen
Chasing stars that are falling
[Chorus]
Gon' tangle my face hair, gonna tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be, c'mon, Caleb! Ow!
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And when that train heads home
They're gonna be so gone, gone
You ain't never gonna see me no more
Gone, gone, you ain't nothin' to me
And when they shine them streets
They'll only find our song
[Chorus]
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, I'm gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be
I'm gon' tangle my face hair, gon' tickle your daughter
Three o'clock in the morning, they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window 'cause that's where I'll be, c'mon, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb, Caleb!
[Post-Chorus]
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your—
[Outro]
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
Wasted Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's your life
Don't you let them tell you when to bat your eyes
You're the only one who's going to sacrifice
Makes no difference if you're right or wrong
Take that ride
But I want your little sister by your side
Maybe little later we can all collide
Do our living like a rolling stone
[Refrain]
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted
[Chorus]
An innocent smile
Ah, runnin' free
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
[Verse 2]
Show your face
Living in the shadows like you got no name
'Nough to make a little girly go insane
Be my guest to let it out tonight
It's ok
I know all about the little games you play
Shaking your apple right in my face
Only when you know that I'ma begging for a bite
[Refrain]
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted
[Chorus]
An innocent smile
Ah, runnin' free
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is–
[Bridge]
I'm gonna get your mama, I'm gonna get your pa
I'm gonna tell everybody, just a what I saw
So won't you show your face (Show your face)
Your little apple shake (Show your face)
I know the love you gave (Show your face)
I know the love you take (Show your face)
[Chorus]
An innocent smile
Ah, runnin' free
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
An innocent smile
Ah, runnin' free
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Baby's goin' give it like it used to be
Joe’s Head Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blistered, cracked and bleedin'
Cold, no one should know
Rain falls down a-freezin'
And stickin' like a snow
[Verse 2]
Lingerin' suspicions
Screamin' in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Oh, welcome home again
[Pre-Chorus]
It's too late for apologies, they're fallin' at my feet
[Chorus]
"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"Had to put a bullet into his head"
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"
[Verse 3]
Callin' all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Oh, good friends 'til the end
[Pre-Chorus]
And they're making silly faces and it's tastin' bittersweet
[Chorus]
"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"Had to put a bullet into his head"
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
It's too late for apologies, they're fallin' at my feet
[Chorus]
"This is just the way of the world," Joe said
"Had to put a bullet into his head"
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"
"A-this is just the way of the world," Joe said
"I had to put a bullet into his head"
And then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well, he said, "Fred, I just killed a man
I caught him layin' with my girlfriend
And now they're both dead
People can be so cold when they're dead"
Trani Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dirty belly of a secret town
Cheap trick hookers are hanging out
At the bar near the Greyhound station
And the bare-chested boys are going down
On everything that their mama believes
Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine
Help you feel not so strange
[Chorus]
Said old Pa, "She don't get off
Unless somebody's standing near
And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line
She's all tied to a chair"
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
[Verse 2]
All the bubbas got their heads in a nod
They don't know what they love or deserve to get
Chances are that that worm in his lap
Doesn't even know which fish that he'd like to bite tonight
Oh, tonight, tonight, tonight, oh maybe tonight
[Chorus]
Said old Pa, "She don't get off
Unless somebody's standing near
And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line
She's all tied to a chair"
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
[Bridge]
Cops are on the call
Weeding out the freaks
Fingers in the dirt
He's spitting out his teeth
Spitting out his teeth
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Comes home on call, isn't that the peace
Fingers in the dirt, and he's spitting out his teeth
[Chorus]
Said old Pa, "She don't get off
Unless somebody's standing near
And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line
As she's all tied to a chair"
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
Oscillating on the ground, blowing white noise sound
Like a trani on ten
[Outro]
Oscillating on the
Oscillating on
Oscillating on
Oscillating on
California Waiting Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Little Mona Lisa layin' by my side
"Crimson and Clover" pullin' overtime
I feel too close to be losin' touch
By giving in, what am I givin' up?
Am I losing way too much?
[Chorus]
But, hey, California waitin'
Every little thing has gotta be just right
But say, while you're tryin' to save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' so fast and I can't slow down
It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' 'round and 'round
I'd give you the news, but nothing's changed
I'd sing you a song, but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game
[Chorus]
But, hey, California waitin'
Every little thing has gotta be just right
But say, while you're tryin' to save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Ah, hey, California waitin'
Every little thing has gotta be just right
But say, while you're tryna save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
But, hey, California waitin'
Every little thing has gotta be just right
But say, while you're tryin' to save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
[Outro]
Can I get back my lonely life?
Can I get back, can I get back?
Can I get back my lonely life?
Can I get back, can I get back?
Can I get back my lonely life?
Can I get back, can I get back?
Can I get back my lonely life?
Can I get back, can I get back?
Can I get back my lonely life?
Spiral Staircase Lyrics
[Chorus]
Spiral staircase goin' down
Paint your body red and brown
On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show
Spiral staircase, spiral staircase
[Verse 1]
Greasy haircuts, a German-Chinese girl
Gonna keep y'all busy, tuggin' at my curl
Get your ass together
You better walk, walk, walk, by walking we cannot run
They all came to party and there's four to every stall
It gets frustratin' just pissin' on this wall
Seems like there's another story bangin'
Around every step you fake
[Chorus]
Spiral staircase goin' down
Paint your body red and brown
On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show
Spiral staircase, spiral staircase
[Verse 2]
They all came to party and there's four to every stall
It gets frustratin' just pissin' on this wall
Seems like there's another story bangin'
Around every step you fake
[Chorus]
Spiral staircase goin' down
Paint your body red and brown
On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show
Spiral staircase, spiral staircase
Spiral staircase goin' down
Paint your body red and brown
On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show
Spiral staircase, spiral staircase
[Outro]
No, babe, hey, babe
Babe, don't leave
[2:35 ?], I want it
Don't you fuck my head
Molly’s Chambers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Free, that's all that she could bleed
That's why she'll never stay
White, bare naked in the night
And lookin' for some play
Just another girl that wants to rule the world
Or any time or place
And when she gets into your head
You know she's there to stay
[Chorus]
You want it, she's got it
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
She's got your, your pistol
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
[Verse 2]
Slow, she's burnin' in your soul
With whispers in your ear
It's okay, I'll give it anyway
Just get me outta here
You'll plead, you'll get down on your knees
For just another taste
And when you think she let you in
That's when she fades away
[Chorus]
You want it, she's got it
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
She's got your, your pistol
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
You want it, well, she's got it
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
She got your, your pistol
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
You want it, she's got it
Molly's chamber gonna change your mind
She's got your, your pistol
Genius Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be a showman, yeah, they always got another one
Everybody thinks they got a genius, everybody got me on the run
Sometimes I think they come here just so you can say that you can
And I can't get alone in my bathroom, I need to give myself a hand
[Verse 2]
Y'all cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin', creepin' underneath my skin
Fuck you and your flashbulbs, snappin' my picture again
You drank all my whiskey, you stole all my smoke
And you're crowded all around me like I got nowhere to go
[Chorus]
Eyes are gonna roll back, I'm here to kill
Time for you to go, I'm a-gonna spill
It ain't your fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no
[Verse 3]
You keep sticking to me like a prickly porcupine
You're getting your information from the grocery checkout line
Are you through confessing of your little girl obsession?
'Cause I was only messing and I had a little time
[Chorus]
Eyes are gonna roll back, I'm here to kill
Time for you to go, I'm a-gonna spill
It ain't your fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Eyes are gonna roll back, I'm here to kill
Time for you to go, I'm a-gonna spill
It ain't your fast train
I'll be the king running near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no, no, no, no, no, no
Eyes are gonna roll back, I'm here to kill
Time for you to go, I'm a-gonna spill
It ain't your fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no
Dusty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dusty in your eyes, dirty from change
Lips of your kisses are sticking like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I cut you some flowers, now, don't be afraid
Now, don't be afraid
[Chorus]
I'm lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine
[Verse 2]
Home by the river, tall grassy fields
Under a willow oak, well for to kneel
Dusty, oh, Dusty, decision night
You'll be so pretty, all laced in white
All laced up in white
[Chorus]
I'm lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine
I'm lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I'm lookin' for somethin'
To sink in my teeth without any cryin'
But I can't find no place or nothin'
Where thrills are cheap and love is divine
[Outro]
Where thrills are cheap and love's divine
Where thrills are cheap and love's divine
Where thrills are cheap and love's divine
Where thrills are cheap and love's divine
Where thrills are cheap and love's divine
