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

[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—

[Outro]

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

[Chorus]

An innocent smile

Ah, runnin' free

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

[Chorus]

An innocent smile

Ah, runnin' free

Baby's goin' give it like it used to be

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

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

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

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

[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

[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
