5. River Man Betty said she prayed today
For the sky to blow away
Or maybe stay
Betty came by on her way
She wasn’t sure
Said she had a word to say
About things today
For when she thought of summer rain
And fallen leaves
Calling for her mind again
She lost the pain
Said she hadn’t heard the news
And stayed for more
Hadn’t had the time to choose
A way to lose
Gonna to see the river man
But she believes
Gonna to tell him all I can
About the ban
Gonna see the river man
On feeling free
Gonna tell him all I can
About the plan
If he tells me all he knows
For lilac time
About the way his river flows
I don’t suppose
If he tells me all he knows
It’s meant for me
About the way his river flows
And all night shows
Oh, how they come and go
In summertime
8. Pink Moon
Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all
And it’s a pink moon
Yes, a pink moon
9. Which Will
Which will you go for?
Which will you love?
Which will you choose from?
From the stars above
Which will you answer?
Which will you call?
Which will you take for
For your one and all?
And tell me now
Which will you love the best?
Which do you dance for?
Which makes you shine?
Which will you choose now?
If you won’t choose mine
Which will you hope for?
Which can it be?
Which will you take now?
If you won’t take me
And tell me now
Which will you love the best?
10. Place To Be
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
And now I’m older see it face to face
And now I’m older gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and sun shone still
Now I’m darker than the deepest sea
Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I’d see when day was done
Now I’m weaker than the palest blue
Oh, so weak in this need for you
13. Black Eyed Dog
A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog
A black eyed dog.
I'm growing old and I wanna go home
I'm growing old and I don't wanna know
I'm growing old and I wanna go home.
A black eyed dog he called at my door
A black eyed dog he called for more.
21. Thirteen
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe Friday I can
get tickets for the dance
and I'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, quot;Get off my backquot;
Tell him what we said 'bout 'Paint It Black'
Rock 'n Roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And I'll shake you.
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's quot;noquot;, well, I can go
I won't make you
24. Holocaust
Laughing at your errors
Your eyes are almost dead
Your mother's dead
Can't get out of bed
She said, quot;Don't be afraid.quot;
And you can't sleep
Your mother's dead
You're sitting down to dress
You're on your own
And you're a mess
She's in her bed
You look in the mirror
Everybody goes
You look in your eyes
Leaving those who fall behind
Say you realize
Everybody goes
Everybody goes
As far as they can
Leaving those who fall behind
They don't just care
Everybody goes
You're a wasted face
As far as they can,
You're a sad-eyed lie
They don't just care.
You're a holocaust.
They stood on the stairs
28. Baudelaire
Now Lily White, she was walkin' and talkin'
as usual, out on the floor
While Ruby was deep into her pantomime
Me, I just stood starin' at my reflection
in my glass of Bourbon over by the door.
Still couldn't find those friends of mine.
But Ruby turned and pirouetted
Like a ghost dancer on the marble stairs
And I felt myself set free in a city without weather
My own dream of Baudelaire
Now Lily White, she leans so close to you and whispers.
And you will see diamonds fallin' all around her mouth.
Ah, but Ruby moves her lemon scented body
Just like the breezes from the south.
So somehow, I got tangled
Oh, tangled in her long red hair.
And I woke up to the taste of danger
Feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
29. Here comes the Knight to fill my glass just one more time
Well all the lovely ladies, they get up and they ajourn to the show
My head is so anointed with the blood and the wine
That i almost seem to know.
Of all the secrets down on the holy street
Where the vagrants, they come down and go
And of the secrets in the eyes of cats, and other vagrant lovers
Where the cruel waters flow.
But Ruby seemed to know the secrets as old as the ages
Oh the blood and wine flowin' in the fountains of the city square.
And I crawled to her to be drowned and driven
Feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
With the vanity of Baudelaire
Aw, feelin' such a lot like Baudelaire
30. Me & The Devil Blues (Robert Johnson)
Early this morning She said you don't see why
When you knocked upon my door That she would dog me 'round
Early this morning, oooo She say you don't see why, whoooo
When you knocked upon my door That she would dog me 'round
And I said hello Satan It must-a be that old evil spirit
I believe it's time to go So deep down in the ground
Me and the Devil You may bury my body
Was walkin' side by side Down by the highway side
Me and the Devil, woooo You may bury my body, woooo
Was walking side by side Down by the highway side
And I'm going to beat my woman So my old evil spirit
'Til I get satisfied Can get a Greyhound bus and ride
33. Miss Misery (early version)
I'll fake it through the day Though you'd rather see me gone
With some help from Johnny Walker red Than to see it come the day
And the cold pain behind my eyes I’ll be waiting for you anyway
It shoots back through my head Next door the TV's flashing blue frames
With two tickets torn in half on the wall
And a lot of nothing to do Its a comedy from the 70's
But its alright With the lead no one recalls
Cause some enchanted night I'll be with you Vanished into oblivion
Its easy to do a
Tarot cards and the lines in my hand And I cry to see
Tell me I'm wrong When you talk to me
But they're untrue The day you said we were through
Got plans for both of us But it's alright
That involved a trip out of town Some enchanted night I'll be with you
To a place I've seen in a magazine
that you left lying around
I cant hold my liquor
But I keep a good attitude
Cause its alright
Some enchanted night I'll be with you
34. Miss Misery I don't have you with me
But I keep a good attitude
I'll fake it through the day Do you miss me, Miss Misery
With some help from Johnny Walker Red Like you say you do
Send the poison rain down the drain
To put bad thoughts in my head I know you'd rather see me gone
Two tickets torn in half Than to see me the way that I am
And a lot of nothin' to do But I am in your life any way
Do you miss me, Miss Misery
Like you say you do Next door the T.V.'s flashing
Blue frames on the wall
A man in the park It's a comedy of errors you see
Read the lines in my hand It's about taking a fall
Told me I'm strong
Hardly ever wrong I said To vanish into oblivion
quot;Man you mean--quot; It's easy to do
And I tried to leave but you know me
You had plans for both of us I come back when you want me to.
That involved a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine Do you miss me, Miss Misery
That you'd left lyin' around Like you say you do
35. Waltz #2 (XO) Can't you tell
That it's well understood
First a mic, then a half cigarette
Singing Cathy's clown I'm never gonna know you now
That's the man she's married to now But I'm gonna love you anyhow
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed Here today and expected to stay
So she is On and on and on
I suppose I'm tired, I'm tired
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all Lookin' out on the substitute scene
Stares into space like a dead China doll Still going strong
XO, mom
I'm never gonna know you now It's okay it's alright nothing's wrong
But I'm gonna love you anyhow Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans
To just leave me alone
Now she's done and they're callin someone In the place where I make no mistakes
Such a familiar name In the place where I have what it takes
I'm so glad that my mem'ry's remote
Cause I'm doin' just fine hour to hour I'm never gonna know you now
Note to note But I'm gonna love you anyhow
Here it is I'm never gonna know you now
The revenge to the tune: But I'm gonna love you anyhow
You're no good, You're no good I'm never gonna know you now
You're no good, You're no good But I'm gonna love you anyhow
38. See You Later
Cruel imagination still giving me pain,
I got a choke chain
Just to find you with your masterminder
Made out of nightrain
Running your affairs,
To keep your memory down,
Saying how you're better now
In quicksand from the main man,
Since it killed all your other cares.
To drown everything out.
See you later,
We were out on a joyride
See you later,
Fucked up from insides,
If I see you at all,
Always at a dead stall,
See you later,
From sticking pins in a miniature man
See you later,
Who can’t feel it at all.
If I see you at all,
See you later,
See you later,
See you later,
See you later
If I see you at all,
If I see you at all,
See you later.
See you later.
Walk through thick mud
Looking for new blood,
Thinking I heard your name,
39. Half Right
well you shouldn't doctor yourself it's already half past
well i pictured somebody else and it won't last
someone that looks like
what i look like i was sticking up for my friend
well there's nothing much to defend
would you say that the one of your dreams it's a lost fight
got in you and ripped out the seams it's a lost fight
that's what i'd say
that's what i'd say cos when i talk to you on the phone
well, it's just like being alone
he was a sucker for your double dose it's not half right
motherfucker turned white as a ghost it's not half right
don't you say hi
don't you say hi
with a broken sink for a face
and a head that just takes up space
he's not half right
he's not half right
