Backslider


Bended knee,

Nine years old,

Waiting for,

Just one word!




I was thinking of all the things,

My daddy told me of,

Sin and salvation and

Manhood and dignity




All that time,

In the dark,

Just one word,

Backslider!




I remember the day I stepped,

Into the water

My daddy held me in his hands

And pushed my head under,

And said




Son I am,

So proud,

Just one word,

Backslider!




Well I opened my eyes up wide

Daddy held me in his hands

I looked up through the water

And thought I saw Jesus, and then




Well I threw up my hands!

And I heard, Amen!

And I prayed sweet Jesus,

Don't let me become a backslider!



Possum Kingdom


Make up your mind

Decide to walk with me

Around the lake tonight

Around the lake tonight

By my side

By my side




I'm not gonna' lie

I'll not be a gentleman

Behind the boathouse

I'll show you my dark secret




I'm not gonna lie

I want you for mine

My blushing bride

My lover, be my lover yeah...




Don't be afraid

I didn't mean to scare you

So help me Jesus




I can promise you

You will stay as beautiful

With dark hair

And soft skin, forever

Forever

And I promise you

I will treat you well

Quitter


Didn't I give you everything?

Didn't I take you where you want to be?

Didn't I make you feel just like a queen?

And all that time I thought that I was gettin' somethin' right




Look me in the eye and tell me somethin'

Am I supposed to walk away with nothin'?

Do I convince myself we never happened?

Well I guess I won't be denied

I'm gettin' somethin' right




Lover!

Are you happy now?

Quitter...QUITTER!




In the coming days the dust will cover

All the evidence of your first lover

I hope wherever you are now you'll wake up

And see just what a mess you made of this

'Cause I'm gettin' somethin' right




Am I gettin' somethin' right?




Lover!

Are you happy now?

Quitter...QUITTER!



Away


You say forever

And I confess I shiver

You say hope

I say that's where I'm goin'




To be in the shade

The oldest trees above my head

When I'm away, I know in my heart

There is a heaven




If I'm out hunting

Come right on in, yeah

And even when I'm gone

My doors are always open




And if I'm asleep

Make sure my blanket covers me, yeah




When I'm away, I know in my heart

There is a heaven




When i'm away

To be in the shade

The oldest trees above my head

When I'm away, I know in my heart

There is a heaven




come right on in, yeah



I come From the Water


I come from the water

I crawled upon the shore

I left my brothers there

I got what I came for




I sucked that hot air in

And rolled upon the sand

Emerged beneath the sun

To be a man.




I come from the water




I come from the water

That weren't no easy thing

It's more than nature

It's like my destiny




I stood upon these legs

And held my head up high

Emerged beneath the sun

To start a new life




I come from the water




Life in the desert

Just to be together

The sand forever

The same forever

It moves beneath me

It pulls my body

My pulse beats hotter

So far from the water




I love to see the sun

In spite of all it's done

I pray for shade and rain

I pray to live again

I come from the water



Tyler


And she runs through her days with a smile on her face

And she runs, and she waits, and I wait




We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state

And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up




I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in

Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer

I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed

I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!




I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door

I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice

She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door




I will be with her tonight



Happyface


I tried to wish you away

I'll do more than wishin' someday

No no no more son of a b****

No no no more wishin'

No no no more son of a b****

No more happyface!




You and I have nothing more to say

We'll do more than talkin' someday

No no no more son of a b****

No no no more talkin'

No no no more son of a b****

No more happyface!




No no no more son of a b****

No no no more talkin'

No no no more son of a b****

No more happyface




If I

could find

the will

to KILL!

Here we go again




No no no more son of a b****

No no no no more son of a b****

No no no more son of a b****

No more happy face




If I

Could find

the will

to KILL

Well, I'll kill you son of a b****!



Velvet


Get away!

Get away!




You hurt me, you f***!

You hurt me, you f***!

You hurt me, you f***!

You hurt me!




Stop it!

You hurt me, you c***!

You hurt me, you c***!

I Burn


Driftin' upward

Gently liftin'

Lazy on the wind




Rollin' over

Turnin' slowly

Beginning and the end




Fire is bright

Fire is clean

Never so alive




Smoke is freedom

Flame is mercy

I am free tonight




And I burn

I burn




Stoke the embers

Cleanse the spirit

A prayer in every spark




Feel the lick of

Bad religion

The finish and the start




In the beginning

We were smarter

The flame was heaven-sent




Through the ages

We got stupid

Now we must repent




And I burn

I burn




Sift the ashes

Full reminder

Stony things remain




Tooth and bone

unimpressive

I have left these things




Because fire is bright

Fire is clean

Efficient and divine




Tooth and bone

Charms and dolls

I am free tonight




I burn!

The air!

You breathe!




I burn!

The air!

You breathe!




I burn!

The air!

You breathe!




I burn

I burn

I burn
