I sat in a room
Carving my own tombstone
It was carefully noon
A shaky Monday in Bluestone
Know I built me a mansion, baby
Deep inside of my heart
And it was so damn fancy, momma
Sunday it fell apart
So I’m sitting here just
Eating this glue but my
Head keeps on falling down
All I am is just a
Drop of Dew and I’m
I’m sinking in the ground
But Mr. Sunlight
From his hands you know
He throws me to the wind
And with a gesture
To the land he says
Be good as new again
I’ll be your finest friend
And from the window of the cloud I ride
I see the new side, the true side
And everything’s fine
I am a dewdrop, and down I glide
‘Cause it’s a fine ride, a fine glide
So baby don’t cry
Everything’s all right

Dead Again (live)

Morning is a summer
Every day of my life
And the sun in my window
Takes away from the night
Because I love the darkness
By the moon, I alight
And on the ground, I am reaching
Through the gloom
For the right…
To wrap myself in sorrow
For the pain of everyone
‘Cause I do not think tomorrow
Will provide this time
With a happy line
Because we’re dead
Any child can smell a madman
Though the man he just might like
And in his room
With a curtain
It’s a standard lullaby
But it isn’t evil
So be damned out of sight
We slipped into the shadow
Understanding nothing right
To wrap myself in sorrow
For the pain of everyone
‘Cause I do not think tomorrow
Will provide this time
With a happy line
Because we’re dead
Don’t want to die
Sleeping at night
Don’t want to die

Invictus (live)

From the night that is my cover
Black as pitch from pole to pole
I thank the gods, be they whatever
For my unconquerable soul
In the clutch of circumstance
I have not winced or cried aloud
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms the horror of the shade
And yet the menace of the years
Shall always find me unafraid
And that’s the way it has to be…
I lIve inside these things I say
Just like I live inside my home
Though in this world of words I play
Ultimately, I am alone
So when the end is standing by
Shadows long from head to toe
My blade will cut both deep and dry
And night will fall upon the floor
It matters not how straight the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul
And that’s the way it has to be…

Juke / Right Down (live)

I was raised down in the southland
Right down there upon the ground
Yes the sun he was big man
Shining down on my house
So I climbed up to the northland
To see if what I said was true
And I played in that there big band
But I could not get it out to you
I have never seen such a big house
But I always dreamed that I’d find it
Woke this morning, baby, and I broke out
I look around and I see that
It’s right down on the ground
So I crawled back to the homeland
With my head upon my shoe
But the sun is shining down on this man
Got to tell him what he got to do
Get the big shoes down
I have never seen such a big house
But I always dreamed that I’d find it
Woke this morning, baby, and I broke out
I look around and I see that
It’s right down on the ground

Choke back the device
That tears out at your friends at night
Ten drinks should suffice
To keep you on the rocks
Choke back the machine
That cuts the feet off of your lover
Then sit by the fire alone
That’s how it comes to be
When happiness is tired
One hundred thousand times
I’ve taken up my light
In the middle of the day
Thinking it was midnight
Eat back those teeth
That you smell rotting in your heart
Skin back the beliefs
That make us all grow tired of you
‘Cause every day the curtain falls out farther from the stage
And every night the sky is shaken looser from its cage
But all the same, the shame is shattered blindly into rage
Right on the spot
One hundred thousand times
I’ve taken up my light
In the middle of the day
And I thought it was midnight

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the women treat you fine on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a gray hound bus for home they all say
But they're dead wrong I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway
I won't quit 'til I'm a star on Broadway
No, no, no, no, no
I won't quit till I'm a star
'Cause I know I can
On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
On Broadway
Yeah
On Broadway

All Night Brother

Time to go – nothing’s forever
Hit the road – all things sever
You can drive – there is no other
You can drive – all night brother
Make it clean – through all kinds of weather
Like a dream – come untethered
Rain & snow – from up above us
Take it slow – all night brother, all night brother
A little high… Never low… No need to try…’cause everything is easy
Easy come and easy going through it
Easy does it when you’re coming down
It’s easy once you get into it
Take it easy now
Break of dawn… Always on… An eagle eye…and everything is easy
Easy come and easy going through it
Easy does it when you’re coming down
It’s easy once you get into it
You can’t deny
For every town – beg, steal, or borrow
For when I’m down – and there’s no tomorrow
For every time – you helped me recover
Every time – all night brother
Time to go – nothing’s forever
Hit the road – all things sever
You can drive – there is no other
You can drive – all night brother, all night brother
