Come on In
02:53

I said come on in
Welcome to my house
Kick off your shoes
Let your troubles out
Said come on in
Make yourself at home
In this house of sin
You're never alone
You're welcome here
Got nothing to lose
'Cept maybe your soul
or maybe your blues
Said come on in
Where have you been
I've been waiting on you
To come on in

Evil Little Girl

Evil little girl
Got me feeling cursed
Conjured in my mind
Devil on the shoreline
Evil little girl
Your fault as much as mine
Now you're breaking hearts
Got me scared of the dark
Maybe I'm hypnotized
Devil on the shoreline
Evil little girl
You gotta let it shine
The sun will set tonight
A shiver down my spine
You gotta save my soul
Or take my life
My devil on the shore
My evil little girl
My evil little girl
Turning out the lights
My evil little girl
You gotta let it shine
My devil on the shore
My evil little girl
Hey hey hey
My evil little girl

Broken down, shaken up
I’m staring at the sky above
Father, son, Holy Ghost
Light the night, save our souls
Hellfire through the clouds
Lift us up from the ground
Stars bleed into a blur
Raining down, scorch the earth
Nowhere to hide
From the shapes in the night
Vacant eyes, hollow hearts
The cattle bleat in the dark
Far from the world we know
There ain’t no streets paved with gold
Nowhere to hide
From the shapes in the night
Burning bright

Lace up your boots it's time to go
There's fire above and a hell below
They've gone and drawn a line in the sand
In the last world war in the time of man
I wanna run, I wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
I wanna run, I wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
Step on the gas, head for the hills
If death don't getch'ya, then the devil will
If I die for you, I think I can, in the last world war in the time of man
I wanna run, I wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
I wanna run, I wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
Now I dig Jesus, but I ain't sure
What he thinks about killing in a holy war
When I'm gone my last request is to play that song that I love the best
I wanna run, i wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
I wanna run, I wanna run away
Don't know if we're gonna live to see today
Hey hey

Lying Beneath
04:47
|
|||
The coast and the cavern
The cradle and the grave
The darkness that keeps trying
To pull me away
Thank God for the sinners
I will play the Saint
I’ll live just like a lantern
And I’ll die just like a flame
Make your peace
Some valleys run deep
Mend that hole
where your heart should be
You came from dirt
It waits patiently
To let the weary mourn
For the wicked lying beneath
The creeps and the mystics
Mother Nature’s child
The wretched will inherit
Whatever’s left behind
Holy water, fire in the sky
Save all our souls
Or at least save mine
Make your peace
Some valleys run deep
Mend that hole
where your heart should be
You came from dirt
It waits patiently
To let the weary mourn
For the wicked lying beneath
Make your peace
Some valleys run deep
Mend that hole
where your heart should be
Fear the other side
But remember to breathe
We’ll all be together
When we’re lying beneath

Belong to Me
04:56
|
|||
Said I need your love like the air that I breathe
Like snow need the cold, yeah you're necessary
And I can't get enough, you I'd never leave
And I remember when you belonged to me
And I'll take it all,
All your pleasure and pain, cause I knew you before, yeah we're one and the same
Told you what this is for, tell me what does this mean
I keep loving you more,
You belong to me, yeah
You belong to me,
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
If I spend my whole life loving you,
Maybe then you'll know my love is true
Gonna spend my whole life loving you
Said I need your love,
J'ai besoin des vous
Tu touchez ma main,
Et je suis venu.
I would steal your name, I would steal you away, cause we're one and the same you belong to me
I ain't in my right mind
I ain't playing no games, yes
You threw gas on the fire and I ain't been the same
Like the sun needs to shine, like a heart needs to bleed,
I will call you mine, you belong to me, yeah
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me
You belong to me

Room for Two
02:10
|
|||
I found a place made just for you
By the creek covered up in roots
I told you not to go out without me
I fear that the only way
For me to sleep is in a grave
But I won’t be resting in peace
I found a place made just for you
By the creek covered up in roots
I told you not to go out without me
I pack the soil, cover it in leaves
Put the shovel back in her sheath
Kick the dirt right off my boots
I fear that the only way
For me to sleep is in a grave
But I won’t be resting in peace
Time will tell the tale
Of a man under a women’s spell
That no amount a pleading could break
Every eye is following
Every voice is whispering
Though it may just be in my head
The only lie I ever told
Was to myself that I could let go
But now I find I might be missing you
I’m glad I made room for two

Cannonball
03:57
|
|||
Come sit down beside me,
If you like me
If you like me, you can hold my hand
No matter where my feet may find me, you are right there where I am
And I know just when you enter
A chill comes down the hall
As cold as any winter
And heavy like a cannonball

Leave Behind My Name
05:32
|
|||
Bury me in the backyard
Underneath the poplar
Doomed to be forgotten
Wilted away
Empty out your pockets
Gold teeth and watches
All that’s ill-gotten
You can’t take to the grave
Tell my only daughter
As she treads the water
Of princes and paupers
They’re one in the same
Son, watch the darkness
The moonlight upon us
Hear the Devil calling
Staking out his claim
I can’t sleep no more
Beasts clawing down my door
Fade into the flame
Only leave behind my name
Comfort in leaving
Depends what you believe in
You can’t keep living
In what has come to pass
I’ll watch the darkness
The moonlight upon us
I’ll hear the Devil calling
Screaming out our names
I can’t sleep no more
Beasts clawing down my door
Fade into the flame
Only leave behind my name

Geronimo
03:41
|
|||
If I had more sense
I'd let you know
Never again
you told me so
Can't keep it straight
No I can't stand still
Anything for you
You know I will
But I am caught
in between
my poor heart
and my dreams
And we will
build a house
and burn it all down
Well dontch'ya look now
Come and take my hand
There is no doubt
I am your man
No backing out
Well who's to know
Well dontch'ya look down
Geronimo
And I am caught
in between
my poor heart
and my dreams
And we will
build a house
and burn it all down
They caught me on
that northern line
Don't know whose fault
It wasn't mine
My love for you
It will abide
And I'll think of you
from time to time
And if you're caught
in between
your poor heart
and your dreams
You can turn
it all around
and burn it all down
