six months to travel and six days to go,
long time now i'm comin' home,
open the window and let the wind blow,
shadows away that i'm feelin',
been a long time almost a year,
touched you and buried my soul,
wonderin' what it is i hope to find,
maybe in gods land i'll know.
dancin' with fire light of the moon,
spinnin' and swayin' below',
burnt at both ends i fall into night,
i turn to see you go.
always you're there smile in place,
angels are keepin' us whole'
further away yet still within reach,
give me somethin' to hold,
find you and feel you sharin' the time,
headed on down the road,
somethin' about you i can't define,
buried down deep in my soul.
maybe someday we'll meet up again,
maybe we'll never know,
deep in my heart it's tearin' me up,
i don't know which way to go.

the other day i slipped through a dream
into the lucid space between
sun made a golden halo in your hair
and flowing down like a stream from the hills
held your body close to mine
together we climbed the mountain divine
followed the stream through your rolling hills
and wandered along in your gladden fields
deep in your valleys i drank my fill
and your sweet sighs carry me still
you're the light upon leaves
wind through the trees
voice of the water callin' to me
deep in the forest upon a green mound
you dance as meadow larks sing all around

well shitcreek is risin' 10 feet over head,
and it's flowin' over me in this bed.
and i'm herein lyin' thinkin' of you,
and all the things you said that were untrue
it's so many things and playboy magazines
good friends who couldn't take this world of strife
the mornin' sun well it looks awful grey
and the radio has got nothin' good to play
in my dreams i'm free
of the memories that you left for me
and someday soon
i'll leave this mirky tomb,
and walk amongst the livin' once again,
but here i sit in this gloom
with a stomach full of pills
and a heart full of regrets
sherriff stopped by yesterday afternoon
wondering what all i knew
they found your body in an old coal mine
couldn't find your head or the murder site
put up my best front cried crocodile tears
so maybe he wouldn't see the truth that was clear
he'll come again later today
walk up to me and he'll say
come with me son
we know that you took her life
you're gonna suffer to the end of your time
we found your axe at the murder scene
the blood soaked ground
and her head nowhere to be found
they'll take me down to the penitentiary
lock me in a cell where no one else can see
i'll plead for mercy please hang me up high
on the gallows pole 'cause i wish to die
judge'll say son for everything you've done
we're gonna keep you here all alone
until your last breath goes
and no one really knows
why you took this young girls life
i lay here within this haunted memory
of how your love once was for me
and shitcreek is floodin' 10 feet overhead
and this lonely cot will be my deathbed.
it's so many things and playboy magazines
good friends who couldn't take this world of strife
the mornin' sun well it looks awful grey
and the radio has got nothin' good to play

jesus boracho come rescue me,
i'm staggerin' blind
too drunk to see
shine for me your golden light
of a bottle of whiskey
to set things right
please protect over my family
and my friends
they mean alot to me
pour for them your liquid delight
and if there's a shot left
i'll take it's bite
jesus boracho come rescue me
i'm staggerin' blind
too drunk to see
you know my time here is almost gone
my body is worn
my spirit is strong
i'll dance and sing amongst the stars
and i'll meet you down here
between the bars

saw the devil walkin' down the street, trenchcoat flappin' and shufflin' his feet
first instinct was to run, out of town and grab my gun.
sneak upon himfrom behind, line up the crosshairs oh so fime
find the gold mine in his back, pull the trigger and hear the crack
but i stand here frozen don't you know, afraid for my body and my soul,
what happens to me aimin' the gun, if the bullet don't get the job done
saw god walkin' down the street, trenchcoat flappin' and shufflin' his feet
first instinct was to run, out of town and grab my gun.
sneak upon him from behind, line up the crosshairs oh so fine
find the goldmine in his back, pull the trigger and hear the crack.
but i stand here frozen don't you know, afraid for my body and my soul,
what happens to me aimin' the gun, if the bullet don't get the job done

well it was late one night under the porchlight said goodbye to the heartbeat of the band
and as he pulled away up in his place came a city utilities van
the doors flung wide and out from inside came the armies of the law
all dressed in green and lookin' mighty mean a machine gun one and all
and get the fuck down was the echoed sound from the units comand
and i"m tellin' you son that it weren"t no fun starin' down the barrels in their hands
they came up fast cuffed our hands behind our backs and tore my house from end to end
when the bullshit was done and they put away their guns well they'd only found an ounce and a half
well i"ve traveled the the lands yes i"m a peaceful man lend a hand whereever i can
but if i see the punk who set my ass up well his head might meet a baseball bat
and it was late one night under the porchlight said goodbye to the heartbeat of the band
and as he pulled away up in his place came a city utilities van
i said a city utilities van the night they took away this man

lullaby pretty baby
count the sheep as they fly by
lullaby pretty darlin'
don't let the bedbugs eat your eyes
and sleep so deeply
don't worry about a thing
there's nothing to harm you
well maybe there's one thing
there's a darkness that surrounds you
seeping into your dreams
in the blackness that engulfs you
what's that moving
rest in peace my honey
golden dust fills your eyes
and the sandman comes a callin'
to bid you, bid you goodbye
the monsters 'hind your eyelids
the ones with the googlie eyes
tonight they're not your problem
breath deep and sleep tight
go to sleep now baby
and you wont hear a sound
shut your eyes my darlin'
as this pillow covers your mouth
maybe you'll go to heaven
or maybe you're hell bound
know it doesn't matter
dressed in your satin gown
don't get lost in purgatory
don't waste your soul
don't get stuck in purgatory
st. peter has lost control
don't get stuck in purgatory
st. peter has lost control

and i'm sittin' here in the night, floating in the darkness, falling out of sight,
i don't know when the time will come, i don't know when the bottoms done.
stuck in this room with, all these spirits, a purgatory of our souls,
there's only one way to escape this place, into the well i go.
and i need to know, if the blue light will carry me home,
or if i'll float forever sinking down, enternally darkness abounds.
i spend my time in this house of leaves, the wind constantly kickin' 'round my eaves,
the rustle of wings in my mind, the darkness gathers round, it's easy to find.
i'll never see you again, i'll never smell your hair or touch your skin,
and when i'm gone, the only thing left will carry on.
and i'm getting swallowed up by this darkness, the claws reach out for me,
skeletons in my closet, and i walk down, the 5 1/2 minute hallway,
i can't get out.

mountains heads so high
in the euclidean sky
frozen river flowing away out of sight
in my wildest dreams
the horrors unperceived
daegon calls me from the murky sea
chuthulu rising
beyond the depths of hell
where for aeons he's been left to dwell
little brown jenkin
with his yellow/white teeth
boring into me eating my heart in my sleep
and the black priest
prepares the carnal feast
bent crone singing singing my soul to sleep

oh my darling please
i'm on down here on my bended knees
be the goddess, my lover,
and death crone.
won't you cradle me in your arms
give me the kiss of eternal bliss
as you suck out my final breath
lay my body down in death
lay my body down in death
i've committed no sins of man
i've listened to the wind in the trees
i've overturned the angry man
and brought him down to his knees
and brought him down to his knees
be the raven and sing me nevermore
fold your wings as we walk through the door
lead me out to that killing floor
away from me
amongst the sea
like a glint from the lighthouse
a ray of hope beyond the door
but i can never touch that foreign land
no i can't reach the shore
nevermore
so my ship sinks slowly into
the ink black depths without sound
and you let go my final breath
and i'm tumbling down
and i'm crumbling down
be the raven and sing me nevermore
fold your wings as we walk through the door
lead me out to that killing floor
away from me
amongst the sea
won't you raise me from my resting place
and carry my spirit on
won't you put aside this drunken mess
that i call home
carry me home
i've committed myself behind these walls
and i can't find the door
i've locked away all that i have to say
and i can't find my words no more
and i can't find my words no more
and i can't find my words no more
nevermore

twistin' and turnin'
threads of the yearnin'
chasin' imperishable flame.
water is swirlin'
icicles burnin'
deep within the veil.
ashes are glowin'
death slowly growin'
slippin' away to the night.
someone is callin'
golden light fallin'
as i slip out of sight.
voices are listenin'
moist lips glistenin'
wet fallin' sounds.
tree tops are reachin'
wind blows through preachin'
full moon shinin' down.
off in the distance
there comes the resistance
speakin' inglorious words.
twistin' and turnin'
threads of the yearnin'
chasin' imperishable flame.
