DISC 1

1. BAD LITTLE DOGGIE

You come in with the sunrise, who knows where you go
Smellin' like something, I don't want to know

Your sister can't save you, she don't know what to do
Your bad behavior has finally caught up to you
Bad little doggie

Soul all tweeked out, life line thin
Loose little school girl, what a shape you're in

Blue violence, red rosaries
Roots of evil growing into trees
I'm through messin', time to learn your lesson
Bad little doggie

I'm through messin', time to learn your lesson
Bad little doggie

Come in with the sunrise, gone with the wind
Got the devil in your eyes, and a head full of sin

Fire can't melt you when your mind's made up
Ice can't cool you, naughty little pup
Bad little doggie
Bad little doggie
Bad little doggie


2. GAME FACE

Sail on savior
I can't take no more of your insanity wisdom
Satisfy your angels
With your cocaine and your guns
As for me I don't need them

When my shadow comes alive
And wrestles with my soul
Oh, do you really want to know

Savior, you can be what you want to be
Oh yeah, and only see what you want to see
Sail on, can't let you get next to me

To be at one with your weakness
Is your greates strength
Guess you shoud be proud of your game face

Guess it always was your hallelujah
Guess it was your saving grace

Savior, you can be what you want to be
Oh yeah, and only see what you want to see
Sail on, can't let you get next to me

You can say what you want now
My eyes are open wide
How was I ever on your side

Savior, you can be what you want to be
Oh yeah, and only see what you want to see
Sail on, can't let you get next to me


3. LARGER THAN LIFE

If I concentrate will it just come to me
Run it by me I'm willing to learn
Make no mistake you'll never be allowed to come inside
Just be glad you're here on the outside looking in

Cause it won't take long to get to the bottom
Won't take much to be looking down at yourself
You think you know something but you don't know nothing
Everybody knows that death is larger than life

Captivate yourself you're the only one who can help you now
With your cartoon savior by your side
Look around the room do you see anyone that you recognize, you better recognize

Cause it won't take long to get to the bottom
Won't take much to be looking down at yourself
You think you know something but you don't know nothing
Everybody knows that death is larger than life

Cause it won't take long to get to the bottom
Won't take much to be looking down at yourself
You think you know something but you don't know nothing
Everybody knows that death is larger than life


4. BLIND MAN IN THE DARK

All I ask from anyone
Is that they ask nothing from me
Stared so long at the future
That I'm blind to reality
Come a time we'll watch our lives
Slip into the sea
All I ask from anyone
Is that they ask nothing from me

Dreams fly by like a thousand railroad trains
Egos steadfast like mountains in our brains
Those of us who let go will be swallowed
Left here to die

Do not look to the sky
It will not rain for you
Do not look to strangers
They won't help you through
Only chance you've got
When you hear those war dogs bark
Is to be one up on your brother
Like a Blind man in the dark

Face to face we will meet again
But never eye to eye
Meanwhile, in your mania
Your four wings touch the sky
Fly too high the wax will melt
And you'll fall down to your knees
All I ask from you my friend
Is that you ask nothing from me

Dreams fly by like a thousand railroad trains
Egos steadfast like mountains in our brains
Those of us who let go will be swallowed
Left here to die

Do not look to the sky
It will not rain for you
Do not look to strangers
They won't help you through
Only chance you got
When you hear those war dogs bark
Is to be one up on your brother
Like a Blind man in the dark

Do not look to the sky
It will not rain for you
Do not look to strangers
They won't help you through
Only chance you got
When you hear those war dogs bark
Is to be one up on your brother
Like a Blind man
Blind man in the dark
Blind man in the dark


5. WHICH WAY DO WE RUN?

Time fades slowly across the plains
Dreams so real - you can reach right out and touch them
Me - why'd you have to go and pick me
Do you know - do you even know can you tell me

Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run

Think - Instincts tell you nothing now
The shadow of a giant can be felled by the shadow of a man
Demons stealing down from the heavens
Here comes one now - with a lightning bolt in his teeth

Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run

I ain't gonna dream forever
But I'm gonna try and live
Tell me can you taste forever - right now Right now

Little Elvis Hitler - don't'cha follow me
These scars on my back - they're because of you
And these cuts on my wrists
They're just me trying to get away from you
And I'm still trying to get away

Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run
Which way do we run


6. FOOL'S MOON

Yellow moon shining like fool's gold - slipping softly into the sea
Memories how they linger, guess we weren't strong enough, you and me

Still I look to find a reason - search my mind for a vision
Hide from the answers as the questions burn in my head

Shining like a fool's moon
Shining like a fool's moon
Burning out way too soon
Shining like a fool's moon

I wish I'd known you as a child - I wish I'd known you when my heart ran wild
Never knew how much I'd miss those dream filled days

Shining like a fool's moon
Shining like a fool's moon
Burning out way too soon
Shining like a fool's moon

And when all is said and done - my loneliness has just begun
But you make it look so easy - never winning but never caring if you lose

Shining like a fool's moon
Shining like a fool's moon
Burning out way too soon
Shining like a fool's moon


7. PATCHWORK

I never knew you
But then who really did?
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid
A patchwork quilt of a life
Memories embroidered
On your soul

So please forgive me
For putting you in my song
But the spirit she moves me
In fact she pushes me along
It's a patchwork quilt of a life
Can't stop the river
Just let it roll

We were at Jones Beach
When we got the word
Saddest sound that I ever heard
The bluest note that nobody could play
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage
Tears of sadness, tears of rage
But nobody spoke, we all felt old
And in the way

So walk beside me
Or above me, I don't know
These days it sure seems
I'm lost where ever I go

God, how could you, I heard someone say
And what do we do with our lives now anyway?
Now that our North Star can no longer be found

But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky
Hippies dance and babies cry
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars
Bright lights, Dark Star

I never knew you
But then who really did
If you were at all like me
You managed to keep yourself hid


8. LAY OF THE SUNFLOWER

I must leave you for a season
Go out logging that hardwood timber
Hardwood timber that grows so low
In the forest of Fennario

Tell me what you need to live, love
Do you ask that you might own
Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you
I will make my way alone

I will not return in winter
If I be not back by fall
Seek me when this small sunflower
Stands above the garden wall

Fare you well and I would not weep
Bid you tend your prayers to keep
Hill by dale now I must go
To the forest of Fennario

Nine-month blew with sleeted rain
And still he came not back again
Summoned she the hound to go
To seek him in Fennario

He came back the fated day
To find his lady gone away
Made haste to follow in her track
Where she could go but not turn back

The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay
While fast her breath did fade away
She cried out: "Turn, my love, and go
I would not you see me so"

Fare you well and I would not weep
Bid you tend your prayers to keep
Hill by dale now I must go
To the forest of Fennario

I shall not turn, I shall not yield
Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel
That bleeds my lady's blood away
Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay
Angels sing their souls to sleep
Four winds grace their breath to keep
Up above yon garden wall
Stands the sunflower, straight and tall

Fare you well and I would not weep
Bid you tend your prayers to keep
Hill by dale now I must go
To the forest of Fennario


9. JOHN THE REVELATOR

John The Revelator
Up on the isle of Patmus
A man was cast one day
As he was left alone to die
He began to pray
The Holy Ghost fell on him
The Spirit, he came down
Well, he began to write about the things he saw
The revelators' name was John
(Talkin' 'bout John)
John the Revelator
He saw Jerusalem comin' down
(Yes, it was John)
John the Revelator
And when he looked around
He saw feet like brass
Eyes like fire
Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!"
(It was John)
John the Revelator
He wrote about the city of God
While in the spirit prayin'
John turned around to see
If the voice he had heard
Was what it seemed to be
Just like the many waters
A great trumpet sound
Well He said, "I am the first and last."
The revelator wrote it down
(Talkin' 'bout John)
John the Revelator
He saw Jerusalem comin' down
(Yes, it was John)
John the Revelator
And when he looked around
He saw feet like brass
Eyes like fire
Heard a great voice sayin' "Come up higher!"
(It was John)
John the Revelator
He wrote about the city of God
(Repeat last verse twice)


10. CHAMELEON



DISC 2


11. BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN

Mysterious-blown in with the night-all this beauty
Captured in a frame
Visibly shaken but never stirred-drives them insane
I see the way she plays her men- and I know I've got to know her name

Chorus
She's so beautifully broken-shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted-Here I go again

I see the way she casts her spell-it's like drowning in moonlight
Discards them when she's done-they're lost in her twilight
I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right

Chorus 2
She's so beautifully broken-you can barely see the flaw
Especially from a distance-which is always how I fall

Bridge 1
Why do I fall for the dangerous ones-the ones that
Never learned to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so beautifully broken

Bridge 2
Why do I fall for the dangerous ones-the ones that
Don't know how to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so

Chorus 1
Beautifully broken-shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted-Here I go again


12. TIME TO CONFESS

Only the darkness can keep you warm
On an evil night like this
Are you looking for some one
To give your little arm a twist
Everybody needs some danger sometimes
I'm no different
Just think of me as your equal
I won't undress you
I won't hold you down
I won't stick a knife in your back
The way you did that clown

Can you feel it - can you taste it
Yeh, you must've seen it coming
Surely you could've guessed
The game is up
I'm gonna' take you down
No more crying
I think it's time to confess

You better pray for a miracle

Or you better pray this never ends
I, myself, can play the victim
I'll do whatever the part demands
You saw me watching you
You had time to run
Ain't it enough that you torture me
You had to go for his gun

Can you feel it - can you taste it
Yeah, you must've seen it coming
Surely you could've guessed
The game is up
I'm gonna' take you down
No more crying
I think it's time to confess

You won't see no bright lights burning
But you'll feel the heat
This is what happens
When strangers turn to lovers turn to enemies

Can you feel it - can you taste it
Don't look at me that way
With that blood on your dress
The game is up
I'm gonna' take you down
No more crying
I think it's time to confess


13. MULE

Say you try
But you just can't help your self
Wanna feel special
Man wanna make you feel like everybody else
Take away your freedom
Strip away your pride
Say you know you weren�t born
With the blue blood son
So take your place in line

Where's my mule
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr. Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule
Where's my mule

I say trust me
But you say it's too much bother
Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down
Make you wanna kill your brother
So go on and bust me
For what's in my mason jar
Yeah, I owes my soul
To the company store
How I'm doing so far

Where's my mule
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr. Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule
Where's my mule

Where's my mule
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr. Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule?


14. BANKS OF THE DEEP END

Living on the banks of the deep end
Not going to sell to the safety corps
Staying at the edge of the river bend
Watching the boats going past the shore

Living on the banks of the deep end
Where the floods come up just once in a while
Sitting on the shore with an old friend
With the lights in the boats all going by

This is what we came to see
The water runs over the plain
But we can't see down to the bottom
And we can't sail in the rain

Walking alone by the side of the river
Wather's cold and it's flowing on
Trying to keep my feet on solid ground
But i'm at the deep end looking down

I know it's hard to see but even so
Feels like something to believe
See the river take the country down
Seems the surface flows upstream


15. ON YOUR WAY DOWN


16. 32/20 BLUES



17. DOWN AND OUT IN NEW YORK CITY


18. GOIN' DOWN


19. MAYBE I'M A LEO


20. SLOW HAPPY BOYS

Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else

Well I tried and I tried
To get you off my mind
Yeh you better believe it's true
Tried everything to stop the pain
But it all comes back down to you
And now I try to lose myself
Without your help
Oh but it just don't seem to do no good
Cause I cannot help myself, cannot help myself

Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else

I'm gonna keep on trying
To make it through the day
As if I had my right mind
Try not to think about doing without you
Anyway, ain't no use in crying
Yeh but here I am drowning in a hurricane
Oh, but I can't help but wonder
What the world would be like
Without you in my life

Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else

For thirty three years I've been on this earth
I plan on being here thirty three more
After all this time
Still, my only crime is to be riding in style with an illegal smile

Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
Slow happy boys deal with their frustration
Different than everybody else
