Away Away 02:49
walking down the road today I saw myself inside a place I know that I would never go I was drinking loud with a friend we both wore our shit eating grin and I held my glass like a faberge egg Chorus and we told ourselves away away this is the way we'll go we'll drink our sours in a cup you know and we told ourselves away away this is the way we'll go we'll drink our sorrows 'til they drown so I broke myself away from this reflection that would not pay the bill but just left me broke and loitering and I met a man about a dog we lingered on the consequences of our being born Chorus

33 Bus 03:58
dime store burden and you're losing your hair overpass keeps your secrets as if I care if you let yourself loose of course I've had my share I'm out drinking 'til 9am with the cocaine chasers on the 33 bus (it's alright, it's okay) god ain't around at least he never seems to show his face in this part of town I ain't got no friends at least not the kind that wanna sink into the bitter end the rent's never due when it's you and your dog by the tunnel where the train comes a rumblin' through well, I guess I depended on the kindness of a few with the cocaine chasers on the 33 bus (it's alright, it's okay) with the parking lot ghosts and a paper bag it ain't talking to yourself and my cig ain't a drag the bolts only come loose if you're thinking too hard well, don't think so hard (you always think so hard) its okay! we got cocaine chasers on the 33 bus (it's alright, it's okay) God ain't around at least he never seems to show his face in this part of town and I ain't got no friends at least not the kind that wanna sink into the bitter end the rent's never due when it's you and your dog by the tunnel where the train comes a rumbling' through well I guess I depended on the kindness of a few with the cocaine chasers on the 33 bus (it's alright, it's okay)

Like A Bird 03:35
it's very strange this time of year I don't know you, but we get along the nights are tiresome and I am weak just give me a year or two and then I'll speak Chorus crow like a bird for love take chances and sing for love break hearts, lose rings for love just make damn sure that it's love my pen is cheap and my hair is long I'll meet the freaks sing their song about a world of love and pain about a world where we are born again and we go wahoo a wahoo a wahoo a woo crow like a bird for love

I'm running for the door I'm trying, but I'm such a whore neon's flashing my favorite disease phony, phony, phony, baby please Chorus I'm holding steady in the back of this bar I've got a head full of ideas that I'm dragging through the mud whisky high, I don't remember my name I'm just an animal that cannot be tamed she's a pistol in heels with a cheetah coat I'm draggin, she's reeling me in by the throat she's daydreaming of night curled up with a snake should I break my promise or is it a mistake Chorus

It's Coming 02:46
It's coming...to the forest ...up river ...through the jungle now ...down market ...up broadway ....to times square now And I'm gonna buy, buy a gun It's coming...to montrose ...to ojai ...to your little town ...to london ...to oakland ...to berlin now And I hope this ball don't fly into the sun It's coming....to the desert ...to the ocean ...it's coming soon to a wasteland near you And roger I do believe this race is run

it's been a long while in this shady motel enough rocks and whisky to give me some hell i gotta country heart and a california mind girls i spent the evening with have come and gone got this ol' guitar but i don't hear no song i wish i was the one clad in black this ocean view has got me useless i have grown soft and i've grown bored give me them landlocked blues and that jukebox honky tonk i wanna feel like t-bone or merle haggard i want the lows to be legitimate sometimes i feel like such a california clone i just gotta spit

Goddamn 01:52
every time I go way across town a voice tells me no but it can't bring me down cause I'm off to find my sweet relief in time to fight these cold sweats and to release this ol' mind Chorus cause it's goddamn hard to look out on the street It's cold and it's darkness thriving to a beat and it ain't god's drum and it ain't god's son no it ain't god's drum and it ain't god's son Chorus well this big ol' ball turns like it should and my thoughts are thrown right into the sun
