My Oh My
03:32

I stand
half above the crowd
Sizes change from town to town
Cut from the rest
I’m being tested
by sound
One time I wrote
the purest word
one that the world had never heard
Watched it go
sliding off the page
Cold as night
Warm as day
And I’ve forgotten
what to sing
my oh my
We asked a simple question
but the margins were too small
I’d like to think
I had learned my lesson
Not at all
I tried coffee in the morning
to help remember how you taste
I cried my memories into stories
They fuel the fire
Nothing’s waste
Cold as night
Warm as day
And I’ve forgotten
what to sing
my oh my
I fell backwards off a chair
spent a lifetime lying there
taking in the ground and sky
singing “my oh my”
my oh my
my oh my

Markers

Closer now
I’ll keep the danger at bay
as long as you stay nearby
Catch your breath
and then we can head down south
until we run out of time
We prayed at markers in the ground
But it’s nothing that can’t be turned around
We stood tall and overlooked the world
But it’s nothing
It’s nothing
Don’t worry, girl
Can you see
the path through the oncoming rain
and back to what came before?
Search inside
and when you get old enough
all of this stuff will be yours
We prayed at markers in the ground
But it’s nothing that can’t be turned around
We stood tall and overlooked the world
But it’s nothing
It’s nothing
Don’t worry, girl
We prayed at markers in the ground
But it’s nothing that can’t be turned around
We stood tall and overlooked the world
But it’s nothing
It’s nothing
It’s nothing
It’s nothing
It’s nothing
It’s nothing
Don’t worry, girl

The Habit
03:55
|
|||
I never intended to stay
Kinda seemed crazy
Don’t you think?
anyway
Too many cities to name
The manifest goes on and on
and on and on and on
and on and on
Call me back again
so I can have it
go my way again
and break the habit
I only want to be a star
I’d be committed if it wasn’t so hard
But now I worry more and more that
this cold won’t thaw out in the morning
No, I don’t know where I’m going
I saw a doctor but he told me that
I’m the problem
Of course I want to stop
but I’m always round the corner from a bar
Call me back again
so I can have it
go my way again
and I can have it
go my way again
and break the habit
It’s never going to be the same
so sit back
and spectate
No
Not yet
time to get over it
When the world
is spinning
I will remember this
Call me back to bed
so I can have it
go my way again
and break the habit
I’m begging you to
Call me back again
so I can have it
go my way again
It’ll never happen
here
this way
again

Headed West
03:24

Sun’s coming up over the ocean
Some funny looking ducks are flying by
If you stop to watch the world in motion
the movers will be leaving you behind
If I have to say goodnight
I’ll trace a path across the big, blue sky
that makes the day last a long, long time
before I have to say goodnight
Sun’s coming up on New York City
shining on the people in the streets
They should be grateful what they’re given
but they’re busy finding food to eat
If I have to say goodnight
I’ll trace a path across the big, blue sky
that makes the day last a long, long time
before I have to say goodnight
Sun’s coming up over Chicago
Winter will be something of the past
Spring will spring and bring us a tomorrow
We can all move back and
maybe make some plans
If I have to say goodnight
I’ll trace a path across the big, blue sky
that makes the day last a long, long time
before I have to say goodnight
Sun’s coming up on California
Soon I’ll say goodbye to my new friends
Hope I keep this memory in the morning
Sunset is the only way it ends

Judas
02:39
|

It was bright until Easter
Every day tasted sweeter
That’s over now
So it goes
I know who it is you’re looking for
And know that’s not me anymore
Well I can tell you I’ve changed my name
and they’ve made me saint
or say something else you’d ignore
I know who it is you’re looking for
And no, that’s not me anymore
Baby, I’m living real simply
forgetting you let yourself kiss me
I never minded the wars
I know who it is you’re looking for
And know that’s not me anymore
Not me

Love Me Right
03:05
|
|||
I think I might have caught the tail I’ve been chasing
Have I got to move my feet to find a new scene?
People fill so many spaces
You can get a taste of fame from magazines
No one’s going to love me right
after knowing what the other side feels like
but that don’t mean love ain’t worth trying to find
A true friend is a four leaf clover
They’ll stick with you through the roughest stuff
But what have we learned after this show is over?
You can get away with murder
if you’re good enough
No one’s going to love me right
after knowing what the other side feels like
but that don’t mean love ain’t worth trying to find
Well how do I look?
How do I look?
How do I look?
Tell me, how do I look?
We’re not getting any younger
that’s a losing fight
at least eventually when my head goes under
I can say that I tried
No one’s going to love me right
after knowing what the other side feels like
but that don’t mean love
that old mean love
That don’t mean love
ain’t worth trying to find
