Don’t you think it’s time we got to knowing

What it’s all about

What they talk about

If you’re feeling me now

If you’re feeling me now

‘Cause I don’t want to be misunderstood

Just because you got me feeling good

So don’t be afraid of that sensation

‘Cause I can learn to love

I can learn to love

If you just let me know

Hey, let’s forget it

Let this one roll on

RANCID RIVER

I needed a feeling of alright

Alright, you done fine

And even if you were just alright

This dog I’d let lie

Here I am taking the reigns for you

For you

Fighting off the devils of shame for two

For two

Like a soldier I once knew

Oh, mamma, pull me up

I put my feet down

On the bottom of the rancid river

My motor boat’s sunk

And I’m almost down

To the bottom of the rancid river

And I’m half way down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Half way down

Half way down

You’re in a position to do right

And you got the green light

Just give it a moment of insight

And that green will feel right

Oh, and here I am begging the fates for you

For you

But what curse could ever a prayer undo

Undo

Like in the stories we once knew

Oh, mamma, pull me up

I put my feet down

On the bottom of the rancid river

My motor boat’s sunk

And I’m almost down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Yes, I’m half way down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Half way down

Half way down

Pull me up now

Pull me up

Pull me up now

Pull me up

Pull me up now

I said pull me up

Pull me up now

Pull me up

Been shaking to the same old rhythm

But don’t shake tonight

Don’t shake tonight

Been shaking to the same old rhythm

But don’t shake tonight

Don’t shake to…

Don’t shake tonight

Don’t shake to…

Don’t shake tonight

Don’t shake to…

Don’t shake tonight

Shake to…

Don’t shake tonight

Shake to…night

You knew that I’d never have denied

An injured ally

But know that I have seen in hindsight

We’re just shy of playtime

Oh, and here I am letting my baby blue

Be blue

I’m waiting on the touch of a saint for you

For you

It’s the ending we’ve come to

Oh, mamma, pull me up

I put my feet down

On the bottom of the rancid river

My motor boat’s sunk

And I’m almost down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Yes, I’m half way down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Oh, yeah

Half way down

Half way

Oh, I’m half way down

To the bottom of the rancid river

Half way down

Half way

Oh, I’m half way down

I’m half way

Oh, I’m half way down

Half way

Half way down

I said pull me up

Pull me up

Pull me up

Pull me up

ALL I NEED

Hello

I’m a little tired

Forgive me if I stumble

On the words that I am saying

Hey but so far

I’m doing pretty good

Thought this would be hard

But it’s still harder than it looks

And I’ve got all night

So if you’re up for listening

Well, I just might

Confess a couple sins

I’m feeling alright

And if you want to stay

Until the daylight

We’ll find some demons we can blame

‘Cause all I need

Is a little more time with you

To make me feel better

All I need

Is a vision or a dream to come true

To make me forget

Just wanna know if you can

Help me

The earth is going under

And I can’t breath

It really makes me wonder

Can you save me

Can you save me

Oh, no

I think I’ve said too much

Just gotta go slow

I’ve had too much to drink

I think I’ll head home

And sit up in my bedroom

Singing love songs

To the pictures on my wall

But I have one more thought

Before I walk on out that old door

I’d like to share with you

If you’ll be so kind

As to let me tell a story that knows

No time

About the man I was before

‘Cause all I need

Is a little more time with you

To make me feel better

All I need

Is a vision or a dream to come true

To make me forget

Just wanna know if you can

Help me

The earth is going under

And I can’t breath

It really makes me wonder

Can you save me

Oh, can you save me

Well, I don’t mean no harm

I just wanna show you

All the things that pass through my mind

And I don’t need no arm to cry on

I just wanna know you

So let me ask you one more time

‘Cause all I need

Is a little more time with you

To make me feel better

All I need

Is a vision or a dream to come true

I just wanna forget now

Can you help me

The earth is going under

And I

I can’t breath

It really makes me wonder

Can you save me

Oh, can you save me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

HOLY WATER

You should see the way she combs her hair

And all the little cut things that she likes to wear

You should see the way she looks at me, oh

Something in her eyes puts me at peace

She’s like holy water

On my face

She puts every lover

To disgrace

And the love that she offers

Comes down like rain

Oh, holy water

Holy water

Holy water

Holy water

You should see the way that girl can dance

And the way she fits into her black suede pants

You should see the way she runs to me, oh

And holds me like the roots of an old oak tree

She’s like holy water

On my face

She puts every lover

To disgrace

And the love that she offers

Comes down like rain

Oh, holy water

Holy water

Holy water

Holy water

Now I’m fall…

Fall…

Fallin’

For her

And she’s like holy water

On my face

She puts every lover

To disgrace

And the love that she offers

Comes down like rain

Oh, holy water

Holy water

Holy water

Holy water

Holy water….

Oh, yeah….

ROLLING

He said wake up doll face

Give me a little taste

Got a long trip coming

And no time to waste

Don’t roll on your side

You know that makes me wild

Just give me an inch

And I will take it a mile

She said don’t go so fast

Don’t tell me to relax

Got my mind on the future

And my heart in the past

So leave me on my side

I gotta think a while

‘Cause I can’t keep continuing to

Feel like a child

Everyday

He’s across town waiting on

A plane to Monterey

‘Cause he knows

It’s the American way

And she’s stuck here waiting on

The passing of another day

‘Cause she knows

He makes a living this way

In the light of a dusty bulb

She put her back against the wall

And held tight to what she called

Rolling….

She said goodnight sweet prince

Please remember this

If I forget where I’m going

I will think of your kiss

So come lay by my side

Let’s just talk a while

‘Cause in the morning

I’ll be leaving all of these walls behind

He said do as you will

Give your soul a thrill

You keep it living

But it’s mine that you kill

Cast me to the side

Travel with the tide

I’ll surely be sinking

When the deep blue decides

But not today

She’s across town waiting on

Her ride out to L.A.

She knows she just might be swept away

And he’s stuck here waiting on

His love to fall away

He knows

He may never see that day

In the light of a dusty bulb

He put his back against the wall

And held tight to what he called

Rolling….

Take all my, take all my

Blood and bone

Until you, until you

Make it home

Take all my, take all my

Blood and bone

Until you, until you

Make it home

Wake up doll face

Need to be making haste

Hear an old road calling

And there’s no time to waste

You’re across town riding on

The wind you used to chase

Hello

You can almost hear it saying

Taking off to the great beyond

Not a single trace

Of all sad thoughts of yours will remain

In the light of a dusty bulb

You put your back against the wall

And had a thought that it hadn’t all

Been planned out with a fatal flaw

In the light of the yellow dawn

You find yourself humming out a song

And doing right by what you call

Rolling….

FIRST AVENUE

It’s a strange night

There’s a husband and wife in a big fight

Running out in the street at the stop light

He threw down his phone

She took off on a cab ride

And she’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone

The skaters

On the Union Square pavement had made their

Minds up that this man was not all there

They watched as he cast them a cold glare

And he’s gone, he’s gone, he’s gone

I feel a little buzz

So give me a light

That’s right

If I get her on the line

I’ll call it a night

And I

I’ll move over 1st Avenue

Soon I’ll be above ground again

And I can say hello again

I can say hello again

I want to say hello again

Hello

Had a long day

Your job is not quite going your way

Your boss’s cool comments are sideways

But you can’t throw your resources away

For now, for now, for now

In passing

You notice a stranger harassing

A college girl as she is asking

A street vendor how to get to Delancey

I feel a little buzz

So give me a light

That’s right

If I get her on the line

I’ll call it a night

And I

I’ll move over 1st Avenue

Soon I’ll be above ground again

And I can say hello again

I can say hello again

I want to say hello again

Hello

Ooo… la, la, la

Ooo… la, la, la

Ooo… la, la, la

Ooo… la, la, la

Pick up, pick up now

Or else, or else

You’ll have to bury me deep now

Pick up, pick up now

Or else, or else

You’ll have to bury me deep now

Pick it up, pick it up now

Or else, or else

You’ll have to bury me deep now

Pick it up, pick it up now

Or else, or else

You’ll have to bury me deep now

An announcement

Said train traffic’s slowing us down some

Please be patient

Thanks for riding with us

That’s right when my music just

Shuts down

Come on, come on, come on

I feel a little buzz

So give me a light

If you get me on the line

I’ll call it a night

And I

I’ll move over 1st Avenue

Soon we’ll be above ground again

And I can say hello again

I can say hello again

You can say hello again

We’ll say hello again

PLAIN GIRL

Do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah

Uh, uh, come on

Do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah

Uh, uh, come on

I knew a girl with a ring in her tongue

Her daddy was in Vietnam

They never managed to get along

The truth is he wanted a son

She said somehow I feel

This was all my fault

My fault

I wanna start where my daddy left off

He left off

Now she’s strapping on those black boots

Chopping off that brown hair

Woah, woah, woah…

My…

Oh, plain girl

Your daddy told you many stories

My…

Woah, plain girl

He said that you can have his glory too

The army’s here

So pack your bags and go

Do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah

Uh, uh, come on

She marches the base

With a gun on her hip

She never lets her foul mouth slip

For the first time she sees

How it feels to be fit

See her sliding down that muddy pit

She said somehow I know

This is where I’m meant to be

To be

The Sergeant, he said

He sees a fighter in me

Oh, in me

And she’s putting on that black paint

Pushing to the front line

Woah, woah, woah…

My…

Oh, plain girl

Your daddy told you many stories

My…

Woah, plain girl

He said that you can have his glory too

The army’s here

So pack your bags and go

Up in the morning, quarter to four

We run and we run and we run it some more

We’ll never stop, never fall

‘Cause we gotta kill’em all

Up in the morning, quarter to four

We run and we run and we run it some more

We’ll never stop, never fall

‘Cause we gotta kill’em all

Up in the morning, quarter to four

We run and we run and we run it some more

We’ll never stop, never fall

‘Cause we gotta kill’em all

Up in the morning, quarter to four

We run and we run and we run it some more

We’ll never stop, never fall

‘Cause we gotta kill’em all

Said run it some more

And never fall

Oh, run it some more

And never fall

Oh, run it some more

And never fall

Do wah, do wah, do wah, do wah

Uh, uh, come on

We know a girl

Got her name on a wall

With others lost in battles lost and won

She once imagined

A world with no wrong

She knew she’d never see it all along

Somehow I feel this was all my fault

My fault

I wanna start where my baby left

She left off

Now I’m strapping on those black boots

Chopping off my brown hair

Woah, woah, woah…

My…

Oh, plain girl

I’m telling everyone your story

My…

Woah, plain girl

Maybe I can have your glory too

The army’s here

I’ll pack my bags and…

The army’s here

I’ll pack my bags and…

The army’s here

I’ll pack my bags and go

BORN A QUEEN

Well, I don’t claim to understand

The cards that I’ve been handed

I’m an ordinary man

I’m an ordinary man

But just like the wind needs to be free

In the same way you can see

Yeah, what your loving means to me

What your loving means to me

‘Cause I don’t need to tell you

What I mean

‘Cause I think you were meant to

Be born a queen

And I don’t know exactly why

I’m young, but sometimes I feel like

My life has passed me by

My life has passed me by

But I find that when I talk to you

In a moment just like this

It seems like time does not exist

No, time does not exist

‘Cause you don’t need to tell me

What you’ve seen

‘Cause I think you were meant to

Be born a queen

Born a queen

At times it seems I’ve overlooked

The oceans you have crossed

To make a good man out of me

A good man out of me

But just like the ocean runs so deep

In the same way you can see

Yeah, how you fill my life with dreams

You fill my life with dreams

‘Cause I don’t know how I can

Say what I mean

So I’ll just say that you should have

Been born a queen

Yeah, and I’ll always think that you should have

Been born a queen

45 CALIBER GUN

What was it that you said to me

When I asked you where you going

Said let it be

Said let it be

What was that line you fed to me

When I asked you how you feeling

You said fine

I feel fine

‘Cause I saw you pulling in tonight

You came in real quiet

Put out the light

And you laid down next to me

And whispered in my ear

You said baby, it’s alright

Baby, it’s alright

Well, if you’re wondering why I’m not at home

Ask the guy beside you if I’m wrong

For moving on

If you’re wondering why it’s not the same

Don’t take a lot to see you are to blame

For driving me insane

‘Cause I saw you pulling in tonight

You went it real quiet

Put out the light

And you laid down next to him

And whispered in his ear

You said baby, it’s alright

Baby, it’s alright

But honey, I’ve been waiting all night long

Sitting by the phone while you were out having your fun

So don’t be surprised to find me there

Standing on the corner with a 45 caliber gun

What was it that you said to me

When I asked you why you did it

Said baby, please

I’m on my knees

Well, it’s funny how you couldn’t lie

When I whipped that mother out

It made you cry

I don’t wanna die

‘Cause I saw you pulling in tonight

You went it real quiet

Put out the light

And you laid down next to him

And whispered in his ear

You said baby, it’s alright

Baby, not tonight

‘Cause honey, I’ve been waiting all night long

Sitting by the phone while you were out having your fun

So don’t be surprised to find me there

Standing on the corner with a 45 caliber gun

So don’t be surprised to find me there

Standing on the corner with a 45….

Caliber gun

Me a cold drink ’cause you thought

It would calm me down, baby

Up things from the past that I thought

Were over with, baby

NOVA SCOTIA

If it were up to me

To put us where we want to be

Honey, I pick Nova Scotia

By the chilly sea

Wrapped up in a cotton sheet

The two of us in Nova Scotia

You’ve been on my mind

Since you took a ride

Hope you’re in good company

Many people came

To honor your name

Now I miss you patiently

You like the leaves

On our backyard tree

So I planted one in Nova Scotia

We watched our children run

In the twilight sun

We’ll be chasing them in Nova Scotia

Though I long to place

My hand on your face

I’ll be dreaming you back home

When I feel your hair

In the Atlantic air

I can close my eyes and jump

And go ooo….

And go ooo….

I’ll take my two bare feet

And put’em in the chilly sea

And wait for you in Nova Scotia

When I long to find

A little peace of mind

I find it here in Nova Scotia

I will wash my face

In the sapphire waves

And I’ll be seeing you in Nova Scotia

And go ooo….

And go ooo….

Seeing you in Nova Scotia
