LYRICS

Maybe we'll meet on the road
From Darwin up to Jericho
I hear the old ones softly say

For the weak
For the strong
For the old
For the young
We are bound, we are bound, bound by love

They tell me to cross the river but I cannot swim
I see my mama and she's getting thin
She's doing everything to keep us fed and warm

For the weak
For the strong
For the old
For the young
We are bound, we are bound, bound by love

Don't you know ma says if you're going to go fast, then you go it alone
Don't worry ma, I'm out in the field and I'm taking it slow, together we'll go

We are, we are, bound by, bound by
We are bound, we are bound, bound by love

Don't you know ma says if you're going to go fast, then you go it alone
Don't worry ma, I'm out in the field and I'm taking it slow, together we'll go

Can there ever be equality
No soldier, no refugee
Can we walk together now in peace

For the weak
For the strong
For the old
For the young
We are bound, we are bound, bound by love

LYRICS:

long hair and longer stride
  and your cut off painter pants
 chargin down the craggy mountains with our thrift store friends
 who you find so... so in love with the falling earth
 oh you wake in the middle of the falling night with summer playing coy
 in the attics of the city night
 we talked corso and the MC5
you could dance like
we were all ALL right
only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
 one i met in the green mountain state
 i dropped out, and he moved away
 heard he got some land down south
 changed his name to a name the birds could pronounce
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and the rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
 stars are up now no place to go but everywhere... no place to go but everywhere
 and in the city the mayor said
 those who dance are all mislead
 so you packed your things and moved to the other coast
 said you gonna be like charlie rose
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch
 stars are up now no place to go... but everywhere
 only the wild ones, give you something and never want it back
 oh the riot and rush of the warm night air
 only the wild ones, are the ones you can never catch

LYRICS:

Aw it's dark outside
I’ve been trying to get a ride
(While) my body waits, my body waits

America warm my face
I've been trying to turn the page

Once i was a little boy, staring at my shoes
You came along and found me in the chicken coop

But time takes over, i can't say when
Time takes over, may we do it again

Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Take me down to main street with no clothes on with our bare feet on the

Painted yellow lines with our shadows far behind us
Broke into that summer school and fooled around on the infirmary cot
And we can be like all those fairies making their rain angels in the eddies
And I have no expectation just an adolescent heart

Take me to the beachhead let’s go over
All of those rocks at the end of the road
Help me down the seawall let's find Marci
See if she got that

Invitation to the movie, the one where the kids break out of juvie
And then by their own admission they go and turn themselves all in
Just as they get there to the station,
The young one wheels and begs the pavement
For brother speed to make arrangements with the spirits of the night

Take me to the race track let's go bet on
Aw the one that no one expects to win and
Let's bet on the skinny horse he will surely try the hardest to come in first

I bet you for the winner they put on some kind of fancy dinner
Let’s be like those Philadelphia sisters
That have prayed straight for a hundred years
I have no expectation, just to be here in the present
And behold you for a second before it all goes away

LYRICS:

I walk down the road looking for my tribunal
Like tom and huck stumbling down the aisle of their own funeral
Please goddess of the road, get me on my way
 
You see my love just left me so I’m on my own
And my heart’s banged up looking for a foster home
The highway moon is getting me dizzy
 
I see a mirage of medusa,
A top of an Appaloosa, what I wouldn’t do to be with you and your caboosa
Whispering to Mr. beck now who’s the real loser
 
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
 
A PYT ushers me back to the rear
I haven’t been many places and i definitely haven’t been here
To think i was just a lonely soul in the cold with my thumb out
Now I’m rolling a smoke and being told to stick my tongue out
 
We bounced and blared and so did the Lorry
She teased my hair and held me close with a story
Of rag tag visions as the moonlight poured in
Second star to the right and straight on til’ morning
 
Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then
I‘ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin’ and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride
 
Looking at her face was like looking at the sun
She said you can’t ask of everybody what you don’t ask of one
Either way, we got today and that’s all we may be allowed
I know that if we hold it together,
There’s real love we can bring about

Here come again the midnight Lorry,
I think I might be moving along
There’s a lot of places I got to get to,
 I know you’re out there but I never even met you
Take me to the land of no worry and then I’ll just keep playing this song
Mr. Driver I hear the music playin and I see the lights,
Will you throw me a ride

LYRICS:
Come all you London Daughters
And sons of the looking glass
Walking through the sullied water
Na na na you can’t go back
Feeding on the lost and fallen
It’s all we’ve ever done
Can you hear their voices calling
Go now and put down your guns
And as the old wind blows
we’re going down then up

Come all you Dublin fathers
And your next of kin
Walking through the bloodied water
The cancer upon your skin
When we were hit will hit back harder
That’s our refrain
And we’ll make the war go longer
Just so they can know our pain
And as the cadence calls
We’re going down, down then up

Can you see a light burning up ahead
Or feel the wisdom in the ground
Can you hear the story carried in the wind
And see the bird flying up

Come all you wailing mothers
those who have lost so much
Show us how we begin to regain your touch
With your children everywhere 
tracing family names
You’re walking miles and miles
To show them the way
And like the air in her lungs
We’re going down then, down then up

London Daughters

LYRICS:
staring at the pen and ink drawings 
there’s a crow who’s starting to bleed
I go to the bookshelf, myself and a picture of a girl in a bikini
jumping off a dock falls out of page 43
I think it’s my brother’s old girlfriend who’s married to a woman now

my father walks like he’s run out of oil
he lurches and jerks his way around the farm
my mother walks towards him the same way she led her last horse away from the barn
we’d just built a fire to soften up the ground
you could see her saying through her tears it's okay boy, come follow me one last time

maybe, don’t know, can’t tell, if it’s so good
so good, so good, to be living right now

my kids are still young, barely weigh anything
I can carry them easy on each arm,
but I told them I wouldn’t be able to do that forever
and sometimes when I’m carrying them both
the older one says, hey look dad, you can still carry me

maybe, don’t know, can’t tell
yeah but it’s so good, so good to be living right now

so good, so good, it’s so good to be living right now 

maybe, don’t know, can’t tell 
yeah but it’s so good, so good to be living right now
yeah but it's so good, so good, it’s so good to be living right now

What a son to say father let them go
Must’ve been a cappawock

Gone to black land prairie
To a safe house to lay low

And I’ll ride again...

Packed our bags for the Army of the James
Gone to find the last medicine take place

Gone to one way circus
Save a bullet for yourself

Then I’ll ride again..

Still run, the caravan, the caravan, the caravan

LYRICS:

He went to Hyannis to let go of Alice for the third and final time 
I asked him if it worked when he got back, he said he didn’t have the time 
 
the time to tell me anything or the time to let her go
But I guess it wasn’t a good time to press, so I guess I’ll never know, I’ll never know
 
on the way back looking straight ahead, we were hypnotized by the road
saw the coins on the dashboard truck and decide that they could float
 
in the air I looked down at the time, and mistook it for the radio
I thought about the little choices we made along and the song played on as if it didn’t know 
 
May we all be forsaken:
Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep

May we all be mistaken:
about our current state, about the current of hate 
 
bleeding on and on and on to sell our soul
Asked me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe, and I wanted to blame the roots of the trees for pushing up the concrete but now I know
 
in the air I looked down at the time, and mistook it for the radio
I thought about the little choices we made along and the song played on as if it didn’t know 
 
May we all be forsaken:
like the black man trying to breathe, or the woman that’s never believed 
 
May we all be mistaken:
about our current state, about the current of hate 
Bleeding on and on and on and sell our soul
Ask me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe and I wanted to blame the roots of the trees for pushing up the concrete but now I know 
May we all be forsaken:
Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep
May we all be mistaken:

LYRICS:
I saw it for a second but then the light was fading 
Sister morphine was my lady in waiting
Can I help it if I can’t help it now, all the stories I tell myself 
What can I say to you all, it’s fair to say, no words will do 
 
All this time, time is speeding, it’s hard to recognize the life we’re leading 
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss 
 Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life
Was in prison when my daddy died
They didn’t tell me for fear of suicide 
Told me when I got outside, I started using as soon as I was alone that night 
And I died and I went up straight to him
He said where you been, my troubled son
All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we’re leaving 
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
cradle to the grave, sword to the saddle, it’s each other we will miss 
 
Oh the happiest moment of my life, was the saddest moment of my life
 
Oh my love can I just sit and hold your face. We finally made it here but now the light is low.
 
All this time, time is speeding, hard to recognize the life we’re leaving 
it’s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
And in this land there’s shade and shadow, we break bread and consecrate the battle
Now I’m feeling kind of faint, I think I need to lay down    
 
Oh you almost saved me
You almost saved me
You almost saved me now
All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons 
One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration
In the age of feast and famine can we disrupt the social canon
Let our children lead s’we all believe, let us see the forest for the trees

LYRICS:
Came of age racing round the Georgia hills
Grew tall and straight around the backwood stills
you could do anything on the court and field, but you preferred getting high on the roof of the motel
 
One by one all the living that we done, how the days they seemed so long and true
One by one all the whiskey that got drunk, nothing ever felt as good as you
 
I saw you first from the back of the room
We drank together by the light of the moon
Built a fire and slept when the ground chooses you and wake up with the morning sun
 
One by one all the living that he done, how the days they seemed so long and true
One by one all the whiskey that got drunk, nothing ever felt as good as you
 
But can you give us all a sign, I don’t know how to let go or hold tighter still,
remember when you were mine
but now it’s all over, no chance to reconsider, I want to call you in from the outside, I want
to call you in for dinner
but you’re not there, you’re not there, what do I do with the years I have left that don’t belong to you
 
One by one all the living that he done, how the days they seemed so long and true
One by one i got whiskey i got drum, nothing ever felt as good as you
 
Let’s get a jump on this, before it’s too late, can we love each other harder before we all fade away, if there’s any way that we can live without you, it’s to live with all the love that you gave

LYRICS:
Down on the courts in Bed Stuy
A legend rose from the streets
Just a poor kid with no use for what the others called gravity 

People came from all around to see young connie Hawkins do his thing
When the hawk went up against the best at Rucker park
oh how the choir would sing   

High flying kid do you know what you just did 

Is It just a dream love, is it just a dream love, steady you go
Hey pa I think I’m gonna make it, I’m going away on a one way ticket 
Is it just a dream love, is it just a dream love, steady you go 
round here those are always sinking, folks will say connie what were you thinking 

He lead the team in Highschool he never once got beat two years in a row
Got a scholarship to Iowa and knew that he had to go
he sent a letter home, to his papa, said papa I’m going to the nba 
But then out of nowhere his name got dropped into a scandal, always someone got to pay 

I got to got to got to get going now pop, there’s a detective here from the DA 
He’s telling me they’ll lock me away, if I don’t say what he wants me to saaaaaaaay 

So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn’t like they say 
the investigators pushed me around, and then I was black balled by the nba 

That playground legend, who could dunk when he was eleven, with super natural abilities, long before MJ before the Doctor. 
His Dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, never got his day in the sun 
And now here lies High Flying Hawkins the greatest player that never was

So to all the kids on the back home lots, I swear it isn’t like they say 
the investigators pushed me around, and I was black balled by the nba 
His Dreams were stolen, stomped on and thrown in, never got his day in the sun
