Ghost


Is that your ghost starng back at me?

Is that your ghost in the dark?    (x2)


Cause I didn't come when you were calling?

But I, I couldn't fly when you were falling-

I couldn't lift you on angels wings;

I can't even sing like angels sing.

Well, I'm standing here, it's cold

And I'm waiting for you to answer me.


Is that your ghost starng back at me?

Is that your ghost in the dark?    (x2)


I know you had a reason to sin,

but you showed some understading-

but I couldn't lift you on angels wings;

I can't even sing like angels sing.

Well, I'm standing here, it's cold

And I'm waiting for you to answer me.


The bleeding colors of my memory;

have painted truths to the seams...

I know this is not real;

this is how it should be.


Is that your ghost starng back at me?

Is that your ghost in the dark?    (x2)

don't turn away.


Ghost

Feast or Famine


My baby loves me at night
She loves me again in the morning light
we walk together
understand much better
than when we're left 
to our own devices

My baby lets me in her veins
she doesn't mind that I'm insane
and despite the circumstance
we stand a better chance
back to back, and hand in hand

Feast or famine
love and damage
the least exception
or the latest feign

Feast or famine, they say
"Get your heads examined-
how can you live that way?"


I got a feeling I can't shake
and I got a dollar I can not spend
but if there is any chance
for some kind of recompence
resurrection or at least
getting feet on solid ground-

if you do something do it well
this is the best I've found out yet
but there's never enough to share
when you're talking about ego there's
never enough to go all the way around

it's Feast or famine
love and damage
the least exception
or the latest feign

Feast or famine, 
the lives we demanded
how can we live any other way?


You got offended and so did I
then you decided to draw a line
you pick up or lay it down
make a choice and sayy it now
I guess we'll find out what
lines are for


Feast or famine
love and damage
the least exception
or the latest feign

Feast or famine
Feast or famine
Feast or famine,
no middle ground in here

Feast or famine
Feast or famine
you pick one and hold it, dear

Feast or Famine

Old Town


People you see and faces you meet
they know your name and they know what you eat
two dollar bill, man, ain't much green
but that can buy you a cup of meat

in the old town

Sinner at church and you're a saint at the bar
barman or the preacher you cry 'More more more'
We've seen the show and we know the score
there ain't no hiding here anymore

in the old town

the bathroom light is always on
I get dressed even when you're gone
you're stuck on ties you had so long
who can forget what the forgetting's done?

in the old town


The street light is always on
it's the only light from dusk til dawn
we turn around and you say green or red
we turn back, and if you're wrong I win

Andy, Jenny, Worm and Jamie
Sarah Liz, Mark and Carrie
Christopher went unsung
Wolfman sing forever young

in the old town

Old Town

You Ain't Right


You ain't no bed of roses,
you ain't no smile
you're a contradiction after I walked
the first mile
the end of a story
you're the bidge in a song, but

You ain't right just cause you ain't wrong


This ain't the ego-centric
universe
even if it's standard
verse-chorus-verse
there may be a fire
but it won't burn long, cause

You ain't right just cause you ain't wrong


This is you right now

You ain't a lock and
you ain't a key
you ain't a boat and
honey I ain't the sea
you may be on fire but
you won't burn long, cause

You ain't right just cause you ain't wrong


You Ain't Right

St. Virginia Lyrics


You take the high road
wherever that takes you
don't need no advice
it's your own way that makes you
seperate and it's lonely
but suffering brings you to grace

I stick to my road
wherever that takes me
if I buy you some coffee
would you sit down and face me?
and pass the afternoon
I'm reading the lines on your face

Whatever happened to St. Virginia the Slovenly?
I heard they arrested her the day before New Year's Eve
Whatever happened to St. Virginia?


It was 24 hours
'til the judge said 'Put her in jail!'
it's 24 more months
'til you get home and read your mail
and walk through the dark dark city
but you shed light upon the avenue

I haven't just been lonely
been confused, concerned and out of touch
borke and distracted
I don't think about it all that much
only on Sundays, Yeah
That's the day I bend my knee

Whatever happened to St. Virginia the Slovenly?
I heard they arrested her the day before New Year's Eve
Whatever happened to St. Virginia?


You take it or you leave
it comes and it goes anyway
You can't make them believe it
You stick around and hear what they've got to say:
"This is the only life;
This is the only game in town."

You can't take it for granted
it comes and it goes anyway
you take a seed and you plant it
stick around all day, but
you can't make it grow
You just wait for the first bud to show

Whatever happened to St. Virginia the Slovenly?
I heard they arrested her the day before New Year's Eve
Whatever happened to St. Virginia?
