1. _ Blood Red Bird
I was not woken by the rooster
Nor by the crow's tough song
But the midnight cry of a blood red bird
Brought this sleeplessness on
Threw open the window
Moonlight on a black garden of thorns
And the cool wind on my sweat
What cries home
Where cries from
A blood red bird lies in the woods
Weeping into dead leaves
With wing torn and jutting bone
What hand bent it to bust
To be ueseless
What hand i could have done it
With two fingers
A blood red bird
A blood red bird
We can continually sink into each other
Just deep enough to rip out a bit more flesh
When we move away
A scarf of skin trailing out behind
Like an arrow
I was only passing through
A blood red bird
A blood red bird

2. _ Ex-con
Whenever i get dressed up
I feel like an ex-con
Trying to make good
Jean jacket and tie
Feel like such a lie
When i go to your house
I feel like i'm
Casing the joint
In the grocery store
In line behind a mother and a child
I'm going to take take that child
I'm going to take take that child
I'm going to take take that child
See because alone in my room
I feel like such a part of the community
But out on the streets
I feel like a robot by the river
Alone in my room
I feel such a warmth for the community
But out on the streets
I feel like a robot by the river
Looking for a drink

3. _ Finer Days
Granted passage
Into the finer days
How i got here
I do not know
And if it were all to disappear
I would not know how to return
And all of my old friends
Wat me to stay down down down
With them
I could extend them a hand
But they would only pull it off
In their grasp, in their power
So i find myself
Isolated
Isolated in these fine, fine days

4. _ The Morning Paper
The morning paper is on it's way
And it's all bad news on every page
So i roll right over
And go to sleep
The evening sun will be so sweet
I roll right over
And i have this thing
Red apple falls

5. _ Red Apples
I went down to the river
To meet the widow
She gave me an apple
It was red
I slept in her black arms
For a century
She wanted nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
I gave her nothing in return
The ghost of her husband
Beautiful as a horse
Pulled up an apple cart
Full of millions of red apples
For us

6. _ Red Apple Falls
The widow says
It's hard to live
With a man
A man like me
The widow says
It's hard to live
On the lonely version of love i give
And i've seen the way her eyes light up
When she looks at the man in a family way
He's made of iron and he knows the way
And when i think about my brother dying
And my parents trying
To slowly do themselves in
Inch by inch, day by day
And the telephone's ring
Is like a banshee wail
The widow says i broke her first
Of course i say, just the reverse
And we cant get past this
Something she did
On the 14th of june
Because of something i said
On the 13th of june
And we can't get past this
And if we could lock our lips
And block our noses
And swim beneath the barriers
And come up clean
On the other side
But we can't get past this

7. _ To Be Of Use
Most of my fantasies are of
Making someone else come
Most of my fantasies are of
To be of use
To be of some hard
Simple
Undeniable use
Like a spindle
Like a candle
Like a horseshow
Like a corkscrew
To be of use
To be of use
Most of my fantasies are of
Making someone else come
On a horse
Over palms laid
On the threshold
On the coming day
Coming day
Coming day come

8. _ Inspirational
If you're living the unliveable
By loving the unloveable
It's time to start changing the unchangeable
Be leaving the unleaveable
Come on
If you're living the unliveable
By loving the unloveable
It's time to start breaking
The unbreakable
And replacing the irreplaceable

9. _ I Was A Stranger
I was a stranger
When i came to town
Just yesterday
I was a stranger
They dont come much stranger
So why
Why did you believe
All every word i said
Why did you believe
Believe a stranger
A stranger
And why do you women in this town
Let me look at you so bold
When you have seen what i was
In the last town
In the last town
You should have seen what i was
If i was a stranger
I was worse than a stranger
I was well-known
