1. _ Lady Godiva And Me
She rides unclothed through the streets of coventry
Upon a great cockhorse hair to her knees
I wore a minotaur's mask and i played the moon cow
I was the last to see her anyhow
No one's gonna lay eyes to see
Lady godiva and me
Peeping tom watched the whole thing from the sidelines
Till the peeping tom's peeping had stricken poor peeping tom blind
Even those things that we know can't be seen with two eyes
And all those who look her over are surely to die
No one's gonna lay eyes to see
Lady godiva and me
Burn up the fields of your hallowed fuel
Hotter than you ought to be
Bury my bones in the stinking sands
Casino for the world to see
I got the mean streak
I got the mean streak
I got the mean streak
The folks uptown they live on meat
The things they say i can't repeat
When you're walking down there
Down there
No one's gonna lay eyes to see
Lady godiva and me

2. _ Happiness
Nevermind me 'cause i've been dead
Out of my body been out of my head
Nevermind the songs they hum
Don't want to sing along
There's nothin' that i said
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by i confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Nevermind the words that came
Out of my mouth when all that i could feel was pain
The difference in the two of us
Comes down to the way
You rise over things i just put down
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by i confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Rest of us
Ooh ooh ooh
Nevermind me 'cause i've been dead
Out of my body been out of my head
Nevermind the curse i wore
Proud like a badge
Till it just don't shine no more
That'll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by i confess
I'm bad at this thing happiness
If you find it share it with the rest of us
Rest of us

3. _ Last Days Of Tecumseh
In the last days of tecumseh there in the end
There were rumors of invasion even talk of spacemen
But he couldn't believe all that he knew would fade
In the ground below the airplanes tecumseh were laid

4. _ Lone Star Song
There's a bullet in the heart tonight in the heart of texas
Shout it to the dallasites we are rolling home
They shot an angel in mid-flight and now she won't protect us
Shout it to the bedlamites we are westward ho
Pray the holy war is ending
Like in the films of hollywood
And the angels are descending (important important)
Like koreshians said
They would before too long
Sing a lone star song
They had him nailed up to a t with a t for texas
His disciples with artillery they held the fort inside
And by the time the story broke down at dealey plaza
We've already caught the smoke read the tv guide
Pray the holy war is ending (ending)
Like the films of hollywood
And the choppers are descending (easy words easy words)
Like ma. reno said
They would before too long
Sing a lone star song
Lone star song of the south
Words that can't help
But escape my mouth
When they bring down the house
Day upon day
Day upon day
Day upon day
Ooh ooh ooh
Pray the holy war is ending (ending)
Like the films of the hollywood
And the trumpet's blast is blending
With the crack of burning
Wood/would before too long
Sing a lone star song
Lone star song
Lone star
Lone star song
Sing a lone star song
Lone star easy words come on come on

5. _ Demon Called Deception
I'm in tight with a demon called deception
It's alright he's a treating me quite well
I'm in tight with a demon called deception
He's right beside me when i fail
To whisper words like brother nothin' here is any good
See the birds they're a dropping like a star wormwood
And all i wanted was a little patch of green
We were peasants and the cotton was our king
And in the fields till i sing a prisoner's song
Well deception whistles right along
Right along
Charlie sang for a pocket full of pills
While deception was a clickin' his high heels
We're in tight playing seven one night stands
And deception made me as i am
As i am
As i am
As i am
As i am
I'm in tight
I'm in tight
I'm in tight
Truth is i'm in tight
I barely saw the light
Just as it clicked in
Something saved my skin
Something saved my skin

6. _ Sing Along
(hammerin' hammerin' hammerin')
Hammerin' hammerin'
Hammerin' hammerin'
Halleluhoodwink a hound's life is for me
Everything but the kitchen sink he built it just for me
Hallelu you're the thing that leads me to the mark
I'd build you a river but i'm still not through with this ark
Man built a furnace a mercedes-benz
Man built the cities of kansas and berlin
Man slew the bison and he built a thieves' road (oh oh oh oh)
That pass over tel aviv-jaffa and lead to the mother lode
Mother lode
Hallelu-half-a-wit a mule's life is for me
Steppin' off a parapet with a dog nippin' my knee
Hallelu you're the girl that whispers through the wall
I'd build you a hammer with a thick (thick thick) head and long claws
Man built an empire out of ocean and earth
Man built the prisons of joliet san quentin leavenworth
And man built a market for muhammad ali (oh oh oh oh)
Evel knievel and the legacy of john wayne
Gacy gacy
But i can't sing along (bury my body girl)
But i can't sing along (bury my oh)
But i can't sing along (bury my body girl)
But i can't sing along
Sing along
Sing along
Hallelu hallelu
Hallelu hallelu
Hallelu hallelu hallelu hallelu
But i can't sing along (bury my body girl)
But i can't sing along (bury my oh)
But i can't sing along (bury my body girl)
But i can't sing along
Sing along
Sing along
Man built a furnace a mercedes-benz
Man built the cities of kansas and berlin

7. _ Rock Of Ages
Rock of ages
I am tumbling down
Where the roots of trees
Embrace you
I do fall upon my knees
And ask you how
You can just sit there and be
Rock of ages
I am crumbling now
In an avalanche
I'm reaching for the rock of ages
Rock of ages
Rock of ages
Father now i have stepped
Beyond my bounds
Now the pack i wear
It weighs a thousand pounds
It drags me down
Makes me think crazy
Oh my rock of ages
I have gone astray
I heard my brother call
I turned the other way
Now i'm ashamed
To face him
Oh my rock of ages
Rock of ages
Oh my rock of ages
Rock of ages
Reach for the rock of ages
Rock of ages
In the avalanche
In the avalanche
Heavy rock
And i reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
In the avalanche it falls
I reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
I reach for the rock
In the avalanche
In the avalanche
Heavy rock
Heavy rock
Such a heavy rock

8. _ Side By Side
A fear of falling a fear that i could
From a place high above my stars well i would
Be a liar to say i'm not scared anymore
With a fear of falling on down to the floor
To the floor these have-nots
And haves divide for table scraps
And lantern light and on this spot
At last unite side by side by side
A fear of losing this war is enough
That i hold my head some days in my gloves
And i wait for this stone age to slow to a stall
But i fear we're nowhere near to a crawl
To a crawl these have-nots
And haves divide for table scraps
And lantern light and on this spot
At last unite side by side by side
By side
Side by side
I gotta tell you there's dissension in the soup lines
For they don't have much to show
And if you don't believe you're standing on a land mine
You'll just have to wait till it blows
You'll just have to wait till it blows
Blows
To the floor these have-nots
And haves divide for table scraps
And lantern light and on this spot
At last unite side by side by side
By side
Side by side by side
By side
Side by side by side
By side
Side by side by side
I gotta tell you
I gotta tell you
I gotta tell you
Side by side by side
Side by side by side
Side by side by side
Side by side by side
Side by side

9. _ Drag
Shoot that cannonball into my wings
Shoot that cannonball into my wings
Into my wings
Gunpowder stings
You better tell me sweet things
Unload your pretty head into my ear
Unload your pretty head into my ear
Isn't it quaint
Isn't it queer
You gotta drag me back here
Here
Sing me morrison would ya kizza-my-eyes
Sing me morrison would ya kizza-my-eyes
Singing it low
Singing it high
Would ya kizza-my-eyes
My eyes
Turn me on my ear
When you drag me right back here
Here
You got to drag me right back here
You got to drag me right back here
You got to drag me right back
You got to drag me right back here
Into love

10. _ Honey Don't Think
It's the luck of the draw
How you wound up with me
You don't know how at all
But i beg you to stay
Crawl around on this earth
While the world's still small
Honey don't think
About it too long now
Honey don't think
You're liable to figure me out
Something wrong in my stars
Could you look at my chart
Help me healing these scars
Could you learn to read minds
In the case of mine
Do you read in the dark
Honey don't think
About it too long now
Honey don't think
You're liable to figure me out
You don't wanna figure me out
You don't wanna figure me out
Don't wanna lose
Honey don't think
About it too long now
Honey don't think
You're liable to figure me out
Honey don't think
About it too long now (about it too long now)
Honey don't think
You're liable to figure me out
Honey don't think
About it too long

11. _ Mighty Joe Moon
Have you been to the cumberland gap oh no
Fix your eyes on the green of the map oh no
Where the appalachians rise oh no
Oh no
Have you tasted the finest of trout oh no
Have you slept in a log-burning house oh no
With your feet flopping over the couch oh no
Oh no
Like mighty joe moon there is no controlling him
Drive off a bridge if he choose to swim
Mighty joe moon can't prevent what is heaven sent
Joe can't control where his money goes
He's mighty joe
Have you been to the cumberland gap oh no
The air is sweeter than oranges now oh no
Oh no
And mighty joe moon there is no controlling him
Drive off a bridge if he choose to swim
Mighty joe moon can't prevent what is heaven sent
Joe can't control where his money goes
He's mighty joe

12. _ It's The Life
If the life you have created
Has buried you with luxuries out-dated
And you ask what is the purpose
Too weak to claw your way up to the surface
You resent all of your trophies
They belittle human spirit like a timepiece
That is ticking in your breast pocket
And so you long to reach in and stop it
Then your heart it will be broken
And every sour word that you have spoken
About everybody else
Will return to act upon yourself
If the life you have created
Is founded on jealousy and hatred
It's too late to ask questions
For you're much too old to take any suggestions
It's the life you have created
It's the life you have created
It's the life
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life
It's the life you have created
It is the life you have created
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life
It is the life

13. _ Mockingbirds
Devastation at last finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
And i have been overthrown
Overthrown
And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
Devastation my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself i nearly forgot
Now i am overwrought
I'm overwrought
And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
One day this ground will break
And open up for me i hope it will i hope it will
Salutations at last down on my knees
I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille
Woke from a dream where i was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze i was chained to the helm
And now i am overwhelmed
I'm overwhelmed
And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And i thought if i towed the right lines (devastation at last)
But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
