Ain't No Good To Me
03:30
|

|
Oscar Wilde said it best
Get your love off your chest
Donovan said it too
Wear your love all over you
But it ain't no good to me (oh yeah)
It ain't no good to me (oh no)
It ain't no good to me (oh yeah)
Elegant as a man
Living in a garbage can
There's no hope without shame
For the love that dares not speak its name
But it ain't no good to me (oh yeah)
It ain't no good to me (oh no)
It ain't no good to me (oh yeah)
Julia, Emily,
Maria, Tiffany
Might as well pay someone
'Cause it seems like that's the way you get things done
But it ain't no good to me (oh yeah)
It ain't no good to me (oh no)
It ain't no good to me (oh yeah)

Ghost Town
02:56
|
|||
|
Everyone saw this coming
Nobody wants to hear
Now there's nobody living
In this ghost town
This ghost town
This ghost town
We saw the water rising
Lived through the hurricane
And then the fires came
To this ghost town
This ghost town
This ghost town
We're crawling from the wreckage
Of a century filled with dreams
Now we need the grass to grow again
In this ghost town
In this ghost town
Onto that roaring fire
We threw our promises
Now no one looks you in the eye
In this ghost town
This ghost town
This ghost town

The Lovelorn Blues
02:12
|

|
I'm lovelorn, baby
I got the lovelorn blues
I'm lovelorn, baby
and so are you
Tell me again how everything that's put together falls apart
Tell me again how I can go on living with a broken heart
I'm lovelorn, baby
I got the lovelorn blues
I'm lovelorn, baby
and so are you
Tell me again how you believe beyond the shadow of a doubt
Tell me again how you can feel the fire after the flames go out
I'm lovelorn, baby
I got the lovelorn blues
I'm lovelorn, baby
and so are you

Let That Bird Fly Away
04:04
|

Let that bird fly away
Find a new kind of inspiration
Don't keep her in that cage
Not in that cage or any other
Let that bird fly away
She's brushing back her hair
From eyes that hold another world
Of possibilities,
realities, and mysteries
Let that bird fly away
Let that bird fly
Let that bird fly
Let that bird fly away
There's more for you to see
Places that you can't imagine
There's more for you to be
There's more pieces to this puzzle
Let that bird fly away
Let that bird fly
Let that bird fly
Let that bird fly away

Magdalena
02:59

|
I know Magdalena's not real
But I still remember how she made me feel
It's a lie no truth can conceal
And I miss Magdalena
Oh yeah, I miss Magdalena
I know there's some things I can't fix
But maybe I can still teach this old dog new tricks
Like how to stand on his hind legs
Before he rolls over and begs
Come on, old dog, roll over and beg
I know that time just moves one way
But memories linger from long ago days
Not every memory is true
The only one matters is you
Yeah, the only one matters is you
'Cause I know Magdalena's not real
But I still remember how she made me feel
It's a lie no truth can conceal
And I miss Magdalena
Oh yeah, I miss Magdalena
I miss Magdalena

I love you so bad it hurts
with a kind of pain that I don't mind at all
I love you so bad it hurts
I love you so much I don't
have anything left for anyone else
I love you so much I don't
I love you so much I can't
drink enough so I can forget
the way your love burns like a lit cigarette
but I love you so much I'll never regret
that I love you so much I can't
I've loved you so long I can't see
all the way back to the morning before
my love came knocking around at your door
and I might as well admit that I'm yours
I've loved you so long I can't see

Bad
03:18
|
|||
|
I know it's bad, baby
Baby, I know it's bad
I mean no harm but I know
People who mean no harm sometimes cause the most
I got it bad, baby
Baby, I got it bad
And there's no cure for it
Now that this absence has found a presence in me
I need it bad, baby
Baby, I need it bad
'Cause it's been so long
Since we went to that place where all the dreams come from

Keep Your Eyes Wide
02:54
|
|||
|
Keep your eyes wide, my son
These days will only be here once
And sometimes the dream that comes true
Is not the one you expected to
Because dreams work that way
Because dreams work that way
I've had enough solitude for now
And enough staring at screens for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
Keep your shirt on, old man
This is not the way to the promised land
But I can see it from here
Keep your eyes wide, it will become clear
Because love works that way
Because love works that way
I've had enough solitude for now
And enough violence and hate for the rest of my life
For the rest of my life
