In the Blood

Can you be so warm
Can you know what I feel Well, 

it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand

And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I…

Can you throw away everything you live for

Well it's the way we shake and sway (aawwhhh)
And it's the passion that you play

And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah) 
And that's the reason that I...

Too many lost Links in a chain passed down through the years
Through the years, but ending here if we just face the pain And the fear

Did you love before
Didn't they love before you (for you, for you)
But it's the way you move your hands (aawwhhh)

And it's the way you understand
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I want to know (hey yeay yah)
And that's the reason that I'm askin' (hey yeay yah)

And that's the reason that I.. 
La la la la la la la 
La la la la la la la (lalalalalala) 
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la


Good

Lookin' around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'm just too sure
Or maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it

Pieces of note fall down but the letter said (wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa) 
Good, good, good, good, good, good

Sittin' around the house
Watchin' the sun trace shadows on the floor

Searchin' for signs of life but there's nobody home 
Well, maybe I'll call or I'll write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the fourth of July 
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud
Well I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say (wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good...awhh, huuuh...so good. Awh, wahow

It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, wahow)
It was good livin' with you (wahow)
It was good (awwawawa, awwawawanh)
Yeah you were so good yeah you were so good
Yeah....that's right! (really high pitched, low volume, squeaky voice)


Southern Gurl

There she is, white light
Descending like the color of rain July or Fall One thing will never change
Down and out, you were found
This city has you on your back 
You long - for her - to take you away, 
and.. I, I want a Southern gurl 
I need a Southern gurl 
I want a Southern gurl 
Scent - a pine drifting by 
Her hand traces lazy on your neck 
Sunlight through the trees, recalls a better time, 
Kids and dogs running by 
She smiles as she drinks iced-tea 
Retire to the room 

It's easy to see that.. I, 
I want a Southern gurl 
I need a Southern gurl 
I want a Southern gurl 

Heyay, yes I, I want a Southern gurl 
I need a Southern gurl 
I want a Southern gurl 

Take back the night, claim your desire 
Run 'til you crawl In the morning you will find her there 

Yes I, I want a Southern gurl 
I need a Southern gurl I 
want a Southern gurl 
Heyay, yes I, I want a Southern gurl 
I need a Southern gurl 
I want a Southern gurl 
Hey hey...la la la la, hey 
I want a Southern girl


The Killer Inside

Well, she believes that I'd be better off without her
And she believes in me
Well, she believes that time can make things right, yeah
And I wanna believe there's been a change in me

And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me

The lights go down, and the clouds are building outside
You close the door and turn the key

But there's no place to hide And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me
And I-- hope that she believes
Yes I-- wonder if she sees the killer inside me
The killer inside me

The killer inside me
The killer inside...yeaaah


Rosealia


Where have you gone, my Rosealia

Into the crowd, he'll never find 'ya
If you walk real fast, and you stay down low
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last 
You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the fighting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

What has he done, my seņorita
His kind of love is gonna kill 'ya
Do 'ya fake a smile, when you dodge the blows?
So many times, so many chances
This one could be your last
You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the hurting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

Jealousy - can rip your heart out and
Jealousy - can turn a hand into a fist--
You say no no no, the fighting has left you tired
You say no no no, but the fighting goes on

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape 
Put on your mask, my Rosealia
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape 
Put on your mask, my Rosealia

Put on your mask, wearin' your cape hay hay
Put on your mask, wearin' your cape

My Rosealia
My Rosealia

Rosealeh Rosealia 
Rosealeh Rosealia 
Rosealeh Rosealia 
Rosealia

Cry in the Sun

You clean out your room, and under your bed

Lay a picture long forgotten

With a hand to your head, you sigh out loud As the memory rushes over - and buries you Summer rain-storm, but the shed was dry With a girl from Carolina And you held her so tight For the warmth that the rain denied As the time has slowed to a flash So alive, listen to them when they say Cry in the sun When the devil beats his wife If you cry, cry, cry in the sun Hope I never see the price of my freedom...yeah We danced and sang out and traced the moon as it crawled across the night sky And covered in dew, a lovers' pact 'Well heres to now and don't look back' And oh, how I've tried to heed the words written here Cry in the sun Where the devil beats his wife If you cry, cry, cry in the sun Hope I never see the price of my freedom..ooh yeah For everyone, yeah if there's a person, place, or time That brings you back and makes you feel alive Before your reason clouds your eyes Well you could rule the world if you wanted to...yeah Well I hear you're livin' far away And that life's treated you well You know that we were young and this picture's old But I still can hear you say through the pounding of the rain- And oh, if you try Tell me, can you hear them say- Cry in the sun When the devil beats his wife If you cry, cry, cry in the sun Hope I never see the price of my freedom Hope I never see the price of my freedom Ooh yeah

Summerhouse

Down by the dock, hot blood in the sun

The body lays up against the weeds

The locals said the man had it comin'

And it's time someone put him six feet in the ground

Where did she go that night

Where did she sleep when the morning came

To the summerhouse (cha!)

Mrs. showed up to ID the body

Then shed a tear, as she hid a smile

The sergeant laughed and smiled in frustration

One life is lost, while another one is found

Where did she go that night Where did she sleep when the mornng came

To the summerhouse

To the summerhouse (cha!) (cha!)

Where did she go that night

Where did she sleep when the morning came

When the morning came

When the morning came

To the summerhouse


Porcelain 

Hey, you've got a lot of nerve showin' your face around here
Hey, you've got a lot of nerve to dredge up all my fears

Well I wish I could shake some sense into you
And walk out the door

But your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

Just the other day I felt - I had you by a string
Just the other day I felt - we could be everything
But now when I see you, you're somebody else
With somebody's eyes

And your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain

I don't know what I'm sayin'
Well, I don't know if you're there
In the words you are fading
Do you even care-- yeah
Well I wish I could kill you, savor the sight
Get into my car, drive into the night
Then lie as I scream to the heavens above

That I was the last one you ever loved (skin is like)
Porcelain Yeah your skin is like porcelain
Yeah your skin is like porcelain 
Yeah your skin is like porcelain 
Yeah


Heaven 

 

Will you fight for the cause

Can you teach the savage mind - their ways are wrong

Help them see, what they want and what they need

And if we have to twist their arms

They know not what they do is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Heretics and hypocrites wear the same face through the years

Of telling lies and laying blame

Damn the fire to feed the flame

I'll dance I'll sing

I'll try to fade their images planted in your head

And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try

Ivy is just a dog

With a heart that's noble as the greatest man who ever lived

Won't you please help her learn

That if we have to twist her arms

She knows not what she does is wrong

And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try

And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try

And if you said I would go to heaven

Now maybe I'll try

And if you said I would be a rich man

Now maybe I'll, maybe I'll, maybe I'll try

Maybe I'll try Maybe I'll try Maybe I'll try

Coyote Written

 

Heading out, you heart beating in your head

Riding of the Texas wind

Raise your feet as you cross the state line

Waking up, the Mesa sun and the sky

All the way to Tucumcari and Santa Fe seems a stone's throw away, yeah

Coyote! Coyote!

Coming down, the Phoenix sun on your face

Turns it to red by the afternoon And to the right, the Grand Canyon is wide Sing along,

the needle skips in the wind Count the stars of Death Valley

And in the dark, Barstow starts to fade

Coyote! Coyote! YEAH!!!
