She Walks In

|
Love don’t follow schedules, love don’t swallow bait
She takes her own sweet time and you just have to wait
But when she’s ready and not before
She walks in the door
Throws her luggage on the floor
Breaks your silence with a roar
When she walks in
She walks in
She walks in
Maybe you’re discouraged, night after night
You dream in color and wake up to black and white
But one fine morning you can be sure
She walks in the door
Shakes your body to the core
Overrides your drab décor
When she walks in
She walks in
She walks in
Will she fly down like an angel, kiss you gently on the cheek?
Or like a hurricane to sweep you off your feet?
You’re gonna see her face in every girl you meet
Til she walks in
If you are patient, if you are strong
If you can hold out til she finally comes along
You can be happy with your reward
She walks in the door
Welcome sailor, come ashore
Here’s a new world to explore
When she walks in

Sank without a bubble, how could anybody get so lost?
But I miss my little rebel and all the trouble that he caused
Down below the surface where your sins are all erased
In the swamps of New York City I go searching for his face
It’s so easy to lose somebody, every time that you close your eyes
One more door that you just can’t open, I’ve tried
I’ve tried
His kisses were like whiskey and his heart was like a spoon
I could take a little taste, but he cut me off too soon
In the days of wine and roses, back when no one counted shots
Some of us survived those years
Some of us did not
It’s so easy to lose somebody when you’re both on that downhill slide
You can’t stop them and you can’t save them, I’ve tried
I’ve tried
It’s so easy to lose somebody, every time that you turn around
How can anyone find somebody who won’t be found?
I got a letter from Chicago postmarked nineteen-eighty-nine
Sayin, Baby’s in the bottle and I can’t get out this time
Was he too much trouble? I let him slip between the cracks
But I love my little rebel, now I want my baby back
It’s so easy to lose somebody in the cold-hearted light of day
When your lovers turn into shadows and fade away
And fade away….

Whiskey Walk

|

|
I’m gonna take a whiskey walk
Gotta leave my heart behind
Runnin from my monkey mind
Mr. Beam come keep me warm
Mr, Daniels be my friend
We’ll walk a road that never bends
On my whiskey walk
On my whiskey walk
I opened up my darkened door
Hoping for a little light
But it was just as dark outside
On my whiskey walk
On my whiskey walk
I was playin with a crooked deck
Til I lost my lucky charm
I put the bottle to my mouth
As I watched my luck run out
I’m gonna take a whiskey walk
I got a million miles to go
On the only road I know
Mr. Beam come keep me warm
Mr Daniels be my friend
We’ll walk a road that never bends
On my whiskey walk
On my whiskey walk

Hole in the Sky
04:49
|

|
It’s hard getting to the street where I live
Do you want to come by?
No taxi’s gonna give you a lift
Through the jungle tonight
Broken buildings cut into the sky
Broken people beneath
It’s hard getting to the street where I live
It’s even harder to leave
CHORUS: But if you can dream
If you can drive
If you can walk, I’ll walk
If you can run, I’ll run
If you can fly I see a hole in the sky
One-eyed man sitting over the street
It’s a hell of a view
If I’d seen the things that he’s seen
I’d close my other eye too
Yellow clouds hanging over our heads
On the edge of the night
Someone’s putting her baby to bed
With a shred of a lullaby
Singing if you can dream…
Ooh, just a little bit higher
Leave the streets to the hopeless, the uninspired
All of these wasted years
I’ve been trying to disappear
It’s hard walking down the street where I live
And my heels are so high
But all my walking won’t take me away
This girl’s gonna fly

Kiss a Crocodile

|
I saw the devil in your eyes
Became your willing sacrifice
You did your best to make me crawl, but now I’m walking tall
CHORUS: I’d rather crawl a country mile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile than wake up to your smile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile
There ain’t no drug like mortal sin
You reeled my lonely heart right in
I sold my soul for just one fix, but now I know your tricks
CHORUS: I’d rather crawl a country mile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile than wake up to your smile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile
BRIDGE: Baby – what do you want from me that you think I don’t provide?
I gave you everything I had but you still ain’t satisfied
And now you expect me to just lay down on your plate
And be your midnight snack
Well I’m gone, I won’t be back
Cause I have had it, Jack
Boy I don’t need this kind of hell
I don’t need anything you sell
I was your bloody valentine, but now the pleasure’s mine
CHORUS: I’d rather crawl a country mile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile than wake up to your smile
I’d rather kiss a crocodile

Drag the River
06:05
|

|
Took a black and yellow taxi to the Bridge of Broken Hearts
Paid the driver with a fifty, left my suitcase in the car
Now all the signs are pointing to my premature demise
But if you come looking for me
You’re gonna get a big surprise
You can drag the river all the way down to the sea
You can drag the river
But you won’t find me
Got your picture in a locket but I’m leaving it behind
Gonna drop it in the water for some other girl to find
And I’m walking outa this town in these torn and muddy shoes
But there’s new shoes to be had somewhere
And there’s new lovers too
You can drag the river all the way down to the sea
You can drag the river
But you won’t find me
They might find my locket, they might find my summer hat
And the diamond ring you gave me, I ain’t got no use for that
But they’ll never find my body no matter how they try
I’m gonna sit down on that muddy bank
I’m gonna laugh til I cry
While they drag the river all the way down to the sea
You can drag the river
But you won’t find me
