SEA OF LOVE - darlin’ i got to tell you, no one moves me more than you . with the jukebox playin’ and the way that you’re swayin’ i’d be a fool not to love you true . i'll warm you in the winter time and cool you in the summer heat . i wanna lay down beside you and love you from underneath . sometimes the sea rages even when it’s calm . it’s a sea of love we’re sailin’ . an ocean we call home . when the night is darkest and there’s no light from the stars . i’ll reach out for your hand lil’ girl when the storm winds are at our door . i’ll be right there beside you if you should ever cry . i’ll love you till the heavens burn bright and we’re lifted into the sky . an ocean queen is singin’ but there’s no song sweet as yours . it’s a sea of love that we’re sailing, let’s sail until we’re gone . i wanna hear your secrets won’t you whisper to me soft and clear . bathe me in the heat that seeps from your lips when you’re so near . with a truth obscure so profound and pure i’ll sign my name in blood and walk barefoot through a valley of thorns to prove to you my love . sometimes the sea rages even when it’s calm . it’s a sea of love we’re sailin’ . an ocean that we call home . it’s a sea of love that we’re sailin’ . an ocean that we call home . i set out runnin’ a long time ago to California to Montreal to some places i'd never known . but when i saw your face in a small café in mexico at dawn, i knew right then you were where i’d been headed for when I left home . darlin’ I got to tell you no song is as sweet as yours . it’s a sea of love we’ve been sailin’ let’s sail it until we’re gone

DARK PASSAGE - when i leave, i take you off of my team . i take you off of my team for good . you'd be insane to follow me . i draw a line in the sand from you . that indian sign, it brought a troubled dime to me . rumors on the wire . gonna change my identity . alone in this dark passage there's no room for affection . revenge is what i'm after, and no one here knows my name . there's a cancer in the making . something that no one is saying . i'll be no fool for the making . i'm not a fall guy for your taking . that indian sign, it brought a troubled dime to me . rumors on the wire . gonna change my identity . tonight i'm coming up from under the dirt you put me under . the dead don't often wander, but i'm casting spells around your well tonight

CIGAR BOX TO TOE - i'm not a king i'm just this thing with half-open eyes jumping inside . these typewriter keys have a story to read, it's a mystery to me hiding inside . all that you dream gets caught between the feelings that bleed from your head when you sleep . last night's snakes were filled with hate . how many kicks before we break . lucky me miss destiny, fate will claim the throne . serve me drinks to calm my thirst . a fever burns through every pore . pick me up off of the floor . all that you dream gets caught between the feelings that bleed from your head when you sleep . the shot rang down the hall . what a way to go, cigar box to toe . wouldn't you know . the shot rang down the hall . what a way to go . pick me up off of the floor

PATIO SONG FOR THE APOCALYPSE - they're waving from the beyond with daggers in their smiles . gospels full of hate . proud people who don't care . talking with the dead . got lost in the wire . feed transmissions from an unknown place . tryin' to tell you to run before it blows . the whole fucking world will get hit before it knows . and all those pretty devils that are showin' in your town, can be really friendly when there's no one else around . so bar your windows and shut your doors . pretend you're not home when they stumble through your yard . the monsters are all hungry, just like before . there's so much pleasure, love and death together . on my patio

A SICKNESS DEEP BELOW - god, won't you tell me . why'd you do it again . picked me up when i was down, just to kick me in the face again . yea, i've been drinking . with the memory of how you felt but it won't distort the facts none tonight . it won't keep your ghost from comin' back to me . hold me lord, hold me closer . hold me lord, hold me closer, hold me while the night grows colder . this fever, it comes from a sickness deep below . these kicks of violence shatter the silence from where you once laid near . in the room where we once slept, there's only shadows left . tonight i'm like a bad cliche' from someone else's song, i long for what i had as soon as it is gone away from me . hold me lord, hold me closer, hold me while the night grows colder . this fever, it comes from a sickness deep below

QUE SERA SERO - high up on a totem pole smoke and signals glow . the same old plot that steals our thought, this channels all we got . this town knows its phantoms and you can feel its comet pull . there’ll be trouble till the robins come, it’s the smoke that’s understood . tell me why . she wants to be the victim . someone else who’s never there . she's got one foot in a sidewalk . got one foot in a jail . like so many other reptiles we get ink black with loss . we share our hungry hungry-hungers but never what we got . tell me why . rumors in the air, they hang from steely-tellin stares . the city dead whose doors are red say a kiss will lay you rest . i'm toxic from her touch . i’ve become the man who knew too much . a little knowledge can be a deadly thing, que sera sero . que sera sero

MORRISTOWN - sister oh sister . what have you done . Edwin Morris isn’t moving, his body grows cold in the sun . your lips look like they’ve been bleedin’, and that dress momma made for you is torn . what brought that Morris boy to our door has left him dead on his farm . Edwin Morris thought he had the right to the daughter of any man who worked his daddy’s farm . he was born with a devil’s lustful heart and I swear to God I’m glad that he’s gone . but sister, no court here will free you . this is Morristown and this is Morris law . it robs you of your innocence one way or another . your only choice is to run . sister oh sister . I’ll tell mom and dad you said so long . take that west road at the fork in Sulfur Creek . try to hit Fayetteville by dawn . and when you’ve crossed that Texas line maybe then you can slow down from your run . but don’t you ever think about this Morristown you once called home . sister oh sister . sister, so long
