Coming through the past
Its our nonsense future
We got a bright bright night
But its all in our music
Coming through the past
Coming through the wall
Coming through your head
It’s all we got now
Look around to see
Where you wanna be
Listen to the Sound
It’s all we got now
Hey Hey do it again (x4)

There is just one thing we know how to do
Getting what we need gonna give it to you
Gotta keep loving here the whistle sound
Loaded up and steady not strung out
Just like me, Just like you
Im a good son, honey cant you tell by my silver spoon
(Chorus)
Give me life give me cover
Give me truth gimme trouble
She’s a pretty little thing just knows what to say
She does a ooo ooo and a hey hey hey
Gotta keep loving cant put a good woman down
Ready for a mean night young guns come out
Just like you, Just like me
Im a good son, honey cant you tell by my pretty teeth
(Chorus)

Antique Heart

Last night I had myself a feeling
Its no wonder but it felt fine to me
Took a lesson from the no where rollers
If there is one thing that they know
Its how to be free
I sat onto of a lonely city
Looked into the street and saw my face
Fresh blood on my mind and jacket
I wanna riot but it ain’t my place
No it ain’t my
(Chorus)
There’s rust on my chest
Got it from the rain and the loneliness
Whats wrong with my antique heart
Starting over is the hardest part
You got your woman and I got my wine
Had a talk with a friend of mine
I cant see her but she takes care of me
I ain’t sick, but I need a doctor
Now she’s telling me I gotta find a better way
(Chorus)

Adam Tree Blues

Picked a golden apple from a sacred tree
Momma had a baby, but it ain’t me
She know the future, she got the receipt
I know she knew it all along, now she comin for me
Momma taught me good, taught me where not to go
Taught me how to love but told me what not to do
She know the future, she got the receipt
I know she knew it all along, now she comin for me
I know – I only got one chance to know my kin
I know – if she finds me out I’m gonna know my sin
I know – if it weren’t for me this wouldn’t ever begin
I know –
I’m a sinner
I’m a son
I’m a ghost, I’m the only one – so c’mon
Tried my best to hide from the heavenly sound
Found myself a girl and we snuck around town
And now she talking to a snake with a crown
You know he’s sayin lots of things and they all got me down
Momma got my number, you know she can tell
Momma knows best, she gonna damn you to hell
She knows the future, she got the receipt
I know she knew it all along, now she comin for me
(chorus)

Lost In The Tiles
05:42
|

|
Another moonlight morning – now it’s comin’ strong
And we lose ourselves in the northern song
Another silhouette dancing on my wall
And the face of the past smiling down the hall
Another gin and tonic morning – now we rest our heads
Before we say another prayer and take us back to bed
Then the dreams that we buy from a dusty bag
They’re gonna save us from the curse of the fearful man
(Chorus)
It’s alright
We’re never better
I have mine
You come and get her
Another black and white morning – now we’re paranoid
And we soak up the light from the celluloid
And all the pretty girls come around my door
But I’m lost in the tiles checkered on the floor
(Chorus)

Sister Sugar

Sister sugar let me be
I love you best when your not with me
Sister sugar got to give me time
Your going to know to leave it all behind
Sing me songs like you did before
Write me letters on your telephone tonight
I wanna love you, but I don’t know how
I wanna need you, but you bring it down
Look at me put a record on
You love in colors, but your missing one
See the smile on your pretty face
Sister sugar gonna let me taste
Sing me songs like you did before
Write me letters on your telephone tonight
I wanna love you, but I don’t know how
I wanna need you, but you bring it down
I fell in love today, but there aint no sense in going wrong
For a lady love, if you cant take her home

Instigator

When I was a child
I was a smarter man
You know I knew my heart
From my bitter hand
When I was a child
You know I spoke the truth
You know I couldn’t lie
To a girl like you
(Chorus)
I need the beggars release
I need the preachers belief
I need the profits sight to make it right
And be who I will be
Now I sold my soul
For another way
Figured wouldn’t want nothing
Just another day
Coming to the end
Now I trade my skin
With a bigot woman
And her skin -tight sin
(Chorus)
I’m not talking past or future
I’m not speaking from god -like heights
I don’t want another instigator
I don’t care about wrongs or rights

She got those slender fingers and those scheming lines
Her name is teenage fable
The boys all wait in line
Wears a big crown queen
In her small little life
Damn Stella you alright
(Chours)
My woman see what you done
You wanna push push
You wanna uhuh
She don’t know if she dead or alive
Stella don’t know Stella don’t know
She knock me of course with them dark cat eyes
She starts a tickling my devil inside
Gotta be the queen in a another mans life
Damn Stella you alright
Chours
She got no need for words she in that black and white
She gonna push on you till you get her right
Gonna be the queen in another mans life
Damn Stella you so fucking fine
Chorus

Potter, Potter
07:35

I’ve known it since birth
I know what it’s worth
The Potter’s Callin
Sayin that I’m Stallin,
(Bridge)
Every time I see my soul
My hands are tired
My dice don’t roll
Every time I take control
My feet don’t move
My heart don’t know
I did it again
I lost what I had
And Something’s Calling
And I’m still wrong and
(Bridge + Chorus)
(Chorus)
I’d like to take the time
To recognize the Potter’s Wheel
The unlit match and the broken seal
But tomorrow doesn’t know
If you’re living life on a makers time
Or waiting on Satan to make up his mind
It’s happening soon
I know what I’m doing
The Potter’s Callin
And I’m not Stallin
No More
If this is the end
I want what’s comin
If this is the end
I’ll get what’s comin
(Bridge + Chorus)
