Christmas Card From a Hooker In Minneapolishey Charley I'm pregnant
and living on 9-th street
right above a dirty bookstore
off cuclid avenue
and I stopped taking dope
and I quit drinking whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the track.
Deep Red BellsHe led you to this hiding place
His lightening threats spun silver tongues
The red bells beckon you to ride
A handprint on the driver's side
It looks a lot like engine oil and tastes like being poor and small
And Popsicles in the summer
Deep red bells, deep as I've been done
Dreaming ManI'm a dreamin' man,
yes, that's my problem
I can't tell
when I'm not being real.
In the meadow dusk
I park my Aerostar
With a loaded gun
and sweet dreams of you.
Hold on, hold onThe most tender place in my heart
Is for strangers
I know it's unkind
But my own blood is much too dangerous
Hanging round the ceiling half the time Hanging round the ceiling half the time
Compared to some I've been around
But I really tried so hard
I Wish I Was The MoonChimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight
I Wish I Was The Moon TonightChimney falls and lovers blaze
Thought that I was young
Now I've freezing hands
And bloodless veins
As numb as I've become
I'm so tired
I wish I was the moon tonight
If You KnewAnd if you knew what I know
You wouldn't go to see her
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you
Well you're just another puppet, she's not even keeping score
And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me cold
She'll laugh about you, my best friend, but you don't know
In CaliforniaIn California I dream of snow
And all the places we used to go
With the night falling down
With the night falling down
Now I'm living in Korea Town
Waking to the sound of car alarms
I remember your face when I showed you the ticket
Knock LoudKnock loud, I'm home
Just sleeping to pass the time
Wondering if you'll come by to visit me
Ten years have passed
Since you walked out of my life
But late last night in the pharmacy
You were in the line in front of me
Lion's JawsLion's Jaws
You're gone, the trees are so quiet
When your hand was in my pocket
How they swayed from side to side
Nobody Knows You When You're Down and OutOnce I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, just did not care,
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time,
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low;
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I’m gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins, ‘cause
Prison GirlsWhere am I tonight? La, da, da
My hotel room won't remember me
And this dream will die, die by morning
And this dream won't remember me
Awakened by a droning voice
I love your long shadows and your gunpowder eyes
Is it a lady or is it a man
Star WitnessMy true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a falcon sedan 1969
The paper said '75
There were no survivors
None found alive
Trees break the sidewalk
This Tornado Loves YouMy love, I am the speed of sound
I left them motherless, fatherless
Their souls they hang inside-out from their mouths
But it's never enough
I want you
Carved your name across three counties
