- '49
We loaded rifles with our ragged bitches on
We built the wagons, and we head to Califoria
I've got a lot to say, so you must seat and take it all
Youre father looked at me like a thing that don't belong
Som sorry sailor with no fortune for his daughter
I'll take your words with me - I'll cross the Rockies in the fall
- 30 Coins
30 Coins
When at first I met the man
His heart was beating in his hand
He said we have a mutual friend
But he's let it go to his head
Won't you make it right my boy
And make yourself some thirty coins
- All Saints Day
I ain't no demon, Lord
Look to me please
The good men are sufferin'
With the evil at ease
Millions of innocents
Are born to desease
Where is our solace, Lord?
Oh Lord answer me
- Bartholomew
Oh my god
Please help me, knee deep in the river trying to get clear
He says wash your hands, get out the stains
But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay
Yeah you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay, sayin'
Come on
Oh my god
- Bartolomew
Oh my god
О, Господи,
Please help me, knee deep in the river trying to get clear
Пожалуйста, помоги мне, я стою по колено в реке, пытаясь отмыться,
He says wash your hands, get out the stains
Он говорит: "Очисть руки, выведи пятна,
But you best believe, boy, there's hell to pay
Ведь тебе лучше верить, мальчик, что расплатой будет ад,
- Bones
"Bones"
Your father made a fortune on the pain and torture
Of the labor never payed to build the streets
And as he lay there dyin', he pulled you to him cryin'
He said, "My dear, their faces starin' back at me"
And you said, "Father, whatever do you mean?"
- California Queen
California Queen
Bulbs will burst loud
Flood and fleet
Send their curse down
On satin sheets
Come and settle on me
Bring your bitters and your sweet
- Carnival
It was at seventeen that she was like an unbroken mare
It was the likes of he that put her in an ugly despair
She despaired and he always was leaving
She would jump but her building isn’t tall
And she’d really only likely break her leg from the fall
La la la
La la la
- Daisy
Daisy's got a little drop of blood - she's kept me half awaked so long
And when my eyes, they start to fog - she dunks me back into a jar
Lyin' in a hole 'till dawn - climbin' up and down her walls
And when she gives my arms a tug - I feel my light sart fading

- Exploitation
Contessa, little darling, they're gonna love your limbs
So feeble, so flawless, you will be broken
They’ll dress you in violet, they’ll touch your tender hair
Those demons, the silence you’ll learn to block them
So pick a spot on the wall, stare at it with all the strength you got
If the light is right, see a shape so you won't think at all
In the dark, wide awake when all those men have gone
- Footnotes
It's in dark rooms we explain ourselves
When it's time can we contain, ourselves
So I'll raise a glass to toast, your health
If we know something
We're not saying
We were not born yesterday
We cannot afford to fame away
- Gasoline
We were walking in a circle hand in hand
And your feet were sinking deeper in the sand than mine
You had sold me the mansion in your head
I would cut your hair and you would dye it red as fire
As crackling fire
And i held the phone
So you were not alone
- Impossible Name
I met you in the garden
Putting flowers in a vase
I grabbed and took your pruning sheers away
We drank at sunset stables and cursed the olden days
Well they were wrong but we will get away
Yeah well they were wrong, that’s what I say
You said that God is evil
- Light of Day
Oh, children lost in the night.
Oh, children lost in the night,
wait for the light of day.
Teeth making chatter with pouring tears down your face.
Here's the burden of your guilt, crashing you another way.
Oh, children lost in the night, tryin to ride, open your eyes.
- Light of The Day
Oh, children lost in the night
Oh, children lost in the night
Wait for the light of day
Is your weak and shattered will
Pouring tears down your face
Is the burden of your guilt
Crushing you under the weight
- Moonshine
'Oh Anna, ‘s something you need?'
She answered, 'The stuff’s not cheap it’s true…
But I like it!'
My spirits can drive you to drink
That Marshall, don’t like what it makes you do
So I hide it!
- Poison
Your body went black with the bitters drained
Satin got strapped to a wooden base
Hammer heads clap for a liquid lace
Battery brat and a wicked fade
But if he ladle gets licked, then the suspect's headed for hell to pay
- Sharks Smell Blood
Sharks Smell Blood
The body's not the father's, no the body is the son's
Whisper to me softly that a day is gonna' come
If you want to see the future, it's bound to take some time
Cut your skin across the surface boy, the water's feelin' fine
Sharks smell blood
- The Well
Oh Lord, where's my mother?
She's gonna go to the church tonight
Oh Lord, where's my sister?
She's gonna go to the church tonight
Ay hey, they keep tellin' me, Lord
Boy you know what you're doin' ain't right
Oh, Lord, where are they goin'?
They're gonna go to the church tonight
