I never was one for goin' out stealin' around All the pretty ponies want to saddle up and ride And turn me into just another piece of hide There's no need to gamble when you know you've got the real deal When the fire starts burning down below your belt It's easier to lose with the hand that you've dealt When you're on fire with the flames of desire Nothin' comes easy when you make yourself so easy Do ya open up for business when your man leaves home He doesn't even know that he's out there all alone I met a pretty pony, and she wanted me to be her honey But she was in the rearview as I drove down the lane I can't help but wonder if you'd do me the same When you're on fire with the flames of desire

Spun out of time, my love Happy to be alive, my love Hands on the wheel, my love Tightly gripping still, my love I won't go back, I won't go back Everything is black, I won't go back Death on your tongue, my love Head gently hung, my love I won't go back, I won't go back Everything is black, I won't go back What is it like, you say Breath is all gone away I won't go back, I won't go back Everything is black, I won't go back

The Dark Sea 03:24
Is there anything to do tonight? Let's get dressed up to kill 'Cus I been workin' in the salt mines And I guess I always will I don't mind what we do tonight In the middle of the story The hero never dies They always save it for the ending 'Cus that's where you and I Make it home, where the dark sea Leaves us alone, like we wanna be While we drink this whiskey on ice Let's make a toast to sin 'Cus even the author dies When he makes it to the end I don't mind what we do tonight Let's rewind, and we'll do it all again

Pretty Dress 05:06
How much longer dear, can we stay in this town? Never should've come out here -Should've turned around All I do is break my back down in the mines But there ain't no turning back this time Too many mouths to feed -Not enough hands to bleed All they sell at the company store are hollow dreams The boys are getting restless down in the hole With your face all covered in dirt, make you feel like a mole Put on your prettiest dress You're the only light in all of this darkness The word came down the pike that we're hanging up our shovels They say that the National Guard is rolling up the gravel We just wanna feed our children on better wages They wanna crack our skulls, throw us back in our cages Back in some far off city, the man counts his dollar bills There ain't no train to take us from these Colorado hills If there was a god in heaven, he'd cut down the company killers All I hear is a deadly wind, blowing through the willows Put on your prettiest dress You're the only light in all of this darkness When you fix your hair up nice I'm the luckiest man alive In the softest morning light, they put their guns along the hill They might try to make us break, but they never will Put on your prettiest dress You're the only light in all of this darkness When you fix you're hair up nice I'm the luckiest man alive Put on your prettiest dress You're the only light left in this darkness When you fix your hair up nice I'm the luckiest man alive

Dinosaurs 04:57
All this time, dreaming of the same damn thing Every night, listening to the last chord ring Feeling like a part of a dying age, when Dinosaurs roamed the earth Sweat and blood drying on an old guitar Feeling good, fainter than the farthest star Feeling like the last of an old way, when Dinosaurs roamed the earth I wonder what the end is worth Wish I could remember what I was dying for Maybe it's December for the modern dinosaurs Nothing to discover Bones under the ice age Feeling like the last of an old way, when Dinosaurs roamed the earth Maybe I'm a part of a dying age, I wonder what the end is worth...

The Woods 03:45
Everybody's got a price to pay And a heart that can hurt so mean I was just a lovesick boy I was only seventeen I knew what I wanted I knew what I could not be She knew she owned me outright That only she could set me free I would leave the woods if I could I would take her with me I would make her feel so good But that's not how it came to be That's not how it came to be She got around, kept the fires all lit Yeah boys, she was cleanin' clocks While I was trying to make the rent She was making down the block She knew what she wanted She knew what she could not be I was talkin' babies She was callin' someone else baby I would leave the woods if I could I would take her with me I would make her feel so good But that's not how it came to be That's not how it came to be Now I'm living in the house of straw She's back in the country dirt I've been thinkin' 'bout the natural law How to love someone and not get hurt I know what I wanted Now I know what I would not be The tamer of a wild mare The keeper of a honey bee I would leave the woods if I could I would take her with me I would make her feel so good But that's not what was meant to be That's not what was meant to be

How do you make one out of two? When makin' ends meet is hard enough to do All your dreams are just floating in the air And all your kin just want you to be there You never had a nose for roses You came upon me, thinkin' I was Moses Just like children on the streets of golden I wanna run with 'em, I wanna know them Winter's daughter, you've got eyes of razor blue Stoke the fire in my room Warm sleeper, let me lay down next to you And curl up inside your womb In the bleached white houses of the city All the boys and girls look so pretty But I wonder if they have the gut for livin' You and I don't wanna be forgiven Take me down your favorite country gravel A thousand kisses will wash the road we travel And our children on the streets of golden I wanna know them, I wanna hold them Winter's daughter, you've got eyes of razor blue Stoke the fire in my room Warm sleeper, let me lay down next to you And curl up inside your womb

Bordertown 04:19
In the bordertown, the sweat beads up and the sun beats down Either side you're on now, everyone's got their reasons to get out And the difference has no meaning And the meaning makes no difference 'Cus the line that's drawn divides the wrongs Never separates us from our homes The river draws a crooked line that cuts across a land beyond time White is brown and brown is white, but everything is just grey in my mind And the difference has no meaning And the meaning makes no difference ' Cus the line that's drawn divides the wrongs Never separates us from our homes The heat is on, the stakes are high Everyone finds a way to get by Patrol is out in numbers now, watching every move in the bordertown And the difference has no meaning And the meaning makes no difference 'Cus the line that's drawn divides the wrongs Never separates us from our homes
