Like an old man in a dress Treat me like a 12 year old man No more hearts Don't know what 20 is Don't know where the tree stands Only follow these hands At midnight I reach for the blind Toward your head, but don't touch it I'll wish I had but when I'm dead At midnight I hit your song It sings again Don't know what age is Don't know where the tree stands I only follow these hands I couldn't make you crazy if I tried We've been swinging 'round the tree For how long now? Maybe she wants to be cared for Stay home a month here A month there Maybe take to the open roads Maybe take to the open roads Maybe take to the open roads At the marriage tree

Along the Palo Duro canyon Red River shows so many eyes. One eye squnting shading from the sun, shoot me. Black as oil, his hair shone Lily white, his skin glistened Restless as the reed between his lips blew. It's just that mean old Texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head What day is this? I quietly asked the sky. What time is it? he asked me sitting up. Love that villain on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head. What are you running from? I asked the white boy. From the guys who chased me there; Come run. I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car. Light up my cigar, I'll light you. It's just that mean old Texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head Love that villain on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head. And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy,... .In my head. He said, You're only indian in Oklahoma. You could be melting in America. White on red, melt with my skin. These two hearts will beat along the walls of our hotel. I need your dark skin to sit beside me in my car. Light up my cigar, I'll light you. It's just that mean old Texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head The last I saw of Oklahoma A gas station fading in the dusk. Goodbye to my father, I thought, I'm carrying the light. The light of my comanche Make sure the dog remembers me I dream the sand beneath your feet I hold the light It's just that mean old Texas sun It makes me dizzy, dizzy, dizzy in my head Love that villain on the run He's got me spinning 'round and falling on my head. And dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy,... .In my head.

I see the sun rise over this wall, I watch it break and slide, See my name See my name on the wall I tried to walk on this wall It fell right under my feet, Now I only lean Only lean on the wall I throw an egg at this wall I watch it break and slide, See my name See my name on the wall

My best friend knows this old guy who Who keeps a picture in his shoe He takes it out after a spell Says, "See" Shouldn? t stare that way so long, baby Stare holes into the walls My dress hangs here for you to wear out I walked in beauty too till I met you Here hangs this chain this thing This old girl keeps, we got it easy So why do you stare that way so long? Stare holes into the walls We? re all honey Dripping through the honeychain And lay our lives down Down and pretty in the honeychain We? re all honey Dripping through the honeychain And lay our lives down Down and pretty in the honeychain Please don? t stare that way so hard, baby Stare holes

A long sidewalk summer Softer than haze on a shrine To the others Harder and harder to find A red wax pile of kind Whose goldfish in the toilet? Don't flush it, it's Freddie Mercury Shining orange Unhinged A moustached amputee Heading out to sea Changing clothes in the kitchen Listen Midnight's falling down on the party The bodies slipping into sleep Like Freddie Mercury

Mother of Muses, sing for me Sing of the mountains and the deep dark sea Sing of the lakes and the nymphs of the forest Sing your hearts out, all your women of the chorus Sing of honor and fate and glory be Mother of Muses, sing for me Mother of Muses, sing for my heart Sing of a love too soon to depart Sing of the heroes who stood alone Whose names are engraved on tablets of stone Who struggled with pain so the world could go free Mother of Muses, sing for me Sing of Sherman, Montgomery, and Scott And of Zhukov, and Patton, and the battles they fought Who cleared the path for Presley to sing Who carved the path for Martin Luther King Who did what they did and they went on their way Man, I could tell their stories all day I'm falling in love with Calliope She don't belong to anyone, why not give her to me? She's speaking to me, speaking with her eyes I've grown so tired of chasing lies Mother of Muses, wherever you are I've already outlived my life by far Mother of Muses, unleash your wrath Things I can't see, they're blocking my path Show me your wisdom, tell me my fate Put me upright, make me walk straight Forge my identity from the inside out You know what I'm talking about Take me to the river, release your charms Let me lay down a while in your sweet, loving arms Wake me, shake me, free me from sin Make me invisible, like the wind Got a mind that ramble, got a mind that roam I'm travelin' light and I'm a-slow coming home
