Keepin' Time
We’re workin’ the wheels
they go round and round
gettin’ lost
in the shape of sound
we take long breaks
but we’re holdin’ the line
that ol’ clock keeps tickin’
but who’s keepin’ time?
And the long and the short of it
if there’s a song just start singin’ it
keep spinnin’ it ‘round
‘til you hear the right sound-ahhh
Maybe if I’d known you sooner
we’d be in halls of fame
we’d have awards for lifetime achievement
and ties to organized crime
Maybe if I’d known you sooner
we’d both be millionaires
we’d both have private islands with navies
Where the sun always shines
but who’s keepin’ time?
Now we come for the fun
and we’re doin’ our thing
and there’s never ever never ever never a plan
for which song to sing
And both the long and the short of it
if there’s a bell just start ringin’ it
keep spinnin’ it ‘round
‘til you hear the right sound-ahhh
So if it get’s too hard
go to a place that you know
where everyone is keepin’ time
and you never have to pay to get into the show
Maybe if I’d known you sooner
we’d be in halls of fame
we’d have awards for lifetime achievement
and ties to organized crime
but who’s keepin’ time?
Maybe if I’d known you sooner
we’d both be millionaires
we’d both have private islands with navies
Where the sun always shines
but who’s keepin’ time?
Maybe if I’d known you sooner
we’d both be millionaires
we’d both have private islands with navies
Where the sun always shines
but who’s keepin’ time?

Let’s go walkin’
Babe I’m workin’
‘till ‘bout a quarter to three
Ya’ know I tried to get off earlier
but livin’ doesn’t happen for free
Let’s go walkin’
down by the river tonight
you know I love the city livin’
but the hills have got me feelin’ alright
I wanna get you talkin’ about leavin’ here with me
but I can’t seem to find the right words
So let’s go drivin’ till’ the tank runs dry & we’ll be
right as rain and as free as birds
woo hoo hoo
let’s crawl in back for a while
yeah we’ll park under a tree
and I swear I’ll make it all worth your while
Let’s get goin’
under the blue moonlight
Yeah we’ll stay between the lines until we
turn to chase a meteorite
and I wanna’ get you talkin’ ‘bout stayin’ here with me
but I can’t seem to muster the courage
So let’s keep parkin’ ‘til the sun comes up we’ll be
right as rain and free as birds
This ain’t over
‘till we say that it’s done
so let’s point this baby west
and win this little race with the sun
We should keep rollin’
girl you know that it’s true
you don’t fix what can’t be broken
you just keep on travelin’ through
I wanna keep you talkin’ ‘bout the rest of your life
but it always comes across as absurd
so let’s keep on lovin’ ‘til the sun goes down
we’ll be right as rain and as free as birds
whe hoo whe hoo hoo
whe hoo hoo
yeah let’s keep on lovin’ ‘til the sun comes up
we’ll be right as rain and as free as birds
woo hoo hoo
la la la la la la
la la la la - la la la la - la la la la - la la la

Under the Tow

Under the Tow
I been thinkin’ a while
about the toxic style
of the men in your cars
on those amplitude, modulated, dials
Yeah there’s a way to go
before we really know
what goes on in the shadows
and under the tow
you may not care, but I know how you feel
I got your heart in my pocket
and this feelin’ is real
there’s a secret haste
once you get that taste
to follow her down, down, down
assemble that crown
There’s a secret pride
that you feel inside
when you take control
when you rise – fit to be tied
And you might have doubts but you’ll take my dare
you got my eyes in your sockets
and a million-mile stare
And they say you are holy
that you’re a holy roller
you started with everything
and then you got older
and you take your sun when the sun is shinin’
and you do your drinking when it rains
And they say you are holy
that you’re a holy roller
you started with everything everything
and then you got older
and you take your sun when the sun is shinin’
and you do your drinkin’ when it rains
yeah you take your sun when the sun is shinin’
and you do your drinkin’ when it rains
yeah you take your sun when the sun is shinin’
and you do your drinkin’ when it rains.
I said you take your sun when the sun is shinin’
and you do your drinkin’ when it rains
yeah there’s a way to go
before we really know
what goes on in the shadows

State the Obvious
I try to state the obvious
but you refuse to understand
that you’re breakin’ all the records
for a failure to plan
Can you tell me where it’s written
That you‘ve a fortune in the hand?
Its just a painting on your wall
the one of you your biggest fan
And nobody knows it
nobody knows it better
The future is comin’
The future is comin’ together
And nobody knows it better
that the future is not planned
‘cause you told me where to find it
It’s there written in the sand
And nobody knows it
nobody knows it better
The future is comin’
The future is comin’ together
And nobody knows it
no nobody knows it better
The future is comin’
The future is comin’ together
So I try to state the obvious
that the future is not planned
‘cause you told me where to find it
it’s there written in the lines on your hand

Thin Wire
I’ve been workin hard
all day long
I don’t know why
so I wrote this song
I’ll row this boat
against the stream
and I’ll win this race
against my dreams
And my dreams they don’t come cheap
‘cause you sow just what you reap
and though you came in with no priors
you got me walkin’ a thin wire
And I’ve been fakin
everything
since I got taken
at seventeen
so hold me down
under the water
and I’ll do the extra
time manslaughter
And I been takin’ it
day by day
I don’t recommend it
anyway
‘cause it gets harder
to pull the plug
when they keep inventing
designer drugs
‘Cause those highs, they don’t come cheap
‘cause you sow just what you reap
and though you came in with no priors
you got me walkin a thin wire
you got me walkin’ a thin wire
and I’m bleedin’ brains
and that’s desire
you catch fire
you catch on fire
I’ve been placin’
long shot bets
then I spill the beans
like I got Tourette’s
but I hold the flame
and I guard the fire
and I’ve been learnin’
about desire
and satisfaction it don’t come cheap
‘cause you sow just what you reap
and though you came in with no priors
got me walkin’ a thin wire
‘cause those dreams they don’t come cheap
‘cause you sow just what you reap
and though you came with no priors
got me walkin a thin wire
you got me walkin’ a thin wire
and I’m bleedin’ brains
and that’s desire
you catch fire
you catch on fire
got me walkin a thin wire
you got me walkin’ a thin wire
and I’m bleedin’ brains
and that’s desire
you catch fire
you catch on fire
you got me walkin’
walkin’ on a thin wire

Riptide
She's a cool drink of water
in the shade beneath the sun
in the shallows she's a dancer
in the waves she is the fun
she makes a long impression
with her shadow on the sand
water beaded on her skin
both milky-white and tanned
My baby
she lies over the ocean
and my baby
dives deep into the sea
and my baby
invented all motion
and my baby
is salt on the breeze
and she'll take me down
to my destiny
to my altered state
she will invest in me
she will prepare me
to let others see
what all this time
has been inside of me
She is mist above the waves
with every breath she fills my lungs
I surrender to her riptide
sediment, and twisted tongues
My baby
she lies over the ocean
and my baby
dives deep into the sea
and my baby
invented all motion
and my baby
is salt on the breeze
and she'll take me down
to my destiny
to my altered state
and invest in me
she will prepare me
to let others see
what all this time
has been inside of me
and she'll take me down
to my destiny
to my altered state
and invest in me
she will prepare me
to let others see
what all this time
has been inside of me
has been inside...

Day of the Moon
It was a rainy day
at the people’s fair
but there was sunshine in your eyes
I never seen you made up
I never seen you made up before
whoooao
It was a perfect day
for lovers to find love
and we did, yes we did
two lovers found love
whoooao
and time just slips away
between the sheets, and yesterday
and time will make it up
in love, in love
It was the day of the moon, day of the moon
high noon, day of the moon
I was walkin’ I was talkin’
I was screaming at the sky
Day of the moon, day of the moon
high noon, day of the moon
Aaooooooooo
It was a sunny day
at the gathering
but there was moisture in your thighs
I never seen you naked
I never seen you naked before
whoooaoo
And time just slips away
between the sheets
and yesterday Whoao
and time will make it up
in love, in love
It was the day of the moon, day of the moon
high noon, day of the moon
I was walkin’ I was talkin’
I was screaming at the sky
Day of the moon, day of the moon
high noon, day of the moon
Have you ever felt a love
a love that was stronger
you could look around but it’s nowhere in sight
have you ever been lonely
with nobody holding you tight
And time just slips away
between the sheets
and yesterday Whoao
and time will make it up
in love, in love

Make a Plan (Come Together)
Friend I’ve been wanderin’ since I don’t know when
scratchin’ like a rooster up on a hen
I’m takin’ my time like I’m drinkin’ my gin
I’m sharp and and I’m hard I gotta pole-cat’s grin
I’m sometimes a cowboy and sometimes a saint
and sometimes I am and sometimes I aint
& I’ll paint this town red if you say that I cain’t
I can act with discretion or abandon restraint
& I’ve been wanderin’ in circles forever
but I can’t make a plan come together
Now they say that a man cannot come to heel
that he’s halfway divided between a dream and what’s real
and he’ll take what he’s given if that is the deal
and he’ll pardon your crimes and hear your appeal
And he’s been wanderin’ in circles forever
but he can’t make a plan come together
yeah he’s tried to a fault to become worth his salt
but he can’t make a plan come together
You’ve been wanderin’ in circles forever
But you can’t make a plan come together
and you’ve tried to a fault to become worth your salt
but you can’t make a plan come together
Now in Old Eldorado a tribute still stands
because a plan that came together from disparate strands
and they all tied up real neat in those broken Badlands
there were no weapons drawn, and no laying of hands
We’ve been wanderin’ in circles forever
let’s make a fuckin’ plan come together
yeah we’ve tried to a fault to become worth our salt
let’s make a plan come together
yeah we’ve tried to a fault
to become worth our salt
let’s make a plan come together
let’s make a plan come together
let’s make a plan come together
hit hard & land like a feather
we can’t depend on good weather
let’s make the plan come together
Let’s make a fuckin’ plan

Slow Burn
Its another Friday
news dumpin’ on me like
the walls are comin’ down
and I’m holdin’ on
just tryin’ to find the
pieces of my broken crown
It’s been forever
since I felt so much heat
that I had to douse the fire
you know I won’t lie to you
about anything
much less my desire
In another life
I die young
in another life
I die free
In another life
I die in your arms
in another life
you burn me
In the shade of the Joshua Tree
So let’s make a play date
when I’m with you baby
it all just drifts away
‘cause you light my fire
you got me burnin’ all night
I really like the way you play
So when my light goes out
just burn my body
in the shade of the Joshua Tree
Just enough
to be unrecognizable
nothing for a mother to see.
In another life I die young
in another life I die free
In another life I die in your arms
in another life you burn me
In the shade of the Joshua Tree
In another life I die young
in another life I die free
In another life I die in your arms
in another life you burn me
In the shade of the Joshua Tree
Slow burn me
