Hellbound Hearts

Everybody's saying prayers
Everybody combs their hair
Everybody folds their flag
Right and good is such a drag
And who are you if you've got nobody?
St. Peter's going to turn us away
On the morning of the judgement day
So hold me tight when the rapture starts
We are hellbound hearts
They're all making heavenly plans
And holding soft pink heavenly hands
All feeling one another's pain
We laugh and sip french champagne
I don't want anybody else
I can feel the flames licking at our heels, dear

Fallen on Hard Times

Pick up the phone, it's only dial-tone
Only thing going to be ringing tonight
Is your ears
You've fallen on hard times
It's just that life's unkind
Lifeline!
Goldmine!
The futures calling
Oh, but the sky is falling
Never, ever going home
Never, ever going home
It was hard enough just to be alone
Now get ready for the fall of Rome
Money, cash money
You've fallen on hard times
You've been left behind
Life is simply that unkind
You've fallen on hard times

We Don't Have Much Anymore

I got enough pain for you and me both
Just wait until you hear this song that I wrote
I'm driving towards the edge of town
To the empty lot that we both found
Same faces are still around
There's no place left to go but down
"Look both ways before you cross our path"
We made new roads and left no maps
You and me had it all before but
We don't have much anymore
So I hear you've come back from sea
Somehow it doesn't interest me
The way it used to
I did, though, hear the buoy clang
I saw you smile and show your fangs
And I remembered
We don't have much anymore

Watch Out

China Lake

Downtown
Hear the Puget sound
It's just about to rain again
We're curled up inside
We'll never talk about it
But it's in your eyes tonight
No more blue skies
Just cold flourescent lights
Someday
We will find a way
On the road to China lake
Everyone's a vulture
And you're a dove
You're in love

Full on the Lips

The girl's got style
She lets me hang around sometimes
Smooth like white patent leather
Us together
We both know this can't last forever
The night that I turned twenty-one
Midnight at the rose gardens
And we're a thing that just can't be
But when you sleep next to me
Oh, infidelity
She kissed me full on the lips that night
And though I can't explain
I've just never been the same
Head to toe in Valium blue
Keep us a secret
Keep on waking up next to you
Woke up this morning on your own
The only thing we'll ever be is all alone

One Foot in the Grave

Your mother said you were the clever one
Bright future and beautiful son
Still, somehow you've been mislead
That's why you're dressed like somebody's dead
You've got to have been mislead
You're dressed like somebody's dead
You've got on foot in the grave yourself
It's the promise you couldn't keep
And all the days you should've stayed asleep, boy
But you've got no regrets
As heaven knows the sun always sets
Oh, all the various sorrows
I can see today but not tomorrow
I only want to sleep by your side
And stay there until the end of time

Outside Rochelle

Born in a bathroom in rural Illinois
Silent but with the fire in your eyes
When you were still just a little girl, they said,
"This one's set to take over the world"
A summer night, sweet sullen seventeen
Feeling unhealthy and mean
They knew when you stepped through the front door
Because it felt colder then the Chicago morgue
"I don't want anything, I want it all"
You've made such a mess
You've messed up your dress
Cold file and resting head
You opened your soft blue lips and said,
"Light as a feather, stiff as a board"
Moments before you left this Earth
You were as bloody as you were at birth
And when they came and tried to sew up your wrists
You'd clenched your hands into little red fists
"Where has our baby gone"
