Lloyd, I Would've Done the Same

Oh lord, what have you done now
Did you get my letter
And are you feeling better
You know you haven't been the same since you met her
Ione
Oakland's not the same without you
But I won't stop thinking about you

Journal Square Train

It was that same dream again
Where the world ends and she begins
I still taste her lips
I still feel her hands on my hips
She's tough as nails
She's clever, she's pretty
East side Manhattan
New York City
And it's all her's
Close my eyes and she's gone
I can't sleep at night
All her friends say I can't do right
But she said "Beautiful on the inside"
And dragged me out into the cold city sunshine
On the train to Journal Square
Headed only god knows where
And this is the new romance
Some say that angels hover
Above the beds of distant lovers
As they sleep alone
Oh, but above my bed
That's where angels fear to tread
I'll hide and hold my breath and wait
How much longer until you?

Cut You Up Good

(You leave the ground you're gone)
Slashed to ribbons
Something inside you ruined
Slowly fills you up
You've not been able to
Let yourself be swept away
You do everything you want to
You do everything you want
In out of the gray
Sleepwalker
Slow and steady backwards slip
We've been over this before
Tubes in your neck and eyes
Buzzing halo of hungry flies
We watched the old things sicken and fail
We let the old things sicken and fail

Red Velvet and Roses

Let's sit down and watch him bleed to death
Let's record the sound of his last breath
"Please, please - spare my life, take me but not my wife"
Well it's your house - scream all you want to
The way they try to fight
Let's go again tonight
The way they scream and hiss
Sounds just like black cat music
We sneak around like two black cats at night
Remember when you showed me how to hold your knife
I know my head's messed up from all the turpentine
But I'm still pretty sure I want you to be my valentine
Make some of that black cat music for me
You and me
Allergic to the sun
And with the world gone we won't need anyone
You under red electric light
Let's you and me burn this town tonight
All the blood like red velvet and roses
Twist you into so many poses
You were all red velvet and roses

Wine in a Box

Let's get high on your sister's pills
I'm yours you're mine, got a box of wine
You start me up just like Dexedrine
Meet me down at Adeline and Ashby
Get a head all full of pharmaceuticals
I've never seen anyone so beautiful as you
Tonight
Going to take you out tonight
Wine in a box
All the people say
We're mean and that we're evil
And you know they just might be right
Let's drive your car I don't care where
You are with your fresh-dyed black hair
Get a head all full of pharmaceuticals
I've never seen anyone
So beautiful as you
Tonight
Gonna take you out tonight

Haunted Hotel Colorado

Seen you around before
You were sleeping on floors
Now you're coming clean
You're almost nineteen
Put you in my pocket
Live inside your locket
That night in your car
You almost stopped my heart
You're so very pale
Haunted hotel Colorado
Across Wyoming
One hundred twenty miles an hour
Hot dust and cowshit wind
It's killing all the flowers
I don't want to die
Please try not to hurt her
But I'll gladly die
If she'll commit the murder
