LYRICS
Love and Gold
(S.Webb)
all you need is love and gold
one can't be traded for the other
when the timeline shows you're old
spend as little without one and the other
excuse me sir, what did you say
I couldn't hear ya, I was on my way
the blue oasis running through this place
if I don't cool down this valley proves its name
take your coin, throw it in the well
don't do no good dusty on the shelf
may be gone forever, but you'll never tell
could be the one to hear all the wishes left to tell
as I saw it standing in the joint
could be forever or a single point
you never know when you're gambling with hell
you're standing in it and you think that all is well
Deep in the Heart
(S.Webb)
deep in the heart out on the fourth
billy d's out on sixth street but he'd rather have the porch
you know he's upset with the thunder all around
he's going to the gov'ner he's gonna go hide out
I didn't see the trainwreck from here
I was lying in the shade but my sweating was severe
you know it didn't seem to be the place to go
and now I'm learning why they sang about the climate and the clothes
wo-oa, it's been a while now
we've opened unending view
so far, on you'll go
so far, all is up
when she turns she's unpredictable at times
I'm sure he would've killed us with fire in his eyes
but we left a note and we made a break for it
some taurine and a couple miles, that bird will never quit
sorry I can't listen to this guy
the comic book collector that you see on sunday nights
I didn't like the smoke blown in my face
he taxed me for spaghetti, but I didn't like the taste
don't make me stay I gotta go
I'll freeze here in this place, my shoes are full of snow
my lips are made of stone, they're carved into a frown
those people were the ocean, they almost wore me down
so let's go catch a sunset at the playground
you didn't get the credit while you were still around
but our days will go young always in our heads
and I'm sure that I will never make that mistake again
Alabama
(S.Webb)
the rain it fell on my face today
and I had nowhere to hide
I looked up to the sky, pleaded why me this time
and the clouds they reminded me of you
the stars they fell on alabama
we were wondering what we should do
they were up there shining bright a little earlier tonight
and when they fell it reminded me of you
Some Eastern Shit
(P.Dalmolen)
hold my breath, close my eyes
does it really matter anyway
it's been worth doing but enough is enough
too many years of the same old stuff
some eastern shit that I tend to forget
making it up from day to day
brings me around to what I've found
everything's the same but still it's strange
ain't it grand, the things we planned
the ever-present struggle of the day
ridin' the rails, drivin' on brail
just gotta make it to the state line
Been a Long Time
(P.Dalmolen)
blitzed on the prarie, just like a cowboy getting high
looking for something in the painted desert sky
into the valley, I see the flashlights on the hill
they're up there waiting and I know piggy wants to kill
he likes to shoot hippies
it's been a long time
been a long time
been a long time
stuck in the middle, I'm on the outside looking in
walls talking to me and my patience wearing thin
it taught me a lesson, I know someday I'll make it fit
stuck in a puzzle and I guess that this is it
this really must be it
