YOUR PAIN MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL, YOU LOVE TO LOSE CONTROL,
AND MEDIOCRITY’S REWARDED SO SET YOUR STANDARDS LOW.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU.
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU.

SUCK ME IN, I’M WILLING, I GET OFF WHEN YOU GO ON
LET ME BE YOUR FATE. POUR IT ON, POUR IT ON.
IN A COUNTRY FAIR OR UNION SQUARE, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A SHROUDED FACE OR A SPRAY OF MACE, I IMPLORE YOU.
I IMPLORE YOU.

CRYPTIC? ELEMENTAL.
YOU TRANSCEND WHEN YOU SUCCUMB.
ONE LAST SHRED OF FRAILTY LEFT,
EMBEDDED IN OUR BONES.
IN AN IMPLODING STAR, OR A BURNED OUT CAR, I IMPLORE YOU
IN A CARBON-ARC OR A DIM LIT PARK, I IMPLORE YOU

SO DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS
PARTICLE.

SO DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN, DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS
PARTICLE

Well, she believes that I’d be better off without her.
And she believes in me.

Well, she believes that time can make things right.
And I want to believe that there’s been a change in me.

[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.

The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside.
You close the door and turn the key,
But there’s no place to hide.

[Chorus:]
And I hope that she believes.
Yes, I wonder if she sees the killer inside me.

The killer inside me.
The killer inside me.
The killer inside…

I am bending
Made of steel
I am stumbling
Towards something real
How can you forget this feeling
Of standing straight while the world is reeling?

Don’t leave me here alone
You’re as close as it gets to home

Don’t look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don’t wait up
We’ll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year

I am hopeful
Full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping
When your worlds on fire
And your chest is beating?

And I want to think you feel the same

Don’t look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don’t wait up
We’ll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year

In this moment
While you’re breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stayed?
As your life just slipped away?

Don’t leave me here alone
You’re as close as it gets to home

I’ll be there if you fall
Love made suckers of us all

Don’t look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year
Don’t wait up
We’ll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year

Worn out in Juarez
Asking the dust for change
Worn out in Juarez
A punch drunk assassin
Getting caught in the rain

Driving all the way from Albuquerque
Living on Funyuns and beef jerky, yeah

Wearing the ages
Mining the seats for cash
Worn on the edges
Faded like a photo left too long on the dash

Busking all the way from Sarasota
Chasing mini thins with cherry cola, yeah

It’s a dreamlife

Hitching all the way from Minnesota
Sunflower seeds in your scotch and soda

It’s a dreamlife
Ah, it’s a dreamlife

Worn out in Juarez
Worn out in Juarez

There she is.
White light,
descending like the color of rain.
July or fall,
one thing will never change.
Down and out,
you found this city has you on your back.
You long for her to take you away.
And I…

[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.

Scent of pine drifting by.
Her hand traces lazy on your neck.
Sunlight through the trees
recalls a better time.
Kids and dogs running by,
She smiles as she drinks ice tea,
Retire to the room, it’s easy to see.

[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.

Take back the night, claim your desire.
Run ’til you crawl.
In the morning you will find her there.

[CHORUS:]
I want a Southern Girl, I need a Southern Girl.
Well, I want a Southern Girl.
Hey, yes, I want a Southern Girl and I need a Southern Girl.
And I want a Southern Girl.

I want a Southern Girl

You’re a long walk in a rain storm
You’re a cut that refuses to heal
You’re a dull ache that I can’t shake
You’re a cold that’s clogging up my head
Or a broke watch keeping time still
Till you pull me in pull me in
And I can’t fight

If the night is cold
And you’re feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you’re wearing thin
Feel you’re giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight

You’re a stalled car in the desert
You’re a song I can’t get off my mind
And in a dire strait
With no hope at all in sight
You come rushing in rushing in
With a lifeline

If the night is cold
And you’re feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you’re wearing thin
Feel you’re giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight

Pull me closer to your breast
I need you finally I confess
I’m drifting I’m drifting
I love you but I hate you too
God only knows what I could do
I’m drifting I’m drifting

Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight
Come on give me one reason
Come on find me in daylight

If the night is cold
And you’re feeling old
And the morning cuts you
Like a knife
And you’re wearing thin
Feel you’re giving in
In the darkest hour of the night
You find daylight
You’ll find daylight

Here you are now
Fresh from your war
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were,
Stripped to the bone
I thought you?d want to know

That when you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I’ll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won’t go again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I’ll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear your laugh
I think that you’ve found you even
Missed yourself
I’m only asking this because I think that
Truth be told
Oh, you’ll never go again
Again

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I’ll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless
Breathless

Lay your hands on the ocean
Lay your hands on the sea
You touch the heart with words
Oooh you satisfy me
You satisfy me
And then you took in hand
Pricked by poisoned pin
Painted the world one color
Oooh you drew me in
You draw me in
We won’t read the end
Ezra pound
And if you say a prayer
Please say one for me
And if you light a candle, baby
Please light… light one for me
Did he say he loved you?
Will you still get through?
Did he say he loved you?
Will you still be…
Will you still be true?
We won’t read the end
[will you still be true?]
Ezra pound
We won’t read the end
[will you still be true?]
Ezra pound
We won’t read the end
[will you still be true?]
Ezra pound
We won’t read the end
[will you still be true?]

You take alice b. toklas and gertrude stein
Put ‘em all together and what do you find?
Alice b. toklas and gertrude stein
You put ‘em all together and what do you find?
Alice b. toklas and gertrude stein
Put ‘em all together
I said sticks and stones can break my bones
But this world can never hurt me
I said sticks and stones can break my bones
But this world
This world can never hurt me
We won’t read the end
World can’t never hurt me
[ezra pound]
We won’t read the end
World can’t never hurt me
Oooh yeah, ezra pound
Down in the mess where i wanna be
Stop and find the things that you have not found
Oh, you can never found
[we won't read the end]
[ezra pound]
I ain’t everything

Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out your lights
Though they say you’ll never know

I remember running through the wet grass
And failing a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.

[Chorus:]
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren’t born
And if they bring up your name
Well they’ll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right

Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you’ll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We’ll find the door if you care to anymore.

I remember running through the wet grass
and falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately Wanting.
