DAMN DIRTY DEMONS
Damn dirty demons
And the sting of regret
The kiss of the drug
To help you forget
The saint and the liar
Are strangers in bed
They're friends in the movies
And they're both in my head
Damn dirty demons
Well they fall from the skies
Lit up like angels
With their beautiful lies
The saint and the liar
On opposite walls
One makes you shine and
The other makes you fall
Damn dirty demons
Damn dirty demons
Hey there, Alice
Take this chalice
Drink up and be none the wiser
Damn dirty demons
With their jokes and their smiles
Make me believe
That I could float for a while
Damn dirty demons
They're running their mouths
Make me believe that there's
No way out
Damn dirty demons
Damn dirty demons
EULOGY AT JOSHUA TREE (BALLAD OF GRAM PARSONS)
If they find me in Joshua Tree
Don’t let them take my body
They’ll be riding that dragon away
Through the fire and the flame
In a room far from home
Drinking whiskey all alone
Planning cross-country
To claim my bones
And steal me home
What daddy didn’t know
Before the wheels hit the road
The gasoline and heroine were
Set to explode
At Cap Rock stone
If they find me in Joshua Tree
Don’t let them take my body
They’ll be riding that dragon away
Through the fire and the flame
Speeding down the runway
Trying to catch my plane
Two friends in a hearse took my coffin
They knew what I’d say
If they stole me away
All they ever found
Was a box above the ground
Thirty-five pounds and
A legacy of sound
To bury in the ground
If they find me in Joshua Tree
Don’t let them take my body
They’ll be riding that dragon away
Through the fire and the flame
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
A silent grave in Metairie
Is all that remains of me
In Lousiana swamp land,
In New Orleans
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back to Joshua Tree
If they find me in Joshua Tree
Don’t let them take my body
They’ll be riding that dragon away
Through the fire and the flame
DOWN
Remember the lake that day
When we dove way down deep
I wanted to ride your waves
And fill your memories
Remember the stars that night
How you finally felt so free
I was holding your hand too tight
You just smiled back and squeezed
Remember the trip we made
You showed me your favorite place
I remember the look on your face
After the confession I made, I said,
I’m not holding you back
I’m not holding you down
I won’t let the world
Twist you around
So I’m letting you know
I’m not letting you go
And I’d lift you up
But I’d follow you
Down, down, down
I would follow you
Down, down, down
Remember the looks we shared
The ones no one could see
Remember the fights we had
Knowing I would never leave
You remember how no one knew
That you were mine and I was your secret
Everything felt so new
But I knew I’d come to regret
Not calling your name
Not facing the crowd
Of falling in love
And not saying out loud
So I’m letting you know
I’m not letting you go
And I’d lift you up
But I’d follow you
Down, down, down
I would follow you
Down, down, down
When there’s nothing left
Of this world for us to hold on to
Just take one big breath
Dive deep and I will follow you
Down, down, down
I would you
Down, down, down
INSIDE OUT
Had a dream last night
I was alone with you
I screamed your name
Then I was torn in two
I remember the night
You took me home with you
I followed you in and
You showed me the truth
In my dream last night
I was building the walls
Watching you stare
Catching my fall
When I woke up, no
You weren’t there at all
To soften the blow
Or answer my call
These are the words I would say to you
If I had learned I was a part of you
In your concern you threw my heart away
I don’t need to be rescued
Inside out and torn in two
I have no doubt I was in love with you
Lock me up and toss the key
The pain you cause is the pain I need
In my dream last night
We ran away in the trees
I could feel your eyes
Tearing at my seams
I can’t fight
The feelings that you bring
You’re all around me
And inside my screams
These are the words I would say to you
If I had learned I was a part of you
In your concern you threw my heart away
I don’t need to be rescued
Inside out and torn in two
I have no doubt I was in love with you
Lock me up and toss the key
The pain you cause is the pain I need
There’s a burning inside that won’t let go
I put my flame to the fire and watch it grow
They say it’s always darkest ‘fore the dawn
But it’s been dark here for far too long
Inside out and torn in two
I have no doubt that I’m in love with you
Lock me up and toss the key
The pain you cause is the pain I need
IF I’M BEING HONEST
If I’m being honest
When I said I was kid
I knew more than I should
I knew more than you ever would
If I’m being honest
I don’t know what you want from me
You taught me right from wrong
And showed me how to see what you believe
If I’m being honest
The person I love most
Is alone and thinks that silence
Is the only way to drive it home
And I know
What you say you think is real
And I know
You don’t know how it feels
And I know
That the truth breaks you in two
And If I’m being honest
I never could be honest with you
If I’m being honest
I always thought I needed
Your permission f or the life
I never thought that I could lead
If I’m being honest
The only way I could escape
The circles in my brain was doing
Things that drove me more insane
And if I can be honest
Don’t you think this time it’s overdue
To just be reckless
And realize it’s not about you
And I know
What you say you think is real
And I know
You don’t know how I feel
And I know
That the truth breaks you in two
And if I’m being honest
I never could be honest with you
Say what you need to
And I listen
Stay and take me home
Pray the one saves me ain’t missing
Like you were all along
And if we’re being honest
Saying you believe
In a god that doesn’t understand
That love can transcend a man
Isn’t being honest
And I know
What you say you think is real
And I know
You don’t know how it feels
And I know
That the truth breaks you in two
And If I’m being honest
I never could be honest with you
PULSE
Blood on the pavement and
Blood on the grass
The rain will wash away
But the stains will last
Dust on our eyes
Dust on our dead
Will scatter like the memories
Never will in our heads
Promises that things will change
Promises they say they’ll keep
But when you lose your life, your love
The promises all seem cheap
You’re looking for someone to blame
We’ll never be the same
Fear for your life, your love
Fear for your dreams
Fear that your laughter
Just turns into screams
Fear that the last thing
You say or do will die
And nothing that you’ve done
Has ever mattered your whole life
The stranger lying dead
Next to you on the floor
Will never know what
He lost his life for
You’re looking for someone to blame
But you won’t change
Bodies on the TV
Bodies on our steps
Flags are flying
We’re still dying
There’ll be no one left
Blame the guns
Blame the gays
Blame the error of our ways
Blame in circles spinning ‘round
Just follow the hateful sound
You’re looking for someone to blame
But you won’t change
Gun smoke in the bathroom
Gun smoke in the halls
Cracks in the foundation
From the bullets in the walls
Promises that things will change
If we just look the other way
God, just look the other way
You know you can’t look away
Cause you’re looking for someone to blame
And you all just want us to change
While you stay the same
While you stay the same
And all the victims you blame
All the victims you blame
Remember their names
Remember their names
PERFECT
So many things I wanna ask you
But you’re making me nervous as you cross the room
So many things I wanna show you
Always scared to commit, I run away too soon
Nobody really knows me
I’m a closed-off book just out of reach
Nobody’s really showed me
That I’m safe and I’m sound but maybe that’s me
Scared I’ll never really get to know you
Or opening up and letting you in
Scared I’ll never get to kiss you
That I’ll shut down and never begin
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
Cause you’re perfect, you’re perfect, you’re perfect
Tell me about that tattoo
Tell me everything before it’s over too soon
If you want, I’ll tell you a secret
I’ve got some of my own that I could show you, too
Now we’re losing daylight
If you ask I won’t put up a fight
I’ll have another glass of wine
And if I’m lucky I won’t run away this time
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
Cause you’re perfect, you’re perfect, you’re perfect
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
When you come around I just go numb
I say these words and I feel dumb
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
Scared I’ll never really get to know you
Cause you’re perfect, you’re perfect, you’re perfect
Opening up and letting you in
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
Cause you’re perfect, you’re perfect, you’re perfect
I’m nervous, I’m nervous, I’m nervous
Cause you’re perfect
SON OF A LIE
You might call me guilty but
Baby I’m not scared
You’re only worried about where I’m from
And the clothes that I wear
When I was born my mama tried
And then my daddy when she died
To show me love and a sense of pride
I can hold my head up high
Cause I’m not the son of a lie
I’m not the one on trial
I’m not the one with my feet to the fire
I’ve gone and given you my whole life
But you don’t know what that feels like
Go on and walk a mile in my shoes
I’d like to see you try and pay your dues
I have suffered and I have cried
I’ll hold my head up high
Cause I’m not the son of a lie
You’re the one on trial
You’re the one with your feet to the fire
You would gladly give up all our lives
For the chance to make one lousy dime
Go on and walk a mile in our shoes
Go on and try to pay back all your dues
You’ve never suffered and you’ve never cried
But we can hold our heads up high
Because we’re not the sons of a lie
THAT’S MY HEART YOU’RE STEALING
You keep me guessing
What your eyes are saying
What your lips are tasting
The flavor of it
You keep me wanting
Everything you have and more and
You never need to try but
You know its working
Pull me into you and
Whisper in my ear that
I’m the only one and
There’s no containing this
CHORUS:
Hard to capture feeling
Touch of hope and healing
Indescribable, electric
Dancing on the ceiling
Immovable
Illogical
Irrationality and
That’s my heart you’re stealing
You never need to move but
I still feel the groove
You never need to say but
I still hear it
Pull me closer
Tell me something dark
So I can know your secret
And you can tell me ‘bout this
BRIDGE:
Now I know
I’m not alone
And your smile
Makes me whole
Just hold on
We’ll give it a try
And somehow we’ll survive this
Oooo ahhh
Now I know I’m not alone
And let me tell you ‘bout this
CHORUS:
Hard to capture feeling
Touch of hope and healing
Indescribable, electric
Dancing on the ceiling
Undeniable
Unquenchable
And I’m fully undone
There’s no comparing this
Immovable
Illogical
Irrationality and
That’s my heart you’re stealing
A SONG FOR YOU
One foot on the edge of town
One foot in my grave
I’ll join a band of drifters
And sell my words for trade
I’ll give up on the black and white
I’ve no soul left to save
I’ll confess my deepest fears
And the error of my ways
With no one left to speak of me
I’ve gone and sold my name
If anyone should ever ask
I’ve given up the flame
A courtesan, a prince of thieves,
These are worthy game
But this troubadour of spoken lore
Has not a throne to claim
For the only thought that haunts me now
Is your unwavering smile
And how I long to have you near
Through every weary mile
Though your eyes are fading fast
In the canyon of my heart
I’ll write a song for you, my love
That we should never be apart
I’d give all the world for seeing you
And knowing you’re alright
These are the thoughts that keep my mind
Every sleepless night
For all the gold and escapades
That took up all my time
These are the things I regret now
For only you were mine
And as the roads grow ever long
I step closer to the end
And pray that I may see your face
Behind every bend
For none but these concern me now
My love, my light, my friend
And every word I sing for you
All my love light send
For the only thought that haunts me now
Is your unwavering smile
And how I long to have you near
Through every weary mile
Though your eyes are fading fast
In the sunset of my heart
I’ll write a song for you, my love
That we should never be apart
I’ll write a song for you, my love
That we should never be apart
I’ll sing a song for you, my love
That we should never be apart
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
Daddy came home after dinner was done
Drank his heart to stone
He would crash and burn
And it was always your turn
To take the pain alone
And as the years went by
You asked mama why
She never said a word
Hiding in the closet and the bathroom stall
It took years for you to fall
No one knows the sting
The shame the silence brings
Feelings you can’t control
But you know you’re good inside
And you can feel the pride
Of everything you are
You are not alone
You are not alone
No, you are not alone, no
Following the darkness spiraling down
Just lift up your frown
That’s what they say
But you just count the ways
Till you could disappear
Energy in vain
The struggle to stay sane
Month after year
No, no, you are not alone
You are not alone
No, you are not alone, no
And if you try
To give up on life
No need to say a word
You’ve already been heard
And if you need, I’ll be here
But you know you’re good inside
And you can feel the pride
Of everything that you are
You are not alone
You are not alone
No, you are not alone, no
