"Angels on a Passing Train"
Sunday morning sunlight, mixed with moonlight in your eyes from last night
Coffee tastes like birthday cake and we get older with every sip I take
Days they come with price tags like old Air Jordans or Gangster Gold
Your cross eyed stares meet crooked glares as we walk down through the streets of Town
Your laughter is my Jesus, cut down from the cross shaken but alive
Conversation lags with the days first fags, it drags and drags and drags
Smoke levitates away from us, like faces on a queensbound bus
Holding your hand I’m an imperfect man with God on his side, somehow… someway….
Here we go, it’s just around the corner!
Here we go, It’s just around the corner!
Angels on a passing train...
Step into the light!
Welcome to the Doghouse some poor, rich girls gone bashed apart
Where oxygen pops like caviar and we get luckier with each passing car
Making love to the world with an eye for the weak, our souls pumpin blood but a few feet apart
Baby lead me not into temptation, I’ll see your heaven and raise you two stars!
Here we go, It’s just around the corner!(Angels in the pouring rain)
Here we go, It’s just around the corner!(Angels up around the bend)
Here we go, It’s just around the corner!(Angels on a silver chain)
Here we go, It’s just around the corner!
Angels on a passing train….
Step into the light!
"Can’t Take It With You…"
I needed a reason to walk down the street
More then the ground movin’ under my feet
I need a shadow to move me on down the line
A sad Cinderella with a heart full of holes
A barbell in her tongue
And the night is so young.So play old Virginia on your Clarinet
And I light the wrong end of a wet cigarette
Goin’ backwards over the balcony
I lay down laughin’ man I woke up cryin’
The silver moon comes through your glowin’ blinds I see the light and go right to the devil
You can’t take it with you….when you go!
(Oh no!) La La La La
Its three in the morning when the bottle comes down
and Oooohhhh the razor goes around
but your time is your time
And nothing will change nothing will change
Gimme a dollar and I’ll say it again.
Here comes nothin’
Now its going once going twice
The demon is doing his bidding, who am I kidding?
To be in this all night dream
I wind up strumming on my old guitar
The only tune I even know so far!
I see the light and go right to the devil
You can’t take it with you….when you go!
(Oh no!) La La La La
