one man gang
i kick like a shotgun and i smell like a rose i'm a one-man gang i'm a one-man gang i swing like a big band and i creep up like an overdose i'm a one-man gang i'm a one-man gang and i'm the last of my tribe gone with the bees and the butterflies but what a beautiful ride didn't we burn so bright in the middle of the darkest night i roll like the ocean and i drop like a bomb i'm a one man gang i'm a one man gang i howl like a hurricane and i whisper like a love song i'm a one man gang i'm a one man gang i'm not here to sell you sunshine i'm not here to tell you lies i just came to put the lights out i just came to tell you all goodbye all my best friends are animals all my best friends are animals i wave like a daisy and i bang like a drum i flicker like the dogstar and i rise up like the sun i'm a one man gang and i'm gone

some days you kill
this house has many mansions i'm lost and there's no room in my heart to serve all of these masters or even tell them apart now the leaves are turning grey and all the virgins are dying on the vine the wolf is at the door again says he won't take promises this time and you know how it is to be lonesome and blue some days you kill some days just kill you it started with a shipwreck in a storm and now i'm under a spell it's dark and my intentions are a mystery even to myself it took me so long to get out of this now i'm trying to buy my way back in i'm getting ready for my close up and swingin' for the fences again and you know how it is to be lonesome and blue some days you kill some days just kill you now november's busting out and the time is running faster and the sun is going down on this beautiful disaster and i'm getting ready to shine i'm getting ready to shine now i'm singing someone's else's blues drinking someone else's champagne i will ride this high out until i dry out again now the walls are closing in my excuses and my alibis won't fit i had a dream about my father and i woke up with a cough that wouldn't quit and you know how it is to be lonesome and blue some days you kill some days just kill you some days you kill some days just kill you

world was mine
woke up on the highway again saw a little light felt a little pain time was going by so slow and strange and the world was mine the world was mine took a look around took my time i saw wonders i saw signs the sun was rising on the land of the blind and the world was mine the world was mine set loose in the land of the free guns gold gasoline i cut a swath through the century and the world was mine the world was mine and i got no regrets about the things i wrecked i was building a dream i made the rain come with the light of a thousand suns i made the blood run from sea to shining sea the wind blew the leaves stirred the morphine dripped my vision blurred i was singing and nobody heard and the world was mine the world was mine

long way down
we were born into a fog in a season of hell in the year of the underdog here we chased our heart's desires they threw us right back in the fire it's a long way down maybe your time has come what's your hurry my love kid you're headed for a fall when they find out you can fly they will make you crawl couldn't we walk right out of here couldn't we live to fight another day my dear it's a long way down maybe your time has come what's your hurry my love now you're gone now you're gone and the song has just begun now you're gone now you're gone you belong to everyone things ain't what they used to be sometimes i think about you i remember a melody i wish that you were here with me to burn all these unfinished symphonies it's a long way down maybe your time has come what's your hurry my love

ghost road
when i came to this town i was following a star i waited so long and i traveled so far tell me why does the kingdom have to come so hard i think i'm going home i believe i'm going home sometimes i was faithless and sometimes i was cruel sometimes i got tired of singing the blues but i never got tired of lying next to you i think i'm going home i believe i'm going home and i got lost i got buried in the blues i forgot myself sometimes but i never forgot you now i'm going out into the dark i'm going out into the cold and i'll meet you out on the old ghost road i kissed so many beauties and i killed so many beasts you'd think they could remember my name at least well forget about the doctor forget about the priest i think i'm going home i believe i'm going home i'm flat on my back again and they're ringing the bell maybe i got knocked down maybe i fell was it a grudge match or a love story i could never tell i think i'm going home i believe i'm going home and i got lost i got buried in the blues i forgot myself sometimes but i never forgot you now i'm going out in the dark i'm going out in the cold i'll meet you out on the old ghost road
