Lyrics

Holy spirit, come and take me, holy spirit come and take me
I am right here and waiting

Take this body and lay me down, take this body and lay me down
I’ve been forgiven I’ve been found

Holy spirit, come and take me, holy spirit come and take me
I am right here and waiting

Please don’t cry when I’m gone, please don’t cry when I’m gone
It is my time I must move on

Holy spirit, come and take me, holy spirit come and take me
I am right here and waiting

Some fine day we shall meet, some fine day we shall meet
And I’ll be right there and waiting

Holy spirit, come and take me, holy spirit come and take me
I am right here and waiting

I called you on the phone, you said to please leave you alone
But I can’t help when I’m so far away
I could wash your car, I could comb out your hair, I would do
These things for you if you let me

All the wind will die down, all that’s lost will be found
Everything green will turn brown for us, for us

I believe you should, if it were up to me, I would
sit and listen to you talk all day

If you wanted to, I could make something for you
You could eat it and watch the tube, like ham and eggs

All the wind will die down, all that’s lost will be found
Everything green will turn brown for us, for us

Black bird rattle your cage
Throw off the night burn down the day
Bastard though may you be
Black bird sing a song for me

Loud and Clear for us all to hear
Before you disappear.

Dark arts feathers the same
Grey skies remember your name
Heart shaped like a skeleton key
Black bird sing a song for me

Loud and Clear for us all to hear

I had a few drinks and got to running my mouth
About this job that we pulled in this town down south
Now all I do is run and hide.
The price on our heads got higher every day
The man that we robbed was willing to pay
Anyone who could track us down.
It was one of those heists, impossible to achieve
But not for these two overconfident thieves.
Yeah that was us that pulled that one.
(Chorus:)
Never rob a gangster never rob a man who’ll put you in the river instead of the penn.
Listen to me my young friend.
Theres a million dollar a payoff a million my head,
Everyone I meet wants to turn me in dead
Come one, come all if you think you can.
Loose lips will sink ships dead men tell no tales
But a drunkard with a dollar is destined for betrayal
My partner in crime turned me in.
He thought he was making a life saving deal
They fed him to the fish with cement on his heels
That’s what happens when you squeal.
(Chorus)
Now I’m on the lamb, still hiding from that man
I keep on hoppin from the fire to the pan
My time is running out.
The young man said to me, sir I’m here to take you in
He had me dead to rights so I shot him in the chin
And then I finished my drink.
(Chorus)

Dear humming bird
You never land on any perch
Why don’t you come down
And stay awhile.

This is such a fevered pace
I could never keep up with you
Some things just aren’t made to last
What becomes of the past

You dredge it up and never look back.

The final word
Is more clever than any church
Try to make that old sound
And make me smile

This is such a fevered pace
I could never keep up with you
Some things just aren’t made to last
What becomes of the past

You dredge it up and never look back.

We were playing chicken, Death on the Radio
Faster than the consequences, of the here and now
Collapsing innocence, breath in stereo
Falling faster than we could ever know, and finding our own truth

And all we said was do it again X2

Time is the space, that lies between you and me
Farther than it used to seem, like it was dream
Sometimes I think, we might find each other
Chasing photographs of our own imagery, but it’s blurry

And all we said was do it again X2

Don’t weave between the lines, Or stay outside your mind
Don’t leave this behind for someone else to find
I was standing here all this time

All we said was lets do it again…
All we said was lets do it again…
All we said was let this never end…
All we said was lets do it again…

Will you let me in
To the light again
With your arms open
Fair-weather friend.

Would you see that I am
Imperfectly
Devoted to thee
Until the bitter end.

Life you know, doesn’t it feel good you’re laughing now
perhaps more than you should.

If friendship is
A ship that never sails
I will be your wind
When mother nature fails

Life you know, doesn’t it feel good you’re laughing now
perhaps more than you should.

I cannot undo this
Yes I have burned this bridge
Would you give me lumber
To build it up again.

Lets take a vow for the lonely hearts tonight
Lets show em all how two wrongs can make a right
in the morning hang me out to dry

This old house gets as quiet as the moon
Close your eyes cause I’ll be leaving soon
in the morning I’ll be gone from here

I don’t mind killing time
We can watch the paint dry
That old train is coming down the line
In the morning we can say goodbye

Go write your name upon the cities walls
So folks will know that you’re a work of art
And in the morning you walk right by

The sands of time like the hands of a clock
When it starts remember where it stops
in the morning we can tell some lies.

I don’t mind killing time
We can watch the paint dry
That old train is coming down the line

In the morning we can say goodbye
In the morning we can say goodbye
In the morning we can tell some lies

You don’t believe me now but I will show you how you’re killing Kittenger
It seems so far away because of what they say, we could fall to Eden

We see the stars in your eyes
We see you losing you mind
I’ve been waiting for this, show me what it’s like to let go while you’re falling
Even though the sun is burning you.

Can we forget about the world and what we left were all trapped in our minds
Were just filling space easy to replace like you I’ll leave this place

We see the stars in your eyes
We see you losing you mind
I’ve been waiting for this, show me what it’s like to let go while you’re falling
Even though the sun is burning you.

We see the stars in your eyes
We see you losing you mind
I’ve been waiting for this, show me what it’s like to let go while you’re falling
Even though the sun is burning you.

If God is a ghost then he’s never haunted my house
If God is a father he’s late on child support
If God is a son we can send him off to war
Leave his memory on a wall and his blood in the soil

Why do I get so perplexed
What makes a sound in the forest
Just be yourself and no else can tell you your wrong
Cause your on your own, go find your own way, In this world

Someday I’ll ride between windmills and giants
The red dwarf is shining its light on us with science
A man is small but his mind is big he can swim with the worms he can craw with the fishes

Let’s rejoice, give this void our voice, we were sent here from the heavens to be the memory of this place
Just disappear in the here and now, at this moment you are present

Daddy called to say he had a substance abuse problem I went to see him in the hospital
Playing checkers in a robe of white and sipping on Phenobarbital.
Aint it funny how the apple falls so far from the tree.

Later on in a session of therapy he said some things that we couldn’t believe
I’m gonna change as soon as I get out here I’m gonna be the man you need me to be
words are easy to ignore when you’ve heard them all before.

I don’t mind it but I know I should
It don’t bother me but I know it could

Daddy called to say he had a substance abuse problem I went to see him in the hospital
Playing checkers in a robe of white and sipping on Phenobarbital.
Now I don’t pick up the phone when my daddy calls

I don’t mind it but I know I should
It don’t bother me but I know it could
Daddy called, daddy called, daddy called for me

I been down this road a couple of times
I know this road twists and winds
If we’re not careful we’ll go over the side

Bringing home a case of moonshine
Brakes are shot, engine startin to whine
If we don’t die we’ll get drunk tonight

Kicks like a mule tastes like turpentine
We can fill yer jug up for a dime
Put hair on your chest, turn a backwoods girl fine

Police coming up from behind
The lights come on wheels start to slide
No way in hell they’ll pull us over tonight

Times are tough since the country went dry
Hard to make a living getting people high
If we don’t die we’ll get drunk tonight.

Kicks like a mule taste like turpentine
We can fill your jug up for a dime
Make a short man tall, make a husband love his wife.

Standing on the gas she’s giving all she’s got
Smokes coming in the engines gettin hot
It’s a good day to die and I think we found our spot

Grab your seat were goin o’er the side
Looks like we took our final ride
The only thing getting drunk are the rocks tonight.

Kicks like a mule taste like turpentine
We can fill your jug up for a dime
And it might bribe St. Peter in dry times

Snow fell on the window of our broken rental car, as we pulled off the road
10 miles from the county line where we’ll start our new lives and leave the old behind
Headlights shining in the mirrors slowly drove on by us, as we sat in the cold
You closed your eyes and whispered are we gonna make it, and I said I don’t know.

We’re just standing by the road, waiting for Godot,
I know someday he will show then me and you can go
Save us from ourselves, save us from ourselves.

Hold the carrot ever higher, just out of reach so we don’t give up hope
So we’ll continue to keep waiting, anticipating for the day he’ll show
We’re just standing by the road, waiting for Godot, I know someday he will show then me and you can go.
Save us from ourselves, save us from ourselves.

We tried all night to leave this life.

We’re just standing by the road, waiting for Godot, I know someday he will show then me and you can go. Save us from ourselves, save us from ourselves. Save us save us

Did you ever hear a car running outside and think to yourself I’d like to get inside and drive away from here
Put on the radio and let it play tell the desert that I’m on my way and watch this town just fade away in my mirror

Too late to turn back now
Too late to turn back now
Too late to turn back now
We came we saw we lived we loved
We had enough to go around
We can’t be found on any map
Wherever we are is where we’re at

I don’t recall how I lost control it seems like yesterday I had it all then life hit me like a cannonball in the gut
Someday we’ll all be an artifact the sand and bone still well intact they’ll want to know how we lived like that for so long

Too late to turn back now
Too late to turn back now
Too late to turn back now
We came we saw we lived we loved
We had enough to go around
We can’t be found on any map
Wherever we are is where we’re at

So it goes for us ashes to ashes dust to dust.
