Lonelier Back Home

They used to tell me where you'd been
and all the hijinks you'd been in
at the slightest touch you'd blow your top
and I'd be the one too pick you up
Yeah I know it's only in my mind
cause you're the one who leaves me every time
We used to pretend you could drink
so under the table we'd all sink
Your rapier wit, your killing glare
you laid us all to waste just with your stare
And I know it's all my make believe
cause you're the one who waits for breath from me
I know it's lonely where you've gone
believe me it's lonelier back home
Sparkling pearls, evening gown
I'd draw a smile right upon your frown
I'd thank you every time you helped me
although you never asked it of me
Yeah I know it's just my make believe
cause you're the one who waits for breath from me

Beat Up Old Town

Captain Earl and Uncle Dumbass
Got high on Listerine
Flipped their truck on the putting green
But at least their mouths were clean
In this old beat up town
Reverend Southpaw was a greedy man
With his hand in the collection can
He partied hard for a holy man
But he could really throw 'em down
in this old beat up town
And all these girls don't want none of these boys
With their silly toys
They long for city noise
Because a pretty girl can just drown
In this old beat up town
Some time a long time ago
Some old lonely dude
Found this place
And settled here
Now it's a thousand family feuds
At a snail's pace
Fueled by beer
So, you take the good and you take the bad
Hang out with high school grads
Wearing stripes and plaid
And you grill your ground round brown
In this old beat up town

Long Line of Strangers
04:37

We've been coming here for so long
the nights are never lonely now that you've been gone
friends in need will never stray too far
oh I can see them near me, lined up along the bar
I come from a long line of strangers
I can see them all thinking of the past
looking back I should have seen the danger
losing you at the bottom of my glass
Daddy never taught me about love
I wish that I could ask him, what might he think of
He might say we'll never know for sure
If love is just a memory or what you're hurting for
I'll sit down and write myself a letter
and maybe then I'll read it once I've cleared my head
and then I'll sing another lonesome song
just one more in a long long line that we've known all along

Alone Again

Well here we are, alone again my darling
even though I never see you here
But I swear I still feel you my darling
and so I tell myself that you are near
It's late again and I lay out for dreamland
that world I visit with you every night
And once again you smile and wrap your arms around my sweaty neck
and I tell you that I'm sorry once again
I should have known right from the start
that you'd get back at me
by tearing up my aching heart
Well once upon a time you said you'd leave me
and once upon a time I held you back
a fairy tale if you would just believe me
where happy ever after fades to black
Well even though the rain and tears keep falling
I visit with you on your ground every day
I lay flowers for you every evening
after all, I'm the reason that you're here

The Bell

This bone hammer and this fleshless grin
This sickle's compass and this world of sin
I was born in the eye of nothing at all
If the whip falters then grab the tatters
And whip the driver 'til he bows down
The storm is coming and wind is blowing
And now it the time I must be going
I think I hear the Bell
I think I hear the Bell
Hold the diamond till it cuts the hand
Drink the blood and stain the land
I only know that wormhole where I drink on down
Take the bag and fill it up
Make a promise not to sleep
Attach the needle and write the letters I-M-N-O-T
I think I hear the Bell
I think I hear the Bell
