Karma King 02:37
Karma King yeah Karma King Tell us what you’re doing Break your back, crackerjack Karma King, yeah Karma King Do everything Karma King, come set us free The junkies crawl, on wounded knees The freedom fighters never call Karma King, Karma King Do everything I want to wake up I want to wake up I want to wake up I want to wake up

Can you hear the old folks talking? Can your hear their voices calling? Lost in stone like fossils singing Their melodies are dark and dreamy Can you hear the old folks walking? Stomp their feet and shake the floor With magazines that burn so slowly The colors bleed and start a war Behind the walls And behind the pictures A wishful poem, of words that whisper Please remember, me Please remember, me The sinners and the saints in a civil war Streetcar blessings come to your door With homeless words that got no bones The ringless bells. their empty tones Can you hear the old folks breathing? Like an old ghost on the phone Tucked inside a children’s story Words unspoken, stolen motions Thoughts untold, that you will hear Behind the walls And behind the pictures The power lines, and the orphaned fixtures A wishful poem, of words that whisper Please remember, me Please remember, me

Oooh, stand and deliver Until the morning, carries you home Try our your patience And keep your feet still, buried in the ground Last call, where we going to go? Last call, before you Show me the rising sun Hold on until it’s done Look out and see yourself And soon enough you’ll know, know, know Scream out, and tell your stories Until your voice can’t, carry a song Drive on drive, like a pirate Cause I’ve got a feeling, you’ve got a golden soul Last call, where we going to go? Last call, before you Show me the rising sun Hold on until it’s done Look out and see yourself And soon enough you’ll know, know, know

I'm on Fire 04:09
I’m gotta set my soul afire And I’m gonna make it home honey I’m gonna make it home honey I’m gonna make it home We’re gonna make up our own story And we’re gonna write in in style honey We’re gonna write in in style honey We’re gonna make sun shine Cause I’m on fire Cause I’m on fire I’m gonna climb the tallest mountain And I’m gonna see the light honey I’m gonna see the light honey And carry that fire down How could you trust me when I never did do that I turn around and then you go back, go back But you always really knew that, knew that There’s a story coming down from the mountain Oh, Cause I’m on fire Cause I’m on fire Always feeling like the ship is broken But I only hope, we’ll remain afloat Cause I’m on fire Cause I’m on fire Cause I’m on fire

Go pack your suitcase Now we’ve got to go back home And close the windows Birds are starting to come in I stare a million times Outside the door How come when it’s raining, you will never carry me home? So you were dreaming Thinking about a better day If crooked bones were real Then you’d have found a way You stare and stare outside Til’ you were gone How come when it’s raining, you will never carry me home? There’s a ghost, from a lifetime together Gotta hope, that’s it’s all gonna matter The lights are shining on you The lights are shining on me Now you’re never gonna let me go Never gonna let me go You ripped your shoes and then, you found a note How come when it’s raining, you will never carry me home? How come when it’s raining, you will never carry me home? Every time it’s raining, you will never carry me home?

Up in Smoke 04:07
Heaven doesn’t need you now Go back and take a second look around Let every wicked word and bitter song you ever learned Fall upon my feet And get swept out of the city So go ahead and take a bow Cause oh my god, I swear you need one now Cause you’ve been twisted And you’ve been burned You always listen But you never learn, to speak Your words got carried out to sea Now they’re lost among the weeds But someday you’ll get even I, am wide awake I, am wide awake It ain’t hard To be a ghost, and let it go No it ain’t hard To let everything, go up in smoke So go ahead and take a bow Sit outside until the bricks come down And while you’re waiting You just might fail But don’t apologize Not everything’s a mistake Then you hardly spoke But you made a joke of it all I, am wide awake I, am wide awake I, am wide awake

Where are all my fingers, where is all my sight? Blinded by the fear, that the sun won’t ever shine Where is all my courage, where is all my fight? Cause I’m in need of something, to get me through this night Get me through this night (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Don’t bury me alive, no, don’t bury me alive I am not done living, so keep me by your side Where are all the winters, where are all the storms They’ve broken all my windows, and kept this fire warm But the morning it still lingers, like a railway train Stuck between the changes. that never really came When you were sleeping, you were breathing loud You were dreaming. and you were screaming out Don’t bury me alive, no, don’t bury me alive I am not done living, so keep me by your side Don’t bury me a live lord, don’t bury me alive You and I are hunters, so keep me in your sight (Whoa-oh-oh-oh) Where have all the days gone? (where have all the days gone?) Where is all the time? (Where is all the time?) Where do I fit in? (Where do I fit in?) Cause I never saw the signs No, I never saw the signs (Whoa whoa whoa) (Whoa whoa whoa) Don’t bury me alive, no, don’t bury me alive (Whoa whoa whoa) Don’t bury me alive, lord, don’t bury me alive You and I are hunters, keep me by your side

Take me on a long ride – deep in the sunshine And carry my ego, farther than my feet will Once we get to water, we’ll jump in the river And drown my sweet un- forgiving heart So many faces, are covered in romance With gasoline courage, all shattered in photographs But once we get started, and once we get famous I pray our fame will Save my soul I cut my fingers, And cursed my toothache On a hollow promise, I packed my suitcase But when I get to the wedding, I’ll sing my bride song And I hope my faint heart – won’t come undone Take me on a long ride – deep in the sunshine And bury my ego, underneath that big oak Once we get to water, we’ll jump in the river And pray that she will Baptize my soul I cut my fingers, and cursed my toothache On a hollow promise, I packed my suitcase But when I get to the wedding, I’ll sing my bride song And I’ll sing Jesus, what have I done? When I get to the wedding, I’ll play my bride song And I’ll sing who will love me now Who will love me now Who will, save my soul?

I saw the brake lights, scurry about Stopped on a dime, and they fell to the ground The wreckage of buildings are standing up proud Casting their shadows across the ground Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons The road we are on, will be moving soon Oh god, oh god, what have we done? Give me the courage and strength to carry on It’s bitter and cold, this road we are on It takes thieves and strangers To know when you’re wrong It’s a crooked assumption, I’ve carried with me That I’ll never die And you’ll never see what I’ve seen Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons The road we are on, will be moving soon Oh god, oh god, what have we done? To give me the courage and strength to carry on So what have we learned? And what have we gained? The best of ideas, will all remain the same I saw the brake lights, scurry about Stopped on a dime, and then fell to the ground But the wreckage of buildings are standing up proud Casting their shadows across the ground Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons The road we are on, will be moving soon Oh god, oh god, what have we done? Just give me the courage and strength to hold on Hold on Hold on, dear Mothers to your sons The road we are on, will be moving soon Oh god, oh god, just what have we done? Give me the courage and strength to carry on

Idiot Heart 03:54
I’ve been waiting for some time For the sidewalks to come alive I’ve had good days and sleepless nights Cause you and me got lost in time I was praying for a sign For the tides to begin to unwind I was splayed out among the pines When you and me got lost in time I’ve been trying to change my life I’ve been trying to do what’s right But my idiot heart won’t oblige But I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try Oh wake me up Lay me down
