Backslider

Bended knee,
Nine years old,
Waiting for,
Just one word!

I was thinking of all the things,
My daddy told me of,
Sin and salvation and
Manhood and dignity

All that time,
In the dark,
Just one word,
Backslider!

I remember the day I stepped,
Into the water
My daddy held me in his hands
And pushed my head under,
And said

Son I am,
So proud,
Just one word,
Backslider!

Well I opened my eyes up wide
Daddy held me in his hands
I looked up through the water
And thought I saw Jesus, and then

Well I threw up my hands!
And I heard, Amen!
And I prayed sweet Jesus,
Don't let me become a backslider!

Possum Kingdom

Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side

I'm not gonna' lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover yeah...

Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me Jesus

I can promise you
You will stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin, forever
Forever

Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me Jesus


Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!

Be my angel
Be my angel

Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus

Quitter

Didn't I give you everything?
Didn't I take you where you want to be?
Didn't I make you feel just like a queen?
And all that time I thought that I was gettin' somethin' right

Look me in the eye and tell me somethin'
Am I supposed to walk away with nothin'?
Do I convince myself we never happened?
Well I guess I won't be denied
I'm gettin' somethin' right


Lover!
Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!


In the coming days the dust will cover
All the evidence of your first lover
I hope wherever you are now you'll wake up
And see just what a mess you made of this
'Cause I'm gettin' somethin' right


Am I gettin' somethin' right?
Lover!
Are you happy now?
Quitter...QUITTER!


Away

You say forever
And I confess I shiver
You say hope
I say that's where I'm goin'

To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven

If I'm out hunting
Come right on in, yeah
And even when I'm gone
My doors are always open

And if I'm asleep
Make sure my blanket covers me, yeah

When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven

When i'm away
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
come right on in, yeah

I come From the Water

I come from the water
I crawled upon the shore
I left my brothers there
I got what I came for

I sucked that hot air in
And rolled upon the sand
Emerged beneath the sun
To be a man.

I come from the water
I come from the water
That weren't no easy thing
It's more than nature
It's like my destiny

I stood upon these legs
And held my head up high
Emerged beneath the sun
To start a new life

I come from the water

Life in the desert
Just to be together
The sand forever
The same forever
It moves beneath me
It pulls my body
My pulse beats hotter
So far from the water

I love to see the sun
In spite of all it's done
I pray for shade and rain
I pray to live again
I come from the water

Tyler

And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait

We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door

I will be with her tonight


Happyface

I tried to wish you away
I'll do more than wishin' someday
No no no more son of a b****
No no no more wishin'
No no no more son of a b****
No more happyface!

You and I have nothing more to say
We'll do more than talkin' someday
No no no more son of a b****
No no no more talkin'
No no no more son of a b****
No more happyface!

No no no more son of a b****
No no no more talkin'
No no no more son of a b****
No more happyface

If I
could find
the will
to KILL!
Here we go again

No no no more son of a b****
No no no no more son of a b****
No no no more son of a b****
No more happy face

If I
Could find
the will
to KILL
Well, I'll kill you son of a b****!


Velvet

Get away!
Get away!

You hurt me, you f***!
You hurt me, you f***!
You hurt me, you f***!
You hurt me!

Stop it!
Stop it!

You hurt me, you c***!
You hurt me, you c***!
You hurt me, you c***!
You hurt me!

C***
ooh

Mommy
Mommy
ooh

Mother
Father
Mother
Father

Get away!
Get away!

You hurt me, you f***!
You hurt me, you f***!
You hurt me!

I Burn

Driftin' upward
Gently liftin'
Lazy on the wind

Rollin' over
Turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end

Fire is bright
Fire is clean
Never so alive

Smoke is freedom
Flame is mercy
I am free tonight

And I burn
I burn
Stoke the embers
Cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark

Feel the lick of
Bad religion
The finish and the start

In the beginning
We were smarter
The flame was heaven-sent

Through the ages
We got stupid
Now we must repent

And I burn
I burn

Sift the ashes
Full reminder
Stony things remain

Tooth and bone
unimpressive
I have left these things

Because fire is bright
Fire is clean
Efficient and divine

Tooth and bone
Charms and dolls
I am free tonight

I burn!
The air!
You breathe!

I burn!
The air!
You breathe!


I burn!
The air!
You breathe!

I burn
I burn
I burn
