The Hallelujah Prelude
Hallelujah
We made it through the mountain pass
We didn't do it alone
We were walking hand in hand
Hallelujah
We can see the lights below
We can feel the heavy glow
So follow me

Sugartown
My Sugartown
Is melting away
It's going pretty fast
You should have seen it yesterday
The rains finally came
I thought they never would
But when they tasted you
They finally understood
My Sugartown
Is different than me
I walk a little fast
She stays behind
Tried to catch you when you fell
I was just too late
I'll walk with you through time
And meet you at the gate
Sugartown
Sugartown
Shake that sugar down
My Sugartown
Is light years beyond
Sometimes strong as ice
Then liquid then gone
I'll drink you up
We all need something sweet
I'll meet you in forever
In forever we will meet
Sugartown
Sugartown
Shake that sugar down
Sugartown
Sugartown
Spread that sugar 'round
My Sugartown
Has faith in fear and fame
One will keep you honest
One is just a game
That has to be played
It don't have to be won
Don't let it get you down
It'll make you come undone

Empty Stars
Don't you wanna break me down
Don't you wanna bring me down
I've been up on this roof
Calling down
To you
But my voice got lost
In the falling frost
Of the evening
So I tried to enjoy the show
And listen to the wind
Blow
I've seen a lot of empty stars
Illuminated dust
And I can see right through
Like a darkness in the day
You can see it too
You can touch
A million minds tonight
And we feel alright
On this dark dark night
In December
And this one love
is the one love
you'll remember
And this one love
is the one love
you'll remember

Touch the Water

Touch the Water
You were waiting for the full moon
To lay your burden down
Always searching for that perfect sound
So the children of the earth one day
Will never compromise
And be blinded by the glitter in their eyes
Touch the water
Bend the mirror
There's someone on the other side
I held you close that night
When you were coming down
I wiped the sweat from your haunted brow
And in my mind I tied your arm
And found your biggest vein
And shot you full of righteousness and rain
Touch the water
Break the mirror
There's someone on the other side
Think about
What you're here for
Never be denied

Gloryland
Seen a lot of gutters
Held a lot of rain
Chased a lot of pain
Down the road again
I heard about retribution
From the choir down the street
But they ain't doing nothing
To help you or me
I'm gonna spread this gospel 'round
Gonna tear this building down
Gonna take all the seeds from a dead man's hand
Spread 'em all around
In Gloryland
Took a page from a madman
On a bike with a broken chain
Shouted all around
Just to hear the sound
Of his own name
I like to hear them sing in the morning
When I'm out there in the yard
Packing up the glass for the morning mass
And parking all the cars

Shallow Grave

Shallow Grave
Yes I dug
A shallow grave while
Calling out your name
Don't show me no pity
Because I'm the one to blame
I wore your tears around my neck
In a little vial
I'll drink them up when the time is right
As I walk this wicked mile
There's no shame
In speaking truth
Because truth is all there is
And there's no shame in blowing smoke
Because the smoke is where you live
Chains will snap and come alive
And make rings in the sky
And in the distance the people sing,
"Glory glory by and by"
I buried a white robe
With a tambourine
I'm seeing things I ain't ever seen
I get stuck in the canyons
Try to disappear
But your voice is the only one I hear

Feel Like Going Home

Feel Like Going Home
Feel like going home
Feel like going home
But I'm so far away
I might as well stay
I can live a little
But I can dream a lot
I'll give you everything
Everything I've got
And a little more
Whatever you need
Pull out the arrow
Just let it bleed
Because I need this blood
Like I need a flood
To take away my history
Measure my memory
Lines on the wall
Could take days to fall
Nothing's concrete when you ride
Boats on the street
Oh but the street lights
Are still there
Lighting up the water
Against your hair
But still it's clean
That's why I play guitar
So I can be far
Have a little space
Say a little grace
And bow my head
Stare at my hands
Just concentrate
On rubber bands
Snap my wrists
When I get the urge
To smoke some silent nights
Two roads diverge
Feel like going home
Feel like going home

Night Trip
Let's grab and ounce of faith
And a holy jar
Don't need to go nowhere
To get far
Let's take a night trip
Just wrap that cape around
Throw up your arms
Say a prayer for the fallen one
Kiss your charm
Let's take a night trip
Let's take a night trip
And we'll squeeze
the water from the stone
I'm right here
You're not alone
So grind up the magic
With some vitamin D
Don't need to shield your face
When you're trying to see
Let's take a night trip
Yes there's a darkness out there
That you can feel
Swallow up the illumination
So you can heal
Let's take a night trip
Let's take a night trip
And we'll pull
The poison from the bone
We're right here
You're not alone
Somewhere there's a bridge
A link to the past
Out there in the fields
Our eyes look for the last
Man without a face
A body made of strands
He's out there waiting
You can hold it in your hands
Let's take a night trip

That's How The Light Gets In
I see the light
Shining
Nothing to change but change
Is changing me
It's hard to believe
I'm not broken
Just got a few cracks
You can't see
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Like watered down sin
That's how the light gets in
I've got earthquake glue
For the soul
Searching and searching for
A sense of place
When the big one comes gonna break
Break you wide open
Just like the lines
On my face
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Like watered down sin
That's how the light gets in

Take Me Before You Go
Sleep all you can
The less you'll smoke
You'll miss the jokes but you'll feel
Better when you wake up
Better all the time
Never mind never mind
When those heavy curtains fell
You lit a candle for the king
I heard you sing
"Take me before you go"
"Whisper soft and low"
Maybe in your body
But your mind's a different story
Can't feel the glory through darkened windows
Just need to lie down
And take off your clothes
Porcelain skin and a bleeding rose
We all need a little pain
To remember how to feel
What's real
"Take me before you go"
"Whisper soft and low"

1935
See you on the porch swing
Taking up the offering
Sitting 'round telling lies
Ancient alibis
I'd like to walk you home
But I can't catch your stone
It's heavy
See you in the church yard
Playing with your tarot cards
Fingering your favorite books
Humming your favorite hooks
I'd like to sing along
But I don't know that song
It's heavy
See you on the west side
1935
Beating on an old suitcase
Trying to keep up the pace
I'd like to join the fun
But I can't find the one
It's heavy
