New Country

I just stepped off the plane
prospects are lookin slim
nothin as far as the eye can see
big and wide
in the new country
I'm out on the red hot plane
tryin to tap into a vain
and dreamin up another get rich quick scheme
free and clean in the new country
in the new country
it's not as it appears to be
do you like what you see
out in the new country
I've been in this hole before
let's have ten more for the road
the jukebox is starting to cough and wheeze
let's put it out of my misery
now I've been here for twenty years
the land I bought still feel like yours
the language still don't belong to me
live and learn in the new country
in the new country
it's not as it appears to be
do you like what you see
out in the new country
in the new country
it's not as it appears to be
do you like what you see
out in the new country
I'm out in the new country

Around The Bend
03:44

fire up the search light
release the blood hounds
there's a van gone missing today
it was all I could muster when they took me back home
just to try and remember my name
six months on the pavement
six months on the bottle
six months on the couch all the time
your heart is a racing
your shirt is a soakin
dirty laundry out on the line
well trip always has the same end
you wake up to find your around the bend
the trip always has the same end
you wake up to find your around the bend
the grains that make up an old photograph
it seems like ancient times
since you pulled your disappearing act
it's been a downhill climb
so fire up the search lights
release the bloodhounds
my personality's gone awol
it holds me down
threw me on a bus
and kicked my ass back home
the rip always has the same end
you wake up to find your around the bend
the trip always has the same end
you wake up to find your around the bend

Believe

no matter how hard I try
you kep pushingme aside
and I can't break through
there's no talkin to you
it's so sad that you're leavin
it takes time to believe it
but after all is said and done
you're gonna be the lonely one
do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough no
do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough no
what am I supposed to do sit around and wait for you
well I can't do that and there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
and I've had time to think it through
and maybe I'm too good for you
do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough no
well I know that I'll get through this
cause I know that I am strong
I don't need ya anymore
I don't need ya anymore
I don't need ya anymore
I don't need ya anymore
do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough no

Beyond Our Means
03:46
|
|||
|
I'm alone in the sky
I'm alone in the sky
I got no damn business being up here so high
watching the landscape go by
I sprung up from the ground
I sprung up from the ground
and I'm counting my change as I make my way down
to call you to feel you somehow
once I was frightened of the simplest of things
darkness and hatred and dreams
now I'm not having unless I'm walking on the wings
nothin is sacred or seems beyond our means
beyond our means
beyond our means
beyond our means
I belong to the earth
I belong to the earth
I don't feel quite right if I can't touch the dirt
from now on I plan to stay put
once I was frightened of the simplest of things
darkness, and hatred, and dreams
now I'm not happy unless I'm walking on the wings
nothin is sacred or seems beyond our means
beyond our means
beyond our means
beyond our means

North Central Plain

never even knew I had an appetite
till I saw the billboard on the bypass at night
with a beautiful girl
and a char broil of meat
I felt like she was sittin on the sofa with me
listen to me callin out your name (x2)
a beautiful voice over the north central plain
they got drive thru bacon and drive thru beer
I leave a trail of empties to find my way back here
sometimes I'm so free
darling I feel cheap
sometimes it's like I'm sittin in the passenger seat
listen to me callin out your name (x2)
a beautiful voice over the north central plain
there's an excitable voice
on the radio
companionship on a mobile phone
a lad at the door with a magazine
yellin up to my window about livin carefree
listen to me callin out your name (x2)
a beautiful voice over the north central plain

Button Up
02:26
|

|
it may seem like the words get in the way
but I had a pretty good mouth on me in my day
I'm holding back I think it's safe to say
well I swallowed anything controversial
and if you know what's best for your health
you'll keep that country swagger to yourself
button up (x4)
you better button up mister cause it's getting pretty cold in here
yesterday we needed bravery
today they say we all must be as one
well pretty soon you better just play dumb
button up (x4)
you better button up mister cause it's getting pretty cold in here
button up
button up mister button up
you better button up mister cause it's getting pretty cold in here

Explain Away
03:59
|
|||
|
I'm a writing you a letter
the things I shouldn't say
it's straight outta club land
old fashioned in it's way
distant for the dim lights
little room in back
how on earth did I become your straight man
well it's easy to explain
easy to explain
explain it all away
everybody knows us by our phony names
we keep throwing gutterballs
we go down in flames
but I stand by my record
face down at the bar
that kind of thinkin won't get you very far
and it's easy to explain
easy to explain
explain it all away
somethings gotta hold on me mister
I'm hearing an invisible voice
something's got a hold on me mister
it ain't like I got any choice
hear it goin away
and it's easy to explain
easy to explain
explain it all away

Enemy
02:16
|
|||
|
my argument has got no teeth
so the regulars threw me out in the streets
I need an enemy (x2)
to put me in the rights
like an old dog barkin
with no one in sight
a couple who can't agree on things to save their lives
I need an enemy (x2)
to put up some kind of fight
when you were young your father built a shelter
you dreamt of H bombs raining from the skies
now the soundtrack comes off so distorted
it's laughable it's so black and white
there ain't no use for this old machine
still boxin shadows no one else can see
I need an enemy (x2)
to justify the nights(x3)

Exit #9
02:37
|

|
don't let the door hit ya in the ass
send your things back second class
keep your conscious and your lesser crimes
lesser crimes
keep the mud off your wind shield
you gotta keep your vision clear
if you're ever gonna spark that highway sign
highway sign
someone dear is waiting off of exit number nine
you could throw your money down in the pit
fish it out and double it
funny I never seem to benefit from good times
from good times
troopers backed intot he weeds
waiting on those rusty weheels
just passing through just pay the fine
pay the fine
someone dear is waiting off of exit number nine
your heart has been seen in all the right places
but the words don't match the looks on your faces
you say your leavin no one behind
my thumbs in the air
and you just go screamin by
number nine

Working Line
03:41
|

|
severance give me my severance
my walking papers I'll paint the town
purpose I know my purpose
it's a three ring circus
a trained animal act
this is the world just as it was
just a second ago
now it's gone
this is the way it used to be at 6 am
now it's gone
all down the working line
driven I have been driven to a sad conclusion
to a vacant lot
flowers they sent me flowers
why don't you smell them on your way down
this is the town that cried a tear for the girl gone down the well
now she's gone
this is the way you used to feel at the end of the day
now it's gone all down the working line
severance give me my severance
my walking papers I'll paint the town
purpose I know my purpose
and the three ring circus a trained animal act

Amazing Disgrace

amazing disgrace
you're at it again
cranked up to ten
your own worst friend
amazing disgrace
you put on a show
you spark and you glow
shake off a knockout blow
well you didn't see it comin
but you never do
you never do
you forgotten all your best lines
but they'll come back to you
amazing disgrace you're living nine lives
in world record time
it's Christmas in July
amazing disgrace
you blow them away
half naked and crazed
as you pierce through the haze
well you didn't see it comin
but you never do
you never do
you forgotten all your best lies
but they'll come back to you
things of beauty do

Little Autocrat
04:40
|
|||
|
you have given up too soon
sent out all of your goons
with their jars of spoons
now with nothing left to protect
the dust can start to collect
on this tired old effect
you're on a roll baby (x2)
it takes its toll baby
listen to the little autocrat
you're on a roll baby (x2)
he's on on your shoulder baby
listen to the little autocrat
flash posing next to a horse
it's only for the video
it's just another part of the show
high up on the golden slope
nobody's hearin the news
admirin the beautiful views
you're on a roll baby (x2)
it takes its toll baby
listen to the little autocrat
you're on a roll baby (x2)
he's on on your shoulder baby
listen to the little autocrat
you're on a roll baby (x2)
it takes its toll baby
listen to the little autocrat
you're on a roll baby (x2)
he's on on your shoulder baby
listen to the little autocrat
