To The Bone
04:07

Look at Leroy, he's sweeping
He may as well sing a chain-gang song
He dreams of seeing the countryside
with his wife and dog in a motor home
But he's tired to the bone,
tired to the bone
too tired to the bone
Look at Maria, she's crying again
She hurt her back but can't miss the pay
She makes five-eighty after taxes
She's up to her neck in the shit of the day
She's working to the bone
working to the bone
working to the bone, too long
Now look at you in the rear view mirror
making deals on your telephone
You wonder if your wife still loves you good
while they talk of war on the radio
You thought six days was enough to pay your bills
and you thought one was enough to love your kids, but
now the boss wants more and the prices soar
and your kids, they don't ask anymore
Your tired to the bone
tired to the bone
your tired to the bone
from working to the bone
too long
much too long
please let me go home to
pursue my life, liberty, and happiness
I want to go home

Oh No
02:23
|

Oh don't jump
child of God
You're not high e-
nough
You can't know
what's beyond
though it stares you
down
Oh no
oh my
please don't
go
People say
this and that, but
you know that doesn't
matter as
long as your blood
tastes like blood and your
tears like blessed
salt, don't carry it
all, it's not your
fault those days are
dead and gone
Oh my
oh my
oh my
God
Carry on your
magic ride im-
mune to gravity, we all
rise we all fall, you're not who you
thought, you know you had it
all

Much Too Soon
07:33
|
|||
I guess I had to find out what I was
longing for so long, I
wasn't free then I'm not free now, but at
least I know the price to
pay my way
My soul is a royal hawk, my heart a
whirling fool, dancing
arm and arm long past the song and
stumbling down the hall while the
house burns down
You are much too soon
and yet you're just in time
Oh you are much too soon
We want to be the little one who
does a big thing, but we're
always on the outside looking
into those we love and think we know
You are much too soon
and yet you're just in time
Oh you are much too soon
for the truth
I guess you'll have to find out what you've been
longing for so long
You are a jar, your fate a stone
Kick against it and you'll
waste your wine
You are much too soon
and yet, you're just in time
Oh you are much too soon
for the truth
for the truth

Is It You
03:48
|

Is it
you, or is it
who you think you should
be
The
face you put on, words to a
song,
a veil to the
key
There's nowhere to run when
love hunts you
down
If I
can I'll give you a
hand, just
don't leave me a-
stray, and if you want to be
found you have to
allow
time to lose your
way
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to run
when love hunts you down
The sky is no place to lose your wings
The door is no more than the going in, see I want to be
found out without having to
hide out when love hunts me
down
W ant to take it to the
line, gonna feel real
fine, gonna
whirl into a
spin, surely I want to
rise, do it different this
time, gonna
feel every little
thing
There's
nowhere to run
there's no where to
run when
love hunts you
down

Maudlin Town
03:45
|

Well I
wanted to believe in the magic of the garden and I
wanted to be free but I couldn't get a pardon, now I'm
down, down, I'm going
down, I'm
down, down I'm going
down
And I
wanted to create with my own imagination but I
couldn't quite escape the message of the nation, now I'm
down, down, I'm going
down, yes, I'm
down, down, I'm going
down
Down, down to Maudlin
Town
Well in
trying to be heard, well I sang and screamed and wailed, but the
only ear that hears is the one behind the veil, now I'm
down, down, I'm going
down, I'm
down, down, well I'm going
down
In
trying to find meaning in the truth behind my being, to a
stone I asked a question and the answer sent me reeling, now I'm
down, down I'm going
down, down to Maudlin
Town
down, down, don't bring me
down down down
down down down
down down down
down down down
down, down down
down
Don't mind me I won't get in your way
Don't mind me I won't get in your way
Don't mind me I won't get in your way
Thanks but no thanks, I don't want to play
Down, down, well I'm going
down, oh
down, down, yes I'm going
down, oh
down, down, don't bring me
down down down
down down down
down down down
down down down
down
down
down

You Know the Way
03:40
|

I have no special training
except for mistakes I've made, but I'll
show you what I know if you let me, just
help me open this cage
Go if you want, you're free to
live and love, what you
are, you think, what you be-
lieve you become, but
mostly though don't
listen to me
You know the way
home
You
never know what you're
leaving till you
get where you're
going, but by
then it doesn't matter if you
should have stayed
it's yourself you have to
save
Go if you want, you're free to
live and love, what you
are, you think, what you be-
lieve you become, but
mostly though don't
listen to me
You know the way
home
You know the way
home
For
all our for-
giveness, our
best effort scattered on the
wind, if it
blows through a-
gain my friend, let's
lturn the other cheek in-
stead
I hear you're living like you're
dying
well that's a good way to
go, as for me, well,
I'm still trying, always
trying oi lighten m
load
Go if you want, you're free to
live and love, what you
are, you think, what you be-
lieve you become, but
mostly though don't
listen to me
You know the way
home
You know the way
home
You know the
home
