November 20 lyrics - Damien Jurado
Allan, no one was laughing when you passed
Satirical moments still to have
(Said and done) [x4]
Not around to be banking on the laughs
Life's a gas for an audience with cash
(All is gold) [x4]
On a shelf where the dust seems to collect
In a groove was the showroom you were at
(You were on) [x4]
Hints of gin and your finger in the glass
I sit in for the late show presents past
(Here and now) [x4]
(Said and done) [x8]
(All is gold) [x8]
Satirical moments still to have
(Said and done) [x4]
Not around to be banking on the laughs
Life's a gas for an audience with cash
(All is gold) [x4]
On a shelf where the dust seems to collect
In a groove was the showroom you were at
(You were on) [x4]
Hints of gin and your finger in the glass
I sit in for the late show presents past
(Here and now) [x4]
(Said and done) [x8]
(All is gold) [x8]
Mellow Blue Polka Dot lyrics - Damien Jurado
On a line, don't disturb
It ain't worth a penny's shine
Took a turn for the worse
So absurd to speak up first
Mellow blue polka dots
I forgot to call you up
Sail on son, storm is on
Call me out, press my luck
Magic hand, magic fool
Are you cool if I split
I'm not upset, it's just a test
Don't adjust your eyes just yet
Stick around
It gets worse
In your shoes
Here's your curse
It ain't worth a penny's shine
Took a turn for the worse
So absurd to speak up first
Mellow blue polka dots
I forgot to call you up
Sail on son, storm is on
Call me out, press my luck
Magic hand, magic fool
Are you cool if I split
I'm not upset, it's just a test
Don't adjust your eyes just yet
Stick around
It gets worse
In your shoes
Here's your curse
QACHINA lyrics - Damien Jurado
I lost my mind so I stepped out for a time
Went for a walk on a long road to unwind
I met myself there, saying "go home"
Why turn around when the colors just betray
Yellows and blues are the ones I still wear today
They knocked me out then, they barely move now
I lost my mind so I stepped out for a time
Went for a walk on a long road to unwind
I met myself there, saying "go home"
Went for a walk on a long road to unwind
I met myself there, saying "go home"
Why turn around when the colors just betray
Yellows and blues are the ones I still wear today
They knocked me out then, they barely move now
I lost my mind so I stepped out for a time
Went for a walk on a long road to unwind
I met myself there, saying "go home"
Lon Bella lyrics - Damien Jurado
Jesus on the mainline
He's trying to call collect
Dad gave him my number
Suppose I should call back
And since I got no plans
On a long term stay
My bus leaves early morning
Why sit around and wait
To die
Serpents in the water
Fogging up my glass
Swimming here since Thursday
Burning through my stacks
And you find out who I am
Then you want to turn me in
To someone you'd respect
A smile you can correct
And since I got no plans
On a long term stay
My bus leaves early morning
Why sit around and wait
To die
And when there are no cups to fill
Where the sidewalk disappears
You and I will make amends
With our daggers in our hands
They will say I knew him when
Before he once had friends
With a life you would curate
Decided now his fate
We sit around and wait
He's trying to call collect
Dad gave him my number
Suppose I should call back
And since I got no plans
On a long term stay
My bus leaves early morning
Why sit around and wait
To die
Serpents in the water
Fogging up my glass
Swimming here since Thursday
Burning through my stacks
And you find out who I am
Then you want to turn me in
To someone you'd respect
A smile you can correct
And since I got no plans
On a long term stay
My bus leaves early morning
Why sit around and wait
To die
And when there are no cups to fill
Where the sidewalk disappears
You and I will make amends
With our daggers in our hands
They will say I knew him when
Before he once had friends
With a life you would curate
Decided now his fate
We sit around and wait
Sam And Davy lyrics - Damien Jurado
Me and my boy Sam in the tall tall grass
And on our backs in the heat of the sun
On a warm October where the clouds were never
Good for rain, only changing shape
Does your blood run cold
Or your eyes go white
On a borrowed soul
On a borrowed time
Me and my girl Davy on a Sunday morn
Taking our time in a used car lot
Destination where the sun is
Nothing is sure but the time we've got
Does your blood run cold
Or your eyes go white
On a borrowed soul
On a borrowed time
And on our backs in the heat of the sun
On a warm October where the clouds were never
Good for rain, only changing shape
Does your blood run cold
Or your eyes go white
On a borrowed soul
On a borrowed time
Me and my girl Davy on a Sunday morn
Taking our time in a used car lot
Destination where the sun is
Nothing is sure but the time we've got
Does your blood run cold
Or your eyes go white
On a borrowed soul
On a borrowed time
Prisms lyrics - Damien Jurado
As the light upon the window
I could clearly see the dawn
And it stops the conversations
That go on 'til the morn
Did I lose you in a daydream
Or the prism in your eye
Where you're keeping all my memories
And recordings of our life
Do we still go on
Long after rewind
Who's to really know
Once the exit's closed
There's only one way in
Then it's through
I could clearly see the dawn
And it stops the conversations
That go on 'til the morn
Did I lose you in a daydream
Or the prism in your eye
Where you're keeping all my memories
And recordings of our life
Do we still go on
Long after rewind
Who's to really know
Once the exit's closed
There's only one way in
Then it's through
ONALASKA lyrics - Damien Jurado
It was if I went looking for a new direction
Indecisive and undecided
I had been in the desert and spent time on a mountain
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard the voices of wisdom and sang with creation
Where my name was a color and my years were a number
I was freedom in motion where the wind never slumbered
Disguising my voice so not to be heard
Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say you ever knew me
I had my doubts so you gave me an option
Take what's in front of you or the highway
It was you I ran into, I'd been dying for days
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard your voice from the next room in a song on a station
Where my name was repeated through the static and numbers
We are the way, we are the ending
Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say that you saw this
Long after I am gone
Indecisive and undecided
I had been in the desert and spent time on a mountain
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard the voices of wisdom and sang with creation
Where my name was a color and my years were a number
I was freedom in motion where the wind never slumbered
Disguising my voice so not to be heard
Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say you ever knew me
I had my doubts so you gave me an option
Take what's in front of you or the highway
It was you I ran into, I'd been dying for days
Off of my feet and floating in suspension
Heard your voice from the next room in a song on a station
Where my name was repeated through the static and numbers
We are the way, we are the ending
Don't say you ever knew me
Long after I am gone
Don't say that you saw this
Long after I am gone
TAQOMA lyrics - Damien Jurado
Flown out from the window
Flown out from the green
A match to any ceiling
Voices from the flame
In the long run
In the long run
So long at pretending
I was once your boy
Ships out on the landing
Faces you'll avoid
In the long run
In the long run
In the long run
In the long run
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Down to the road
Clover and gold
It's your own hand to hold
Staring me down
Swallowing sound
It's your own hand to hold
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Down to the road
Clover and gold
It's your own hand to hold
Staring me down
Swallowing sound
It's your own hand to hold
Flown out from the green
A match to any ceiling
Voices from the flame
In the long run
In the long run
So long at pretending
I was once your boy
Ships out on the landing
Faces you'll avoid
In the long run
In the long run
In the long run
In the long run
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Down to the road
Clover and gold
It's your own hand to hold
Staring me down
Swallowing sound
It's your own hand to hold
Everybody want to be some somebody
Don't you want somebody for your own?
Down to the road
Clover and gold
It's your own hand to hold
Staring me down
Swallowing sound
It's your own hand to hold
On The Land Blues lyrics - Damien Jurado
Tried my hand as a brother
Failed as a man and a friend
I know who I was then
I know who I am now
Land it rolls into water
Fools they go and follow after
Chasing the light like the sun
Burned out before they could shine
Lord take the weight, I won't need it
Salvation's pain glory be
Follow me down on this road
One more hand to let go
Kindly spoke, cried on your shoulder
Better a ghost than a living man
You will see through I suppose
Visions of us on the land
Far out to where we were then
Gathered and stolen by storm
Waiting here till you return
Failed as a man and a friend
I know who I was then
I know who I am now
Land it rolls into water
Fools they go and follow after
Chasing the light like the sun
Burned out before they could shine
Lord take the weight, I won't need it
Salvation's pain glory be
Follow me down on this road
One more hand to let go
Kindly spoke, cried on your shoulder
Better a ghost than a living man
You will see through I suppose
Visions of us on the land
Far out to where we were then
Gathered and stolen by storm
Waiting here till you return
Walrus lyrics - Damien Jurado
Watch your step
Who has your hand?
Turned the choir up
In the atmosphere again
I don't know
Where I was
All I knew
Was that I didn't belong anymore
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
Found my place
Near the back of a pen
Dig myself from the hiss
Of the tape again
Where's the ceiling
Made from his hand
Has it been removed
And is now in place of the land?
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back
I got to go back now
I got to go back…
Who has your hand?
Turned the choir up
In the atmosphere again
I don't know
Where I was
All I knew
Was that I didn't belong anymore
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
Found my place
Near the back of a pen
Dig myself from the hiss
Of the tape again
Where's the ceiling
Made from his hand
Has it been removed
And is now in place of the land?
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back to the city
I got to go back to the city now
I got to go back
I got to go back now
I got to go back…
Exit 353 lyrics - Damien Jurado
And when, I was a line
You were a light
Shining like some planet you call home
Talking aloud
Was it about
The ending or beginning of a word?
That was with me all along
I let go, and you held strong
Are we all not lost in song
Feeding back until we're found?
I was a line
Here on rewind
Living out the voices in my mind
Talking aloud
Distorted in sound
Are we all not stars here on the ground?
You were with me all along
I let go, and you held strong
Are we all not lost in song
Feeding back until we're found?
And in the golden hours hue
The darkest of the few
Was with me all along
And sewn into the sounds of joy
The forms of light collide
In the walls of my eyes
I was alone then [x9]
You were a light
Shining like some planet you call home
Talking aloud
Was it about
The ending or beginning of a word?
That was with me all along
I let go, and you held strong
Are we all not lost in song
Feeding back until we're found?
I was a line
Here on rewind
Living out the voices in my mind
Talking aloud
Distorted in sound
Are we all not stars here on the ground?
You were with me all along
I let go, and you held strong
Are we all not lost in song
Feeding back until we're found?
And in the golden hours hue
The darkest of the few
Was with me all along
And sewn into the sounds of joy
The forms of light collide
In the walls of my eyes
I was alone then [x9]
Cinco De Tomorrow lyrics - Damien Jurado
(I can meet you in the chorus
It's all just a fading line)
[x2]
You might as well be keeping the sun
No star of mine can ever replace you
I knew you well, you had me at maybe
Turning around to face the unknown
Never too high to let go of the atmosphere
All on the ground with signals cutting out
Stand star and blues, you go on without me
I'll catch the next ride out of town
And when you've found a better place for us to shine
Cover it black and gold with silver cloud
Hear now the lightning shout, we're with you
Life will collide with love never ending
And when you've found a better place for us to shine
Cover it black and gold with silver cloud
Hear now the lightning shout, we're with you
Life will collide with love never ending
It's all just a fading line)
[x2]
You might as well be keeping the sun
No star of mine can ever replace you
I knew you well, you had me at maybe
Turning around to face the unknown
Never too high to let go of the atmosphere
All on the ground with signals cutting out
Stand star and blues, you go on without me
I'll catch the next ride out of town
And when you've found a better place for us to shine
Cover it black and gold with silver cloud
Hear now the lightning shout, we're with you
Life will collide with love never ending
And when you've found a better place for us to shine
Cover it black and gold with silver cloud
Hear now the lightning shout, we're with you
Life will collide with love never ending
And Loraine lyrics - Damien Jurado
As we made our exit
Through the door
Into the outside
And shedding off the voices
Of those who
Are beat out by the background
Music lingers far beyond
Of those left over
And going on
About their long days
About their long days
Changing with the seasons
And Loraine
Looking in the rearview
Someday California
On your dime
And I'll see it before you
Good luck next time
I'll see you around
Ain't it like me
To let you down
On such a long day
On such a long day
Such a long day
Such a long day
Such a long day
Through the door
Into the outside
And shedding off the voices
Of those who
Are beat out by the background
Music lingers far beyond
Of those left over
And going on
About their long days
About their long days
Changing with the seasons
And Loraine
Looking in the rearview
Someday California
On your dime
And I'll see it before you
Good luck next time
I'll see you around
Ain't it like me
To let you down
On such a long day
On such a long day
Such a long day
Such a long day
Such a long day
A.M. AM lyrics - Damien Jurado
Stuck here in a life that repeats
Living in the now and between
Pages from a magazine
Instruction manuals for your dreams
This is where you stop and rewind
This is where our dreams all collide
Streaming through your heart that was mine
Living in my world that was yours through your eyes
It was you all along
It was you all along
Waiting for a life that was loud
Not my own but yours all alone
Wide awake until you're home
Black on black and roses gold
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
Don't go changing
I'm not leaving you
Don't go changing
I'm not leaving you
Living in the now and between
Pages from a magazine
Instruction manuals for your dreams
This is where you stop and rewind
This is where our dreams all collide
Streaming through your heart that was mine
Living in my world that was yours through your eyes
It was you all along
It was you all along
Waiting for a life that was loud
Not my own but yours all alone
Wide awake until you're home
Black on black and roses gold
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
I was yours all along
Don't go changing
I'm not leaving you
Don't go changing
I'm not leaving you
Queen Anne lyrics - Damien Jurado
Time, time, time, time
Curious in my design
Where the line is fine
Everything will shine
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Can you help to tow the line
When I'm lost I'll find
Your hand to hold in mine
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Where my memories resign
A place inside my mind
Where I can always climb
To you in time
Time, time, time, time
Ringing like a bell in chime
Where colors all combine
Our lives will be entwined
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Could you ever be so kind
To never leave my side
To share with you this life
All in time
Curious in my design
Where the line is fine
Everything will shine
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Can you help to tow the line
When I'm lost I'll find
Your hand to hold in mine
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Where my memories resign
A place inside my mind
Where I can always climb
To you in time
Time, time, time, time
Ringing like a bell in chime
Where colors all combine
Our lives will be entwined
All in time
Time, time, time, time
Could you ever be so kind
To never leave my side
To share with you this life
All in time
Orphans In The Key Of E lyrics - Damien Jurado
Easy now, you're dreaming of a ledge
Talk yourself down from every story
Call the game you're losing again
And you show no signs of scoring
On the passenger side where my glasses were shattered
Losing myself at the end of your sentence
Call and pretend that your discounted man
Who cries on command will soon pick up the phone
Go to him now while he's not so distracted
By his own magic tricks by the widows he's husband
With the orphanage closed, it's so hard to know
Which childhood dream he's still planning on leaving
In the grocery store where a man is an audience
Time is on sale and the band is no one you've heard of
And there is no applause, just the sound of alarms
The register yawns at the sound of you leaving
Talk yourself down from every story
Call the game you're losing again
And you show no signs of scoring
On the passenger side where my glasses were shattered
Losing myself at the end of your sentence
Call and pretend that your discounted man
Who cries on command will soon pick up the phone
Go to him now while he's not so distracted
By his own magic tricks by the widows he's husband
With the orphanage closed, it's so hard to know
Which childhood dream he's still planning on leaving
In the grocery store where a man is an audience
Time is on sale and the band is no one you've heard of
And there is no applause, just the sound of alarms
The register yawns at the sound of you leaving
Kola lyrics - Damien Jurado
When I look back upon my time
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be surprised
To see your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
When I first came into view
I was older than you knew
Always going out of tune
Anytime you'd leave the room
Anytime you'd leave the room
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
When I look back upon my time
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be surprised
To see your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be surprised
To see your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
When I first came into view
I was older than you knew
Always going out of tune
Anytime you'd leave the room
Anytime you'd leave the room
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
When I look back upon my time
See the snapshots of my life
You will not be surprised
To see your name across my smile
See your name across my smile
And I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
The way you are right now
The way you are right now
Magic Number lyrics - Damien Jurado
Don't waste your time, there is work to be done
The setting son is a shiny dime
Cast it aside, it will soon catch your eye
Hold my magic number in your hand
Lay across the land like a giant on its side
The sun disappears and it falls behind
The dust will settle down when darkness takes my crown
I'll shake his hand and I'll knock him down
You will learn to let go
It's my turn to confuse
Not long ago, when you showed up at my door
Looking for a shelter in my skull
When I drew the blinds, the colors in my eyes
Went from maroon to shiny gold
Speaking in tongues with the tape on rewind
My secret name became define
Peeling back the sky in a blanket of shame
Remove my nails when you find the time
You will learn to let go
It's my turn to confuse
The setting son is a shiny dime
Cast it aside, it will soon catch your eye
Hold my magic number in your hand
Lay across the land like a giant on its side
The sun disappears and it falls behind
The dust will settle down when darkness takes my crown
I'll shake his hand and I'll knock him down
You will learn to let go
It's my turn to confuse
Not long ago, when you showed up at my door
Looking for a shelter in my skull
When I drew the blinds, the colors in my eyes
Went from maroon to shiny gold
Speaking in tongues with the tape on rewind
My secret name became define
Peeling back the sky in a blanket of shame
Remove my nails when you find the time
You will learn to let go
It's my turn to confuse
Silver Timothy lyrics - Damien Jurado
I was met on the road by a face I once knew,
Shapeless was his frame and his colors were few,
We went out for a time but his sentence is in,
Climbing in to the eye where the numbers begin.
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground.
I was met on the road by a face that was mine,
Echoed chambers and spoke with a [?],
You can never go home if you were never shown,
Spots on the irises bleed where the numbers were born.
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground.
Shapeless was his frame and his colors were few,
We went out for a time but his sentence is in,
Climbing in to the eye where the numbers begin.
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground.
I was met on the road by a face that was mine,
Echoed chambers and spoke with a [?],
You can never go home if you were never shown,
Spots on the irises bleed where the numbers were born.
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground,
Go back down, don't touch the ground.
Return To Maraqopa lyrics - Damien Jurado
Now that you're home you can finally lay down,
Little has changed with the weight of the rain,
It is too hot here, words are not needed
On and on.
You're just a kid unaware you've been sleeping,
Seeing yourself as a void or zero,
Are you a signal?
Where is your station?
On and on.
Once, 12 years old on a fire escape,
You lost your mind on a music note,
Caught in your throat,
Out there is nowhere but inside is endless,
Taking up room till you run out of space.
What is who calls you?
And you should name this?
On and On.
Once 12 years old on a fire escape,
You cut your mind on a music note,
Caught in your throat.
Little has changed with the weight of the rain,
It is too hot here, words are not needed
On and on.
You're just a kid unaware you've been sleeping,
Seeing yourself as a void or zero,
Are you a signal?
Where is your station?
On and on.
Once, 12 years old on a fire escape,
You lost your mind on a music note,
Caught in your throat,
Out there is nowhere but inside is endless,
Taking up room till you run out of space.
What is who calls you?
And you should name this?
On and On.
Once 12 years old on a fire escape,
You cut your mind on a music note,
Caught in your throat.
Metallic Cloud lyrics - Damien Jurado
Here's a temporary fix,
In case you don't come down.
Metallic cloud,
Voice in the crowd.
Cheer yourself up,
There are three to be seen,
Geodesic eyes,
And your life on rewind.
Your name was on fire,
So we pulled the case.
How does it taste?
With your mouth from your face.
Here's a temporary earth,
In case you don't get out.
Melodic rain,
Your own choke chain.
Drove yourself here,
So you might as well stay.
You want to be amazed,
And see the sky on delay.
Keep a close eye,
For the ship in the sky.
Resurrection signs,
Do the numbers align?
Zodiac pain,
And the birds flew away,
Colours don't change,
When your life gets strange.
In case you don't come down.
Metallic cloud,
Voice in the crowd.
Cheer yourself up,
There are three to be seen,
Geodesic eyes,
And your life on rewind.
Your name was on fire,
So we pulled the case.
How does it taste?
With your mouth from your face.
Here's a temporary earth,
In case you don't get out.
Melodic rain,
Your own choke chain.
Drove yourself here,
So you might as well stay.
You want to be amazed,
And see the sky on delay.
Keep a close eye,
For the ship in the sky.
Resurrection signs,
Do the numbers align?
Zodiac pain,
And the birds flew away,
Colours don't change,
When your life gets strange.
Jericho Road lyric - Damien Jurado
I was made from a rainbow, so I am told
By the wolves in the radio here on Jericho Road.
With one hand on my shoulder, and the other on my gold,
Document my resurrection here on Jericho Road.
We are secrets, oh.
Spent time in my tower looking out to the sea
With Jericho beside me and the song that he keeps
I have nothing to give you that you already own,
Sowing time in the sorrow here on Jericho Road.
We are secrets told.
Tell the wolves at the stop sign I've already gone home
Wiping blood from my windshield here on Jericho Road.
With one hand on my shoulder, My ghost I am told,
Found another fool to follow here on Jericho Road.
We are secret souls.
By the wolves in the radio here on Jericho Road.
With one hand on my shoulder, and the other on my gold,
Document my resurrection here on Jericho Road.
We are secrets, oh.
Spent time in my tower looking out to the sea
With Jericho beside me and the song that he keeps
I have nothing to give you that you already own,
Sowing time in the sorrow here on Jericho Road.
We are secrets told.
Tell the wolves at the stop sign I've already gone home
Wiping blood from my windshield here on Jericho Road.
With one hand on my shoulder, My ghost I am told,
Found another fool to follow here on Jericho Road.
We are secret souls.
Silver Malcolm lyrics - Damien Jurado
Fixated on a color
I tried hard not to move
And though the room was spinning
I never felt confused.
I knew of my short-comings
The day it made the news
From the balcony of my hotel
When God gave the salute.
I was followed by a spaceship
I was taken by surprise
Aware that you would come back
When I saw you in the sky
And I made a reservation to be seated at your side
Sewing in my tongue so I can taste the wine.
I will wear the atmosphere
And you will be a light
Replacing every star that fell
When you tore out the sky
You should have given warning
When turning on your side
My eyes get dilated
When you call me in my mind
I’ll have no one to talk to
If I am left behind.
I tried hard not to move
And though the room was spinning
I never felt confused.
I knew of my short-comings
The day it made the news
From the balcony of my hotel
When God gave the salute.
I was followed by a spaceship
I was taken by surprise
Aware that you would come back
When I saw you in the sky
And I made a reservation to be seated at your side
Sewing in my tongue so I can taste the wine.
I will wear the atmosphere
And you will be a light
Replacing every star that fell
When you tore out the sky
You should have given warning
When turning on your side
My eyes get dilated
When you call me in my mind
I’ll have no one to talk to
If I am left behind.
Silver Katherine lyrics - Damien Jurado
Katherine, I have gone out
Far from, from the garden
I saw stars fall like teeth
Cutting my name into the earth
Katherine, I have seen Him
Outside of Maraqopa
Pacing through the sky
Silver ushered in flight
Time to wake up, in the morning
Feeling free to be the wind
I can take on any mountain
Freedom is my sweetest song
I saw stars fall like teeth
Cutting my name into the earth
He's a mighty stone
He's a mighty stone
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
Far from, from the garden
I saw stars fall like teeth
Cutting my name into the earth
Katherine, I have seen Him
Outside of Maraqopa
Pacing through the sky
Silver ushered in flight
Time to wake up, in the morning
Feeling free to be the wind
I can take on any mountain
Freedom is my sweetest song
I saw stars fall like teeth
Cutting my name into the earth
He's a mighty stone
He's a mighty stone
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
Silver Joy lyrics - Damien Jurado
Let me sleep
In the slumber of the morning
There’s nowhere I need to be
And my dreams are still calling
Lay your troubles on the ground
No need to worry about them now
Daylight shaking through the trees
Do not disturb me, let me be
And if you need a place a land
Or come down when you are weary
No more clouds to put away
In the slumber of the morning
Keep me with you on the ground
All of my worries behind me now
Daylight shaking through the trees
Do not disturb me, let me be
Let me sleep
In the slumber of tomorrow
There’s nowhere we need to be
That will not be there after
Keep me with you on the ground
All of my worries behind me now
And be sure to wake me when
Eternity begins
In the slumber of the morning
There’s nowhere I need to be
And my dreams are still calling
Lay your troubles on the ground
No need to worry about them now
Daylight shaking through the trees
Do not disturb me, let me be
And if you need a place a land
Or come down when you are weary
No more clouds to put away
In the slumber of the morning
Keep me with you on the ground
All of my worries behind me now
Daylight shaking through the trees
Do not disturb me, let me be
Let me sleep
In the slumber of tomorrow
There’s nowhere we need to be
That will not be there after
Keep me with you on the ground
All of my worries behind me now
And be sure to wake me when
Eternity begins
Plains To Crash lyrics - Damien Jurado
I went looking for
a plane to crash.
Beyond the near and blue
where I just see you.
When our sky is shown
or the earth below.
Only a glory.
So I took a drive
to the mountainside.
Where I gave my life
over to the light.
Born twice, born twice.
Help me Lord to see
the road ahead of me.
May you always be
the light beneath my feet.
Show me the way. [x9]
a plane to crash.
Beyond the near and blue
where I just see you.
When our sky is shown
or the earth below.
Only a glory.
So I took a drive
to the mountainside.
Where I gave my life
over to the light.
Born twice, born twice.
Help me Lord to see
the road ahead of me.
May you always be
the light beneath my feet.
Show me the way. [x9]
All For You lyrics - Damien Jurado
There falls the night
Birds pushing sky
All for you
Colors divide
Creation it's size
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Time in the world
The world's still in turn
And all for you
Heaven it seems
Angels applaud
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Rain hits the ground
Mountains fall down
Love as our crown
Peace to be found
All for you
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Birds pushing sky
All for you
Colors divide
Creation it's size
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Time in the world
The world's still in turn
And all for you
Heaven it seems
Angels applaud
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Rain hits the ground
Mountains fall down
Love as our crown
Peace to be found
All for you
And all for you
How great your love is
How much you are needed
Oh...
Nothing Is The News lyrics - Damien Jurado
Turn it around you found that they were all wrong
All you had heard, the ghosts of the words in a song
Nothing new have when all that you want is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
You can't go back now as the door has been closed
Standing outside just passing time 'til we die
There's nowhere to live and all that's been living is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
Turn it around you found that they were all wrong
All you had heard were ghosts of the words in a song
Nothing you had and all that you want is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
All you had heard, the ghosts of the words in a song
Nothing new have when all that you want is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
You can't go back now as the door has been closed
Standing outside just passing time 'til we die
There's nowhere to live and all that's been living is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
Turn it around you found that they were all wrong
All you had heard were ghosts of the words in a song
Nothing you had and all that you want is gone
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
I will never know, I will never know, I will never know
Life Away From The Garden lyrics - Damien Jurado
There was a time
(There was a time)
When we were golden
(When we were golden)
Like the Sun
(Like the Sun)
We were lights in the world
(We were lights in the world)
Then we strayed
(Then we strayed)
Away from the Garden
(Away from the Garden)
Oh, Oh
(Oh, Oh)
Oh, Oh
(Oh, Oh)
There was a time
(There was a time)
When I believed you
(When I believed you)
When in doubt
(When in doubt)
I put my hand in your side
(I put my hand in your side)
Broken bells
(Broken bells)
I don't hear you ringing
(I don't hear you ringing)
Oh, oh
(Oh, oh)
Oh, oh
(Oh, oh)
All of us light, all of us free
All of us light, all of us free
All of us light, all of us free
All of us light, all of us free
(There was a time)
When we were golden
(When we were golden)
Like the Sun
(Like the Sun)
We were lights in the world
(We were lights in the world)
Then we strayed
(Then we strayed)
Away from the Garden
(Away from the Garden)
Oh, Oh
(Oh, Oh)
Oh, Oh
(Oh, Oh)
There was a time

Maraqopa lyrics - Damien Jurado
It's your oldest fear, that the love you can hear will go
It's a deafening sound, we become light on the ground, then soil
To be one with the sky, where the souls all collide, turn to gold
We are rain, we are rain
We are stones to be seen, in the meadows we are dreams to be free
It's where we bow our heads to pray, we are echoes God creates in the shade
It's where the light can come in, your breath becomes the wind in the trees
We are free, we are free
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
It's a deafening sound, we become light on the ground, then soil
To be one with the sky, where the souls all collide, turn to gold
We are rain, we are rain
We are stones to be seen, in the meadows we are dreams to be free
It's where we bow our heads to pray, we are echoes God creates in the shade
It's where the light can come in, your breath becomes the wind in the trees
We are free, we are free
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
All are welcome in
This Time Next Year lyrics - Damien Jurado
I heard you call my name
You were outside the door
How did I not hear you before
A chance to be reborn
To never be alone
I should have done this long ago
To finally wear a golden crown
To be in light, transcending sound
To be lifted from the ground
You're coming through now loud and clear
My God, you went for many years
It's good to have you here
I heard you call my name
You were outside the door
How did I not hear you before
I heard that there would come a day
When you show up just like they said
Do you always show up so unannounced
The stars and light, they moved aside
From where I stood, you shined so bright
Take me back with you this time
To finally wear a golden crown
To be in light, transcending sound
To be lifted from the ground
The stars and light, they moved aside
From where I stood, you shined so bright
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
You were outside the door
How did I not hear you before
A chance to be reborn
To never be alone
I should have done this long ago
To finally wear a golden crown
To be in light, transcending sound
To be lifted from the ground
You're coming through now loud and clear
My God, you went for many years
It's good to have you here
I heard you call my name
You were outside the door
How did I not hear you before
I heard that there would come a day
When you show up just like they said
Do you always show up so unannounced
The stars and light, they moved aside
From where I stood, you shined so bright
Take me back with you this time
To finally wear a golden crown
To be in light, transcending sound
To be lifted from the ground
The stars and light, they moved aside
From where I stood, you shined so bright
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
Take me back with you this time
Reel To Reel lyrics - Damien Jurado
You're a smooth talker
With eyes like lightning
And the radio [?]
I sing like our mother
Put away the hairbrush and maybe [?] something you don't know
I read it in the tabloids the trust [?] the thunderstorm
You're an escape artist
And the bathroom mirror
And the autograph seekers
You've imagined outside the door
Yes we love a statement, is it true you're not [?] in your room
From the light out in the basement we knew that there'd be trouble coming soon
Intuition
Mathematics
Invisible audience
Ten hit records
Listen through your tin can as the road cuts circulation to your tune
I fashion myself after you from my suicide electric puzzle
The greatest songs I'll never hear from a band you started in your mind
Leave us hanging on your legend as you exit through the tape recorder
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
With eyes like lightning
And the radio [?]
I sing like our mother
Put away the hairbrush and maybe [?] something you don't know
I read it in the tabloids the trust [?] the thunderstorm
You're an escape artist
And the bathroom mirror
And the autograph seekers
You've imagined outside the door
Yes we love a statement, is it true you're not [?] in your room
From the light out in the basement we knew that there'd be trouble coming soon
Intuition
Mathematics
Invisible audience
Ten hit records
Listen through your tin can as the road cuts circulation to your tune
I fashion myself after you from my suicide electric puzzle
The greatest songs I'll never hear from a band you started in your mind
Leave us hanging on your legend as you exit through the tape recorder
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
Reel to reel
Working Titles lyrics - Damien Jurado
You could mess up my life in a poem
Have me divorced by the time of the chorus
There's no need to change any sentence
When you always decide where I go next
Many nights you would hide from the audience
When they were not in tune with your progress
In the end you're a fool like the journalist
Who turns what you sing into business
You could use to be more like a hero
A darker shade of damage distortion
Wearing death like a cape or a costume
Cut your ties and leave town when you want to
Killing time 'til I pass through the chamber
Or the room you keep my replacement
so fed up, still you're starving on paper
You're no him, but he's you, only better
Leave me an exit to damage
I could use a ledge to jump off of
I wasn't lying when I said this was over
I have questions that lead to more questions
Running time that will cut off my fingers
You wrote about me on every new record
And I'll show up in a title of your song
I only hope somebody requests it
What's it like for you in Washington
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know
Leave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens
Write me a song I can sing in my sleep
As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I want you and the skyline, these are my demands
What's it like for you in Washington
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know, know
Have me divorced by the time of the chorus
There's no need to change any sentence
When you always decide where I go next
Many nights you would hide from the audience
When they were not in tune with your progress
In the end you're a fool like the journalist
Who turns what you sing into business
You could use to be more like a hero
A darker shade of damage distortion
Wearing death like a cape or a costume
Cut your ties and leave town when you want to
Killing time 'til I pass through the chamber
Or the room you keep my replacement
so fed up, still you're starving on paper
You're no him, but he's you, only better
Leave me an exit to damage
I could use a ledge to jump off of
I wasn't lying when I said this was over
I have questions that lead to more questions
Running time that will cut off my fingers
You wrote about me on every new record
And I'll show up in a title of your song
I only hope somebody requests it
What's it like for you in Washington
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know
Leave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens
Write me a song I can sing in my sleep
As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I want you and the skyline, these are my demands
What's it like for you in Washington
I've only seen photos of Washington
I'll never know, know
Everyone A Star lyrics - Damien Jurado
Burned out, I found you like a light on
Time to forget all that I've done
I'm too in tune to change the dial
Connected colors for the mood
I'm on rewind all the time
A welcome sign outside my mind
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for days inside the blue
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
In time I found you like a light on
I won't forget all that you've done
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for weeks inside the blue
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Time to forget all that I've done
I'm too in tune to change the dial
Connected colors for the mood
I'm on rewind all the time
A welcome sign outside my mind
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for days inside the blue
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
In time I found you like a light on
I won't forget all that you've done
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for weeks inside the blue
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
So On, Nevada lyrics - Damien Jurado
I don't recall ever a time when you felt fine
Leaving the room saying you would come back and I believed you
Don't hide your smile, don't be set in your ways, hey hey hey
And I'll bide my time with you by my side in Colorado
The birds will fly south so you take their advice and Leave also
Don't call my bluff, don't guess what I do, ooh, ooh, ooh
Well, it's not that I mind you just hanging around
I know that you mean well, but it's dragging me down
Oh, it's dragging me down
And I could map ties and I'll finally decide on a new home
I'll phone your from somewhere, sometime, so on, Nevada
Don't call my friends, they don't answer the phone, no, no, no
Well, it's not that I mind you just hanging around
I know that you mean well, but it's dragging me down
Woah, it's dragging me down
Leaving the room saying you would come back and I believed you
Don't hide your smile, don't be set in your ways, hey hey hey
And I'll bide my time with you by my side in Colorado
The birds will fly south so you take their advice and Leave also
Don't call my bluff, don't guess what I do, ooh, ooh, ooh
Well, it's not that I mind you just hanging around
I know that you mean well, but it's dragging me down
Oh, it's dragging me down
And I could map ties and I'll finally decide on a new home
I'll phone your from somewhere, sometime, so on, Nevada
Don't call my friends, they don't answer the phone, no, no, no
Well, it's not that I mind you just hanging around
I know that you mean well, but it's dragging me down
Woah, it's dragging me down
Museum Of Flight lyrics - Damien Jurado
Falling to the ground
I was anxious to be found
You can always go home
To the safety of your cloud
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I am so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around to love revealing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
Falling into sound
Is a less defeating path
One day we will go home
To the safety of our clouds
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I'm so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around, my life was changing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I'm so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around, my life was changing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
I was anxious to be found
You can always go home
To the safety of your cloud
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I am so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around to love revealing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
Falling into sound
Is a less defeating path
One day we will go home
To the safety of our clouds
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I'm so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around, my life was changing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
Don't let go
I need you to hang around
I'm so broke
And foolishly in love
I turned around, my life was changing
What did I learn, it's not that easy
When you get burned and go on burning light
Mountains Still Asleep lyrics - Damien Jurado
I stood above the clouds
To see you on the ground
Waving me down
Feel free to lose yourself
I do this all the time
Love is a blinding sun
We are songs to be sung
Treasures of worry here
Your voice was so sincere
I’ve known you my whole life
You told me once before
I should have known it then
Joy is letting it go
We are all mountains still asleep
I heard an echo say
We are all given away
Never to come back
And when we cross the line
We become defined
Broken sound, feeding back
To see you on the ground
Waving me down
Feel free to lose yourself
I do this all the time
Love is a blinding sun
We are songs to be sung
Treasures of worry here
Your voice was so sincere
I’ve known you my whole life
You told me once before
I should have known it then
Joy is letting it go
We are all mountains still asleep
I heard an echo say
We are all given away
Never to come back
And when we cross the line
We become defined
Broken sound, feeding back
Cloudy Shoes lyrics - Damien Jurado
I wish that I could float
Float up from the ground
I will never know
What that's like
You have a way about you
I wish that I had
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
Funny how we all can change
If we just try to
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
One day you will be taller
Taller than the sky
Until that day you will be
Here with us below
Magic will do what magic does
Living in your eyes
Do you think someday soon
You will have the time?
I could use another hand
To help pull me through
Someday theses hospital stays
Get the best of me
Trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
Trying to work it out
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Float up from the ground
I will never know
What that's like
You have a way about you
I wish that I had
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
Funny how we all can change
If we just try to
Thought it was impossible
To live and love like you
One day you will be taller
Taller than the sky
Until that day you will be
Here with us below
Magic will do what magic does
Living in your eyes
Do you think someday soon
You will have the time?
I could use another hand
To help pull me through
Someday theses hospital stays
Get the best of me
Trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
Trying to work it out
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Still trying to fix my mind
I'm still trying to fix my mind
Arkansas lyrics - Damien Jurado
I don't recall the last time we spoke
You said it's my fault, I still don't believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
We both know this was a mistake
I'd love to come home but I need an escape
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
Taller than trees and brighter than starlight
I never feel magic unless I'm with you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Tell me you mean it when you tell me you loved me
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
I don't recall the last time we spoke
You said it's my fault, I still don't believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Tell me you mean it when you tell me you loved me
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
You said it's my fault, I still don't believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
We both know this was a mistake
I'd love to come home but I need an escape
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
Taller than trees and brighter than starlight
I never feel magic unless I'm with you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Tell me you mean it when you tell me you loved me
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
I don't recall the last time we spoke
You said it's my fault, I still don't believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Tell me you mean it when you tell me you loved me
I wanna believe you, I wanna believe you
Oh oh oh oh Arkansas
Fade out
This is where the credits roll our name
Rachel & Cali lyrics - Damien Jurado
Rachel would it be alright if I stayed here in the car
There's too many people out there I don't know
It's not that I'm too shy or cannot be polite
I just don't feel confident in crowds
Cali you can do what you'd like I'll probably be here awhile
I leave you my car keys in case you want to leave
Welcome to stay at my house my parents will both be out
There's a blanket in the closet if you decide to sleep over
Rachel I am sorry to call, I can't sleep at all
The closet is unfamiliar my parents are soon to be home
Cali there's no way you'll be caught my closet door has a lock
I'll keep my window open so you can get in
Sometimes I wish you knew how I keep living for you
A friend is only a love you're not committed to
There's too many people out there I don't know
It's not that I'm too shy or cannot be polite
I just don't feel confident in crowds
Cali you can do what you'd like I'll probably be here awhile
I leave you my car keys in case you want to leave
Welcome to stay at my house my parents will both be out
There's a blanket in the closet if you decide to sleep over
Rachel I am sorry to call, I can't sleep at all
The closet is unfamiliar my parents are soon to be home
Cali there's no way you'll be caught my closet door has a lock
I'll keep my window open so you can get in
Sometimes I wish you knew how I keep living for you
A friend is only a love you're not committed to
Throwing Your Voice lyrics - Damien Jurado
I've got news for you, we all know
Stop acting like you've never heard this before
Blood on your hands, leaving your mark
It's when you cross the line where the trouble starts
Michael, you had a voice, learned to lie
Was the day that I fell apart that we almost died
I would like to think people change
But I've seen no evidence or the point it made
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
Michael, I've had enough, it's time to go
Make this clear, don't want you here
You can throw your voice all you'd like
I don't want to see him return any time
Shake off your doubt, grab a hold
Sometimes the hardest part is letting you go
You can always come back when you need
And I'll leave the light on, leave the light on
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
Stop acting like you've never heard this before
Blood on your hands, leaving your mark
It's when you cross the line where the trouble starts
Michael, you had a voice, learned to lie
Was the day that I fell apart that we almost died
I would like to think people change
But I've seen no evidence or the point it made
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
Michael, I've had enough, it's time to go
Make this clear, don't want you here
You can throw your voice all you'd like
I don't want to see him return any time
Shake off your doubt, grab a hold
Sometimes the hardest part is letting you go
You can always come back when you need
And I'll leave the light on, leave the light on
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
You can come back when you need
Wallingford lyrics - Damien Jurado
What I need is a hand that'll hold on
Reaching out and not letting go
Many times I find I am let down
By the ones, who keep me close
Are you kept then told like a secret
Do you find that you're kept in the dark
Calling out, your voice is an echo
No words come back, but your own
As a whole
As a whole
Free to fly but your wings haven't grown out
Many windows in the house
Please tell us what concerns you
Not to help, but to look the part
Anxiously awaiting your arrival
You look like you could use a rest
Overwhelmed by all the excitement
Better friends to take your place
As a whole
As a whole
As a whole
As a whole
Reaching out and not letting go
Many times I find I am let down
By the ones, who keep me close
Are you kept then told like a secret
Do you find that you're kept in the dark
Calling out, your voice is an echo
No words come back, but your own
As a whole
As a whole
Free to fly but your wings haven't grown out
Many windows in the house
Please tell us what concerns you
Not to help, but to look the part
Anxiously awaiting your arrival
You look like you could use a rest
Overwhelmed by all the excitement
Better friends to take your place
As a whole
As a whole
As a whole
As a whole
Pear lyrics - Damien Jurado
I don't need a safer place to land
All my life was built on the sinking sand
What you see is what you get
If I do come home please leave the light on
(I don't need a safer place to land)
You tell so and so to leave a bed
(All my life was built on the sinking sand)
You should've said, you should've said
You should've said, you should've said
All my life was built on the sinking sand
What you see is what you get
If I do come home please leave the light on
(I don't need a safer place to land)
You tell so and so to leave a bed
(All my life was built on the sinking sand)
You should've said, you should've said
You should've said, you should've said
Kansas City lyrics - Damien Jurado
Kansas City, I fought back the tears
I know that I should have been thrilled
I can't smile knowing all the while
Everything you did, you did for you
Kansas City, he asked me how I've been
I lie and then said that I've been fine
Words that trailed off and that's as far as we got
I know I should have been thrilled
Kansas City, I am not his son
I belong to my mother who's now gone
All was left to me and that's why he has returned
I know I should have been thrilled
Kansas City, thanks for your concern
I will learn to get by on my own
Orphaned by my state, call him by his name
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know that I should have been thrilled
I can't smile knowing all the while
Everything you did, you did for you
Kansas City, he asked me how I've been
I lie and then said that I've been fine
Words that trailed off and that's as far as we got
I know I should have been thrilled
Kansas City, I am not his son
I belong to my mother who's now gone
All was left to me and that's why he has returned
I know I should have been thrilled
Kansas City, thanks for your concern
I will learn to get by on my own
Orphaned by my state, call him by his name
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
I know some day I will return
Harborview lyrics - Damien Jurado
Far out and failing
So they lead you away
Speak for me would you
I have nothing to say
And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow
Mothers and fathers
You sisters all lost
The pending opinions
Are you worth what they've got
And they would not notice
Your hands open wide
Some Judas before them
With thorns in your side
Feel free to lay down
You could use a rest
Speak for me would you
Since you've taken my breath
And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow
So they lead you away
Speak for me would you
I have nothing to say
And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow
Mothers and fathers
You sisters all lost
The pending opinions
Are you worth what they've got
And they would not notice
Your hands open wide
Some Judas before them
With thorns in your side
Feel free to lay down
You could use a rest
Speak for me would you
Since you've taken my breath
And you would not notice
My hands have let go
Feel free to replace them
They are idle and slow
Kalama lyrics - Damien Jurado
Mother, do you know how
All of this has changed us
I was a fool who would always defend you
Was I wrong, too, like the others
Sisters and brothers abandoned
Forgive my living, keep me from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
Mother, is it easy
Knowing that I will die soon
Will you keep me as ashes
Placed on the mantle or thrown out
Mother, do you know now
Love is not painless, it's poison
Forgive my living, keep my from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
All of this has changed us
I was a fool who would always defend you
Was I wrong, too, like the others
Sisters and brothers abandoned
Forgive my living, keep me from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
Mother, is it easy
Knowing that I will die soon
Will you keep me as ashes
Placed on the mantle or thrown out
Mother, do you know now
Love is not painless, it's poison
Forgive my living, keep my from breathing
A house that is standing is no house at all
The Falling Snow lyrics - Damien Jurado
When you fell, you fell so hard
Reaching for me in the falling snow
I would have stayed, you said I should go
How will you make it home
Leaving your way, I heard you got lost
Losing your voice to the ground below
I stayed awake until you were home
It was days and days and
Come down from your mountain
You've been gone too long
If you will then you should say so
Don't leave me hanging on
Out from my open window
We could hear you breathing
Hope gone but it does not hold on
Every mountain falls
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Reaching for me in the falling snow
I would have stayed, you said I should go
How will you make it home
Leaving your way, I heard you got lost
Losing your voice to the ground below
I stayed awake until you were home
It was days and days and
Come down from your mountain
You've been gone too long
If you will then you should say so
Don't leave me hanging on
Out from my open window
We could hear you breathing
Hope gone but it does not hold on
Every mountain falls
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Beacon Hill lyrics - Damien Jurado
Keeping you close, falling behind
I lost my voice, you lost your mind
You say you're not well, I say that you're fine
Walking with me through the aisles of a drugstore
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
Your mother's a fake, a phantom who steals
The smile on your face is not what you feel
I'll check you in if you check me out
Some lonesome wrist-cutter who says I'm her brother
Oh, if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
Was I the ghost or one of your voices
You hear in you head when you're out killing horses
Who's taking my place, who's taking you home
I don't think it's safe to turn out the nightlight
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
I read your reviews, I studied the lines
I know them so well, my life's now a tragedy
One for the road, two for the plane
And I will be fine, as long as you take me
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
It's alright, baby
It's alright, baby
It's alright, babe
It's alright
I lost my voice, you lost your mind
You say you're not well, I say that you're fine
Walking with me through the aisles of a drugstore
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
Your mother's a fake, a phantom who steals
The smile on your face is not what you feel
I'll check you in if you check me out
Some lonesome wrist-cutter who says I'm her brother
Oh, if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
Was I the ghost or one of your voices
You hear in you head when you're out killing horses
Who's taking my place, who's taking you home
I don't think it's safe to turn out the nightlight
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
I read your reviews, I studied the lines
I know them so well, my life's now a tragedy
One for the road, two for the plane
And I will be fine, as long as you take me
And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me
It's alright, baby
It's alright, baby
It's alright, babe
It's alright
With Lightning In Your Hands lyrics - Damien Jurado
Throw down your soul
Keep it in the soil
Will you return with a storm
Pockets full of silver
Treasures made of gold
Will you return with a mighty storm
Hiding in the shadow
Caught in your trees
Will you return with a mighty storm
Keep it in the soil
Will you return with a storm
Pockets full of silver
Treasures made of gold
Will you return with a mighty storm
Hiding in the shadow
Caught in your trees
Will you return with a mighty storm
Josephine lyrics - Damien Jurado
Josephine, I have seen you on the sidewalk
Throwing troubles just like flowers to passers by
Don't weigh us down, though we have too many anchors
And like you we want to sail into the sea
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Josephine, keep your sunlight in our windows
We are rusting like the silos full of grain
Josephine, is it true that all state children
We will one day be forgotten by our names
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Josephine, I was written in the skyline
You must leave before your time
Don't let us die for we need your hands to cling to
A doorway we can walk through to heaven
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Throwing troubles just like flowers to passers by
Don't weigh us down, though we have too many anchors
And like you we want to sail into the sea
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Josephine, keep your sunlight in our windows
We are rusting like the silos full of grain
Josephine, is it true that all state children
We will one day be forgotten by our names
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Josephine, I was written in the skyline
You must leave before your time
Don't let us die for we need your hands to cling to
A doorway we can walk through to heaven
I never had the chance to grow up
Into what they wanted me to be
Every rainbow has an end
And it's where the color is leaving
Everyone A Star lyrics - Damien Jurado
Burned out, I found you like a light on
Time to forget all that I've done
I'm too in tune to change the dial
Connected colors for the mood
I'm on rewind all the time
A welcome sign outside my mind
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for days inside the blue
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
In time I found you like a light on
I won't forget all that you've done
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for weeks inside the blue
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Time to forget all that I've done
I'm too in tune to change the dial
Connected colors for the mood
I'm on rewind all the time
A welcome sign outside my mind
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for days inside the blue
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
In time I found you like a light on
I won't forget all that you've done
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for weeks inside the blue
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Gillian Was A Horse lyrics - Damien Jurado
It's midnight and I give up I'm tired of lying for you
I will not hold your hands and pretend I'm your lover
You must admit the turnouts have all been less than grand
There's no more police escorts or the high school welcome bands
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
Now they've put away the kissing booths chapstick gossips truth
The only donkey that they'll be riding boy is the one wearing your shoes
Know they've heard it through the walls of telephone operators
And I found out from someone else said it was your brother
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
I don't care if I'm the only one who's not paying
'Cause honey I am done staying up all night waiting
Now we're all tying the ribbons of worry to your tree
Your passing will make the headlines but sadly no one will read
Just how the town's hopeless romantic had his heart on his sleeve
Died alone in the carport of the local library
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
I will not hold your hands and pretend I'm your lover
You must admit the turnouts have all been less than grand
There's no more police escorts or the high school welcome bands
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
Now they've put away the kissing booths chapstick gossips truth
The only donkey that they'll be riding boy is the one wearing your shoes
Know they've heard it through the walls of telephone operators
And I found out from someone else said it was your brother
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
I don't care if I'm the only one who's not paying
'Cause honey I am done staying up all night waiting
Now we're all tying the ribbons of worry to your tree
Your passing will make the headlines but sadly no one will read
Just how the town's hopeless romantic had his heart on his sleeve
Died alone in the carport of the local library
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
I'm no lie detector
He's no bullshit talker
And we both know who knows
What should be known to all the onlookers
Trials lyrics - Damien Jurado
I broke at the seams, I'm falling apart
You want to hang on so I'm letting you go
You can come back when you make up your mind
Please give him a call, he'll want you to see
That love isn't real and your heart doesn't bleed
You can come back when they let you down
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead
I'm more in need and I'm stuck in a sigh
You can come back and give us a try
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
Shadows of teeth, the caskets you used
A bed always made, straighten your spine
And you can come back whenever you lose
High on the words you try to inhale
I'm calling your bluff in every verse
And you can come back whenever you fail
Tied to your waste, I'm a ship on the chain
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed
You can come back when it's your turn
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead
I'm more in need and stuck in a sigh
You can come back and give us a try
Tied to your waste, I'm a ship on the chain
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed
You can come back, baby it's your turn
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
You want to hang on so I'm letting you go
You can come back when you make up your mind
Please give him a call, he'll want you to see
That love isn't real and your heart doesn't bleed
You can come back when they let you down
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead
I'm more in need and I'm stuck in a sigh
You can come back and give us a try
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
Shadows of teeth, the caskets you used
A bed always made, straighten your spine
And you can come back whenever you lose
High on the words you try to inhale
I'm calling your bluff in every verse
And you can come back whenever you fail
Tied to your waste, I'm a ship on the chain
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed
You can come back when it's your turn
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead
I'm more in need and stuck in a sigh
You can come back and give us a try
Tied to your waste, I'm a ship on the chain
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed
You can come back, baby it's your turn
Stuck in the hurt
Falling back
Hoping you don't relax
Caskets lyrics - Damien Jurado
Two tickets on a Chevrolet train
I've got a suicide pact with your name
You can doubt any doubt any move that is made
'cause I'm putting the worries to page
In a flash you'll be quick to react
I'm a useful spade for the grave
Collect calls to the shadow in town
So what were the chances of saying
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
Knock out teeth to improve how you look
And you're using your tongue for a flag
You look tired in you funeral suit
There's caskets for all to be had
Real estate cemetery, move over
I'm useful as bones in the tomb
Gas drinks for the shadow in town
Because another record is due
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
I've got a suicide pact with your name
You can doubt any doubt any move that is made
'cause I'm putting the worries to page
In a flash you'll be quick to react
I'm a useful spade for the grave
Collect calls to the shadow in town
So what were the chances of saying
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
Knock out teeth to improve how you look
And you're using your tongue for a flag
You look tired in you funeral suit
There's caskets for all to be had
Real estate cemetery, move over
I'm useful as bones in the tomb
Gas drinks for the shadow in town
Because another record is due
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
You must remove the skin and burn it all for fuel
Coats Of Ice lyrics - Damien Jurado
You'll be happy to know the situation is worse
The endless bottles of pills that never seem to work
Sleeping in his clothes and still looking his best
He's so high in tomb you wouldn't know he's dead
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
They're making requests for songs that you never play
Any sanity lost is worth the money paid
How does it feel to be what you sing about
We all came to applaud but the ghost said you'd long checked out
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
You'll be happy to know the situation is worse
The endless bottles of pills that never seem to work
She's keeping receipts on all that you've done wrong
Your selfish efforts were cheap and they lasted far too long
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
The endless bottles of pills that never seem to work
Sleeping in his clothes and still looking his best
He's so high in tomb you wouldn't know he's dead
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
They're making requests for songs that you never play
Any sanity lost is worth the money paid
How does it feel to be what you sing about
We all came to applaud but the ghost said you'd long checked out
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
You'll be happy to know the situation is worse
The endless bottles of pills that never seem to work
She's keeping receipts on all that you've done wrong
Your selfish efforts were cheap and they lasted far too long
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
You look like you could use a rest
You look like you'd be better dead
Go First lyrics - Damien Jurado
Are you all right
You're making me nervous with how much you leave me here
Is it a sign
I don't feel like ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
My closest friends
Live on the side of where you now divide
Is it a sign
If I don't feel like ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
You can go first
You're making me nervous with how much you leave me here
Is it a sign
I don't feel we're ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
You're making me nervous with how much you leave me here
Is it a sign
I don't feel like ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
My closest friends
Live on the side of where you now divide
Is it a sign
If I don't feel like ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
You can go first
You're making me nervous with how much you leave me here
Is it a sign
I don't feel we're ever getting well
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Tell me the lie, you're taking your time over and over
Last Rights lyrics - Damien Jurado
I'm not a bird you catch and release
Your last phone call
Some last ride home
I'm playing for keeps the characters are real
So don't ride me out
Like a noise that you hear and return
It's easy to land but harder to fall
Broken on command
I'll change my tune if it matters to you
God forbid that you listen
To the voice of a man not with it
March 16, this sorry is for you
Send it back if you don't want it
Like a noise that you hear on return
It's easy to land but harder to fall
Broken on the mend
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Your last phone call
Some last ride home
I'm playing for keeps the characters are real
So don't ride me out
Like a noise that you hear and return
It's easy to land but harder to fall
Broken on command
I'll change my tune if it matters to you
God forbid that you listen
To the voice of a man not with it
March 16, this sorry is for you
Send it back if you don't want it
Like a noise that you hear on return
It's easy to land but harder to fall
Broken on the mend
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Dimes lyrics - Damien Jurado
I've got dimes by the dozen
I'm placing a call to your husband
Does he know about me at all?
I hang up when he answers
It's too much for me to handle
What happens now, when it all goes down?
Gas station lights for a candle
Your heart's put together then dismantled
Secrets are best when left unsaid
The floodgates are open
And you'll see me
Running back
And no one is perfect
You must admit it now
I do my best when you're pretending
And no paper plane is safe for landing
This is how the best all die
Holding my breath until you need me
Foraging my way into the simple
Somehow my voice was caught in the trees
The floodgates are open
And you'll see me
Running back
And no one is perfect
You must admit it now
We built this on and what they told us
Switch all the lines just to confuse us
What happens now, when it all goes down
I'm placing a call to your husband
Does he know about me at all?
I hang up when he answers
It's too much for me to handle
What happens now, when it all goes down?
Gas station lights for a candle
Your heart's put together then dismantled
Secrets are best when left unsaid
The floodgates are open
And you'll see me
Running back
And no one is perfect
You must admit it now
I do my best when you're pretending
And no paper plane is safe for landing
This is how the best all die
Holding my breath until you need me
Foraging my way into the simple
Somehow my voice was caught in the trees
The floodgates are open
And you'll see me
Running back
And no one is perfect
You must admit it now
We built this on and what they told us
Switch all the lines just to confuse us
What happens now, when it all goes down
Everything Trying lyrics - Damien Jurado
I call you now to tell you I'm thinking of you
But it does me no good when the phone is just blocking my view
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would come back and admit that it wasn't your fault
But I'm tired and unwilling to be the only one who was wrong
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
But it does me no good when the phone is just blocking my view
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would come back and admit that it wasn't your fault
But I'm tired and unwilling to be the only one who was wrong
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes
Sheets lyrics - Damien Jurado
'Cause he's still coming around like an injured bird needing a nest
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, it steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in
Is he still coming around like an injured bird needing a nest
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, it steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in
Is he still coming around like an injured bird needing a nest
A place to rest his head in a song you'll regret
Still you take him, Lord knows I don't want to compete
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
Swallow him whole like a pill that makes you choke, steals your soul
You have the nerve to look me in the eyes and lie
Send him back, I won't share the trap that you have me in
Still I sleep in the very sheets he's been in
Paper Kite lyrics - Damien Jurado
I'll be right outside
Floating by like a paper kite
I'm caught up in your string
Lucky enough to be in your tree
And you'll never float too long
The birds watch as I sing
Waiting around for scissor teeth
And I could be of use
One more knot in the prisoner's noose
And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long
Floating by like a paper kite
I'm caught up in your string
Lucky enough to be in your tree
And you'll never float too long
The birds watch as I sing
Waiting around for scissor teeth
And I could be of use
One more knot in the prisoner's noose
And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long
And you'll never float too long
Best Dress lyrics - Damien Jurado
Hey now, put your best dress
I'm tired of fighting
Let's take it out on the town
To some old style dancing
We should just have a good time
We could stay out all night long
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
No price I wouldn't pay
To always have you with me
Nothing that I could take
Feels like the thrill you give me
I'll show you such a good time
Keep you up 'til the dark is dawn
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
I'm tired of fighting
Let's take it out on the town
To some old style dancing
We should just have a good time
We could stay out all night long
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
No price I wouldn't pay
To always have you with me
Nothing that I could take
Feels like the thrill you give me
I'll show you such a good time
Keep you up 'til the dark is dawn
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Predictive Living lyrics - Damien Jurado
Moving back, chairs broken and stacked
I can't seem to shake the fix I'm in
Better words that were sung or heard
Years before me
Still I do my best
Pushing pens to breast
Cut out signals left
Just when you thought you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
Rhythm shoes and windows to see through
Another jealous husband to be killed
Better words have been sung out of tune
I'm happy in this hotel once again
Forcing thoughts to pen
Rehearsals for the end
Just when you thought you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
Never kill the manufactured feel
And soul no longer matters in the end
Better words you're never gonna hear
Mrs. Jones your son crossed to the bank
Still he must give thanks
The money's all been made
Just when you though you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
I can't seem to shake the fix I'm in
Better words that were sung or heard
Years before me
Still I do my best
Pushing pens to breast
Cut out signals left
Just when you thought you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
Rhythm shoes and windows to see through
Another jealous husband to be killed
Better words have been sung out of tune
I'm happy in this hotel once again
Forcing thoughts to pen
Rehearsals for the end
Just when you thought you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
Never kill the manufactured feel
And soul no longer matters in the end
Better words you're never gonna hear
Mrs. Jones your son crossed to the bank
Still he must give thanks
The money's all been made
Just when you though you had me pegged
Thinking I'm the same
Then I go and change
Three become a name
Chords just rearranged
Hoquiam lyrics - Damien Jurado
Standing with my feet deep in the ground
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind?
Am I no one until someone calls me out?
Are you just pretending when we talk?
You should have seen me
Keeping watch at dawn
Picture now a car ride through the plains
Where east meets west and only sky remains
Were you faking death to only gain concern?
The cut out lights and signals told us wrong
You should have seen us
Carefree behind the wheel
Lover I am still here breaking chairs
Will I ever be the hero in your song
Or forever in your shadow so unseen?
Trapped between the lines that you write down?
You should have told me
Broken jaw and all
Crippled in your glory
Restless till my death
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind?
Am I no one until someone calls me out?
Are you just pretending when we talk?
You should have seen me
Keeping watch at dawn
Picture now a car ride through the plains
Where east meets west and only sky remains
Were you faking death to only gain concern?
The cut out lights and signals told us wrong
You should have seen us
Carefree behind the wheel
Lover I am still here breaking chairs
Will I ever be the hero in your song
Or forever in your shadow so unseen?
Trapped between the lines that you write down?
You should have told me
Broken jaw and all
Crippled in your glory
Restless till my death
Denton, TX lyrics - Damien Jurado
She walked in with sadness in her eyes
I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars
"Well hello I am dawn..."
"Yes I've seen you around..."
"And I just live down from here"
She has a dad she does not know
Who sends her letters with no return address
"I don't know his name..."
"He don't know my face..."
"I am better off this way"
On the weekends when I drive her into town
In a car that I borrowed from my mom
She makes hotel beds
Where the sidewalk ends
And I wait for her to come home
Please come home
Then one day she finally stopped coming around
My best friend said she probably moved out of town
Not a letter was sent
Not a phone call was made
And I hope she comes back here
Someday
I could tell she'd been sleeping with the stars
"Well hello I am dawn..."
"Yes I've seen you around..."
"And I just live down from here"
She has a dad she does not know
Who sends her letters with no return address
"I don't know his name..."
"He don't know my face..."
"I am better off this way"
On the weekends when I drive her into town
In a car that I borrowed from my mom
She makes hotel beds
Where the sidewalk ends
And I wait for her to come home
Please come home
Then one day she finally stopped coming around
My best friend said she probably moved out of town
Not a letter was sent
Not a phone call was made
And I hope she comes back here
Someday
I Had No Intentions lyrics - Damien Jurado
He motioned to me from across the street
His arms waving madly "Come over to me"
I saw the panic as he approached
We both ran quickly to the house
Where the windows were shot out
He lay there bleeding on the floor
My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord...
Someone shot my boy"
I held his hand 'til the ambulance came
And onto a stretcher they took him away
I followed close from the car behind
The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind
November 9
Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun
It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs
The damage is now done
He was seem by her lover the night before
Swearing to kill him outside her door
To her defense my brother walked out
Raising his fist and screaming "Get out...
It's me she's with now!"
Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes
I slipped into nighttime and deep into dying
Without even trying
His arms waving madly "Come over to me"
I saw the panic as he approached
We both ran quickly to the house
Where the windows were shot out
He lay there bleeding on the floor
My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord...
Someone shot my boy"
I held his hand 'til the ambulance came
And onto a stretcher they took him away
I followed close from the car behind
The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind
November 9
Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun
It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs
The damage is now done
He was seem by her lover the night before
Swearing to kill him outside her door
To her defense my brother walked out
Raising his fist and screaming "Get out...
It's me she's with now!"
Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes
I slipped into nighttime and deep into dying
Without even trying
And Now That I'm In Your Shadow lyrics - Damien Jurado
I would rather hide behind you
Or stand in your eclipse
The sun, it does not move me like it used to
And neither do you
And Greenland I am with you
I was once unwanted
In the front seats all with strangers
I too was the Earth's ceiling
I lost all feeling
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
I am black
I'll be a crash landing who can change the landscape talking
And when I begin to stutter the land will be shaking
And God will be clapping
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
I am black
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
And I am black
Or stand in your eclipse
The sun, it does not move me like it used to
And neither do you
And Greenland I am with you
I was once unwanted
In the front seats all with strangers
I too was the Earth's ceiling
I lost all feeling
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
I am black
I'll be a crash landing who can change the landscape talking
And when I begin to stutter the land will be shaking
And God will be clapping
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
I am black
And now I'm in your shadow
I'm motionless
And I am black
What Were The Chances lyrics - Damien Jurado
When I left you alone to fight your battles
Of long winters and motels what went through your mind?
How is it that you made it?
How is it that you noticed?
It wasn't me who was looking at you
Through foggy glass or windows, it was them
I was out in Coolidge with my head on a counter
Drinking down my chances to ever return to anyone
No I wasn't faking it, the hurt I felt was real
And all that was holy just slowly disappeared
Or just appeared in parking lots of truck stops
The blinking lights, and now all I'm thinking is
"How the hell did I get here?"
Does your husband know I call you sweetheart?
Does he know that I call you at all?
It's not like you are cheating we're only meeting
In hotels and not your home
Would you change your last name to mine?
I think my kids would mind
I think my kids would mind
I was in the desert waving planes and burning phone books
To a tune that was famous the year I was born
Do not leave me dancing alone
Pick up the phone and call me lover
Say come and get me I am home
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Of long winters and motels what went through your mind?
How is it that you made it?
How is it that you noticed?
It wasn't me who was looking at you
Through foggy glass or windows, it was them
I was out in Coolidge with my head on a counter
Drinking down my chances to ever return to anyone
No I wasn't faking it, the hurt I felt was real
And all that was holy just slowly disappeared
Or just appeared in parking lots of truck stops
The blinking lights, and now all I'm thinking is
"How the hell did I get here?"
Does your husband know I call you sweetheart?
Does he know that I call you at all?
It's not like you are cheating we're only meeting
In hotels and not your home
Would you change your last name to mine?
I think my kids would mind
I think my kids would mind
I was in the desert waving planes and burning phone books
To a tune that was famous the year I was born
Do not leave me dancing alone
Pick up the phone and call me lover
Say come and get me I am home
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Shannon Rhodes lyrics - Damien Jurado
I drove from Montesano to Aberdeen
From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach
And a pocket full of wrong numbers
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?
I see her in the window of my memory
She's standing like an angel down the hall
I'll call you when I get home this evening
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?
Some say that she moved in with her lover
The man that her mother could not stand
"Ma, he only hits me when he's angry"
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhodes?
Four miles from the highway they found her
Laying in the tall grass by the road
And she was murdered by the hands of her lover
Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhodes
Yesterday I went out to her grave site
It was the same day that her lover stood his trial
And at her grave I stood there and remembered
All of my days with her are gone
From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach
And a pocket full of wrong numbers
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?
I see her in the window of my memory
She's standing like an angel down the hall
I'll call you when I get home this evening
Has anybody here seen Shannon Rhodes?
Some say that she moved in with her lover
The man that her mother could not stand
"Ma, he only hits me when he's angry"
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhodes?
Four miles from the highway they found her
Laying in the tall grass by the road
And she was murdered by the hands of her lover
Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhodes
Yesterday I went out to her grave site
It was the same day that her lover stood his trial
And at her grave I stood there and remembered
All of my days with her are gone
There Goes Your Man lyrics - Damien Jurado
There goes your man
There goes your man
He's walking by, and shaking like a leaf
There goes your man
Here comes your death
Here comes your death
Keeping your breath safely in the trees
Here comes your death
Come now, you widow
Come now, you widow
Come and rest, so quiet in the meadow
Here comes your man
There goes your man
He's walking by, and shaking like a leaf
There goes your man
Here comes your death
Here comes your death
Keeping your breath safely in the trees
Here comes your death
Come now, you widow
Come now, you widow
Come and rest, so quiet in the meadow
Here comes your man
I Am Still Here lyrics - Damien Jurado
I stood alone there in the driveway
'Til I saw your headlights fade
And disappear
Burn out like stars
A Chevrolet train that rolls in the night
I must have had a hundred nightmares
Of you falling asleep at the wheel
I send my prayers
Where are you now?
I am still here and going nowhere
Here is a photo of our first baby
Here is a photo of our wedding day
Nothing has changed
My love still the same
I am still here and here I remain
When you come back we'll have a party
We'll hang up the Christmas lights
You'll be my bride
I'll be your groom
I love you so much, please make it home soon
Your mother said that you called this morning
"Tell him I love him, but I am not returning"
'Til I saw your headlights fade
And disappear
Burn out like stars
A Chevrolet train that rolls in the night
I must have had a hundred nightmares
Of you falling asleep at the wheel
I send my prayers
Where are you now?
I am still here and going nowhere
Here is a photo of our first baby
Here is a photo of our wedding day
Nothing has changed
My love still the same
I am still here and here I remain
When you come back we'll have a party
We'll hang up the Christmas lights
You'll be my bride
I'll be your groom
I love you so much, please make it home soon
Your mother said that you called this morning
"Tell him I love him, but I am not returning"
Gasoline Drinks lyrics - Damien Jurado
This gasoline makes on fine drink
All I need is trouble
Flicker in the sunlight's dawn
They'll find my dead body cold
I used to wither just like winter
And now all I am is useless
So now is the time
To say all I wished I could have said
But I can't get my tongue out
And I can't get my sword to work
I'll just talk loads of bullshit anyhow
Your mother in torn garments
Like Jesus Christ denied
And blood in all her pockets
And you inside her eyes
Shut it down
Kill the lights
Shut it down
Let's shut it down
Let's kill the lights
Let's shut it down
Let's kill the lights
All I need is trouble
Flicker in the sunlight's dawn
They'll find my dead body cold
I used to wither just like winter
And now all I am is useless
So now is the time
To say all I wished I could have said
But I can't get my tongue out
And I can't get my sword to work
I'll just talk loads of bullshit anyhow
Your mother in torn garments
Like Jesus Christ denied
And blood in all her pockets
And you inside her eyes
Shut it down
Kill the lights
Shut it down
Let's shut it down
Let's kill the lights
Let's shut it down
Let's kill the lights
Gas Station lyrics - Damien Jurado
I quit my job
I moved away
I kept in touch
With all my old friends
From time to time
I hear about you
Are you still married?
Are you still happy?
How about your sister
Is she still running?
I ran into her
Last year in Denton
She spoke so quiet
Like I remember
And I asked about you
She gave no answer
I'd always planned
To come back for you
But we both know how
You'd never leave
I moved away
I kept in touch
With all my old friends
From time to time
I hear about you
Are you still married?
Are you still happy?
How about your sister
Is she still running?
I ran into her
Last year in Denton
She spoke so quiet
Like I remember
And I asked about you
She gave no answer
I'd always planned
To come back for you
But we both know how
You'd never leave

Heard he shot another
No one knows a reason
It didn't make the paper
It's just another white lie
Here in White Center
Here in White Center

Here in White Center
Can I take out the flowers?
Sunday packed the churches
Morning comes too slowly
For us who feel like victims
Here in White Center
Here in White Center
Here in White Center
Here in White Center
Turn off your headlights
Here comes a cop car
Music for the bad boys
Music for the good boys

Lottery lyrics - Damien Jurado
Misfortune, got you like a sickness
The saints and angels all agree
Trouble sure as trouble sees it
I need it in writing to believe
To believe
The target was your heart in the beginning
Now there digging soft ground for your grave
I hope the mourners will bring plastic flowers
They'll drink to your death with pink champagne
Pink champagne
Now I hear your widow crying
Her weeping I made into this song
It's popular with the disco dancers
They'll play it on the radio all week long
All week long
Misfortune, got you like a sickness
And the saints, the angels all agree
Trouble sure as trouble sees it
I need it in writing to believe
To believe
The saints and angels all agree
Trouble sure as trouble sees it
I need it in writing to believe
To believe
The target was your heart in the beginning
Now there digging soft ground for your grave
I hope the mourners will bring plastic flowers
They'll drink to your death with pink champagne
Pink champagne
Now I hear your widow crying
Her weeping I made into this song
It's popular with the disco dancers
They'll play it on the radio all week long
All week long
Misfortune, got you like a sickness
And the saints, the angels all agree
Trouble sure as trouble sees it
I need it in writing to believe
To believe
Lion Tamer lyrics - Damien Jurado
We said goodbye a year ago
We sat within the farmhouse
So you know, don't you?
I went to the house alone
The power out, no telephone
You know, you'll know
The gun in the drawer
The long distance call
A story to tell
Patience drifts into the sound
You are nothing to me now
I need time to figure out
Save us now before we drown
Hello, goodbye I said last we met
I'll be easy to forget
You know, you'll know
An empty beer, the sealing broke
The saddest song we ever wrote
You'll know, don't you?
It's all for the best
It's not what it seems
The gun in the drawer
The long distance call
A story to tell
Patience drifts into the sound
You are nothing to me now
I need time to figure out
Save us now before we drown
We sat within the farmhouse
So you know, don't you?
I went to the house alone
The power out, no telephone
You know, you'll know
The gun in the drawer
The long distance call
A story to tell
Patience drifts into the sound
You are nothing to me now
I need time to figure out
Save us now before we drown
Hello, goodbye I said last we met
I'll be easy to forget
You know, you'll know
An empty beer, the sealing broke
The saddest song we ever wrote
You'll know, don't you?
It's all for the best
It's not what it seems
The gun in the drawer
The long distance call
A story to tell
Patience drifts into the sound
You are nothing to me now
I need time to figure out
Save us now before we drown
Fuel lyrics - Damien Jurado
I was born in this town
My name taken from here
Three sisters and a brother
Who all died before me
When wickedness takes you
Like a child of its own
Nobody will befriend you
Nobody will defend you
I murdered the law here
I took on God here
So in place of your sins I bring you a Judas
So mother, burn my body
For fuel
Oh, mother, burn my body
For fuel
They say I'm a story
But the legend's all wrong
I was forced out of town
But kept in this song
See, it was you who made me
It is you who must take me
Love me or hate me
I'm still your son
So mother, burn my body
For fuel
Oh, mother, burn my body
For fuel
So mother, burn my body
For fuel.
My name taken from here
Three sisters and a brother
Who all died before me
When wickedness takes you
Like a child of its own
Nobody will befriend you
Nobody will defend you
I murdered the law here
I took on God here
So in place of your sins I bring you a Judas
So mother, burn my body
For fuel
Oh, mother, burn my body
For fuel
They say I'm a story
But the legend's all wrong
I was forced out of town
But kept in this song
See, it was you who made me
It is you who must take me
Love me or hate me
I'm still your son
So mother, burn my body
For fuel
Oh, mother, burn my body
For fuel
So mother, burn my body
For fuel.
Sucker lyrics - Damien Jurado
With both eyes closed I blew out his windows
A cheap shot, I know, but someone had to do it
"It isn't like he deserves it," that's easy for you to say
He's not your kind, he's not your type
Just look into his eyes
On my side of town we let the lights go down
Get out your knives and go for a long drive
I'm nothing special, a yard sale collectable for your table
Eventually you'll, too, gather dust like the rest of us
Left out to rust
So tell me tonight, can we be magnetic
Lightning will strike and some of us will get it
Now that I'm social, I'm at your disposal, a chair at the table
Eventually you'll, too, gather dust like the rest of us
Left out to rust
A cheap shot, I know, but someone had to do it
"It isn't like he deserves it," that's easy for you to say
He's not your kind, he's not your type
Just look into his eyes
On my side of town we let the lights go down
Get out your knives and go for a long drive
I'm nothing special, a yard sale collectable for your table
Eventually you'll, too, gather dust like the rest of us
Left out to rust
So tell me tonight, can we be magnetic
Lightning will strike and some of us will get it
Now that I'm social, I'm at your disposal, a chair at the table
Eventually you'll, too, gather dust like the rest of us
Left out to rust
I Am The Mountain lyrics - Damien Jurado
Hello dessert heat
When did you leave me undone?
A bastard son to the wind
It blows me your direction
The houses in the meadows
Have all but shed their skin
And now a boneless shadow
That lies among the lilies
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
The mountain said to his daughter
"The hill shall be your husband"
So leave me now volcano
To destroy all God has given
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
When did you leave me undone?
A bastard son to the wind
It blows me your direction
The houses in the meadows
Have all but shed their skin
And now a boneless shadow
That lies among the lilies
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
The mountain said to his daughter
"The hill shall be your husband"
So leave me now volcano
To destroy all God has given
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
How long can you keep your distance
Who shall be my witness
Northbound lyrics - Damien Jurado
Northbound open, use left hand lane
I drive to a place where no one knows who I am
Stop lights broken, tail lights out
I speed without caution on a road made of ice
My body an engine, my car is a train
I don't feel guilty for the hurt or pain
Telephone message, we all ring twice
I speed without caution on a road made of ice
I drive to a place where no one knows who I am
Stop lights broken, tail lights out
I speed without caution on a road made of ice
My body an engine, my car is a train
I don't feel guilty for the hurt or pain
Telephone message, we all ring twice
I speed without caution on a road made of ice
Icicle lyrics - Damien Jurado
I did not recognize you
You're playing with your face
Through your eyes I do despise you
There's not a person that I hate
But you.
When I could reach you from a distance
When I could sail upon the horizon
I left behind all those who mattered
The memory's gone, they're foggy to me
You'll see
I will not argue with you
There's only blackness in your heart
In the buildings that you tore down with your mind
No on told me you had feelings
They kept it secret and away from me
What would I give to have them silent
Their mouths all taken from them
When I could reach you from a distance
When I could sail upon the horizon
I left behind all those who mattered
They're all not gone, just blurry memory
You'll see
I will not argue with you
There's only blackness in your heart
In the buildings that you tore down with your mind
You're playing with your face
Through your eyes I do despise you
There's not a person that I hate
But you.
When I could reach you from a distance
When I could sail upon the horizon
I left behind all those who mattered
The memory's gone, they're foggy to me
You'll see
I will not argue with you
There's only blackness in your heart
In the buildings that you tore down with your mind
No on told me you had feelings
They kept it secret and away from me
What would I give to have them silent
Their mouths all taken from them
When I could reach you from a distance
When I could sail upon the horizon
I left behind all those who mattered
They're all not gone, just blurry memory
You'll see
I will not argue with you
There's only blackness in your heart
In the buildings that you tore down with your mind
A Jealous Heart Is A Heavy Heart lyrics - Damien Jurado
I woke up this morning
With death at my window, singing
Come out, come with me,
It's friendship that I seek, and conversation
He left you a widow,
A dress made of shadow, you can't see through
And while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
You've convinced me he loves you
But he doesn't know you like I do
And I'll bring you treasure,
A love you can measure and I live
With a home on a hillside,
A castle and a grave site you can sleep in
So while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
Well while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
Grow old with me
Grow old with me
Grow old with me
With death at my window, singing
Come out, come with me,
It's friendship that I seek, and conversation
He left you a widow,
A dress made of shadow, you can't see through
And while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
You've convinced me he loves you
But he doesn't know you like I do
And I'll bring you treasure,
A love you can measure and I live
With a home on a hillside,
A castle and a grave site you can sleep in
So while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
Well while he's out swimming,
He leaves you drowning in sorrow
Grow old with me
Grow old with me
Grow old with me
Apart lyrics - Damien Jurado
You are what I need
You're everything
To me
Time can't tell us apart

You're everything
To me

Time can't tell us apart
You're everything
To me
Time can't tell us apart
Time can't tell us apart
You are what I need
You're everything
To me
Time can't tell us apart
Time can't tell us apart
Big Decision lyrics - Damien Jurado
Made a big decision
Think I left you out
Made a big decision
Think I left you out
Got a lot of problems

Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out

Made a big decision
Think I left you out
Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out
Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out
Let Down lyrics - Damien Jurado
Here comes a big letdown
It anchors your soul
In sadness
She left you
Standing alone
One more time, he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us?
Not this time
Here comes a big letdown
It anchors your soul
Holding hands
She left you
Holding your own
One more time, he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us?
Not this time
Could you please forgive us?
Not this time
It anchors your soul
In sadness
She left you
Standing alone
One more time, he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us?
Not this time
Here comes a big letdown
It anchors your soul
Holding hands
She left you
Holding your own
One more time, he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us?
Not this time
Could you please forgive us?
Not this time
Black Eyes lyrics - Damien Jurado
I love you
I think that's what she told me
I've run through
And I could want you only
And I could want you only
And if you give me money
It's nothing
She said and then she hit me
I love you
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
And if you give me money
I think that's what she told me
I've run through
And I could want you only
And I could want you only
And if you give me money
It's nothing
She said and then she hit me
I love you
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
And if you give me money
Smith 1972 lyrics - Damien Jurado
I am dead weight, I am no one
You would notice I am a hurricane
I drop houses my breath, my wind
Strong like an oxen chained to a fence
I will not bend, lucky I guess
I will not bend, lucky I guess
You would notice I am a hurricane
I drop houses my breath, my wind
Strong like an oxen chained to a fence
I will not bend, lucky I guess
I will not bend, lucky I guess
Motion Sickness lyrics - Damien Jurado
The ship it will not leave you
The land it makes sure to keep you
And I have no money for my bets
Told you I was with it
You said I should forget it and move on
So I did
Cathy, you feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
Fear it will not leave you
Ghosts intend to keep you
And I have no more candy for the kids
Told you that you'd hate it
But it'd take so much convincing so move on
And you did
Cathy, I feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
Cathy, I feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
The land it makes sure to keep you
And I have no money for my bets
Told you I was with it
You said I should forget it and move on
So I did
Cathy, you feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
Fear it will not leave you
Ghosts intend to keep you
And I have no more candy for the kids
Told you that you'd hate it
But it'd take so much convincing so move on
And you did
Cathy, I feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
Cathy, I feel the movement
Every time I walk into the room
Night Out For The Downer lyrics - Damien Jurado
Shirley, I don't blame you
For not wanting to hang out tonight
I'm all that you accuse me
I'm a sinking ship tied to my lover's waist
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
Shirley, what you're asking
And I'm not sure what you want from me
I can't be all you wish for
I'm a sinking ship tied to my lover's waist
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
For not wanting to hang out tonight
I'm all that you accuse me
I'm a sinking ship tied to my lover's waist
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
Shirley, what you're asking
And I'm not sure what you want from me
I can't be all you wish for
I'm a sinking ship tied to my lover's waist
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
And when I open up
Is when you're closing down
Shirley, why don't we
Prices lyrics - Damien Jurado
I love you, I think that's what she told me
I'm falling and I could want you only
And if you give me money then I could want you always
It's nothing, she said and then she hit me
I love you, sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Oh if you give me more
I'm falling and I could want you only
And if you give me money then I could want you always
It's nothing, she said and then she hit me
I love you, sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Oh if you give me more
Engine Fire lyrics - Damien Jurado
Let's pull I have
Brake failure and a flat tire
No water no power and an engine fire
If I call you can I call you collect
I don't mean to be a bother
To make you upset
50 miles of broken bones
I've got 50 miles of broken hearts
Something tells me that
Home is this way or maybe that way
Here's a road map let's find Nevada
They've got places to stay
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Brake failure and a flat tire
No water no power and an engine fire
If I call you can I call you collect
I don't mean to be a bother
To make you upset
50 miles of broken bones
I've got 50 miles of broken hearts
Something tells me that
Home is this way or maybe that way
Here's a road map let's find Nevada
They've got places to stay
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Busted taillights, no water
Sunburns and an engine fire
Amateur Night lyrics - Damien Jurado
First came the scream and blood on the floor
The alcohol and magazines
In my flashlight you were a star
A razor blade that cuts you clean
Smile for the camera take off that dress
Twenty dollars for a kiss
It's me who made you
It's me who will take you
I am not an evil man
I just have a habit I can't kick
It starts with an urge
And ends with picking up the phone
I ain't finished yet
The alcohol and magazines
In my flashlight you were a star
A razor blade that cuts you clean
Smile for the camera take off that dress
Twenty dollars for a kiss
It's me who made you
It's me who will take you
I am not an evil man
I just have a habit I can't kick
It starts with an urge
And ends with picking up the phone
I ain't finished yet
Omaha lyrics - Damien Jurado
The cowboy of Omaha drives with his three kids
To the house where they live, where you been
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
We've been out driving and seeing the sights
The land of Nebraska is beautiful at night
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
Our car was the ship and daddy the captain
He let us steer and pretend we were driving
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
This country will know me by name
To the house where they live, where you been
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
We've been out driving and seeing the sights
The land of Nebraska is beautiful at night
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
Our car was the ship and daddy the captain
He let us steer and pretend we were driving
This country will know us by name
This country will know us by name
This country will know me by name
Abilene lyrics - Damien Jurado
I fell in love with a girl of nineteen
A black-haired girl I called Abilene
"Young girl, where's your husband?"
"Sadly," she replied, "I do not have one"
"Then it's you I'll marry with your parents' permission"
"No, fine sir, they will not let me marry
For I am a young girl
And you are a man without money"
"Then I'll come by your window
Tonight when they both will be sleeping
"Outside your window
In a carriage, I will be waiting
They'll awake, find you gone,
Rub their eyes, and think they're dreaming"
And never did they think
That their Abilene would leave them
"Now, fine sir, where is it you shall take me?
Is it in the mountains high
Or is it the deep blue sea?"
A black-haired girl I called Abilene
"Young girl, where's your husband?"
"Sadly," she replied, "I do not have one"

"No, fine sir, they will not let me marry

And you are a man without money"
"Then I'll come by your window

"Now, fine sir, where is it you shall take me?
Is it in the mountains high
Or is it the deep blue sea?"
Texas To Ohio lyrics - Damien Jurado
From the window to the doorway
This is the way we planned our escape
Five miles of road, three hours of conversation
My feet and ears could only take so much
From Texas to Ohio is too long a walk
Even if it's with someone you love
Five miles in the walk you already want to do them in
Through the heat and humidity
My mind keeps going back to the first time I met you
How weeks after dating, I could never get a hold of you
"I don't know where she's at
You should try calling back tomorrow"
From the window to the threshold
This is the way we learn from our mistakes
You leave all your friends for someone you think you love
Through the for the better and the worse
My mind keeps going back to the first time I met you
How weeks after dating, I could never get a hold of you
"I don't know where she's at
You should try calling back tomorrow"
This is the way we planned our escape
Five miles of road, three hours of conversation
My feet and ears could only take so much
From Texas to Ohio is too long a walk
Even if it's with someone you love
Five miles in the walk you already want to do them in
Through the heat and humidity
My mind keeps going back to the first time I met you
How weeks after dating, I could never get a hold of you
"I don't know where she's at
You should try calling back tomorrow"
From the window to the threshold
This is the way we learn from our mistakes
You leave all your friends for someone you think you love
Through the for the better and the worse
My mind keeps going back to the first time I met you
How weeks after dating, I could never get a hold of you
"I don't know where she's at
You should try calling back tomorrow"
Window lyrics - Damien Jurado
I am looking at a beautiful window
That window is your eyes
And the only time I saw rainfall
Was the day your mother died
And I am looking at a beautiful rainbow
The rainbow is your smile
Oh, the only time I heard laughter
Was the day I took you as my bride
I am looking at a beautiful window
The window is your eyes
Oh, the only time I saw rainfall
Was the day your mother died
And I am walking with my Savior
My Savior walks with me
Oh, He will guide me up to heaven
Where you & I shall meet
That window is your eyes
And the only time I saw rainfall
Was the day your mother died
And I am looking at a beautiful rainbow
The rainbow is your smile
Oh, the only time I heard laughter
Was the day I took you as my bride
I am looking at a beautiful window
The window is your eyes
Oh, the only time I saw rainfall
Was the day your mother died
And I am walking with my Savior
My Savior walks with me
Oh, He will guide me up to heaven
Where you & I shall meet
I Can't Get Over You lyrics - Damien Jurado
I can't get over
No, I can't get over you
Seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
I have tried sleeping
Just to get over you
And I have tried dreaming
But all of my thoughts were of you
I can't get over
No, I can't get over you
Seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
It seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
No, I can't get over you
No, I can't get over you
Seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
I have tried sleeping
Just to get over you
And I have tried dreaming
But all of my thoughts were of you
I can't get over
No, I can't get over you
Seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
It seems no matter what I do
I can't get over you
No, I can't get over you
Intoxicated Hands lyrics - Damien Jurado
She took advantage of intoxicated hands
And he pretended to be asleep
But underneath the blankets
Their legs linked like a chain
Now come tomorrow morning
How will you explain?
Was it that whiskey talking
Or is it your heart
That made you say I love you to me
As you held me in your arms
And you'll have the explanation
For that, what has come about
I loved you, seven long years
And now, that you found me out
Just get out
I was just like the others
I wanted to be more
Shame it took that whiskey baby
To bring me to your door
You'll have the explanations
For that what has come about
When I loved you seven long years, my boy, and
Now that you found me out
Just get out
And he pretended to be asleep
But underneath the blankets
Their legs linked like a chain
Now come tomorrow morning
How will you explain?
Was it that whiskey talking
Or is it your heart
That made you say I love you to me
As you held me in your arms
And you'll have the explanation
For that, what has come about
I loved you, seven long years
And now, that you found me out
Just get out
I was just like the others
I wanted to be more
Shame it took that whiskey baby
To bring me to your door
You'll have the explanations
For that what has come about
When I loved you seven long years, my boy, and
Now that you found me out
Just get out
Tether lyrics - Damien Jurado
Come, o come
Come away, Heather
Who is the boy
That you keep by your arm?
That drags a cat
Around by a tether
Who is the boy
That you keep by your arm?
I must say
He looks not familiar
Is he a stranger
From some other town?
The townfolks say
He looks quite peculiar
They've never seen
His kind come 'round
Tell me, o tell me
Will he be your husband?
Will you, o will you
Will you be his bride?
Will you stay in the house
And provide him with children?
Are you sure
He will not leave your side?
When tears fill your eyes
Whom shall you run to?
You can run
To the house on the hill
In this house
You will find me standing
By a window
Waiting for you
Come away, Heather
Who is the boy
That you keep by your arm?
That drags a cat
Around by a tether
Who is the boy
That you keep by your arm?
I must say
He looks not familiar
Is he a stranger
From some other town?
The townfolks say
He looks quite peculiar
They've never seen
His kind come 'round
Tell me, o tell me
Will he be your husband?
Will you, o will you
Will you be his bride?
Will you stay in the house
And provide him with children?
Are you sure
He will not leave your side?
When tears fill your eyes
Whom shall you run to?
You can run
To the house on the hill
In this house
You will find me standing
By a window
Waiting for you
Matinee lyrics - Damien Jurado
We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir
We found our way by the usher's light
To the place outside where we parked the bikes
Underneath a neon sign
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
We come down about twice a week
To put our feet on the theater seats
Admission's cheap and the soda's free
Well, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir
O, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir
We found our way by the usher's light
To the place outside where we parked the bikes
Underneath a neon sign
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
We come down about twice a week
To put our feet on the theater seats
Admission's cheap and the soda's free
Well, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
We all cried at the ending
We all stayed for the credits
And I kept my ticket as a souvenir
O, my best friend's girl works the ticket stand
When the boss is gone, she gets us in
We all see a matinee
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
Matinee, hey hey, why go late
When the movies are cheaper during the day
Bad Dreams lyrics - Damien Jurado
I have fell victim to you
Troubles I have seen, many years
From high windows I have called you
So come, save me from this fire
Forget all who hurt you, they don't know you
Come rest your tired body in my arms
From the bedroom I have called you
So come, save me from this fire
And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
So come, save me from this fire
Troubles I have seen, many years
From high windows I have called you
So come, save me from this fire
Forget all who hurt you, they don't know you
Come rest your tired body in my arms
From the bedroom I have called you
So come, save me from this fire
And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
So come, save me from this fire
I Am The Greatest Of All Liars lyrics - Damien Jurado
I'm the suicide with blanks
I am fire in the tank
I'm the dishes in the sink
I'm the silence you can hear
I'm a voice inside your head
I'm a word that's never said
I'm the blood upon your sheets
I'm the air you cannot breathe
I'm the darkness you can see
I'm the pain inside your back
I'm the joke that you don't get
I'm the razor at your neck
I'm the lie that you will tell
I'm the soul that you will sell
I'm the vomit on your sleeve
I'm the reason you all fell
I am fire in the tank
I'm the dishes in the sink
I'm the silence you can hear
I'm a voice inside your head
I'm a word that's never said
I'm the blood upon your sheets
I'm the air you cannot breathe
I'm the darkness you can see
I'm the pain inside your back
I'm the joke that you don't get
I'm the razor at your neck
I'm the lie that you will tell
I'm the soul that you will sell
I'm the vomit on your sleeve
I'm the reason you all fell
Oh Death Art With Me lyrics - Damien Jurado
I was courted by Death today
In an attempt to take my life
He showed up with a nice bouquet
Of flowers for my grave
He said, "Come with me now
And we can take my horse and carriage"
He led me six feet underground
Where the worms will eat my skin
"You will not need your body, son
For, the devil, he just wants your soul
He has had his eyes on you
Since the day you stepped in this world"
I was courted by Death today
In an attempt to take my life
He showed up with a nice bouquet
Of flowers for my grave
He said, "Come with me now
And we can take my horse and carriage"
He led me six feet underground
Where the worms will eat my skin
In an attempt to take my life
He showed up with a nice bouquet
Of flowers for my grave
He said, "Come with me now
And we can take my horse and carriage"
He led me six feet underground
Where the worms will eat my skin
"You will not need your body, son
For, the devil, he just wants your soul
He has had his eyes on you
Since the day you stepped in this world"
I was courted by Death today
In an attempt to take my life
He showed up with a nice bouquet
Of flowers for my grave
He said, "Come with me now
And we can take my horse and carriage"
He led me six feet underground
Where the worms will eat my skin
Big Let Down lyrics - Damien Jurado
Here comes that big let down
It anchors your soul
In sadness she left you
Standing alone
One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time
Here comes that big let down
It anchors your soul
Holding hands she left you
Holding your own
One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time
Can you please forgive us
Not this time
It anchors your soul
In sadness she left you
Standing alone
One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time
Here comes that big let down
It anchors your soul
Holding hands she left you
Holding your own
One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time
Can you please forgive us
Not this time
Now You're Swimming lyrics - Damien Jurado
Now you're swimming
It don't even feel right
You hate your body
You know it shows
They're acting crazy
Out there in the deep end
They're shouting curse words
And acting crazy
You got a cop for a dad
And you don't want any more
Off-duty advice now
You got a saint in the eye
And you don't want any more
Guilt-tripping advice now
We'll figure it out
And they can keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
And now you're painting
And you don't even feel right
You hate the colors
And you know they'll bleed
They're acting foolish
Out there in the darkroom
Rolling quarters
Going wild
You got a cop in your face
And you don't want any more
Time left alone with him
You got a saint for a mom
And you know all the ways out
The back door and on out
They'll figure it out
And then they'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
It don't even feel right
You hate your body
You know it shows
They're acting crazy
Out there in the deep end
They're shouting curse words
And acting crazy
You got a cop for a dad
And you don't want any more
Off-duty advice now
You got a saint in the eye
And you don't want any more
Guilt-tripping advice now
We'll figure it out
And they can keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
And now you're painting
And you don't even feel right
You hate the colors
And you know they'll bleed
They're acting foolish
Out there in the darkroom
Rolling quarters
Going wild
You got a cop in your face
And you don't want any more
Time left alone with him
You got a saint for a mom
And you know all the ways out
The back door and on out
They'll figure it out
And then they'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is your own time
Alone time
We'll figure it out
And then we'll keep you in the dark
Afternoon is the wrong time
Butcher's Boy lyrics - Damien Jurado
(originally by Peggy Seeger)
She went upstairs to make her bed
Not one word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?"
"Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell
That butcher's boy I love so well
He courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay"
"There is a place in London town
Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down
He takes that strange girl on his knee
He tells her things he don't tell me"
Her father he comes home from work
Saying "Where is my daughter, she looks so hurt"
He went upstairs to give her hope
Found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
In her bosom these words were found
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble slab at my head and my feet
And on my stone, place a snow white dove
To warn this world I died for love"
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh Mother me
Oh mother, oh mother
Mother me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
She went upstairs to make her bed
Not one word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?"
"Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell
That butcher's boy I love so well
He courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay"
"There is a place in London town
Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down
He takes that strange girl on his knee
He tells her things he don't tell me"
Her father he comes home from work
Saying "Where is my daughter, she looks so hurt"
He went upstairs to give her hope
Found her hanging from a rope
He took his knife and he cut her down
In her bosom these words were found
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble slab at my head and my feet
And on my stone, place a snow white dove
To warn this world I died for love"
Oh mother, oh mother
Oh Mother me
Oh mother, oh mother
Mother me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Paperwings lyrics - Damien Jurado
Go put on your brand new paper wings
I don't mind, well as long as I can fly
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
Go put on your brand new dancing shoes
I don't mind, well as long as I'm with you
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
Go put on your brand new paper wings
I don't mind, well as long as I can fly
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
I don't mind, well as long as I can fly
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
Go put on your brand new dancing shoes
I don't mind, well as long as I'm with you
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
Go put on your brand new paper wings
I don't mind, well as long as I can fly
Here's a noose for your head
Here's some tape for that broken wing it's sewn
Dancing lyrics - Damien Jurado
Smoke that cigarette and down another drink
Call your other in-crowd friends instead of calling me
And it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down and go dancing
Just sit down
Smoke that cigarette and down another drink on me
Well you've got better things to be done
Than to be seen with me
Well it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down, there's no dancing
Well it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down, there's no dancing
Just sit down
Call your other in-crowd friends instead of calling me
And it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down and go dancing
Just sit down
Smoke that cigarette and down another drink on me
Well you've got better things to be done
Than to be seen with me
Well it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down, there's no dancing
Well it's who's got what and what can I take
Take what you got just try to make a fast break
It's who's got what and what can I take
Well I'll take what you got just try to make a fast break
Just sit down, there's no dancing
Just sit down
Birdcage lyrics - Damien Jurado
Now the sun is coming out
It's better than the rain
I finally wipe away the clouds
Leave me here and
Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right
So much easier to get out
I'm breaking from my cage
Kill the lights and burn it down
Leave the keys and
Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right
It's better than the rain
I finally wipe away the clouds
Leave me here and
Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right
So much easier to get out
I'm breaking from my cage
Kill the lights and burn it down
Leave the keys and
Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right
Inevitable lyrics - Damien Jurado
Open your eyes here comes a bigger part
And seek and define the answers are easy to read
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Open your eyes here comes a bigger part
You seek and define the answers are easy to read
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
And seek and define the answers are easy to read
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Open your eyes here comes a bigger part
You seek and define the answers are easy to read
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Face that inevitable
Air Show Disaster lyrics - Damien Jurado
Listen here, see
I know how to make you famous
Listen to me, I know
They listen to me
'Cause I'm the one who makes them famous
Listen to me, they know
It's another nice day for an air show disaster
Listen here, see
Something that will make you nervous
Listen to me, then go
They listen to me
And I'm the one who makes them famous
Someday you'll see and know
It's another nice day for an air show disaster
Just another nice day for an air show disaster
Just another nice day at an air show disaster
So come on
So come on
So come on
So come on
I know how to make you famous
Listen to me, I know
They listen to me
'Cause I'm the one who makes them famous
Listen to me, they know
It's another nice day for an air show disaster
Listen here, see
Something that will make you nervous
Listen to me, then go
They listen to me
And I'm the one who makes them famous
Someday you'll see and know
It's another nice day for an air show disaster
Just another nice day for an air show disaster
Just another nice day at an air show disaster
So come on
So come on
So come on
So come on
Never Ending Tide lyrics - Damien Jurado
I am standing on her shore
With the anchor and the oars
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
And I'm standing on her shore
With the mermaids and the whores
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move
With the anchor and the oars
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
And I'm standing on her shore
With the mermaids and the whores
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move you like the never ending tide
She's gonna move
Big Deal lyrics - Damien Jurado
It's like I told you
You'll never be as good
And there's someone always better
To take your place
Once you were the first in line
Now you're in the back
Receiving cards and thank you letters
PS please don't come back
It's like I told you
You'll never be as fast
And there's someone always faster
To take your place
Once I told you things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
Once I told you that things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
You'll never be as good
And there's someone always better
To take your place
Once you were the first in line
Now you're in the back
Receiving cards and thank you letters
PS please don't come back
It's like I told you
You'll never be as fast
And there's someone always faster
To take your place
Once I told you things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
Once I told you that things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
The Way You Look lyrics - Damien Jurado
From the ceiling to the floor
I find I'm wanting more
It's so much a part of it
When I drop down from the sky
So much I could find
In a happy house so high above the clouds
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
Breaking hearts, they make no sound
In this I have found an excuse for jealousy
Kill the sun and make them blind
So much they will find
In a happy house so high above the clouds
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
I find I'm wanting more
It's so much a part of it
When I drop down from the sky
So much I could find
In a happy house so high above the clouds
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
Breaking hearts, they make no sound
In this I have found an excuse for jealousy
Kill the sun and make them blind
So much they will find
In a happy house so high above the clouds
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
It's not the way that you look, no
It all depends how you feel
It's just the way that it is
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
I wanna be you
Castles lyrics - Damien Jurado
Castles that you're building
Eventually come falling down
Castles that you're building
Eventually come falling down
I will try to erase it all
From my mind, it's easy
It's easy
People who you talk about
Eventually will find you out
People who you talk about
Eventually will hunt you down
I will try to erase it all
From my mind, it's easy
It's easy
Eventually come falling down
Castles that you're building
Eventually come falling down
I will try to erase it all
From my mind, it's easy
It's easy
People who you talk about
Eventually will find you out
People who you talk about
Eventually will hunt you down
I will try to erase it all
From my mind, it's easy
It's easy
Like Titanic lyrics - Damien Jurado
There's a place where Jean and I go
To escape this dull existence
We go dancing and we set fires and
We tell secrets and tell them lies
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
Me and Jeanie, we get drunk and we
Take her dad's car for a ride and
Pockets empty, we have no money
For tobacco or the movies
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
Some say Jeanie, she's my downfall
With the pills and alcohol
She can sink me like Titanic, and
Make my blood spill to her shores
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
Some say boredom, it's a killer, you
End up breaking hearts like chairs
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
To escape this dull existence
We go dancing and we set fires and
We tell secrets and tell them lies
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
Me and Jeanie, we get drunk and we
Take her dad's car for a ride and
Pockets empty, we have no money
For tobacco or the movies
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
Some say Jeanie, she's my downfall
With the pills and alcohol
She can sink me like Titanic, and
Make my blood spill to her shores
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
Some say boredom, it's a killer, you
End up breaking hearts like chairs
I have many questions
Places I keep going
I don't know the meaning of "no trespassing"
I have many problems
Fears I can't ignore
I don't know the meaning of "self destruction"
