Sevilla 03:36
The archers in Sevilla They're so masculine, but me I'm A "poor" boy from the suburbs Who's just looking for his mother & they're standing at their tower With their arrows full of power aimed at me They're standing, aimed at me The orchestra is playing But I can't hear what they're saying It's an old Indian folk song & you, with all your clothes on & your purple-spotted dresses & the cross around your necklace you hang for me The cross, for me The wine has all been taken To that corner house in Spain & They're fighting for attention Each bowing at your mention Of the hands that needed holding Were growing, oh, so boring, so you came across the sea Took a plane & came across the sea The foxes are still lurking Around the vineyard, which is burning & Sevilla's sky is screaming For someone to stop her bleeding But we're staring into mirrors It's so smokey, but it's clear we can't breathe It's clear we can't breathe This house, it once was taller But now you pay more, & now it's smaller It fits just the two of ya But now this place is through wit ya See, you had your chance now beat it & admit you are defeated, just like me

Long Walk 02:44
I take pills to calm my chills I take tequila, so I can feel I take poison to stop the voices I take long walks down the road I keep a shovel to dig my trouble I keep a knife to fend my life I keep a light always in my sight I keep a long walk down the road I got a key so I feel free I got a car to drive real far I got a map, but it's a trap I got a long walk down the road I fear sleep, it's dirt cheap I fear death with every breath I fear the Bible, it's my rival I fear my long walk down the road

Well, I've never had much money My fortune's quite a joke & I'll be losing more with every cigarette I smoke But, I won't need to worry The world will know my name As for now I'll use this bottle as a prize of fame For years, I've scribbled notes out in the sand Nothing's ever come of it, except friends to shake my hand But, I won't even worry I will play the game As for now I'll use this bottle as a prize of fame I don't need rewards When I got this glass of wine I don't need rewards That says I'm doing fine I always stay indoors There's no one to blame So, as for now I'll keep this bottle as a prize of fame I'm no one's sugar daddy & I never will Every check I get, I gotta pay another bill But, I won't need to worry I will find a dame As for now I'll keep this bottle as a prize of fame

Maria 03:37
I once had a love, who's name was Maria But, my love, she was insane For she looked into my eyes & I saw no trace of fear 'Twas the downfall of her game But I played it cool, I reeled her in & called out Maria & she fell down at my feet We lived like we were king & Queen Our audience, they would cheer Out names were painted on the street She'd send me letters all day long As if her heart were on a string & I'd toss them in the flame For she wanted to mend out love Into one being But my heart it won't stay tame So, please heed these ten words: "Get back from me, Maria! For my love is Cyanide." But, I'll drink my fill, myself, my "love" & wait for death to near In small hours of the night

I've got this awful feeling I won't see passed 45 Late night, find my mind reeling Will I grow to see my kids "alive" "I wish you wouldn't speak so morbidly" my girl says through her tears "Don't talk that way, you'll make it true" But, deep down, I know that too Something's changed inside of me I feel so very dark Love I no longer see It seems my mind's had a change of heart Sometimes I get so down On nice days such as these First I smile, then I frown Can't put my mind at ease "Come on back, you've been gone for days" I hear through the telephone "Just one more round, I promise, babe" But we both know, I ain't coming home Something's changed inside of me I feel so very dark Love I no longer see It seems my mind's had a change of heart I've got this awful feeling

The Loon 02:38
Bus driver please If you're going up this way I need a break from this city life I need a house upon a lake I'll sit there on the dock Morning, night, or noon Listen to that beaver build his house or hear the Loon Oh, that Loon sounds so nice Singing all alone in the water, in the sky Oh, that Loon with all its white & speckled bits of darkness & its gleaming, bloodshot eyes Sing for me Moan your tune Wake me when it's morning Or scream unto the moon My life is one the line Leader's on my lure I'll catch a pike & I'll eat him too But I swear my heart is pure Oh, that Loon sounds so nice Singing all alone in the water, in the sky Oh, that Loon with all its white & speckled bits of darkness & its gleaming, bloodshot eyes Sing for me Moan your tune Wake me when it's morning Or scream unto the moon

Day/Night 02:59
You call me insane Though, you never knew why You call me psycho You never did cry You call me names for the last time Don't call me again I'll just choke up and die Your hair was golden On the day that we met Your eyes, the sunrise Your smile, the sunset Now your hair has darkened So deep, so red For now it's just memories I'll have to forget Turn the lights down lower I can't see the stars My eyes are blurry From the drinks in the bars & I'll always wonder Just where you are I can't seem to call you You're mighty too far
