Thrill
02:33
|
|||
|
While you were sleeping
I smoked a whole pack of cigarettes
And I
Can't seem to find
The gold in the mine
Is how I spend my days
While you were dreaming
I drank a whole fifth of Seagrams
And it ain't even the weekend
Watch it all go up in flames
Tell me, do
Do I still?
Give you a thrill?
Tell me, do
Do I still?
Give you a thrill?
Like wildflowers glowin' in the dark
Right in your heart
Tell me, do
Do I still?
Give you a thrill?
Tell me, do
Do I still?
Give you a thrill?

Well darlin'
You know how hard I've fallen for you
Yeah, I don't care if your mind is gone
You're the only one I want
Yeah, darlin'
I've been dreaming of you
I last saw you yesterday
All those thoughts won't go away, no
Darlin'
Could you live without me?
I don't think I could do that too
I'd be so lost without you
Yeah, darlin' it's so fun being with you
We're trippin' in the ocean waves
Makin' all the mean mistakes
Fightin' off those big old shakes for days
Now we're technicolor and neon-green
The most beautiful pair on the scene
You never keep your jean jacket clean, oh no
And we're cool as fuck and we have tattoos
And we drink beer and we smoke weed, too
And we hang out at the Vaudeville Mews, oh yeah
And when you're freakin' out, I hold you tight
And tell you it will be alright
Oh the two of us, we're out of sight, oh yeah
Darlin'
You know how hard I've fallen for you
Darlin'
You know how hard I've fallen for you
We're trippin' in the ocean waves
Makin' all the big mistakes
Fightin' off those mean old shakes for days
And when you're freakin' out, I hold you tight
And tell you it will be alright
Yeah, the two of us
We're out of sight, oh yeah

Silver Moon Starlet

You wanna die for me, baby?
Let me see it right now
Yeah, you make me go crazy
And there ain't no way out
You were a Silver Moon Starlet
Dancing in the glow
Of your lover's black shadow
Oh babe, who could want more?
Yeah, you're evil girl, I love you
And I put no one above
Yeah, I've been dying just to hold you
It's a rush, such a crush
You were a '68 Chevy
Dancin' in the glow
Of your cigarette lighter
Oh lover, who could want more?
Now babe I'm standin' at the edge
Won't you push me off?
Of that psychedelic cliff
Make my heart just stop
You were a chrome-tounged goddess
Dancin' in the glow
Of your lover's black shadow
Oh darlin', who could want more?

Radio Waves
02:24
|
|||
|
I was listening to radio waves
You were driving over to my place
We were making some sweet mistakes
You're gonna love me, don't care how long it takes
But it's never again for me
We filled out iron-lungs right in the dark
Over your brother's shoulder, he was a narc
You were the best thing that ever happened to me
This time we're gonna get it all right, you'll see
But it's never again for me

From Now On
03:07
|
|||
|
Well, from now on
This is how it's gonna be
You gonna stay the hell, the hell away from me
'Cause too much changed
It ain't too strange to see
You gonna stay the hell, the hell away from me
'Cause it's a lonely broken heart
On a Sunday afternoon, when you were with me
She calls me up
About once a week
No, she don't want me back
She just wants to hear me speak
So I say to her
Like I've said before
"I'm so lonely babe, but I don't want you no more."
Then she'll freak out
Have one of her fits
Kickin' the habit ain't hard, woman if you're willing to quit
'Cause it's a lonely broken heart
On a Sunday afternoon, when you were with me
Well, from now on
This is how it's gonna be
You gonna stay the hell, the hell away from me
'Cause too much changed
It ain't so strange to see
You gonna stay the hell, the hell away from me
'Cause it's a lonely broken heart
On a Sunday afternoon, when you were with me

Northern Slope
03:54
|
|||
|
You woke up
A long time ago
With crystal ships
And Spanish trips
You made your way towards Mexico
And you found
A señorita
With long black hair
Ain't no money to spare
Both hooked on tequila
And you drove
Up the Western Coast
Just blowin' clouds in the sun so loud
She was the one that you loved the most
And you built
Yourselves a home
Just growin' dope on the Northern slope
With a couple of kids
Livin' on your own
And you were happy
For the first time in your life
Just relax in the shade
Ain't gotta pass the grade
Makin' love to a beautiful wife
Well, and then
The years passed by
In the blink of an eye you were no longer young
Tired and weak, too old for fun
And then she died
Holdin' your hand
Starin' at the sunset
Her feet in sand
A life to live
Would never live again
Then you passed away
And man, you were sure
Because you always swore if she goes first
You would run right after her

Oh, California

Oh, California
Won't you show me where the money's gone?
I've got a pretty girl
One I really like a lot
She is the one
Who makes it all feel better
And the numbers they come in shapes and patterns
I'm freaking out, my brain is scattered now, babe
For a couple of days
And I don't think that these pills are workin'
I'm all washed up and it's not worth it now, babe
For a couple of days
Oh, California
Won't you show me where the money's gone?
I've got a pretty girl
One I really like a lot
She is the one
Who makes it all feel better

1968
03:16
|

It was 1968 my love
You were learning how to rush the blood
Your mother cried
When you went away
It was eyeliner
And cigarettes
And boys
And pills
You headed West
It ain't easy
Livin' in the desert, babe
Well, one of these days
I'll stop actin so strange
One of these days
I think things are gonna change
One of these days
All them bastards will know my name
Not right now
You were dancin' in the moon-lit crowd
Your heart makes a beat
Like the leaves it the ground
It ain't easy, babe
Makin' time for this
Well then you wanted out
And I did too
So I took it all away from you
Have your way
In the desert, babe
Yeah, one of these days
I think things are gonna change
One of these days
I'll stop acting so strange
One of these days
All you bastards will know my name
Not right now
Not right now

Your Name
02:24
|
|||
|
I've been dreaming of the West Coast
A little acid and some waves
What started as a couple tabs
Has you freaking out for days
And it's working now, babe
I can't remember your name
Yeah, they're drinkin' in the crowd tonight
And I want to jump right in
A couple more chords and I'll confess all my sins
They're all yellin' your name
They're all screamin' your name
Mother Mary looked at me
And cursed me for being young
Staring in her eyes
Was like staring at the sun
She said, "I'll never forget your name,"
"I'll always remember your name."
If I'm the man you want
Then you must not want too much
I know that it's been tough
You've put up with years of my stuff
I'll always love your name
I'll always love your name

Babes Are Wet
03:19
|
|||
|
I remember those waves
Campin' out at the KOA
Drinkin' Miller champagne
Messed up stayin' high for days
Hear the radio play
"Dead Flowers", I wish you would stay
But you ain't ever stay too long
A kiss goodbye and you're movin' on
That's why I'm livin' here
Been that way for a couple of years
I got a dog and I got some juice
A deck full of smokes
And a rack full of tunes
I'm gonna just cut up
And just cut loose
I ain't ever want to be reminded of you
Yeah you, hear me dreamin' out loud
Puffin' tough on a hundred of clouds
And I wanna do it again
Bring it all back home
The babes are wet
They're dancin' in the sun
With their bleach-blonde hair
It's so fun to be young
