Back Seat Magdalene A drive-in church, swinging lanterns in the trees A night with my back seat Magdalene The prying jackdaw's an angel in disguise Communion to the dawn, to the dawn... You light a match, the fire flickers in the breeze Soon dies out to a stream of smoke Follow the smoke, let it take you in its arms It takes us far, too far away, far away... Your dirty hair's just a veil of memories From blooming hills (they smell of oil) We lay outside with the horses and the bees You're sound asleep, I'm wide awake, wide awake... We write our names in the sand on a beach The waves file them to the sea Once we're listed in those salty archives Our names are free, and so are we, so are we... We lay outside with the horses and the bees You're sound asleep, I'm wide awake, wide awake...

Primrose Trail I read from a lamp post sign that The end will be here so soon Hey, son, never mind the pain You know pleasure is on its way I walked on to the town where the stars are but neon lights Found a foxhole down the street A foul suite with dirty sheets I laid down waiting for the boom With a cheap girl in cheap perfume Through the thunder and rain Intoxicated by champagne The blinking vacancy sign turns Your skin from red to green Your eyes a blue million miles False names but real goodbyes Your hair spread all around, Restraining the winds of strife Tell me if you see the signs Tell me if I still have time I laid down...

Dusk in Suburbia Did you wait by the rusty car Motor running and the cigaret lights A pretty girl in a mandrake dress Slammed the door on your Fingers on your way off Did you hear about the ghost in the woods Behind the broke down summer homes It stole a flower from a damsel's hair And her skin was covered in blisters ever since The night is born from clay and tears Neon lights and whispered cheers, and I don't know where it's taking me I don't know where it leads Me, from behind the smokestacks, into the lights Did you sleep on the painted pew Past the sermon and communion Red light in the lead glass panes As dusk sneaks in the drunken suburbia The night...

Shine 04:07
Shine From the mellow moors You're the smoke from the leaves You come around And you make me want more You make me want more Across the easy streets You're the fight in the bar You move around And I want to follow, I want to follow you Past the humming mills You're the harvest time When you arrive I want to be there, I want to be there On the foggy shore You're the light for the lost When you shine I'm in the light, I'm in the light

Turnpike Star Moved in a cold motel known as the Turnpike Star That's me on the porch in a rockin' chair A shot through mail box, post cards from afar Wedding invitations, but I don't have a car Forgotten dogs howl in chains in the dark Behind the closed billiard halls They've barked for ages, as long as I recall Their voices echo down the jagged streets The earth revolves around its void machinery Your kiss a door to wonderland A paperback bible, on the old night stand A bottle of bourbon and the sound of you asleep By moated ashtrays and meadows in moonshine We stray across the universe Your dress is beautiful and so are you But you're unreachable, I think I'm too

Storm Cones 04:25
Storm Cones Stay awake, don't fall asleep Dreams may catch you away Stay with me, it's cold outside The drifts of snow are unknown Stray dogs, unfinished games Grey ghosts in picture frames Long candles set aflame Until you're one and the same Storm cones cracking in the wind Your hair spread all around Count the holes in these house walls And dust will cover our years Stray dogs...
