Virgil Spencer's got a 19 inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
Something that he picked up from the King

His wife remembers well the man she knew
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
She's wasted here
No time for tears

But there's another chance that someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for the promised land
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham

It's 3 AM and Virgil's passed out on the sofa
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
She's packed a bag, she slips the keys out of his pocket
She's careful not to slam the door

And as she drives she rubs a rosary
She's never been so all alone, but never felt so free
She's got miles to go
Blind faith and hope

Cause there's another chance that someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for the promised land
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham...

The Day You Died By John Carter

There's a cry for help in silence
A sorry state of madness that we're in
Another victim of our social violence
To treat someone like this should be a sin

Your taunts are like blades
And they always hit their mark
Your words so carefully weighed
Each one a stab through the heart

But the answer that you get
Is not enough to satisfy
The tears don't seem so wet
When they're yours instead of mine

You can't take what you give
But that doesn't mean you'll stop
You need my fear to live
And to feed your hatred crop

If I don't give you what you want
You'll starve yourself inside
And maybe your last thought
Will be about the day you died...

Loving You By John Carter

When I didn't know you
I know I loved you still
The thought of loving you
Is still my greatest thrill

From making love out of nothing
To making love on the sand
And riding on the beach
With the world in our hands

When I didn't know you
I know I loved you still
The thought of losing you
Could crush my very will

From making a new life
To breaking all our bonds
We share a common soul
When you call, my heart responds

I know you had to leave
We didn't want it to be that way
But soon we'll be together
And move on toward a brighter day...

No more blame am I destined to keep you sane?
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side

The world has forsaken my girl
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose

She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know

No more shame, she has felt too much pain in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you

I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone close to you
You know what it feels like to lose

She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know

She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know

Falling

F-F-F-Falling...

I don't go to school every monday
I've got my reason to sleep
Don't you tell me how I should be

I made up my mind about the music
I made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
but I keep

F-F-F-Falling
Down with the sun
I can't get it on
the night is calling me like a drum
Keep on F-F-F-Falling...

This life is so full of temptation
And I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game

I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know I'm stable and able to hold on

F-F-F-Falling
Down with the sun
I can't get it on
The night is calling me like a drum
Keep on F-F-F-Falling...

I need a flame I need a spark
Don't be afraid to open my heart
I need a game I need a shock
Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked

F-F-F-Falling...

Pretty When You Cry

You're made of my rib, or baby
You're made of my sin
And I can tell where your lust ends
And where your love begins

I didn't want to hurt you, baby
I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to hurt you
But you're pretty when you cry

And the moon gives me permission
And I enter through her eyes
She's losing her virginity
And all her will to compromise

I didn't want to hurt you, baby
I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to hurt you
But you're pretty when you cry

I didn't want to fuck you, baby
I didn't want to fuck you
I didn't want to fuck you
But you're pretty when you're mine

I didn't really love you, baby
I didn't really love you
I didn't really love you
But I'm pretty when I lie

You hurt me baby, I hurt you baby

If you knew how much I love you,
You would run away
But when I treat you bad
It always makes you want to stay

I didn't want to hurt you baby
I didn't want to hurt you baby
How can you do this to me now?

In The Shadows

No sleep,
No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop,
Won't stop before I find the cure for this cancer

Sometimes
I feel like going down, I'm so disconnected
Somehow
I know that I am haunted to be wanted

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

They say
That I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I,
I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave

Sometimes
I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow
I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

Lately, I've been walking, walking in circles
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me
Come take me higher

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

I've been watching,
I've been waiting,
I've been searching,
I've been living,
For tomorrows....

In the shadows....

In the shadows.....

I've been waiting.....

Dream By John Carter

You wake up
Drenched in sweat

You wonder if
It's over yet

The dream you dreamt
So vividly

Is gone away
And lividly

You wish you'd never
Been given a way

To dream, yet live
Another day...

Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hands

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep

Moonlight spills on comic books

And superstars in magazines

An old friend calls and tells us where to meet

Her plane takes off from Baltimore

And touches down on Bourbon Street

We sit outside and argue all night long

About a God we've never seen

But never fails to side with me

Sunday comes and all the papers say

Ma Theresa's joined the mob

And happy with her full time job

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?

Does summer come for everyone?

Can humans do what prophets say?

And if I die before I learn to speak

Can money pay for all the days

I lived awake

But half asleep?

A life is time, they teach you growing up

The seconds ticking killed us all

A million years before the fall

You ride the waves but don't ask where they go

You swim like lions through the crest

And bathe yourself in zebra flesh...

Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, and so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am...

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am...

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Like hope
Dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

No Apologies By John Carter

I'll write you no apologies
And I'll show no regret
For anything I've ever done
And everything I've said

I'll confess no wrongs
Only triumph in my right
I'd never change a thing
Or I might not be here tonight

With you
Standing in the dark
With You
Together, yet apart

Waiting for a moment
Like I hear about in songs
Finally you kiss me
And it lasts the whole night long

I'll write you no apologies
And I'll show no regret
For anything I've ever done
And everything I've said...

Like The Rain

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you

I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light and I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
And when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain

Like the rain
I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you
I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain

When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see
That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling

Like the rain
I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you,
I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain I have fallen for you
I'm falling for you know just like the rain

And when the night falls on our better days
And we're looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye of the storms that will be calling
Forever we'll be falling

Like the rain
I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you,
I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you,
I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you,
I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain

She Will Be Loved

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye...
