Reckless 04:34
lyrics
buy track
I can hear the river burning I can feel the mountains beating down on me Oh but I cannot see You can be whatever you wanna Just as long as you don’t wanna be like me Oh but I cannot see Rode hard and put away wet and Joined the fight with reckless abandon Cocaine, weed, and amphetamine Old scars and faded saddles My God, those miles you’ve traveled Oh I cannot see Oh I cannot see Oh I cannot see how you fooled me Three’s a crowd but two is plenty Got a life to live outside your sheets Oh but I cannot see Your hands are slight and your mirror’s smoking Briefly gone, but someone’s taken your seat Oh but I cannot see Rode hard and put away wet and Joined the fight with reckless abandon Cocaine, weed, and amphetamine Old scars and faded saddles My God, those miles you’ve traveled Oh I cannot see Oh I cannot see Oh I cannot see how you fooled me

Try To Take It Easy 04:40
lyrics
buy track
So pretty with your hair down falling on your shoulders but you’re mad at me Can’t seem to find the reason nor the time to be the lover that you want me to be I’ve seen that film, I know how it ends For all my wishing and hoping I wont believe in it again The nights get longer but we’ll stay the same Can’t seem to share a single moment but we’ll always share the blame I’ve had that sweet, I know how it tastes I dream about you leaving and I’m waking with a smile up on my face I try to take it easy I try to take it slow I know you’re tryna leave me But honey I just can’t cope Does my talkin make your blood boil baby when you hear me on the telephone? Does the pressure of my palms make you moan like the drone of the dial tone? I made that call, my dimes are all spent Now I’m pissin in the wind, goin out on a limb, with a shit eating grin I try to take it easy I try to take it slow I know you’re tryna leave me But honey I just can’t cope I try to take it easy I try to take it slow I know you’re tryna leave me But honey I just can’t cope

I'll Be Your Mellow Man, Darling 03:14
lyrics

I’ll be your mellow man Have yourself some kicks for free on me darlin Try to imagine that Only you can see me for me darlin’ Make your love til my legs get kinks Don’t give a damn what the landlord thinks Eat sitting naked on the window sill Got all the time in the world to fill Be those people that we wanna be Hold each other close while we run the scene Stone cold killer you’re free at last Make a good living at livin’ fast I’ll be your dive bombin’ palm greasin’ cloud walker Be your big spoon your tiny bird your sugar talker I’ll be your sly dog your bullwhip your man on the moon I’ll be your cowboy your James Dean your old tattoo I’ll be your mellow man Have yourself some kicks for free on me darlin’ Try to imagine that Only you can see me for me darlin’

Birds of a Feather, Nevermore 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Lola, I thought you’d know by now I ain’t got nothing left for the taking Oh, take a breath and recognize The dying gasp of a land forsaken We can return to the night Birds of a feather, nevermore Oh I love this town I do Often times I hate it too See my breath freeze in the morning air See them ghost stories turn true They haunt me through the night Birds of a feather, nevermore Lola, I thought you’d know by now I was never one to be trifled Those claws, those teeth, that bitter glare An evil nature that can’t be stifled Please return to the night We’re birds of a feather, nevermore

The Sad Man 03:06
lyrics
buy track
The morning sun heats up The city smells just like gasoline and cigarettes One by one no smiles The people pass by like rows of toy soldiers Old news open wounds Eatin out my hand like a one trick pony Put me wise put me down Gun to my nose like a wolf in sheep’s clothing Too many mornings I I had to shake off the feeling that all I am Is a grain of sand in your shoes Oh well, oh well, might as well try my best Not to get too worked up honey Oh I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man No stars night sky Aint nothin change like a poor man’s weather Epic love sailed ships Whispered winds lie like a pack of sleeping dogs Too many mornings I I had to bend over backwards to stand up tall Only to fall, on my face Oh well, oh well, might as well try my best Not to get too worked up honey Oh I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man, I’m a sad man
