BANDITS
They'll take all that you have
They'll hollow out your eyes
Steal every thought, every memory's reprise
And once you think they're through
you're left without a soul
Not even the devil could've bought it now its sold
Oh, Bandits
Oh, Bandits
Oh, Bandits
Oh
God's gift to the Earth
I know that much ain't true
Mirrors only show that which alligns with woolen view
I'd strip that wool right back
If I had the chance
Unfortunately bandits slip away when you advance
Oh, Bandits
Oh, Bandits
Oh, Bandits
They'll take all that you have
They'll hollow out your eyes
Steal every thought, every memory's reprise
They'll take all that you have
You'll pray and beg you'll die
Steal every thought
It's time to say goodbye
YELLOWBOY
With his yellowboy he stands still in his shoes
And the look in his eye would frighten even you
Oh he's got no dirt up on his boots
Oh no
With one swift move he had his hand upon the bar
Nods to a girl lookin into his eyes from far
Through the crowds of nobodies who want his
Heart
​
Will you stare into the light?
Will you face him, fail as you might?
Will you stare into the light?
Will you face him, fail as you might?
​
With fearless hands he swings your girl upon his hip
Juxtaposing the loaded yellowboy that's in his grip
Surely you won't take this shit?
(oh no he won't)
With one swift move you check for bullets in your colt
His mates block the exit so you've got nowhere to bolt
Through the crowds of nobodies, you want his
Heart
​
Will you stare into the light?
Will you face him, fail as you might?
Will you stare into the light?
Will you face him, fail as you might?
Will you grace his friends with your fight?
Will he face you, now he's alone tonight?
Will you grace his friends with your fight?
Will he face you, now he's alone tonight?
With his yellowboy his eyes are darting round the room
See when he's alone he tends to stop and change his tune
With his friends no more he don't what else he could do
So he cowers down low, offers his yellowboy to you
CIRCADIAN RHYTHM
SUN SONG
HALFWAY DEAD
MORNING
RATTLESNAKE
1967 CHEVY
Mirrorless, he starts to peel
As he starts to feel what he ain't wanna feel and
His lift is here, there's venom in his bones
His lift is here and he's sinking like a stone
​
Ground moved faster than he ever could
Brain full of tears, his eyes were no good and
Shadows long, his tether's cut
Shadows long, he keeps his ego shut
​
Rattlesnake is almost home
All he wants is to be alone and
His tail shook, well maybe now they'll know
His tail shook put his heart on show
​
Rattlesnake is almost home
All he wants is to be alone and
His tail shook, well maybe now they'll know
His tail shook put his heart on show
​
Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake, Rattlesnake
​
Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake
Meet me in the morning
56th and Wabasha
Meet me in the morning
56th and Wabasha
Honey, we could be in Kansas
By time the snow begins to thaw
Say the darkest hour
Is right before the dawn
They say the darkest hour
Is right before the dawn
But you wouldn't know it by me
Every day's been darkness since you been gone
Well I believe
Yeah I believe a change sure is gonna come
I said I believe
I believe a change is gonna come
Honey, we could be in Kansas
When this change is gonna come
Well, I struggled through barbed wire
Felt the hail fall from above
Well, I struggled through barbed wire
Felt the hail fall from above
Well, you know I outran the hound dogs
Honey, you know I've earned your love
Look at the sun
Sinkin' like a ship
Look at the sun
Sinkin' like a ship
Ain't that just like my heart, babe
When you kissed my lips?
He drove softly
As he knew the cat's eyes would be cruel
If virtuosity did not help him gently
In the face of discourse
Forcefully fleeing the scene
An escape hidden by gentle swerves
Cracked hands gripped the wheel
To control four more
Four horses working in unison
carrying the weight of a running man
They passed day and night
Blood and breath
Sun and moon
Life and death
No rest would come soon
What deed was done was done forever
And so he drove softly
Carrying the weight of a running man
Four horses working in unison
carrying the weight of a running man
He said "Face me to the west"
"Where the sun will be impressed"
He swears his fate it will decide
But his face says otherwise
But his face says otherwise
The train is here but he's got heavy boots
The idle hands of his forgotten youth
Will he face his former lives?
Could he get out of there alive?
Out of there alive
Alive
He said "Take me to the west"
"I can't escape my final breath"
He swears the sun, it never lies
Yet the sun, it took his eyes
The Americans are stealing my fate
And time's arrow, it won't go away
From every point of view
I'm trapped on this stage
From every point of view
There's a bird in my cage
Conversation 'bout the meaning of death
Flirtation with the days I have left
From every point of view
I'm out of my head
From every point of view
I'm halfway dead
