We both came in on the midnight train
Walked through the settling steam
Each found our way through town
With a bag full of dreams
Waiting for someone to want us
Spend the night talking side by side
Holding hands and eye to eye
Chorus:
On our borderline raids
You helped me bury my ghosts
Here is to your good looks and health
Here’s another toast
I never confessed to God
What I couldn’t tell myself
So how could I have told to you
And how could I have been blessed
Somehow we knew we’d never meet again
Unspoiled and young
couragous in the hot summer rain
(chorus)
You’re always forgiven
And always missed
And the things I was so close to tell you
For soome reeason could’t slip my lips
You had allready seen through the walls
I built around me to protect you
From whatever couldn’t last
(chorus)
Nothing, nothing, nothing
Will last forever
Baby, it's like that
But those ghosts sure come back
Here on the bridge at midnight
As I stand
And i try
To leave those memories far behind

We were both beat and battered
From lovers lost the night we met
Two wrongs made it home allright
Took each other to the top
Hoping we wouldn’t drop
And even sweet thoughts
Of your tender touch
Even your soft words spoken
Won´t ease the fire in my soul
Or stitch together what was broken
We´ve danced to our song
For the last time forever
We´ve fallen asleep
For the last time together
We´ll never wake up side by side again
We´ll never have each other
To mend each others pain
Sometimes two broken hearts make one
To see if they could stand the test of time
Things may seem all right for a while
But they won´t last that extra mile
We said our goodbyes
On a Valentines Day
Cause we were in it for the rush
We were found and we were lost
Found a reason not to trust
We´ve danced to our song
For the last time forever
We´ve fallen asleep
For the last time together
We´ll never wake up side by side again
We´ll never have each other
To mend each other’s pain
Coming out bleeding
Fallen angels
Coming out retreating
Fallen angels
Coming out as demon
Lost and unbelieving
Fallen angels

Baby I ain’t no hero
I’m just a man
Maybe my dream’s a joke
A blind mans bluff
What can I do?
Our tears a falling
Outta this world
My body shatters
As I’m trying to get cross
This dirty floor
In a land where heroes roam
In a place where dreams come true
And love ain’t just a lie
I lie next to you
Bones you buried
Dragging you down
Crosses you carry
Bloody filthy thorny crowns
Better not forget
Don’t You regret
Mistakes you made
It’s all you have left
In a land where heroes roam
In a place where dreams come true
And love ain’t just a lie
I lie next to you
Every moment counts
Every failure bounds
Every face you see
Looks just like me
You’re 23
You’re the bird I’m the bee
I’m so lonesome, and you’re free
Now leave, if you agree…
In a land where heroes roam
In a place where dreams come true
And love ain’t just a lie
I lie next to you

Romantic Desires

Sailing the lake on a saturday night
Carnival lights,
A soft summers breeze
Local soul sweatin´ out their hearts
On the show boats deck
Dancing so tight so slow
Inside I´m caught
In a thunder storm
I´m doing a lone
High wire act
Devils wishes in my corner
Tonight that´s all
I know for a fact
In the summer we went swimming In the lakes at night
Watching bright city lights
Drinking warm beer
My crazy bones woke at dawn
And I was all ready gone
From her window I heard a sound
Saw the lights being turned right on
Saw her walk in the room
Saw her stare at the moon
Setting my inside on fire (already)
Missing her kiss and
Missed her just by a second
I´m tearing me loose
From my underground river
Of lonely, ferocious
Romantic desires
Lets say i needed some time Ssome time on my own
What’s time to a stone
A switch of the dial
Waiting a little
Just wait for a while
For that taxi drive
Standing alone at somecrossroads
Staring up at her window
She stares in to the night

Baby, Testify Tonight
03:48

Tonight its cold outside
I got an open window somewhere
Somewhere there’s a leak
But our veins are burning
From empty stores to lonely streets
They´re nothing but empty
Like that faded old memory
Of our long lost summer romance
- but we took that chance
You say there is nothing left
Don’t wanna see me again, all right
Baby I´ll plead no contest
Though I can’t tell just how you feel
That’s how I feel myself
You needed so much more
And I cant figure out
Why you`re sitting on my couch
Oh Lord, judge come anyone
Somebody tell it all
Baby testify tonight
Baby pray it’s all right
Of all the loves I’ve watched go bad
Nobody hurt just like this
Loneliness can be your worst companion
If anyone can tell the truth
Come tell it all I’m listening
But I cant do much more
Cause I am just a man
But I took that chance
On nights like this
I pray that I will never see you again
But then I see your face and take it all back
Your heart’s a stone I carved myself
I never needed no help
Never needed no one
Never needed a hand
But we took the chance
Oh Lord, judge come anyone
Somebody tell it all
Baby testify tonight
Baby pray it’s all right

Diamond Hard Eyes

Daddy used to spend his Sundays at the racetrack
While mama and me bowed our heads in church
Now I know prayin´ never got me anythin´
God knows that I asked for so many things
The washed out memories beneath the surface
The truth is so much harder to remember
And the lies – the lies we know by heart
You can’t un-learn the things you learn right from the start
Words or nights or steel
Is anything for real?
I will cry but I wont kneel
I want truths and not just sighs
Ah you devil you, with diamond hard eyes
I´ve let gold slip through these dirty hands
Trying to hold on to the rain
Hoping it would turn into wine
That somehow, someway I could make you mine
Everybody need something to make sense from – and some assistance
Something to keep the beast at distance
So I chose to believe you ment no harm (so I believe that you never ment no harm)
But I ain´t dying in your burning arms
Words or nights or steel…
Cars with blacked out windows, seems there´s noone at the wheel
Seems like I’m the only one alive
Knowing me I’ll start to feel for you
As I cant have you, I start to feel what’s true
off down the dirt road
Abandoned racetrack
Where daddy stood so recklessly poetic
I sit whispering reckless poetry
Bout you and me…

Hey pretty, pretty baby
What’s going on
Hey pretty, pretty baby
What seemed so strong went wrong it’s gone
And live drags on
And Jupiter and mars and fire in the skies
Reminds me of 4th of july
Hey pretty pretty baby (Hey pretty pretty baby)
I’ve been told
Hey pretty pretty baby (Hey pretty pretty baby)
That Its cold in such a restless soul and
Jupiter and mars and fire in the skies with stars
Memories of the first time when I really caught
your eyes
Jennifer Eccles white dress and neclass
Reminds me of a 4th of July
(where I sang)
Hey pretty pretty baby, what you say, maybe
We could spend some time together
Hey pretty pretty baby do you still feel like I
once sang it would be
I told you… oooh
Jupiter and mars and fire in the skies with stars
Memories of the first time when I really caught
your eyes
Jennifer Eccles white dress and neclass
Reminds me of a 4th of July
Jupiter and mars and fire in the skies with stars
Memories of the first time when I really caught
your eyes
Jennifer Eccles party shoes and red dress
Reminds me of a 4th of july

Being so soft made him so hard
His hot blood left him so cold
Ever since he was just a child
They told him boy, you´re too wild”
Never did look nothin like The King
Never walked like Brando in the sun
Neither Sandy or Stella came
When he called out their name
Stole his first car at seventeen
The judge said “boy, you´re gonna learn...”
Juvenile just made him mean
Left him with nowhere to turn
Except for the gun and the Marlboro Man
His only friend was the road map
The seat beside him’s full of
dirt, crap and coke cans
bottles and old football caps
Stella married that mean old judge
Sandy moved to Minnesota
But he has grown and learned and so many things’ve changed
Hes a abetter man, determined to show her
The thing is he knows it for real
This time he wont have to lie or to steal
This time he knows its for real
This time the kiss feels like it’s the big deal
In the heat of a saturday night
He was held up without a gun
But he was so cold
Just couldn’t give a damn
That boy should have walked straight away
He left that fool bleeding on the street
As the blue lights turned round the corner
He hit the ignition hard and fast
An indian midnight runner
Stole his first car at seventeen
The judge said “boy, you´re gonna learn...”
Juvenile just made him mean
Left him with nowhere to turn
Stella married that mean old judge
Sandy moved to Minnesota
And any body else, it don’t mean much
And he’s detemined to show her

The party is over and everybody’s gone
Except that brown haired girl and me
And she says “boy you better know
I've been thinkin bout sendin you a letter
Now I’ll tell it to you straight how it is
You can be my friend”
And I say “is that so?”
I say “okay, babe lets give it a try”
Thinkin’ we both know it ain’t right, thinking
Someone is taking me for a long ride
Someone is taking me for a long, long ride
So we meet for talk and a walk in the park
Where we meet a friend of hers
And I’m introduced as a… just a friend
But I haven’t decided yet
As an angel walks by in her eyes
And the music starts playing somewhere in my head
And I know I should never have tried
Thinkin we both know it ain’t right, thinking
Someone is taking me for a long ride
Someone is taking me for a long, long ride
You and me can only win or loose
There just ain’t no in between
Sweet dreams and fairy tales
In a nightmare of border towns in no mans land
The only chance we ever had
Was takin’ everything we can and give nothin’ back
Kill everything on our trail like a maniac
Rob every bank go to Vegas, put it all on black
Ain’t that a long ride, babe?
Ain’t that a long ride, babe?

Clandestine Man
04:22

She said we need to talk
But I ain´t talking anymore
Her words so distant
Like our kisses in the dark
She said I got issues
That I should really work em out
I said yeah baby and they´re all first editions
And in your heart I know you wont forget
Here she comes here she comes
Everything so right
She could sell what she want
But she ain´t selling that to me
Clandestine man
Clandestine man
A shore line bar in Jersey
Coloured party lights
Atlantic ocean view
Moonlight soul shines
Sitting next to nothing
‘Neath the bloodshot moon
Fixin´ to die tonight
Seing things clear
Uuuh so clear
Drinking road beers
But I ain´t going nowhere
Knocking down chasers
Ain´t chasing nothin´
Clandestine man
Clandestine man
Here I am trying to shed my skin
A diamond in the rough
She knocked me flat with the things she said
- pushed me over the edge
Round here diamonds fload like mud
A man on the street asking me for change
I asked him how he was - and he said
Pretty good how are you
I just walked on by
I handed him a fist full of cool cash
More than a dollar short
Of my AM dreams
So maybe I´ve been dealt a better hand
I know in my heart
It could easely have been me
Sittin´next to him
His eyes ain´t strange to me
Clandestine man
Clandestine man
