THE LINES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
I had money on my mind, everybody on the floor I’m going outside
I had money on my mind, but its gone, gone gone gone
I had her on my side, all she had to do was drive the car
I had her on my side, but my side of the law is wrong wrong wrong
Cutest girl that I ever did see and she was standing over there, she was looking at me
She had blood red lips and a black black heart
I knew right away we would never part
until we die, far far away
We held up some bars, we held up garages we held up banks
We got pretty far, I never had to use my gun gun gun
Out luck ran out, she had a .45 against her head
There was no room for doubt, she started crying about love love love
He took the gun from the counter and he held it at her head
He told her not to move or the girl would be dead
So I shot her in the heart and I shot him in the face
I took all of the money and got out of that place
no trace, alone on the road again

THE ONLY KEY THAT FITS IN MY HEART
Well I guess its OK you’re leaving
Because we’re driving each other insane
And I smoked so much crack this evening
Trying to destroy my brain
You’ve got the only key that fits in my heart
Pinning up just to numb the feeling
And keep my mind in a haze
I wish you were here to get my clean and
We could go back to our hopeless ways
I knew that you would leave me from the start
And I wear all the shirts that you don’t like
And I tear up everything as I write
Hey hey don’t leave me here to fall apart
Hey hey don’t leave me like this with a broken heart

I ONLY WANT TO SEE HIS GHOST
I went all alone to his holy home
At night they say you hear him sing
Everyone knows if they move your bones
You'll never rest on peace
On this hallowed ground he's still around
Taking Care of Business
On the darkest nights dressed in rhinestones and white
His skeleton's hips still shaking
He follows a lonely beat
From a dead man's note
"I walk a lonely street"
I only want to see his ghost
I only want to see his ghost
I only want to see his ghost
I only want to see his ghost
But the sweetest words that have ever been heard
Are some 204 miles away
Deep in Tupelo if you ever go
To Priceville Cemetery
From an unmarked grave the loneliest babe
With the most golden voice in history
A stillborn twin a ghost from the beginning
The saddest songs you could hear

Murder on her Mind

MURDER ON HER MIND
She never told me her name
But she had blonde hair
She had smudged makeup
She didn’t care uh huh
Demon driving into the night
I found an empty bottle of sleeping pills
Desert at night giving me chills
It doesn’t matter where you are
Blood on the floor of this car
And murder on her mind
She tells me ‘look at the stars’
Murder on her mind
She’s not going to stop
Murder on her mind

I LONG FOR THE WARMTH OF A HUMAN HEART
Checked into a room
At a cheap motel
wWhat else could I do but
Run away from hell
Drink for hours and hours
Drink for days
Someone like me shouldn’t
Be able to feel this way
And all I want is to
One last time feel you
In my arms
The only time I feel like
a person is when I have you
in my arms
No I won’t get far
They’ll find me of course
I’m still breathing but I
Have no pulse
The crime between me and you
Is your real skin and blood
Replicants aren’t allowed
To feel real love
Forever ticking in my ear
The only thing I can hear
Is your heart
I shiver in the dark
I long to feel the warmth
of your heart

Darkness Across Town

DARKNESS ACROSS TOWN
She pulled him out of a knife fight behind the back of a bar
Glass in his face left him with deep and nasty scars
His hands cut to pieces and his face bled for days
But she took him to bed and he swore off all of his old ways
A worn out leather jacket was about the only thing he owned
Straight of jail back into the same trouble he’d always known
Whipped two guys with a chain before the other four brought him down
But there were rocks in the case no diamonds or a single dollar to be found
Darkness descends on this town baby, darkness is all around
Hold on to me tightly girl and don’t you make a sound
Darkness descends on this town baby darkness is all around
And you leave without me baby we’ll both end up underground
The sands of the desert whip your eyes so cover up your face
Winds howl through the streets whispering from all the unmarked graves
She pulls the curtains tight, she double locks the door
Outside a cacophony of motorbike engines roar
He takes another drink of whisky his mouth clamped tight shut
She wails and cries and moans but they know he’s completely out of luck
Once you’re given a job you can never go back again
You do your work or you get yourself a bullet through your brain
