1. _ The Baltimore Sun
(olson, louris) gunflint music bmi
In the baltimore daily newspaper
Miracles really happen that way
Now, you know me much better than any
And that is why i can't call you my friend
Call you my friend
In all the time that i've known you
Never knowing that i'd let you down
In the tight desperation you stumbled
With nothing to show but these empty arms
Empty arms
Chorus:
The way i'm living now, might as well leave for baltimore
And the sun keeps shining lonesome
(verse 2)
(chorus)
(chorus)
(verse 1)
Call you my friend

2. _ Martin's Song
(olson) gunflint music bmi
He's only six years old, that old killer died.
Put him down in a great big hole, i fill it up all the time.
See the buildings rise up to the sky, parking meters, traffic cops.
You'd best watch your record son, they'll come and lock you up.
Chorus:
I been working all night.
I go long into the day.
You got much money now.
Got the time ahead, you got the time ahead to pay
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, girl take your pill
Forty years of sudden death, the acid rain is falling on my head
Bush raids (abortion rates?) on the rise, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing not enough, stepping stones, building blocks
(chorus)
(chorus)
Cause, i been working all night.
I go along into the day.
You got much money.
Got the time ahead, you got the time ahead to pay

3. _ Red Firecracker
(louris, olson) gunflint music bmi
His jaw crawd and tobacco driped
Down his chin
His face settled on the neon lights
Reflected in
His face settled on the neon lights
Reflected in
Chorus:
Red firecracker, don't explode
There is a picture in his mind passed down
And it feels like going home
Calculates all the cash he makes
At happy hour
Two bullet-holes took the best
Suit he owned
Two bullet-holes took the best
Suit he owned
(chorus)
Quick sand all around the man
Bad history
I suppose, there is a better way
To calm him down

4. _ Five Cups Of Coffee
(olson, louris) gunflint music bmi
When i left here this morning
Just like before
You say nothing changes
Passing time around here
Stole a long string of pearls
And i pawned downtown
Gonna buy me some good fun
Back where no one can see
Chorus:
And the long black dream is over
As the snow falls on and on
And it takes five cups of coffee
To calm down before i sleep
Let the sky soak on my clothes
Way back in the alley
All of the red beads
Mixed up in her pew
Take the chance that i left you
Knowing where you might need me
So easy to believe
In someone i'd never see
(chorus)

5. _ Sioux City
(olson) gunflint music bmi
There are so many times i swear
I hear them fighting down the stairs
In sioux city
Please don't let her find
This dark and dingy room
Sioux city, here tonight
I know the hotel clerk, he lied.
I followed her from the west side
In sioux city
Please don't bring to life
This dark and dingy room
Sioux city, here tonight
I know the hotel clerk he lied.
I followed her from the west side
In sioux city
Please don't let her find
This dark and dingy room
Sioux city
Please don't bring to life
This dark and dingy room
Sioux city, here tonight

6. _ Commonplace Streets
(olson) gunflint music bmi
This crumpled dollar bill in my back pocket
Reminds me i had twenty
What somebody said to someone
You'd think that worries him
Laid out on the newsstands
Or even sinful publications
Chorus:
See the haze on commonplace streets,
You're back again
So we walk on different streets
Taking time no one seems to notice
Outside you're all smiles
When inside i know you're hurten
(chorus)
This crumpled dollar bill in my back pocket
Reminds me i had twenty
What somebody said to someone
You'd think that worries him

7. _ She's Not Alone Anymore
(olson) gunflint music bmi
Hitchhiked back from blue earth
She's not alone anymore
She can fool like before
That's too bad
Lost my bus fare back
She's not alone anymore
Hanging on like before
By a thread
Chorus:
In the springtime the birds begin singing
And the leaves on the trees are so sweet
And you'll see what i mean
If i moved a little closer
She's not alone anymore
Get by like before
She bought them
Deadlined in my right hand
She's not alone anymore
Getting stoned like before
What a drag
(chorus)
(verse 1)

8. _ Two Angels
(olson) gunflint music bmi
I'd hope to find you this morning
Talking to the trees
I could miss you, after what went down.
If false love could lie by you
While i'm swinging low
I could steal downtown, making some sweet time
Chorus:
Two angels, one bad end
This lifetime's easy
Way back home there's a funeral
Think i'll take to the sidewalk
Knowing it's not real
I could steal downtown, making some sweet time
(chorus)
Two angels, one bad end
(chorus)

9. _ Ain't No End
(perlman, louris, olson) gunflint music bmi
Pick up the pieces and pack your mind
You don't ask for what you have to find
Many people rolling out to sea
Let loose those floodgates that have held you back so long
Chorus:
Oh lord, there ain't no end
Left in one thing you tried to kill
Now there's a station not so far away
I listen in most every single night
Why does that valley i can't cross
This soul has been misplaced in the desert it was lost
(chorus) *2
(verse 1)

10. _ Dead End Angel
(olson) gunflint music bmi
Chorus:
Go to sleep my dead end angel
Say goodnight to your precious one
For i know you're empty handed
And all the police carry guns
Whisper to me in the morning
And i'll kiss your blues away
For i know your body's aching
And the lynch mob's on the way
Just to hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs
Just to live one single day without a single care
(chorus)
Just to hear your footsteps climbing up the stairs
Just to live one single day without a single care
(chorus)
And all the police carry guns

11. _ Will I Be Married
(olson) gunflint music bmi
Will i be married
First girl i see coming down the road?
Will i lay dying
Along the highway where the tall trees grow?
Chorus:
Trees above me know that i'm below
Someone that lived before?
How will i know?
How will i know?
Where is this king's crown
Who stole away with the goods?
Will i be a bum
Stand in line for my own bed?

(verse 1)

12. _ I'm Still Dreaming, Now I'm Yours
(olson) gunflint music bmi
Before the first life (light?)
Hits the floor
Dying on some wind
So afraid of losing you
So i made a change
There is no one there
Tell you how to live
Not knowing where you been
Chorus:
I'm still dreaming, now i'm yours
I'm still dreaming, now i'm yours
Woke up that same way
So easy for me
Listen to the sunrise
Do i know you better now?
(chorus) *2
(verse 1)
(chorus) * 3
