1. _ Distance
You are the beautiful lover
My lover
I am the distant shore
So far away
There is so much to uncover
Love's hiding
What is this distance for
What is it for
Out of the dark i am falling
I'm fallin'
Into your warm candle flame
So bright
A butterfly pinned to love's calling
Love's calling
Why must this magic be named
Must it be named
We've filled the air
With silent stares
But still no one dares
We are strangers
The sad jealous praise
As the symphony plays
And we are the foolish arrangers
The foolish arrangers
Repeat verse one

2. _ Down Home
The driver says it's gettin' late
But i know that he's lyin'
I got me no important dates
My, how time is flyin'
Chorus:
Well i keep on, keep on fallin'
I keep on, keep on fallin'
I keep on, keep on fallin'
Fallin' down home
Oh, la, la, la, la, oh, la, la, la, la
A pretty lady smiled at me
Love that fancy dancin'
Get back home where we can see
Do up some romancin'
Chorus
You know i'm just hangin' around
Got to be there, got to be there
When it all comes down,
Comes down down
Comes down home
Well now someone put firewater in my drink
Liked to make me drop it
Well now i know that this ain't no time to think
But you can't hardly stop it
Chorus
Here i go, here i go
Oh la, la, la, la, la, la, la...

3. _ Overcoats
Well i wandered in
To the house of mirrors
With a camera and an old shotgun
I was taking some pictures
Of me and my fears
And exploding them one by one
When all of a sudden
Much to my surprise
A lady with a fine tooth comb
Struck a match up to my face
And said, "get out of this place
You better leave the ugly truth alone"
Chorus:
Overcoats
Overcoats
I ain't never heard you sing
Overcoats
Overcoats
Take off that silly thing
Well, i looked her in the eye
With a slave-like stare
And said, "i'm here to talk about the rent"
Well, she did a double flip
Then she buttoned up her lip
Went and hid in the oxygen tent
Well the image shriveled up
And the air got thin
As she smiled from behind her mask
She said, "you can stay here all night
But it's gonna cost you your life
If i was you, i would be leaving fast."
Chorus
I didn't come for information
No i've read the daily news
It's carved on everybody's face
But i'm without illumination
Yes, i think we blew a fuse
And i'd be much obliged
If you could help me locate the place
Well at this, she seemed quite baffled
And like a little girl
She took off her wedding gown
Then she stood before the mirror
And it all came clear
She was married to the lost and found
So i left her there sleeping
In her honeymoon
And i made it through the antidote
Well the procedure is brief
If you wanna see what's underneath
You gotta take off that overcoat
Overcoats
Overcoats
I ain't never heard you sing

4. _ I'm Tired Of Your Stuff
You been slippin' around a bit
You been sayin' things that just don't fit
You been handin' me the same old line
About the proper place and the proper time
You been tellin' me a bunch of lies
I bet you thot that i was hypnotized
Chorus:
Well, my eyes is wide open, and i can see
You been tryin' to make a fool of me
I'm gettin sick, i've had enough
I'm tired of your stuff
I know you think that you're a movie queen
Well, i'm fed up with all your hollywood dreams
You're just an actress full of double talk
An angel's smile and a devil's walk
I know you think i can't walk out the door
But honey, i've seen this movie before
Chorus
Now i'm tryin' to get some sleep, but i can't get no rest
You got my head all in a mess
I'd count the sheep, but they all leavin' town
And you're the wolf that run my dreams around
But, i'll be sleepin' for a month or two
Just as soon as i get rid of you
Chorus

5. _ One More Time
Mama's in the bathroom
Waitin' to be saved
Papa's in the bedroom
Just diggin' up his grave
Brother's in the kitchen
Playin' with a knife
Sister's in the attic
Just laughin' at her life
Chorus:
And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And i'm gonna take what's mine
One more time
Everybody's nervous
The window shades are down
Angels flutter up above
The flame where love is found
Sit down at the table
Say a little grace
Put on your dark glasses
And try to find your place
Chorus
Crawlin' up the stairs
Cause i know your love is there
You don't have to tell me
All that i've done wrong
It wakes me up at night
And keeps me up the whole night long
But sooner or later
Everything's the same
And everybody's guilty
Of the pleasure and the pain
Chorus
Diggin' down deep
Baby please don't fall asleep
Chorus 4 times

6. _ Smiling In The Rain
The fallen angel shivers underneath the august moon
The lady of the house goes up in ashes
He crawled out through the future but the past came back too soon
And the present just occurs in sudden flashes
Chorus:
But in your eyes i see the pain
Help me ride this crazy train
I am lost and you are smilin' in the rain
Everybody's looking for a place to live their dreams
Main street paints a face on lonely lovers
Strangers meet with blindfolds on and hope they're what they seem
And everybody wants to have each other
Chorus
Well the giving, is the sacred thing
It's just the livin' that don't seem right
But for all the light that shines on me
Your light sets me free
Oh please stay with me tonight
The battle zone is quiet, all the appetites are gone
The soldier and his woman let the wounds heal
Knowing that tomorrow all the raging will go on
If only to remember how their love feels
Chorus

7. _ Motorboat To Heaven
You bring out the fool in me
The blind man at the bar
Who whistles for his drink and his cane
And shows everyone his scar
You're lovely, and you're cruel
You got me in a trance
You put my soul in those hot, hot coals
And you make my spirit dance
Chorus:
Motorboat to heaven
Baby's got the key
Tell me, how am i 'sposed
To get in close
Back here on these waterskis
You tell me everything
It makes me want to hide
But i know there ain't no place, that can erase
All the things i feel inside
So i'm out here in the wind
It seems to be my fate
To cruise the night, like some lost kite
Who knows it's just too late
Chorus
Tell me, how am i 'sposed
To get in close
Back here on these waterskis

8. _ I Want Your Love Inside Of Me
Unlock these chains and let me out
I want the love you're talkin' about
I want a job, i wanna care
I want to find you everywhere
I want a house and a fireplace
Screw the pain, i want a smile on my face
I want to take some kind of cure
I'm tired of being cold and sure
I know i'm not your high school dream
Nah, he got lost in the washing machine
I am the student who picks his nose
So come over here and take off your clothes
Take off your clothes
I'm on my knees if that's what you need
If it's blood you crave, well then i'm ready to bleed
Love is blind, but love can see
I want your love inside of me
Love is blind, but love can see
I want your love inside of me

9. _ I Killed An Ant With My Guitar
I killed an ant
With my guitar
Underneath romantic indiana stars
He was a fool
I was so cruel
The power of music is no tool
So i hit him in the head
And now he's dead
I killed him there
By the front door
Well it was something he was really asking for
He was a chump
It was no bump
Or any ordinary lump
No i squashed his little head
And now he's dead
Well i'm sure he had a family
Some children and a pretty wife
And i'm sure he worked like the devil
Ah, who was i to take his tiny life
But...
I killed an ant
With my guitar
Underneath romantic indiana stars
He was a fool
I was so cruel
The power of music ain't no tool
So i bopped him in the head (not quite sure here..bopped makes about
And now he's dead the only sense)
La, la, la, la la, la, la la, la, la

10. _ The Lady Of The Night
Oh the moon hangs down
Like some old evening gown
Forgotten by some lovely southern maiden
Oh the stars are her tears
And the sky a skin of years
That she has most graciously given
Now who am i
To think that she might bat an eye
At my heart that lay so dangerously open
'neath the sweet magnolia tree
The world's a fragrant memory
And the lady of the night has finally spoken
Chorus:
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
And you drift from place to place and you never know
Well is it here that i will stay?
Child, you must be on your way
For you are now, but you know nothing of your sorrow
So i hover in the breath
Between the birthday and the death
And the hummingbird, he hovers o're the flower
Though the end is just a guest
From one moment to the next
I keep thinking there will be a final hour
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
And you drift from place to place and you never know
Well is it here that i will stay?
Child, you must be on your way
For you are now, but you know nothing of tomorrow
She cries, oh, you are a leaf that the wind blows
And you drift from place to place and you never know
Well is it here that i will stay?
Child, you must be on your way
