Big Head Todd and the Monsters Album

I work on a wreckin' wall
Just off the liquor tracks
Onto the shaky ground
Oh, I'm fallin' down
Hey, I'm ridin'

A fool to confide
Hey, Eddie watch your name
Let that lady be your guide
Oh, she's comin' round
Hey, I'm flyin'

When the sleep gets in your eyes
I'll be on Kensington Line
And I'll run my hundred miles
Hey, don't you follow me tonight

I didn't like the look I see
Runnin' in the autumn leaves
Hasn't got a brain or peeve
Oh, the walls are closin' in
Hey, I'm headed out of here
Oh, I never meant to leave you cryin'

Angry hands upon the wheel turn slow
Without a star the water turns to stone
Here I stand by lovely strategem
When love is gone I'll invent again

Lady in Ashes, Forget her name
Her beauty was matchless, her nature untame

And by now her face is far below
Still beneath the desert rivers flow
Take the sand in empty hand and then
Blow away and bring her back again

And if you ask it, dear one plays again
Her beauty was matchless, her nature untame

Deathless hand in land where devils roam
who with a switchblade cut the head of hope
It's time to exchange the evil, blow by blow
Without a star the water turns to stone

If time is our master, then I'm lost again
her beauty was matchless, her nature untame

She's running on clean power
She's wound up at the hip
"Wearing Only Flowers" came in 27 to 1
I'd love a drink of water
Take a little kiss
Find a lovely lady - step inside, take a sip

Atlanta turn around and love
Will come back to you

His elements are shaking
She's wounded at the wrist
Person of the hour, the only way she knows how to make it
I know I'll get over
Two months maybe less
I left undiscovered - saw her undress

Atlanta don't look so surprised
We belong to life

After ten years taken
Accidentally meetin'
Realize we were mistaken
Oh yes, we arrive late again
Fix a little breakfast
Time for gettin' married
"Wearing Only Flowers" came in 27 to 1

Atlanta don't look so surprised
Sometimes love will make you wise up
Atlanta close your eyes and I will belong to you

If the flower should lose her green
And the cold never turn to spring
Show me, show me where I'm imagining
All the things I haven't learned to see
Breaker, please...
Oh, I lost my loving mind, and found it again
If my mind should take me down below
Black and white blood should lifeless flow
Remind my heart that you're listening
Break my neck and I'll hear you sing
Breaker, please...
Oh, I've lost my loving mind, and found it again
In the universe without you and me
Love carries on at twice the speed
Blows behind us and wrecks everything
Break my neck and I'm lost in the breeze
Breaker, please...

Awaiting my treasure drifting ashore
When from the galleys we're set free
And I'll never give you more
Than the time that we save
Magdelina I forgave
And I will feel everything

There are bridges burning here and we have
to keep below
Lest the guns should overtake us and let out
the final blow
A deserter I'll be hung, though ever battle I had won
And I won't feel anything

Hey Magdelina, there is only now to lay aside
All the bad dreams of your past have been
lost in the fire
Remember, soon I'll be back to bathe in your smile
And touch a long time indeed

We keep each other in the air
And from there we're afraid of falling down
She don't believe I really care
Oh, she'll be runnin' as soon as we reach the ground
But her angel leads me on
'Til I find her lovin' arms

Just when I think it's safe to doubt
I turn about and find I've been left behind
There's only so long I can go without
Like a fool I shout instead of cryin'
But her angel leads me on
'Til I find her lovin' arms

A home sinking in the sand
It hurts to understand where I went wrong
So I'll believe with an empty hand
I'll receive at last what I can't own
But her angel leads me on
'Til I find her lovin' arms

Won't you tell me in the morning
Of the kisses that you left me in my sleep

Of all the thunder and the stormin'
Of all the racket in the street

Chorus:
And if the sun should open wide
Your eyes to find another day
And I'll never take you back
If you can't find your own way

I want to tell you in the morning
Of the demons that I killed in my dreams
And should the devil take me now, here's a warnin'
Ah, hell can't come between you and me

Chorus

And all of these chains; a sweet caress
And all of my weight was tenderness
Every time we had it put to bed
Oh, the tables are turning 'round and
I'm in it again

Now it's the ending of our second chance
And there's no telling where we're gonna go
Save what I was spending at the circus and
Save everything I can before
I'm blown away

Every time you had it put to bed
The reason I initially believed
I finally found someone certain and
He left a flower inside of you
Only for me to see

As I was walking by the muddy river
I was touched by a hand
I was laid over in a strange land

As I looked to take myself a silver
Beneath the moonlight still lay a-bare
Barely unnoticed, bury my head in her soft hair

Greyhound roll on, get on and get me a ride

You made me feel good outside
You were a good public affair
Everybody knew there was nothin' goin' on

Greyhound roll on, get on and get me a ride

Lone and alone she lies, poor miss
Five flights from earth and one from heaven
Dark hair and eyes, she tries hard not to cry
But still alone she lies

And I never knew the reasons
There ain't no lover in your bed
but lady you were always some kind
Of woman to me

There ain't no gardens for my poor miss
There ain't no sunshine in April's spring
Just four dark walls, and light comes shadowly
Ah, poor miss, ah me!

And I still remember the sunlight on your face
Lady you were always some kind
Of woman to me

Ah, soon she will wake
When love is the air she breathes
Hurry into her please
Alight again
And take what we reap
A harvest abounding
The trumpets are sounding
A beautiful name
From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away

And the wine that she keeps saving the best for me
We're only blessed you see
If we believed
In something unseen
Felt by remembering
A wait, and a hoping in
The time to receive

From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away

The mountains will rock
And crumble into the seas
And all of the saints will be
Marching home
The cities will stop
Oh, and they'll sell their kings
Oh, and they'll kill their queens
On no

From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they're done
Away
