Devil Once Was a Man 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Last night I saw a Ghost out on the foggy shore line He said I don't mean to boast but I dont tied up the Devil to a whipping post he sang "please dont hurt me" while he's sheddin' all of these tears "My soul has been on fire for years on years" Sympathy for the Devil, Father told me I was mad But lately Crazy doesn't seem so bad. The Devil he once was a man Loved his Woman more than anyone can but she had eyes for gold yes she had a greed like it was greed for souls and once she knew she had him won Lord you know she had him hung and sent our Devil straight down to Hell singin' "please dont hurt me" while he's sheddin' all of these tears "My soul has been on fire for years on years" Sympathy for the Devil, Father told me I was mad But lately Crazy doesn't seem so bad.

Been walking down the avenue & crawlin outa my skin Finding fleeting love Like a spare suit I could slip into Then a glance from a beauty made me curious and my loneliness had the best of me I dont know why I dont know why been going outa my mind lately somethin crazy somethin crazy must have a hold on me scotch in the carpet and the scene was old lipstick chasin my collar bone she says "pardon me love. but do you know the girl these earings belong to?" found a table for one at the cafe her ruse of rouge had my thoughts flyin away I dont know why I dont know why been going outa my mind lately somethin crazy somethin crazy must have a hold on me thought about her in the mornin, thought about her in the eve but her lipstick stains was all was left it seems had to get her off my mind and to my surprise when I came home from the day a beauty in the doorway was staring at me said she had my voice in her head on repeat like a record had her skippin down the street I dont know why I dont know why been going outa my mind lately somethin crazy somethin crazy must have a hold on me

People Like You Need People Like Me We'd Flirt in your cafe is it true what they say? Girls make up their minds right away well it took me a little more time I'd leave flowers behind became your disappearing valentine my heart was stuck in someone's lost and found never found a thing till you came around [Chorus] See people like you need people like me people like us, we tend to fall in love easily the smell of your cherry hair or that soft soft skin when we laugh flirtatiously it makes me fall in love because people like you need people like me Must have seemed like I was blind combing through sand looking for a light I'd write a novel with a glance a hopeless romantic who's afraid of romance but you taught me about the colors in a grey sky there's always a brighter thought behind your eyes See people like you need people like me people like us, we tend to fall in love easily the smell of your cherry hair or that soft soft skin when we laugh flirtatiously it makes me fall in love because people like you need people like me I need you too baby can't you see when I was in love before it tore out my heart closed all the doors every step I took opened up another wound left looking for something I couldn't find I was searching for this love that you provide See people like you need people like me people like us, we tend to fall in love easily the smell of your cherry hair or that soft soft skin when we laugh flirtatiously it makes me fall in love because people like you need people like me

I've been planting Money in the Garden I'm hoping to get a tree with dollar bills for leaves The Feds have been calling my apartment they're talking policies but I'm scraping on my knees so I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much It just seems that I dont have the funds to make good on my debts and collect my dues because Technicolor Costs Too Much I've been dreaming of fame and fortune I wrote this little song and I hope you sing along but the news gave a horror just this morning seems that fame has a price paparazzi come a knockin' so I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much There aint a door that you could shut to keep out the cameras and keep yourself sane because Technicolor Costs Too Much now I know that life aint always fair and I know that I wont alwasy be here no see when the men in their black suits come knowckin at my door saying sign the dotted line all your troubles will be gone Their painted plastic smiles try to do me wrong Well I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much I'll be dreaming in Black and White because Technicolor Costs Too Much Technicolor Costs Too Much I wont be living ragged with a broken heart because Technicolor Costs Too Much

Erin 04:21
lyrics

Erin Don’t cry, don’t cry Because your world has gone array Better days must come But as for time He is an old man Who’s inching along I know, I know The feeling all too well Just how it is To be all alone In your own skin In your bones Erin, I’ve seen the weight of this world on you (x3) And it broke my heart Why now, why now Did you allow your hands To score another’s land And build up home On their flesh And not your own my dearest love, dearest love I’ve seen you through it all your knuckles pale and white From holding on To every inch you crawled And every mile you strode Erin I’ve seen the light of this world in you Erin I've seen the weight of this world on you Erin I swear I never doubted you From the day we met
 How well, how well Can we know the worlds we claim? A Farmer tills his soil but there’s miles below he’ll never see and we’ll never know

Somebody 04:14
lyrics
See her there on the city street two hours on her make up but no time for talking stiletto heels and sex on her sleeve says Whoa Why can't I find somebody You wont see this in her eyes or the subtle way she moves her body it's all of those little things she tries to disguise that say Whoa why can't I find somebody Somebody somebody somebody gonna hold me at night somebody somebody somebody where I wont have to try... He walks around like a puff of smoke telling drunk jokes about things he don't know like a sweet caress or lingerie well Whoa why can't I find somebody Says he's often misdirected that he goes often undetected spends all his time just trying to get wrecked and whoa why can't i find somebody Somebody somebody somebody gonna hold me at night somebody somebody somebody where I wont have to try so I don't have to hide with somebody Fill a room with the worlds lonely hearts would they even know how to start or would they just complain that its far too dark and say Whoa why can't I find somebody

That girl wears cute like a clever disguise she's got a beauty that you can't define So Easy to Love So hard to hold wear her words like you wear your clothes Her thoughts are a painting that changes its mind her clothes are in style but they're out of time So easy to Love So hard to hold Works herself to death and never grows old She's been my light in the window she's been my calling card she's been that distant voice thats never too far shes been the one I've lost and the one I've rediscovered that she's so easy to love so easy to love

Lost by the Thought of You 03:04

Woke from a dream to a scene surreal Sign post read "Here is where you Heal" You're a lingering ghost of sleep blurry vision and I cant see I've been Lost by the Thought of You Lost by the Thought of You Find a red string to guide me home make my way to the door of this maze I am all alone and empty gaze on an empty vase I've been Lost by the Thought of You Lost by the Thought of You We planted hedgerow seeds in virgin soil with virgin arms but now you're gone You're just a memory in my head just a memory in my bed So I follow my red string the world outside rushes in new love to have and new love to give Never to be Lost by the Thought of You Lost by the Thought of You The thought of you You....

200 Miles 05:04
lyrics
buy track
remember when we carved each others faces in constellations? I just found your face again its that star up and to the right can you see it there in the midnight sky? She says "The weather's different here boy. There's clouds everywhere. and though there's 200 miles between my eyes and your eyes 200 miles between our lips and a kiss 200 miles between my heart and yours I wanna reach out an inch want to touch your love." The pain is not so much in not having your touch. It's having it once. So when you visit we don't go outside yeah I'm skipping class, I'm missing lunch, I know soon you'll be out of sight I'll be chasing down that train trying to catch a glimpse of your face 'cause then there's 200 miles between my eyes and your eyes 200 miles between our lips and a kiss 200 miles between my heart and yours I wanna reach out an inch want to touch your love. So you say that you think we're drifting apart that we dont talk about much we just talk about the weather well I aint goin' down that way no gettin' on that train flyin south for the winter so I never hear you say that there's 200 miles between my eyes and your eyes 200 miles between our lips and a kiss 200 miles between my heart and yours I wanna reach out an inch I wanna reach out an inch So there's 200 steps till I hit your front door two dozen roses to make you hit the floor too much to say far too much to intimate so you shut me up pull me into the hall You say "Boy it was so rough until you came along. I need to touch your love."
