-- Lyrics -- Standing in line at the filling station Love the smell of the gas just waiting I know I shouldn’t breathe it in But I do anyway See the lights now that I’m getting to the city Drifting in thrift stores I see something pretty I see a jacket I’d wear til I gave it to you I’m not your lover I’m not your lover anymore Lilac and dogwood in the summer air Kentucky grass wishing that you were there With your hand on my knee Put your head on my shoulder where you want it to be I’m not your lover I’m not your lover anymore You shake my spine until you sublimate it Pour the wine til I can’t separate it from my brain You’re a sign on the highway covered in rain I’m not your lover I’m not your lover I’m not your lover I’m not your lover anymore

-- Lyrics -- Come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired Come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired On a transatlantic flight Before sunrise I’m dazed and confused Just like Julie Delpy like Léa Seydoux I wanna see you roll your eyes In a televised interview I wanna make you mine I wanna make you mine God’s handiwork in the clouds You navigating the crowds Of the festival Of the festival You’re lighthearted heavyhearted too Something I wouldn’t put my worst enemy through Now I’m looking at the sun through My eyelids My eyelids Now I’m drifting in the astral plane When willI I see you again? Are you drifting in the astral plane? When will I see you again? So why don’t you come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired You look good when you’re tired So why don’t you come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired On a transatlantic flight Mmm Transatlantic flight I am a prisoner, prisoner Mmm I am a prisoner mmm, prisoner Mmm Transatlantic flight Prisoner, a prisoner Mmm, I am a prisoner Transatlantic flight Prisoner, a prisoner Transatlantic flight Mmm, mmm So why don’t you come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired Come on, come on, come on over Start talking to me One thing, one thing I can tell you You look good when you’re tired On a transatlantic flight Mmm

-- Lyrics -- Mountain of worry Mountain of song You ask how I’m doing Like you knew what was wrong Tell me just one time What I knew all along I’m on your side On your side Long blue light If you don’t call me I might lose my mind Can’t keep concentrating On all the worry I find So just lend me your body I’ll lend you mine I’m on your side On your side Long blue light My eyelids are heavy My spirit is numb Don’t know where I’m headed Don’t know where I’m from I’m here just waiting For my day to come I’m on your side On your side Long blue light

-- Lyrics -- Is it wrong to call your name On the Apalachee Plain When I know it’s been called A thousand times If at all Is it wrong To call your name Once again Wishing’s easy If you try Don’t get bogged down And don’t you cry If it comes true So be it And if it don’t just believe it To be the way That it always Ought to be Mustang’s kicking in the field I saw it all behind the wheel But it woulda never had that feel You weren’t right there at my heels Holding up Your end Of the bargain So how about your lean on in Just this one time give me that grin The one I first saw laying in bed With your hair about our heads When the sky it was deserted In the space of a couple lines I’m reminded from time to time You were in and throughout Before the flood, before the drought Before the sunlit garden grew Before the ashes filled the tombs No there ain’t nothing I can change about me now No there ain’t nothing I can change about me now No there ain’t nothing I can change about me now You lay You lay You lay You lay You lay Mmm

-- Lyrics -- Coincidence is piling up, don’t know if it’s a sign Sometimes you got no choice in the matter You gotta shake the tree of time You see I finally found another that I’d like to introduce Do you know what I’m thinking, can you tell me who I am Do you think that I am doomed? You’re my blood brother What am I gonna do? You’re my blood brother She’s just like me and you I really fell hard for you baby, I won’t fall for that again With my mind twisted and turned in all directions til I don’t know who I am You know your lips when they kiss me it’s like a gun against my skin But if ever they cut you down with a dagger, only I would feel it going in She’s my blood brother What am I gonna do? She’s my blood brother What am I gonna do? My life is on the radio, they’re saying it’s a dream I can tell that the lights are fading but it’s just a change of scene You know sometimes it’s like I’m weightless and it’s just like I ain’t here In fact for my next performance, I’m gonna plain disappear She’s my blood brother It’s just like I ain’t here She’s my blood brother I’m gonna plain disappear She’s my blood brother It’s just like I ain’t here She’s my blood brother I’m gonna plain disappear

-- Lyrics -- Maybe I’m just drawn to the wonder I can feel it coming do you hear the ninth? From the river bridge I hear the thunder Eye of the storm your skin on mine Tell me what’s the story my morning glory Whisper it to me in a grand hotel Telling me all the time I’m sorry Baby don’t I know it, it ain’t hard to tell Well I know, yeah I know, you get so low before you get high Before you go, come say hello Cause I’m never gonna find the way to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye Hot tears Hot tears Lightning evening in the holy highlands Down in the hall up against the wall I know you’re struggling what to call it Why you gotta call it anything at all Is it a dream or some softer poison Eyes looking away til they bled the blues yeah Is it a dream or some softer poison Eyes looking away, eyes looking away Well I know, yeah I know, you get so low before you get high Before you go, come say hello Cause I’m never gonna find the way to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye Hot tears. Heavenly love is right on time But is it enough You gotta find the light Heavenly love is right on time But is it enough You gotta find the light Find the light Find the light Heavenly love Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light Find the light
