She's skilled at the art of deception and she knows it
She's got dirty money that she plays with all the time
She waters the garden but maybe she just likes the hoses
She puts herself just a notch above humankind

Ah, Mary
She'll bake you cookies, then she'll burn your town
Ah, Mary
Ashes ashes but she won't fall down

She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone

Call her a bully, she'll blow up your whole damn playground
Pour her a drink and watch it go straight to her head
She'll take you so high up and cover her eyes as you fall down
Then in the morning don't be surprised if you're dead

Ah, Mary
She'll bake you cookies, then she'll burn your town
Ah, Mary
Ashes ashes but she won't fall down

She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
Ah, Mary

She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
Ah Mary, Mary, Mary, America
Ah Mary, Mary, Mary, America
America

We've been driving since the winter
The destination doesn't change
You know i can still remember
The day you asked me for my name

You are thee rock on the riverbed
Growing smoother every year
You are the voice inside my head
I can't believe you got me here

Stop the bus and turn the radio up high
And grab the first guitar you see

And get out the old flare gun and throw it to the sky
Tonight you're sleeping next to me

You give me something to remember
Each time you look into my eyes
You see through my trouble and my temper
And you call me out on every lie

Stop the bus and turn the radio up high
And grab the first guitar you see
And get out the old flare gun and throw it to the sky
Tonight you're sleeping next to me

. . .


Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said well what do you expect
You asked me not to stay and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
And he said

Oh he said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies

Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you you're my friend
I hope i don't have to lie
Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right

And he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That i didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies

. . .


Well there ain't no time to let that gun by shy babe
There ain't no time to live up to the lie babe
There ain't no time to let the well run dry babe
There's far too many things to do
Before the day is through

Well there ain't no way of pushing back the clock babe
There ain't no way to make the bad man stop babe
There ain't no time to holler out until your face turns blue
Because there's far too many things to do
Before the day is through

Well there ain't no time

Purple mountain's majesty has turned all black and blue
The shots that fired up the hill
They're headed right for you
There ain't not time to look me in the eye
Or ask me what i'm doing
There's far too many things to do
Before the war is through
There ain't no time

. . .


Wake up mr. columbus
Get up you gotta help us
Pick it up there ain't no way around it
Let's go i think we've found it

We found the edge of the world

It's alright we'll think of something
Step up come on and jump in
I know just what you're scared of
You just need a good shove

Over the edge of the world

When you run right into something
They said you'd never find
You gotta ask yourself if it ain't
All inside your mind
But i see it and i believe it
This ain't no great divide
So me and mr. columbus
Are going to the other side

We found the edge of the world
Mr. columbus

. . .


You may see me when i'm on the run
You may see me when i'm all undone
You may see me smoking a cigarette
You may see me and try to forget
But you won't forget

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose I guess you draw
I had to leave I guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
'Cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

You may see me but you never know
You may see me in ohio

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose I guess you draw

I had to leave I guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
'cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

Don't come looking babe
Don't come looking babe
Cause if you look too hard
You'll find me in the wrong place

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose I guess you draw
I had to leave I guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
'Cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

You may see me when I ain't got a thing

. . .


You've got a baby pretty as a creole queen
And my old man's got eyes of blue and green
But you took me dancing when our lovers weren't around
You called it losing time in the in between

Could be all the booze we drank in austin
Could be we're just scared of growing old
Could be this ain't no way of living
But there ain't nothing like that rock 'n roll

And when that light shines on you
You know it soothes my soul
Finding time to lose with you
Is water in the dust bowl
I got arms to hold me every night
But i'm still sleeping with a ghost
Your kisses are so sweet and slow
It feels alright as long as they don't know

We rolled out of a hotel room in georgia
Just in tie to say a quick goodbye
But you don't even look over your shoulder
You're thinking how you'll look your baby in the eye

But when that light shines on you
You know it soothes my soul
Finding time to lose with you
Is water in the dust bowl
I got arms to hold me every night
But i'm still sleeping with a ghost
Your kisses are so sweet and slow
It feels alright as long as nobody knows

Sweet like sugarcane
Slow like a midnight train
You like to call me very now and then
And I just can't wait to loes some time again

When that light shines on you
You know it soothes my soul
Finding time to lose with you
Is water in the dust bowl
I got arms to hold me every night
But i'm still sleeping with a ghost
Your kisses are so sweet and slow
It feels alright as long as nobody knows
Nobody knows

Can you believe in something
Bigger than what you left behind
Like a balloon on a long string
The recipe for the mastermind

One part sugar
Two parts feeling
Three cups full of bottled lightening
Four parts water
Five parts believing
Mix it all together and put both feet in

Can you rely on your own two hands
To cut you free from all that made you blind
One in a milion would be given this change
The recipe for the mastermind

One part sugar

Two parts feeling
Three cups full of bottled lightening
Four parts water
Five parts believing
Mix it all together and put both feet in

Oh won't you be my mastermind
Oh won't you be my mastermind
I'm gonna feed you and make you shine
Oh won't you be my mastermind

One part sugar
Two parts feeling
Three cups full of bottled lightening
Four parts water
Five parts believing
Mix it all together and put both feet in

. . .


You're running me ragged
I don't do the things i should
If the devil made a fire
You'd be the wood

I've just got one question
Answer me if you could
How can so much trouble
Look so god damn good?

Look at the way you've been living
Look at the love you should be giving
Look at what tomorrow left behind
Look at at all the life that you've been missing
Look at the girl you could be kissing

Look what happened in the meantime
Before i find you and kindly remind you

So come sit down beside me
With a dollar and a dime
And we'll drink away our fortunes
Here's to the meantime

Look at the way you've been living
Look at the love you should be giving
Look at what tomorrow left behind
Look at at all the life that you've been missing
Look at the girl you could be kissing
Look what happened in the meantime
Before i find you and kindly remind you

. . .


We got lost again
Drove to the end of the road
Met a red faced man taught us to do what we're told
and on the twenty-third night
Things aint bad but things ain't right

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living or dying?
I guess we'll never know

The airs so heavy
It could drown a butterfly
If it flew to high
and I get the feeling
That the truck driver ain't shy
Because he's lookin' at me but no where near my eye
and on the thirty-fifth morning
Things ain't good but things ain't boring

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living or dying?

I guess we'll never know
Striking rock or hitting gold

Sometimes it's hard to tell if there's a life behind a song?
But I know tommorow
Today won't feel so alone
Because on the forty-second night
The room was dark but the stage was bright

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living, are we dying?

'Cause my friend this too shall pass

So play every show like its your last

. . .


My body's acing from laying in this bed
I went singing in the rain and the cold got to my head
I don't know who's paying i just know what the doctor said
84 years of a sinning life and in the morning i'll be dead

I had three daughters
A new man for every one
The only man that i ever loved
Left me with my only son
I was a no good mother
I was a no good wife
There's only one thing that i did right in this godforsaken life

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing

I sang to my children
Before they strayed so far
I sang for my lovers
Or a nickel in a tip jar
I never knew jesus

I never read the good book
But on my day of dying
I'm giving life a second look

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing

It's coming on time now
My body's getting cold
I've got no will i've got no prayer
My story's all been told
I'm ready for the land of fire
But i'd love to see the land of gold
So nurse bring me my guitar
One more song before i go

Saint peter won't you open up the big white gate
Cause i heard about forgiveness and i hope it ain't too late
I ain't no holy roller but you go tell your king
That all the folks up in heaven might like to hear me sing
