St. Teresa

Sit down on the corner, just a little climb

When I make my money, got to get my dime

Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash

She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me

I know any man sees you like I see

Follow down the side street movin' single file

She say...

That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me

She say...

Every stone a story, like a rosary

Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime

When I make my money, got to get my dime

Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon

Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon

You called up in the sky

You called up in the clouds

Is there something you forgot to tell me...

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me

Every stone a story, like a rosary

Man In the Long Black Coat

Bob Dylan

Crickets are chirpin' the water is high

There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry

Window's wide open African trees

Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze

Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Somebody seem him hangin' around

At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town

He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask

If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask

Somebody said, from the Bible he quote

There was dust on the man in the long black coat

Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave

He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved

You cannot depend on it to be your guide

When it's you who must keep it satisfied

It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat

One, two...

There are no mistakes in life some people say

It's true sometimes you can see it that way

People don't live or die, people just float

She give her heart to the man in the long black coat

There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June

Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon

Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force

Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse

She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote

She's gone with the man in the long black coat

Right Hand Man

Let me use your toothbrush

Have you got a clean shirt?

My panties in a wad

At the bottom of my purse

I walk into the street

The air's so cool

I'm wired and I'm tired

And I'm grinnin' like a fool

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for my, my...

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

If he can't fix it, I don't know who can

The sinsemilla? salesman

And the cops on the block

They know what I been doin'

They see the way I walk

I wonder what they see now

I wonder what they do

To feel somebody want them

The way I'm wanting you

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for... to really be...

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

Use me up if you think you can

I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair

I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch

And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed...

Lookin' for a bed

Lookin' for my...

My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x)

Say... my right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

My right hand, my right hand man

Say... my right hand, my right hand man (repeat 7x)

If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can

Pensacola

Well, I found him in Pensacola

In a trailer in the sand

The man from the picture

Creased and yellowed in my hand

Creased and yellowed in my hand

He was squinting and stubbled

And standing in the door

He said, if you've come to take the car away

I don't have it anymore

I don't have it anymore

He got the gospel on the radio

And the gospel on tv

He got all of the transcripts

Back to 1963

Back to 1963

He said I sold my blood for money

There wasn't any pain

But I just can't stand the feeling

It's in someone else's veins

It's in someone else's veins

Momma took me aside

And she tried to change my mind

She said, don't waste your time in looking

There's nothing, nothing left to find

Nothing, nothing left to find

So I left him down in Pensacola

In a trailer in the sand

The man from the picture

Creased and yellowed in my hand

Creased and yellowed in my hand

Dracula Moon

Where are the bones on that one

What if the cure is worse than the disease

Serve me up some pretty, pretty people

Serve me up somebody I can believe

Don't feel sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, just let go

You say, come back home

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace

I'm naked in a hotel room

My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear

I'm makin' out with my one true love

I'm makin' this hotel room disappear

Stop feelin' sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, just let go

You say, come back home

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace

I say that like fallin' from grace

You never know it to look at me

A Dracula moon

See love come down any way you want to

Doesn't ask for your permission

Open up your arms and we will break you in too(two?)

Stop feelin' sorry for me

I hate that look on your face

You say, just let go

You say, come back home

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace

I say, I'm just fallin' from grace...

Just fallin'

Just fallin'...

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world

One Of Us

If God had a name, what would it be

And would you call it to His face

If you were faced with Him in all His glory

What would you ask if you had just one question

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home

If God had a face, what would it look like

And would you want to see

If seeing meant that you would have to believe

In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the Saints

And all the Prophets and...

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home

Tryin' to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Yeah, yeah, God is great

Yeah, yeah, God is good

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us

Just a slob like one of us

Just a stranger on the bus

Trying to make His way home
[ ALBUM: Relish lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Just tryin' to make his way home

Like a holy rolling stone

Back up to Heaven all alone

Just tryin' to make his way home

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Ladder

Today and every day (repeat 4x)

I'm standin' here in your closet

Unbuttonin' all your clothes

I sleep in your bed tonight

But I never find you home

You're givin' me crooked answers

I'm crackin' your little code

I'm learnin' another language

So full it's about to explode

You give me a ladder now

I surely believe I'll climb

It don't even matter now

I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway

Today and every day (repeat 2x)

I'm gonna love you anyway

Today and every day (repeat 2x)

I wanted it to be easy

I know that I'll make you tired

Some tell me you're slow and lazy

Some tell me you're so inspired

You wanted a long flirtation

Your plane doesn't ever land

Some things I don't want to look at

I don't want to understand but

You give me a ladder now

I surely believe I'll climb

It don't even matter now

I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway

Today and every day (repeat 2x)

I'm gonna love you anyway

Today and every day (repeat 2x)

Today and everyday...

Spider Web

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night

And he could see just fine

Dreamed about Ray Charles last night

And he could see just fine, you know

I asked him for a lullaby

He said, "Honey, I don't sing no more"

No more, no more, no more

Ray don't sing no more

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back,

My voice has just deserted me.

No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more...

I stay in bed with MTV."

Then Ray took his glasses off

And I could look inside his head

Flashing like a thunderstorm

I saw a shining spider web

Spider web (repeat 3x)

In Ray Charles' head

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night

He took me flying in the air

Showed my own spider webs

Said, "Honey, you had best take care.

The world is made of spider webs

The threads are stuck to me and you

Be careful what you're wishing for

'Cause when you gain you just might lose"

You just might lose your...

Spider web (repeat 3x)

What Ray Charles said

When you're feelin' lonely

When you're hidin' in your bed

Don't forget your string of pearls

Don't forget your spider web

When I go to sleep tonight

Don't let me dream of brother Ray

No, no, no, don't...

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees

Just like him best the other way

Spider web (repeat 3x)

What Ray Charles said...

In Ray Charles head

All I got's my spider web

Keepin' me alive

C'mon Ray

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's Just Get Naked

I know what you're hidin' from me

You know what I'm hidin' from you

I know that you hurt me real bad

You know that I hurt you bad too

Let's just get naked

Just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half

Here comes that story again

All about that television show

Here comes my typical response

Won't you tell me something I don't know

And I'm pissed off about bein' the cops

And you're pissed off about bein' the maid

And how long till they shut off the phone

Till the next time we get laid

Let's just get naked

Just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half...

A trip and a half

We've been together so long

I hope it wasn't just the drugs

What happened to the energy we had

The morning glories and the rodeo hugs

And I know you like the back of my hand

With a stamp that says I paid to get in

And yes I am your television show

And you're the nicest place I've ever been

Let's just get naked

Just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It wouldn't be so bad...

Let's just get naked

Just for a laugh

Let's just get naked

It's a trip and a half...

Help Me

You gotta help me baby, I can't do it all by myself (repeat 2x)

If you don't help me daddy

Gotta find somebody else

Put on your nightshirt baby, hand me my morning gown (repeat 2x)

Don't feel sleepy

I just feel like lyin' down

Gotta help me baby, help me baby

Can't do it all by myself

If you don't help me daddy

Gotta find somebody else

Oooh, real quiet, real quiet, real quiet...

You gotta help me baby, gotta help me baby

Help me baby (repeat 2x)

Oooh, oooh, oooh...

Just want a little lovin' before you pass away (repeat 2x)

Don't help me daddy, I'm gonna find somebody else...

Crazy Baby

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful

As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette

Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness

You forget...

Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with

And you're cryin' every time you turn around

And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up

Off the ground...

Oh, my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh, my crazy baby

Don't put out the light...

The light, the light, the light

And they look at you like they don't speak your language

And you're living at the bottom of a well

And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets

But you can't tell...

Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together

But you cannot bear to walk outside your door

No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror

Anymore...

Oh, my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh, my crazy baby

Don't put out the light...

The light, the light, the light

And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful

As your worries climb around inside your clothes

Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness

Heaven knows...

Oh, my crazy baby

Try to hold on tight

Oh, my crazy baby

Don't put out the light...

The light, the light, the light

The light...

Lumina

Lumina

Come and wrap around me

Lumina

Take me through the snow

Eve took a train, Eve took a train

Went to see her man

Melting inside, melting away

Like butter in the pan

Lumina

Come and wrap around me

Lumina

Take me through the snow

Eve took a fruit, Eve picked a fruit

Juice ran down her chin

Babies will put things in their mouths

Never heard of sin

Lumina

Open like the sea

Lumina

Sing me in the dark

Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask

What is wrong with this

Here is the place, now is the time

Let's invent the kiss

Lumina

Come and wrap around me

Lumina

Come and wrap around me...
