Between Two Rivers

you could tell by the cigarette
and she by the look on your face
you're quiet, I mean, it's been quiet
yea, I know
it's just that these small-town roads
they keep wearing me down
and I really wanna go
I wanna go now
'cause I'm afraid, and I keep thinking
there's something wrong with me
and I'd rather not find out
I'd rather look away
you're looking for a reason to move
to a better place
you could tell by the cigarette
and she by the look of your place
between two rivers
and the mountains that keep flowing by
between two rivers
the sadness that's in their smiles
between two rivers
the silence of the forest streams
between two rivers
in the middle of our dreams
you could tell by the way she's standing
and she by the look on your face
there's a stream that goes back to hell
and then there's that other place
we've been riding along the river banks
for a hundred days
now it's a pitch black truth
that goes both ways
between two rivers
and the mountains that keep flowing by
between two rivers
the sadness that's in their smiles
between two rivers
the silence of the forest streams
between two rivers
in the middle of our dreams
you keep bringing up the sun
two kids are on the run
between two rivers

When I Left the Town

when I left the town
the prairie sang its dusty song
with a croaky voice
or a misty croon
on the sand-washed tracks
of a man long gone
verse with no words
chorus of curses
fumbling steps
and a tremulous beat
that rises like the tide
and comes down with the moon
I might be here by your side now
but I might be gone by tomorrow
tend the fire
keep my bed made
pay heed to the vultures
there's too much at stake
and too many mistakes
on the shores of
this dark lake
I might be gone by tomorrow
but I will be back another day
I might be here by your side now
but I might be gone by tomorrow
when I'm not around
something from beneath the waves
from the nightmare scenes, oh no
might creep up and between
your sheets

Bury Me by the Roadside
04:08

I've got ghosts riding in the backseat
and a black heart pumping gas
I've got two moons in the headlights
too many miles before the last
I've got an ashtray full of failures
and gun in the glovebox
in the rear mirror, a shadow of failure
is still chasing me
got on my knees
I don't know any of these roads
nor do I know when's the next stop
the things we figured out together
will be burnt before I'm there
two cups of coffee
I told myself "I love me"
And then succumb
to another night
that's still chasing me
got on my knees
I got in a black hole
and I can't find my way out
but I can hear you singing
through the cracks in the sky
I got in a black hole
and I can't find my way out
but I can see a dim hope
through each cloudless night
whiff of disinfectant
to feel closer to death
in this sterile world
we die in masses
bury me by the roadside
that's where all my friends are
no doubt, still chasing me
I got on my knees
still chasing me
