Rust

The sun rose over the fog
As we crossed the transitway
A slow-burning beginning to
A slow-burning day
Slow-burning day
Slow-burning day
Slow-burning day
Slow-burning day
Like a colorful dream
That fades and turns to dust
I'm gonna hold it in my hand
And let the rain turn it to rust
Turn it to rust
Turn it to rust

Next To You
04:15

There is truth in the song
Even though the song's not true
You were right all along
I should have been
Next to you
There is smoke
Where there is desire
There are lies
Where there is fire
Love got you by
When I should have been
At your side
Tail lights in the night
Cigarettes and alibis
The fall winds were not kind
Set me up to cut me down to size
The pain
Will make you high
And the peace
Will make you cry
At the crossroads
Where I stood with pride
When I should have been
At your side
I should have been
At your side

Rain, Fire, Sun

I was a cloud that you seeded with rain
I brought the storm in
You brought the pain
We were flying so high
we disappeared into the night
Stars burning down all around us in the sky
Up all night
All night
I was the fire, you brought the smoke
I paid for the laughter
You bought the jokes
You cried all night while stars fell from the sky
Love all around was burning up in the night
Up all night
All night
I don't know how it happened
I guess we got to close to the sun
I don't know how it happened
They say you can't look at the sun
Look at the sun
Look at the sun

Sewer steam morning
Sundog glory
Just another lonely kid telling
The same old story
Yeah, you know the one because you
Finished it for me
It’s a song with no refrain
Whoa oh oh oh
Whisper in the microphone
Send a signal to Sol
They play it on the radio, but only
When I’m all alone
Then you turn the dial
Leave the notes in the snow
From a song with no refrain
Whoa oh oh oh
This is the end to a song I never wrote
Started in the wrong key and it
Ended on a bad note
This song with no refrain
Wrap it up deep and low
Like notes buried in the snow
Their signals lost to Sol
Whoa oh oh oh
This is the end to a song I never wrote
Started in the wrong key and it
Ended on a bad note
This is the end to a song I never wrote
Started in the wrong key and it
Ended on a bad note
This song with no refrain
Whoa oh oh oh

Turpentine
03:08
|

|
I gassed up the car to make a quick getaway
They found me at the next bar
Never was a good runner anyway
So keep me out of trouble
And keep my pain off to the side
Where the love spills like wine
And hate is like turpentine
Turpentine
Turpentine
Turpentine
Turpentine
It's like being in someone else's home movie
You're not supposed to see me
When I walk through the scene
So just ignore the man on the corner of the screen
It's only me honey
It's only me
And if I wake in the morning with the taste of turpentine in my mouth
I'm gonna spit it out
And let the wine spill around
Spill around
Spill around
Spill around
Spill around
I gassed up the car to make a quick getaway
They found me at the next bar
Never was a good runner anyway

Mower County Line

Nothing but plowed fields
As far as the eye can see
Each furrow's a reminder of you to me
Time seems to travel
As the crow flies
It's leaving me behind
Out here on the Mower county line
So if you're goin' into town
Stop in and see me
On your way down
Or if you don't have the time
I'll understand
If you pass me by
When you're traveling
As the crow flies
'Cause my friends and family
Used to smile
They knew things about me
You wouldn't find out
For a little while
So it's alright
If you need
To pass me by
Nothing but plowed fields
And tail lights
To remind me of you tonight
Time still travels
As the crow flies
It's leavin' me behind
Out here on the Mower county line
Out here on the Mower county line
