Turn to Now: Lyrics
Here Side
WELCOME TO NOWHERE LAND Beckham/Hyche/Kelly
Welcome to Nowhere Land
Where time does its best to stand still
Where all anybody wants is an uncomplicated thrill
Something in the way the wind comes rushing in
And makes the tall grass bow down
The road I take tempts me with every sin
And in my own thoughts, I might drown
Welcome to Nowhere Land
Where everybody looks straight ahead
Where one step over the line might be the last you tread
Welcome to Nowhere Land
Where nobody gets out alive
Just when you think you're somewhere, you'll find you'll never arrive
Walking in darkness, searching for light
A place where still waters flow
Where everybody wants to tell you what's right
But you already know
Ah, welcome to Nowhere Land
TIRED OF LOVIN' Beckham/Hyche/Kelly
I'm tired of lovin', I've laid down my sword
I'm preachin' freedom like the Holy Word
I won't equivocate, I ain't goin' back
Love is foolish, love is absurd
It can speak so loudly it can't be heard
You just want to be beyond contact
Hey, hey, hey, don't you come my way
I ain't got no time now to fool with you
I'm tired of lovin', I've had plenty of love
What's your deal, what are you tryin' to prove?
I ain't tryin' to prove nothin', I'm keepin' to myself
The past ain't dead, it ain't even past
Not too many things were meant to last
You don't want to be livin' for somebody else
Hey, hey, hey, don't you come my way
I ain't got no time now to fool with you
I'm tired of lovin', I don't need no more
What makes you sure you want to close that door?
What do you hope to find? How 'bout happiness?
Sometimes too much is not enough
It all depends on what you're goin' through
I've got all I need and nothin' to confess
Hey, hey, hey, don't you come my way...
AMONG OTHER THINGS Beckham/Kelly
There are things you think you know and things you know you never will
And other things that take and leave, leave you unfulfilled
If intimations leave you cold, are you frozen out for good?
Is it real, or just a way of staking your claim to being misunderstood?
Don't tell me how to feel
I can see for myself what is real
Everyone wants everything their way
But that's something no one wants to say
Now you're drifting in and out, the lines are dragging slack
Things you once took for granted are gone and they ain't coming back
Are you factoring the future or are you living in the past?
Do you know the difference? Was this thing really, really built to last?
Don't tell me how to feel
I can see for myself what is real
Everyone wants everything their way
But that's something no one wants to say
Suddenly, you realize that everything is standing still
That there are things you think you know and things you know you never will
ONLY HERE AND NOW Kelly
Reassess and rearrange the best that you know how
The best that you know how
The past is not the future, there is only here and now
Only here and now
You can't see with any clarity the what, where or when
What, where, or when?
Who can speak with authority while the wheel is still in spin?
Yeah, the wheel is still in spin
Can I see through your eyes? Can I walk the path you trod?
Can I suffer as you've done and still feel the hand of God?
When does the past become the past?
How do the scales of justice weigh?
Can the balance be corrected?
When will damages be paid?
Every day is greeted by new atrocities
Brand new atrocities
Casual and calculated, high velocity
They're coming high velocity
Separated, isolated, shut in with myself
I'm shut in with myself
Marveling at the substance of the books on my shelf
Yeah, I got books on my shelf
When does the page turn to now? How does the future begin?
What the relative value of things that were and won't be again?
Is it less than we thought?
Is it more than we admit?
Can't you look around and know
That there are no answers fit?
Is what we're looking for the same? Are we too far apart?
Will we get our shit together? Were we doomed from the start?
Was it built into the system?
Were intentions undeclared?
Can the debts be calculated?
Can the damage be repaired?
There's too many questions blowing in the wind
Chasing after answers on which no one can depend
We can talk about the future
And the things we'll disallow
But in the open-ended meantime
There is only here and now
SUSPENSION Beckham/Hyche/Kelly
I got my groove on, but I'm feeling low
You say you love me, but it don't show
I got my groove on, it don't do me no good
'Cause I don't act like people think I should
My vision's clear, but I'm seeing double
I blew away on a broken bubble
My vision's clear and I see the light
To guide my way as I take flight
Hear the warning, rooster crowing
What's happening? I can't say
If you see me coming, run away
I'm a dreamer, but I'm wide awake
I very rarely make the same mistake
I'm a dreamer in a moving stream
Things are never quite what they seem
I'm a rambler, but I'm planted here
I'm seeing far, but I'm thinking near
I'm a rambler in another time
I tend to talk in riddles and rhymes
See the shadows, clouds a-drifting
What's happening? I can't say
If you see me coming, run away
WHISKEY AND WINE Beckham/Kelly
Whiskey and wine don't go good together
Neither will help you your pathway to find
The two of us might love one another
But we don't mix no better than whiskey and wine
Flipping my words without asking permission
Reading my thoughts, you go straight to my head
Whiskey and wine makes you ask the wrong questions
And no matter the answers, you're still flying blind
The two of us used to have conversations
That weren't predicated by whiskey and wine
Whiskey and wine is a bad combination
That boxes you into a bad frame of mind
The two of us, we run hot and run cold
Leave destruction behind, like whiskey and wine
Flipping my words without asking permission
Reading my thoughts, you go straight to my head
Whiskey and wine don't go good together...
Yonder Side
HERE WE REST Kelly
Beautiful as paradise, end to end and side to side
But wounded pride and fallen hopes have inheritance denied
Prone to violence, expressions inarticulate
Elide the subtle variance between prejudice and hate
Here we rest, victims of confusion
Defending rights derived from delusion
Through history winds the tale of generations unfulfilled
Of promises case into flames, of blood coldly spilled
Still, we wait in vain for revelations great or small
A faded world of fervent dreams recedes beyond recall
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Beckham/Kelly
Here in this moment, I've got nothing but time
For reflecting on things that I've said and I've done
But for better and worse, what will it come to
If we're losing our connections to the thread that connects us every one
From where I'm standing, the lay of the land is unclear
Things that once seemed so near now seem so far away
The paths of the moon and stars proceed unaffected
But our vanity makes us believe there are debts that are not ours to repay
Are you happy now, now that everything's breaking apart?
Do you know the difference between true love and a fleeting affair of the heart?
Conversations that never again may be had
Certain questions and answers that disappear into the blue
Like the writing on the wall, it can't be mistaken
Warning us of dreams we never liked believing would come true
Are you happy now, now that time refuses to crawl?
Can you measure the distance between where we stand and where we're bound to fall?
I'm counting the cost of all I've taken for granted
Affirming truths that I know in my heart
Reexamining things in the light of the realization
That I'm closer to the end than I am to the start
But here in this moment, I've got nothing but time...
FLOW Hyche/Kelly
Sometimes the circumstances break
Just right to see you through
Life is just surviving your mistakes
And understanding what's not up to you
THE DISTANCE Kelly
The distance between what I am and what I'll be
Can't be measured by the ways or means of man
Every breath I ever drew, trials and triumphs I've been through
Are penstrokes on the pages of a perfect, finished plan
It's struggling with demons that makes the angels' songs
Such sweet and ceaseless beacons in this gloom
And in a world of dimming light, there's hope, however slight
That we can stumble through the darkness and find ourselves a place
Where glory shines and love stays in bloom
The road is never clear, misfortune ever near
We tend to only miss things when they're gone
Everything we need to know was told us long ago
Like a lifeline to the drowning not seized upon
The time slips away, truth becomes cliché
And people, times, and places come and go
Won't you need a gentle hand to guide you to that land
Of reunion and rejoicing, where peaceful waters flow?
It's struggling with demons that makes the angels' songs
Such sweet and ceaseless beacons in this gloom
And in a world of dimming light, there's hope, however slight
That we can stumble through the darkness and find ourselves a place
Where glory shines and love stays in bloom
Yeah, where glory shines and love stays in bloom
ON MY STREET Fields/Kelly
I've risen to impressive heights, I've flown before the wind
I slipped in through the side door and paid no wage of sin
Now I keep a candle burning to see my hand before my face
On this untrodden path where the swift could win the race
My street is no longer familiar, it's nothing but hills and curves
My neighbors want to dictate what they do and don't deserve
We have nothing left in comment but this endless war of words
Convictions I thought we shared have migrated like birds
It's one side or the other
And the twain no more shall meet
I knew it happened in other places
But now, it's happening on my street
The gospel of disruption resounds from every hill
And every point is argued with an eye toward overkill
It's testing every limit of generosity
While making a religion of grandiosity
We're all adrift together on an endless astral sea
And everything that's done to you is also done to me
We ride the swells and troughs, we search the starless sky
For a glimpse of light to guide us to a place that's warm and dry
Ways and means of information
Displaced and obsolete
If you want to find salvation
You won't find it on my street
Bonus CD Track
ORANGE SEE OF CONFUSION Oates
I dreamed I worried myself sick in a world undone
Suspended by frayed, bare wires that had all come unwound
The whores of convenience with their six-inch heels
Unbuckle sugar daddies, render them beneath their wheels
The preacher is celebrating, he's playing liar's dice
In the orange see of confusion, 'neath an atmosphere of lies
At midnight in her cubicle, where she's only half alone
Amy slips from the whispering glade trying to find her way back home
Conflicted by her two loves, quietus and youth
The light performs illusions while the dark obscures the truth
Now no one can breathe life again into her cold desire
While the orange see of confusion consumes her in its fire
A moment later, I awake, my throat is caked with mud
Dust and dark surround me and my body is drenched in blood
My heart is pounding in my chest, the boards above me quake
I'm tangled in this silk thread as the floorboards begin to break
The day the reverend called to me, I should have run for home
From the orange see of confusion, where no bearing can be found
My fear has now subsided, I embrace the fates
The hunter's moon is shining and the air is cold as slate
It's time to grapple with the truth, no more time for lies
While the violin is playing, the reverend tears the sky
But the accordion is surging and the bajo drives it home
From the orange see of confusion, where we waste away alone

Room Enough: Lyrics

FULL GOSPEL (Hyche/Kelly)
SURE IS FUNNY SOMETIMES HOW A THING TURNS BAD
HOW YOU COME UP MISSING WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD
EVERY TIME I THINK THAT I MIGHT HAVE IT MADE
SOMETHING COMES ALONG TO PUT ME IN THE SHADE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME
TRY TO KEEP IT SIMPLE, TRY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT
KEEP IT ROLLING FORWARD UNDER SHIFTING WEIGHT
IF I GUN THE ENGINE, I MIGHT MISS THE CURVE
IT AIN’T UP TO ME TO SAY WHAT I DESERVE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME
DAYLIGHT TURNS TO DARKNESS, DIAMONDS TURN TO DUST
IS IT FACT OR FICTION? IS IT LOVE OR LUST?
I’M ASKING QUESTIONS, BUT I GET NOWHERE
I’M STUCK IN NEUTRAL WITH NO TIME TO SPARE
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME
JUST KEEP A-GRINDING, KICK OUT ALL THE JAMS
AIN’T NOTHING EASY THAT IS WORTH A DAMN
MY DAY IS COMING IN A COSMIC FLASH
ALL THAT IS PROMISED SOON WILL COME TO PASS
SOMEDAY, THAT LIGHT WILL SHINE ON ME

KNOWING LESS (Kelly)
“ONCE YOU’VE STARTED DOWN THE ROAD,” SHE SAID,
“YOU’RE FOREVER LOOKING BACK, AFRAID OF WHAT YOU’VE FLED”
I SAID, “I DON’T SEE IT LIKE YOU DO
“IF YOU DETACH YOURSELF, FEAR CAN’T FOLLOW YOU”
PROXIMITY PUSHING US APART
WE CAN’T FATHOM WHAT WE CANNOT CHART
I SAID, “THE HORIZON’S JUST A LINE
“YOU CAN SEE BEYOND IF YOU STEP OUTSIDE YOUR MIND”
“MY NEXT STEP IS THE ONE THAT COUNTS,” SHE SAID
“A MIND UNOCCUPIED IS A NEEDLE WITH NO THREAD”
DELUSION REIGNS SUPREME
WE CAN’T RECONCILE OUR SEPARATE DREAMS
DESPERATE FOR SOME CONTACT
WE’RE TOO WILLING TO AMEND THE FACTS
“AND WHEN YOU COME BACK AROUND,” SHE SAID
“THE STREETS DON’T WALK THE SAME, THE AIR IS DAMP WITH DREAD”
I SAID, “CHANGE WILL WORK ITS WAY ON YOU,
“DISTORT THE THINGS YOU SAY, OBSTRUCT YOUR POINT OF VIEW”
“RACING TO STAND STILL
“WE’LL FIND NOTHING TO RELIEVE THE CHILL,”
I SAID...

I DON’T MIND (Beckham/Hyche/Kelly/Ruha)
SHE GOT A STRANGE WAY OF SHOWIN’
THE WAY SHE WANTS ME GOIN’
BUT THE GETTIN’S GOOD AND THE GOIN’S FINE
SO I DON’T MIND
SHE GOT INTRIGUING WAYS OF WAITIN’
WHILE I FINISH HESITATIN’
KNOWIN’ ALL ALONG HOW I’VE BEEN INCLINED
AND I DON’T MIND
NO, I DON’T MIND
I DON’T MIND THE WAY SHE SEES RIGHT THROUGH
ALL MY SELFISH WAYS AND MEANS
JUST AS LONG AS MY AIM IS TRUE
SHE KEEPS ME SHOOTIN’ STRAIGHT AND CLEAN
SHE KEEPS THE WEATHER OUT, SHE KNOWS WHAT I’M ABOUT
AND I DON’T MIND
NO, I DON’T MIND
I DON’T MIND
I SURE DON’T MIND
SHE GOT A WAY OF NOT PRETENDIN’
ABOUT WHAT SHE’S INTENDIN’
AND IT’S ALWAYS RIGHT AND IT’S ALWAYS FINE
SO I DON’T MIND
SHE GOT A WAY OF ASKIN' QUESTIONS
THAT FUNCTION AS SUGGESTIONS
TO LEAD ME TOWARD WHAT I NEED TO FIND
AND I DON’T MIND
NO, I DON’T MIND
I DON’T MIND THE WAY THAT SHE DON’T MIND
THINGS THAT MATTER MOST TO ME
JUST AS LONG AS I WALK THE LINE
SHE’S RIGHT WHERE ALL MY WALKIN' LEADS
SHE IS THE SUN AND MOON, SHE KEEPS ME RIGHT IN TUNE
AND I DON’T MIND
NO, I DON’T MIND
I DON’T MIND
I SURE DON’T MIND
SHE GOT JUST THE WAY OF LOVIN’
TO KEEP MY MIND A-MOVIN’
TOWARD A HIGHER PLANE
WHERE THE STARS ALIGN
AND I DON’T MIND
NO, I DON’T MIND
I DON’T MIND
I SURE DON’T MIND

TRAIN TOWN (Kelly)
IN THE WANING TWILIGHT, THE WHISTLE OF A TRAIN
BLOWS AWAY THE YEARS
AND AS THE EVENING GATHERS, I AM A CHILD AGAIN
WONDERING WHEN THE FUTURE WILL APPEAR
ONCE UPON A TIME, THAT TRAIN STOPPED HERE
PAST TO FUTURE BOUND
BUT THE TIME PASSED ON, AND IT ALL DISAPPEARED
AND LEFT THIS LINGERING ECHO OF A TOWN
PAST TO FUTURE BOUND
SEASONS FADE AWAY
FADE AWAY AS THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN
TO A DIFFERENT DAY
YONDER STOOD THE DEPOT, ACROSS FROM THE HOTEL
TRADE FROM MILES AROUND
THERE ROSE THE WATER TOWER, UNTIL THE DAY IT FELL
BUT BY THEN, THERE WAS NO ONE TO HEAR THE SOUND
PAST TO FUTURE BOUND
SEASONS FADE AWAY
FADE AWAY AS THE WORLD BEGINS TO TURN
TO A DIFFERENT DAY
IN THE BRILLIANT DAYLIGHT, THE WHISTLE OF A TRAIN
BRINGS BACK /ALL THE YEARS
STANDING IN THE MOMENT, I WONDER YET AGAIN
AT THE REASONS THINGS HAVE TO DISAPPEAR

DARLIN' CORY (Traditional)
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, DIG A HOLE IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, GONNA LAY DARLIN' CORY DOWN
WAKE UP, WAKE UP DARLIN' CORY
WHAT MAKES YOU SLEEP SO SOUND
WELL, THAT REVENUE OFFICER'S COMIN'
GONNA TEAR YOUR STILL HOUSE DOWN
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, DIG A HOLE IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, GONNA LAY DARLIN' CORY DOWN
LAST NIGHT, I LAY ON MY PILLOW
LAST NIGHT, I LAY IN BED
LAST NIGHT, AS I LAY ON MY PILLOW
I DREAMED DARLIN' CORY DEAD
WELL, THE CROW, HE FLEW O'ER THE MEADOW
HE FLEW IN FROM THE WEST
TO THE BEDSIDE OF SLEEPIN' CORY
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SHE LOVES BEST
AND ANOTHER CROW, O'ER THE RIVER
HE FLEW IN FROM THE EAST
TO THE BEDSIDE OF SLEEPIN' CORY
THEN HE GIVE HER THE KISS OF PEACE
AND ANOTHER CROW, O'ER THE OCEAN
HE FLEW UP FROM THE SOUTH
TO THE BEDSIDE OF SLEEPIN' CORY
AND PUT A GOLD COIN IN HER MOUTH
AND THE LAST CROW FLEW O'ER THE FOREST
FLEW IN FROM THE NORTH
TO THE BEDSIDE OF SLEEPIN' CORY
SAID, "RISE, MY LOVE, AND COME FORTH"
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, DIG A HOLE IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, GONNA LAY DARLIN' CORY DOWN
THE FIRST TIME I SEEN DARLIN' CORY
WAS SITTIN' BY THE DEEP BLUE SEA
WITH A .44 WRAPPED AROUND HER BODY
AND A BANJO ON HER KNEE
WELL, THE NEXT TIME I SEEN DARLIN' CORY
SHE HAD A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE
WITH A BOTTLE OF MESCAL IN HER RIGHT HAND
SHE WAS HEADIN' IN THAT OTHER GIRL'S PLACE
SO DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, DIG A HOLE IN THE COLD, COLD GROUND
DIG A HOLE IN THE MEADOW, GONNA LAY DARLIN' CORY DOWN

NEED OF SAVING (Beckham/Fields/Kelly/Lasecki)
THE NEED FOR CONFIRMATION IS WEARING ME DOWN
THE FEAR OF CONFRONTATION KEEPS ME UNDERGROUND
I’M FINDING OUT THE HARD WAY WORDS DON’T SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
THOUGH THEY HELP TO FILL THE HOLES THAT SOCIETY DELVES
WELL, I THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS READY FOR SALVATION
TO CONFESS THE SINS OF IGNORANCE AND POVERTY
BUT I SEE NOW I MISREAD THE SITUATION
AND THE ONE IN NEED OF SAVING MIGHT BE ME
THE WEIGHT OF EXPECTATION IS A WELCOME RELIEF
WHEN THE CLAMMY HAND OF COMMERCE PICKS YOUR SOUL LIKE A THIEF
THE PRICE OF OBLIGATION IS WHATEVER THEY SAY
THEY CALCULATE YOUR INTEREST, THEN THEY TAKE IT AWAY
SO YOU THINK YOU’VE DONE THE WORLD A GREAT BIG FAVOR
JUST BECAUSE YOU NEVER QUESTIONED ITS CONCEITS
I JUST HOPE YOU’VE BEEN WELL-PAID FOR YOUR BEHAVIOR
OR WELL-VERSED IN THE ART OF SELF-DECEIT
WELL, I THOUGHT THE WORLD WAS READY FOR SALVATION
TO CONFESS THE SINS OF IGNORANCE AND POVERTY
BUT I SEE NOW I MISREAD THE SITUATION
AND THE ONE IN NEED OF SAVING MIGHT BE ME

CROSS COUNTRY LIMOUSINE (Hyche/Kelly)
OUT ON THE ROAD, TRYING HARD TO RUN AWAY
EVERY EXIT LEADS TO NOWHERE, EVERYTHING IS SO CLICHÉD
JUST TO BREAK INTO THE OPEN, TRY TO SEE WHAT DON’T GET SEEN
AIN’T BUT ONE WAY TO GET THERE: A BIG CROSS COUNTRY LIMOUSINE
IT’S HIGH AND WIDE, LIKE THE MOUNTAINS AND THE PLAINS
WITH ROOM ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO SEE THE DREAM SUSTAINED
IT DON’T PUT OUT BAD EMISSIONS, IT DON’T RUN ON GASOLINE
THERE AIN’T NOTHING THAT AIN’T NATURAL ‘BOUT THAT BIG CROSS COUNTRY LIMOUSINE
SIT BACK AND RIDE OUT THERE OFF THE INTERSTATE
SEE THE PLACES PEOPLE LIVE IN, PLACES LEFT TO THEIR OWN FATES
IN THE DAYTIME OR THE NIGHTTIME — COUNTRY, TOWN OR IN BETWEEN
FOLKS’LL LOVE TO SEE IT COMING, THAT BIG CROSS COUNTRY LIMOUSINE

SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS (Fields)
YOU FORM YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION, BUT FROM THE INCEPTION
IT’S ALWAYS CLOUDED BY PRIDE
BUT WHEN HE STARTS FLYING, THERE’S NO DENYING
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON HIDES
WHAT’S REALLY TRAGIC, HE DON’T HAVE MAGIC
IT’S NOT HIS AURA OR HIS ZEN
BUT WHEN HE STARTS FLYING, THERE’S NO DENYING
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND A WHOLE NEW SET OF FRIENDS
‘CAUSE SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
YOU TICKLE HIM, YOU CHASE HIM, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO FACE HIM
I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE IN YOUR SHOES
YOU’RE TANNED, YOU’RE RESTED, BUT YOU’VE NOT BEEN TESTED
NO, YOU’VE NOT PAID YOUR DUES
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND A WHOLE NEW SET OF FRIENDS
'CAUSE SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
YOU TICKLE HIM, YOU CHASE HIM, YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO FACE HIM
NOW HE’S FRONT-PAGE NEWS
HE’S DOUBLE-BREASTED, HE’S FIRE-TESTED
AND NOW HE’S GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
HE’S NO CREAM PUFF, SO USE YOUR BEST STUFF
TO SMOKE HIM OUT OF HIS DEN
IF HE’S NOT FIGHTING, THERE’S STILL NO DENYING
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
SOME DAYS THE DRAGON WINS
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND A WHOLE NEW SET OF FRIENDS

THE SECOND COMING (Oates, words by W.B. Yeats)
TURNING AND TURNING IN THE WIDENING GYRE
THE FALCON CANNOT HEAR THE FALCONER
THINGS FALL APART; THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD
MERE ANARCHY IS LOOSED UPON THE WORLD
THE BLOOD-DIMMED TIDE IS LOOSED, AND EVERYWHERE
THE CEREMONY OF INNOCENCE IS DROWNED
THE BEST LACK ALL CONVICTION, WHILE THE WORST
ARE FULL OF PASSIONATE INTENSITY
SURELY SOME REVELATION IS AT HAND
SURELY THE SECOND COMING IS AT HAND
THE SECOND COMING! HARDLY ARE THOSE WORDS OUT
WHEN A VAST IMAGE OUT OF SPIRITUS MUNDI
TROUBLES MY SIGHT: SOMEWHERE IN THE SANDS OF THE DESERT
A SHAPE WITH LION BODY AND THE HEAD OF A MAN
A GAZE BLANK AND PITILESS AS THE SUN
IS MOVING ITS SLOW THIGHS, WHILE ALL ABOUT IT
REEL SHADOWS OF THE INDIGNANT DESERT BIRDS
THE DARKNESS DROPS AGAIN; BUT NOW I KNOW
THAT TWENTY CENTURIES OF STONY SLEEP
WERE VEXED TO NIGHTMARE BY A ROCKING CRADLE
AND WHAT ROUGH BEAST, ITS HOUR COME ROUND AT LAST
SLOUCHES TOWARD BETHLEHEM TO BE BORN?

THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR (Bob Dylan)
PRAYED IN THE GHETTO WITH MY FACE IN THE CEMENT
HEARD THE LAST MOAN OF A BOXER, SEEN THE MASSACRE OF THE INNOCENT
FELT AROUND FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH, BECAME NAUSEATED
SHE WAS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY WHILE THE ROOM DETERIORATED
WEST OF THE JORDAN, EAST OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
I SEE THE TURNING OF THE PAGE, CURTAIN RISING ON A NEW AGE
SEE THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR
TRY TO BE PURE AT HEART, THEY ARREST YOU FOR ROBBERY
TAKE YOUR SHYNESS FOR ALOOFNESS, YOUR SILENCE FOR SNOBBERY
I GOT THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING, THE ONE THAT WAS MEANT FOR ME
'BOUT THE MADNESS OF BECOMING WHAT ONE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE
WEST OF THE JORDAN, EAST OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
I SEE THE TURNING OF THE PAGE, CURTAIN RISING ON A NEW AGE
SEE THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT CLAUDETTE THAT WOULDN'T COME BACK TO HAUNT ME?
FINALLY HAD TO GIVE HER UP 'BOUT THE TIME SHE BEGAN TO WANT ME
WELL, I KNOW GOD HAS MERCY ON THE SLANDERED AND HUMILIATED
I'D HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR THAT WOMAN IF SHE'D MADE ME FEEL OBLIGATED
WEST OF THE JORDAN, EAST OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
I SEE THE TURNING OF THE PAGE, CURTAIN RISING ON A NEW AGE
SEE THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR
PUT YOUR HAND ON MY HEAD, BABY, DO I HAVE TEMPERATURE?
I SEE PEOPLE WHO'RE SUPPOSED TO KNOW BETTER, STANDING AROUND LIKE FURNITURE
THERE'S A WALL BETWEEN YOU AND WHAT YOU WANT, AND YOU'VE GOT TO LEAP IT
TONIGHT, YOU'VE GOT THE POWER TO TAKE IT, TOMORROW, YOU WON'T HAVE THE POWER TO KEEP IT
WEST OF THE JORDAN, EAST OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
I SEE THE TURNING OF THE PAGE, CURTAIN RISING ON A NEW AGE
SEE THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR
CITIES ON FIRE, PHONES OUT OF ORDER
THEY'RE KILLING NUNS AND SOLDIERS, THERE'S FIGHTING ON THE BORDER
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT CLAUDETTE? I AIN'T SEEN HER SINCE JANUARY
SHE COULD BE RESPECTABLY WED, OR RUNNING A WHOREHOUSE IN BUENOS AIRES
WEST OF THE JORDAN, EAST OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
I SEE THE TURNING OF A PAGE, CURTAIN RISING ON A NEW AGE
SEE THE GROOM'S STILL WAITING AT THE ALTAR

BACK TO JERICHO (Hyche/Kelly)
SOUND OF DRUMBEATS IN A CAPTIVE COUNTRY
MAMAS THIRSTIN’, BABIES GOIN’ HUNGRY
PAINTED FACES, ENFORCED JUBILATION
ALL JUST DIGITIZED MANIPULATION
GIVE IT UP, ALL UP, AND YOU WON’T GET IT BACK
THE PRICE OF LIVIN’ AIN’T HARDLY ON A DOWNWARD TRACK
GET ON THE TRAIN, GIVE THE MAN YOUR NAME
TELL HIM, “I’M GOIN’ BACK TO JERICHO”
PEOPLE MARCHIN’, PEOPLE DEMONSTRATIN’
FEELIN’ LIKE THEY’RE IN A LIVIN’ NATION
WAVE A-CRESTIN’, GENERATIN’ FORCES
FLOWIN’ TOGETHER FROM A MILLION SOURCES
DAM IT UP, ALL UP, AND THERE’LL BE NO RETURN
SLIP OFF TO ONE SIDE, AND YOU CAN WATCH THE LANDSCAPE BURN
GET ON THE TRAIN, GIVE THE MAN YOUR NAME
TELL HIM, “TAKE ME BACK TO JERICHO”
PERSON TO PERSON, STATION TO STATION
REVOLUTION, RECONCILIATION
A NOBLE CAUSE IS NEVER….LOST OR WON
THE COUNTIN’ DON’T START TILL THE KILLIN’S DONE
KEEP IT UP, KEEP UP, OR YOU’LL BE LEFT BEHIND
THE FLESH IS WILLIN’, BUT YOU BETTER EXERCISE YOUR MIND
GET ON THE TRAIN, GIVE THE MAN YOUR NAME
TELL HIM, “GET ME BACK TO JERICHO”
