I found God On the corner of First and Amistad Where the west Was all but won All alone Smoking his last cigarette I said, Where you been? He said, Ask anything.
Where were you When everything was falling apart? All my days Were spent by the telephone That never rang And all I needed was a call It never came To the corner of First and Amistad
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, You found me
In the end Everyone ends up alone Losing her The only one who’s ever known Who I am Who I’m not, and who I want to be No way to know How long she will be next to me
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, You found me
Early morning The city breaks I’ve been calling For years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages You never sent me no letters You got some kind of nerve Taking all I want
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why’d you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, You found me
Why’d you have to wait To find me, to find me?

I’ve seen this one before, the girl she gets away Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I’m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
It’s a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture On his wall and it’s a sailor in a new port every night Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent
Is this all we get to be absolute
Quiet but I’m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear
All we are and all we want 40 years come and gone All we are in photographs Will never be taken
Quiet but I’m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want you here Quiet but I’m sure there is something here Tell me everything cause I want to hear.

Download album Working On A Dream
Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely I think of you and I’m working on a dream I’m working on a dream
Now the cards I’ve drawn’s a rough hand, darling I straighten the back and I’m working on a dream I’m working on a dream
Come on!
I’m working on a dream Though sometimes it feels so far away I’m working on a dream And I know it will be mine someday
Rain pourin’ down, I swing my hammer My hands are rough from working on a dream I’m working on a dream
Let’s go!
I’m working on a dream Though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay I’m working on a dream Well our love will chase trouble away
Alright!
[whistling interlude] That’s professional whistling right there!
I’m working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I’m working on a dream Our love will make it real someday
The sun rise up, I climb the ladder The new day breaks and I’m working on a dream I’m working on a dream I’m working on a dream I’m working on a dream
Hey!
I’m working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I’m working on a dream Our love will make it real someday I’m working on a dream Though it can feel so far away I’m working on a dream And our love will make it real someday.

There’s a wonderful world where all you desire And everything you’ve longed for is at your fingertips Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air At the end of each working day she’s waiting there
I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket As the evening sky turns blue A dream awaits in aisle number two
With my shopping cart I move through the heart Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware That they’re in the presence of something wonderful and rare The way she moves behind the counter Beneath her white apron her secret remains hers As she bags the groceries her eyes so bored And sure she’s unobserved
I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket There’s nothing I can say Each night I take my groceries and I drift away And I drift away
Guidance from the gods above At night I pray for the strength to tell her When I love I love I love I love her so Take my place in the check-out line For one moment her eyes meet mine I’m lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up
I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket Though her company cap covers her hair Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there The beauty waiting there
I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
As I lift my groceries in to my car I turn back for a moment and catch a smile That blows this whole fucking place apart
I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I’m in love with the Queen of the Supermarket.

With you I don’t hear the minutes ticking by I don’t feel the hours as they fly I don’t see the summer as it wanes Just a subtle change of light upon your face
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away This is our kingdom of days
I watched the sun as it rises and sets I watched the moon trace its arc with no regret My jacket ’round your shoulders, the falling leaves The wet grass on our backs as the autumn breeze drifts through the trees
Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do You whispered “then prove it, then prove it, then prove it, to me baby blue”
When I count my blessings and you’re mine for always We laughed beneath the covers and count the wrinkles and the grays
Sing away, sing away, sing away, sing away Sing away, sing away, my darling, we’ll sing away This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days.

Outlaw Pete…
He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail At six months old he’d done three months in jail Here at the bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet All he said was “Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete.”
I’m Outlaw Pete! I’m Outjaw Pete! Can you hear me?
At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal And they rode around and ’round on heaven’s wheel Father Jesus, I’m an outlaw killer and a thief And I slowed down on Lee and I saw my grief
I’m Outlaw Pete! I’m Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me?
They cut his trail of tears across the countryside And where he went, when he wept and died One night he woke from a vision of his own death Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res And as the smooth ?fairy? he held that beautiful daughter to his chest
I’m Outlaw Pete! I’m Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the ? He said, “Pete, you think you’ve changed, but you have not.” He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shot him ?let it start? He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart Dan smiled as he layed in his own blood dying in the sun And whispered in Pete’s ear, “We cannot undue these things we’ve done.”
You’re Outlaw Pete! You’re Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top He watched the hawk on a desert ?? slip and slide Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his bony side
Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair And braids a piece of Pete’s buckskin chaps into her hair
Outlaw Pete! OutJaw Pete! Can you hear me? (x13)

A bang then stardust in your eyes A billion years for just this night In a way it will be alright
A blackness then the light of a million stars As you slip into in my car The evening sky strikes sparks
This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect
At night at my telescope alone This emptiness I’ve roamed Searching for a home
The stars, a brief string of shining charms Rushing in right out of our arms Into the drifting dark
This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect
This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest
We reach for starlight all night long But gravity is too strong Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on
Then a million sighs cresting were you stood A beauty in the neighborhood This lonely planet never looked so good
This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect
This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest.

There’s a pillar in the temple where I carved your name There’s a soul sitting sad and blue Now the remedies you’ve taken are all in vain Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
Darling I can’t stop the rain Or turn your black sky blue Well let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
Well now our truth lay shattered, we stood at world’s end There’s a dead sun rose in view As if any of this matters, a kiss my friend Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
Darling we can’t stop this train When it comes crashing through But let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
On the bench you lie all is nails and rust And the love you’ve given’s turned ashes and dust When the hope you’ve gathered’s drifted to the wind It’s you and I now, friend (you and I now, friend) You and I now, friend
Here our memory lay corrupted and our city lay dry Let me make this vow to you Here where it’s blood for blood and an eye for an eye Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
Here we bear the mark of Cain But let the light shine through Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do.

We met down in the valley, where the wine of love and destruction flows There in that curve of darkness where flowers of temptation grow I left the rest for the others it was you and nothing else You felt so good to me baby, as good as life itself
You were life itself, rushing over me Life itself, the wind in the black elms Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes I can’t make it without you
I knew you were in trouble, anyone could tell You carried your little black book from which all your secrets fell You squandered all your riches, your, your beauty and your wealth Like you had no further use for, for life itself
You were life itself, rushing over me Life itself, the wind in the black elms Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes I can’t make it without you
Why are things that we treasure most slip away in time ‘Til to the music we grow deaf and to god’s beauty blind Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart
‘Til we fall away in our own darkness Stranger to our own hearts And to life itself, rushing over me Life itself, the wind in the black elms
Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes I can’t make it without you So here’s one for the road Here’s one to your health
And to life itself, rushing over me Life itself, the wind in the black elms Life itself, in your heart and in your eyes I can’t make it without you
Life itself Life itself Life itself Life itself.
