The first thing you do When you leave this place Get a brand new tattoo And a smile on your face There’s a man at the door Well he’s taking names It’s a round-up for the Whole human race Well I knew nothing Of the tablets & gin Drowning in booze Once again The moon is above And the earth below We’re stuck in the middle With nowhere left to go It’s the folly of the doomed And the day of the dying soul One more lost weekend Takes its toll In a world without men In a world without eyes Gonna leave this place Without no ties Gonna leave this place Without no ties
2.
Save no souls Save them now Burn the city and Burry the plow Scorch the Earth Break the vow Cut the heads Feed the beast Save nobody in the very least Torch the flag Flame the house Crash the gate Cut off the heads “End Times Now” I heard someone said Call to arms And we’re breaking the waves
3.
There’s a place to go No one knows Well it’s just a shed Inside your head You disappear I reappear Look through the glass It’s fading fast In a time of thieves They only gather leaves In a world undone Nothing ever comes It’s just a shed Burning in your head It’s just a shed Burning in your head In a world without lies There are no ties In a world without eyes There are no cries In a world without eyes
4.
Under a desert moon I shadow over you The smoke and the talk Between the pills and the alcohol Days of silent rain We’re locusts lost in the night Between the dusk and the train Time marches clear moonlight We live like kings Another city in another time She was a writer of crime I was spending my time In the Other Room They played a silent tune Between the dusk and the dawn When the light flickers on Lost locusts in the night We’re flying by the clear moonlight Days of heaven again Where we feel no pain Days of heaven have come Under the silent rain
5.
Get under the earth Sink into the sand This must be the place Where they touch god's hand She's over the night In a far off room They sing it in the morning And it rings out at noon We kissed on the train Slipped on the rain She fell through the door On a windowpane The house and walls They cry at the moon The men are all weeping And the clocks are out of tune Someone here’s got the desert blues The desert blues The bridges burn The white sands blow An old man sings Nowhere else to go You follow the footprints Paved with gold There’s a light in your eye It’s a thousand years old Someone here's got the desert blues The desert blues
6.
Falling Sun 02:17
Alone again at the kitchen sink You rolled over another drink In a dream I walked through the woods alone There’s an old tree and a garden there We never seem to go anywhere Walking through the woods alone Roll down the road Or so I’m told You sit alone it's the only way The years they just fall away It's only the same old song Sad and lonely is not a thing Falling suns and repeating dreams We walk through the streets alone Well the falling sun takes you there We’re counted out and going nowhere We walk through the streets alone This one here went away
7.
Well I’m stuck at home Got nothing to do Move the chairs Organize my shoes The world outside Is burning down I can’t go out Out on the town I got the q-time blues The quarantine blues Got me the quarantine blues There’s no one around Nobody home I got nothing to do All alone Move the chairs Organize my shoes There’s nothing to do To keep off the blues Stuck all alone Nobody nobody nobody Stay at home Don’t move around Stay off the phone There’s no one in town Nothing to do I got nothing to do Organize my shoes Nothing to do I got the q-time blues The quarantine blues Got me the quarantine blues I got the quarantine blues I’m stuck all alone Nobody around Nobody Well the world outside Is burning down I can’t go out Out on the town
8.
I’m gonna walk the streets I’m gonna find some life It’s where we live It’s where we die When we walk We sink in our shoes When we speak We talk of the blues A place that time left behind Break out the talking blues There ain’t no promise land Across the sea So sit back down And have a drink with me When we walk We sink in our shoes When we speak We talk of the blues A place that time left behind Break out the talking blues Crawl across some open space Interface with the human race I’m gonna find the people who live Beyond time You ramble and I roll Through fields of burning coal When the sky falls down red We know it’s time to go When we walk We sink in our shoes When we speak We talk of the blues A place that time left behind Break out the talking blues
9.
Moon Cult 01:43
People of the moon where they got no eyes But they see the future in darkened skies We live forever in the shadows of the sun When the Earth falls dead they’ve just begun
10.
Family plots and graveyard lots Jung’s dream and other extremes Shipwrecked souls on an island of bones The modern mystics do they know what it means Well the birds take flight Into the night There’s terror in the sky Killing time on a Mexican dime The city is gone in an age of decline Oh yes the birds take flight Into the night There’s a terror in the sky A lunar caustic has turned to stone Dead feather bed and a midnight drone Shadows of the moon fall into your room Well the birds take flight Into the night There’s terror in the sky Killing time on a Mexican dime The city is gone in an age of decline Oh yes the birds take flight Into the night
11.
I don’t know if I was here before A town called Yesterday Pictures posted on a wall I can’t remember my way Stone city, a broken bridge Ancient alleyways I thought I saw you Down that phantom highway We’re lost beneath the words Of nothing else to say We’re lost beneath the words Of nothing else to say A town called Yesterday
12.
Well the man in Berlin He lives by a code A lonely voice On a dusty road He follows the moon Wherever it goes He doesn’t know He doesn’t know No man’s land The steel and the stone This place remains unknown He follows the moon Wherever it goes He came upon a dead white rose A dead white rose Dead white rose He follows the moon Wherever it goes He came upon a dead white rose A dead white rose Dead white rose Well the souls are gone But the ghosts remain A blackened time A history saved He follows the moon Wherever it goes He came upon a dead white rose A dead white rose Dead white rose
13.
There’s a beast in the road Wondering where to go Is it East or a no Well I wonder where to go Wonder where to go There’s a fork in the road Well I wonder where to go Is it in my soul Is it in my soul In my soul There’s a beast in the road Wondering where to go Is it East or a no Is it in my soul In my soul Raven in the road
14.
I was born for the revolution I got no conscience no constitution People tearing down the institution Burn down the past with no retribution I’ll cast my vote for devolution Don’t ask me for absolution It’s just a way to a non-solution In the end it’s all sound pollution I was born for the revolution Don’t wanna talk about persecution Got no conscience no constitution It's just personal prostitution No discussion no resolution Personal prosecution prostitution
15.
People living people dying alone Across the fields of the eurozone A town torn down, no telephones No more words and no place to go Stephen Hawking, he talks with his eyes When the world ended it wasn’t a surprise Time rolled right through his room And the sun was dead just before noon No more words and no place to go Falling down hard, down in the hole One train running then I’m gone There’s one train running then I’m gone Malcolm Lowry slept when he died The mountains bellowed, the clouds cried Old waves roll they never die You take forgiveness right in the eye There’s one train running then I’m gone There’s one train running then I’m gone
16.
When the truth becomes a waste of time Don't stop don't analyze turn off your mind When the past is wiped from memory When a war is fought to bring about peace Deep state mind Trotsky was killed in a paranoid rage Recall the firewalls that’s a sign of our age In ‘67 Newark burned all the way to the ground The revolution’s gone deep underground Install the wrecking ball Install it now Burn down the old regime Burn it down to the ground Recall the firewalls Install the wrecking ball Deep state mind
17.
Under darkened streets There’s a place we meet By the walls and the stone The floors cold as bone No one’s gonna make it There’s no one gonna make it home Home There’s a life outside Well he’s a soul alone Looks like a stolen sun That’s a still life alone Going home No one gonna make it Home Hard to move Hard to groove You make it as you go But you end up alone
18.
He’s a man on the run with a gun He left his home he left his son Deep in the middle of the night A Greyhound bus takes flight It’s a white-hot Arizona night People on the street going by It’s the world in the blink of an eye Well she’s hooked on pills and wine Said it’s the very last time An angel on the road going by Alone at the end of the run A man in the middle of his life It’s a red-blood end in sight
19.
She took a desert trip On a crystal ship It was a moonlight drive She keeps it alive Alright She got a Shelby GT from 1970 She keeps it tight She rides it at night Alright She works the midnight shift At the Shop and Thrift On Saturday night She keeps it alive Alright
20.
Well I sailed to sea On a Somali ship It went up in flames My life drifted by me Dead souls in the rain They feel no pain Well I fell asleep And I woke up dead Jung spoke to me Words burning in my head I’m just digging ditches On a mountain top A white line shines upon An empty graveyard Dead souls in the rain They feel no pain
21.
Voice #5 06:38
Esperanto on the tongue Live your life like it's just begun Tuesday tram cigarette man The hours die close to hand There’s a man on the lam He rides alone with a piece in his hand He falls asleep along the route Nothing left when you hit the root Time shouts across the vine We’re all living on borrowed time Fall asleep wake the dead Leave the house burn the rest Time falls asleep in the afternoon sun Live your life like it's just begun Voice # 5 Voice # 5
22.
Sun Ship 03:39
Sun ship Take a ride One trip To the other side New dawn Let it in Open up Begin again Sun ship Take a ride One trip To the other side Open up Let it in New dawn Begin again
23.
Enter three witches upon the heath The future is written beyond reach One of them swaying in slow relief Somebody seeking a moment of peace The king is gone without a trace No new prophet for the human race Time falls asleep in the noon day sun Walk down the road as a new day dawns Enter three witches In the garden of the weeping tree He sits there writing ancient history Sometimes the past is yours to see He lives his life as a mystery
24.
Well I never saw it coming There was none else around Between the living and the dead Neither one ever makes no sound By the light of the Atlas moon Black swan walking down Behind a long black veil Something else is going down Shaman for Sunday
25.
There's a window behind the sun When your day is done You gotta roll on down find the sun Find the sun Meet me anywhere Red light in your hair Gonna roll on down find the sun If you gotta run When your day is done You gotta find the sun Roll on down the sun There’s a light on in your mid It's gonna take some time Gotta roll on down that road Find the sun When your day is done I’m gonna meet you there Anywhere Find the sun
26.

Closing Time 01:46
If it’s closing time Well get on board They call for closing time I gotta order one more If it's closing time I’m gonna crawl across the floor Closing time I gotta get me one more Cause if it’s End Times Now Well you better be sure The good times are gone All across the land Let’s go overboard Hand in shaky hand Cause it’s End Times Now If it’s closing time I gotta get me one more
