I woke in the nighttime,
But you awoke first
You got up and got out from a love that had been cursed
And I got a boy, he don't see much at all,
So we both lay there silent staring at holes in the wall

Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
(6x)

He's holding you tight,
Who'd ever wanna let you go?
I'd burn down ever promenade just to find and let you know
But I ain't done nothin'
I ain't even found a trace,
Of the perfect things we found together
And the dreams I should have chased

Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
(6x)

Can't sleep, can't think, can't cry, can't scream, can't lose my mind
The only thing I think about is the one thing I can't find,
My boy he sleeps, he sits, he watches me this way
I know that he can't hear me but he knows the one thing that I say,

Boy, Mama don't come no more
Mama won't come no more
(6x)

I, I'm a good hearted man
And you, you're a sad, sad girl
And together, we are free
But without you, I can't see
So one day, let me home
Back to you

And I, I'm a sad old man
And you, you're such a - you're a cruel, cruel girl
And together, we are free
But without you, I can't see
So one day, let me home
Back to you

And together, we are free
But without you, I ain't me
So one day, let me home
Back to you
(2x)

You said you want to be outside and you want to feel alive
I said I didn't want to move I just wanted to survive
So I sit here waiting for the sun to come
And I watched it rise like we'd never done

I want to kill myself just to kill all the pain
But then you'd know you'd feel like you're the one to blame
You were just too young and just too smart
Probably the best candidate for a broken heart

Rock and roll my little girl
Rock and roll in your big big world

Rock and roll my little girl
Rock and roll in your big big world

In a drunken state I call your name
From the bottom of my soul to the blood in my veins
Those days in the car when I couldn't pull through
You sang to me and all I wanted was you

I cant seem to do anything right anymore
How the days are so long and the nights are a blur
I want you to know that I'll always be the only one there
While you listen to his heartbeat
While he runs his hands through your hair

Rock and roll my little girl
Rock and roll in your big big world

Each day he works past the 9 to 5
Tell me tell me how does he know if you're even still alive
You made a portrait of myself and it made me cry
And through all the tears I lost I looked myself in the eye

What kind of man have I become that I have to let this go
Fate has made a fool of me I'll reap now what I sow
We were just two people alike indignity
Felt the ancient grudge to the mutiny of me

And I guess this is where we'll end our scene
Where my civil blood leaves my seething hands unclean

Rock and roll my little girl
Rock and roll in your big big world

I see blood on the horizon
The moon is half from full
City lights are lighting up and you're late coming home from school
And I'm the fool for loving you.
For loving you, seems a man can lose his way
When his desires turn his love afraid
When we were kids we played games in the dark
Underneath the castles that had sheltered us from the loneliness of every being apart
And that's the way that love turned out for me.
Love turned out for me.
I am colored nightmares
And you are black and white
And it's in the photographs my mind makes up at night
And I'm a fool for loving you
For wanting you
How your hands fell around my neck
Our love was a sacrament.
When we were kids we played games in the dark
Underneath the castles that had sheltered us from the loneliness of every being apart
And that's the way that love turned out for me
Love turned out for me
Love turned out for me
Love turned out for me
When we were kids we played games in the dark
Underneath the castles that had sheltered us from the loneliness of every being apart

I loved a girl once
And she was very young
Everyday I wonder
What I could've done

Now she's sitting somewhere
Where the walls are all white
Losing herself underneath
Those fluorescent lights

Each day goes by
Where the world looks the same
Where the seasons come and change
But I find myself the way I came

And I've lost all the things
That I lost in you
From losing ourselves
In each other like we use to do

Time moves on and those moments
That I held in my heart each day
Have now disappeared

Oh well the mountains stare at the face of the sun
The sky smiles down on everyone
We all wonder what we could've done
We end up passing one by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one

Like a flower dancing
By the side of the wind
Like a tree growing thin
I had nothing to believe in
Cause now the wind blows through me
On the side of the road
Like a freight train
Howling in the belly of my soul

Now the ocean's nestled
In a blanket of stars
Dreaming by the streetlights
Dreaming by a freeway of cars

The mountains stare at the face of the sun
The sky smiles down on everyone
We all wonder what we could've done
We end up passing one by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one

I lost my brother when I was very young
To a drug he never knew
Cause he could not remember what he'd done
It was my first taste of fear in the hospital hall
Staring through a window at his eyes
That were black as coal
And even though something inside of him died
He left the room a different person
But he made it out alive

Oh he'd switch our cereals in the morning
Out of fear of being poisoned
By the people that had raised him
By the people that put him here

Oh but time moves on
And those moments
That I held in my heart each day
Have now disappeared

Oh the mountains stare at the face of the sun
The sky smiles down on everyone
We all wonder what we could've done
We end up passing one by one
One by one
One by one

The mountains stare at the face of the sun
The sky smiles down on everyone
We all wonder what we could've done
We all end up passing one by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one
One by one

i was destined for greatness
it's what my mother once told me
but now that i'm older
the future don't see the way she sees
whiskey and the blues
tissues i can't use
they don't dry it up
i don't use 'em no more

alice oh alice
where have ya been
there's light at the window
and it slowly pinches in
alice oh alice
time and misery
it moves rather slowly
it's the only way i see

i was destined for greatness
it's the way it shoulda been
but now that i'm older
i don't know what i wound up in

oh whiskey and the blues
a language i can't use
it don't dry it up
no one listens anymore

alice oh alice
where have ya been
it's light at the window
and it slowly pinches in
alice oh alice
misery and time
it moves rather slowly
but at least i know it's mine

alice oh alice
where have ya been
it's light at the window
and it slowly pinches in
alice oh alice
misery and time
it moves so slowly
but i know for sure it's mine

All of my trains
they all roll on by
burried again, I remember who I am

Well I woke outside to threes a crowd
the summer was festering down
blood inside a honey jar, i'd stuck myself from the beating car
drew my eyes open like --- chimney smoke through lazer grass
sayin put on my black work horse boots
and heading past the business suits
as water and lillies over streams, rivers and brands and coffee beans,
pistol vision in my hands, i want to see my blood across the sand

morning always looked like you
morning always looked like you
and from my window the only view
is you walk away not looking

all of my trains
my life spent away
in the dark of my veins
oh nothing can stay

i continue through a back lit world
where the willows bend like long black curls
down your face from mine through the kinks in your spine
from the last thing that we spoke to the very first line
love was something that we couldn't help but do
that something turned to someone else, somebody new
i just love to love and you love to cry
i meant it through each second that we said goodbye

and i came up past a station where the floors were all blue
something bout the way it looked reminded me of you
it might have been how far i'd come
so i dropped a match till the floor was gone

all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains

and i lit the thread across the station door
and took each drink, i hit the floor
the station tessled up in flames
but i could only read the bottles name
and i wound it's breast and turned it dry
like the wake of summer from July
i got up and tripped over my knees
which caved in at the slightest breeze

morning always looked like you
morning always looked like you

all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains
i let them all go
all of my trains
i thought you should know
i thought you should know
i thought you should know
i thought you should know
(x2)
