Wrong   It was a confluence of calamities A perfect storm of idiocy Most of that - all mine   Wrong place wrong time Wrong situation Wrong wrong wrong   All the way down the line   I mustn't fly and I mustn’t kneel I gotta stay on an even keel Keep my brain cells firing in line   Wrong place wrong time   Wrong situation   Wrong wrong wrong All the way down the line   Say hello to Dr Jekyll Say hello to Mr Hyde Not sure which one you’re going to find   Stay away from the poison man Stay away from the poison   That stuff could kill you - DEAD   Was there something in the footsteps   Something brewing in the night A certain kind of destiny No man could fight   The city has her secrets She has her memories The city's got her justice   Dealt out on the streets   They were talking in some ancient tongue Wondering what good they'd done Thinking maybe they’d been kind of fooled   All along   Say hello to Dr Jekyll Say hello to Mr Hyde Not sure which one you’re going to find   Stay away from the poison man   Stay away from the poison That stuff could kill you - DEAD         Here’s To The Love   Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world   I see dark streets I feel the eyes I know the greed and I know the lies   I watch the blind ambition As the mighty constellations Go screaming across the sky   There’s a faraway war on the radio But it started just down the street I’m sure I’m just as guilty as All the people that I never want to meet   Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world   I see red leaves I see green I know the future And I know the past   I see the beauty I feel the pain If you wait long enough Nothing’s gonna last   And I heard a song on the radio He was singing about Blueberry Hill If time is an ocean There sure is enough of it to kill   Yeah I heard a song on the radio They were singing about Scarborough Fair Inside a million dreams I’ll be waiting for you there   Here’s to the love Here’s to the love you’ve got Shine it Shine it Shine it all around the world         When I Look At You   I try not to get too down Or too excited anymore Gotta stay half way Between the ceiling and the floor   But when I look at you When I look at you I’ve got all I need to get me through   I’ve been watching the birds on the river I’ve seen them trying to survive I’ve given up on wondering What this crazy world’s gonna deliver Given up asking why   But when I look at you When I look at you I’ve got all I need to get me through       Wide Blue Ocean   Now I’m in charge I’m gonna lay down the law It won’t be anything Like it was before   There’ll be no more love And everything that you hate Will be subject to approval Sanctioned by the state   I’m gonna run To the land of the midnight sun Watch wild colors dancing in the sky My head too full to be asking why Why Why   I’ll be transfixed I’ll be spellbound I may not even notice You’re no longer around   Now I’m in the ditch Losing blood Vainly seeking assistance From somewhere above   I wanna fly Way up in the sky I wanna fly High high high   Over the wide blue ocean Into your arms   Now I’ve got a plan I won’t be blown off course By a vortex of vicissitudes Or a mercenary war   I’m gonna live and die by the sword I’ve got mine I’ll take yours   I’m gonna fly Way up in the sky I’m gonna fly High high high   Over the wide blue ocean Into your arms       When The Devil Has His Day   You took my right You took my wrong I told some lies I wrote some songs   And I kiss your lips from a thousand miles away I won’t be dancing on anybody’s grave But when the devil has his day You better not get in his way   I could see the evil in your eyes I was too young too dumb to realize But if I’d have got some good advice Would I have listened anyway   You took my rough You took my smooth I gave my love All to you   I bless your eyes from a thousand miles away I won’t be dancing on anybody’s grave But when the devil has his day You better not get in his way   I’m just trying to fix this broken mind of mine With long walks and sunsets And good old-fashioned time   You took my right You took my wrong I told some lies I wrote some songs   You know this mystery could be divine Not sure I’ll ever be some way inclined But I’m open To suggestions   Now you’re out of touch You’re out of time You had your day And now it’s mine   You can tell your lies from a thousand miles away They won’t be bothering me in any kind of way Cos when the devil has his day I know that I’ll be far away       Breathe   Close your eyes and breathe No one could ever tell you what you should believe   Somehow somewhere someday You might find Some kind Of happy place   With life and death side by side   In some little corner of this crazy ephemeral paradise   Close your eyes and breathe   I don't have any answers if the question is why I guess the day you stop learning is the day that you die And if you stop learning and you're still alive Maybe you die just a little inside   Somehow somewhere someday   Close your eyes and breathe           Through The Cracks In The Pavement   She took the boat into the dark dark sea Just to get away from me She said, I won't pay for your mistakes Anymore I refuse to drown in the consequences Of all your foolish ways   From today Born again All your lights are green Regrets are just a dream I'm sorry For all the stupid things that I've done I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry But I'm not looking for forgiveness   If I was that way inclined Could I go to a confession to ease my troubled mind Would it really be that simple To unload the burden And get into heaven through the back door   Monkey had to go Struck out on his own Through the cracks in the pavement       Drama   Drama drama Had enough of all that   Why you always poking me Provoking me   Won’t you let me be Let me be   There’s a storm raging On the ocean   It ain’t exactly calm Here on dry land   There’s a storm raging On the ocean   There’s a fire in my heart Tonight       We Visit And We Leave   We visit and we leave Our time here is all too brief We visit and we leave   We say hello and we say goodbye We watch the seasons pass us by   We hear the sounds and we see the sights We taste the fruits and we drink the vines   We get consumed by love and hate We find it hard to wait   We realize and we regret The things we worked for And the things we didn’t get   We visit and we leave   We visit and we leave If we’re loved we may be grieved   Or we may just be and then be not Unnoticed left to rot   As in life so in death No one cared enough to check   We visit and we leave   We visit and we leave Our time here is all too brief We visit and we leave   We visit and we leave         Welcome To The Darkness   Welcome to the darkness Hope you brought your memories of the sun It's cold here in the darkness   Now that all the light has gone   I don't wanna wait no more in the darkness   Gotta find my way to the sun No one left to blame for all my cold cold blood I used to love everyone   Down here On these mean streets   Where the good will not survive   Where the evil thrives   Now There is no justice Everybody's on the make Everybody's on the take   I don't wanna wait no more in the darkness Gotta find my way to the sun No one left to blame for all my cold cold blood I used to love everyone           No Accounting For Stupid   No accounting for stupid   No accounting for stupid As the sun goes down No accounting for stupid As the world turns round   No accounting for stupid As the sun goes down No accounting for stupid As the world turns around   There you are   Gotta look to the future There’s nothing else that we can do   Someone’s got to be there for the 3:43 Someone’s got to be there It could be me   There you are   Can’t see the sacred For the color of your lies Can’t see the sacred         Starlight   Starlight - Filling the sky Your love so far away Starlight - Oh what a sight You’re not with me today   I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On this starry night On this starry night   City streets Everything moves so fast When you’re not with me Time just seems to pass so slowly   I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On these city streets On these city streets   Starlight - Filling the sky Your love so far away Starlight - Oh what a sight You’re not with me today   I reach out for you now And we touch We touch somehow On this starry night On this starry night       Be My Love   Come with me Walking in the mountains Come with me Let’s go swimming in the sea   Be my friend through millennia Be my love   Through the tears And with the laughter I will listen While you talk   Be my friend through millennia Be my love   When the sky Captures all your senses Know that I Surrendered just the same   Be my friend through millennia Be my love         On the Night that I Died   On the night that I died I took my first drink at a quarter to five On the night that I died   On the night that I died I was listening to John Prine Singing Lake Marie   He was holding a big guitar Shining like a star Shining like a star   On the night that I died I was thinking about the oceans The stars in the sky The Earth and the trees The birds and the bees And the warmth of the ones I love   On the night that I died On the night that I died   I had a feeling of eternal gratitude Just for knowing you   And I said Before I get out of here Bring me one Irish one bourbon and one beer Give me just a taste of this sweet sweet life One more time   On the night that I died I know that I cried Tears of sadness and tears of joy On the night that I died I’m sure that I smiled Thinking about the journey   On the night that I died On the night that I died         Something Special   I don’t know a thing about music But I like the sound of a single string   I don’t know no DNA How things are made All the numbers that you gave them   But god knows you’re something special I know you’re something special To me   I don’t know a thing about nature But I see diamonds in the snow   I watch the clouds passing by I don’t care how they fly   But god knows they’re something special I know they’re something special To me   From the mountains to the plains In every heart where love remains   Don’t know if it’s worth dying for But I know that it’s worth fighting for   Like a thief in the night You won’t notice til it’s gone A silent assassin You won’t hear it come   Every flood Starts with a single raindrop The drip drip drip of good intentions Til you wash it all away   I don’t know a thing about freedom I take it for granted every day   But I know it’s forged in blood The wasted seeds of the ones we loved   And god knows it’s something special I know it’s something special To me   From the mountains to the plains In every heart where love remains   Don’t know if it’s worth dying for But I know that it’s worth fighting for   Like a thief in the night You won’t notice til it’s gone A silent assassin You won’t hear it come   Every flood Starts with a single raindrop The drip drip drip of good intentions Til you wash it all away   I don’t know a thing about music But I like the sound of a single string       All lyrics written by A.J.
