Storm clouds all around me
There's a lightning at my back
But there's an angel on my shoulder
That's keepin' my on track
No matter how bad I stumble
She's there to catch me when I fall
My angel of forgiveness has been
Around to see it all

I wandered down from nowhere
It was a long time ago
With my images and dreams
My hopes for the best
Giving nothing away
Nothing yet lost

But now I'm going
Going over eden's wall
Won't be back
You can have it all
Take my chances make the run -
Finish standing tall
Cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall

The heat pu an edge on things that Summer
The clock ticking away
Had all the world before me
Except for the ungodly war
Caught in a river, the current took me away
To a wilderness of reverance
Left me hanging by a thread

A splintered prayer an invocation
Born out of chance at dusk
The benediction at sunrise
It's a resonance ringing
Robbed me of my innocence
I'd run out of trust

Cause now I'm going
Going over eden's wall
Won't be back
You can have it all
Take my chances make the run -
Finish standing tall
Cause I'm going, going,
Going over eden's wall

I'm held to the faith
Feeling wounded
That the future unfolds
I could not cry
Like a conversation not always understood
A broken spirit dries the bones
It's architecture and intent revealed a little at a time
I am delivered gone without a trace
I'm running out of time
I've seen beyond the line
The question I weigh
It's not so much the cost
It's what I'm willing to pay

Going, going over eden's wall
Won't be back, no
You can have it all
Take my chances - make the run -
Finish standing tall
Cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall
Goin' over goin' under run right through it
Look out - yeah yeah

Give my best to those I care for
With friends a simple nod will do
I bow to those who've come and gone before me
A handshake to the past
It gets me through
Been a little bit good and a little bit sad
Let the dirt and dust fall where it may

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

Measured distance through the heartbeats
Measured time holds all my beliefs
These shotgun visions are all I've ever lived with
A scattered mind from a reckless youth
I cover my ears, I cover my eyes
Still all the fears, still heard the lies

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

Took convention for a rough ride
A genius under glass set adrift
Direction all but fading
Like a kiss that leaves you floating in a trance
The rivers I cross the memories I keep
A minute to smile, forever to weep

A distant thunder and it takes my breath away
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Pressure is a pyramid in a scream that no one hears
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

A distand thunder, I feel like I'm slippin' under
Tumblin' in a whirlwind pullin' clouds from the sky
Of all those times that I've turned and looked away
A thousand lifetimes couldn't cover my tears
Oh cover my tears

Back door sliders, narrow escapes
Busted gray wall, greasy embrace
Finances ailing, crawlin' down
The rain slicked alleys, ain't no escape in this town

Blood on the stone, blood on the rock
Consumed with the passion, that only time could unlock
One life wasted, another one gone
The streets are on fire, and I'm calling you home

Hoy hoy
Hoy hoy
Don't go there boy

Juanita's daughter got her kicks in the streets
And her mama's warning "you better duck the heat"
She's got a concrete body with candy cane hair
Razor balde business appearin' out of thin air

Stars fallin' down, snow on the ground
Chasin' the dragons all over the town
The dream catcher's wagon, lurkin' to loom
A one dance ducka, you know he's workin' the room

Hoy hoy
Hoy hoy
Don't go there boy

Preacher's on the corner wrapped in a heavenly light
But noise of the chopper drowns the message tonight
He says "you saucy senoritas take care where you swing
Cause the lords of the boulevard don't owe you a thing."

Hoy hoy
Hoy hoy
Don't go there boy

I close my eyes and try to remember
Lookin back on it now it seems so much like a dream
All the places I ever wandered, all the kisses I ever stole
Yours are the ones I still remember, they never grow cold
They're just under the radar

My heart is a mountain, I'd walk on fire to get back to you
Reaching out for your touch, I'm clinging to your sould
Thought I'm not far from sight
No I'm not far from sight now
I'm just under the radar

Under the radar
It's a place where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on

The time has come and gone, all my options blown to dust
When a gentle tap upon my shoulder left me reelin from my past
I was standing on a stretch of highway, going back to see a friend
Thought I'd reached the point of no return, but came back under the radar
I've been there ever since

Under the radar
It's a place where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on

You can trace your thoughts of darkness with the movements of the sun
When you see what stands before you and allow yourself a dream
Though it's not far from sight now
No it's not far from sight
It's just under the radar

Under the radar
Where all is forgiven
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
Lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit carries on

Under the radar
Under the radar
Where love never grows old
It's lying just below the timber line
Under the radar
Where the spirit goes on and on and on and on and on

The TV cold fire burning
Been up all night
And the light has left your eyes
I was always runnin' to you
Not fast enough
My little boy blue
Ever get where you wanted to go?
You knew the way

The times, the good and the bad
Was all that we had
In the end it let us down
I'm tired and I feel the blame
All my prayers sound the same
Stranded here with no relief
Abandoned here beyond belief

Vale of tears
Empty room
Once was filled
Cold and still
This ragged town so desperate in the rain
Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain
Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartfelt sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears

The raucous sounds and shining lights
Weave their tales into the night
And the knowing lingers bright
All the love my sweet tender friend
It's still around, it never ends
The past is just an alibi
It's all the same

The weather's turning warmer every day
And I think the rains are done
At least that's what they say
Thought I saw you just the other night
I knew my eyes weren't seeing right
Then again I see you all the time
Everywhere

Vale of tears
Empty room
Once was filled
Cold and still
This ragged town so desperate in the rain
Has no mercy, no shelter from the pain
Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartfelt sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears

Even now this anger's replacin' faith
I somehow
The heart remembers you

Never mind the promised tomorrow
Given for a heartful of sorrow
Always tomorrow the promise
In a vale of tears
Tell me 'bout the promise tomorrow
Given for a heartful of sorrow
Always remember the promise
In a vale of tears

Outside my hotel window, my eyes they spy the rails
While lost in the horizon, the mystic balley trail
Southwestern transportation tighten up the cotton belt
Those santa fe steamers, hot 'nuff to make me melt

Give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you

Boring days... frantic nights
Sittin' round waitin' for delayed flights
Meters runnin' in brand new shoes
Sordid rhythms rockin' black and blues
Hometown drama, highway trauma
Phone bill's got at least one comma
Achin' skull at the end of my rope
Give me some money, send me some hope

Give me a big train... all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you

Steel wheel's singin' such a lonesome song
Engines whinin' been gone too long

Boiler burnin' - 'bout to burst
Like a drownin' man, I'm dyin' of thirst
When you hear the whistle moan
Means the southern pacific is bringing me home
Hey girl, get your new dress on
Big train's rollin' in at dawn
Oh baby don't you cry no more
Big train's a rollin' up to your door

Give me a big train... a big train rollin' all night long
Put me on the track that will take me back to you
Give me a big train.. big train' rollin' - loco mo
Got some loco motion
Got some loco mo
Got some loco motives I'm dyin' to try on you

I was a real live wire on a very loose wig
Not a good combination in the best of times
I had no real plans, no trouble in mind
Just a real fat wallet my modus operandi

Then I woke up - seatin' and lost
Ya know I sear that it's true
The sun was shining in my eyes
Reflectin' off a gold tooth
I said oh man... it was a ferocious morning

Well I remember the money quintessential moans
Yesterday's perfume tells me I ain't alone
Then I hear that fool's bellow pounding at the door
I had my heart in my mouth when my feet hit the floor

Taste of cotton - and gasoline
All down in my thirty two
No time for stoppin' - I gotta beat the scen
I think this window will do
I said oh man... what a ferocious morning

The heat was oppressive, ninety nine in the shade
I hit the bricks runnin', hip-hoppin' away
I needed some magic so I turned into a bar
Was the misery minute down at the happy hour

My head screamed for a cough syrup cocktail
But I settled on a deep well gin
Don't recall it all... I think it was fun
But I don't wanna go there again
Oh man... what a ferocious morning

There's a place where the heart lives
In a country all its own
Where love and redemption
A distant mirage
Delirious whispers
Tell of no concerns

A voiceless territory
A stretch of endless frontiers
Marking time with the stone
Collected from the mountains
Connect us for the moment
So simple and pure

Fallin'... fallin' through the worlds
Shufflin' slow motion
To an old car radio, under porcelain stars
The future is waitin', the night time fadin'
We were fallin' through the worlds

Your heart glides to me
In a red velvet surrender
We were dancin', seems like forever
Hold the world at bay
Caught a glimpse of a sunrise
Lookin' at the edge of time

Fallin'... fallin' through the worlds
Movin' in shadows to the shisper of a dance
Under porcelain stars a whirlwind rages
These wind scattered pages are all that's left of our last chance
Never for a moment had I given up hope

Fallin'... fallin' through the worlds
Shufflin' slow motion
To an old car radio, under porcelain stars
The future is waitin', the night time fadin'
We were fallin' through the worlds

I was waitin' for you, not a sould around
I felt my luck run out
That's when our time gave out
A picture of sadness
A picture of never the same
Never the same
Never the same
Never the same

Like a steamboat floatin' in a wild monsoon
Woulda' had a better chance to see me through
Tails are high and the winds are bearin' down
Cable touchin' cable, live wires on the ground

The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all

Diamonds rushing by in a pale gray light
Balck thunder rolling with the crack of steel white
Fever runnin' high, spirit ebbin' low
Caught on the highway with too many mile to go

Maladjusted malcontent
Deliberate deception with a wounded heart
Temptation...
Temptation in an empty world

The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all

It's a rumored affair
Something cheap in the air
You been playin' for luck
But you always get caught

Double rider on a rain streaked road
Thunder rippin', engine screamin' north
Can't escape a fool in terror
The kiss of death and now you're gone
And once again I'm all alone

The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all

The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
The blues don't tell it all
