Bloody Diamonds

I took a diamond from a cave
And I cut it on a boy
There's a voice inside me
But I didn't listen Lord
Bloody diamonds and black gold
Think I dug too deep
Bloody diamonds and black gold
Now I'm green with greed
Paint some oil on my grave
And I'll toss and turn for ya
Mother nature's whipping me
Into sublime euphoria

Bitter Sunshine
Standing around, singing in the rain
When I fell in love
Sweeter Dream
So I’m headed for the fields then
Maybe someday
“Been in love…” sweet song the record played
Can I sing along?
Well, then I lost the beat
For sure to love alone
In the hole that I’m in
Hello bitter sunshine
I am up for the day
You’re sweeter than the sunshine
I am offering
Embedded in a rock
And pleading for the rush of rain
Will I be your boat?
Well in the rock I dream
For sure to love alone
In the hole that I’m in
Back seat lover
Hit the road Joe l’amour
Cause I’m in the room
Hell, on my way home
I’ll look into the rain
There’s a boy butting in
Hello bitter sunshine
I am up for the day
You’re sweeter than the sunshine
I am offering someday
Sweet your hair
You turn your eyes above you
Sweets, try and tie me over
Before I’m found
Be forty and never rest to change
Lord do you know?
Will I see her?
For my heart’s sewn all shut
Call me a lover in the rain
Lord do you know?
Will I feel her?
For my heart’s all sewn shut

1901
Out in the corn field
I heard a wild cry
It was a dark sound
That ain’t no wildlife
I saw a rustling
I started hustling
Into the school house
Hundred years old now
There ain’t no reason
Don’t try to hide
God damn them demons
I’m running through lives
Turn out the lights child
We’ve got a visitor
He’s got those dark eyes
He ain’t no farmer
And then a fire train
Ripped out of the earth
It stopped on my step
“Crawl on aboard sir”

Oil
Hello Georgie pooh
You are drilling through
My homeland to get your fat oil
Your friends all greased you up
Packed your bags with bucks
You’ve been working
On the wrong toil baby
With some love
All your secrets dissipate
With no love
To your soul
You’ll dislocate
Sinister Minister
Cretin linear
You’ve been primed
By the wrong tribe
You puppet in the dust
Nailed down by the rust
You’ve been riding out
A silent bribe baby
Storm the wretched
Start a revolution
Steer the wreckage
From the politician
Roll the canon up
Light it on the hill
Run the bastards out
Let him know
How it feels
Like the Roman Empire fell

Rope Bridge

Rope Bridge
My mind’s a rope bridge
The kind that’s forgotten
The one with the cracked boards
Through there I’ve fallen
Remember when
We were right on
I don’t mind the frayed ropes
I kind of like the feeling
Just like my high hopes
Our love is fading
Remember when
We were right on
Holding on as it untied
I don’t let on
You don’t let up
We don’t let go
Enough
I dangled on my last words
I didn’t own the meaning
Though they rose up through
My whole being
Remember when
We were right on
Walking on this rope bridge
I’ll be hanged
Storm wind blew our minds
As I held out my hand
Remember when
We were right on
Holding on
As it untied

Electrico
I hardly knew love
As I watched from high above
Them old Montreal streets
I turned away
My heart was made of coal
‘Til that diamond showed
Violet ray in the room
That saved my heart from ruin
Uh ha! ‘Twas a fateful day
When I met you babe
My cousin swears it still
She saw electric rain
Then we got a little bottle of rum
Captain Morgan
From then on electrico
And I’ve got to let you know
I love you so
Roxy mama
You’re the queen of the show
Get your bags baby
We’re going to go
Down to a lake
No one else but you
We’ll travel on the water by night
In our canoe
Climb back into bed with you
On a rainy day
Your eyes are sunk in green
Hell, my hair’s turned grey
And we got a little hole in the road
Marital electrico
‘Cause we got a little hole in the road
I god damn won’t let you go
We’re in a rut
We’re fighting almost everyday
Laughing on the way
We’re acting so tough
Lighting off our fiery heads
Laughing on the bed
Hell, I wouldn’t change a moment
Of this rivalry
‘Cause forever
You and me
