Lyrics:
Love is blind
until it pokes you in the eye
see it as its walking out the door
to the liquor store
in a shirt that you once wore
sayin’ I just want to be alone
Heaven knows
what may come tomorrow
but I know whats right for me
La da da da da
Rivers flow
dam the water lose control
of livin' in the dream inside your mind
Shock and awe
it don’t matter what I saw
ballots cast from the barrel of the gun
and the markets drop
for the people up on top
I sware them hound dogs got them rabbits on the run
Heaven knows
what may come tomorrow
but I know whats right for me
La da da da da!
Rivers flow
dam the water lose control
of livin' in the dream inside your mind
the one that we’ve all come to know as time
oh ain’t it a shame
we’re livin’ the dream
Heaven Knows
and I know whats right for me
rivers flow,
and I know whats right for me

Lyrics:
An elephant is walking down the aisle
and all the guests have yet to meet the bride
they say the grooms been known to lie from time to time
they say that he will hang you out to dry
La da da da da La da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
There’s a table full of sweets and fancy things to eat
he says help yourself to water filled with lead
and everybody’s standing in a single file line
with frowns on face and crowns upon their heads
The line is for the cake
you can have but you can’t eat
still everybody’s waiting for a slice
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
We tie our knots with thread
newspaper cherry red
and tune out the explosions overhead
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I saw handshakes go down with 50 fingers
saw smoke and mirrors exploding in the sky
and the dancers dressed in ball gowns all were swingers
and the open bar was closed way before nine
La da da da da La da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
The line is for the cake
you can have but you can’t eat
still everybody’s waiting for a slice
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
We tie our knots with thread
newspaper cherry red
and tune out the explosions overhead
At the Wedding of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

The Kindness of Others

Lyrics:
She’s livin off the kindness of others
like the franciscan fathers and the unwed mothers
She's livin off the kindness of others
but she’s gonna find out
what its all about
when the kindness of others runs out
She’s livin off the memories he left her
pictures in the hallway and the old love letters
She's livin off the memories he left her
but she’s gonna find out
what its all about
when the memories he left her run out
She's livin off the crumbs on the table
she’ll be back on her feet
when she’s willing and able
She's livin on the crumbs off the table
but she’s gonna find out
what its all about
when the crumbs on the table run out
She’s livin’ like a ship with no anchor
with her tattered sails
how can you blame her
She’s livin’ like a ship with no anchor
but she’s gonna find out
what its all about
when the memories he left her run out
and the crumbs on the table run out
when the kindness of others runs out

Holy Water

Lyrics:
They’re selling clothes now in the chapel
and souvenirs to show your friends,
and I don’t think that god or jesus would approve
but the church can’t pay the rent
So i climb up the water tower
drill a hole and jump on in
fill my cup with holy water
and i swim, swim, swim
A man is yelling from the steeple
(just) like the bible said he should
A crowd has formed and they are yelling from below
“its better to look good than too feel good”
So he climbs up the water tower
drills a hole and jumps on in
fills his cup with holy water
and he swims swim swim
We climb up the water tower
drill a hole and jump on in
fill our cups with holy water
and we swim, swim
We climb up the water tower
drill a hole and jump on in
fill our cups with holy water
and we swim, swim, swim

If I Die Tomorrow

Lyrics:
A troubador set sail, as the black pearl sprouted wings
Mr. Vagabond the President into the wind he sings
a song of desolation, of pilgrimage and pride
Singin’ if i die tomorrow - I’m bound to leave this place today
The princess on the bow throws crumbs to fishes in the street
closes her eyes and walks on by that hobo with no feet
but as he's walking by her cabin door, she overheard him say
If i die tomorrow - I’m bound to leave this place today
The skinny and the strong man were sitting side by side
until one day the waters rose and they were swept up by the tide
oh and as the rains fell down, I heard Noah say
If die tomorrow - I’m bound to leave this place today
The captain, cook, and banker were the ones that got away
when that ship sank and we all drank cold water for a change
as Neptune pulled me under, I thought I heard him say
If I die Tomorrow,
If I die Tomorrow,
If I die Tomorrow - I’m Bound to leave this place today.
