The Set List
Hades Photography > She seems so tangled and wild
Me? Am I too wide-eyed and mild?
She might not think so
I've been around you know
She sets the smoke overhead all aglow with the lights in her eyes
She parts the underground sea
And weaves through the elbows and knees
She might be solo
I'm too shy to ever know
Please, I can't breathe with her inches away from me ordering wine
And she might be lazy
She might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all day
But if I'm so crazy
How come she makes tomorrow seem so far away?
Wake me up
I think I'm falling falling falling
I give up
I think I'm falling falling falling
If I'm not crawling home by morning
I was swallowed by the night
Swallowed by the night

She's damp from dancing alone
Please, have I been down here too long?
She might be lonely
She might just need room to breathe
She faintly smells of patchouli and leather and sweat and I'm losing my mind
And she might be lazy
She might be the kind to sleep in a coffin all day
But if I'm so crazy
How come she makes tomorrow seem so far away?
Wake me up
I think I'm falling falling falling
I give up
I think I'm falling falling falling
If I'm not crawling home by morning
I was swallowed by the night
Swallowed by the night
Wake me up
I think I'm falling falling falling
I give up
I think I'm falling falling falling
If I'm not crawling home by morning
I was swallowed by the night
Swallowed by the night
Hades Photography > I can't trade another day in the shade for a night on the town
All this whiskey and risky behavior is wearing me down
(What are you dreaming of?)
Hell, a shack in the woods would be more than enough
(What are your dreaming of?)
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
(Slow down)
I want to live where the sunlight lights
(Slow down)
Feather-light on my face
(Slow down)
I want to leave all this neon and vice
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray 

I had a car – it's still parked in the yard – I can't give it away
But I can walk to the bar and the market ain't far if I can bear the light of day
(What are you dreaming of?)
Hell, a dollar to spare would be more than enough
(What are you dreaming of?)
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
(Slow down)
I want to live where the sunlight lights
(Slow down)
Feather-light on my face
(Slow down)
I want to leave all this neon and vice
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray

Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray
Oh no, don't let it fade to gray

Girls will maul you and promise to call you then run away
Hell, I blew all my bread on some redhead, it turned out that she was a he anyway
(What are you dreaming of?)
Hell, a red-blooded girl would be more than enough
(What are you dreaming of?)
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
(Slow down)
I want to live where the sunlight lights
(Slow down)
Feather-light on my face
(Slow down)
I want to leave all this neon and vice
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray

(Well, what are you dreaming of?)
I've been tainted and tattered and tarnished enough
(What are you dreaming of?)
This ain't no way to live or to try to find love
(Slow down)
I want to live where the sunlight lights
(Slow down)
Feather-light on my face
(Slow down)
I want to leave all this neon and vice
Before the fire inside me dies or finally fades to gray
Hades Photography > By now the azaleas are blazing
and there’s parties every night on her street
and she reads on the lawn in the sunlight
and at night she has dreams about me

It’s fine with me
if her nights are lonely
cause when there’s a warm breeze
she opens all of the windows
and surrounded by the sounds of the town winding down
she has dreams about me
she still dreams about me

we were too young and mean to be serious
but she sure knew her way around a man
and we swore there’d be no lies between us
but the truth was getting way out of hand

it’s fine with me
if her nights are lonely
cause when there’s a warm breeze
she opens all of the windows
and surrounded by the sounds of the town winding down
she has dreams about me
she still dreams about me

I’ll always remember the hoarse little whimpers and pleas
she breathed in the dark
it’s hard to believe she still dreams about me –
those little sad dreams that weigh down your heart
hell, if you have a heart

she gets lonely sometimes
I don’t mind

she would bury her cries in my shoulder
and she tasted like merlot and sin
and sometimes if the windows were open
she would come at the touch of the wind

it’s fine with me
if her nights are lonely
cause when there’s a warm breeze
she opens all of the windows
and surrounded by the sounds of the town winding down
she has dreams about me
she still dreams about me

it’s fine with me
if her nights are lonely
cause when there’s a warm breeze she opens all of the
windows and surrounded by the sounds of the town
winding down
she has dreams about me
and I’m satisfied
Hades Photography > I’m on my way
I’m breaking through
The clouds of gray and powder blue
Hooray
Hallelujah
I’m a beautiful man

On fields of stone and rusted cans
Bones and bottles and disowned lands
I will stand
Hallelujah
A magnificent man

Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m pounding my chest while the girls in the grandstand scream

I’m a work of art
I’ll take your heart
I’ll fill you with fountains of fire and sparks
In the dark
Hallelujah
We’ll lie littered with laughter and riddled with dazzling stars
 
I’ll fall to my knees in the hall of my dreams
Majestically posing while girls in the mezzanine scream
“Hallelujah!”
For exotic oils and forbidden teas

Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m curling my lip while the girls in grandstand scream,
“Please outsider
You seem like such a lonely man
Take me away with you
I want to see the wastelands”

All the Romeos burn just a little too bright
All the harrowing rodeo gigolos wither and die
Hallelujah
At the hands of day, at the feet of the night

So dress my wounds and soothe my brow
We’ll make it from here to the border somehow
Where we’ll drown
Hallelujah
In exotic oils with forbidden powers

Out in the wastelands, my, how I dream
I’m dusting my chaps while the girls in grandstand scream,
“Please outsider
You seem like such a lonely man
Take me away with you
I want to see the wastelands
Please show me the wastelands
Show me the wastelands
You seem like such a haunted man
I want to see the wastelands
Please show me the wastelands”
Hades Photography > I’ll tell you all about Georgia
Some night on the hood of the car
When planets and moons align
In a brown bag of shooting stars

Tonight feels a little like Georgia
After we close down the bars
We’ll roll all the windows down
And pass the time over cheap cigars

How could she not remember me?
How could she ever forget?
She stared into my eyes and saw what hadn't happened yet

Have you ever been jilted in Georgia?
Have you ever been jilted at all?
How could she not remember the moss at the waterfall?

I’ll tell you all about Georgia
Some night when you’re too tired to sleep
And youth dangles overhead
In haunted shadows just out of reach

I’ll sing a love song to Georgia
To one drunken, innocent year
When all of our wildest dreams
Rose, curtsied and disappeared

How could she not remember me?
How could she ever forget?
She stared into my eyes and saw what hadn't happened yet

Have you ever been busted in Buckhead?
Have you ever been busted at all?
How could she not remember the Junkman’s Daughter-in-Law?

Some nights I dream about Georgia
I wake up afraid and alone
I lie there and wonder how
I wound up so far from home

How could she not remember me?
How could she ever forget?
She’ll stare into your eyes and see what hasn’t happened yet

Have you ever been wasted in Waycross
And vowed to never grow old?
How could she not remember the thimbles of shimmering gold?

From here to Folkston and Fargo
All the way to the Tennessee line
How could she not remember the trembling valentine?
Hades Photography > It's raining
Hands on the wall don't move
I'm getting crazy now
The doorbell's broken and I've thrown the telephone across the room
The TV's on
But I keep the volume down
The blinds are drawn
I like it dark in case the sun comes out
It's Friday afternoon
If I'm giving up too soon, don't tell me
It's Friday afternoon and I'm waiting
If I'm giving up too soon, don't say it
You'll have your Saturday blues
What do you want from me anyway?
I've done nothing but lose
Everything I ever wanted always slipped away

Five o'clock
Seems like hours
Nobody knocks
Maybe the clock has stopped; nobody bothered sending flowers
It's Friday afternoon
If I'm giving up too soon, don't tell me
It's Friday afternoon and I'm waiting
If I'm giving up too soon, don't say it
You'll have your Saturday blues
What do you want from me anyway?
I've done nothing but lose
Everything I ever wanted always slipped away

It's raining
Hands on the wall don't move
I'm getting crazy now
The doorbell's broken and I've thrown the telephone across the room
It's getting late
There's a leaky tap somewhere
I'm wide awake and I'm sick of waiting
With a busted telephone just lying there
It's Friday afternoon and I'm waiting
If I'm giving up too soon, don't say it
You'll have your Saturday blues
What do you want from me anyway?
I've done nothing but lose
Everything I ever wanted always slipped away
(Go home)
(Go home)
It's Friday afternoon and I'm waiting.  If I'm giving up too soon, don't say it
You'll have your Saturday blues
What do you want from me anyway?
I've done nothing but lose
Everything I ever wanted always slipped away
Hades Photography > caught a little sun
feel a little lazy
had a little fun
drank a little wine
made a little love
got a lot of nothing on my mind
it’s a good night to lay around here killing time

I made peace with the dark
I’m over the nightmares
I’ve got a strong heart and clean desires
I’m turning out alright
it’s been a sweet life so far
it’s a good night to kill a little time in your arms

I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
and a far off sense of loss when I first wake
but, I’m turning out alright
ain’t it a sweet life these days
it’s a good night to kill a little time on the fire
escape

I nearly let the lust destroy me
If not for you I’d have surely drowned
but I’ve seen hunger most will never comprehend
plant friends and lovers one by one in the stony ground

There’s a gathering storm
I hear a little thunder
I feel a little wind
I smell a little rain
but I can deal with the angels
cause it ain’t me they’re here to claim
it’s a good night for blowing ‘em off til some other day

I get a frail hollow longing in my dreams still
and a far off sense of loss when I first wake
but, I’m turning out alright
ain’t it a sweet life these days
If you think you can stand holding my hand on the
fire escape

I’m a good man who’s done a couple of bad things
along with way
Hades Photography > Sweet Renee
If I lived a little cleaner someday
Got a break and maybe made a little money
Then would you stay?
Or is there nothing left of me to save?
Please Renee
If I gave up all the poison today
If I gave up all the bars and the parties
What would you say?
Is it too late for me to change my old ways?
Speak up and tell me that I'm not dreaming
Renee, please say that I'm not losing my mind
Because I need you to believe in me this time

Sweet Renee
I think a lot about forever these days
What happened to the wild boy that won you?
I'm far from gray
But I can feel my body aging these days
Please Renee
God, I used to be your hero those days
I made your heart race every time I held you
Is it so strange
To want to fight the way things always change?
Speak up and tell me that I'm not dreaming
Renee, please say that I'm not losing my mind
Because I need you to believe in me this time

Sweet Renee
Do you think I'm going to die young someday?
Do you really think it's too late to save me?
I'm so afraid
Will I just feel my body go away
Speak up and tell me that I'm not dreaming
Renee, please say that I'm not losing my mind
Because I need you to believe in me this time
Speak up and tell me that I'm not dreaming
Renee, please say that I'm not losing my mind
Because I need you to believe in me this time
Because I need you to believe in me
Renee believe in me
I need you to believe in me this time
