Mary, this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Guitar 1
My heart's like a wound
Have you seen my hands?
Just look at 'em shake
And the song just keeps on repeating
Drop the needle again
And I dance with your ghost
but that ain't the way
I can't move on and I can't stay the same
And all my friends say
Heeeeyyyy
Turn the record over
Heeeyyyyy
I'll see you on the flip side
There you go and turn the key and engine over
Let her go
Let somebody else lay at her feet
Slow it down here
On President Street, you'll find the sisters praying over my city's heart
While Union Avenue turns to its disciple who feels the pressure heat coming on hard
And if all was well and your heart could find the words
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?
And if there was a way to navigate your seas
And if tonight, my true love...
Faster here
I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
This is the sound from Camden town."
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun.
This was the sound of the very last gang in town.
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
It wasn't just the same sad song.
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?
Play at a moderate pace now
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
See these chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
These chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
If I Could Write, I'd Tell You How Much I've Missed These Nights
Where We, Dig Around The bones, And Try to Find Peace
And A Patch For The Hole
I Lit A Cigarette On A Parking Meter
The Corner Boys Told Her How I Was Dyin To Meet Her
Like A Prayer I Said, On Deadman's
And Drove Up Like A Parade
You And Your High Top Sneakers
And Your Sailor Tattoos And Your
Ole' 55 That You Drove Through The Roof Of The Sky Up Above
These Indifferent Stars While You Just
Kept Coming Apart, Right In My Arms
Start off slow, then back to moderate
Tell all the young boys, young girls,
all the Young boys, young girls,
That you ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
Ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night,
You weren't supposed to leave my life,
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
Tell all the young boys, all the young girls,
All the young boys, all the young girls.
