all your friends go down strolling to the altar you don't wanna be alone at all shaking just like a leaf rising up to your feet walking on down real slow like you do when you got nowhere to go I can't tell the difference between a curse and a psalm how am i supposed to see am I being prayed for or being preyed on don't trust your heart don't pay no mind I know it's hard to ignore what's pumping your blood keeping you alive wake up soaked in sweat can't remember how you got that way drenched in the middle of the night dry as a bone in the rest of your life you said the words they asked you to shed your share of tears there's a fear that you just can't shake somehow it didn't take chorus on the day that you was born was a bad moon on the day you gonna die it'll be the same sky nothing ever changed cause it never does all the friends that you loved they're moving on all the places you'd go they'll soon be gone all it ever is, all it ever was chorus

Hey pretty girl Can I guess your name First and the middle are they one in the same Guess if you hate it then your moms to blame Hey sweet baby can I hold your hand Hey sweet face can I have this dance Yeah, I know it's a lot of cans to ask Don't dare change You know I dont believe it Don't dare change I love you just the way you are Well god knows that I want to hold you I don't ever wanna hold you down If you feel a little short of breath You can go ahead and slap me round You stole my heart Gave me your hand I swear I aint gonna put cuffs on it Put a brick right on your head And you stay just where you stand I dont mean it in a mean way I never mean it in a mean way Throw a rock right through your window And you stay just where you sit I don't mean it in a mean way I barely even mean it

Come On Down 04:10
lyrics

Heart from the hands Head from the feet All that you were Torn at the seams Who can you trust After all that you've seen Are you bathing in blood Or just floating in the red sea Someones gonna come he's gonna claim you Someones gonna come he's gonna claim you as his Will you recognize him Come on down I'm ready Ready to go right now I could've sworn I heard you say soon But apparently it don't mean to me What it means to you Save me a spot At your right hand On the day that you pose For that stained glass Chorus I don't have another year to waste I dont have another dream to chase I don't have another drink to take I don't have anymore friends to make Chorus

well the years crawl by and the light gets dimmer but if you look real close you can still catch a glimmer gotta grit my teeth gotta clench my fist not settling in I ain't too old to resist I spend all day on the phone all night laying low what kind of life is this eight hours down and thirty-two to go making a buck is making me old what kind of life is it? making that buck is making me old serving that dollar leaving me cold making that buck making me old That'll be the day that i know I'm done when I take what I like forsaking what I love I burn the hours in search of sound something I used to love now I just turn it down chorus some things you need some things you don't tell ya what I learned you gonna have both some things you see some things you won't tell you what I got alot of what I'd rather not chorus

I was raised on the plains Running flatlands With the farmhands I was taught all the tales From the good book Take a good look Cause lord I never been so cold Lord I never been so cold And it ain't like you don't already know Good lord good lord I could make this drive With eyes closed And hands tied Don't dare me now You don't know what I can do You think I'm so safe You give me something to prove I can feel it in my bones tonight I can feel it Huddle up for warmth I know you need a little Huddle up for warmth You can have mine Huddle up die for warmth

Ghost Town 03:44
lyrics

Where the people don't forget Where the people won't forget And nobody ever dies Cause you can't if you never lived Where the stores are just fronts Chains in the worst way Lined down Washington Dry till noon sunday When you wanna hit There's no one to punch When you wanna talk all your friends are passed out drunk When you wanna buy Won't nobody sell What's the good of a secret you aint got no body to tell If it was good enough for dad Then it's good enough for me I shut my eyes for real Got nothing left to see Nobody says no Nobody says yes They mumble and look away Got nothing to confess In a ghost town it goes around We were dead the whole time Yeah that's the big twist If we were good At following clues Then we would've seen this Coming Gotta get out one way or another

The Future Nashville, Tennessee

If you fused the dynamic vocal style of Prince with Spoon's tight minimalist pop hooks and a bit of Arcade Fire's heights of grandeur, you'd kindle a spark that is the Future.
