Hittin' The Bricks 05:32
lyrics
buy track
City of sin bathing in halogen and silicone I flipped the bird - going out on my own Yeah I was hittin’ the bricks Stoned and rightly out of my mind In the city I hit the pavement like I was on the stroll You know I slept so well – I finally was home Hittin’ the bricks Thank god for hittin’ the bricks Stoned and slightly out of my mind And I didn’t know if the place I was going Was like in my dreams And I couldn’t tell if the Chelsea Hotel Was all that it seemed Stoned politely out of my mind

Louisiana Liar 04:37
lyrics

Liar – little Louisiana liar Is that the way they raise ‘em down south I’m sure – sure she don’t aspire To let the words fall out her mouth Ran away – your baggage in tow Still I wait for your voice on the phone (Telling me) Baby, know I was wrong Please baby let me come home But you’ve been a little liar for too long Liar – little Louisiana liar I’ve realized you’re mostly facade Yes – beautiful and broad There’s just way too many winks and a nod Ran away – my baggage in tow Still I wait for your voice on the phone (Telling me) Baby, know I did you wrong Please baby let me come on home But you’ve been a little liar for too long We ran away with our baggage in tow Still I wait for your voice on the phone

The Ghost Song 04:15
lyrics

What is this I hear What is this I see Why would I have crosses in my house If I didn’t believe (I’ve seen it and now I believe) So keep your faith in god Or just some higher being Not every soul that departs this old world Necessarily leaves (I’ve seen it I have to believe)

Think That Drink Was Meant For Me 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Babydoll you couldn’t believe how it looked Wouldn’t show it – swear I was shook And the spirits of the Chelsea Hotel watched down To see another young soul O.D. See my girl – she got drugged In the back – of the club And I think that drink was meant for me What’s worse is there could only be A few suspects - I knew every one of ‘em I think that drink was meant for me (x3) With your eyes rolling to the back of your head If they’d have got me – we’d both be dead right now And the spirits of the Chelsea Hotel watched down To see another young Soul O.D. And I swear if I ever catch you I swear I’ll make you bleed You know I’m a peaceful guy But I’ve got a streak in me Promise you won’t feel a thing I’ll hide In the shadows and let my spade just swing

Heartbreak Hotel Chelsea 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Think I’m bad luck baby – Did I strangle out the sign Now you go by “Helsea” – but only on my side At least we had the winter – most of the spring But summer came – with it change But I refused – dug my feet – or I’d find myself on 23rd street – just cause some new thieves took over the lease – at least the old thieves were like your family - that is you see – there’s still corruption still greed - but you both knew your boundaries The way I see it now – I didn’t have time for two loves – and my mistress was the jealous one – I think she scorned a lover – think she lost me a friend – but inside of her – my Chelsea girl Her walls dissolve your sins – you can look straight down the lens – real life it’s just pretend – it’s just like in movies I saw and books I read – that said it could feel like a warm bed and a warm body – it could be a kick in the head Where else feels cold and safe – wintertime windows sealed with painters tape – all for the sanity I save I’m just one of her stories – and that’s alright with me – lets end this scene before I fall apart at the seams – Heartbreak Hotel Chelsea

Stanley Was The Patron Saint 04:05
lyrics
buy track
See Storme’ was closer to the harp than the guitar But man did she play that thing well She mostly had a smile real cute and juvenile But man would she give you the boot But times change and who’s really telling the truth What’s an aged caged bird to do It’s out with all of the old – in with the new – Oh you See Shark was this Hawk but he really couldn’t fly Although with that mind I bet he could His wife was this sprite – she beamed with inner light They lived like two ghosts in the bush But times change and who’s really telling the truth What’s a depressed surrealist to do It’s out with all of the bold - in with the shrewd - Oh you See Stanley was the patron saint – To all the mental patients he was – An honest mans charlatan – he’d rob you with his helping hand but – With every ounce of fault in him – he was appointed the exalted king But it seems - yes I fear his reign is done – Oh my But times change and nobody’s telling the truth What are my friends those bohemians to do It’s out with all of the old in with the new Out with all of the bold in with the shrewd Out in the cold I know it’s not the truth Oh you

Room Is a Tomb 04:04
lyrics
buy track
And my room is a tomb When I’m sick it keeps me safe And the walls don’t let in any sound In this tomb that’s my room I can’t hear what others say If I could wouldn’t listen anyway Can’t you see I’m on the rise Signals all over the skies And when you’re through with all your lies I might Be alright – you could spend the night We’ll see – baby Whatcha doing here I was getting used to sleeping without you Now you’re near And I was kinda hoping to breathe without you It’s not so clear Do you see? Can’t you see I’m on the rise Signals all over the skies And when you’re through with all your lies I might Be alright – you could spend the night I’ll see – you in the morning

Concealed Little Weapon 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Don’t you put – way too much weight In what’s the word – it’s on my tongue Oh right love Demonstrate - don’t conversate What’s the point in just words So absurd Concealed little weapon Too often used as a crutch It’s like a game people love to throw around I don’t think it such Don’t you put – way too much faith In other words – you’ll get let down Or so I’ve found What you need – is some good advice from a friend But I’ve got none – I just run

Love Songs So High 05:50
lyrics
buy track
I’ve got nothing but love songs babe You treated me so good I know it’s a love song that you crave I done what I could If it was someone else I might not have had such an easy time And if it was someone else I might not even have tried And it feels like… I’m so high – We get so high (but we get dolled up on our own) Irises that have capsized a thousand ships (x2) Your silence it screams louder than roaring winds

Anymore It's Not The Same 03:54
lyrics
buy track
It’s not like I enjoy this – mild psychosis Mounting in my head I thought I could avoid it – just grin and bear it It’s easy to pretend Anymore it’s not the same (x2) And I’m trying to get it right Maybe in another life But anymore it’s not the same Glass castles and needles in the sky Suddenly I have planned this great escape I’ve got a thousand reasons why suddenly I Have got nothing to say Feel like a low down ramblin’ man But I took a chance Thought that I was gonna grow old and die here Not everything goes to plan

Sun come up – it was blue and gold (x3) Ever since I put your picture in a frame I come calling in my Sunday best (x3) Ever since I put your picture in a frame I’m gonna love ya ‘till the wheels fall off - Oh yeah I love you baby and I always will (x3) Ever since I put your picture in a frame
