Welcome Back, Misery

Have a seat, misery
It’s been a long while now
I have taken my lashes
And risen from Ashes again
So take a load off pal
And I’ll pour you a whiskey
Cause no matter the weather
I’ve never had better a friend
Let me take that for you
I can see that you’re aching
And the baggage you manage
Was never a burden for me
So have a seat, misery
I don’t mind when you wake me
But next time don’t bother to knock
Cause I made you a key

Devils & Rebels

I took a lover
Was a walking heart attack
She had a tattoo
Of a raven on her back
She held her cigarette
Like Marilyn Monroe
And cut me open
Like a tragic magic show
Oh, we’re all devils and rebels, baby
And there ain’t nothin gonna save me
Callooh callay, that’s the way it goes
I took another
And we never met again
But I remember undercover
Now and then
There was fire and the sky was bright
But this was odd
Because it was
The middle of the night
Oh, we’re all devils and rebels, baby
And there ain’t nothin gonna save me
Callooh callay, that’s the way it goes
Callooh callay, Callooh callay,
Callooh callay, that’s the way it goes
It’s a comedy of errors
Guilty pleasures and buried treasures
Dramatic retellings
Of auto-corrected
Misspellings
The damsel in the details
The devil in distress
The only thing
She’s wearing
Underneath her
Tuxedo is a
Cocktail dress
Oh, we’re all devils and rebels, baby
And there ain’t nothin gonna save me
Callooh callay, that’s the way it goes
Callooh callay, Callooh callay,
Callooh callay, that’s the way it goes

700 Days

Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey
I shine a light into the dark
To find what’s missing
I play your records on repeat
The needle, skipping
I have been alone for 700 days
Upon the widow’s walk I talk to waves
I’m waiting for your ghost
It’s more than I can take
I can feel your storm from worlds away
I’ve never grieved like this before
The wind is turning, turning, turning
I think I know now what you meant
When you said
“I’m hurting”
I have been alone for 700 days
Upon the widow’s walk I talk to waves
I’m waiting for your ghost
It’s more than I can take
I can feel your storm from worlds away
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey
Is it easier for you to be lost at sea,
than here with me?
I would rather be drowning slowly
Than this kind of lonely
If you fire a flare
I’ll follow you there
I have been alone for 700 days
Upon the widow’s walk I talk to waves
I’m waiting for your ghost
It’s more than I can take
I can feel your storm from worlds away
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey

First Date
02:41

My first kiss was in a cemetery
My first drink was in a church
My first father was a mercenary
My first lover was a curse
My first enemy became a friend to me
For what it’s worth
My first kiss was in a cemetery
My first drink was in a church
Tell me your story
And I’ll tell you mine
I think we will get along fine
Tell me a riddle
I’ll tell you a rhyme
I think we will get along, fine
My first battle was a massacre
My first friend was a ghost
My first memory is ordinary
My first crush was the most
My first betrayal was willing and able
For what it’s worth
My first battle was a massacre
My first friend was a ghost
Tell me your story
And I’ll tell you mine
I think we will get along fine
Tell me a riddle
I’ll tell you a rhyme
I think we will get along, fine
And if the rules change
Don’t hesitate to say
You’ve had enough of me
And if the rules change
Don’t be afraid to say
You’ve had enough of me
Tell me your story
And I’ll tell you mine
I think we will get along fine
Tell me a riddle
I’ll tell you a rhyme
I think we will get along, fine

Must We
03:07
|

|
You say you have to leave me
You’ve done all you can
The bells are clattering on sixth street
But you’re not a holy man
What have I done to lose you
But be the creature that I am?
Where will you go?
How will I find you?
Must we, must we say goodbye?
Should I believe in something
After you’re gone?
Will I grow old and good for nothing
But hoping for too long
What can I do to keep you
From moving on?
Where will you go?
How will I find you?
Must we, must we say goodbye?
What have the days done to you
To make you leave behind this wreckage?
What have the days done to you
To make you run with stuttered step?
Must we, must we say goodbye?

I got nothing but trouble for you
You got nothing but trouble for me
Kicking puddles and juggling
Having the ravenous
Time of our lives
Having the time of our lives
Having the time of our lives
I like that look in your eyes
We have been waiting too long
Troublemaker
I'm done with not doing wrong
Troublemaker
Nothing's alright
Might as well make a night of it
We have been waiting too long
Just a couple Troublemakers
I've been patiently pining for your
You've been quietly dying for me
Talking riddles
And walking the wire
Making our way to this
Fabulous Fire
Making our way to the fire
Making our way to the fire
I like your kind of desire
We have been waiting too long
Troublemaker
I'm done with not doing wrong
Troublemaker
Nothing's alright
Might as well make a night of it
We have been waiting too long
Just a couple Troublemakers
Yes I consent to regretting this
Magical merry go round
Of a scandalous evening
Believe me we'll both be relieved
To be broken and breathing
So heavily we can see
God in the cracks of the ceiling
Oh, you and me
We have been waiting too long
Troublemaker
I'm done with not doing wrong
Troublemaker
Nothing's alright
Might as well make a night of it
We have been waiting too long
Just a couple Troublemakers

Learning To Be Lost
03:16
|

|
I am satisfied sleeping peacefully
An iron ghost with eyes closed
I am a plagiarized
Autobiography
Of wreckage
A shipwreck in sheep’s clothes
Be patient with me
I am learning to be lost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.
Be mindful of me
I will sink at any cost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.
I have abandoned hope
To the fury of taciturn coat
Mercenary maelstrom
It is not safe to float
I will anchor in the aftermath
Of no one
Of no one
Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.
Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.
You can tell by my
Panic-less face
I am accustomed to this
Be patient with me, I am learning to be lost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.
Be mindful of me, I will sink at any cost
Don’t be gentle. Never gentle.

Built To Burn
02:56

If you need it
I’ll build a cathedral in these hills
And write you a sermon
Where holy communion
Was whiskey and pills
Jig-sawed confession
Indecent act of contrition
Whatever the mess
We’ll make the best of it
Cold blooded angels
Fly closer to the sun
Sugar from strangers
Is sweeter than none
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
Then we burn it to the ground
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
Then we burn it to the ground
We’re built to burn
If it’s fire you desire
I’ll hire and unholy choir
And sing you
through the rings of hell
Hot blooded demons
With heaven on their minds
Drunk from the dreams
Of unspeakable crimes
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
Then we burn it to the ground
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
Then we burn it to the ground
We’re built to burn
No matter how long
No matter how long it takes
We’ll make
A glorious disaster
No matter how long
No matter how long it takes
We’ll set a blaze
To ever after
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
Then we burn it to the ground
We build a world and burn it down
Everything is pretty
When we burn it to the ground
We’re built to burn

Gather round
Pleasant strangers
We can walk away and start again
We can walk away and start again
Listen now
Tortured angels
There is always hope here
In the end
There is hope, my friends
If you ever need an answer
I’ll be waiting
If you ever need an answer
I’ll be waiting

Row, row down the stream
This is not a dream
Row, row down the stream
The ferryman only deals in cash
Joe met daisy on the day of the dead
When he woke up drunk and handcuffed
To a dirty double bed
She said Joe you should be wary of
The women you pretend to love
Then she wrapped a plastic bag around his head
Joe met daisy on the day of the dead
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in cash
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in
the ferryman only deals in cash
Ben met Gary at a backroom game of pool
When he caught him petting heavy
With a boy from Baton Rouge
He said, Ben you should have learned by now
I’m not a fan of fuckin around
Then he beat him with a bottle and a cue
Ben met Gary at a backroom game of pool
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in cash
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in
the ferryman only deals in cash
Never again can be innocent and
Everything ends, well it just makes sense. If
Up has a down, there’s another side
In there’s an out, so it’s worth a try
People want each other but they want themselves more
Even when your lover’s something new to live for
It’s to die for. Therefore to kill for.
Black has white so go to the light, my love.
Jane met Ginger over dinner in July
Ginger said that she’d forgive her
For the secrets and the lies
So they drank a toast for days to come
And the Devil spoke with Ginger’s tongue
“I hope you like champagne with cyanide!”
Jane met Ginger over dinner in July
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in cash
Oh, your time is coming fast
And the ferryman only deals in
the ferryman only deals in cash
