Down the Mississippi - At the Limbo 03:31
lyrics
buy track
Tied up, gagged and a candle in a trailer RV And that purple dressed lady is dripping hot wax on me Down the Mississippi the girl she was so pretty And even though she whipped me I'm stuck in Memphis city And now it's such a pity that I won't come back home Now I'm lost on my own She put a spell on my bone She drove it under my skin Worst place that I've ever been Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State" Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home T'was a diner in Memphis She said her name was Elaine And the weather forecast said'll be thunder and rain Two golden teeth and as rad as heck Tight as the rope around a guilty man's neck She grabbed my hand and said let's get goin astray And now I'm lost on my own She put a spell on my bone She drove it under my skin Worst place that I've ever been Sign on the wall says, "Volunteer State" Dead bird on the floor, dog food in a cage Man, lawdy lawd, I'm so far away from home Now my temperature's sinking I guess my race it is gone Met my fate and I'm thinking about the deeds that I've done She grabbed my mind cut a slice of me Kept me alive but I wish that she cut through my throat and let me get going back home But I'm lost on my own She put a spell on my bone She drove it under my skin Worst place that I've ever been Down the Mississippi The girl she was so pretty And even though she hit me I'm stuck in Memphis city And now it's such a pity That I won't come back home Down the Mississippi The girl she was so pretty And even though she hit me I'm stuck in Memphis city And now it's such a pity That I won't come back home

The Party - At the Limbo 04:26
lyrics

Ah once I woke up in a misty room Worn out pillows, a broken broom And I wonder where it was and what should should I do there Dead sure I've never been there before So I stood up stepped up to the stairs Crazy people running anywhere Well I disliked their smell didn't like their tatoos They had no faces they had no shoes I searched my pocket, no ticket nor bill And I got nervous if I ever will Find out where I am and what I should do If this is a game please tell me the rules No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come Another room, king size bed Chains on my leg, new TV set A bunch of old friends jumped in and they talked About people and places I couldn't recall A little little boy I walked upstairs A little little girl with yellow hair A little little while we walked side by side And then she vanished into the night I saw the lights of a falling plane Then it went dark and I searched in vain If there's an exit an hole some way to get out of here If this is a party, please don't give me no beer, no no no No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah Yeah yeah yeah No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come Again I woke up, a sunny room It's all so clean, a brand new broom But still I wondered where it was and what should I do there Dead sure I've never been here before Again I stood up, did I loose my religion? All shoes and faces they came out of the kitchen And I said to myself, grim to the bone If this is a kingdom I would claim for the throne, yeah yeah yeah I broke the door,I crashed out the windows Out with the broom, out with the pillows Stop talking bullshit, all you fools This is my game, I gonna tell you the rules, yeah No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah Yeah yeah yeah No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come, yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come No one ever asked me if I'm ready if I'm willing to come

Now this is my present for it's Valentine You can get all my body but my soul it is mine If you ever got the taste of blood & kerosene Oh, remember who I was & my body near the scene FIND ME...

I’m like a dried dried out river Waiting inn the desert sun Just like a dried dried out river I'm waiting the water for to come Well my eyes're wide wide open Filled up with dust and with stones And the bones of the pilgrim Who died here all alone But the flood it will come It will spill every stone to the shore And the seed it will grow And there will be no drought never more And I cried cried the desert Filled dried out river with tears All left white white whiute salt here Glisten in the sunburnt sphere And I tried tried so hard I tried to unlock the gates well of dear greed and denial all which behind the water waits Athe flood it will come It will spill every stone to the shore And the seed it will grow And there will be no drought never more And I sighed sighed for mercy Send me a shower or flood To delight me, I'm thirsty Oh, make me a fountain for god I’m like a dried dried out river Waiting inn the desert sun Just like a dried dried out river I'm waiting the water for to come

I am a stranger here below And what I am is hard to know I am so vile, so prone to sin I fear that I'm not born again When I experience the call to mind My understandig was so blind All feeling sense seems to be gone Which makes me think that I am wrong T'is seldom I will ever see Myself as I would wish to be What I desire I can't attain From what I hate I can't refrain So by experience I do know There's nothing good that I can do I cannot satisfy the law Nor hope nor comfort from it draw I find myself out of the way My thoughts are often gone astray Like me alone I seem to be Oh is there anyone like me Like one alone I seem to be Oh is there anyone like me

Like a dead dog on a highway Like a dead dog I'm hanging around Won't you stop and pick me up Dig me a deep hole in the ground Wrap me in white linnen That your mother used to wear On the day you were born Once I was a baby, once I was a baby dog, too Like a dead dog on a highway And the big trucks passing by Won't you put my little body down Cover it with boulders out of light Kiss away the dread and blood And comb my fur and straighten the broken tail It was dancing up and down While I was going down the highway Like a dead dog on a highway Like a dead dog I'm hanging around Won't you stop and pick me up Dig me a deep hole in the ground Wrap me in white linnen That your mother used to wear On the day you were born Once I was a baby, once I was a baby dog, once I was a baby dog, too (wuff) Like a dead dog on a highway And the big trucks passing by Won't you put my little body down Cover it with boulders out of light Wrap me in white linnen That your mother used to wear On the day you were born I'm going down the highway I'm going down the highway Till I die, oh, till I die

Well some said it was Mohammad Atta Well some said that it was the CIA Well I asked myself where was Jesus Three-thousand were killed that day Is there a World Trade Center in heaven Is there a World Trade Center in the sky Is there a World Trade Center in heaven Where the birds & the fishes flying by Well last night I met Jesus in heaven He kindly took my hand And he led me to cloud fourty-seven And showed me where the World Trade Center stands There's a World Trade Center in heaven There's a World Trade Center in the sky There's a World Trade Center in heaven Where the birds & the fishes flying by Well I walked through the clouds glanced and wondered about All the walls like glooming black gold And the traders are trading as they ever used to trade Now in heaven they're trading their own souls There's a World Trade Center in heaven There's a World Trade Center in the sky There's a World Trade Center in heaven Where the birds & the fishes flying by

Ich seh mich gern leiden aber kann mich nicht entscheiden Heute hab ich Risse, heut habe ich Dellen Ich werd mich heute abend an die Mauer stellen Ganz war nie Ganz war ich eh nie Ganz war ich nie Ich hab mir heute in die Hand geschnitten Ich hab nicht gelitten, ich kann mich nicht entscheiden Ich hab mir heute in die Zunge gebissen Es hat geblutet, ich wollts nicht vermeiden Ich hab mir heute ein Bein ausgerissen Ich werd es vermissen, aber ganz war ich eh nie

Alone, I press my face into my pillow Alone-lone-lone, Inside that broken tube TV Alone-lone-lone-lone-lone, But then I know I have to go – away! Oh, the world it is revolving And more questions are evolving Find me a place to dig a hole Then I'll have a place to shit in That'll be my place to live in I'll plant some wheat & meat to feed up my soul Eating meatballs on a bloodstained mattress in a Huggy Bear motel And then, it's Henry's Bar at 2 AM (hu-hu) And then then then, Chicken wings are bleeding on my hand (hu-hu) And then then then then then she said where are you heading next – tonight? There were things & words I forgot Driving circles on a parking lot Close my door and quietly lock my song In my pocket I have two dead eyes From the honkytonk I've been last night And the guy stared at my baby just a little bit to long knows he did wrong Eating meatballs on a bloodstained mattress in a Huggy Bear motel Again, I press my nose into my pillow (hu-hu) Again-gain-gain, Those sheets they smell incred'bly good (hu-hu) Again again again, Turn around and put myself to sleep – away Oh, the world is still revolving And more questions still evolving Find me a place to dig a hole Then I'll have a place to shit in That'll be my place to live in I'll plant some wheat & meat to feed up my soul Eating meatballs on a bloodstained mattress in a Huggy Bear motel

Will I Be Someone - At the Limbo 06:03
lyrics

All the dirty streets I walked All the dirty thoughts I thought All the dirty deeds that I did Stick on my mind I've been putting a tattoo on me From the inside, I can't see What it is or what it means I just know the pain that I feel But the day when I'll be done and die Will I see, will I recognize The whole, the tattoo inside Of my heart and my soul? Will I be someone before I die Will I be someone When I walk into the dark night, into the dark night Will I be someone before I die A dot of ink in God's blue sky A tattoo myself, I'm fading away Betty set her mind to die Made a plan after while Getting herself overdosed With the stuff that she liked most Liquid courage made her nearly insane Couldn't hit a letter nor a vein Asked her neighbour to help her through Neighbour said, "sure I could do this for you" But hippie Johnny was a junkie himself He took his share, he gave her something else He got high while she did faint He saved her life, what an american saint Will I be someone before I die Will I be someone When I walk into the dark night, into the dark night Will I be someone before I die A dot of ink in God's blue sky A tattoo myself, fading away, I'm fading away Is it singing peasants throwing their seed Or the crazies yelling down in the street Is what you get the stuff that you need Down in the dark night? Looking for love, are you looking for God Christmas tree or a parking lot A place for a pee or a decent job Are you fading away? You can't say because it's too hard Time to stay or is it time to part Question mark in the dark That's what we are I've been putting a tattoo on me From the inside I can't see What it is or what it means I just know the pain that I feel Then the day when I'll be done and die I will see, I will recognize The whole, the tattoo inside Of my heart and my soul Then I'll be someone before I die Then I'll be someone When I walk into the dark night, into the dark night Then I'll be someone before I die A dot of ink in God's blue sky A tattoo myself, I'm fading away I'm fading away

Well I'm a falling I'm a falling I'm falling out of light Well last night I was bored I went out of town At the bars met a neighbour who was hanging around And I said to the pal come on let's have a drink And let's watch the moon preparing to sink So we went out with a bottle of gin Heads to the sky with a foolish grin And suddenly I started to cry Well I'm used to going to work I'm used to goin' to stores I'm used to doing beer I'm used to doin' whores Down there in the road lies my golden shirt In the dirt And I am falling out of light Well I'm a'falling like a spark in the night Well I'm a'falling out of light Well I'm a'falling like a spark in the night Well my neighbour said, brother this is true I know what you mean I am thinking like you But you should know that you could come back home And he looked in my eyes and he went all aflame Like a torch in the dark it was really strange He said "you're like me" and then he passed away And I am falling out of light Well I'm a'falling like a spark in the night Well I'm a'falling out of light Well I'm a'falling like a spark in the night
