Keepsake 03:54
One gonna heal my body Another gonna heal my pain One gonna settle me down And bring me back up again One gonna put my family Back together again One gonna hold my woman Another gonna hold my job One gonna help me get up And one gonna help me stop One gonna help me talk right One gonna lay me down to sleep Mmm mmm mmm oh oh oh oh... One gonna hold my guts and Another gonna hold my bones One gonna keep me warm And another gonna keep me cold One gonna bring religion Right from a Coleman stove One gonna help me keep her And another gonna help me take One gonna run me down Hell a bullet's in my way Your all gonna keep my soul It was yours to have long ago Mmmm mmmm mmmm oh oh oh... One gonna buckle my belt Around the ceiling pipe One gonna buckle up my knees And one gonna lock them up tight One gonna hold the pen while you Drag my arm across the page One gonna hold my memory Another gonna close the door One gonna leave me restless Another wantin' more You're gonna keep my soul It was yours to have long ago oh oh oh oh...

Heady Riser 05:18
Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away And when they stop You see the hand they carries Brought on by what they refuse to believe And when they stop Formidable adversary Their conscience is no match to their greed By virtue of the definition of the heady riser He will move to his position of power To put things he has not seen In a position to his dreams He will not call til he know them true And they come for the leaders But we say we never lead They come for the believers But we say we never believe They come for the healers But we say we never touch no hand And they'll come for us There be no one left to stand Don't need no heady riser Don't need no heady riser Riser…… Don't need no heady riser Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away Runnin' them all away runnin' them all away And when they stop You see the hand they carries Brought on by what they refuse to believe And when they stop Unformidable adversary Their conscience is no match to their greed By virtue of the definition of the heady riser He will move to his position of power To put things he has not seen In a position to his dreams He will not call til he know them true And they come for the leaders But we say we never lead And they come for the sleepers But we say we never dream And they come for the healers But we say we never touch no hand And they'll come for us There will be no one left to stand Yea they'll come for us There will be no one left to stand Don't need no heady riser Don't need no heady riser Riser Don't need no heady riser And they come for us dreamers But we say we never sleep And they come for us tellers But we say we never speak And they come for us stealers But we say we never rob no man And they'll come for us There will be no one left to stand Don't need no heady riser Don't need no heady riser Riser Don't need no heady riser Riser Don't need no heady riser Riser

The Waitress 04:51
And the waitress is sliding down the wall Don't ask her why she falls Surely it will happen again And the pay phone is swinging against the wall Don't ask her 'bout the call She's just trying to forget Ay oh ay oh... And the manager runs yelling Something about her hair being in her face Customer complainin' But he really had no case Counter queens looked up from their magazines But she goes and stares straight ahead Today with the door opens The rain slants in There's water all over the floor Busser waves to the meter maid Who don't wave back no more ay oh ay oh... And the waitress has her back up against the wall You can see her chest rise and fall Surely she'll come again And the pay phone is Swingin' against the wall Don't ask her about the call She's only trying to forget But today with the door opens The rain slants in There's water all over the floor Busser waves to the meter maid Who don't wave back no more Today with the door opens The rain slants in There's water all over the floor Busser waves to the meter maid Don't wave back no more ay oh ay oh....

Here in the old country she Grew up just as they said Trying to make up for what was missing As the land faded to red Here in the old country hair falls Coarsely round their necks Having your wit about you Can hurt more than it protects So let the sugar cane ashes Fall to your feet Let it pile up around you Til your in it waist deep And when it all changes And the harvest is large Let it pile up to your shoulders That dealt all them scars With every fiber of his muscle He bare down on her back The cane would rip the air of its breath And turned the sun black She fall down to her knees With out so much a whisper Please save the child Who knows not what she dreams Red moon turns a red horizon Words burning to leave the tongue Here in the old country moon It turns a blood red A warning to all those Who dare to forget But burning of cane fires Gives us the winters keep And a barricade of burning tires For those who dared to sleep So let the sugar cane ashes Fall to your feet Let them pile up around you Til your in it waist deep And when it all changes And the harvest is large Let it pile up to your shoulders That dealt all them scars Red moon turns a red horizon Words burnin' to leave the tongue Red moon turns a red horizon Words burnin' to leave the tongue
