Carousel

restless again I pace the floor
forgot whet I was even anxious for
all I know is I’m not alone
ancient paint on dark cave walls
maybe I will find someone like you
who makes me feel the way that you used to
now all I want is to fall asleep
without feeling like a pharmacy
lay me down into a soft white cloud
far away from this empty bed
carousel spinning around
all the voices inside my head
running of the wolves into the night
howling at the moon sometimes just feels right
desert sun break my bones
on the long road back to home
lay me down into a soft white cloud
far away from this empty bed
carousel spin me around
all the voices inside my head
lay me down into a soft white cloud
far away from this empty bed
like a carousel spinning around
all these voices inside my head

Ghost White

I might be sleeping
I might be dead
the ghost white sheet
over my head
beyond the circle
the broken wheel
inside this thunder I feel
no one’s an island now
not when the lights go out
eyes burn in a deep dream
like an omen come true
dark shade in the black night
where the flame turns blue
Rome burns while the kids sleep
and there’s nothing I could do
the soft blade in my back so deep
I turned around to see you
I dreamed you and
that dream came true
I tried to warn you
but you weren’t around
I got teeth as sharp
as the edge of this town
with your big red mouth open
I could just walk right in
eyes roll in a deep sleep
and I just want to lie down
cause all the good in the world
it might have happened by now
a dog cries in the mean streets
the weapons beaten into plows
but the soft blade in my back so deep
I could never pull it out
I dreamed you and
I’ll dream my way out

Chains

did you know it all along?
was it written on the wall?
you and I flew too high
always bound to fall
do you speak my name
in some distant dream?
am I on your lips
when you’re sound asleep?
like a lonely ghost in
chains
chains
what am I gonna do
if I can’t have you now?
you know all my pressure points
the bluebird locked inside my heart
you could kill me if you wanted to
so what’s stopping you now?
chains?
chains
what am I gonna do
if I can’t have you now?
they never knew
what we didn’t show them
the ocean so blue
the days so long
so long without you
chains
what am I gonna do
if I can’t have you now
if I can’t have you now
if I can’t have you again?

One Last Shot
03:37

I remember watching MTV
staying up late and hoping to see
Big Empty or TLC
chasing waterfalls for STP
my whole life like an open road
ahead of me before true love
taught me what I now know
that good things come
and good things go
will I ever get back
to the way things were
legs hanging from big tall trees
head filled with the biggest dreams
falling asleep in my mother’s arms
not afraid of what may come
is it too much to ask of god
for one last shot?
for one last shot
all seven and we’ll watch them fall
they stand in the way of love
and we will smote them all
with an intellect and a savor faire
no one in the whole universe
will ever compare
I am yours now and you are mine
and together we’ll love
through all space and time
so don’t cry
one day all seven will die
can I ever get back
to the way things were
legs hanging from big tall trees
head filled with such marvelous things
falling asleep in my mother’s arms
not afraid of the coming storm
is it too late to ask of god
for one last shot?
come on give me one last shot
will we ever get it back
to the way we were
legs hanging from these bed springs
heads filled with the wildest dreams
asleep in each other’s arms
not afraid of what may come
is it too late to ask of god
for one last shot?
if I’m perfectly honest
do I even want this?

Great White Light
03:47

under watermelon skies
here in this desert
it’s been a while
since I felt your old
familiar patterns
use me up till I run dry
slow slipping tether
close my eyes
and I can still hear all our
tangled laughter
wishing wells and lucky stars
and stolen kisses
how I wonder where you are, dear
cause now you’ve never felt so far away
underneath Bermuda skies
this could be heaven
I reach out and touch your face
and all your familiar creases
never thought to question why
and you didn’t either
close our eyes and melt the sun
into a satin ether
crawling in between the bars
nights under mirrors
now I wonder where you are
moving targets in that great white light
I pulled you nearer
but you slipped right through my arms, didn’t you?
shadows fill in sadness
stars explode in madness
come a little closer, babe
give me a kiss
for every year we made it
kisses end in violence
negotiated silence
move a little closer, babe
if I wanted to hurt you
you’d be dead by now

What an unbelievable cover album. I'm not a fan of several of the original songs on this album, but man am I a fan of Clint's renditions! I hope there are are more of these to come!
