The last horizons I can see are filled with bars and factories
and in them all we fight to stay awake...
Drink enough of anything to make this world look new again
Drunk drunk drunk in the gardens and the graves
She had nothing left to say so she said she loved me
I stood there grateful for the lie...
Drink enough of anything to make this girl look new again

Well tell me do you think it'd be alright
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see I'm in no shape for driving
Anyway I've got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best I'd ever had
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago
I may not be alone

Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around

(Jesse Valenzuela, Jim Swafford)

You can see it in her letters
On the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stranger
I think she's coming round again
Tell me Mrs. Rita
What's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me
Why do lovers come and go
Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that just the end
I just hope she's coming round again
I've been keeping myself busy

UNTIL I FALL AWAY (3:51)
(Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela)

I want to tell
If I am or am not myself
It’s hard to know
How far or if at all could go
Waiting far too long
For something I forgot was wrong
I don’t know all the answers
I think that I’ll find
Or have it within the time
But it’s all that I’ll have in mind

Until I fall away (until I fall away)

so i guess i must have just been dreaming,
when i thought i heard myself say no,
and anyway it looks like noone heard me,
so here i go.
cuz when youre in the company of strangers,
or with the strangers you call friends,
you know before you start
just how its gonna end.

and so remember when those doors swing open,
and all the drinks are passed around,
anytime the pickins' look too easy,

well, she'll be leavin today i do know
so far away
i'm feelin so blue and it shows
in every single way

once that girl, she was mine
for such a short time
we used to spend every night
now all i do is cry
they say, that you can't miss,
somethin that you've never had
so tell me why,
why i could feel so bad

well we used to walk down the path
just like lovers do
she'll hold my hand and we'll laugh

(Jesse Valenzuela)

I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you is all I've got
But the whole damn thing is what I want
I've been waiting around here all night long
Holding on to these memories until they come undone
My hands are tied...
Telephone's ringing by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face

All last summer, in case you don't recall,
I was yours and you were mine
Forget it all
Is there a line that I could write
That's sad enough to make you cry?

And all the lines you wrote to me were lies
Months roll past the love that you struck dead
Did you love me only in my head
There were things you said and did to me
They seem to come so easily

The love I thought I'd won
You give for free

I’ve lost my mind
On what I’d find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road

Fools in the rain
If the sun gets through
Fire’s in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road

Dark clouds fall in when the moon was near
Birds fly by A.M. in her bedroom stare
There's no tellin’ what I might find
I couldn’t see I was lost at the time...

On Allison Road

Time won't stand by forever
If I know it's true
And I've learned not to say never
Else I'll seem the fool

29, you'd think I'd know better
Livin' like a kid
Cause when my lies may seem less than clever
It's when I fall for it

Only time will tell
If wishing wells
Will bring us anything
Fade like scenes
From childhood dreams
Forgotten memories

Some rides don't have much of a finish

(Doug Hopkins)

Is it any wonder that the stars just don't rush by
When you're only doin' 60 through this oh-so-vacant night
But it's lacking something big this time
What the hell did you expect to find
Aphrodite on a barstool by your side
Twelfth night we go
After something everyone should know
Somewhere in the distance out of sight...
Then I saw: gin mill rainfall
What do you remember if at all

(Jesse Valenzuela, Doug Hopkins)

New York City where it's cold as hell
And the streetlights shone in my blue room
I was thinking about the nights we spent
Back in Galveston beneath the Georgia moon
It was early and I'd had my share
I was countin' change for a cab ride back to bed
She looked to me through the cold night air
And thoughts of you kicked off inside my head

Party girls between the sheets
She can't show that much to me
I'd rather drink until I see
Angels tonight
I had a girl I thought was mine
I wised up and just in time
Such wisdom makes these sluts look like
Angels tonight...
As we collide as the lights go out
There's someone else she thinks about
It's all for the best that I can't figure out
Angels tonight...

She came to L.A. all the way from Boston town
She wound up on the screen where I saw her goin' down
Now I can't see you, I can't see you at all
No I don't know you, I don't know you at all
I bought her films, yeah I bought all her magazines
And I watched her every move until I saw her in my dreams
Now I can't stand it, see you caught from behind
No I don't know you, girl you gotta be mine

(Vocals--Jesse Valenzuela)

The fireworks from the rooftops fall down around this hotel
So tell it seems like so long since I've had you beside me here
We used to walk together
I've nothing to show me now and it seems like so long
Since I've had you beside me here
Well he's got ropes and chains all around her heart
And nothing I can say could ever tear them apart

(Vocals--Jesse Valenzuela)

She could be anywhere at all
I know I'm heading for a fall
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight
I want to wake up next to her
But I know there's something wrong
We used to have all kinds of things
Now I know the pain heartache can bring
Well I want to see her every night
I make a wish and hold her tight

Here's a little something that I brought here for you

It ain't much but it might just do

Fairly serious could hardly say

that I couldn't give my heart away

I couldn't give my heart away

It's never enough to feel and say

Throw my promises away

Several things that I could do

But I couldn't give my heart to you

I couldn't give my heart to you

Well darlin' I don't know much

But I know I learned so much

My life depends on your touch

For my love is a river running soul deep

Way down inside me it's soul deep

Too big to hide and it can't be denied

My love is a river running soul deep

I'd put myself to death for ya

Just to show I adore ya

Nothin' I wouldn't do for ya

Cause my love is a river running soul deep

Well I'm a little too ripe to be actin' like this

Like some young guy barely got his first kiss

From my first baby steps to my last cigarette

Every single little thing was leading to this

Christine Irene

Pretty as a girl on a magazine

Christine Irene

My Christine Irene

You've been around too long to react so coy

Like I'm something that you'd best avoid

Well I hear that train a comin'

It's rollin' around the bend

I ain't seen the sunshine

Since I don't know when

Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison

And time keeps draggin' on

That train keeps rollin'

On down to San Antone

When I was just a baby

My mama told me, "Son,

Always be a good boy

Don't you ever play with guns"

But I shot a man in Reno

Just to watch him die

UNTIL I FALL AWAY (3:51)
