You are the beautiful lover
My Lover
I am the distant shore
So far away
There is so much to uncover
Love's hiding
What is this distance for
What is it for

Out of the dark I am falling
I'm fallin'
Into your warm candle flame
So bright
A butterfly pinned to love's calling
Love's calling
Why must this magic be named
Must it be named

We've filled the air
With silent stares

The driver says it's gettin' late
But I know that he's lyin'
I got me no important dates
My, how time is flyin'

CHORUS:
Well I keep on, keep on fallin'
I keep on, keep on fallin'
I keep on, keep on fallin'
Fallin' down home

Oh, la, la, la, la, Oh, la, la, la, la
A pretty lady smiled at me
Love that fancy dancin'
Get back home where we can see
Do up some romancin'

CHORUS

I killed an ant
With my guitar
Underneath romantic Indiana stars
He was a fool
I was so cruel
The power of music is no tool
So I hit him in the head
And now he's dead

I killed him there
By the front door
Well it was something he was really asking for
He was a chump
It was no bump
Or any ordinary lump
No I squashed his little head
And now he's dead

You been slippin' around a bit
You been sayin' things that just don't fit
You been handin' me the same old line
About the proper place and the proper time
You been tellin' me a bunch of lies
I bet you thot that I was hypnotized

CHORUS:
Well, my eyes is wide open, and I can see
You been tryin' to make a fool of me
I'm gettin sick, I've had enough
I'm tired of your stuff

Unlock these chains and let me out
I want the love you're talkin' about
I want a job, I wanna care
I want to find you everywhere

I want a house and a fireplace
Screw the pain, I want a smile on my face
I want to take some kind of cure
I'm tired of being cold and sure

I know I'm not your high school dream
Nah, he got lost in the washing machine
I am the student who picks his nose

You bring out the fool in me
The blind man at the bar
Who whistles for his drink and his cane
And shows everyone his scar

You're lovely, and you're cruel
You got me in a trance
You put my soul in those hot, hot coals
And you make my spirit dance

CHORUS:
Motorboat to heaven
Baby's got the key
Tell me, how am I 'sposed
To get in close
Back here on these waterskis

Mama's in the bathroom
Waitin' to be saved
Papa's in the bedroom
Just diggin' up his grave

Brother's in the kitchen
Playin' with a knife
Sister's in the attic
Just laughin' at her life

CHORUS:
And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

Everybody's nervous
The window shades are down
Angels flutter up above

Well I wandered in
To the house of mirrors
With a camera and an old shotgun
I was taking some pictures
Of me and my fears
And exploding them one by one
When all of a sudden
Much to my surprise
A lady with a fine tooth comb
Struck a match up to my face
And said, "Get out of this place
You better leave the ugly truth alone"

CHORUS:
Overcoats
Overcoats

The fallen angel shivers underneath the August moon
The lady of the house goes up in ashes
He crawled out through the future but the past came back too soon
And the present just occurs in sudden flashes

CHORUS:
But in your eyes I see the pain
Help me ride this crazy train
I am lost and you are smilin' in the rain

Everybody's looking for a place to live their dreams

Oh the moon hangs down
Like some old evening gown
Forgotten by some lovely southern maiden

Oh the stars are her tears
And the sky a skin of years
That she has most graciously given

Now who am I
To think that she might bat an eye
At my heart that lay so dangerously open

'Neath the sweet magnolia tree
The world's a fragrant memory
And the lady of the night has finally spoken
