The Grammy Collection

1.
Two turtledoves In the full flush of love Left for the city alone Got their feathers ruffled So they left their home Punch drunk on the Fourth of July Preaching and weaving under a darkening sky Hands in the pockets of my jeans This rabbit's foot has lost its charm it seems This bird just can't be happy enough without love My stand is that I wanted to be a part of This family that your dreams have become But its too much How did I make that woman cry? I wasn't myself on that Fourth of July And where did I put my keys? I'm spinning, I'm spitting off of the pavement like steam This bird just can't be happy enough without love Unhappy and sober and I have to go Now I'll go
2.
From here I can see stars Lifting through the dark Countless flying souls Returning to their homes When my time is closing in And I am breathing my last breath I'll be looking toward the light At the people that have left Will you be there? The universe beneath our feet Playing hide and seek with the living Will you be there? It's all I've ever wanted Secrets of the world And the questions that plague us And revealed to you spirit Once was broken now is mending Here and now, there and here we can see Everything we want, we are free There's a joy that can be found If we leave our bodies now
3.
What is real and what is not Things remembered, things forgot I am not here, I am a ghost The faded reminder of a kindness lost Passing through me, taking from me Every once of evergy flowing through me I am not here, I am a ghost The faded reminder of a kindness lost Will you please let me live or die I can no longer stand Invisible hands seen invisible eyes Feeling less of a person these days Take what you will, it's me that you kill With your selfish ways

Again, I did not see you Days pass and I'm wondering Where do you hide away I can look, but I cannot see Your house on the corner Is where you sleep with Nobody to hold in your arms Too long I've been lonely Is there anything that I can do for you now Now, when you look around You will see that I'm here for you Let your heart be you guide Let it help you decide, you will figure out Where do you feel at home, and Where do you find comfort, when you're all alone Hopelessy wanting more I can't have what I cannot see And it's all because of me
6.
When the sun comes up over the high school When the sun comes up over the jail The sun comes up at the Onion Cellar The flies all hatch and their bodies begin to swell The more I see the more feel We're going to get a bad surprise If everybody gets fucked up Then we can be ourselves tonight If the mood ain't right at the high school And the black clouds are starting to swell If the mood ain't right at the bar tonight We'll have to learn to tuck in ourselves The more I see the more feel That the sun may never rise When everybody gets fucked up Then they get a meanness in their eyes The more I see the more feel We're going to get a bad surprise Everybody gets fucked up And soon they'll be trying to get inside
