Burning

You know these words are meant for you
Like careless wishes coming true
You know there ain’t no other way
The kids be calling you someday
Don’t you know that I am a-burning?
Every inch o’ mine a-burning
I’m bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-burning
Burning on your fuel
Can’t you see that I am a-burning?
From all the fire and all the yearning
I done told you that I’m burning
Burning cause of you
Burning on your fuel
You get no say I get no sleep
Lust is the color o’ your lip
Lust is to weigh your weight in gold
Be rich in mercy for my soul
Don’t you know that I am a-burning?
Can’t you feel the heat of burning?
Love come down and it’s concerning
Burning on your fuel
Can’t you see that I am a-burning?
I feel the tables never turning
And there is nothing to be learning
I’m burning ‘cause of you
Burning on your fuel
Burn, burn down, can’t fight the flame, ain’t gonna tame the dame
Burn, burn down, can’t fight the flame, there ain’t no blame or shame
Burn, burn down, can’t fight the flame, go-go-go
Burn, burn down, can’t fight it, no!
Don’t you know that I am a-burning?
Can’t see the power overturning
Bessie be oh so discerning
While burning on such fuel
Don’t you know that I am a-burning?
Every inch o’ mine a-burning
I’m bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-burning
Burning on your fuel
Burning ‘cause of you

The Yodeler
02:20
|
|

I’m a boy with taste in trouble
She’s a lot and trouble’s double
So when she’s around I stammer
Piggy-dugga-jiggy-jammer
She’s a-fine and she’s a-pretty
Once she’s out the city ‘s gritty
Wish she’d rather bite her lip
Heartbeat pounding in my grip
Do it right and do it proper
When she’s on you never stop her
Lou is waiting on the corner
Have you ever rocked a yodeler?
Making love is never tender
When the gall proves gender splendor
Love is pain and power and fear
When she’s yodeling in my ear
Do it right and do it proper
When she’s on you never stop her
Jack looks old but Joe is older
Have you ever rocked a yodeler?
Do it right and do it proper
When she’s on, you never stop her
Sue is riding on a chopper.
Have you ever rocked a yodeler?

Pretty Face Of Yours
05:40
|
|
||
Be at ease, I would never put you down
Be at ease, I should never see you frown
I’m in love with that pretty face of yours
Be at ease, gods are men and men do die
Be at ease, devils never wondered why
I’m in love with that pretty face of yours
Then we break up to the sound of music
Pale and cold but we can use it, Norse
That pretty face of yours
I won’t stop till we march back to Versailles
Come on, honey dripper, don’t cry, force
That pretty face of yours
Pretty face of yours, who can forget it? Who disavows what they see? How can it be?
That face of yours, bound to possess me, fixin’ to sin for my fall. My all in all! That face of yours!
Be a tease, dirty shame for the chosen few
Be at ease, for the times that I’m feeling blue
I’m in love with that pretty face of yours
Be at ease, cool your mouth before you scat
Be at ease, all the girls and the boys know that
I’m in love with that pretty face of yours
(scooh-bee-dee-bum)
There’s no need to ask Troy’s theologian
All doors open to this Trojan horse
That pretty face of yours
I won’t bow to crossroads crossing father
While there’s time to take another course
That pretty face of yours
Pretty face of yours, who can forget it? Who disavows what they see? How can it be?
That face of yours, bound to possess me, fixin’ to sin for my fall. My all in all!
That face of yours!
Beatrice, do believe all that’s said in song
Serpent told us to wait till the time is wrong
I’m in love with that pretty face of yours
So we taste the fruit and lose the garden
Centuries of bliss without remorse
That pretty face of yours

Zombie Twist
02:47
|
|
||
They may lose a leg, they may lose an arm
They may lose a knee, can’t lose their charm
They may lose a wrist, but zombies can twist
They may lose an eye, they may lose a tooth
They may lose the aptitude to understand the truth
They were gone and missed, zombies can twist
Zombies can twist, zombies can twist
Zombies can twist behind the cemetery mist
They will not be kissed but zombies can twist
You make me cry / wave goodbye / lose a wrist / Zombie Twist
Never heard of Nietzsche, Plato and Descartes
They believe contemporary art is not real art
They will raise a fist, zombies can twist
Zombies can twist, zombies can twist
Zombies can twist behind the cemetery mist
They will not be kissed but zombies can twist

Left Alone
04:35
|
|

Oh, all night long, darling you, you were gone
All night long, I looked for your trail
All night long, but darling I failed
To reach your broken heart
I was wrong, all night long
Well inside my broken home, I’m left alone
Oh, can’t you see, can’t you feel, oh, nothing’s real?
Won’t you find your way back to me?
I got lies for you to believe
And I’ll have your soul to deceive
But you’re gone all night long
Well inside my broken home, I’m left alone

Paid In Gold
04:25
|
|

Black shoe-laces on a golden shoe
Braids and braces I’m in love wit chew
Biggest earner Jonesy’s ever seen
Ain’t seen many ‘cause I’m just sixteen
I get paid in gold, yeah, that’s alright, love’s getting old
She will ask for silver, I don’t mind, I don’t believe her
Play your little games
Zee Zoo zebra walking through my door
I’m no keeper, I need more than yore
All that hokum you can tell apart
She the one that she done broke my heart
Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no soul
I get paid in rock n’ roll, yeah!

Empty Refrigerator
03:39
|
|
||
Let me get back home, feel like being alone
I have itches and you have skin
For the fourth year on now the milk is gone
So it’s thirst itself we ‘re drinking
Get me out of here with a juju fear
I will have to wait till morning
By no means of cheer, although you are near
I’ve been trying and I’ve been moaning
Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I think you’re mine
Go back to sixty-nine
Now you sweat sweet drops and your ankle rocks
But you feel I ‘d hate to love you
Bodies move like mobs, in a year of sobs
Helicopters right above you
Since I might not go, two times in a row
Shall we have our savoring game?
And you won’t say no, ‘cause I know you know
In the end you’ll scream your own name
Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah! I think you’re mine
Go back to a sixty-nine
Empty refrigerator. Life goes on and on. You never really cry
Empty refrigerator. Life goes on and on. You never think you’ll die
Empty refrigerator. Life goes on and on. One small step on your own
Empty refrigerator. Life goes on and on. One step in the unknown

In My Time Of Dying
03:23
|
|

Well in my time of dying I don't want nobody to mourn
All I wanted you to do is place a gold coin on my tongue
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well , so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
Well, meet me Jesus, meet me, meet me by my cooling bed
If my love should fail to me
Lord, don’t you bleed no thorns on her head
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up my dying bed
Lord, in my time of dying don't want nobody to cry
All I wanted you to do is let the venom die
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
Jesus gonna make my dying bed

Once upon a morning light / Way out by the river tide
Way out there was Jenny seen / Dancing like a voodoo queen
Jenny was a Dixie craze / She had seen no better days
She was young and she was pure / Both the sickness and the cure
She weren’t trying to impress / Dancing in her dripping dress
Dancing on the river tide /More to see and less to hide
Once upon a morning light / Way out by the river tide
Way out there was Jenny seen / Dancing like a voodoo queen
She was caught by jelly Pete / with his bowler and his gleet
He was struck but he was sly / Pete came with a vile eye
Go down Jenny, go go go, he came with a vile eye
Go down Jenny, go go go, Jenny knows!
Jenny spoke into his ear / whispering words the dead can hear
Told of tales of sinking land / That was mapped onto her hand
One could juke to Bordeaux ghost and then straight to Pepper Coast
And then back to Baton Rouge with a liar and a stooge
Go down Jenny, go go go, go straight back to Baton Rouge
Go down Jenny, go go go, Jenny knows!
When the river tide will fall, you might hear that voodoo call of the virgin queen that fell
for the trick she knew so well

Got Bloodsucker Blues
05:50
|
|

I’ve been around for four hundred years
My stone kept clean of blame and tears
Nothing inside, nothing to see
But you can feel, there’s something there, a thing to use
I got Bloodsucker Blues
I have returned, I always do
Soul torn and burned, but not for you
I’m always there, yet never found
I’ve been around, for four hundred years, got blood for booze
I got Bloodsucker Blues
“Comme les anges à l'oeil fauve,
Je rentrerai dans ton alcôve
Et vers toi glisserai sans bruit
Avec les ombres de la nuit;
Et je te donnerai, ma brune,
Des baisers froids comme la lune
Et des caresses de serpent
Autour d'une fosse rampant.
Quand viendra le matin livide,
Tu trouveras ma place vide,
Où jusqu'au soir il fera froid.
Ce soir il fera froid.
Comme d'autres par la tendresse,
Sur ta vie et sur ta jeunesse,
Moi, je veux régner par l'effroi.
Je veux régner par l'effroi.”
Pumping with blue, my Bourbon vein, no heart to gain lies before you
And on my door, creeper in fog, no salty dog gives to the poor
I’ve been around, four hundred years of blame and tears can’t bring me down
I got Bloodsucker Blues
