Hospital Roll Call
(Lanegan)

Sixteen

Hotel
(Lanegan)

From the dive down to the well
Usually I fall, tell myself 
It doesn't matter anyway
That this is just another day
I don't speak the truth too much
Hear the roars and the hush
And the cold chill of time
And I'm happy murderin' my mind

Oh I remember your voice
Turnin' around and around and around in my head
Now it's just like you said
Everything inside is dead

From the pillar to the post
I kill what I can miss the most
Of the blame when you get in touch
Another town another torch
Thought I saw you in a dream
Fill the hours in between
When I call myself alone
Then I disappear below

I remember your face
But it's been a long been a long been a long long day
What I did along the way
Well I wouldn't care to say

Stay
(Lanegan/Johnson)

The heart will pound until the breath is gone
You know what I love so, put me on
Something has badly gone wrong with me
Livin's not hard, it's just not easy
Always keepin' the dogs off

Down like the rain, down like the rain
Comin' down like the rain, comin' down
Oh I wanna be there, by your side
Cause this feels like dyin' baby
Let me stay around, let me stay around

You take my heart, and my breath is gone
You know what I love so, put me on
Feel a little light-headed, you know I'd have to be
Believin' ain't hard, it's just not easy
Stayin' blind to the obvious

Down like the rain, down like the rain
Comin' down like the rain, comin' down
Oh I wanna be there, by your side
Cause this feels like dyin' baby
Let me stay around, let me stay around
(repeat)

Bell Black Ocean
(Lanegan/Johnson/Richards)

We came to walk on this boulevard love
Don't care where we're goin'
While it's true in time, we might close our eyes
This won't die
Now we stop by the oceanside love
You are all I see
And it isn't wrong, that we don't belong
Anymore
We came to walk on this boulevard love
I don't care where we're goin'
While it's true in time, we might close our eyes
This won't die

Last One In The World
(Lanegan/Johnson)

Goodbye my friend I hate to see you go
You brought me down the stars
The last one in the world
I hear you cry
But let's not waste this night
The last one in the world

Within your lonely room
I hear you whisper see you soon
I sense a dying spark
I watch you falling through the dark

Goodbye my friend, thank you for the dream
The last one in the world
I hear you cry
But let's not waste this night
The last one in the world

And I listen to you call
I hardly hear you at all
I walk the quiet night
Watch the river rolling by

The last one in the world (4x's)

Wheels 

(Lanegan)


Light ahead, proves that the wheels broke down
Here I am, still hangin' on
Well alright
Shadows only disappear
Just look around there's no one here
A little spirit turned my light on out and now
Can never be no doubt
You got to walk in the morning sun
And got to smile at everyone
Go my love on your way, to bigger and
Bright better days
And I'll go crazy for it all
And I won't stop lovin' you baby
Oh yeah here I am
This feeling inside a body
Light ahead, proves that the wheels broke down
Here I am, still spinnin' round
Shadows only disappear
Just look around there's no one here
A little spirit turned my light on out and now
Can never be no doubt
I'm gonna wait til the stars come down
My little love smiles on a wing
For all a raindrop and tears not wasted there
Been pourin' down all day
Runnin' round catchin' 'em baby
Run around catchin' 'em baby
Whichever way they fall
Won't stop lovin' you baby
Whichever way you go
Oh yeah
Here I am
Here I am
Just runnin' round catchin' 'em
Whichever way they fall
All night long


Waiting On A Train
(Lanegan/Johnson)


It's time that I was leavin'
Shoulda left here long ago
You'd rather see me sorry
Than knowin' what I know

I wish it was asleep instead
Of hangin' here up above my head
I'm cryin'
In the winter time goin'

Pull all my shit together
Try for another breath
Lonely livin' sorrow
Holdin' on like death

From the play of lights below 
Is that church bells ringin' or my whistle blowin'
I don't care
I'm gone
Shootin' up and down the tracks

Mornin' comes, cold chills and shakes
Just remindin' me of my mistake
Well alright
Now get your smell off of me mama

It's time that I was leavin'
I left here long ago
You'd rather see me sorry
Than knowin' what you know
Wish it was asleep instead
Of hangin' here up above my head
Lady
Lady midnight crawlin'

Just waitiing on a train

Day And Night
(Lanegan)


Early morning, I don't mind
That's when I find you
Find you under orange skies
I'm gonna try and shine

Blue drownin' days
Thought I might go crazy
Blue lonesome nights away

Early evening, I don't mind
That's when I find you
Find you under orange skies
Makin' me try and shine

Blue drownin' days
Thought I was insane
Blue lonesome nights away

Praying Ground
(Lanegan/Johnson/Richards)


Not feelin' any pain
But I know that it's real
Never see the color of the day
In the darkness I kneel
Prayin' for sleep
Prayin' that it will come easy
But there's something else
I see it miles away

Don't know what time of year it is
I can remember the fall
Yet all my strange and simple games
Play out on top of a wall
Prayin for sleep
Prayin' for something so easy
If only the moon
Would have left me alone

Because Of This
(Lanegan/Johnson/Richards/Dana)


You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in a kiss
Somethin' I've missed
You burn away my disguise and galaxies fall
Because of this 
Because of this
It hurt
God knows that it does
And when it hurts sometimes
You're there to quiet my mind
Because of this
Because of this
You pry open my eyes
I resist but you do
And when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this (3x's)

Because of this (2x's)

Oh and it hurts sometimes
Cause you're there to quiet my mind

You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in your kiss
Something I've missed
You burn away my disguise
And the heavens fall
Because of this
Because of this
And it hurts
God knows that it does
But when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this (4x's)
