If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing and hung around for a while
Trying to keep your spirits up and your fever down
And I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to and I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to and I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Leave me if you need to and I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Angel flying too close to the ground

Two-Headed Boy

Two headed boy
All floating in glass
The sun it has passed
Now it's blacker than black
I can hear as you tap on your jar
I am listening to hear where you are
I am listening to hear where you are
Two headed boy
Put on Sunday shoes
And dance round the room to accordion keys
With the needle that sings in your heart
Catching signals that sound in the dark
Catching signals that sound in the dark
We will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving
Now they just lay there in their climb
Two headed boy
With pulleys and weights
Creating a radio played just for two
In the parlor with a moon across her face
Through the music he sweetly displays
Silver speakers that sparkle all day
Made for his lover who's floating and choking with her hands across her face
And in the dark we will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving
Now they just lay there in their climb
Two headed boy
There is no reason to grieve
The world that you need is wrapped in gold silver sleeves
Left beneath christmas trees in the snow
I will take you and leave you alone
Watching spirals of white softly flow
Over your eyelids and all you did
Will wait until the point when you let go

These Days
03:33

Well I've been out walking
And I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to
Well I stop my rambling
And I don’t do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I’ll see another highway
Well I had a lover
And I don’t think I’ll risk another these days
These days
Well if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
Oh, it's just that I've been losing
For so long
La da da da da ohhh ooh
But I'll keep on moving
There’s thingsabout me improving
These days
These days
These days I sit on cornerstones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
‘Cause I had not forgotten them

Tango Till They're Sore
03:31

Well you play that tarantella all the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
They drive along the pipeline, they tango 'til they're sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed for evermore
Make sure they play my theme song
Guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig, kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed 'til I get back in town
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I'll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed for evermore
Just make sure she's all in calico and the color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch hold your breath 'til the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town
Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed for evermore
So send me off to bed for evermore
So send me off to bed for evermore

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Ifin' you don't know by now
No there ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crowin' at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason that I'm trav'lin' on
But don't think twice cause it's all right
And it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
The light I never knowed
No there ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
Cause I'm on the dark side of the road
I keep wishin' there was somethin' you might do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But we never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice cause it's all right
No it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Honey I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' wallkin' way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I am told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice cause it's all right
So long honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye is too good a word, babe
So I just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
Or you could have done better, but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice cause it's all right
No honey don't think twice cause it's alright
