Angels Must Smile Like ThatWoke up lying in her garden bed
The sun came up behind her head
I touched her hair,
then brushed it back
Oh, angels must smile like that
She's a picture of the world
Built Her a CloudI've got a princess who
wears a second hand dress
She tells me "Baby,
I know you've done your best"
Though I've found comfort
In the love we vowed
I can't help thinkin' that I've
Chicken Crosses the RoadSo you concede
You're on the spot
Find all you need
In what you've got
And run
Everybody come
To the otherside
It's all right
Dancing on LightHeart, warming in the afterglow
Right here, where I see the world below
Time stands still when the thunder rolls
With a thousand angels singing
And every bell is ringing
I go
Oh oh oh oh Dancing on Light
Ever AfterShe makes her way to the factory
She's living this side of the rainbow
Oh, broken hearts giving up on "happy ever after"
She seldom cries
She's gotten used to steel-grey skies
Out to the train, thru the turnstile
Down to the city he goes
Here He Comes, Second TimeBop! Bomp!
Eddie saves money and time
He puts them in a bottle for Sue
They'll have the rest of their lives
To figure out what they wanna do
Get that operation
It's a facial reconstruction
Or a second television
One More TimeGone beyond the gate
We must all pass some day
You took a part of me
A broken heart left here to play
This sad/sweet music
The air that I breathe fills me with longing
I thought that I saw your face in the crowd
But that couldn't be
Papa Danced on Olvera StreetAcross the way from Union Station
is our family's favorite stand
You can take a seat and
eat and drink,
hear the mariachi bands
L.A.'s oldest road is a market place
run by charming and kind latinos
You'll ignore faint scents of sewage
Picture of YouIn my weary soul I hold
The treasure of Your ever-present love
It's never dark enough to put me out
or take me down
Out of reach, out of bounds
So deep and wide (pictures of You)
So clear and bright
Pie HoleI'm all for strong women
and what they have to say
They deserved liberation
Same work, equal pay
I like restaurants or parties
with mixed company
but there's times I like hangin' out
with just my buddies and me
Song of InnocenceA child floating down on a cloud in the sky
Said "Sing me a song 'bout a lamb"
So I sang and he smiled, so I sang again
As he placed a reed in my hand
And with my rural pen I stained the water clear
And wrote this song for every little child to hear
Ten Gallon HatI'll put a ten gallon hat
over my devil horns
I'll lasso the sunset, in fact
I'll wear it like a uniform
They'll say "There goes one good man!"
I might fool 'em for another day
then at the crack of one glorious dawn
I'll ride away
The Twisthang on, believe
there's nothing up my sleeve
i've got no magic tricks to save the day
put down the gun
you're not helping anyone
and i'm not about to run or back away
don't walk the fence
WaitingI'm waiting for the endless dawn
I'm looking out for clouds to walk upon
The sun's rising, in a golden sky, rising
Waiting for You
I am here, waiting here for You
I'm waiting for the happy end
I'm looking for the time to start again
With What I Should Have SaidWhen I'm by myself
I'm quite the magician
with the turn of the phrase
and the juxtaposition
But give me a crowd
and watch me go fishin'
Turn up the heat
and I'm out of the kitchen
