Last Kiss 04:30
She kissed me for the last time yesterday She kissed me for the last time, here where I lay You know I ain't moved an eye since she said goodbye I wish I could cry when I hear her cry But she kissed me for the last time yesterday I lay beside her, but she don't know Oh I lay beside her 'cause I can't let go And when she shivers in the cold, cold air does she think with a shudder that I might be there I lay beside her, but she don't know One thing I never had was a peaceful mind One thing I never had was a peaceful mind But she knew how to ease my restless soul gonna haunt that woman when my body's cold 'cause she is peaceful, she is mine She kissed me for the last time yesterday Oh she kissed me for the last time, here where I lay Ain't no heaven or hell gonna take me away Nobody gonna tell me I can't stay When she kissed me for the last time yesterday

Punchline 04:01
If I had a mirror a canvas and a brush I'd paint for you a portrait one to make you blush of a man that you have broken a flower you have crushed and I'd mail it right to your doorstep yeah I'd pay to have it rushed Then you could hang me down the hall on a nail in the wall or leave me down in the basement and let the spiders crawl all over me Laughed so hard I cried Laughed so hard I choked I don't even know why I'm laughing when I'm the punchline to the joke Well I might be best forgotten a tin man left to rust a dream you got lost in a memory you can't trust colored between the lines I painted my last stroke I signed his name at the bottom That was a name you never spoke So I've taken down the mirrors cleared away the smoke in the cruel, unforgiving light I'm the punchline to the joke Laughed so hard I cried Laughed so hard I choked I don't even know why I'm laughing when I'm the punchline to the joke

Paraselene 07:07
The blind eyes are turning 'cause I'm the living proof that nothing is for certain and the moon is split in two and I wonder if the sky above me is darkest over you or did you find the bright side of the moon The bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon The honey bees are swarming wild rattlesnakes in bloom the band is up for homicide they've murdered Claire De Lune Don't Turn on the sun while everyone's hiding their wounds and looking for the bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon And I know I've picked the wrong place to die When I see you cross the room You're selling me your melancholy eyes but they're not really blue Black holes revealing nothing nothing I can use Just shadows on the bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon It's only shadows On the bright side of the moon Only shadows on the bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon Bright side of the moon

The morning drum is pounding but my heart won't beat the tune Drag out all the furniture, to the middle of the room Tell me will you meet me when the moon's on fire and the earth is still Tell me that you will Tell me that you will Tell me, will you meet me when the moon's on fire and the earth is still Tell me that you will Tell me that you will, child 'cause I have seven children in the ground there's nothing left on earth to get me down don't you know I curse my lord above for taking everything I love seven children in the ground. and tell me will you me when the moon's on fire and the earth is still? Tell me that you will, Tell me that you will Mourning drum is pounding I'm trembling at the sound break up all the furniture and burn the building down Tell me will you meet me when the ashes settle all over the hill Tell me that you will Tell me that you will and tell me will you meet me when the moon's on fire and the earth is still Tell me that you will Tell me that you will now 'cause I have seven children in the ground I have seven children in the ground Nothing left on earth to get me down Nothing left on earth Nothing left on earth to get me down

Ben is big Ben is tall Ben is the one who's gonna kill us all Got giant hands crush cities to sands Might be on your side but he waits for no man He's running out He can't stand still and when he's in a bottle he's the one to kill Ben is old Ben is young He was there when the very first man was hung Ben is big but he can be small He's hung next to Jesus on your mama's wall Ben is a healer but he's out of his mind Sometimes he crawls even though he can fly He ain’t your friend He ain’t your foe Don’t care what you do Don’t care where you go He is the ocean Where we all get tossed Benny’s the destroyer Benny’s the boss Ben is big Ben is tall Ben is the one who's gonna kill us all Ben is free when we're in jail Ben is a snake swallows his own tail Ben is a storm in which we all are lost Benny’s the Destroyer Benny’s the boss

Hell's on fire, I've been told But it feels to me mighty cold Rake remains, twist in the coals and I find my place among fine souls and that's a place you'll never know Nothing left, just the sound of one heart beating underground Gonna wake up the dead, gonna wake up the dead gonna wake up the dead, gonna wake up the dead Your wicked spell has lost its charm Can't do no good, you can't do no harm You had your day, and now the devil wants to get paid Be on your way, hey-hey Honey did you think you were unbound to the devil's deal 'cause he wants you now It's your debt, you gotta pay in his bed, the one you made And that's where you'll stay Nothing left, just the sound of one heart beating underground Gonna wake up the dead, gonna wake up the dead gonna wake up the dead, gonna wake up the dead Your wicked spell has lost its charm Can't do no good, you can't do no harm You had your day, and now the devil wants to get paid Be on your way, hey-hey and that's what I say The devil wants to get paid
