Three cheers for the weekend, it's about time
It feels like years, since on a friday we could unwind
and it's time to feel that free
I had dreams that sit hazy now in my mind
sometimes screams, sometimes whispers, it'll be fine
and it's time to feel so free
I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time
Three cheers, or maybe ten before I go blind
If someone steers, I can hit the pedals just fine
and it's fine that I cant see
I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time
I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time
And it's fine to feel that free
I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time
I got nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but nothing, but time
And it's fine to feel that free
And it's OK to see that sea
And it's good enough to be just be
And it's fine....

The Lucky Tripler

Good fortune follows us in time, does it not?
But I win and I lose day to day.
Put a blanket on my life, fast cash, when i scratch,
when i scratch, scratch, scratch.
My friend Bill Jocko hits sometimes, does he not?
When he wins, he loses a couple days.
She filled the driveway with all his things, and closed her eyes
and waved goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I hope you get lucky,
1 2 3 times
and 3 2 1
I hope it becomes a life of love
Good fortune found me just in time, did it not?
I was ready to throw my chips away
she puts a blanket down, and closes her eyes
and now I'm on fire, fire, fire
I hope you get lucky,
1 2 3 times
and 3 2 1
I hope it becomes a life of love

Always Almost Summer
04:32
|

Come to bed at midnight she'd say
What happens at night disappears in the quiet of day
We said we'd stop if we started to feel
That midnight she cried, and i knew i had broken the deal
and it was always almost summer
I ran down that hall the year I lived there
One night I said talk, I just need to hear words in the air
we never went out, i invited her in
and then pulled out the rug from a real chance at love again
and it was always almost summer
it was always almost summer
then each night at nine, Leonard Cohen would spin
she'd come down to my room, sing along, to "Marianne"
she said they're no threat, those guys are my friends
she stormed out when i asked to know where the hell she had been
and it was always almost summer
it was always almost summer
and it was always almost summer
and it was never just right enough
and I always looked over my shoulder
I was always not quite in love

Get Gone
02:43
|

i saw a line of police on 95, they gotta get gone
i know they lost a guy in the line of fire
you dream about flying every night, get up and get gone
the only way these days you can get high
in the light of a memory i can see, the girl who got gone
she's faded like the paint on the hood of her car
nights in july, out in the field, we would get gone
i never told her how bright the stars seemed
go, a summer away
take that place, come back ok, ok
in a dream, i lie with you every night, and then you get gone
i dont know where you go in the light of the moon
i saw a line that was written in the sky, it told me get gone
now it's time to run in the dark of the waves
go, if i'm gonna stay
i gotta feel that sea, come back ok
and then go, a summer away
take that place, come back ok, ok
Nah nah nah, get gone

Hard Candy
04:13
|
|||
oh the night that you said you would come clean,
i put a quarter right into your machine, and it tumbled out
in the parking lot, before i was around
you had a long cry, it's your signature sound, thought you'd try it out
it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone
no honey left not even for the bee
you took a long drag from a dying tree, and you blew it out
i guess you were more pigeon than dove
more sugar, cream, more cheek than love, thought you'd try it out
it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone
i took a long hard swallow, but you didn't follow me down... you didn't come round
did i just walk by the window on your street?
you saw me walking, and now skinning my knee, what was it all about?
it was sweet hard candy, here until it's gone
i took a long hard swallow, but you didn't follow me down
and what was caught in my throat has melted now, long gone
long gone, long gone, long gone

Easy to Run
03:55
|
|||
Was it easy to run from me?
Did the breeze make you feel free
Like a blank from a stunt gun, was it easy to run?
You left to set your own mind at ease
While I wander in the deep trees
Now I'm free, like the wild geese, got the freedom to run
Would it be easier to call my name?
Let the years see if we feel the same
No no no, I'd rather take the blame, make it easy to run
I see you're coming around again
you just love that old "where you been?"
who am i to try and take a stand, when you're sick of the run
he's the wrong one
did you miss the light of my tired love?
so much light i had to cover up
you would say that it was not enough, so you needed to run
remember asking "did we choose it right?"
in the car, by the porch light
i said goodbye without a kiss goodnight, you made it easy to run
he's the wrong one
Was it easy to run from me?
Did the breeze make you feel free
Like a blank from a stunt gun, was it easy to run?
he's the wrong one

Tigers
03:35
|
|||
no one was coming for him
in the darkness of the night
and reciting all the lines they
had fed him all that time
in the silence of a closed eye, oh, i see the sun
in the water of a tired eye, further to go
and the tigers fight outside my door
no one could ever own him
in the brightness of a life
in recalling all the lines they
had fed him for so long
and suddenly a full moon, lit up all the trees
in the clearing of a black eye, further to go
and the tigers fight outside my door
in the silent night, i'm not owned anymore
let the tiger rise inside my heart
it's the end of night, and i'm not owned anymore
i'm not owned anymore, i'm not owned anymore, i'm not owned

lyrics
It's that Sunday in July, We’ve got nothing but time, Five whole days
Someone always caught my eye, A whole day goes by, before i say hey
She's just one or two cabins away, Lives across the state, But I can't think about that
How would I see her when we're home? Then the second day's gone, And I can't even drive
You my friends are gold
Silver ones at home, they can’t see inside me
Hey no i'm not swimming today, oh instead I can play, "Iko Iko" all day
It’s OK now I sleep fine, Smelling cedar or pine, even to this day
You my friends are gold
Silver ones at home, they can’t see inside me
You my friends are gold
Silver ones at home,
You my friends are gold
You can see inside me
