A road so long and so straight,
That I could roll this cigarette.
Never not feeling safe
from anybody but myself
Oh, Coyote of the plains
under the panel of the sun.
Though we call it a different name-
to the same place we will run
Along the way.
I've got a long way to go.
I've got a long way to go.
And it won't be long.
It won't be long.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, sweet daughter of your mother.
The saddest smile I've ever seen.
Forsake your broken father,
but we thank him for the seed
he threw away.
I've got a long way to go.
I've got a long way to go.
And it won't be long.
It won't be long.
Yeah, I know.
I've got a long way to go.
I've got a long way to go.
And it won't be long.
It won't be long.
I know I don't belong.
Yeah, I know.

I went down to the river,
and the river, yeah it went through.
I went down to the river,
and the river,
yeah it was you (x2).
We walked out to the colors,
where those wildflowers, where those wildflowers grow.
How we used them for covers.
No, baby, the orange ones can't come home.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
No, babe, no I'm not dying.
I was dried by the canyons.
Oh, how they blew their sweet wind down.
My hot, warm nervous hands-
they left me out,
oh where I've been (x2).
Birds of prey they were preying.
The only prayer, it's in their heads.
Birds of prey they were praying.
That day I know what they said,
'cause they said it loud.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
Oooh, oh I'm alive.
No, babe, no I'm not dying.
Thought I was dying (x2)
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
Oooh, oh I'm alive.
Oooh, hey I'm alive.
No, babe, no I'm not dying.

Once I Was

Once I was the rattle on the far end of the snake.
And then I was the fault line that was making you shake.
And then I was the arrow set out for the kill.
And then I was the quarry that night we tried to fill.
Then I was the tight-rope on which we loved to dance.
But all of these most dear to me: I got to be your man.
So, honey, don't say that you won't be loving me, too.
So, honey, don't say that you won't.
Once I was a hero flying way too high.
Looking for a symbol that wasn't in the sky.
So then I was a zero- a shadow in the night.
See, Kev was never nimble. And no my love was never light.
So, honey, don't say that you won't be loving me, too.
So, honey, don't say that you won't.
Once I was a Sunday too close to December.
Or was I some summer night? That much I can't remember.
Like it matters anyways, because the story is all the same.
I couldn't pay my cellphone bill and I had only you to blame.
So, honey, don't say that you won't be loving me, too.
So, honey, don't say that you won't.
Honey, don't say that you won't.

All The King's Men

Well, I think it's fine if you slowly lose your mind,
Just as long as you know that it's been lost the whole time.
So I won't regret those words that I said when I was lookin' in the mirror last night.
I know that you don't need it but I think it bears repeating.
I said life is hard, and no one's gonna make it out alive.
Mother don't you cry if ever I did die. 'Cause I like to think that I would be doing alright (x2)
And Jesus Christ, and all the King's men won't save me from me tonight.
There's days that I wish I was like the other kids.
Just happy and satisfied-
Not worried all the time. You say sorry without a smile,
when we both know that you're not.
Sure, it must be nice when you finally close your eyes.
You actually sleep at night.
But I love this road, though it's cracked and filled with holes.
These toes aren't gonna stub themselves (x2)
And Jesus Christ, and all the King's men won't save me from me tonight.
There's monsters around us and sharks just below,
but that's not the worst of it all.
There's faces next door, they've brought trouble here before,
but that's not what scares me the most.
It's myself in a mask with the one that I loved last.
It's a shame that she had to be a ghost.
