Delta Spirit Lyrics

Push It lyrics - Delta Spirit

The kindness of man decayed,

the forces of darkness played.

The last thing I heard her say,

"Keep pushing it down,

keep pushing it down on me."

The roar on Decatur grew,

and rushed up the avenue.

What can this city do?

Keep pushing it down.

Keep pushing it down on me.

Average America,

that's just the way it is.

Losing her interest.

Keep pushing it down.

Keep pushing it down on me...

From Now On lyrics - Delta Spirit

Down in Reseda where I left my keys.

You picked them up and stepped right in.

I had a vision about this very thing.

But it's probably in my head.

From now on, from now on,

from now on I'm gonna be your friend.

Your inner compass says you know I'm right.

No more letters, just a will.

All the prophets on the mountaintop.

But no one's hanging on the hill.

From now on, from now on,

from now on I'm gonna be your friend.

Something put you in my way,

may the moment awake in your head.

Fall in to the what is.

Let your body do all the rest.

May a love never break you.

Keep your heart on your sleeve now

don't let anyone else tell you different.

From now on, from now on,

from now on I'm gonna be your friend.

Live On lyrics - Delta Spirit

When Miguel hit the ground,

I threw the padlock in the trash.

Finally found out,

just how much it takes.

For one whole year he spent,

making me turn red.

Forget the light ahead,

forget the light ahead.

Did I come to meet

the felon in my head?

He's been stretching me,

right up on the racks.

For years it's been the same,

ignoring all the facts.

Forget the light ahead,

forget the light ahead.

It'll all live on....

Hiding from the moon,

under a live oak tree.

How could I forgive

what you said to me?

Sure as the sun will rise,

you pay the penance in your bed.

Forget the light ahead,

forget the light ahead.

It'll all live on...

We gotta leave at three,

take the highway round the bend.

Holding on to memories,

never let a good night end.

But as the morning came,

I can't remember what I said.

Forget the light ahead,

forget the light ahead.

It'll all live on...

Take Shelter lyrics - Delta Spirit

Take shelter, take cover.

The lightning and thunder.

When the skies light up

and the ground shudders.

We'll be there, with each other.

Take shelter, take refuge,

with the people who love you.

All of my friends and lovers,

will be there with each other.

Hold your head up to the light,

wait till it's over now.

Take my hand and hold it tight,

wait till it's over now.

Everything will be alright,

wait till it's over now,

wait till it's over now.

Now I'm so much older.

And I've been knocked down

over and over again.

I've waited, but nothing only ever comes.

Nothing only ever comes,

over and over and over.

Hold your head up to the light,

wait till it's over now.

Take my hand and hold it tight,

wait till it's over now.

Everything will be alright,

wait till it's over now,

wait till it's over now.

Yeah we wait till it's over,

all the weight brings you to your knees.

Yeah we hide under covers,

live our lives through the TV screen.

Yeah we're lost and we can't be found,

we're lost and we can't be found.

Hold your head up to the light,

wait till it's over now.

Take my hand and hold it tight,

wait till it's over now.

Everything will be alright,

wait till it's over now,

wait till it's over now…

Hold My End Up lyrics - Delta Spirit

The sun fell, another night began.

Shots rang out, all the people ran.

Confident in our innocence.

Promises out in the wilderness.

I know, I said, I would,

I know, I said, I would.

The martyred sons of a forgotten fit.

Bend a knee for your favorite.

So foolish in their innocence.

Promises out in the wilderness.

I know, I said, I would,

I know, I said, I would.

Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.

It's not too late to turn your back on them.

What kind of friend would lead you to your death?

Don't be foolish in your innocence.

Break the promise in the wilderness.

I know, you said, you would,

I know

Hold my end, hold my end up, hold my end.

I know, you said, you would,

I know, you said, you would...

Into The Wide lyrics - Delta Spirit

At the end of the last road in town.

At the edge of that wall of trees.

Further in, past any trail or sign.

Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.

The wind whispered no name,

but it’s voice cracked off the cliff.

Almost see it rush right through you.

Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.

It’s a grind, the business role.

Every new year, a new bell to toll.

Before it’s too late, I’m gonna save my soul.

Back to the wide open arms of the Earth.

Language Of The Dead lyrics - Delta Spirit

Take this lightning off of me,

too wonderful for me to keep.

All the stories of ancient greece.

Agamemnon, great Ulysses.

Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.

Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.

Well I'm not so self assured,

I can barely sing a word.

Fads of the 60's and the 19th century.

Leo Tolstoy and Robert E. Lee.

We got a war on in our duplicity,

suburban white blasphemy.

Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.

Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.

Well I'm not so self assured,

I can barely sing a word.

You can skim through every book they read,

you can dress a little smarter and claim your hit.

But the weight you've been seeking, you lifted it.

Plagiarize the twenties you never lived.

Take this lightning off of me,

too wonderful for me to keep.

Throw your idols into the sea.

Dreamers, get your own dream.

Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead.

Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said.

Well I'm not so self assured,

I can barely sing a word.

Well I'm not so self assured.

But I don't need to lift a word.

For My Enemy lyrics - Delta Spirit

As we all marched ahead,

in the early hours it began.

Letter in my pocket still unread.

The fire lit, the sky went red,

as we drew near the smell of death.

Treading through the heavy silence left.

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.

I was wrong.

Torn up, reborn the way they made me.

It's not long now.

I tried in vain to look away,

from the tragic sight of what remained.

Wiped off the atlas, our birth place.

Those of us who still survived,

took to the hills before they came.

Me, my knife, and my rifle sat in wait.

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.

I was wrong.

Torn up, reborn the way they made me.

It's not long now.

My love letter folded out.

My last chance I did it now.

I began to hear her read aloud,

"Don't you fill your heart with hate,

no matter what this world will take,

our love must not be disgraced."

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred.

You were right.

Torn up, reborn the way they made me.

It's not long now, it's not long now.

Patriarch lyrics - Delta Spirit

As the chill finally hit your skin.

Your accomplice turned you in.

Juliet you had your reasons,

migraine hallucinations.

Had no way to define,

the start and the stop of your Freudian mind.

I believed you when you said God told you what to do.

But the God inside your head was wrong.

Fell in to a passionate clique.

Only way to truth is isolation.

Patriarch, patriarch tell me what to do.

Patriarch, I must follow through.

Oh, the light.

Shaking on the floor.

Speaking tongues of angels.

Surely I must be in the right.

Oh, this tempest loves to fight.

Blood bath on the John Muir trail.

And the hiker recalled the tail.

Juliet and her friend stood at the edge.

Juliet jumped without restraint.

Her friend fell back, lost faith.

Without a God to blame.

(Interlude) lyrics - Delta Spirit

(Instrumental)

War Machine lyrics - Delta Spirit

War machine you can't break me,

you can't have the world I love.

I lied like the government,

pretended that pain don't exist.

They stare down the barrel of a gun.

War machine you can't break me,

you can't have the world I love.

I was so occupied, compassion I had declined.

The first world, it always gets it's way.

War machine you can't break me,

you can't have the world I love.

Watching the clock just tick,

blockhead rhetoric.

The life you've known is surely gone.

They watched as their children fell,

stories that dead men tell.

The frontless battle rages on.

War machine you can't break me,

you can't have the world I love.

War machine you can't break me,

you can't have the world I love,

you can't have the world I love.

The Wreck lyrics - Delta Spirit

Too much talk bout myself,

drags me straight down to hell.

Finally hearing from you,

pulls me back off the rail.

You don't expect apologies.

You always see the best in me.

I'm the lucky fool that you married.

It always starts out as friends,

you always had my respect.

They all warned you bout me,

don't give your heart to a wreck.

You don't expect apologies.

You always see the best in me.

I'm the lucky fool that you married.

And when we're out on the run.

Drive into the setting sun.

My heart beats for only you,

my heart beats for only you...

The Wolf lyrics - Delta Spirit

The enemy from within,

thought he was your friend.

Talk is cheap, the words between you and me,

are somehow thought to be so meaningless.

I was born to be the wolf,

but I'm living like I'm hung on a leash.

You got a reason to fear,

they got me locked up in here,

I count the seconds until I'm released.

I didn't know, how low.

I didn't know, how low that this could go.

Some try the natural way,

to labor past the fear of their death.

It makes me disturbed to be part of the herd,

when there's no point to be like the rest.

I was born to be the wolf,

but I'm living in the year of the sheep.

Let me take off this suit and may I tell you the truth,

before the shepherd comes around for me.

I didn't know, how low. I didn't know,

how low that this could go.

I broke the record on my visit to the local ER.

I caught the corner of the curb

as I was headed out of the bar.

Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, come on.

Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free,

I'll allow you two chances,

so you can come on home to me.

Used to be every Sunday,

I black out till monday

after you took the long way.

You took the long way.

Used to be every Sunday,

I black out till monday

after you took the long way.

You took the long way, well I'm here.

Empty House lyrics - Delta Spirit

Glinting gems in the concrete I paved

One every couple of feet

They got mixed up in the lime and the sand

Nobody noticed but me

How could one little speck make a difference to the rest?

Well it doesn't, no one cared except me.

I paid my debt to the hotel unknown

I drove so far out of funds

They kept me up, a family untied

I shared a wall and a secret

I can tell you this much

There is no love when bankrupt

Just an empty, gutted house and a grave

I got this limp from a favor I did

Some folks don't like charity

Copper pipe is worth more than you'd think

There ain't no point blaming me

How could one little speck make a difference to the rest?

Well it doesn't, never will, just like me.

Tear It Up lyrics - Delta Spirit

Just tear it up

By the way she told me September’s far too late

With her eyes like water and her heart too strong to hate

Just tear it up, you spare the lie

As the system shattered, brought the folks onto the street

All walks of life together put the past beneath their feet

Just tear it up, you spare the lie

California lyrics - Delta Spirit

I want you to move to California for yourself,

I want you to find whatever your heart needs.

I want you to move to California for yourself,

But not for me.

I want you to go out there and find somebody else,

I want him to treat you like I know he should.

I want you to find somebody new for yourself,

If not for me.

All of the feelings that I know you never felt,

And all of the simple words you never said.

I want you to keep them like a secret to yourself,

They’re not for me.

I want you to wander silent past my outstretched arms,

I want you to hide yourself from all I see.

And though my heart will fight until its dying breath,

You’re not for me.

I want you to move to California for yourself,

I want you to find whatever your heart needs.

I want you to move to California for yourself,

But not for me.

Idaho lyrics - Delta Spirit

Thunderclouds have been making faces

My friends are on the front porch getting wasted

Freedom sits this side of the hill

Calling me back but I never will

We’ll hang low like they do it down in Idaho

Don’t run, we roll, as we’re headed out to Roady’s Bowl

Some say that sleep’s for dreamers

We pack up our things and make our way to the theater

The suits, they dropped the ball again

We’ll pass the hat and make another plan

We’ll hang low like they do it down in Idaho

Don’t run, we roll, as we’re calling up the radio

Suburban crimes of using words

We hear out in the distance our ghetto bird

Big brother’s got his eye on you

Walk a block and it’ll tell the truth

We’ll hang low like they do it down in Idaho

Don’t run, we roll, as we’re headed out to Roady’s Bowl

Don’t run, we roll, as we’re calling up the radio

Don’t run, we roll, as they’re locking up another soul

Home lyrics - Delta Spirit

Beat like a rug, ashed out and clubbed

Well it’s all for my betterment

I’ll give you a rib with the marrow dried up

It’s not much but a widow’s gift

But in the right rays of the sun

If you squint hard enough

There can be only one like it

I’d write you a song

For all men to be one

But I’d sing it from a place of pride

I can sing over most and I’d gladly be the host

But most often I just hang my head and cry

There’s a song beneath the earth

It resides within the dirt

Under the nails of a workin’ man

Drug in by the reign, of the crooked ways I think

I wish I was in a mood to die

Well life, it is good, no matter how far you sink

Sometimes sitting still is better than to try

When you’re down in a hole

And your heart’s weighed down like gold

There is a hand that can reach you there

Otherside lyrics - Delta Spirit

It's in my head, it's a relief,

A sweet sound that I don't want to leave.

Kickin' around, in the back of my mind,

It stays there, and just won't let me be.

Meet me on the other side,

I can't be honest with myself,

No, I wouldn't believe a word I say.

Put up a wall, I've been climbing up the wall,

To an end that still I cannot see.

Tell me I'm wrong, tell me if I'm wrong or right,

Tell me, so I can't let this be.

Tellin' The Mind lyrics - Delta Spirit

It took the final straw that broke across my back

And as the others watched they all refused to lend a hand

Tellin’ the mind, tellin’ the mind, tellin’ the mind just what I wanna do

Tellin’ the mind, tellin’ the mind, tellin’ the mind just what I have to do

I have been taking notes of when you come and when you leave

I sneak out in the night and take everything I need

Timebomb lyrics - Delta Spirit

Ticking of a time bomb,

I just want to stop the sound,

Fated like the lonesome, it's true.

Remind me of a memory,

Bleed it 'til it runs dry,

But if it feels like this, then it's probably wrong, it's true.

I don't know what comes now,

I can't hear it but I know the sound.

Everyone is blind just the same as you,

But you'll see it when it comes around.

Frightened like an orphan,

Bitter like an old man,

Taken from your family, it's true.

No, I don't deserve this,

But who am I to judge?

Happiness, it comes at the strangest times, it's true.

Into The Darkness lyrics - Delta Spirit

So what’s the part that you’re playing?

Should I have guessed who you’re blaming?

Do I know him? is it me you’re naming?

You ain’t got time, you ain’t got nothin’

You live on a rock, all covered in ocean

We’ll all be dead in a few years time

Well, I am fine

Into the darkness we all go

Out of the white light and the friends you know

We’ll be spread out like a mushroom cloud

Spread all around

We’re all just sheep being herded

Well ain’t that the truth, it depends how it’s worded

Pay no mind to the others in line you’re hurting

All men’s thoughts can kill you like cancer

They smash through your head like a German Panzer

It won’t be long ‘til you’ll all be gone

Money Saves lyrics - Delta Spirit

Spanning this trap I'm in

Live in indecision but haven't an opinion

I alone, yes, I alone with you

Servant says nothing

Hearing the needed pleas of oblivion

I alone, yes, I alone with you

They all said what you had, you let it go

Like managing a hurricane, let it blow

With your money saved, your money saved

I alone, yes, I alone with you

Son says, dad, I'm a winner

Get myself a wage, they're gettin' thinner

I alone, yes, I alone with you

All the plans I made got shattered

All of my old friends are getting fatter

I alone, yes, I alone with you.

Yamaha lyrics - Delta Spirit

So cold I know you can’t believe it

Some times you gotta face the feelin’

When you don’t care if you get up again

There’s a thousand things I will not understand

How you're dealin’ with the hell I put you through

If I had my way I would be right there next to you

Certain things in life you cannot change

Certain things

I hope you know I care

I’ve been alone too many nights

Too proud to tell you when you’re right

A little patience would’ve helped me then

Locked like a brake has been the common standard

All the angels above the earth I beg, set this message right into her head

Certain things in life I cannot take

When I’m away

9/11 lyrics - Delta Spirit

Say good morning to my friends

Oh, my Lord, it's 6am

The day ain't nothin' but a sentence paid

You work so hard and nothin' changed

The union crooks treat me like a pawn

They said to strike and I lost my job

The folks back east, they say the market's fine

I heard that before 1929

When Black Tuesday comes it'll be a hit

Right out of the air into the pit

There's one out now said The President

War World 3 will make your poor horns bend

All the old boys said they could make it last

Like Vietnam without a draft

Got the best in the biz for the marketing, yeah

We'll turn the Marlboro Man into a marine

The brave youth will come from far and wide

When 911 is the battle cry

Well, this American, proud tradition

Yes, they pulled the switch and cried for vengeance

If your God forgave all of your sins

Then why would you make martyrs out of them?

For money? Or power? Or glory?

Do you even care?

Bushwick Blues lyrics - Delta Spirit

Hold on to my hand

Never let go, never let go

We were just two kids acting tough

Then we grew up, me, not so much

All the other guys

That you've seen

Are nothing compared to me

Because my love is strong

And my heart is weak after all

When we first met

We spoke so brief

When you sang a sonnet

I hummed sweet relief

Do you recall that night

We took the L

Out into Bushwick?

It was colder than hell

So maybe there

We should have stopped

'Cause I'm left here

Feeling like a cop

Because my love is strong

And my heart is weak after all

To the other side

Of the state's return

I met a young girl

Well, I couldn't manage her

Because I think of you

In every girl I meet

It's no relief

That sounds to me just as sweet

So maybe I'm the fool

For feeling used

By the way we kissed that night

I though you knew

Because my love is strong

And my heart is weak after all

Salt In The Wound lyrics - Delta Spirit

I want to disappear

Far from the folks I know

I want to get an answer

To why I was even born

No one here can tell me

What's been haunting me all my life

Well, this rat race has left me limping

'Cause I balanced on the edge of the knife

Why am I here?

Oh, what should I do?

Well, is this the point I'm trying to prove?

If there's a God in my head

Then there's a devil too

How can I tell the difference

When they both claim to be true?

Maybe God is God

Maybe the Devil is me

Well, I just throw my chains on

And tell myself that I'm free

Chains, are they really there?

Is this just in my head?

Well, I'll just stay in bed

Life sure has its meaning

Over years I have postured the sun

Thieves and preachers robbed me

For many hat that I've hung

Now with my heart wide open

I listen to the wind just for a word

Sure, I know it's futile

But that's all I have in this world

To look down from the hill and howl at the moon

All the tears I cried never salted any wounds

Well, the earth is so tender and cruel

Well, if you're not there it's still so beautiful

White Table lyrics - Delta Spirit

Meet me darlin', won't you?

I've been waiting for you

At my lonesome white table

Ready, willing and able

Torn in two, beaten and scarred

I'll give you my love but not my heart

Tattered and worn, battered and bruised

I'll give you my love but it won't be true

Someday, darlin', maybe

You could be my baby

Until then I'll be waitin'

At my lonesome white table

Torn in two, beaten and scarred

I'll give you my love but not my heart

Tattered and worn, battered and bruised

I'll give you my love but it won't be true

Ransom Man lyrics - Delta Spirit

With a blindfold I can walk

I see colors when you talk

Could paint your picture with one black crayon

Yes I am your ransom man

I came for you, that is correct

My trunk is hungry from neglect

I would show you, but it's too direct

Well I am your ransom man

I wore some holes into my boots

It's been weeks now following you

They say Los Angeles is a desolate land

Well I am your ransom man

I took some work for a strongarm

You were a sucker for his charm

You see they love you with the back of his hand

Well I am your ransom man

Darlin' I know that you are sweet

Just a midwest transplant with your dreams

Well if I don't kill you he will kill me

Well I am your ransom man

Just one look would make the call

I put that bastard's head right through a wall

Be the great returning of glass into sand

well I am your ransom man

Kiss me on the cheek and I'll be gone

Please do not leave flowers on my lawn

Just wanna hear Dixie from a funeral band

Well I am the ransom man

Just wanna hear dixie from a funeral band

Devil Knows You're Dead lyrics - Delta Spirit

May the wind be always at your back

And the sun shine warm upon your face

May the rains fall soft upon your field

Until the day we meet again

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven, my friend

May good luck find you at your worst

And bad love lose you at your best

May your days be rich and full of wealth

And your nights be long when you need rest

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven, my friend

And the road, may it rise to meet your feet

And be downhill all the way to your door

May the grass below be green and the sky above be blue

May it be so forever more

And the roof that hangs over your head

Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead

May you be in heaven, my friend

Golden State lyrics - Delta Spirit

These roads stretch a thousand miles

In every way, I look for the day

As we ride over the hill

Well, I am blind

The Golden State has been home

But I place my stake to roam and to rake

But good souls we mend

Would teach me in what course to take

Good friends remain

Even through the pain

Of a long road ahead

At 48 we seem so well

For three short years we worked like hell

I've been here before lyin' on your floor

It was good to me

Good friends remain

Even through the pain

Of a long road ahead

These roads stretch a thousand miles

In every way, I look for the day

As we ride over the hill

Well, I am blind

Good friends remain

Even through the pain

Of a long road ahead

Good friends remain

Even through the strain

Of a long road ahead

Scarecrow lyrics - Delta Spirit

Oh, scarecrow

You know why I'm asleep?

All the weight you bear you cannot carry

You know you're just like you're mother

And your bag all packed to go

And you hid your heart from everyone you know

You say you'd never love another

Unless they bore your own name

Oh, your kin, they trample on you just the same

Oh, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told

And the blackness of a scarecrow no one knows

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted in a rain

Well, your love that takes your picture

And your love that worships

Well, if you can't see it then soon you will

And you frequent the same strip club

You love to watch the ladies dance

Well, you always know I don't do shit like that

While I was out in Scotland

You were out with him

And you took your shot and you threw up your limbs

Well, I gave my love to a harlot I'm told

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot hold

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted in a rain

Well, you deserve applause for splitting me into

Well, I count you on the list of a mortal few

Well, I hope that you were happy

I could only wish you the best

But your beauty vacant setting in the west

And this may just say redundant

Because you've chosen your own fate

Was I more to you than just a pretty face?

Well, I'll give my love to a harlot, I will

And the blackness of a scarecrow you cannot kill

Well, I'm red in the blood that I have drained

That I wasted waiting for rain

Vivian lyrics - Delta Spirit

Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian

Heaven is too cold without you

Well, I'll stay right here above the clouds

Waiting to see heaven with you

Well, I'll fall for each breath as long as I could

Fighting with nothing, no

The last breath I took blew through the wind

And into nothing at all

Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian

Heaven is too cold without you

Well, I'll stay right here below the clouds

Waiting to see heaven with you

Well, I know it's hard to deal with the pain

You yell from your liver giving out

Well, just close your eyes and think of me

Oh, Jerry's not leaving this gal

Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian

Heaven is too cold without you

Well, I'll stay right here above your house

Waiting to see heaven with you

Oh, your firey red hair and your warm brown eyes

You remember the day that we wed?

Forever our souls are intertwined

Not separate even in death

Sleep, oh, sleep, my Vivian

Heaven ain't nothing without you

Well, I'll stay right here beside your bed

Waiting to see heaven with you

St. Francis lyrics - Delta Spirit

[Verse:]

They're all throwing stones at the back of my home

Kicking the dirt in the air

Well I left to think while they're thinking I'm stoned

Well I had no cause to be there

And out of this town while I had something left

Bury the fear in my head

Well it's all just the same cause the city's just as bare

It's full of people like me

[Chorus:]

We've all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Well everyone wants, but nobody needs

[Interlude similar to verse]

Well I ran to the woods and I preached to the birds

St. Francis talking to me

Well they said I'd find love in a pain I'd endure

If I would just listen to him

With my ear to the ground and my heart full of lead

Well I quietly listened to him teach

But with tears in his eyes, he just looked straight through me

I awkwardly waited for speech

We've all run away

Everyone wants but nobody needs

Silver and gold

Everyone wants, but nobody needs

[Interlude w/ changed piano part]

Once I was sure that this love was the truth

Well I quickly spit in his face

I returned to my home, friends and I, we threw stones

Bragging that we knew the way

[hummed chorus 1x until the end]

Ballad Of Vitaly lyrics - Delta Spirit

In the German sky there once was a plane

It carried 71 children and their mothers to Spain

Well, this plane was sure somethin'

It was full of young Russians

Proudly to gander at topics discussin'

Now Pete the Swiss was doublin' shifts

Jugglin' the iron controlled by his lips

Not a minute too soon children fell to their doom

Struck dead in the air, orphan a father or two

He just laid in the alley

Now orphan Vitaly met a young girl, married her quickly

Was so damn in love that they had their two kids

Had a great job, construction in Spain

They were goin' to see Papa from Caucasus mountain range

Now that damn Swissman crashed them into a plane

I will find where he lives, speak to his face

With the blood in my eyes, he will see my pain

Many weeks passed, for fear of a suit

The airline said nothin', Vitaly turned blue

For the killin' they done, no apology made

Is it 'cause we are Russian you treat us this way?

Through a friend that he new Vitaly found Pete

He came to his doorstep expectin' to speak

But Pete blew him off, threw down the pictures Vi brought

Pictures of the 3 most important he lost

As the pictures fell down

Re-enacting the day

Vitaly's eye blackened

No human remained

Well, so much can be said

For a man in his shoes

There's no glamour in vengeance

There's only this rule

That the lives that you lost

Can never come back

And the deed in return

Is worse than the act

Blinded by love and the pain of his loss

He could not remember the act of assault

He awoke in his room all covered in blood

The cops they'd come knockin', they knew what he'd done

The government leaned

Vitaly was free

They called him the hero, a man above kings

A shadow of man, they were praising his deed

He was alone, killed a father of 3

No deed that he did could make him complete

It could have been different if only Pete said

I'm sorry for killin' the few joys you had

But now there's nothin' for Vitaly to do

But step off a cliff or hang in the noose

Robbed of forgiveness that he could've gave

There's no man left to save

Tomorrow Goes Away lyrics - Delta Spirit

Every time I see you

It gets a little worse

Perhaps things are getting better

But how can one be so sure?

So I will take it slowly

So that I can rest assure

Wait until tomorrow goes away

In the evening when I wake up

I would love to hear you say

Ooh

Wait until tomorrow goes away

Oh, wait until tomorrow goes away

Wait until tomorrow goes away

Trashcan lyrics - Delta Spirit

Brothers hold the line till we got something

This world is way too small to feel like nothing

I was found near the train tracks looking so homeless at you

You came like a copper, you said, "Son, it's time to move"

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

When my mother left the bat was the only one here

He is just a reason why I'm still here

My mother's well spoken, no I didn't get that gene

But yes, I lost it, and yes, my eyes they are green

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

Well if you hide your questions there's no answer

I finally found the cure for my own cancer, yeah

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait

My heart is thumping, I can feel it more with every beat

My love is coming I can barely, hardly wait around

People C'mon lyrics - Delta Spirit

I'm a wandering soul

I got no place of my own

Well, I got nothing to give

Well, I got nothing to show for it

And I'll be wondering all for all my years

What I become, no one could know

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon

All you soul searching people c'mon

And I got something to say, my friends

I will never lay down without a fight

And when I die, it will be the day

When every one of my wrongs will be made right

Only time's gonna heal my pain

Lord knows the mistakes I will make

Yeah, there'll be peace in my soul someday

Reconcile I'll be on my way

And I'll be wondering all for all my years

What I become, no one can say

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon

All you soul searching people c'mon

Oh no, if you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon

All you soul searching people c'mon, oh

Bah, bah, bah, bah

Bah, bah, bah

La, la, la, la

La, la, la

And I'll be wondering all for all these years

What I become, no one could know

If you're feeling what I'm feeling c'mon

All you soul searching people c'mon

House Built For Two lyrics - Delta Spirit

The years have been turning on

You left me at home

To carve my own stone

I cried picking up pride

Oh granite won't lie

We all got along

Well it's true

Build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

Our son is losing his mind

His drugs that he hides

You can see in his veins

The steps he's needing to take

His back it might brake

We both need you here

It's true

I build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

It's a shame

Leave you to blame

Changing your name

And left him insane

Return like a prodigal sheep

It's cold in the keep

But I have you here

I work hard then watch some TV

You staring at me

What are you doing there?

Get up

Lay down your crown

What are you doing now?

Say I'm tired as hell

Yeah I'm broke

Ain't got as much as you

To tell you the truth

Still am your man

It's true

I build this for you

A house fit for two

Is too small for you

It's a shame

Leave you to blame

Changing your name

And left me insane

The words on the tip of your tongue

Like a song I once sung

And you threw it away

That tune

Old melody

Had hope in its ring

Those years never came

Strange Vine lyrics - Delta Spirit

It's such a strange vine

Wrapped around my neck

All twisted up between my stem

Between my stem

I'm tripping and falling over

Things we just couldn't get over

I tried my best

Get it off my chest

Songs we never wrote

Seeds they wouldn't sow

We're taken it all to the end

And we're planting our own garden

The sun came while you were shining

The time flew while we were writing

Symphony in the key of D

Songs that had lost their luster

Finally they found their color

Songs we never wrote

Seeds they wouldn't sow

We're taking it all to the end

And we're planting our own garden

We made jokes about starting a new band

Six years working this whole plan

Maybe I'll make a home

With you

It's been a straight life and it's preacher living

These break lights city limits

I can't afford the truth

We are two indians in the same canoe

Maybe I'll just start something new

We're taking it all to the end

And we're planting our own garden

We're taking it all to the end

We're planting our own garden

Planting our own garden

Streetwalker lyrics - Delta Spirit

Streetwalker knows how to strut right

She knows the truth

Bad boys walking through the corridor

God knows what they're gonna do

Darkness paraded across the headlines

"Little girl stolen from her bedroom"

Homeless, beat to death, or put out

Hopeless, greedy and cruel

Oh why can't I feel for you?

My heart is so black to you, oh

Her head is spinning like a hurricane

Tina was singing her name

Old men like to rape her in the red light

She's too young and numb to complain

Little boy bought at the age of six

Down the street he's wearing a dress

Look at his face, you won't see no innocence

He's got so much experience

Oh why can't I feel?

The lie, what can I not do?

Oh Love, set me free, set me free

Come on and set me free

Oh Lord, set them free, set them free

Yeah, it could have been me

Underground, the German Casanova

Underground, The Panamanian Queen

He whispers, "Down here, the law will never find you.

Down here I am your God and King"

It's a sin to sit and just do nothing

There's a special place in hell for me

Oh God, I just gotta do something

I swear to God this is happening

Oh Love, set me free, set me free

Come on and set me free

Oh Lord, set them free, set them free

Yeah, it could have been me

Oh Lord, set them free, set them free

It could have been me

People, Turn Around lyrics - Delta Spirit

Eighteen and jaded with guns in their hands

They were fighting for freedom and just what is that?

Bills to the banks and food for the kids

Money for college but couldn't get in

Made all the grades but got taken to task

By a man in an alley wearing a mask

Screamed and she begged as the people walked by

The man, he just laughed and the woman she cried

Well, it's time all you people, turn around

For the life we've been living, messing around

The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry

The life we've been killing is your life like mine

The needle is sweet and the snow it is pure

The pain I've been hiding from I'm finding a cure

The night it is warm, well the light it is cold

The family I'm loving, I'm calling them home

It's time all you people, turn around

For the life we've been living, messing around

The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry

The life we've been killing is your life like mine

My heart it is thumping, the veins they've been blue

The blood that's been pumping, it still hasn't met you

The beard that I'm growing, not fully grown

The years are not coming the way I thought they would

I'm hoping and waiting for something to sing

Like the angels in heaven, the bones on the street

Hoping for love to find a new voice

The song that needs singing has already been sung before

Well, it's time all you people, turn around

For the life we've been living, messing around

The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry

The life we've been killing is your life like mine

Turn around

For the life we've been living, messing around

The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry

The life we've been killing is your life like mine

Parade lyrics - Delta Spirit

Living like they never thought they ever could

...forest turn to soot

Burning out the sun

Gonna get mine before the end is come

Liars practice tricks for ten percent of gross

...the people in their homes

Well, I curse this day

My horse was caught in the parade

Running from your death

Last year, you were

Bragging about your gold

Ways...

Bleeding Bells lyrics - Delta Spirit

There's no place to lay my dead

When I can't stay awake

The growth I need is fettered with fear

My heels dug in my place

Keep your heart clasped into your hands

Your family just knows half of where you've been

The indian summer is better than nothing

Burn the sun in my skin

Bleeding bells of inner guilt

Salvation rays are thin

I say to myself you don't need anyone

This world is fucked just as you have become

I stand as a man who's seen many things

My youth has made me strong

I see the fraught of the words I have said

Got nothing for anyone

The words that I speak are like the clinging hell

The songs that I sing been poisoning your well

Hands in my pockets and down on my knees

I beg for will to change

I've spun around from the wheel that I spin

In one week I'll be the same

Children lyrics - Delta Spirit

Children shut your eyes

We'll tell you what to see

This world is burnin' down

And you're the ones to lead

Now look into their hearts

All those who hold the lead

Don't listen to their lies

They only want one thing

Well, I only want one thing

They'll rob you from the truth

And they'll steal you from our house

The blind leading the blind

Don't hang around with their kind

'Cause I love the life I lead

And I know my enemies

Well if God is on our side

That's all you really need

Well that's all we really need

Well that's all I really need

Follow down the road

I was led before you were born

No, it's not your choice

To pick your own fight

When you sitting second class

And as long as you're in control

Speaking when you're asked

You make your own stand

And you take your own stand

Well I'll make my own stand

And I take my own stand

Ode To Sunshine lyrics - Delta Spirit

When your working is done

And you have nothing left to lose

Why don't you just roll away

That stone that's locked you up?

When your pattern is full

And it feels like there's no place to land

When will you all run out of gas?

Yeah, it happened so fast

Leaving town for sell to pal

I recall only nights that we built

With our hands and feet, making peace

With the voice in our head

That ghost just stop

Won't lie dead, it just bleeds

Let the prophet rebound

Let his riddle rub on to my pride

I'm just to hollow inside

Let it echo in time just to get it

Through my head and mouth

Through the gorgeous light of the sun

And which I could never outrun

Even if my perdition were just in front

The sun's got my shine

The sun's got my pride

I could run but I'd never

Live without your light

The sun's got my shine

The sun's got my pride

I could run but I'd never

Live without your light

When your working is done

And you've got nothing left to lose

Why don't you just roll away

That stone that's locked you up in your blues?

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead lyrics - Delta Spirit

May the wind be always at your back
And the sun shine warm upon your face
May the rains fall soft upon your field
Until the day we meet again

And the roof that hangs over your head
Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead
May you be in heaven, my friend

May good luck find you at your worst
And bad love lose you at your best
May your days be rich and full of wealth
And your nights be long when you need rest

And the roof that hangs over your head
Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead
May you be in heaven, my friend

And the road, may it rise to meet your feet
And be downhill all the way to your door
May the grass below be green and the sky above be blue
May it be so forever more

And the roof that hangs over your head
Find you shelter from the storm

Before the devil knows you're dead
May you be in heaven, my friend

Gimme Some Motivation lyrics - Delta Spirit

Are you a believer?
You told me that you loved me but you only knew my middle initial.
My name is Matthew Logan and you spell it L-O-G-A-N.
Sean, John and Brandon Young aren't just living life for the party.
We've got important things to do so this is why we say...
"This is the end, my only friend."
I am pulling my courage once again.
I always knew you'd be watching your T.V.
This is the end.
Give me just a little bit, a little bit of motivation!
You blew my cover and I don't know why.
I see my baby girl and she's starting to cry.
They say the truth will set us free!
This is why I say...
"This is the end, my only friend."
I am pulling my courage once again.
I always knew you'd be watching your T.V.
This is the end.
I always knew you were insecure.
Loneliness is never the cure.
Don't push my love away!

Running lyrics - Delta Spirit

[from "The Walking Dead" soundtrack]

Hold the light my love
hold the light my love
could you take enough?
hold the light my love

You know I'd done
and I'm doomed

With a gun against my head
gun against my head
I hold myself hostage
with a gun against my head

You know I'm done
and I'm doomed
when I come running
when I come running
to you

When I kissed her she fell dead
kissed her she fell dead
did you hear a word I said?
when I kissed her she was dead

You know I'm done
and I'm doomed
when I come running
when I come running
when I come running
to you

When I come running
when I come running
when I come running
when I come running
to you
