Better than Ezra--Deluxe
In The Blood
(How) Can you be so warm
How can you know what I feel
Well it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand
(Chorus)
And that's the reason that I'm asking
And that's the reason that I want to know
And that's the reason that I'm asking
And that's the reason that I'm...
How can you throw away
Everything you live for
Well it's the way you shake and sway
And it's the passion that you play
(Chorus)
Who did you love before
Who did they love before you
But it's the way you move your hands
And it's the way you understand
(Chorus)
Good
Looking around the house
Hidden behind the window and the door
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'm just too sure
And maybe I'm just too frightened by the sound of it
Pieces of note fall down but the letter said
(Chorus)
Uh huh, it was good
Living with you
Uh huh, it was good
(Repeat)
Good, good, good, good, good, good
Sitting around the house
Watching the sun trace shadows on the floor
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home
Well maybe I'll call or write you a letter
Now maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July
But I'm not too sure And I'm not too proud Well I'm not to sure And I'm not to proud to say
(Chorus)
Yeah, you were so good Yeah, you were so good (spoken) yeah, that's right!
Southern Gürl
There she is, white light
Descending like the color of rain
July or the fall
One thing will never change
Down and out you've found
This city has you on your back
You long for her
To take you away
And I
I want a Southern girl
I need a Southern girl
Well, I want a Southern girl
Scent of pine drifting by
Her hand traces lazy on your neck
Sunlight through the trees
Recalls a better time
Kids and dogs running by
She smiles as she drinks iced tea
Retire to the room
It's easy to see
(Chorus)
Take back the night
Claim your desires
Run 'till you crawl
In the morning you will find her there
(Chorus)
The Killer Inside
Well she believes
That I'd be better off without her
And she believes
In me
Well she believes
That time can make things right
And I wanna believe
That there's been a change in me
(Chorus)
And I hope that she believes
Yes I wonder if she sees
The killer inside me
The lights go down
And the clouds are building outside
You close the door and turn the key
But there's no place to hide
(Chorus)
Rosealia
Where have you gone my Rosealia
Into the crowd he'll never find you
If you walk real fast
And you stay down low
So many times so many chances
This one could be your last
(Chorus)
You say no, no, no
The fighting has left you tired
You say no, no no
But the fighting goes on
Put on your mask
Wearing your cape
Put on your mask my Rosealia (Repeat)
What has he done my señorita
His kind of love is gonna kill you
Do you fake a smile
As you dodge the blows
So many times so many chances
This one could be your last
(Chorus)
Jealousy
Can rip your heart out
And jealousy
Can turn a hand into a fist
(Chorus)
Rosali, Rosealia Roseali, Rosaalia Roseali, Rosealia Rosealia
Cry in the Sun
You cleaned out your room
And under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten
With a hand to your head
You sigh out loud
As a memory washes over
And buries you
A summer rainstorm
But the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina
And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the timer moved to a flash
(Chorus)
And so alive
You listen to them when they say
Cry in the sun
When the devil beats his wife
If you cry cry cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
We dance and sing out
And traced the moon
As it crawled across the night sky
And covered in dew
A lover's pact
Well here's to now and don't look back
And oh how I tried to heed the words written here
For everyone
There is a person place or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eyes
You could rule the world
If you wanted to
Well I hear you're living
Far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old
But I can still hear you say
Through the pounding of the rain
And oh, if you try
Tell me can you hear them say
(Chorus)
Teenager
Listen to them fight
Hear your mother cry
Weekend at your dad's
They don't know what they do to you
Teenager
Wrap yourself in black
Listen to The Cure
Love line wont call back
They don't know
They don't care
They don't see
But I do
(Chorus)
And if it feels good do it
Cause if it tastes fine drink
Well, there's a range of possibilities to find
Teenager, teenager
No one knows your name
No one hears your cry
Fall in with the fringe
Cause they know what you're going through
They do
(Chorus)
No one's wrong
No one's right
It comes down on you
I have found your life
Inside mine
Hear your mother cry
Fade into the night
And when they ask you why
They won't know
They won't feel
They won't see
But you will
(Chorus)
Track #8 (Instrumental)
Summerhouse
Down by the dock
Hot blood in the sun
The body lays up against the reeds
The locals said the man had it coming
And it's time someone put him six feet in the ground
(Chorus)
Where did she go that night
Where did she sleep when the morning came
To the summerhouse
To the summerhouse
Missus showed up
To ID the body
Then shed a tear as she hid a smile
The sergeant laughed and smiled in frustration
One life is lost while another one's found
(Chorus, repeat)
Heaven
Will you fight
For the cause?
Can you teach the savage mind
Their ways are wrong
Help them see
What they want and what they need?
And if we have to twist their arms
They know not what they do is wrong
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now, maybe I'll try
And if you said I would go to heaven
Now maybe I'll maybe I'll maybe I'll try
Heretics and hypocrites
Wear the same face throught the years
Of telling lies
And laying blame
Damn the fire to feed the flame
Don't dance, or sing, or try to think
Their image is planted in your head
(Chorus)
Ivy is just a dog
With a heart that's noble as
The greatest man
Who ever lived
Wont you please help her learn?
And if we have to twist her arm
She knows not what she does is wrong
(Chorus)
This Time of Year
Well there's a feeling in the air
Just like a friday afternoon
Well you can go there if you want
But it fades to soon
So go on
Let it be
If there's a feeling coming over me
Seems like it's always understood this time of year
(Chorus)
Well I know there's a reason to change
And I know there's a time for us
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad
You can feel it in the air
Feeling right this time of year
Well there's a football in the air
Across a leafblown field
Yeah and there's your first car on the road
And the girl you'd steal
So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else
Seems like it's always understood this time of year
(Chorus)
Coyote
Heading out
Your heart beating in your head
Riding on
The Texas wind
Raise your feet
As you cross the state line
Waking up
The mesa sun and the sky
All the way
To Tucumcari
And Santa Fé
Seems a stone's throw away
Coyote, coyote
Coming down
The Phoenix sun on your face
Turns it red by the afternoon
And to the right
The Grand Canyon is wide
Sing along
Needle skips in the wind
Count the stars
Of Death Valley
And in the dark
Barstow starts to fade
Coyote, coyote
