Lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Teresa Sit down on the corner, just a little climb When I make my money, got to get my dime Sit down with her baby, wind is full of trash She bold as the street light, dark and sweet as hash Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon Reach down for the sweet stuff, when she looks at me I know any man sees you like I see Follow down the side street movin' single file She say... That's where I'll hold you, sleeping like a child Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon Just what I've been needin', feel it rise in me She say... Every stone a story, like a rosary Corner St. Teresa, just a little crime When I make my money, got to get my dime Way down in the hollow, leavin' so soon Oh, St. Teresa, higher than the moon You called up in the sky You called up in the clouds Is there something you forgot to tell me... Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me Show me my Teresa, feel it rise in me Every stone a story, like a rosary --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Man In the Long Black Coat Bob Dylan Crickets are chirpin' the water is high There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry Window's wide open African trees Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note She's gone with the man in the long black coat Somebody seem him hangin' around At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask Somebody said, from the Bible he quote There was dust on the man in the long black coat Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved You cannot depend on it to be your guide When it's you who must keep it satisfied It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat She give her heart to the man in the long black coat One, two... There are no mistakes in life some people say It's true sometimes you can see it that way People don't live or die, people just float She give her heart to the man in the long black coat There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote She's gone with the man in the long black coat --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right Hand Man Let me use your toothbrush Have you got a clean shirt? My panties in a wad At the bottom of my purse I walk into the street The air's so cool I'm wired and I'm tired And I'm grinnin' like a fool I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... Lookin' for a bed Lookin' for my, my... My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) Say... My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man If he can't fix it, I don't know who can The sinsemilla? Salesman And the cops on the block They know what I been doin' They see the way I walk I wonder what they see now I wonder what they do To feel somebody want them The way I'm wanting you I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... Lookin' for a bed Lookin' for... To really be... My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) Say... My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man Use me up if you think you can I've been on the floor lookin' for a chair I've been on a chair lookin' for a couch And I've been on a couch lookin' for a bed... Lookin' for a bed Lookin' for my... My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 4x) Say... My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man My right hand, my right hand man Say... My right hand, my right hand man (repeat 7x) If he can't fix it, gonna find a boy who can --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pensacola Well, I found him in Pensacola In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellowed in my hand Creased and yellowed in my hand He was squinting and stubbled And standing in the door He said, if you've come to take the car away I don't have it anymore I don't have it anymore He got the gospel on the radio And the gospel on tv He got all of the transcripts Back to 1963 Back to 1963 He said I sold my blood for money There wasn't any pain But I just can't stand the feeling It's in someone else's veins It's in someone else's veins Momma took me aside And she tried to change my mind She said, don't waste your time in looking There's nothing, nothing left to find Nothing, nothing left to find So I left him down in Pensacola In a trailer in the sand The man from the picture Creased and yellowed in my hand Creased and yellowed in my hand --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dracula Moon Where are the bones on that one What if the cure is worse than the disease Serve me up some pretty, pretty people Serve me up somebody I can believe Don't feel sorry for me I hate that look on your face You say, just let go You say, come back home I say, I'm just fallin' from grace I'm naked in a hotel room My station comin' in, comin' in loud and clear I'm makin' out with my one true love I'm makin' this hotel room disappear Stop feelin' sorry for me I hate that look on your face You say, just let go You say, come back home I say, I'm just fallin' from grace I say that like fallin' from grace You never know it to look at me A Dracula moon See love come down any way you want to Doesn't ask for your permission Open up your arms and we will break you in too(two?)

I'm smooth and heavy all over the world I'm smooth and heavy all over the world --------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Of Us If God had a name, what would it be And would you call it to His face If you were faced with Him in all His glory What would you ask if you had just one question Yeah, yeah, God is great Yeah, yeah, God is good Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What if God was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus Trying to make His way home If God had a face, what would it look like And would you want to see If seeing meant that you would have to believe In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the Saints And all the Prophets and...

No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more... I stay in bed with mtv. " Then Ray took his glasses off And I could look inside his head Flashing like a thunderstorm I saw a shining spider web Spider web (repeat 3x) In Ray Charles' head I dreamed about Ray Charles last night He took me flying in the air Showed my own spider webs Said, "Honey, you had best take care. The world is made of spider webs The threads are stuck to me and you Be careful what you're wishing for 'Cause when you gain you just might lose" You just might lose your... Spider web (repeat 3x) What Ray Charles said When you're feelin' lonely When you're hidin' in your bed Don't forget your string of pearls Don't forget your spider web When I go to sleep tonight Don't let me dream of brother Ray No, no, no, don't... Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees Just like him best the other way Spider web (repeat 3x) What Ray Charles said... In Ray Charles head All I got's my spider web Keepin' me alive C'mon Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's Just Get Naked I know what you're hidin' from me You know what I'm hidin' from you I know that you hurt me real bad You know that I hurt you bad too Let's just get naked Just for a laugh Let's just get naked It's a trip and a half Here comes that story again All about that television show Here comes my typical response Won't you tell me something I don't know And I'm pissed off about bein' the cops And you're pissed off about bein' the maid And how long till they shut off the phone Till the next time we get laid Let's just get naked Just for a laugh Let's just get naked It's a trip and a half... A trip and a half We've been together so long I hope it wasn't just the drugs What happened to the energy we had The morning glories and the rodeo hugs And I know you like the back of my hand With a stamp that says I paid to get in And yes I am your television show And you're the nicest place I've ever been Let's just get naked Just for a laugh Let's just get naked It wouldn't be so bad... Let's just get naked Just for a laugh Let's just get naked It's a trip and a half... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help Me You gotta help me baby, I can't do it all by myself (repeat 2x) If you don't help me daddy Gotta find somebody else Put on your nightshirt baby, hand me my morning gown (repeat 2x) Don't feel sleepy I just feel like lyin' down Gotta help me baby, help me baby Can't do it all by myself If you don't help me daddy Gotta find somebody else Oooh, real quiet, real quiet, real quiet... You gotta help me baby, gotta help me baby Help me baby (repeat 2x) Oooh, oooh, oooh... Just want a little lovin' before you pass away (repeat 2x) Don't help me daddy, I'm gonna find somebody else... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crazy Baby And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful As you light your twenty-seventh cigarette Oh, how long have you been sittin' in the darkness You forget... Oh, you know you're gettin' really hard to be with And you're cryin' every time you turn around And you wonder why you cannot pick your head up Off the ground... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light And they look at you like they don't speak your language And you're living at the bottom of a well And you've swallowed all the awful bloody secrets But you can't tell... Oh, you know you ought to get yourself together But you cannot bear to walk outside your door No, you cannot bear to look into the mirror Anymore... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light And your hands are really shakin' somethin' awful As your worries climb around inside your clothes Oh, how long will you be sittin' in the darkness Heaven knows... Oh, my crazy baby Try to hold on tight Oh, my crazy baby Don't put out the light... The light, the light, the light The light... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lumina Lumina Come and wrap around me Lumina Take me through the snow Eve took a train, Eve took a train Went to see her man Melting inside, melting away Like butter in the pan Lumina Come and wrap around me Lumina Take me through the snow Eve took a fruit, Eve picked a fruit Juice ran down her chin Babies will put things in their mouths Never heard of sin Lumina Open like the sea Lumina Sing me in the dark Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask What is wrong with this Here is the place, now is the time Let's invent the kiss Lumina Come and wrap around me Lumina Come and wrap around me... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
