Graves The ground is littered with graves All share Share this pain Grace Along the rivers of Grace All share Share this pain Long ago and far away I won't see the rivers sway One step to keep away Not a soul fooled to say I can see the pressure of the falling rain Days of rain Be hearted soul Beat on to the pressure of the Falling rain Days of rain Grace Along the rivers of graves All share Share this pain Grace Along the river of graves All share Share this pain Long ago and far away I won't see the rivers sway One step to keep away Not a soul fooled to say I can see the pressure of the falling rain Days of rain Be hearted soul Beat on to the pressure of the Falling rain Days of rain

As the makeup goes on It covers up the scars But they're still Just beneath the paint Behind the black tears of his eyes Inside his mind goes back To the sounds of children playing Innocence decaying Scarred by cruelty of youth A little boy is crying Childhood dying What he feels inside is proof Pain stares back from the mirror And his visions getting clear Behind that painted on smile Lies a hatred filled frown Death to the clown Death to the clown Death to the clown (Instrumental break) Scarred by cruelty of youth A little boy is crying Childhood dying What he feels inside is proof Pain stares back from the mirror And his visions getting clear Behind that painted on smile Lies a hatred filled frown Death to the clown Death to the clown Death to the clown Death to the clown Death to the clown

You've got weird ideas You wear strange clothes They watch you close Wherever you go But you loose control to easy Yeah you loose control to easy They won't break you Make you fall apart You're too strong You've got too much heart They won't make you a liar Driven by desire you're a man on fire A man on fire Man on fire Man on fire, man on fire, man on fire Man on fire, man on fire, man on fire They've got you surrounded They're at your door Your bullets are spilled on the floor It's not gonna be easy No It's not gonna be easy You've got to make your move now You don't know what And you don't know how But you're not an easy dier Driven by desire your a man on fire A man on fire A man on fire A man on fire A man on fire (Guitar Solo) They won't break you Make you fall apart You're too strong You've got too much heart They won't make you a liar Driven by desire you're a man on fire A man on fire Man on fire Man on fire, man on fire, man on fire Man on fire, man on fire, man on fire
5.	A Dry White Season 06:00	lyrics	buy track
A garden of bones Leads to the homes Blood spills from the hoses That water the flowers And outside their gates Why aren't we mourning their dead Looks like we're in for A dry white season What spreads this hate From brother to brother The spilling of blood From color to color Outside their gates What is it about black That makes so many hate Looks like we're in for A dry white season
6.	Faith 05:13	lyrics	buy track
And on her bed there still remains An air of silence where they used to play And all the dreams it washed away Her mothers teardrops fell like rain And though we sing a sad refrain Faith Faith They couldn't take away They couldn't take away And through rusted cages we see A little voice that cries away And all the fears it washed away Her mothers teardrops fell like rain As love remains the same And on her bed there still remains An air of silence where they used to play And all the dreams it washed away Her mothers teardrops fell like rain And though we sing a sad refrain Faith Faith They couldn't take away They couldn't take away Faith Faith They couldn't take away They couldn't take away
7.	Dreams Die Fast 05:57	lyrics	buy track
She's yelling again So you and Mescal sneak into the night Uncap the bottle Let your compadre breathe He's a welcome sight Another sip or two And a cloud cover Hides the real world from your tired eyes Feeling death within your bones The black fever sleep approach Just don't slip away Cause once they last Once they want to start Dreams die fast You dream of those days In a desert cantina That senorita Who raised the dust off the tables As you leaned on the bar And watch from afar Through the deserts door The riders crossed the sawdust floor To mention no more Shots ring out in the barrio night Don't slip away now Faded out of sight Don't slip away Cause once they last Once they want to start Dreams die fast Cause I see the lights of gold Off the border of Mexico She always knew she'd never go Cause she knew that I loved her so I loved her so
8.	Man In The Moon 06:23	lyrics	buy track
You sound so tired these days When the weight of the world Sits on your shoulders And it's awfully hard to keep Keep your eyes open So you look past the stars Through the nightmare sky And you wonder if it's true Would things be any different If there really was a man A man in the moon And the pressures so strong now You just want to cry But the tears you shed Would just rust your eyes And it's awfully hard to keep Keep your eyes open So you look past the stars Through the nightmare sky And you wonder if it's true Would things be any different If there really was a man A man in the moon
