My Top 100 Favorite Songs of All-time (Part 2 of 4)

“Yeah, the night’s not over
You’re not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road
The wait is over
Now I’m taking over
You’re no longer laughing
I’m not drowning fast enough”

I’ve seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I’ve done a lot of things wrong

Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I’m trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I’m delivered
I’m delivered”

Crying, crying, crying oh oh
Can you climb, climb, climb higher”

It puts you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.

That I make it out just to fall on my head.
When it’s strange to take a walk downstairs
Sweep you all up on a corner and pay for my bread.
You know that I cannot believe my own truth
To show what I choose, I’ve got nothing to lose”

Album: Tiger Army (1999)

Genre: Psychobilly, Punkrock

The time being’s become a dead end
Last time I rolled the dice there flashed the eyes of a snake
So I sit and I wait for my turn to come round again

I dream the fog surrounds me
I dream this on a restless summer night
It cloaks, it’s all around me
and when it’s there I feel that all is right
You see this fog it frees me
When no one else can see me I can hide
I lie awake and dream that the fog rolls in…
…rolls in through the night”

Of heaven and hell
And we’re searchin’ for shelter
Lay your body down
Lay your body down
Lay your body down”
