"The Illuminated" lyrics
"The Illuminated"
Daylight comes to these empty city streets
The smell of the pine trees and the bodies at our feet
What a way to spend Christmas this year, ain't it babe?
Black sun
One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate you and I
Reptiles with red shields on their doors
That hide from the eyes
And wage world wars
Can't hold a candle to the power
That I've got for you
All the things that will die
All the dreams I've buried deep inside
Can't compare to what will live
Because of you
Black sun
One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate you and I
One world one
One world won
Under a reign of blood
These burnin' skies
Dark as a plague of flies
Forever and ever and ever
Together illuminate You and I

Arlo McKinley - "Die Midwestern" There's nothing left to say
And nothing to do
This house is lonely
Now I'm here without you
So I sit and I wait for the sun
The streets are crowded
And the lights are so bright
Another Cincinnati...
Hayes Carll - "Drunken Poet's Dream" I got a woman she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire
Wine bottles scattered like last nights...
Gethen Jenkins - "Restless Ways" One-night stand in Mississippi
Final leg on a southern run
Pretty little thing waitin' to see me
Well, a man’s work ain't never done
Singin' songs along the highway
Low on cash from payin’ dues
All...
Ray Wylie Hubbard - "South Of The River" Wake that thing up and put some clothes around it
You lost your prescription, I found it
You need some good rocking, nothing painful
Like my friends, The Heathens and Black Angels
It's a good night...
Toby Keith - "Weed With Willie" I always heard that his herb was top shelf
Lord I just could not wait to find out for myself.
Well don't knock it till you've tried it.
And I've tried it my friend.
I'll never smoke Weed with...
