1. Outlaw Pete8:00

   Letra

   He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail At six months old he'd done three months in jail He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete." I'm Outlaw Pete! I'm Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief And I slowed down only to sow my grief I'm Outlaw Pete! I'm Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? He cut his trail of tears across the countryside And where he went, women wept and men died One night he woke from a vision of his own death Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res And as the snow fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest I'm Outlaw Pete! I'm Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man He found Pete peaceful fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not." He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shouted, "let it stop!" He drew a knife from his boot and pierced him through the heart Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun Whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undo these things we've done." You're Outlaw Pete! You're Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top He watched a hawk on a desert head dress slip and slide Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair Outlaw Pete! Outlaw Pete! Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
2. My Lucky Day4:00

   Letra

   In the room where fortune falls On a day when chance is all In the dark of fierce exile (fears exile?) I felt the grace of your smile Honey you're my lucky day Baby you're my lucky day When I lost all the other bets I made Honey you're my lucky day When I see strong hearts give way To the burdens (burnings?) of the day To the weary hands of time Where fortune is not kind Honey you're my lucky day Baby you're my lucky day When I lost all the other bets I made Honey you're my lucky day I've waited at your side I've carried the tears you've cried But to win darling you must play (pay?) So don't hide your heart away Honey you're my lucky day Baby you're my lucky day When I lost all the other bets I made Honey you're my lucky day

4. Queen Of The Supermarket4:39

   Letra

   There's a wonderful world where all you desire And everything you've longed for is at your fingertips Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you And the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air At the end of each working day she's waiting there I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket As the evening sky turns blue A dream awaits in aisle number two With my shopping cart I move through the heart Of a sea of fools so blissfully unaware That they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare The way she moves behind the counter Beneath her white apron her secret remains hers As she bags the groceries her eyes so bored And sure she's unobserved I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket There's nothing I can say Each night I take my groceries and I drift away And I drift away Items from my ??? At night I pray for the strength to tell her When I love I love I love I love her so Take my place in the check-out line For one moment her eyes meet mine I'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket Though her company cap covers her hair Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there The beauty waiting there I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket As I lift my groceries in to my car I turn back for a moment and catch a smile That blows this whole fucking place apart I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket
5. What Love Can Do2:56

   Letra

   There's a pillar in the temple where I carved your name There's a soul sitting sad and blue Now the remedies you've taken are all in vain Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Darling I can't stop the rain Or turn your black sky blue Well let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Well now our truth lay shattered, we stood at world's end There's a dead sun rose in view As if any of this matters, a kiss my friend Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Darling we can't stop this train When it comes crashing through But let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do On the bench you lie all is nails and rust And the love you've given's turned ashes and dust When the hope you've gathered's drifted to the wind It's you and I now, friend (you and I now, friend) You and I now, friend Here our memory lay corrupted and our city lay dry Let me make this vow to you Here where it's blood for blood and an eye for an eye Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Here we bear the mark of Cain But let the light shine through Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do Let me show you what love can do
6. This Life4:30

   Letra

   A bang then stardust in your eyes A billion years for just this night In a way it will be alright A blackness then the light of a million stars As you slip into in my car The evening sky strikes sparks This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect At night at my telescope alone This emptiness I've roamed Searching for a home The stars, a brief string of shining charms Rushing in right out of our arms Into the drifting dark This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest We reach for starlight all night long But gravity is too strong Chained to this earth we go on and on and on and on and on Then a million sighs cresting were you stood A beauty in the neighborhood This lonely planet never looked so good This life, this life and then the next With you I have been blessed What more can you expect This life, this life and then the next I finger the hem of your dress My universe at rest
7. Good Eye3:00

   Letra

   Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! I was standing by the river Where the cold black water runs I was standing by the river Where the cold black water runs I had my good eye to the dark And my blind eye to the sun I had all of the riches I had each and every one I had all of the riches I had each and every one I had my good eye to the dark And my blind eye to the sun Well I swore you were my darling Yeah, you were the only one Since I swore you were my darling You were the only one Had my good eye to the dark And my blind eye to the sun Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!
8. Tomorrow Never Knows2:13

   Letra

   Where the cold wind blows Tomorrow never knows Where your sweet smile goes Tomorrow never knows You and me we've been standing in my den Waiting for that time to come Where the green grass grows Tomorrow never knows In the field your long hair flows Down by the tail end of the tracks Beneath the water tower I carried you on my back Over the rusted spikes of that highway of steel When no more thunder sounds Where the ??? goes Tomorrow never knows Where he who waits for the day's riches will be lost In the whispery town Where the river flows Tomorrow Never Knows
9. Like Itself4:00
10. Kingdom Of Days4:02

    Letra

    With you I don't hear the minutes ticking by I don't feel the hours as they fly I don't see the summer as it wanes Just a subtle change of light upon your face Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away This is our kingdom of days I watched the sun as it rises and sets I watched the moon trace its arc with no regret My jacket 'round your shoulders, the falling leaves The wet grass on our backs as the autumn breeze drifts through the trees Walk away, walk away, walk away, walk away This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I do You whispered "then prove it, then prove it, then prove it, to me baby blue" When I count my blessings and you're mine for always We laughed beneath the covers and count the wrinkles and the grays Sing away, sing away, sing away, sing away Sing away, sing away, my darling, we'll sing away This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days This is our kingdom of days
11. Surprise, Surprise3:24
12. The Last Carnival3:29

    Letra

    Sun down, sun down They're taking all the tents down Where have you gone my handsome Billy? Sun down, sun down The carnival trains leave town Where are you now darling Billy? We won't be dancing together on the high wire Facing the lions with you at my side anymore We won't be breathing the smoke and the fire On the midway Hanging from the trapeze My wrists waiting for your wrists Two daredevils high upon the wall of death He throws the knife, it lands inches from my head Sun down Moon rise, moon rise The light that was in your eyes is gone Daybreak, daybreak The singing you had made me ache is gone We'll be riding the train without you tonight The train that keeps on moving Its black smoke scorching the evening sky Millions of stars shining above us like every soul living and dead It's been gathered together by God Sing a hymn over your bones Sun down, sun down Empty are the fairgrounds Where are you now handsome Billy?
13. The Wrestler3:50

    Letra

    Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free? If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me Have you ever seen a one-legged dog making its way down the street? If you've ever seen a one-legged dog then you've seen me Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more? Tell me can you ask for anything more? Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and wheat? If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me Have you ever seen a one-armed man punching at nothing but the breeze? If you've ever seen a one-armed man then you've seen me Then you've seen me, I come and stand at every door Then you've seen me, I always leave with less than I had before Then you've seen me, bet I can make you smile when the blood, it hits the floor Tell me, friend, can you ask for anything more? Tell me can you ask for anything more? These things that have comforted me, I drive away This place that is my home I cannot stay My only faith's in the broken bones and bruises I display Have you ever seen a one-legged man trying to dance his way free? If you've ever seen a one-legged man then you've seen me
