Lord why hast thou forsaken us? Steel ants that come and torture us And deal you out Deal you out Seagulls laugh and pick the bones The entity i wrestle to the ground With demon eyes Demon eyes And even if i break myself in two It's like I've forgotten you Think I'm gonna go to pieces now And come out fighting Think I'm gonna slow my dance to you Like we already knew Throw a punch I just keep bouncing back And come out fighting

This is a story about A museum of consciousness Release to you The sins I've made The danse macabre can now begin Stone wall floating through the sand Protective circles all around Break apart to build anew Golden prisms rage on through Holographic pyramids Were seen behind closed eyelids It feels like my brain Was floating in a fishtank I've never felt like that ever before

As I was going over Cork and Kerry mountains I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin' I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier I said "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take you" My shirigim duraham da Wack for my daddy oh, wack for my daddy oh There's whiskey in the jar oh I took on all his money and it was a pretty penny I took on all his money and I brought it home to Molly She swore that she loved me and never would she leave me But the devil take that woman 'cause you know she tricked me easy My shirigim duraham da Wack for my daddy oh, wack for my daddy oh There's whiskey in the jar oh Feeling drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber Taking my money with me but I never knew the danger For about six or maybe seven it was captain Farrell I jumped up and found all my pistols and I shot him with the barrels My shirigim duraham da Wack for my daddy oh, wack for my daddy oh There's whiskey in the jar oh Now some men like the fishing and some men like to travel And some men like to hear the cannon ball a roaring But me - I like sleeping specially in my Molly's chamber But here I am in prison here I am with a ball and chain, yeah My shirigim duraham da Wack for my daddy oh, wack for my daddy oh There's whiskey in the jar oh I got drunk on whiskey And I love and I love and I love my Molly.

(Robert Ellis Orrall/Bob Regan) In my daddy's yard There's a worn out wooden swing So I asked him once What's the story with that thing He said "That ring of gold, that's on your momma's hand" "Well son this is where it all began " This swing hung from the tree Where the girl asked the boy will you play with me And the sun shined bright and the world spun round And they grew up till it all came down From the church where they stood and said "I Do" Where the bells rang out and the love was true And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman Who lived in the house that love built When I'm with the girl That stole my heart away Well I gave that ole' swing A brand new coat of paint And I told the tale as we swung "to and fro" And I said I hope this is how our story goes This swing hung from the tree Where the girl asked the boy will you play with me And the sun shined bright and the world spun round And they grew up till it all came down From the church where they stood and said "I Do" Where the bells rang out and the love was true And it grew in the hearts of the man and the woman Who lived in the house that love built

James Bonamy Miscellaneous Jimmy And Jesus (Dana Hunt Oglesby/Danny M. Wells) Jimmy was born in Bethlehem, Georgia He grew up to be a carpenter by trade We met four years ago on a job site Said he'd just turned 29 on Christmas Day Jimmy always had a hammer in his hand I can still hear him driving those tenpenny nails But Sunday morning you'd find him at the Baptist church Giving thanks for his family, friends and his health Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common Both born in December in a town with the same name Jimmy and Jesus worked hard every day Tryin' to make this world a better place His weekly paycheck barely paid his bills Yet he could always find an extra ten to lend a friend You'd hear them say "we'll pay ya back on Friday" But he'd say "Don't worry about it" And just look at them and grin Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common They'd give you the shirt right off their back Jimmy and Jesus worked hard every day Tryin' to make this old world a better place Looking back I can't forget that rainy April afternoon I slipped and fell while me and Jimmy were working on a roof He reached out and saved me from fallin' down But then he lost his balance and tumbled to the ground Jimmy and Jesus sure did have a lot in common They lived their lives unselfishly And died to save a friend Jimmy and Jesus worked hard everyday Tryin' to make this old world a better place Tryin' to make this old world a better place

(Doug Johnson) We met the couple in a restaurant in Dallas They were twice our age and so much in love Twenty years they were celebrating Hand in hand they couldn't sit close enough I leaned over and asked that man What is your secret for love like that He said there's never really been any secret Love is simply what you make of it In a world with so many choices Just give your heart and then stand by it We bought champagne and we toasted the couple They wished us well and then went their way We sat back down a little closer together And you told me what that woman had to say She said honey love won't ever be easy But that don't mean it can't be the best You see there's never really been any secret Love is simply what you make of it In a world with so many choices Just give your heart and then stand by it Two people in love I wonder if they know how much they meant to us We've often wondered about that couple Where they are and what they're doing today They're probably in some restaurant in Dallas Helping some young couple find their way They're saying there's never really been any secret Love is simply what you make of it In a world with so many choices Just give your heart and then stand by it Go on and give your heart and then stand by it

(Doug Johnson) Hold it right there Don't say a word I hear a voice I've never heard Calling my name Saying this is the one Oh my goodness what have you done I could turn around and walk away Saying this is too good to be real But oh no I don't think I will Because I absolutely, positively know without a doubt You're becoming someone I just could not live without I was so afraid I'd spend my whole life not knowing how this feels Oh no, I don't think I will I could just do what I've done before Blame it all on the moon Say it's nothing more Than the pull of the tide And it's gonna pass But something's telling me This time it's gonna last I could close my eyes and just pretend I don't feel the way I feel But oh no, I don't think I will Because I absolutely, positively know without a doubt You're becoming someone I just could not live without I was so afraid I'd spend my whole life not knowing how this feels Oh no, I don't think I will Oh no I don't think Oh ya I don't think I Oh no I don't think I will

(Pat Bunch/Doug Johnson) Wake up honey let me talk to you I had a dream last night that just can't come true About a man and a woman stuck right in the middle of heaven and you know where I hate to say they looked a lot like us When I saw 'em fight and I heard 'em fuss And I woke up with a premonition We just best beware The devil goes fishin' in trouble water He'll come callin' if we don't bother To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder But she won't stay there if it gets much colder We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water There are times we cross the line and let selfishness and foolish pride Leave us weak and make a big ol' target out of you and me But sweet forgiveness can fix it all And add another rock to that mighty wall That keeps the harsh winds out and helps to calm that mean ol' ranging sea The devil goes fishin' in trouble water He'll come callin' if we don't bother To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder But she won't stay there if it gets much colder We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water So let's put up a posted sign That says no fishin' in your heart and mine Trespassers best beware 'Cause there's a big ol' love in there The devil goes fishin' in trouble water He'll come callin' if we don't bother To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder But she won't stay there if it gets much colder We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water The devil goes fishin' in trouble water He'll come callin' if we don't bother To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder But she won't stay there if it gets much colder We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water

(Monty Holmes/Gerry House) Baby I ain't complainin' so please don't get me wrong Sometimes you're like a puzzle with a couple of pieces gone It's a mighty wild ride that you've been takin' me on Sometimes I feel like a dog standin' on a toolbox In the back of a pickup truck doin' 90 'round a corner Just tryin' to hang on for dear life When you had to have a little pink house I said OK When you pulled your Harley up to a church I just prayed My life is like a mobile home in a hurricane Sometimes I feel like a dog standin' on a toolbox In the back of a pickup truck doin' 90 'round a corner Just tryin' to hang on for dear life Hangin' on it's what I live to do You know I love this crazy life with you Remember when you quit your job to rodeo Or the time you jumped on stage to sing with the Rolling Stones When you start rockin' I get ready to roll Sometimes I feel like a dog standin' on a toolbox In the back of a pickup truck doin' 90 'round a corner Just tryin' to hang on for dear life Sometimes I feel like a dog standin' on a toolbox In the back of a pickup truck doin' 90 'round a corner Just tryin' to hang on for dear life
