Track Name: Burn
I once knew this girl
Prettiest thing in the world
Lived in a house on a hill
Killed all her pain with her pills
Help me down, she said, but I just walked away

My mother said, don't you know
Your friends come, and they go
So, keep your back to the wind
Slow down, and take it all in
But, don't let the days burn away just like I did

(CHORUS)
I'm quickly rolling away on this ghost town train
It's all starting now to fade
Gonna take my mind to this mountain side
Keep your troubles, I'll keep mine
And, I'll hide away like the wind
Yes, I'll hide away like the wind

The weather's looking grey again
Rain cloud moving overhead
Ship on the ocean rowing home
While by the fire, I warm my bones
Kick up your feet, my love, the night is ending soon

The President waiving in the streets
Everybody's bowing at his feet
But, my chin I keep up off the ground
Farewell, I'm leaving this old town
Send my love to my father, won't you friends

CHORUS
Track Name: War! (For A Peaceful Revolution)
Baby, don't look down, there's a war coming on
Everyone gather 'round, the days won't last long
All the bombs crashing down, can't you see
As you collect your guns, the sun, it goes down on me

The blood I've seen hasn't helped to keep us free
Men and women just like you and me
As the newspaper reads this is the way peace
Go sell that to those buried beneath your feet

(CHORUS)
Well, the rain's falling fast, better wash the blood from your hands
Yeah, the wind's blowing past, can't keep track of your map in the sand
Take a look around, get body count
I can't take it anymore, just push me out the door
I'm running away

Take me now to the home of the innocent child
Buried beneath the fire as you wear a smile
You won't find hearts and minds won with the force of a gun
You better turn away now, yeah, you better go on the run

Listen to the voice talking to you
Ending quite quickly, forgetting to find the truth
A god dam war full of like, taking lives from your fellow man
A peaceful revolution needed now, so let's all take a stand

CHORUS
Track Name: Nothing Left To Sell
Man takes a coin from a wishing well
Says, I'm not smiling here
Show me love, and I'll show you life
With a happy side
Then, he walks away
Says, I've already paid

I see that Bible in your weathered hands
Still need a story to tell
But, look around at the war torn ground
There's nothing left to sell
It's all falling down
Everybody gather on around

(CHORUS)
Take your hands from the fire, you'll be alright
Balancing high on a wire, I know it feels like you might
Come crashing down
But, you must keep holding on

My mother's gone, and she took her smile
Wish I could see it now
But, friends, I know I have you 'til the end
For a while, anyhow
So, let's live it out
Pick me up when I'm looking down

You see, my sister, I still have my doubts
But, I keep walking along
The mountain's trees singing down to me
I got my ear to the ground
I can her the sounds
Of all the troubles we have found

CHORUS
Track Name: It's Looking Good / Hold On
It's looking good on the streets today
Rolling one up just to burn away
With my friends
Marching with me until the end

Laura, my love, won't you lay with me
There's nothing here left for me to see
I'm hoping
My dreams will find you once again

(CHORUS)
Well, hold on
I'm holding on
Won't you please just sing along
I don't want to feel alone

Leaves are falling down past my knees
Yellow, they glow through the Autumn breeze
And, I feel
The days are heavy, but they're real

So, tell me sister, have the years been kind
Drinking your poision just to ease your mind
Oh, I know
It's easier said, I once was told

CHORUS

Come step lightly now upon the road
Looking for stories that have gone untold
Can't you see
I've lived them all before, it seems

Though, I can't help you when your path gets wide
Just keep on running, and you'll be fine
But, God damn
Keep your voice, and take a stand

CHORUS
Track Name: Hope And Ruin
Hope and ruin all I see
Hope and ruin in my dreams
I've fallen away
I've fallen away today

My head held high in the rain
My head held high through the pain
It's only life again
It's only life again, my friends

(CHORUS)
And, I'm happy just because
I found out I'm really noone
I'm here just living free
Won't you come live free with me

Dance around the campfire, love
Dance underneath the stars above
And, pass it on around
Pass it on around, let's burn one down

But, don't use the memories in your mind
Don't let life pass right by your eyes
It's all unfolding now
It's all unfolding quickly, anyhow

CHORUS
