East Of Phoenix
03:50
|
|||
|
Just east of Phoenix lights, searching for the Dutchman's mine
Under Arizona sky, they are quick to leave you hanging high and dry
So old man, where'd you hide your gold
Can't believe you died and never told a soul
You can't let the gold rot your soul
Just east of city lights, searching for the Dutchman's mine
Pile of bills is nothing new, searching for the mine to pull us through

Take a drink and sip it quick
That's about the only trick we've learned
Drown out regrets
Take a drag and push it back
That's about the only cure we've found
Wash way regrets
Never met a man who could sit right down and talk about
All the things he wished he'd never done
Rotten teeth and swollen cheeks
That's the all American dream with a picket fence
Take a drag off your cigarette
That's about the only joy you'll get, when you regret
Never met a man who could sit right down and talk about
All the things he wished he'd not become

Pure At Night
04:08
|
|||
|
Everybody wants someone to call their own
You never told me I wasn't good enough to keep you
Pure at night
You never told me I wasn't good enough to keep you
Mine, all mine,
You had to go out.

You're always trying to put me down
You're always trying to lift me up
Well it's all coming back to you, it's always coming back to you
When you put me down

DB Cooper you're so super
Did your parachute open ok ?
Oh my DB, you're so sneaky
I know you made it safe
But I think they're thinking about us, like we're crazy
Yes, I think they're thinking about us, like we're crazy
There's a boy filled with joy
Because he rode on his plane
There's a girl pure as pearls
She doesn't know his name

The Come Down
04:00
|
|||
|
There's too many times, too many signs
Sitting here wasted for you
The shaking in my voice is just a prelude to the chorus
And the shaking in my voice is just a prelude to the come down
These feelings never felt so strong
Turn off the lights, there's too many trials
Sitting here wasted for you, Sitting here wasting for you
These feelings never felt so so wrong

You were busy then taking mescaline
You were busy then shooting skin flicks
Before you were everyone's favorite girlfriend, you were mine
But we ran out of time
They say experience molds and shapes you,
Though sometimes I feel likes its raped you.

Pockets Of Pearls
02:29
|
|||
|
You don't know about the hole in the bottom of the ocean floor
You don't mind all the time sucked into the great unknown
You told me not to worry, she keeps pockets full of pearls
You told me not to worry, she keeps pockets for our ghosts
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
All the headaches that aspirins couldn't cure
You're the cause of them and that's for sure
If the phone rings one more time tonight
I'll put a hole in the wall, rip out the line
Nobody ever seems to care, we've got our own lives
If they made a pill to help our hearts
I would take them all and never stop

In Cold Blood
02:24
|
|||
|
Yes there is a better life than this and I know it's true
because the boy you just kissed, he said so
Yes, there is a better life, and it's waiting for us on the other side
He said so
I will never forget when your father asked gently are you nancy
Never wrote a book that's any good and your screenplays failed
Until you wrote in cold blood
Now you're in the great beyond
No one seems to care at all that you're gone

She Thinks I'm Nothing
03:19
|
|||
|
And I think of her when I'm low
And she makes me feel uncomfortable
I don't even know the day
And in September she never came
But it feels bad anyway
It's always the same
Open your heart
And she makes me feel like I'm old
She thinks I'm nothing good at all
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
In the evening, things wind down
Through mud and dust, you're still around
Transparent with blue eyes
Do you feel the same
I don't know, you never say

You're My Girl
02:50
|
|||
|
Are you happy that you have found Mother Earth
Walking down the corner of 21st
I forgot to say, I'm happy to see you, just not this way
You're my girl
Wendy told me they gave you pills to sleep at night
Just to block out the dark life
I forgot to say

Living On Dimes
02:55
|
|||
|
Station to station, time to time
Paycheck to paycheck, dime to dime
There must be something out there for you and I
We'll get by
You and I, we will get by
Railway to railway, time to time
Coast to coast, dime to dime

Half Hearted (liars mix)
03:15
|

|
How many times does it take for you to walk the line
Before I break apart
And how many times does it take for us to talk online
Before I break your heart
Everyone I know is either crazy or just half hearted

From The Womb Of The Morning, The Dew Of Your Youth Will Be Yours

Nice to see that some Christian musicians from my youth haven't lost their minds. Nice track that sounds fresh but isn't a dramatic departure from past Joy Electric.

I now have 4 different versions of "Sweet Sweet Charity" and it's so awesome to hear how the song evolved over Ronnie's different projects. From this very early version all the way to Rainbow Rider and then Joy Electric. This album really is a wonderful glimpse of where both Joy Electric and Starflyer 59 came from.
