you're single and you're hungry now, out on the prowl
lookin to throw down, take back, all that I've gained
but sawdust don't make a statue, honey
cobwebs won't catch nothin alive
just the dust, of you and I
I befriend the pianos, cling to the keys,
searchin for shelter, deep in the melodies
stay away, wont ya let me be?
but sawdust don't make a statue, honey
cobwebs won't catch nothin alive
just the dust, of you and I
you haven't lost your looks
and you still haunt my dreams
but the sawdust here reminds me what I learned
we are dust, unto dust we'll return
dust to dust

I saw straight through your games from the start
you played them anyway and I thank god
the flowers that I picked ya couldn't have overgrown
that wall you built around your heart, 100 feet of stone
I was lovin for the love of it, lookin for a reason to care
love lust roses, aka the devil's snare
Colleen, Colleen let down your golden hair
up the stone wall I climbed, roses in hand
falling, falling back down, that was somebody else that I found
I was lovin for the love of it, lookin for a reason to care
love lust roses, aka the devil's snare
I cannot see what lies beyond this stair
but after this at least I know I'm on my way somewhere

you are so young, must get on the road, Jack
you wont miss a thing, if you don't look back
if you get sad, take yourself more serious
it'll be worth it, oh, how mysterious!
travelin, travelin, boy
your problems can't effect you
if your problems cant catch you
so run, run, you fool
if you pull your roots and take off with the breeze
you can leave behind all the memories
if you forget where it is you come from
you wont have a problem always stayin young
it wants ya, it haunts ya, the road
can be your best friend
roots, who needs them em in the end?
so run, run, you fool

friendship knots

the sun let down its rays
so your hair could glow
the song that lies beneath your laugh
made the birds stop and listen
its your eyes I wanna see the sun rise in
its your ears I wanna sing my song in
the deal that we had cut
to be nothin more than friends
was blown straight to hell
with that look you just shot me
my smile stops a thousand dancin thoughts from comin up
my tongues tied in, friendship knots
I had plans but have since lost em
my sense of directions points to Boston
it all puts to Boston
and now you're mine, I can confide,
that my smile once stopped a thought
about the song that lies beneath your laugh
and how the birds stopped and listened

we bomb the mountains and torture the trees
strangle the streams, the land's on its knees
this ain't a business this is a war
is keepin the lights on worth killing for?
I'm not from Appalachia, but I do live just down stream
and here's what I know for sure
our Kentucky blood runs deeper than coal seams
coal keeps the lights on
but that's not what I know
because the sun has stopped shining
on my old Kentucky home
I'm not a coal miner's son,
but I know a smokin gun when I see one
it's not my job on the line,
but I won't stand by as they bury paradise under another strip mine
coal keeps the lights on
but that's not what I know
because the sun has stopped shining
on my old Kentucky home
we bomb the mountains and torture the trees
strangle the streams, the land's on its knees
this ain't a business this is a war
is keepin the lights on worth killing for?
