Oh life!
It’s getting’ harder every day,
Prayin’ for dry land in New Orleans,
Prayin’ for rain in L.A.
Oh life!
Ain’t Gonna find it on a screen.
Turn it up!
AM Gold!
I wanna know that I’m not alone.
Yeaaa...
We’re stranded in the garbage of Eden.
We’re starvin’ what we should’ve been feedin’
No angles, no saints, no heathens,
Just people needing, people needing.
Cold thoughts!
Ice cold or medium cool,
Don’t get stuck in the mirror cuz that shit’s rough, Put it down go change it up,
Outside, is where I want to go.
The moon is up, soft and low,
Turn me up that AM Gold!
Turns me on like a radio,
Then I remember that I’m not alone!
Yah...
We’re stranded in the garbage of Eden.
We’re starvin’ what we should’ve been feedin’
No angles, no saints, no heathens,
Just people needin’
people needin’
people needin’
people needin’
people
Turn it up now
Turn it up.

Mind Eraser
04:06
|

|
If at first thought says my mind’s erased,
I never want,
I never wanna leave again.
When you spend time in a lion’s cage,
You never go,
you never go to sleep again.
These dreams I know too well,
Am I sleeping? It’s hard to tell.
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
Till you do it all again.
When you’re surfing through a frozen wave, Dunes piled high,
Ex lovers waving “bye”.
When you live life on a speeding train, You’ll never see,
You’ll never see you’re home again.
These dreams I know too well,
Am I sleeping? It’s hard to tell.
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
Till you do it all again.
If at first it seems my mind’s erased,
I never want,
I never wanna leave again.
There’s a vacancy inside my head,
You’ll never want,
You’ll never wanna leave again.
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
There is nothing like it!
Till you do it all...

Domino

One way is up, one way is down
Why am I waiting, waiting, waiting around?
I not gonna play,
safe and sound,
When the world comes tumblin’, tumblin’, down,
Oooh, Cuts me to the core,
Calm before the storm
Tick, tick, tick, tock,
Time is up,
This message will self destruct
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Look out below!
Watch ‘em fall like dominos.
I’m not gonna play,
Safe and sound
When the world comes tumblin’, tumbling down.
Ooooh, Take me in your arms!
They’re sounding the alarm.
Tick, tick, tick, tock,
Time is up,
This message will self destruct.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
Look out below!
Watch ‘em fall like dominos
Feels like I’m falling, falling
Feels like I
Watch em’ fall,

Forever
03:56
|

|
I’m tired of talking shit,
Half my brain’s selling,
The other half is buying it,
Is it legit or not? Get over it.
Baby, kill the underground,
I would rather longer,
where my love hangs around,
He smells like forever,
Midnight, trying to get my head quiet, I get it wrong, I get it right,
pray it lasts forever,
So I work all night,
I’m losing sleep, I’m not tired
Remind me it’s a slow ride,
Yeah, we’ve got forever.
Yeah, we’ve got forever!
I really like your mouth,
Come a little closer,
Let me try to figure you out,
You’re my straight shooter,
You’re not afraid to call me out,
He smells like forever,
Midnight, trying to get my head quiet, I get it wrong, I get it right,
pray it lasts forever,
So I work all night,
I’m losing sleep, I’m not tired
Remind me it’s a slow ride,
Yeah, we’ve got forever.
We can’t remember the beginning, or where this story ends,
It never ends.
Midnight, trying to get my head quiet, I get it wrong, I get it right,
pray it lasts forever,
So I work all night,
I’m losing sleep, I’m not tired
Remind me it’s a slow ride,
Yeah, we’ve got forever,
Yeah, we’ve got forever,
Yeah, we’ve got forever,
we’ve got forever.

Captain

Down by Shark River,
You were not the swimmer that you need to be, Drifting, lost in the outlet,
Don't forget to come home to me,
And when you’re found a wreck,
I’ll pull you on deck,
I can be your captain for once,
Let me be your captain for once,
I can be your captain for once,
So come on back to my arms,
If we have to burn the sails,
There is no shame to let it fail,
And when you’re found a wreck,
I’ll pull you on deck,
I can be your captain for once,
Let me be your captain for once,
I can be your captain for once,
So come on back to my arms,

Never Going Home Again
03:07
|
|||
|
Woke up feeling half dead in a Hello Kitty bed,
In Youngtown, Ohio.
Watched a mini fan explode,
Jimmie saw a U.F.O.
I’m not proud of what I’ve done,
You wouldn’t know me if you saw me mama,
And i’m never going home,
Never going home again.
Bank account’s bleeding while we are sleeping,
in another murder motel,
landed on the blacklist of a couple journalists,
i’ve met much better people in jail,
I’m not proud of what I’ve done,
You wouldn’t know me if you saw me mama,
And i’m never going home,
Never going home again.
Eyes like an Egyptian tomb,
Illegal things on hotel rooms,
with TV stars that saw better days,
Cherished every moment,
Saw a priest for my atonement,
when right back out and did it again,
Fell into a sinkhole,
While it was raining toads,
Still I never slowed my roll,
I left the money,
Kept creative control,
For the sake of rock n’ roll!
I’m not proud of what I’ve done,
You wouldn’t know me if you saw me mama,
And i’m never going home,
Never going home again.

St. Dymphna

St. Dymphna, can you hear me?
Do you think you could call me back? Cuz I think I’m gonna break down,
Out of my mind!
You’ve been through so much more,
And you never really backed down,
No, no, no,
And when I break down,
All I know is...
I’d rather die than go out of my mind!
I left you a message when will you call me back?
Ave Maria, girl, I see ya!
Are you just a melody I sing to myself when I need to come down?
Are we all outcasts from the garden?
Or, are we saints, broken and martyred
Everytime we come down? I don’t know.
Everytime we come down,
All I know is...
I’d rather die than go out of my mind!
I’d rather die than go out of my mind!
I left you a message. I hope that you hear me.
When will you call me back?

Far From Home
04:11
|

|
Come here baby you look lost,
I don't need to tell you,
You’re far from home,
Far from home,
Out here where the shadows grew, Aligned with yours forever blue,
So far from home,
Far from home,
Up here in the hall of mirrors,
Are you lonesome too?
A million eyes in adoration,
Don’t you love the view?
They're the ones who’ll hold you, When you feel like fallin’ out,
Don’t keep on cryin’,
Keep on cryin’ now,
You’re never alone,
You’re never alone,
Far from home,
Far from home,
Far from home

A Road to Nowhere
04:14
|

|
I’ve tried to hand on for as long as I could,
But now I can see that it just ain’t no good,
Our love had rotted right down to the core,
Whatever we had, we don’t have anymore,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
I’ve tried and I’ve tried to make things work out right,
But I guess we’re two people who can’t help but fight,
Your eyes are open and so are mine,
We both need our freedom,
Don’t you think it’s about that time?
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
Thank you for the good times we’ve had in the past,
But we both know too much to know good things don’t last, You’re just no good for me and I’m no good four you,
Let’s not waste time talking, we both know what to do,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere,
We’ve got to get off this road to nowhere

These Old Roses
02:52
|

|
Do you remember,
How fast your heart would beat,
When you held me in your sleep?
Smoking in our bed,
What was that you said,
“Tomorrow is a lie, the biggest rumor of all time!”
These old roses,
Have seen better days,
Where you goin’?
Don’t forget my name.
These old roses,
I can’t throw away,
Got this feeling,
You’ll come back my way.
These old roses,
Have seen better days,
I could love you,
But couldn’t make you stay.
These old roses,
At my window pane,
Pale hands praying,
You’ll return someday.
You’ll come back my way.
These old roses,
These old roses.

In The Splinters
03:52
|

|
I stand, all slanted now,
A statue on one leg,
Your initials,
Dark and red,
Scratched into the boardwalk,
In ballpoint pen!
Any other night,
But not this one.
Any other night,
I’d wish the world would end.
On any other night,
I’d wish the world would end,
But much to my suprise,
I’m swept away again.
I stand, in the splinters,
A stranger in my own skin,
You tried your best,
To knock me down,
But someone came along,
and built me up again!
Any other night,
But not this one!
Any other night,
I’d wish the world would end!
On any other night,
I’d wish the world would end,
But much to my suprise,
I’m swept away again,
La da da, da dum da dah, da dah!

Nicole Atkins Nashville, Tennessee
New live album Memphis Ice out now!
Here are some nice words from Elvis Costello about Memphis Ice:
“Songs don’t stop
living when the red light goes out. Pulling the colors and curtains from the studio versions of these songs, you find yourself within melodies and their emotions. Borne up by some beautiful playing from the small ensemble, this is some serious singing.”
