11: PAUL NEWMAN THE DEMONS12: LIFE

I ain’t from Texas but I made my way from DallasAnd I know the lonesome sound is following

I ain’t a gambler but I can recognize a handAnd when to hold when queens are staring back at me

Once I was a carpenter and man my hands were callusedI could swing a metal mallet sure and straight

But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungryAnd I left the timbers rotting where they lay

Forever I will moveLike the world that turns beneath me

And when I lose my directionI’ll look up to the sky

And when the black cloak drags upon the groundI’ll be ready to surrender

And remember we’re all in this togetherIf I live the life I’m given I won’t be scared to die

I don’t come from DetroitBut her diesel motors pulled me

And I followed ‘til I �nally lost my way

And now I spend my days in searchOf a woman we call Purpose

And if I ever pass back through her town I’d stay

Forever I will moveLike the world that turns beneath meAnd when I lose my directionI’ll look up to the sky

And when the black dress drags upon the groundI’ll be ready to surrenderAnd remember we’re all in this togetherIf I live the life I’m given I won’t be scared to die

And my life is but a coin pulled from an empty pocketDropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behindHope and fear go with itAnd the moon and the sun go spinningLike the numbers and the fruit before our eyes

Forever I will moveLike the world that turns beneath meAnd when I lose my directionI’ll look up to the sky

And when the black cloak drags upon the groundI’ll be ready to surrenderAnd remember, well we’re all in this togetherIf I live the life I’m given I wont be scared to die

THE ONCE AND FUTURE CARPENTER01

It must be winter in my heartThere’s nothing warm in there at allI missed the summer and the spring

The floating yellow leaves of fall

A million colors �ll my eyes�e roman candles and the stars

�e calendar says July 4But it’s still winter in my heart

�ey say �owers bloom in springRed and golden, blue and pink�ey say seasons turn in time

�eirs are changing, why won’t mine?

It must be winter in my heartThere’s nothing warm in there at allI miss the summer and the springThe floating yellow leaves of fall

�e air in there is frigid coldI don’t know what the reasons are

�e calendar says August 1But it’s still winter in my heart

�ey say �owers bloom in springRed and golden, blue and pink�ey say seasons turn in time

�eirs are changing, why won’t mine?

It must be winter in my heartI don’t know what the reasons are

It must be winter in my heart

Can you not see what you’ve done?You gave your heart away like that

I didn’t want to fall in loveWith anyone, but you did

I can still hear the song�e melody behind the kiss you gave me

You were wrong, I was right, so I walked away

And left you there aloneI got so tired of talking on the telephone

How many times would we say the words ‘goodbye’?

I made mistakes, and one was telling you that I’d be thereWhen telling time had comeI should’ve said I didn’t care

Oh, the time I would have savedIf I had been less willing to accommodate

You’d been a little less likely to cry

You go back to the highlifeAnd I’ll go back to the low

I should’ve known, but now I know

There will be no word from youDescribing how it felt to go through

What I put you throughIt all makes perfect senseThe way you cut the ropeThat kept you dangling

From such pitiful amounts of hopeI would have cut it too

WINTER IN MY HEART0403

PRETTY GIRLFROM MICHIGAN

All it’ll take is just one momentAnd you can say ‘goodbye’ to how we had it planned

Fear like a habit, run like a rabbit out and away�rough the screen door to the unknown

,

‘

You and I, we’re the same, live and die, we’re the sameHear my voice, know my name, you and I, we’re the same

Left like a pharaoh, sing like a sparrow anywayEven if there is no land or love in sight

We bloom like roses, lead like Moses out and away�rough the bitter crowd to the daylight

You and I, we’re the same, live and die, we’re the sameYou rejoice, I complain, but you and I, we’re the sameLive and die, we’re the same, you and I, we’re the sameHear my voice, know my name, you and I, we’re the same

Well I guess it’s kind of funny howI loved you so way back when

You say I wouldn’t know you nowWell I didn’t even know you then

We change a lotAnd no one here can stop

�at train beforeIt gets to where it’s going

At all

So I guess it’s kind of funny howI loved you so way back when

You say I wouldn’t know you nowWell I didn’t even know you then

I heard about the company you’re keepingAnd from someone who didn’t have much interest

In keeping us apart

So I guess it’s kind of funny howI loved you so way back whenYou say I wouldn’t know you nowWell I didn’t even know you then

’

You know I lie, so it comes as no surpriseWhen I admit that I don’t really want to reunite

So I guess it’s kind of funny howI loved you so way back whenYou say I wouldn’t know you nowWell I didn’t even know you then

No, I didn’t even know you then

FEBRUARY SEVEN0706

THROUGH MY PRAYERSI went on the search for something true

I was almost there when I found youSooner than my fate was wroteA perfect blade, it slit my throat

And beads of lust released into the airWhen I awoke you were standing there

I was on the mend when I fell through�e sky around was anything but blue

I found as I regained my feet, a wound across my memory�at no amount of stitches would repairBut I awoke and you were standing there

There’s no fortune at the end of a roadThat has no end

There’s no returning to the spoilsOnce you’ve spoiled the thought of them

There’s no falling back to sleepOnce you’ve wakened from the dream

Now I’m rested and I’m ready to begin

I went on the search for something realTraded what I know for how I feel

But the ceiling and the walls collapsedUpon the darkness I was trapped

And as the last of breath was drawn from meLight broke in and brought me to my feet

There’s no fortune at the end of a roadThat has no end

There’s no returning to the spoilsOnce you’ve spoiled the thought of them

There’s no falling back to sleepOnce you’ve wakened from the dream

Now I’m rested and I’m ready to begin

I’m rested and I’m ready to begin

Hard to believe I won’t see you againWe were just �ghting when winter began

�e coldness of our wordsCompeting with the wind from the north

Still they make me shiverBut in a very different way

The pages of the calendar kept turning awayI have some better words now

But it’s too late to say them to you

My dream of all dreamsAnd my hope of all hopes

Is only to tell you and make sure you knowHow much I love you and how much I always did

And yes, I know you loved meI could see it in your eyes

And it was in your struggle and it was in your mindAnd it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid

Every night after and every day sinceI found myself crying when the memory hits

Sometimes it knocks me downSometimes I can just put it away

Down in my mind where I don’t care to goThe pain of a lesson is letting me know

If you have love in your heartLet it show while you can

,

Down with the shine, the perfect shineThat poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every timeDown with the glistening shine

It’s in with the new, and it’s out with the oldOut goes the warm, and in comes the cold

It’s the most predictable story toldIn with the young, out with the old

Down with the shine, the perfect shineThat poisons the well, and ruins my mind

I get took for a ride every timeDown with the glistening shine

A belly full of high-dollar wineA fat hand, a fat wallet too

�ings change and get strangeWith the movement of time

It’s happening right now to you

Down with the shine, the perfect shineThat poisons the well, and ruins my mindI get took for a ride every timeDown with the glistening shine

’ ,

�ere’s nothing good because nothing lastsAnd all that comes here, it comes here to passI would voice my pain but the change wouldn't lastAll that comes, it comes here to pass

Down with the shine, the perfect shineThat poisons the well, and ruins my mindI get took for a ride every timeDown with the glistening shine

�e homophobic gentlemen built barricadesBut their e­orts couldn’t stop me

In came Miss Progress in her black dressLook at the mess, she is a killer

PAUL NEWMAN VS.THE DEMONS

121 1

LIFE

You may have to drag me away from my demonsKicking and screaming

It’s been so long now, I’ve been with themDon’t know where they stop and I begin

We draw a line in the sandWill you cross it? Oh, will you die for this?

Got nothing to tell you that you don’t�rough your sadness below, already know

Yeah, yeah, yeahLive through the past again

How many times must I live through the past again?No more

Truth beyond truth and by our designIt is very �ne like Newman’s wineOh, to be like him and walk a path

To lend a hand, do something worth a damn

Yeah, yeah, yeahLive through the past again

How many times must I live through the past again?No more, wait

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Live through the past againHow many times must I live through the past again?

No more, wait

One comes of it, love it, love itLet go of it, love comes from itWe’re not of this world for long

Faith and promise, keep me honestWhen starvation falls upon usDaylight told me he would be

Gone with cold words spoke among hersWretched is the tongue of their world

We’re not of that world at allWe will never be

Wouldn’t it be fine to stand behindThe words we say in the best of timesOh, and you and I know all too well

About the hell and paradise right here on earth

Keep it, use it, build it, move itClaims can’t touch how time will prove it

Watch us �y as loud as we canLet her heartbeat change what I am now

Wouldn’t it be fine to stand behindThe words we say in the best of timesOh, and you and I know all too well

About the hell and paradise right here on earth
