No More Mr. Lucky c. 2001
1. GOD WAS IN THE WATER
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
God was in the water that day
Pickin through the roots and stones
Trippin over sunken logs
Tryin not to make his presence known
God was in the water that day
Wadin in careful steps
Bubbles rising from His feet
Comin up from the muddy depths
Castin out a line
Castin out a line into the shadows
Castin out a line but no one’s biting
I am at my pitiful desk
Starin at the colorless walls
Wishin I was any place else
Down into a dream I fall
Sittin in a tiny boat
Driftin on the mindless sea
And if I disappear
At least I’m floating free
Castin out a line
God was in the air that day
Breathin out a haunted breeze
Tryin not to make a sound
Shufflin through the dried up leaves
God was in the air that day
Circlin like a drunken hawk
Sweepin with a hungry eye
Over the ground I walk
Castin out a line
2. GET IN GET OUT
(Randall Bramblett and Jason Slatton)
No more Mr. Lucky sippin on a warm beer in a cold Cadillac
Headed down to Florida never lookin back
Pass a lady in a long white limousine working the clip joints on 17
From here to Jacksonville…love in a paper sack
Get in get out breathe out the dark
All you can do is save yourself
Leave the rest behind
Bury your folks in the Tennessee dirt
Black coat black tie and starched white shirt
Wash your hands
But you never saw no ever after
Just folded flags and ten commandments
Stickin up out the graveyard sand
Get in get out
Get in the endless stream of transfer trucks
Bone-white sky just beginning to give up its last light
And you saw your brother down in the pen
He looked so old and so full of sin
But so do you, meltin in the twilight
Get in get out
You dream of a Silverstream on the beach feed the fish
Do you best to stay out of the reach of harm’s way
And one sweet day when the heavens speak
Sweet rain from the clouds gonna wash the feet
Of millionaires and beggars too
Get in get out breathe out the dark
All you can do is save yourself
Leave the rest behind
3. LOST ENOUGH
(Randall Bramblett, Davis Causey and Jason Slatton)
Years and years, links in a chain
You wind your way
You do the same tomorrow
You watch yourself as you come apart
Shut it down
Before you start to think about it
Across the dark and angry mails
You feel the sweetness of the smile she leaves you
When you’re lost enough
Matchbox lighting in a cold iron heart
Full moon rising trailin sparks behind it
You pull your car to the side of the road
Where in the hell were you gonna go anyway
You lay your head on the steering wheel
She’s the one thing you feel around you
When you’re lost enough
You run…but where are all your answers?
You cry…but where are all your tears?
When you’re lost enough
You’ll find them
Black and blue to grey and white
You drive black through the growing light your came from
You know you’re finally waking up
To something almost clear enough to blind you
All the miles that you will run
Only bring you to the one who knows you
When you’re lost enough
You run…
Years and years, links in a chain
You wind your way
You do the same tomorrow
4. PEACE IN HERE
(Randall Bramblett and Jason Slatton)
I’m just a tired dusty engine windin down to sleep
Pent up and washed out
Had all the air pulled out of me
Gonna lock every door, bolt the windows down light
Turn off the TV and shut off all the lights
I want some peace in here
Gotta have some peace in here
Every second wants to creep in like an hour
Every day wants to crawl by like a year
Inside this red-eyed migraine skeleton pain
I want some peace in here
Walkin round in a dead man’s suit
Well what else can I wear?
Gonna run into the naked truth
Out there somewhere
I want to run from the things that I love
Point myself into the darkest corner
In a room full of familiar strangers
Everybody knows your name and your face and your voice
I want some peace in here
5. SUNFLOWER
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
Walkin down my driveway look inside my mailbox
I hope there’s something waiting this time
My name scribbled across the top
This is just another day sandwiched in between
All these other summer days
You know my life is so routine
I bought myself a sunflower
Gonna paint my walls pick up my floor
I’m gonna dust my funky room
Turn off the music and go back to sleep
I got a dream I gotta catch up on
I dreamed you dialed my number and the phone began to ring
It’s nothing but a fantasy
You know my life is so routine
I bought myself a sunflower
Dancin ‘round in the cemetery in the disappearing light
I can’t forget the way you looked
Laughin at the graveyard night
I want to tell you everything but I know I can’t come clean
I’m all wrapped up in a heavy fog
My life is so routine
I bought myself a sunflower
6. ACHING FOR A DREAM
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
You were non stop talking, drivin across the world
Runnin flat out and comin up fast
On the heels of another dawn
Real beat and real gone
You turn the radio up, you got Coltrane comin in clear
And you’re poundin beats on the dashboard
But the signal just won’t last
And you can’t slow down
And you’re leavin once again with another crazy friend
Just to have a drink or two
And you know it from the start
It’s all gonna fall apart
‘Cause it’s only you
Aching for a dream
Standin over the dirty dishes under the flickering light
You watch the water go down the drain
And it’s like you’re goin under
You’re always missin something
So you try a little harder, pumpin gas and slingin tires
Workin twelve hour graveyard shifts
Take the edges off your soul
It’s a rough road home
I can see you stumbling down the lonely railroad tracks
And some voice you can’t get rid of
Makes you have to count all the ties
And who’s gonna stop you?
This will be the day when you catch up with your life
And you pin it down and say it all
And you take it all inside
Nowhere left to run
7. HARD TO BE A HUMAN
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
My brain it hardly functions
It makes me act so strange
It’s just another life form
It’s never gonna change
I was walkin in the garden, goin by the plan
Dreamin ‘bout my baby
Apple in her hand
Well, it’s hard, hard to be a human
First He made the mountains
Then He filled up the sea
He lost his concentration
Workin on you and me
I was walkin in the garden, goin by the plan
Dreamin ‘bout my baby
Apple in her hand
You spend your whole existence
Running from the storm
You gotta stop and wonder
Baby why you were born
You find yourself a lifeboat
And you try to ride it out
But don’t expect nobody to tell you what it’s all about
8. STRANGE CONVERSATION
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
Dry leaves falling outside the window screen
Like a fan blade cutting through the night air so thick
Maybe you had a dream
Of a jack hammer down the block workin late crackin up the street
The lights go out it’s alright
I let the grass grow under my feet
Oh, all these dreams of you
Somehow they don’t come true
It’s a strange conversation
Goin on inside my mind
A strange conversation
All night long
A strange conversation by myself
Strange conversation…yeah
Sick lookin brown cat layin across the ledge
Of a busted flop house window
Little mice playin on the edge of a
No good AC unit drippin with despair
I think it’s time to bust out the glass and step back
And take a breath of fresh air
Oh, all these dreams of you
Somehow they don’t come true
Too many moths ‘round the light bulb
I can’t keep my thoughts from bouncin ‘round in useless circles
Thank God they turned the power off
Little strangers in the dark
Little friends in need of a drink
Come on and sit down and fade out
We’re gonna pour it all down the sink
Oh, all these dreams of you
Somehow they don’t come true
9. END OF THE STRING
(Randall Bramblett, Davis Causey and Jason Slatton)
Morning breaks in hard cold bright
You stole everything inside last night
All you left me were the footsteps on the stairs
Static whispers on the radio
Sounds like something but I don’t know
And I’m driftin
Cracklin buzz of a neon sign
I got a mean old rain drippin in my mind
And I’m wadin through a heavy cotton snow
Bottles to bottles, end to end
I don’t know if I’m ever gonna sleep again without you
And I know that we’re still tangled up
And I know these words can never be enough
To ever bring you back again
And I always want you by my side
You know how far down I can slide
Don’t you think I feel a thing
At the end of the string?
Newspaper change softly chimes
Five fingers in a pocket with a couple of dimes
Well I think I’m gonna count my rosary beads
But I don’t pray and I don’t crawl
I find myself leanin over the wall
And I’m fallin
Trees in the park like broken bones
Everybody in the world looks far from home
Everything’s broken
Maybe it’s just me
Well I’ll do anything you want me to
But it don’t matter ‘cause you look right through me anyway
9. VAGUE CHILD
(Randall Bramblett and Davis Causey)
Give me room to be myself
See me just the way I am
I don’t want you to be bigger than you already are
I just want you to be solid
Be nice when you’re stirrin up trouble
Be good while you drive away the ones you love
Be still keep it down to a whisper
Be gone and they’re never gonna pin you down
Vague child don’t you know what you’re doin?
Vague child walking to the paralyzin rhythm
Give me a place where I belong
I get lost inside my lonely room
I want something I can push against
And I will scream my way back home
Be nice when you’re stirrin up trouble
Vague child don’t you know what you’re doin?
Vague child walking to the paralzyin rhythm
Give me air that I can touch
I want a God that I can breathe in
Don’t keep me floating in a world full of promises
I want something I can lean on
Be nice when you’re stirrin up trouble
Vague child come on in from the shadows
Vague child walking to the paralyzin rhythm
11. DISAPPEARING INK
(Randall Bramblett and Jason Slatton)
Everything breaks down once in a while
And you can’t believe your eyes
Or trust a stranger’s smile
Everything you always thought you know
Doesn’t ring the same to you
Even your sky is faded through
Flowers in the window
Dishes in the sink
Letter that you me
Disappearing ink
Everything gets clear once in a while
And the strings that held you up
Have finally come untied
And you know you’re sinking like rock
You want out but the door is locked
You saw it coming but you could not stop
Flowers in the window
Dishes in the sink
Letter that you wrote me
Disappearing ink
Pocket full of silver, a hat full of rain
You keep some for yourself
And some you give away
And they say you’re only flesh and stone
One cold morning, it’s all gone
You just wanted to prove them wrong
Flowers in the window
Dishes in the sink
Everything you wrote me
Disappearing ink
