My once faultless hero
Afraid of my shadow
I don't know why
I don't know why

The hope of the hopeless
A gun to the temple
Don't make me cry
Don't make me cry

A little innocence always seems to go
'long the way
A little innocence always seems to go

Thought my days here were given up for forgotten
Can't burn cedar, it must come out by the roots
I'm not driving, but I'm taking bets
Six full hours and we ain't crossed it yet
One more stop after here through Midland I know
One more stop after here through Midland I know

Don't know where I've been
For I thought I'd listened well
All your warnings,
I've had plenty
You sure had me going
Down to the ringing of a bell
Once again you get the best of me
Once again

Chorus:
But how could I know
When I believed that there were an

I've seen your progress, stamped out on a bill
You don't look hungry, only more fat for the kill
Where is the time we spent, it seemed so real
Guess I was mistaken

I thought your world might be worth knowing
Cause you take it like a man
(No I can't conceal the wounds yo

I want to lay down, but I got no home
Is there a better place?
Cast into the open, with nowhere else to go
I feel right now that I could rest my bones
Or should I stay awake?
Tired of going in circles, trying to stay alive

Because it keeps on working
Don't make it

I thought you'd spend your life alone
You made well your promises
To carry on, brave the world without too much help
If you knew I'd been there too, then why need my company

Blood of a saint, you took all yourself
More than a flesh a wound, no easy way out
Blood of a sa

It's not pretty, though it never is
But nothing that's to hard to bear
Pay no attention to the dark circles
They have always been there
Don't mistake me to be broken down
Just because I'm on my knees
I can withstand most anything
I was born with teeth
Born with t

It's a million miles
A giant place
Like a work of art
Amazing, amazing

Fast cars that cannot move
Die for a parking space
Stuck on a carousel
Crazy, it's crazy

When you laugh
Till you cry
When you laugh

Chorus:
All's well here in El Norte

As I have only my convictions I've made some mistakes
Trial and error is not an answer or even a break
So I cling to the only treasure I've pleasured to know
I can't believe
That these precious things are ever worth letting go

In my time, I've been blessed
With a powerf

I'd give it up and start all over if I could
Chasing back the hands of time
Praise my intuition, knock on wood,
You could never change my mind.

Though I stop a lot and wonder
How the tables have been turned
I used to think I loved you
But I still can't really say fo

People see us everywhere;
They think you really care.
But myself I can't deceive.
I know it's only make believe.

My one and only prayer is that someday you'll care;
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so.
My

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
You can't know about everything
Only pleasure and pain
You wonder why I come here
With head to my hands

Where else can I be cured
And the king of your mansion?
A thorn in your side
And a child to protect
That

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain You can't know about everything only pleasure and pain. You wonder why I come here with head to my hands Where else can I be cured and the kin

Only a fool's unwise
I don't know why I should be so surprised
God knows what we've done
Much betteer to be late than too soon
You know you never get much running room
And just when you're having fun
Someone comes along

Just when you're having fun

Just as my l

Suspicion's breeding here
The town's going insane
It's like a roundup
Boarding people on a cattle train

Anything you can't stop
Paranoia is a remedy
We can do anything we want
Hiding out in Owens Valley

Full moon over Manzanar
A little piece of the rising

I see you got a lot on your mind
Maybe something that could change your
whole life
It's not for me or anyone else
To remind you what you ought to know well
It's gonna break up or break me down
I know I can't hang on much longer now
Just me out walkin' in my shoes

Bad decisions, my adventures
Some have faded, some I choose to keep
The past is crowded with quite a lot I'm not too proud of
But I could never feel ashamed
That someone helped me through the changes

I've been tempted, I've been cradled (cradled)
When I've needed someon

I'm afraid that this is all new to me
Barely touched the tip of the ice
The world is full of missed opportunities
Ask yourself what you feel inside

The trouble with you is the trouble with me
Both of us thinking we're on our own
If love's just a dream of what together c

If I laid down my love To come to your defense Would you worry for me With a pain in your chest? Could I rely on your faith to be strong To picked me back up and to push me along? Tell me You'

If I laid down my love
To come to your defense
Would you worry for me
With a pain in your chest?

Could I rely on your faith to be strong?
To pick me back up and to push me along?

Tell me
You'll be there in my hour of need
You won't turn me away
Help me out
