You
You can fill the room
On the Planes
Life on the planes
Life ain’t the same
On the planes
You can’t see
Far beyond me
On the planes
Planes ain’t got nowhere to go
So close your eyes
Go to Bed
They threw it down
To the other
You should be proud
You’ve been down so long
You’ll never be down
I saw you standing there
With a smile in your face
Well throw it back
Oh
Just go to bed
Ace of Diamonds
Well
King of diamonds
Queen of spades
You played your cards
Your hand’s been laid
Well
Ace of diamonds
King of spades
The prize is mine
I won the game
You can play for money
You can play for time
You can gamble away
Your very last dime
You think you’re free
On a winning spree
Well
Ace of diamonds
King of spades
You’re going down
Way down
And that ain’t all
’Cause don’t forget
The next time you call
May be your last bet
’Cause ace of diamonds
King of spades
Your life is leaving
Watch how it fades
You’re getting old
You’re losing time
And I don’t mind taking
Your very last dime
You’re getting old
You’re losing time
And I don’t mind taking
Your very last dime
I don’t mind taking
Your very last dime
Twenty-Four
Just turn the page to twenty-three
Tomorrow be twenty-four
In the morning
A new day
Late at night
It’s not the same
It’s a mystery
A history
You’re gonna live until you die
It makes you shake
It knocks you out
A blinding light
Black as night
Being born
You got no choice
You’re gonna live until you die
Fifty-two years old today
Forty-four yesterday
It’s all mixed up
Don’t make no sense
Just turn the page to twenty-four
There may be hundreds
That been before
You might have been
Somebody else
Your world is shaking
It makes you shake
Might as well go on and shake
Just turn the page to twenty-three
You’re gonna live until you die
No Slow Ones
I’ve been needing a rest
For a mighty long time
But you gave me your best
You threw me a line
Well
I’m shutting my door
From now until then
And if you wanna come back
I guess I’ll see you again
I’ve been sitting on top
For almost as long
As you would care to know
So I’m biding my time
I’m willing to wait
With living down
Telegraph Melts
When the telegraph melts
And it’s still ringing your name
When your shoes got holes
And the sidewalk’s not the same
And you’re falling down
Then you can think about your mother
You can think about your friends
But you can’t blame me for not being around
You know I told you long ago
Before you grew so old
That I wasn’t meant for claws falling on my face
I say you knew it was a jungle
I was a woman had a place to go
If you can’t come with me then I just don’t know
But I’m wild about your humor
When you laughed in my face
You know I didn’t mind
When you stood on my head and
Then I turned the tables around
I thought it just another day
I thought you saw it my way
But oh to my surprise
There’s a difference in your eyes
And I find it hard to find you
Say you want an ashtray
Say you think you found the way
Well you can joke about me baby
You can say my name in vain

Star Up in the Sky
If you walk along the river
You’ll find him there
Just living there
Last night I saw the evening star
Oh God I’m glad to hear it
You just made my day
I know I’m not diversified
Because I saw it in the sky
A very good place to see it in the sky
Way up in the sky
Last night it was in the sky
Oh my up in the sky
I saw the star up in the sky
I saw the star up in the sky
You Painted Your Teeth
I got my knife
I got my knife
If you want to breathe baby
Don’t paint your teeth
Don’t paint your teeth
I got my gun
I got my gun
If you want to laugh baby
Don’t paint your teeth
Don’t paint ’em
You don’t paint your teeth
Don’t paint your teeth
Your teeth are white
And they’ll stay that way
If you don’t paint ’em
Don’t paint your teeth
Don’t paint your teeth
Don’t paint your teeth mama
Don’t paint your teeth
I painted my teeth
I said I painted my teeth
You painted your teeth
And you think you’re fine
But you gotta die
You gotta die
Six black horses and a coal black hearse
Six black horses and a coal black hearse
There’s a black body
It’s got a big white shroud
But the only thing colored
It’s your teeth mama
It’s your teeth
You gotta go to heaven
Everything’s gonna be white
White very very very very white baby
But not your teeth
You painted your teeth
You painted your teeth

The Fly
I saw him winging ‘round
He was a big buzzing fly
He took me to his home
It was a spider web
I said no not this time
I looked around the corner
Saw a car I liked
It was a ten gallon hat
And I could do without that
Mama’s jumping
Cops are pumping
Buster where you work
I said I work inside my cabinet
Filled with hundred dollar bills
Goin to the graveyard
Gonna dig up a dead man
Say buster where’s your wife
And pull out a knife
Say
I kissed a girl last Sunday
House Up On the Hill
You know
About the house
The house up on the hill
You can drink your fill
I’m going to the house
Up to the house
Up on the hill
I can drink my fill
The house up on the hill
It’s getting mighty full
It’s gettin mighty full
The house up on the hill
Has seen so many days
It’s seen a lot of days
And it ain’t making hay
And it’s getting mighty full
The house up on the hill
The house up on the hill
The house up on the hill
The house up on the hill
The house up on the hill
It’s painted darkest black
The windows are all broken
You can’t get in the back door
The back door
The house up on the hill
The house….
