Name the price that you will pay
To know the future if you're feeling crazy today
Your destiny, future awaits
Don't waste my time, a gypsy ain't got all day
Please, sit down, give me your hand
I can see there's so much here you don't even understand
I see a man, I see him here
In a perfect life, in a perfect world, but something's vacant there
I see you've loaded up your truck
See you've been runnin' from your bad luck
Can't seem to find what you've been looking for
Can't seem to find a woman to fill the void no more
I'm here to say, stop right here
I can give you everything you're needing, dear
I see your eyes, all in a haze
You're falling deeper into my gaze
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me be your fortune
Let me be your fortune
I see your fears, I see them all
Scared if what I'm tellin' is really true at all
But you ain't runnin', no, you won't leave
There's no question that your future involved me
My crystal ball, it reads the same
As the cards on the table, hunny, and this ain't no game
You wanna stay, you wanna run
Wanna keep on holding my hand until you think this dream is done
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me be your fortune
Let me be your fortune
I see a fire inside your heart
It's just a matter of time until it kickstarts
Lean a little closer, listen to my words
I mean no foul, baby, this just is how it works
I'm telling you, I mean no lies
I have no broomstick, no trickery, no disguise
I am real, so is my kiss
Lemme give you one so good that you can't resist
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me help you out
Let me be your fortune, hunny
Let me be your fortune
Let me be your fortune

Mirage
05:56
|

As far as I can see
The horizon's just teasing me
Your silhouette is shimmering
Standing in pools of emerald green
But I've got a feeling
I'm heading nowhere
I'm calling to you, hunny
Why are you doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Doin' this to me
Oh, doin' this to me
I've got a fever; my heart's on fire
I'm dodging cactus and jackals and I
I see no roads, I see no clues
Just a mirage you're beckoning me to
You're there then gone in a second
I swear you do that every time
You kiss me like a sweet demon
Then disappear right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Right outta sight
Oh, right outta sight
My skin is crackin' just like the ground
And there is not a soul to be found
Just mine, and it's been trying to get free
Ever since signing up for you and me
Is that a shady haven
Is that the caravan, too
I won't stop until I know it
I don't know what I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
What I've gotten into
Oh, what I've gotten into
You've got me looking like a fool over here
I'm breathing sand and I'm swallowing fear
A scorpion stings at my every move
Just when I inch a little closer to you
I need your loving
Don't leave me high and dry
Please stop the hypnotizin'
Please show me to the finish line
Oh, to the finish line
To the finish line
Oh, to the finish line
To the finish line
Oh, to the finish line
To the finish line
To the finish line
To the finish line
To the finish line
To the finish line
To the finish line
Oh, take me to the finish line

Jack & José
05:31
|
|||
I woke up with a story
A story inside my head
I woke up with a story
A story inside my head
There were two unlikely troubadours
Sitting side by side on an empty floor
With battered 6-string beauties
In hand
Well, I've been around the block
The block a time or two
I've been around the block
The block a time or two
But never had I heard a song
That made me wanna stay asleep so long
And feel the darkness
Of such cryin' blues
And it can't be spoken
It can't be read
The things that Jack and José's fingers said
You'd think there were twelve people
Strummin' them strings
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
Well, I thought I saw smoke
Coming up, it seemed
I thought I saw smoke
Coming up, it seemed
As José moved like a hurricane
And Jack hammered on the sides and face
Of those poor guitars
While they sang
And it can't be spoken
It can't be read
The things that Jack and José's fingers said
You'd think there were twelve people
Strummin' them strings
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
And when I awoke
I couldn't even move
And when I awoke
I couldn't even move
For the music was too good, you see
For only an audience of me
I was paralyzed
In wishin' it were true
And it can't be spoken
It can't be read
The things that Jack and José's fingers said
You'd think there were twelve people
Strummin' them strings
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
It can't be spoken
It can't be read
The things that Jack and José's fingers said
You'd think there were twelve people
Strummin' them strings
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
It was a soul-igniting anomaly
It was a soul-igniting, harmonious anomaly

What Are We Waiting For?
04:25
|
|||
I've got something here to tell you, baby
Before this moment slips away
Been trying to be all nonchalant about it
But I can't go another day
No, I can't go another day
And I can't hide it anyway
If I could name you by a color, baby
I'd call you something new
Something mysterious and captivating
That would resemble you
The color of love is me and you
The color of love is me and you
I need you like the Earth needs water
Needs the sun
I need you when I'm tired
Need you on the run
You're the best kind of medicine
You're my cure
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
If I could write a story about us, baby
I'd write about the simple things
The way you know everything I'm thinking
When I don't say a thing
And how you make my heart sing
And how you make my heart sing
I need you like the Earth needs water
Needs the sun
I need you when I'm tired
Need you on the run
You're the best kind of medicine
You're my cure
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
I need you like the Earth needs water
Needs the sun
I need you when I'm tired
Need you on the run
You're the best kind of medicine
You're my cure
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for
So baby, come on
What are we waiting for

Sink or Swim
05:31
|
|||
I've been treading on thin ice
For a little too long
And even though the ground's unstable
I keep moving along
Like I'm a sucker for love
Like I'm magnetized to you
Well, I hate to admit it
But we both know it's kinda true
But we have got a problem and it's big
It's big as the moon
It's giant as a glacier covered up in
Shades of blue
See the water is cold
And so are you
Your heart's not really into
Anything that's not about you
I'm walkin' on water covered in thin ice
Don't wanna sink or swim
So you better play nice
You're a little cold hearted
So you better know I'm gonna
Watch my step, take my time this time
Could you use just a little less dazzle
Just a little less charm
Could you say it like you mean it
Like you feel it, without twisting an arm
If you want me to follow
Even when I don't think I should
Then I want you to know my soul
And know it real, real good
I wanna know that you will give a hand
If the ice gives way
I wanna know that I can stay warm
In your arms every day
But see, the water is cold
And so are you
Your heart's not really into
Anything that's not about you
I'm walkin' on water covered in thin ice
Don't wanna sink or swim
So you better play nice
You're a little cold hearted
So you better know I'm gonna
Watch my step, take my time this time
I'm walkin' on water covered in thin ice
Don't wanna sink or swim
So you better play nice
You're a little cold hearted
So you better know I'm gonna
Watch my step, take my time this time
Will you leave me stranded
Will you leave me abandoned today
Cause I can see my life crackin'
And it's happenin' from a mile away
I wanna believe
That I'm wrong
I must be thinking to much
And I'll be crazy before too long
But do I even know what I would do
If I were right
It's funny, all these questions in my head
That I constantly fight
But see, the water is cold
And so are you
Your heart's not really into
Anything that's not about you
I'm walkin' on water covered in thin ice
Don't wanna sink or swim
So you better play nice
You're a little cold hearted
So you better know I'm gonna
Watch my step, take my time this time
I'm walkin' on water covered in thin ice
Don't wanna sink or swim
So you better play nice
You're a little cold hearted
So you better know I'm gonna
Watch my step, take my time this time
Time this time
Time this time
Time this time

Prone to Wander
03:24
|
|||
How impossible is a whisper
When everyone 'round me shouts
Sometimes I just wish there was a way
To drown the noise all out
All out, all out
Everyone 'bout their business
Moving like speed of light
Moments and memories just slipping by
While Father Time just sighs
Just sighs, just sighs
I need to get in the mountains
Go and feel the breeze
The shadows of the trees
Kissing me
Maybe some say I'm prone to wander
That I'm just living in a dream
But when I'm out here I feel I know my name
And that I can do anything
Anything
I need to get in the mountains
Go and feel the breeze
The shadows of the trees
Kissing me
I wanna explore a little
I wanna get lost in being found
And rest my feet upon that hallowed ground
And let all my thoughts slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down
Slow down, slow down, slow down

Checkmate
05:23
|
|||
He said, look
There's really no need to explain
I'm looking pale grey in the face
I've got a most definitely bad case
Of something that you don't really wanna taste
And I know you think it sounds so extreme
How can I do such a thing
But baby, I'm checking in to the quarantine
While you've been
Watching, praying for my soul
I've just been taking on a heavy toll
I've got a heart as dark and black as coal
Diseases to my bones from head to toe
And there's so much more you don't even know
And I know you don't want me to go
But baby, I'm checking in to the quarantine
I'm like a sick plague
A shorted wire
I'm a fire breathing dragon
A black hole swallowing stars
I'm the gum beneath your favorite shoes
I don't wanna take a hold of you
I'm like the poison in the air you intake
I'm like a a bad dream you can't escape
I'm in a game of chess
And baby, I'm in checkmate
She said, I agree
You're looking a little strange
But all those other things you said, I see no trace
You're just scared to love the one who makes
Your world a much better place
So you just sit here and lie to my face
But baby, let's just cut to the chase
I know you don't belong in the quarantine
He said, hunny
I hate to let you down
But I see there's no other way around
There's only one way to be found
To know that I am not messin' around
But I cannot let you go with me
See the things that have become of me
So, I'm checking in to the quarantine
I'm like a sick plague
A shorted wire
I'm a fire breathing dragon
A black hole swallowing stars
I'm the gum beneath your favorite shoes
I don't wanna take a hold of you
I'm like the poison in the air you intake
I'm like a a bad dream you can't escape
I'm in a game of chess
And baby, I'm in checkmate
I'm like a sick plague
A shorted wire
I'm a fire breathing dragon
A black hole swallowing stars
I'm the gum beneath your favorite shoes
I don't wanna take a hold of you
I'm like the poison in the air you intake
I'm like a a bad dream you can't escape
I'm in a game of chess
And baby, I'm in checkmate
I'm in a game of chess
And baby, I'm in checkmate
I'm in a game of chess
And baby, I'm in checkmate

Gravity
03:15
|

Please, explain this anomaly
I wanna know about this mystery
I gotta know, I gotta know
I gotta know what's happening
Is this real or is this wizardry
Have you just put a spell on me
You've got a hold, you got a hold
You got a hold of me
Like gravity
Like gravity
Are you the devil in a sweet disguise
If I go with you will I be alright
Cause I don't, cause I don't
Cause I don't know how to read those eyes
And I can't get away even if I tried
It feels like a battle that I just can't fight
You've got the pull, you the got the pull
You got the pull of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity
You've got the pull, you got the pull
You got the pull of gravity
You've got the pull, you got the pull
You got the pull of gravity
You've got the pull, you got the pull
You got the pull of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity
Of gravity

The Shadow
05:02
|

I see you, old shadow
How long you been there
I was just soaking up the sunshine
Getting some fresh air
I should've known better
I know this all too well
You're just a step right behind
And you're ready to raise hell
Ready to raise hell
Do you just need some company
Somebody to be your friend
Are you a feeding parasite
Am I the host you're living in
How do you creep inside my dreams
And make them do as you say
My thoughts are puppets on a string
With no control even when I wake
Give me a break
And I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
But I cannot escape you
But I cannot escape you
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
But I cannot escape you
But I cannot escape you
You
Sometimes you lie dormant
Like you've had enough
Kick up my feet and laugh at
How I gave in to all that stuff
I wake up to bluebird skies
With not a worry or care
But the further that I climb
The further the fall you prepare
Get outta here
And I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
But I cannot escape you
But I cannot escape you
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
I keep runnin'
But I cannot escape you
But I cannot escape you
You
I see you, old shadow
How long you been there
I was just soaking up the sunshine
Getting some fresh air
I should've known better
I know this all too well
You're just a step right behind
And you're ready to raise hell
Ready to raise hell

Just an Earthquake Away
04:24
|
|||
You've got a heartbeat
You've got your own feet
Go do what you
Wanna do today
But don't you dare test me
Things can get messy
I'm just an earthquake away
I've been sleepin'
With one eye open
While you've been slippin' in bed
Late at night
And I've been findin'
Things you've been hidin'
It's about time I set it right
And I'll be rollin'
I'll be rollin'
I'll be rollin'
Won't see me coming 'til it's too late
Gonna tower over and wash away
Come crashing down on your game
Oh, I'm just an earthquake away
You hear that rumblin'
You hear that crumblin'
Are those the ruins that you made
The ground won't stop shakin'
The waves are awakenin'
Better put on your life vest and pray
And pray
And pray
And pray
Cause I'll be rollin'
I'll be rollin'
I'll be rollin'
Won't see me coming 'til it's too late
Gonna tower over and wash away
Come crashing down on your game
Oh, I'm just an earthquake away
Away
Won't see me coming 'til it's too late
Gonna tower over and wash away
Come crashing down on your game
Oh, I'm just an earthquake away

St. Vitus' Dance
07:15
|
|||
There's somethin' stirrin' in the streets
I can see it, see it on your feet
But there's no rhythm
Yeah, there's no beat
Just superstition and talk of disease
It don't matter how hard you fight
It's gonna sneak up and bite
There's somethin' stirrin'
Somethin' stirrin'
Hey there, sister, what you gonna do
Gonna see a physician do diagnose you
Cause I'm worried about you
It's like a demon's gone and possessed you
It's OK to dance around
But you ain't never gonna slow down
Hey now, sister
Hey now, slow down, sister
Hey now, slow down, sister
Hey now, slow down, sister
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
Got a hold of you
Hey there, physician, tell me, what is this
Please, talk to sister, she just can't resist
And now the town is followin'
They been jiggin' by the hundreds
He said, Their blood's too hot to sit
They better keep movin' and not quit
Said the physician
Then came the orders to build a stage
They hired musicians like us to play
Supposed to keep 'um on their toes all day
To drive that, that plague away
But I saw 'um droppin' down like flies
They kept dancin' until they died
But those were the orders
Hey now, those were the orders
Hey now, those were the orders
Hey now, stop the orders
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
Got a hold of 'um
I saw 'um leapin', I saw 'um prance
I saw 'um scurry to St. Vitus' Dance
I saw 'um leapin', I saw 'um tranced
I saw 'um scurry to St. Vitus' Dance
And then I looked down at my feet
They were mimicking in defeat
What you done, sister
What you done to me
What you done, sister
What you done to me
What you done, sister
What you done to me
What you done, sister
What you done to me
What you done to me
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of me
St. Vitus' Dance got a hold of you
Got a hold of me

Between the High Tides
07:14
|
|||
The birds, they are high
The water is low
I'm playin' between the high tides
I've nowhere to go
A breeze is in the air and
The ocean's falling quiet
I've got no fishing fever
Again, until tonight
For now, I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin' on
The shoreline's edge
There's nowhere you can run to
When all you need is rest
But somehow I'm feeling
A little weight come off my chest
As the fish come full circle
To die where they were born
I'm trudgin' through the mud and
I'm headed down for more
For now, I won't be a-waitin'
Won't be a-waitin'
Won't be a-waitin'
Won't be a-waitin'
Won't be a-waitin' on
That shoreline's edge
Little did I know I
Was over my head
My dipnet kept heavy
My waders stained with red
I didn't stop 'til morning
I gave all I had
I jumped with both feet in
And that always makes me glad
Now, I'm back just a-waitin'
Back just a-waitin'
Back just a-waitin'
Back just a-waitin'
Back just a-waitin' on
That shoreline's edge
One thing I know is
I don't know everything
Sometimes I'm just chasin'
The shadows that I see
My life is full of blessing
And there are some regrets
But when I'm in the water
I only think of the best
So, I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin' on
The shoreline's edge
Yeah, I'll be a waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin'
I'll be a-waitin' on
That shoreline's edge
