You been fading all night long Like a spirit on the vine Everything you know is wrong Could be starting to lose your mind I’m over trying to shake your tree But you been shaking mine Consider next steps carefully Don’t be taking the wrong path blind You used to be so tall… Now you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, I ain’t breaking your fall Rise up, you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, you gotta pay for it all Tell me what you think you see in the mirror on the wall A bleeding heart emergency when you don't come home at all Your situation's all screwed up, there's poison in the wine You thought the Lord would help you, but he ain't willing to take your kind You used to be so tall… Now you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, I ain’t breaking your fall Rise up, you’re doing the dead man’s crawl Rise up, you gotta pay for it all

Three days hiding in a shotgun shack, I’m starting to climb the walls Never paid mind when the old man said, pride comes before a fall Losing time to the ceiling fan, going crazy from the heat No more running from that old hellhound, think he might just have me beat Mean old crow on the telephone line condemns me with his eyes Reckoning time for the sinful man behind dark and dusty blinds Quarter past, I thought I heard Old Scratch come knocking on my door Splinters, cracks or maybe six-foot rats crawling underneath the floor Three days hiding in a shotgun shack, I’m starting to climb the walls Never paid mind when the old man said, pride comes before a fall Now my broken bride and my 45 are all hidden carefully Only seen in a fever dream, full of love, madness and jealousy

Fault Line 04:57
Picks himself up off the ground Dusts his body down A cool and callous breeze the only sound Remembers drinking till tempers had started to fray And saying ‘sorry you feel that way’ Didn’t see that right hand comin’ round Maybe he’s running out of time Keep on rolling the stone, keep following the fault line Weary and wired and broken inside Just don’t know If the bones ever really show Seems like his song didn’t play Or maybe he lost his way Between here and the western skyline The sun’s over the hill like the bloodshot eye Of a busted and beat down barfly It just keeps on comin’ round Maybe he’s running out of time Keep on rolling the stone, keep following the fault line Weary and wired and broken inside Just don’t know If the bones ever really show ‘I don’t know where I’m calling from’ ‘But baby I’m coming back home’ He tells the silence down the telephone But the memories that burn like kerosene They’re all crumbling from whiskey and codeine Her faded picture blows into the road Maybe he’s running out of time Keep on rolling the stone, keep following the fault line Weary and wired and broken inside Just don’t know If the bones ever really show

Backslider 04:03
Walkin’ with Diablo by my side, Creepin’ since I don’t know when Asked me once, asked me twice Didn’t need to ask me again He said hey hey, I got your thing Step inside the alleyway You can fly, or wonder why You got a feeling that you just been played See how easy it’s gonna be Well if you wanna backslide, come on and backslide with me Dealer at the table countin’ down the time A joker with a crooked grin Hit me once, hit me twice Didn’t need to hit me again Said too bad, you blew your hand Doesn’t matter what you got to say You can cry, or justify How you came to lose a whole week’s pay See how easy it’s gonna be Well if you wanna backslide, come on and backslide with me Saw her on the corner all sweet beguile Sharpening a mojo pin Cut me once, cut me twice Didn’t need to cut me again She said so long, come back sometime We can always play another game I won’t be shy, or hard to find Cos you already know my name See how easy it’s gonna be Well if you wanna backslide, come on and backslide with me

Siren Song 03:26
Keeps calling, it just won’t stop now Sweat’s pooling in the pale moonlight I keep praying, over and over But the fire in her eyes keeps me up at night Sweet singing, from way down low now I dreamed of water under blood red sky The creek’s filling, colder and colder Only me and the devil know the reason why Night’s crawling, there’s no way back now A voice keening through the great divide Keep standing, shoulder to shoulder Till the light of the morning kills the storm inside Still dancing, around my mind now The fever’s breaking but the tide runs high God willing, soon I will hold her Cos the brave and the blinded ain’t afraid to die Sweet singing, from way down low now I dreamed of water under blood red sky The creek’s filling, colder and colder Only me and the devil know the reason why
