Someone Like Me lyrics - Kasey Chambers
You are the morning coming out everyday
You're the sunshine and the wind, and rain
You're like the song stuck in my head
That will never go away
You're the river running wild, never stay
You're the bird who's singing on my window sill
You're the light shining down
You're the mansion on the hill
You've got it all figured out
You've got it all
But the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
You're the finder of the straight and the lost
You're the value, You're the worth, You're the cost
You're the Savior and the faith
Coming down from the cross
You're the power that I hold in my hand
You're the water coming up through the sand
You're the one who makes me wanna be
Just the way I am
You've got it all figured out
You've got it all
But the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
You might just walk right by me
You might not see
That the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
You're the sunshine and the wind, and rain
You're like the song stuck in my head
That will never go away
You're the river running wild, never stay
You're the bird who's singing on my window sill
You're the light shining down
You're the mansion on the hill
You've got it all figured out
You've got it all
But the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
You're the finder of the straight and the lost
You're the value, You're the worth, You're the cost
You're the Savior and the faith
Coming down from the cross
You're the power that I hold in my hand
You're the water coming up through the sand
You're the one who makes me wanna be
Just the way I am
You've got it all figured out
You've got it all
But the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
You might just walk right by me
You might not see
That the only thing You need is me
You need someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Beautiful Mess lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, I prayed that the sun was a hope and the rain was an angel
And I came out of the treetop and into the cradle
And I broke down like a baby with the hungriest belly
You make it all worth my while
Well, I lay under the covers for a hundred days
And I close both my eyes till a relative came
And I spun round in a circle till I came undone
But you make it all worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while
I laughed so nobody had to ever catch me crying
And I cried so nobody had to ever catch me lying
And I failed a thousand times but it keeps me trying
'Cause you make it all worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while, worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Something's happened and I don't know why
And it all comes down at the end of the day
It's hard to handle and it's hard to take
And it's money be the world, money be game
I've been broken and I've been ashamed
I've been caught in the world, out in the blue
Crashed to the floor but I still have you
I still have you, I still have you
I still have you, I still have you
And I came out of the treetop and into the cradle
And I broke down like a baby with the hungriest belly
You make it all worth my while
Well, I lay under the covers for a hundred days
And I close both my eyes till a relative came
And I spun round in a circle till I came undone
But you make it all worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while
I laughed so nobody had to ever catch me crying
And I cried so nobody had to ever catch me lying
And I failed a thousand times but it keeps me trying
'Cause you make it all worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while, worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Everything about you was worth my while
So send me to the grave with the age old question
How to get into this beautiful mess
And it was never my intention and never my style
Something's happened and I don't know why
And it all comes down at the end of the day
It's hard to handle and it's hard to take
And it's money be the world, money be game
I've been broken and I've been ashamed
I've been caught in the world, out in the blue
Crashed to the floor but I still have you
I still have you, I still have you
I still have you, I still have you
Devil On Your Back lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, I don't know if it's in the Bible
You got a holy heart
There's a devil in the valley down below
And you keep falling back to the start
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything's gonna be just fine
Well, I don't know if it's on the table
But I was once like you
I held my heart out upon my sleeve
And it came back broken in two
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything is gonna be just fine, just fine, just fine, just fine
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything is gonna be
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything's gonna be just fine, just fine, just fine
You got a holy heart
There's a devil in the valley down below
And you keep falling back to the start
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything's gonna be just fine
Well, I don't know if it's on the table
But I was once like you
I held my heart out upon my sleeve
And it came back broken in two
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything is gonna be just fine, just fine, just fine, just fine
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
Hold your breath, somebody's here
Hold your breath, somebody's coming
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulders
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything is gonna be
There's the devil on your back, worry on your mind
Weight of the world on your shoulder
Don't look back, don't waste time
Everything's gonna be just fine, just fine, just fine
Little Bird lyrics - Kasey Chambers
A little bird told me late last night that if I hold my breath and do everything right
You might come back
If I color my hair and I wear it down and I make you laugh like a circus clown
You might come back
And a little bird said with the wink of an eye if I beg real hard and I do not cry
You might come back
If I keep my opinion under my breath and I only bring it out when the master says
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
But a little bird told me as plain as day if I changed my name and I change my way
You might come back
If I sell my soul for the greater cause
If I burn my records and I listen to yours
You might come back
And a little bird said in the middle of a dream if I shut my mouth and I don't make a scene
You might come back
If I crossed my fingers and curl my toes
If I looked liked the other girls
Everybody knows
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
You might come back
If I color my hair and I wear it down and I make you laugh like a circus clown
You might come back
And a little bird said with the wink of an eye if I beg real hard and I do not cry
You might come back
If I keep my opinion under my breath and I only bring it out when the master says
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
But a little bird told me as plain as day if I changed my name and I change my way
You might come back
If I sell my soul for the greater cause
If I burn my records and I listen to yours
You might come back
And a little bird said in the middle of a dream if I shut my mouth and I don't make a scene
You might come back
If I crossed my fingers and curl my toes
If I looked liked the other girls
Everybody knows
You might come back
But I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
No I don't want you that bad
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
Georgia Brown lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, Johnny was a poor man on wrong side of town
He said he loved a girl named Georgia Brown
Georgia's on the hip side living in sin
With Johnny who'd gone in vain
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Georgia's in the Cadillac, dressed as a nun
All the way, over on the passenger's side
Johnny leans in for a kiss on the cheek
But Georgia's in the driver's seat
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Standing at the [?] on a Saturday night
That's Georgia in the back, all dressed in white
Daddy's on the run with a permanent grin
And Johnny comes barging in, singing
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
He said he loved a girl named Georgia Brown
Georgia's on the hip side living in sin
With Johnny who'd gone in vain
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Georgia's in the Cadillac, dressed as a nun
All the way, over on the passenger's side
Johnny leans in for a kiss on the cheek
But Georgia's in the driver's seat
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Standing at the [?] on a Saturday night
That's Georgia in the back, all dressed in white
Daddy's on the run with a permanent grin
And Johnny comes barging in, singing
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Georgia Brown
Oh, my Lord, she had him running around
Somewhere lyrics- Kasey Chambers
Somewhere there is somebody
Looking for the one they love
Somewhere there is somebody
Looking to the sky above
Somewhere a tear is falling
For a broken heart
Somewhere a voice is calling
"I'm falling apart"
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
Somewhere there is somebody
Waiting for the day to come
Somewhere there is somebody
On the wrong end of a gun
Somewhere a word is spoken
Meant so unkind
And somewhere a promise is broken
For the hundredth time
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
Somewhere there is somebody
Praying down upon their knees
Somewhere there is somebody
Begging, "Baby, come back, please"
Somewhere in a far off land
There's hope in their eyes
And somewhere God takes a man
With no reason why
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
And I'm all cried out
Looking for the one they love
Somewhere there is somebody
Looking to the sky above
Somewhere a tear is falling
For a broken heart
Somewhere a voice is calling
"I'm falling apart"
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
Somewhere there is somebody
Waiting for the day to come
Somewhere there is somebody
On the wrong end of a gun
Somewhere a word is spoken
Meant so unkind
And somewhere a promise is broken
For the hundredth time
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
Somewhere there is somebody
Praying down upon their knees
Somewhere there is somebody
Begging, "Baby, come back, please"
Somewhere in a far off land
There's hope in their eyes
And somewhere God takes a man
With no reason why
And I'm all cried out
Yeah, I'm all cried out
And I'm all cried out
This Story lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Once in a blue moon and four-leaf clover
Something reminds me that the fairy tale's over
There's no more pages, it's too late to change a thing
There's no more chances, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
After the smoke clears of the flame and the flashes
It never took too long, the story was ashes
There's no more pages, it's too late to change a thing
There's no more chances, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
The wheel keeps turning, crashing, burning
I keep learning, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
Oh, you're never coming back again
Something reminds me that the fairy tale's over
There's no more pages, it's too late to change a thing
There's no more chances, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
After the smoke clears of the flame and the flashes
It never took too long, the story was ashes
There's no more pages, it's too late to change a thing
There's no more chances, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
The wheel keeps turning, crashing, burning
I keep learning, I just can't win, no, I just can't win
But if you tell me a story, change it for me
Take her out and put me back in
Keep me standing, change the ending
Turn the page and take the part out
When you're never coming back again
Oh, you're never coming back again
Love Like A Hurricane lyrics - Kasey Chambers (feat. Kevin Bennett)
Sweet hallelujah, I can just see the light
I can see it down in a hole
Crawl, baby crawl, we can do this together
Take my hand, take my heart and my soul
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
Sweet hallelujah, I can just see the sign
I can see it from losing my way
Your words are all fading but the closer that I get
I can breathe in as clear as day
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
I can see it down in a hole
Crawl, baby crawl, we can do this together
Take my hand, take my heart and my soul
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
Sweet hallelujah, I can just see the sign
I can see it from losing my way
Your words are all fading but the closer that I get
I can breathe in as clear as day
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
We Gotta roll with the punches and laugh like a clown
Cry like the driving rain
Ask for forgiveness and drift like the wind
And love like a hurricane
Down Here On Earth lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Come down from your high horse
Aren't you tired and lonely?
Come down from your high horse
If you wanna get to know me
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Come down from your high horse
Don't be bitter and twisted
Come down from your high horse
You'll be mad, you missed it
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Come down from your high horse
Aren't you tired and lonely?
Come down from your high horse
If you wanna get to know me
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Aren't you tired and lonely?
Come down from your high horse
If you wanna get to know me
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Come down from your high horse
Don't be bitter and twisted
Come down from your high horse
You'll be mad, you missed it
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Come down from your high horse
Aren't you tired and lonely?
Come down from your high horse
If you wanna get to know me
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Hey, ho, round we go
Or make it worse
Hey, ho, round we go
It's better down here on earth
Nullarbor / The Biggest Backyard lyrics - Kasey Chambers
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high
Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky
And every now and then
I heard a vile tree cry my name
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see
I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines
Southwest of Adelaide
All the way down to the sea and back
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain
Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train
Ten cents on the track for days
Before it never came and went
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark
Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark
Making sure that I had all the room here in my house
For me and all of the world
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
I had the biggest backyard in the world
It went on for miles and miles, was wide as it was high
Down to the horizon, all the way up to the sky
And every now and then
I heard a vile tree cry my name
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
Covered up with red dirt as far as I could see
I shared it with the railway and the Aborigines
Southwest of Adelaide
All the way down to the sea and back
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
The sun would shine until the day I asked for it to rain
Countdown the sleeps until the tea and sugar train
Ten cents on the track for days
Before it never came and went
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
Sitting 'round the campfire that started from a spark
Rolling down the Gun Barrel Highway in the dark
Making sure that I had all the room here in my house
For me and all of the world
When I was a little girl
I had the biggest backyard in the world
Bring Back My Heart lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Well, if you see someone lighting up the dark
Just tell him to bring back my heart
And if you see someone tearing me apart
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, you'll be running faster than a mouth with curry
After all the rain comes down
He might be empty handed but he's injured
Like a bandit on the wrong side of town
But I, I won't cry, oh, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, if you see someone shining like a spark
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, if you see someone tearing me apart
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, you'll be running faster than a mouth with curry
After all the rain comes down
He might be empty handed but he's injured
Like a bandit on the wrong side of town
But I, I won't cry, oh, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my heart
No I, I won't cry, no, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my
Just tell him to bring back my
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Just tell him to bring back my heart
And if you see someone tearing me apart
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, you'll be running faster than a mouth with curry
After all the rain comes down
He might be empty handed but he's injured
Like a bandit on the wrong side of town
But I, I won't cry, oh, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, if you see someone shining like a spark
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, if you see someone tearing me apart
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Well, you'll be running faster than a mouth with curry
After all the rain comes down
He might be empty handed but he's injured
Like a bandit on the wrong side of town
But I, I won't cry, oh, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my heart
No I, I won't cry, no, I know we have to part
So just tell him to bring back my
Just tell him to bring back my
Just tell him to bring back my heart
Invisible Girl lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Every morning I wake up
And think of what I could have done
To make you see that I'm the one you need
And every afternoon I sit down
To think of how to be around you
Day and night until the end of time
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Every evening I shut my eyes
To wonder why you never noticed
Never knew, all I think about is you
And every night I try to keep myself asleep
'Cause in my dreams I totally see
You want to be with me
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Just wait a minute, I don't ever wanna wake up
I'll leave the heartache in the back of the car
It's not that you have never looked straight through me
No running circles like a bug in a jar
And make me leave you, only see me
'Cause I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Yeah, I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
And think of what I could have done
To make you see that I'm the one you need
And every afternoon I sit down
To think of how to be around you
Day and night until the end of time
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Every evening I shut my eyes
To wonder why you never noticed
Never knew, all I think about is you
And every night I try to keep myself asleep
'Cause in my dreams I totally see
You want to be with me
But I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Just wait a minute, I don't ever wanna wake up
I'll leave the heartache in the back of the car
It's not that you have never looked straight through me
No running circles like a bug in a jar
And make me leave you, only see me
'Cause I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Yeah, I am invisible to you, invisible to you
I'm lost in the crowd again
I'll go down in history all over the world
As the invisible girl
Train Wreck lyrics - Kasey Chambers
You're like a train wreck, baby, you're making me crazy
Nobody can save me now
It's like a bottleneck pile of your dump from high up
And you landed on your feet somehow
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out
You're like a train wreck, honey, for all of the money
I would never wanna do it again
It's like a storm a-coming at a hundred and one
On a scale from zero to ten
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out
Rolling, rolling down and down
Rolling, rolling down and down
Rolling, rolling down
You're like a train wreck, baby, you're making me crazy
Nobody can save me now
Like a bottleneck pile of your dump from high up
And you landed on your feet somehow
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out, out, out
Nobody can save me now
It's like a bottleneck pile of your dump from high up
And you landed on your feet somehow
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out
You're like a train wreck, honey, for all of the money
I would never wanna do it again
It's like a storm a-coming at a hundred and one
On a scale from zero to ten
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out
Rolling, rolling down and down
Rolling, rolling down and down
Rolling, rolling down
You're like a train wreck, baby, you're making me crazy
Nobody can save me now
Like a bottleneck pile of your dump from high up
And you landed on your feet somehow
Odeley, I'm on a one way route
Odeley, I got no way out, out, out
The Stupid Things I Do lyrics - Kasey Chambers
Drift into space like a moth to a flame
Talking too much but forgetting my name
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
Stand in the corner, counting down sleeps
Holding my breath and I'm playing for keeps
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all
I love you
Mix all my words up and say it all wrong
Don't see enough but I stare way too long
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I tilt my head back and flutter my eyes
Hide my mistakes and believe all my lies
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all
I love you
Talking too much but forgetting my name
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
Stand in the corner, counting down sleeps
Holding my breath and I'm playing for keeps
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all
I love you
Mix all my words up and say it all wrong
Don't see enough but I stare way too long
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I tilt my head back and flutter my eyes
Hide my mistakes and believe all my lies
These are the stupid things that I do
'Cause I love you
I love you all, I love you all
I love you all, I love you all
I love you
Rattlin' Bones lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Left my home and left my love
[Kasey] Caught on a rusty nail
[Shane] Devil rose up, heavy with gold
[Kasey] My soul's not for sale
[Shane] Then a holy man in a house of God
[Kasey] He offered me a book of prayer
[Shane] And when I left my home I left my love
[Both] I left my faith back there
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Kasey] Darkness makes no sound
[Shane] Climb it up, bottom there
[Kasey] Earth's on the way back down
[Shane] When a sadness falls on the morning bird
[Kasey] Wonder what the day will bring
[Shane] But I'm shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Both] At least that bird can sing
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratching at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Left my home and left my love
[Kasey] Caught on a rusty nail
[Shane] Devil rose up, heavy with gold
[Kasey] My soul's not for sale
[Shane] Then a holy man in a house of God
[Kasey] He offered me a book of prayer
[Shane] And when I left my home I left my love
[Both] I left my faith back there
Smoke don't rise
Fuel don't burn
Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
[Shane] Shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Kasey] Darkness makes no sound
[Shane] Climb it up, bottom there
[Kasey] Earth's on the way back down
[Shane] When a sadness falls on the morning bird
[Kasey] Wonder what the day will bring
[Shane] But I'm shuttin' my eyes and hang my head
[Both] At least that bird can sing
Smoke don't rise

Sun don't shine no more
Late one night, sorrow come round
Scratchin' at my door
But I cut my hands
And break my back
Draggin' this bag of stones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
Till they bury me down, beneath the ground
With the dust and rattlin' bones
Once In A While lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
If I wasn't all you wanted
If I wasn't even close
Only hope that I made you smile
Maybe more then once in a while
If you never felt the blessing
If you only made it through
I only hope that I made you smile
Maybe more then once in a while
If we sleep right through the ending
If we slowly fade away
I'll only hope I went that extra mile
Maybe more then once in a while
I only hope that i made you smile
maybe more thne once in a while
maybe more then once in a while
If I wasn't even close
Only hope that I made you smile
Maybe more then once in a while
If you never felt the blessing
If you only made it through
I only hope that I made you smile
Maybe more then once in a while
If we sleep right through the ending
If we slowly fade away
I'll only hope I went that extra mile
Maybe more then once in a while
I only hope that i made you smile
maybe more thne once in a while
maybe more then once in a while
Sweetest Waste Of Time lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
If you don't see me, caught in your wire
If you don't hear me, outside your door
If all this waiting, just leaves me wanting
You still would be, the sweetest waste of time
[Shane] If I could learn
[Kasey] The ways of your mind
[Shane] If I could burn
[Kasey] A hole in your cold heart
[Shane] Everytime,
[Kasey] I called your name
If you don't need me, when you get lonely
If you don't want me, to call your own
If all this hoping, just leaves me hurting
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
[Shane] If you could find
[Kasey] A way through the dark
[Shane] If you could shine
[Kasey] A light on my cold heart
[Shane] Everytime,
[Kasey] I lost my way
If you don't see me, caught in your wire
If you don't hear me, outside your door
If all this wanting, just leaves me waiting
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
If you don't hear me, outside your door
If all this waiting, just leaves me wanting
You still would be, the sweetest waste of time
[Shane] If I could learn
[Kasey] The ways of your mind
[Shane] If I could burn
[Kasey] A hole in your cold heart
[Shane] Everytime,
[Kasey] I called your name
If you don't need me, when you get lonely
If you don't want me, to call your own
If all this hoping, just leaves me hurting
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
[Shane] If you could find
[Kasey] A way through the dark
[Shane] If you could shine
[Kasey] A light on my cold heart
[Shane] Everytime,
[Kasey] I lost my way
If you don't see me, caught in your wire
If you don't hear me, outside your door
If all this wanting, just leaves me waiting
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
You still would be the sweetest waste of time
Monkey On A Wire lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
They make no sounds, They ring no bell
Leaving no traces, They got no tales to tell
They find no home, They make no love
Casting no shadow while balancing above
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
They keep no fear, no second prize
Walking like Jesus with voodoo in their eyes
They come in green, they leave in black
Holding dead roses with bullets in their backs
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
They make no sound, they ring no bell
Walking like Jesus goin straight-on into hell
Oh oh there you go, you and your desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Leaving no traces, They got no tales to tell
They find no home, They make no love
Casting no shadow while balancing above
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
They keep no fear, no second prize
Walking like Jesus with voodoo in their eyes
They come in green, they leave in black
Holding dead roses with bullets in their backs
Oh oh here I go me and my desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
They make no sound, they ring no bell
Walking like Jesus goin straight-on into hell
Oh oh there you go, you and your desire
Everyones got their own monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, leader of the choir
Is waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Oh oh down below, wrapped up in the fire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
Waiting for the next monkey on a wire
One More Year lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
He was walking across the wire
Holding a loaded gun
Taking out every lightbulb
One by one
And she was building brand new walls
To keep her safe and sound
Sometimes a place to live
Is just a place to hide
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
Well he was sparks and gasoline
All fire and command
The warmest comfort dies
In the coldest hands
And she was two steps from the edge
But holding on somehow
Even God himself couldn't blame her now
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
Now he's working on a plan
Learning to make her smile
Maybe a change of pace
Or a change of style
And she's walking across the wire
Holding a loaded gun
Hoping that what we feel
Ain't what we've become
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
Holding a loaded gun
Taking out every lightbulb
One by one
And she was building brand new walls
To keep her safe and sound
Sometimes a place to live
Is just a place to hide
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
Well he was sparks and gasoline
All fire and command
The warmest comfort dies
In the coldest hands
And she was two steps from the edge
But holding on somehow
Even God himself couldn't blame her now
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
Now he's working on a plan
Learning to make her smile
Maybe a change of pace
Or a change of style
And she's walking across the wire
Holding a loaded gun
Hoping that what we feel
Ain't what we've become
One more year
One more year
Let's hold our breath
And give it just
One more year
The House That Never Was lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
1,2,1,2,3
Got no nails, in the floor
Got no hinges on the door
Empty frames on the walls
Ain't no ghost in the halls
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Got no dog, on the stair
Got no car, in the shed
Ain't no number, on the sign
Ain't no bird up on the power line
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Wind dont blow through the trees
No one comes and no one leaves
You can live anywhere
But it don't mean you're really there
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Yeah the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Got no nails, in the floor
Got no hinges on the door
Empty frames on the walls
Ain't no ghost in the halls
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Got no dog, on the stair
Got no car, in the shed
Ain't no number, on the sign
Ain't no bird up on the power line
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Wind dont blow through the trees
No one comes and no one leaves
You can live anywhere
But it don't mean you're really there
You can build with earth and stone
Make a place of your own
But the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Yeah the house that has no love
Is the house that never was
Wildflower lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
I'm a wildflower by the highway,
Up against the rain
I'm an old man, growing tired,
Getting used to the pain,
I'm a wildflower in a garden,
Tended everyday,
I'm an old dog, hard to love,
And even harder to change.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower by the streetlight
Where the night begins,
I'm an old house, barely breathing,
As the walls fall in.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower, and I'm an old man.
There's so much in between
And it's no time to be standing by
it's no time to be asking why
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't let you down,
Up against the rain
I'm an old man, growing tired,
Getting used to the pain,
I'm a wildflower in a garden,
Tended everyday,
I'm an old dog, hard to love,
And even harder to change.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower by the streetlight
Where the night begins,
I'm an old house, barely breathing,
As the walls fall in.
But it's no time to be slowing down,
It's no time to be turning 'round,
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't ever let you down,
I'm a wildflower, and I'm an old man.
There's so much in between
And it's no time to be standing by
it's no time to be asking why
You could blow a hole right through this town
If I don't let you down,
No One Hurts Up Here lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
No one cries up here
No one cries up here
Shed your burden out of your tear
No one cries up here
No one hurts up here
No one hurts up here
Sorrow fades and disappears
No one hurts up here
No one fails up here
No one fails up here
Have no worry, have no fear
No one fails up here
No one hurts up here
No one hurts up here
Raise your weary head my dear
No one hurts up here
No one cries up here
Shed your burden out of your tear
No one cries up here
No one hurts up here
No one hurts up here
Sorrow fades and disappears
No one hurts up here
No one fails up here
No one fails up here
Have no worry, have no fear
No one fails up here
No one hurts up here
No one hurts up here
Raise your weary head my dear
No one hurts up here
The Devil's Inside My Head lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
[K] I had a dream I was lost at sea,
Sorrow's cloud came down on me
Stranded out on a boat made of fire,
running on desire
[T] Lord have mercy on my every sin
Hold my head up while the water comes in
"Hallelujah", I heard you call
but no one came at all.
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] I had a dream I was crucified
hung my head as the town folk cry
I gave my life to save my soul
But the devil took them both
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] I had a dream I was in my grave
Made my way to the Pearly Gates
[K] Underneath opened up and I fell
[T] Down to the gates of Hell
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
Sorrow's cloud came down on me
Stranded out on a boat made of fire,
running on desire
[T] Lord have mercy on my every sin
Hold my head up while the water comes in
"Hallelujah", I heard you call
but no one came at all.
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] I had a dream I was crucified
hung my head as the town folk cry
I gave my life to save my soul
But the devil took them both
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] I had a dream I was in my grave
Made my way to the Pearly Gates
[K] Underneath opened up and I fell
[T] Down to the gates of Hell
Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
[T] Then I woke
In my bed
And I cried out
[K] The Devil's inside my head
Sleeping Cold lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
Will you rise or will you fall?
Will you walk or will you crawl?
Will you dream in black and white
When you're sleeping cold tonight?
Will you bend or will you break?
Will you give or will you take?
Will no angel shine no light?
And leave you sleeping cold tonight
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Will you stand or will you turn?
Will you teach or will you learn?
When your demons rise above
You'll be sleeping cold my love
Would you stay or would you leave?
Would you fail or would you believe?
Would you stand your ground and fight
When I'm sleeping cold tonight?
Would we know what's wrong or right
If we're sleeping cold tonight?
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Will you walk or will you crawl?
Will you dream in black and white
When you're sleeping cold tonight?
Will you bend or will you break?
Will you give or will you take?
Will no angel shine no light?
And leave you sleeping cold tonight
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Will you stand or will you turn?
Will you teach or will you learn?
When your demons rise above
You'll be sleeping cold my love
Would you stay or would you leave?
Would you fail or would you believe?
Would you stand your ground and fight
When I'm sleeping cold tonight?
Would we know what's wrong or right
If we're sleeping cold tonight?
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
Way o Way, way o way, o way o why

Whose gunna save you, now?
Jackson Hole lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
I'll trade those city lights and crowded sky's
Roll down Snake River with a box full of flies
Come on White Water make this old girl sing
And teach this young girl how to Western Swing
Life's gonna be better now Better in Jackson Hole
No California dreaming, anymore,
I'll put Wyoming out of my back Door
Life's gonna be better now Better in Jackson Hole
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Don't take no wedding ring, Don't set no Trap
We're chasing freedom at the end of the Map
Life's gonna be better now,
Better in Jackson Hole
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Life's gonna be better now
Better in Jackson Hole
Roll down Snake River with a box full of flies
Come on White Water make this old girl sing
And teach this young girl how to Western Swing
Life's gonna be better now Better in Jackson Hole
No California dreaming, anymore,
I'll put Wyoming out of my back Door
Life's gonna be better now Better in Jackson Hole
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Don't take no wedding ring, Don't set no Trap
We're chasing freedom at the end of the Map
Life's gonna be better now,
Better in Jackson Hole
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Get a little bit of Rise and fall
Life's gonna be better now
Better in Jackson Hole
Your Day Will Come lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
It's a long long way to home again,
Carryin' a heavy load.
Wake God's child before the dawn,
Pure as a pot o' gold.
And when you go to sleep at night,
Tell me whether demons come
And drag you down with both hands
To where it's hotter than the burnin' sun.
How far can you run?
When the darkness falls around me,
I can hear the wind blow.
Wailin' through the pine tree,
Ghost of a troubled soul.
Everything that goes around,
Comes around in time.
Don't wait on redemption,
It's never gonna take your side!
How long can you hide?
[fiddle solo]
Blackbird on a high wire,
Afraid of what he saw.
Named their only witness,
He won't sing any more.
And when you go to sleep at night,
Tell me whether demons come,
And drag your soul down below
How far can you run?
Soon your day will come!
Soon your day will come!
Carryin' a heavy load.
Wake God's child before the dawn,
Pure as a pot o' gold.
And when you go to sleep at night,
Tell me whether demons come
And drag you down with both hands
To where it's hotter than the burnin' sun.
How far can you run?
When the darkness falls around me,
I can hear the wind blow.
Wailin' through the pine tree,
Ghost of a troubled soul.
Everything that goes around,
Comes around in time.
Don't wait on redemption,
It's never gonna take your side!
How long can you hide?
[fiddle solo]
Blackbird on a high wire,
Afraid of what he saw.
Named their only witness,
He won't sing any more.
And when you go to sleep at night,
Tell me whether demons come,
And drag your soul down below
How far can you run?
Soon your day will come!
Soon your day will come!
Woe Is Mine lyrics - Kasey Chambers (with Shane Nicholson)
Oh, woe is mine
Oh, woe is mine
Dark days a-coming
Lord, woe is mine
Poor lonesome boy
Poor lonesome boy
Dark days a-coming
Oh, lonesome boy
Seen no guiding light
Seen no holy sign
Where's my Kingdom Come?
Oh, Lord woe is mine
One burning tear
One burning tear
Brought down a mountain
One burning tear
Poor lonesome boy
Poor lonesome boy
Bring down a mountain
Oh, lonesome boy
Seen no guiding light
Seen no holy sign
Where's my Kingdom Come?
Oh, Lord woe is mine
Ain't no saints in white
Ain't no bread of wine
Ain't no Kingdom Come
Oh, Lord woe is mine
Oh, woe is mine
Dark days a-coming
Lord, woe is mine
Poor lonesome boy
Poor lonesome boy
Dark days a-coming
Oh, lonesome boy
Seen no guiding light
Seen no holy sign
Where's my Kingdom Come?
Oh, Lord woe is mine
One burning tear
One burning tear
Brought down a mountain
One burning tear
Poor lonesome boy
Poor lonesome boy
Bring down a mountain
Oh, lonesome boy
Seen no guiding light
Seen no holy sign
Where's my Kingdom Come?
Oh, Lord woe is mine
Ain't no saints in white
Ain't no bread of wine
Ain't no Kingdom Come
Oh, Lord woe is mine
