Another Destination


"Inside"
Saw you in the rain
Or was that you dyin’ for a line, ‘nother line
Drownin’ in the street, broken past
With your love of God, yeah, yeah

Watch the Wheel, try to ease the pain
Evictin’ time, a cryin’ shame
Live the life of a stranger

Watch the fields, turn and fade away
Tainting light of future days
It’s alright, I’ve seen a stranger

Oh – Is it you or is it me
Inside those eyes

Fall into the drain
Searchin’ for those years that passed you by
Reasons why
Ever watched the endless sea or felt some fear
For your wasted time, yeah, yeah

Sacred words never heard
Again by fools walking that fine line
Their curse is silent danger

As the fight comes to an end
The darkness begins to fade
Will innocence pass through danger

Oh – Is it you or is it me
Inside those eyes I can see

"Resurrection Time"
I’ve walked down the road
That led me to a dead end
Talked into the eyes of many who weren’t there

I’ve heard so many lies
That I almost saw their truth

I’ve known a spirit wondering lonely
As he passed on through the room
We were talkin’ about the future

Fightin’ to begin
Another destination

Well, I held on as long as I could
So long, I’m leavin’ for good
Come on, step inside - it’s resurrection time
Time to unwind - resurrection time

I’ve tried to find an answer
For the ones out in the street
I’ve tried to see a reason
For the killing side of greed

We’re talkin’ about the future
To start it had to end
Final separation

Well, I held on as long as I could
So long, I’m leavin’ for good
Come on, step inside - it’s resurrection time
Time to unwind - resurrection time

So hard to find
Come on, step inside - time to unwind
Resurrection time

There’s someone out there calling
Trying to find a way
Need somethin’ to believe in
I know what I’m gonna do

"Strange Days"
Come a dealer with a bag full
He’s pushing from the corner of his eyes
What you can tell from the shine of his shoes

He’s working for the F.B.I.
Where there’s a cop on every corner
Yeah, he’s got an axe to grind

Waiting for some guitar playing, grass smoking, long hair
He’s got promotion on his mind

Strange days, Lord, Lord
Strange ways
Oh, strange ways

I’d like to know
What I’m supposed to do
No, it’s not for sale watchin’ you two

"Spirit World"
Love crimes in the spirit world are vague
Bad child is the force with you tonight
Faces change where the ceremony lies
Describe time and the feelings slept awake
Slept awake, flyin’ time

Took a wild ride on a white horse
Gonna lose your mind
It’s still runnin’
White horse, runnin’ wild

Never lose the fight around the circle
Join the light, electric skies
Past time in a desert storm of life

I see wicked minded women painted to be proud
Sign in chants, awaiting Mass, to the tune of ancient rhythms

A breeze through the tribe
Smell the burning
What salvation’s found
The fifth card reversed, which is worse

Took a wild ride on a white horse
Gonna lose your mind
It’s still runnin’
White horse, runnin’ wild

Never lose the fight
Around the circle
Join the light, electric skies

So rise, your life’s their ritual
When there’s dancin’ on the ground
Dance, child

Took a wild ride on a white horse
Gonna lose your mind
It’s still runnin’
White horse, runnin’ wild

Gonna loose your mind runnin’
I’ll meet you in the lost and found
Lost and found

"Whose Side Are You On"
Better off last Sunday morning on the other side
Which is right, I’ve left the meaning hidden from the cries
I wake up cold in the middle of the night
Wonderin’ why you’re not there

You were gone last Sunday morning
Well, I thought you cared

Bringin’ each other down
Over and over again
Maybe this time you’ll find yourself

Tell me
On whose side are you now

Better stop these voices creepin’ round outside your back
Bed of roses for the nails you driven off the track
Do you wake up cold in the middle of the night
Wonderin’ why I’m not there
Better off alive and thinkin’ of one day that I cared

Bringin’ each other down
Over and over again
Maybe this time you’ll find yourself

Tell me
On whose side are you now

Better off last Monday morning on the other side
Which is right, I’ve left the meaning hidden from the cries
I wake up cold in the middle of the night
Wonderin’ why you’re not there


Bringin’ each other down
Over and over again
On whose side are you now

Fools lie all around
You stole what you found
On whose side are you now

"Sunshine of Your Love"
It’s getting near dark
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you, my love
I’ll give you my dawn surprise

I’ll be with you darling soon
I’ll be with when the stars start falling

I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

I’m with you, my love
The light shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love

It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you till my seeds are dried up

’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love

I’m with you, my love
The light shining through on you
Yes, I’m with you my love

It’s the morning and just we two
I’ll stay with you darling now
I’ll stay with you till my seeds are dried up

And the trestle above our heads
Slice the sun into black and gold bars
That fell across our shiny backs
And shimmered like flat snakes on water

Get outta here
Looping the air, challenged
What’s with the August Red

"Catalina Sunset"
Instrumental

"Half Way Home"
It was a lonely night
Air was restless
More electric feelin’ in my soul
Tryin’ to shake the burnin’

I was losin’ the flight
The hangin’ on 9th St. callin’
The gang is losin’ control

Packed a little money
Started the bike
Headed away from the west side

If only for one night
Maybe the Lord will try to save me
Maybe time to listen
Got me goin’ crazy, but I’m leavin’

I’m gonna shake this ground I’m on
Nothin’s gonna break
This road I’ve led upon
Can’t stop this trip I’m on

I’m half way home
Half way gone

I’m tired and twisted
Such a long ride
Heard the boys are busted
Glad to be alive

Another day of ridin’
Hope I’ll see my girl
Hope she isn’t under
In someone else’s world

Headed for trouble
And I’m leavin’ it
Behind they’re seeing double
Ahead I’ll win the race

Dealer is a loser
Stealin’ is a shame
Bullets for the innocent
And I’m feelin’ the pain

"Healing Rays"
As I wait for a sign to come fallin’
Down on me from the sky
I’ve waited my life

Know you gotta wait for it
Know you gotta wait for the light
To come falling down with its healin’ rays

And I wait for a sign to come
Fallin’ down on me from the sky
I’ve waited all my life

"Jillana"
Instrumental
