words and music by c.jeely except "No One Knows I'm Gone" by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan ------------------------------- King Alcohol once i was so tall, thought that i knew everything then i met king alcohol, lord he brought me to my knees everyday i woke up, prayed that i would die started drinking early, just to open up my eyes as i sat drinking late, tried shaking out the fear yet i knew this was my fate, i knew the end was near lord i know it's coming, im gonna be cut down i'm tired of all this running, i'll drink till i drown yet the lord he was waiting, will walk on water before i drown reached over towards king alcohol, and he pulled off that crown ------------------------------- No One Knows I'm Gone hell above and heaven below, all the trees are gone the rain makes such a lovely sound, to those who are six feet underground the leaves will bury every year and no one knows i am gone live me golden tell me dark, hide from graveyard John the moon is full here every night and i can bathe here in his light the leaves will bury every year and no one knows i am gone ------------------------------- Bended Knee Blues remember when we were young, and said we'd never become our mothers anxious talk, our fathers desperate wall look at yrself and see, look at yrself honestly tell me who and what you are, behind that desperate wall remember when we were young, and said we'd never become a dreamer who always slept, a heart full of regret all our days are gray, as long as we stay in ourselves behind the wall, with our anxious talk remember when we were young, and we said that the sun would never set on our dreams, but we're all talk it seems bend the knees of our soul, as we grow old we know its better to die, than have never tried -------------------------------
