The Lucky One

Walking from the bus stop
Couldn't wait to get off
I know I'll be the lucky one

Walking through the twilight
Cold Nevada twilight
I know I am the lucky one

On the wheels
On the tabletop
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

Standing on the corner
If I could find a dollar
I know I'd be the lucky one

Standing in the last light
Artificial daylight
I know I am the lucky one

On the wheels
On the tabletop
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

On the wheels
On the tabletops
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

Walking to the bus stop
Couldn't wait to get on
I know I am the lucky one

Walking through the twilight
Cold Nevada starlight
I know I am the lucky one


The Death of Stars

At the edge
High above the rocks
At the edge of nothing
It was just a game
They couldn't stop

She was young
Her arm up in the wind
Where the sea is crashing louder than the beginning

He's going down (x3)

She loved the death of stars
Guilty tears on blue ink
He tore the clouds apart
As she burned her letters in the garden last night

They're alone
In this abandoned room
Lit by a candle
Kept for a storm
That never came

Save me

We can hide
And laugh though we're afraid
Though that ghoul is haunted by a star who couldn't get away

He's going down (x3)

She loved the death of stars
Guilty tears on blue ink
He tore the clouds apart
As she burned her letters in the garden last night

As she burned her letters in the garden last night

At the edge
High above the rocks
At the edge of nothing
It was just a game
They couldn't stop

Save me (x8)

For a Lost Key

Wasn't lost
Coudn't get back
Due to my forgetfulness

In the woods
Between my ears
Read the words I love best

Hit my head in the dark
Know I heard you laughing
Wallking round with a match
But I was all alone

Looking for a lost key
Take my heart out to the girl
Throw my voice around the world
Cause she's the real candy

Touch her name
Once so sweet
Call her up, she won't be seen

I was not
About to cry
I'm alone, and I know why

Hid my face in my hands
Did I see your number
Stop fooling around
No it doesn't matter

Looking for a lost key
Take my heart out to the girl
Throw my voice around the world
Cause she's the real candy

Hit my head in the dark
I know I heard you laughing
Stop fooling around
But I was all alone

Looking for a lost key
Hold me up into your hand
Trace the walk and ask the man
Cause she's the real candy

Looking for a lost key
Throw my heart out to the girl
Take my voice around the world
Cause she's the real candy


Caroline

By the song in my head
I would swear that you were really here
Was that you down on the stairs
Little wonder that I never knew

Caroline, Caroline
Were you born to rule my mind
Or did you fall from the moon
When I turned out the lights

I was counting the cars
On Insomnia Avenue
In the neon so clear
Little wonder were you really here

Caroline, Caroline
With the sadness of another time
Caroline, Caroline
Why are you standing by the Do Not sign

From my head to my room
I was looking like a dirty mirror
In the neon so blue
Little wonder were youreally here

Caroline, Caroline
Did you stop to see the sign
Or were you left in the rain
When you stumbled on a broken life

Caroline, Caroline
Were you born to rule my mind
Or did you fall from the moon
When I turned out the lights


Wichita Lineman
(Jimmy Webb)

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main roads
Searchin' in the sun for another overload
I hear you singin' in the wires
I can hear you thru the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
If it snows that stretch down South
Will never take the strain
And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

And I need you more than want you
And I want you for all time
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line



The Lucky One (Demo)

Walking from the bus stop
Couldn't wait to get off
I know I'll be the lucky one

Walking through the twilight
Cold Nevada starlight
I know I am the lucky one

On the wheels
On the tabletops
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

Standing on the sidewalk
If I could find a quarter
I know I'd be the lucky one

Standing in the last light
Artificial daylight
I know I am the lucky one

On the wheels
On the tabletop
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

On the wheels
On the tabletops
On the handles with my shirt off
On the floor
On my heels again
I know I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm . . .

Standing on the sidewalk
If I could find a quarter
I know I'd be the lucky one

Walking through the twilight
Cold Nevada twilight
I know I am the lucky one

*Freedy explained to the audience at a show I attended that he wrote the song after a trip to Vegas; while there, he saw truck drivers playing the slot machines with their shirts off. Hence, this line. He remarked that most listeners couldn't be expected to get it, that it needed a footnote. Accomplished.
