Fell from the sky, a light appeared
Couldn’t be more bright couldn’t be more clear
No cgi, no camera lens
Just a couple of men with paper and a pen
Now the king will wear a crown
Spread the news from town to town
Insert the coin and pull the lever down
Jackpot you hit the 7's again
Better go tell all your friends
Cause if you don’t you might lose what you win
Oh Texas why did it fall through
And what did you leave me after I left you
Could you hear me cry over the Pinto screech
Just a little baby boy buckled in a car seat
Flying down the 45
Didn’t even say goodbye
We buried and we burned the past alive
I followed where my father drove
My father followed the dove
The dove followed the father
But no one knows where to go
Where you’re born and where you’re from
They are two different things
Making a list of the pros and cons
Threw all my clothes on the bed at once
Afraid of being misunderstood
They say perfection is the enemy of good
Where you’re born and where you’re from
They are two different things

Road tripping through America
And that’s how we fell in love
Bills spilling outta my bell bottom jeans
Always had enough
10 Cadillac’s in the dirt
And that’s where we left our mark
Even if those polaroids fade
They left a mark on us
Life was in cruise control
When you were driving stick
6 cd's in the trunk of my Civic
Take your pick
Hot Fuss, Turn On The Bright Lights, a melancholy mix
LIFTED Or The Story’s in the Soil
Is This It
Don't let go of me
Baby don't give up on me
We're gonna win the lottery
See you on the silver screen
Don't let go of me
Baby please stay on my team
You're a star in my history
You're a star in my every dream
Green ring on your ring finger
Gotta roll the dice
Even though we love thrift shopping
Now we don’t have a choice
Day drunk and skipping lunch
Put it all on black
Give me five more minutes at the roulette table
I can win it back
I’m singing out oh you know
You’re always gonna have enough of my love
And everywhere you go you know
You’re always gonna have enough of my love
Don't let go of me
Baby don't give up on me
We already won the lottery
Saw you on the silver screen
Don't let go of me
Baby please stay on my team
You're a star in my history
You're a star in my every dream

Held the guitar like a sword
You wore the full armor
As you led us in song and into battle
It was always war that you were hoping for
Killing me softly
You put a spell on me
Killy me softly
You were the one who put the fear of hell in me
I fled the ranch as it went up in flames
And I found myself at Heaven's Gate
In Nike's on a bed I laid
With a mouth full of barbiturates
Just waiting for my great escape
My spaceship never came

It’s that time again
Pick a flower and stick it with a pin
But don’t prick my skin
When you put it on my jacket
Enough blood has been shed
You wanna live in Paris
I wanna live in Paris, Texas
Remember Lyric Street
Can we still walk the cat back
Try to walk the cat back
Are you tired of me
Or are you tired of yourself lately
And your loyalty
Cause it never pays off, never gives you what you need now
The old laundry mat
Tore it all down it’s a liquor store now
But I don’t mind that
Still give em' all my quarters, here take all my quarters
Drink till I’m mean
In the morning I’m a different person
Never say sorry
Just stick to my guns and sticking to my story
2004, that’s how I still end all my passwords
Was the year we swore for bad or for worse
Can we put it in reverse now
Maybe just press pause
Nothing’s gonna be like the way it ever was
And that’s not what we want
Wasn’t broke so we broke it, never to repeat it
You cut bangs again
That’s the way that I’ll always see you
Switch it up on a whim
You’re a song with many verses
Song without a chorus
One finger salute
Two birds in a sky of blue
Here’s looking at you, kid
Walk back the cat
Can we still walk the cat back
Then I got a backpack
Filled it up with peonies
Took it on a hike into the middle of the Pyrenees
You ask for a water bottle and a little Power Bar
Open up the satchel, it was filled with flowers y'all
He was mad at me but didn't seem to be surprised
I thought we were in a place where we didn't even need supplies
I know you're allergic to the petals and the stems
Just like shellfish, yeah I know I'm selfish
Try to use my cell but it's down
Kinda how your face looks these days when I come around
I did a great job of putting you in the background
Do you wanna be a guest star, how does that sound
Should we make a break for the top of the hill
Or should we take a little break and maybe try to chill
Get a little breather
Walk it back down
No, I don't have amnesia, I just really need ya, yeah

Jesse finish up your shift drink
The night is young cause it’s the morning
Pull up in your truck
I call shotgun
Who else is gonna join the party
Jerome, Khalif and Erik Satie
Dancing in the nude
Full heart, full moon
You should quit your job you deserve it all
Bright minds like yours are dying
Quit your job you deserve it all
Bright nights like these are shining
Neon glow inside the kitchen
You are the stuff of science fiction
Joker turns to queen
Liquor turns to green
Sobered up and found the real thing
Is better than the stuff i’m dreaming
Fire in your hand, my alien
You should quit your job you deserve it all
Bright minds like yours are dying
Quit your job you deserve it all
Bright nights like these are shining
Keeping us sick, keeping us chained
Keeping us medicated not to feel any pain
Like two longhorns in the rain
But I saw you free in a crystal ball
And looking back on the future when you had it all
The powers that be were dissolved
Trying to live, trying to live not trying to die
If death came a knockin' I don't believe that we would hide
But you make it fun, you are the only one
I found a bright side to the way we survive
It’s these gold plated handcuffs keep you by my side
Keeping us sick, keeping us chained
Keeping us medicated for to work through the pain
Like two longhorns in the rain
You should quit your job you deserve it all
Bright minds like yours are dying
Quit your job you deserve it all
Bright nights like these are shining

I was cool crushing on my friend
Gushing over him
His cowboy hat soaked in the rain
Gold heart that matched his chain
I was cool crushing on that girl
Gushing over her
She wore a silver septum ring
Gold heart that made me sing
I was cool crushing on that girl
Filling up my world
She saw the things you used to see
When you loved me patiently
I was cool crushing on that boy
Filling up the void
He said the things you used to say
When you wanted me to stay
Call it what you want to
Baby look me in the eye
Falling in love’s easy
We don’t even have to try
Who baby baby who baby baby who
Who does it for you baby baby you baby baby you
It’s you baby baby you baby baby you
With your pinball eyes lookin all around
At the beautiful babies running all over town
I ain’t worried I ain’t worried you should like what you see
Ain’t worried I ain’t worried I’m the one that you need

You could be anyone with a backpack full of pins
They’d settle for anyone, as long as it was pink or blue
You don’t need anyone to reveal what’s in your heart
You’re more than just anyone
You’re a light in the dark
You’re a national park
Seven wonders of the world
They forgot about my girl
You’re a light in the dark
You are not a lone star
Never underestimate
A bluebonnet in a red state
You could be anyone in a floral dress and docs
You’re free to be anyone
Skip and hop the line in chalk
You’re a light in the dark
You’re a national park
Seven wonders of the world
They forgot about my girl
You’re a light in the dark
You are not a lone star
Never underestimate
A bluebonnet in a red state
Feeling the earth beneath us sweat
And both of our jeans are soaking wet
Waiting for one more star to die so we can live
Your head in the clouds my space cadet
In front of the moon your silhouette
Waiting for one more star to die so we can live
Feeling the earth beneath us sweat
And both of our jeans are soaking wet
Waiting for one more star to die so we can live
Your head in the clouds my space cadet
In front of the moon your silhouette
Waiting for one more star to die so we can live
Feeling the earth beneath us sweat
And both of our jeans are soaking wet
Waiting for one more star to die so we can live
Waiting, waiting, you know I'm just waiting
Waiting for a star
Waiting
