No Hand Was At The Wheel

the darkest day of the year
and my heart is on the rail
the darkest day of the year
and whose hand is at the wheel
whose hand's at the wheel
who will tell 'em what has happened
out here beyond the dawn
out here beyond the horizon
who will tell 'em that you're gone
oh, the breaking sigh
no answer in the mystery
once you held me helpless
once it mighta been
cold was sharp across the high desert
you and me in the secrets
once it must have been
not only my heart on the rail
once it must have been
no hand was at the wheel
that no hand was at the wheel

I wanna feel better
Can you make me feel better
I wanna win races
Can you let me win races
I'll save you a seat at the tea party
I wanna write poetry
But can you write it for me
I wanna eat crayfishes
But I don't have the money
I wanna let it all go
Hold on to it for me
I'll save you a seat at the tea party

You're a sad little part of my life
Oh, I know
I wish that you were bigger
& you make me want to stay in my dreams
longer and longer and longer and longer
There's a devil creeping up on me
Gonna use my soul for kindling and timber
& His voice is like a tambourine
Ringing underwater in the winter
I wanna hear the alcohol in my mouth
I've forgotten more songs than I remember
But if I live a couple decades more
I'm sure I'll wish that I'm a couple decades younger
There's a devil creeping up on me
Gonna use my soul for kindling and timber
& His voice is like a tambourine
Ringing underwater in the winter
ain't the greatest gals born on a
ain't the greatest gals born on a December
ain't the greatest gals born on a
ain't the greatest gals born on a December
There's a devil creeping up on me
Gonna use my soul for kindling and timber
& His voice is like a tambourine
Ringing underwater in the winter
I've written songs about Louisianne
Though I ain't never been to America
And I don't even have a flag
And I'm scared of guns, but I've got a bumper sticker
There's a devil creeping up on me
Gonna use my soul for kindling and timber
& His voice is like a tambourine
Ringing underwater in the winter
I'll be swimming in your pockets (high harmony)
I'll be in your brain, twirling all the dials
I'll be swimming in your pockets (high harmony)
I'll be in your brain, twirling all the dials
There's a devil creeping up on me
Gonna use my soul for kindling and timber
& His voice is like a tambourine
Ringing underwater in the winter
I feel like a shitty hotel
my knives are damp
and my food's been there for ages
well my dumbwaiter ain't much but it's mine
but my bookshelves are like animal cages

You Used The Wrong Your

Write me 'till the sun comes up
Write me 'till the sun goes down again
Everything is going so well
And then you used the wrong your

Why don't you try driving backwards on the road
with your dog at the wheel and one eye closed
I'm gonna drink more liquor than you
But it's not because I'm scared of life
I once gave my friend a fright
Because he didn't realise I was in the house
Sarahlee I had a black eye
Talking to you on the phone last night
Invest in a man and invest in a child
Invest in it all before it's all too late
Ain't nothing complete 'till you write it down
You remember like the heart of the tired old sea
Luckily I left my bible in the car
Or things might have turned out a lot different
Stare at the clouds and hold me hard
When we both wake up in the middle of the night
