Memphis Alley 03:56
lyrics

I went downtown to Memphis alley I saw shadows creeping here and there A figure emerged like from a dark valley He said, my name is Lucifer I came down here to take your soul I said what's your adjuration Said man lives not by bread alone The killer came down with vengeance The killer came down from above (The killer came down from above, yeah) I went downtown to Memphis alley I knew it was time for my reckoning He spoke of God and fire and fury and brimstone I saw the plagues of Egypt running through his eyes I said hello to the darkness Darkness said welcome home I said hello to the darkness Darkness said welcome home The killer came down with vengeance The killer came down from above (The killer came down from above, yeah, yeah) If you can't stand the bitterness, turn yourself to wine If you can't stand the bitterness, turn yourself to wine If you can't stand the bitterness, turn yourself to wine

Let You In 02:57

Like the water from a flash flood You appeared out of nowhere one September day A seduction in the house of the rising sun Was it I who cast a spell or did you sing me a siren song 3 am drunk you woke me up You shook me from my sleep so you could get yours girl And I let you in, I let you in, I always let you in Dandelions and roly polys made up our reveries Lost in the sheets where two become one no boundaries And you went out and got some in a moment of weakness I got flooded with my voices I couldn't speak, but I could scream Yeah it broke me up inside and it tore me apart I couldn't see it in the cards lying to myself so hard But I let you in, I let you in, I always let you in Dandelions and roly polys made up our reveries Lost in the sheets where two become one no boundaries It started out as a rosy story, but then came the thorns you see A love affair turned south, a painful mockery Dandelions and roly polys became vague memories A hot burning flame and a quick end to our story

Something's Missing 03:32
lyrics

We were strangers without fear Came from different hemispheres We'd been wounded in the same places, made the same stupid mistakes You were mine that night with the fireflies, girl But it wasn't enough Something's missing Ohh, something's missing And I don't know what it is or what it was We were strangers without fear, Then your company disappeared They all faded away, it was you and me On your balcony for the world to see. Passion took us into second gear, still no fear But it wasn't enough Something's missing Ohh, something's missing And I don't know what it is or what it was Ohh, something's missing And I don't know what it is or what it was And I wouldn't trade that night for ten thousand stars The night our galaxies collided And I wouldn't trade that night for ten thousand stars The night our galaxies collided
