Hex Criminals
Pancho 'n Lefty
Where he got the bread to go
Dust that Pancho bit down south
Nobody heard his dying words
Living on the road my friend
Gonna keep you free and clean
But that's the way it goes
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath as hard as kerosene
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
All the Federales say
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seemed
They could have had him any day
She began to cry
When you said goodbye
There ain't nobody knows
The day they laid ol Pancho low
They only let him slip away
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy
Out of kindness I suppose
His horse was fast
As polished steel
Lefty split for Ohio
Lefty -- he can't sing the blues
He wore his gun o'side his pants
For all the honest world to feel
All night long like he used to
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Drain Bamage
different tunes- I'll see
cloudbursts
thunder in your
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is in my head
Remembering
games and daisy
chains and laughs- Got to keep
ear- you shout and no one
You raise the blade- you make
the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
the change- you rearrange
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded
you on the dark side of the moon
seems to hear and if the band
me 'til I'm sane- You lock the
faces to the floor and every
day the paperboy brings more
door and throw away the key
And if the dam breaks open many
years too soon and if there is
you're in starts playing
There's someone in my head
no room upon the hill and if
your head explodes with dark
but it's not me- And if the
forebodings
too I'll see you
on the dark side of the moon
All's Hexed in Love and War
Lanette's Brothers in Arms
x- Brothers In Arms -x
But it's written inthe starlight
There's so many different worlds
These mist-covere
d mountains
Are a home now for me
So many different suns
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
And every line in your palm
And we have just one world
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
But we live in different ones
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms
x- Dire Straits -x
We are fools to make war
Now the sun's gone to hell
Thru these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
And the moon's riding high
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high
On our brothers in arms
Let me bid you farewell
And tho they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
Every man has to die
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
Silver
Simplicity's
Romance
Unless it trembled
with lyre and rhyme
With tumult as they thunder by
Romance who loves
To nod and sing
I have no time for idle cares
With drowsy head
And folded wing
To while away - forbidden things
Through gazing on
Among the green leaves
As they shake
the unquiet sky
Far down within
some shadowy lake
with the strings
My heart would feel
And when an hour
To me a painted paroquet
Hath been a most familiar bird
with calmer wings
Taught me my alphabet to say
To lisp my very earliest word
to be a crime
Its down upon my spirit flings
While in the wild wood I did lie
A child with a most knowing eye
That little time
Of late eternal Condor years
So shake the very Heaven on high
