Dutch Cassidy


This life is like a rodeo
We're just a couple of clowns
Pretending to be cowboys waving
Guitars around

We'll play the old saloon
You'll chase that skirt
We got out heads in the clouds
And our feet in the dirt

We got deaths to die
Lives to live
We got tales to tell
We got songs to sing
I wish all my songs were more like his
You be Dutch Cassidy
I can be the Sundance Kid

This life is like a circus
We live for moonlight and crowds
We live on peanuts and praise
And beer to wash it down

You taught me 'bout the sideshow
And you let me hang around
Our heads are up there with the ferris wheel
Our feet are on the ground

All my life I felt like a
Setting sun
All the dust I kicked up with my boots
Just settled on my lungs
For every setting sun a morning comes
Rising like a ghost
From the bones of dusk

So pour me out another
I ain't ready to go home
I got a few more in me
So let that tape roll

And if we never make no money
At least we'd never have sold out
Just a couple of cowboys
Waving these guitars around

Laying On The Edge Of Forever

I swear I see galaxies forming
Shining from the blacks of your eyes
We got something between us I can't explain
But it sure feels nice
Baby, I think I love you and it's only been a night
Baby, I think I love you and it's only been a night

We got the smell of each other on the bedsheets
Clothes strewn across the floor
My heart's skipping beats like
It's never kept a rhythm before
We got streetlights reflecting off the mirror
Landing like moonlight on the bed
We got a night's-worth of sweat and a
Life's-worth of dreams in our heads
It's like we're laying on the edge of forever and I ain't even scared
It's like we're laying on the edge of forever and I ain't even scared

There's condensation on the window pane
Keeping the whole world out with just a mist
As we lay I trace the lines on your hands
With my fingertips
My body feels completely exhausted
But I don't want to rest
I want one more beautiful smile
One more kiss
I don't know a thing about love but I'm pretty sure this is it
I don't know a thing about love but I'm pretty sure this is it

Don't talk to me about tomorrow morning
I know it's coming 'round
I'm racking my brains thinking of ways
To make the Sun stay down
And don't you dare bring me coffee in the morning
Wearing my shirt and nothing else
'Cos that sounds like Heaven and men like me
Don't handle Heaven so well
For every second spent in Heaven there's a minute in Hell
For every second spent in Heaven there's a minute in Hell

So leave your number on my dresser
I promise never to call
I'll put it with all the others
In the back of my drawer
And I'll go out again tomorrow evening
Probably still a little sore
I can't even tell you what it is
That I'm looking for
But I found it with you like I found it with 100 before
I found it with you like I found it with 100 before

Deep, Dark Love


We only went out to get coffee, but I went and set you off
You're screaming blue murder like you're gonna burst a lung
Now everybody's watching you tear a hole in me
But ain't nobody know how sweet you can be

All my friends tell me to walk away
And I know all your friends tell you the same

If our love is like a freight train, we're both tied to the tracks
I know you need a hero well I need one just as bad
If our love is like a river, I'm gon' let it fill my lungs
'Cos I wouldn't mind drowning if it felt like love

All my friends tell me to walk away
And I know all your friends tell you the same
But ain't nobody know what it's like in this love
In this deep, dark love

So hit me with you hardest, go on make this one hurt
'Cos it ain't nothing more than we deserve
Then come over here and hold me like you won't ever let go
And I'll show you a love that nobody else will know

It's like our souls have shared a thousand lives
All my flaws in yours and yours in mine
But ain't nobody know what it's like in this love
In this deep, dark love

I know I should drink less and you know you should too
But if you forgive me baby I'll forgive you
