Ghost Town Well

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
He tripped and fell / down in the ghost town well
He screamed he yelled / he cried and cried for help
He howled in pain / but no one came, no one came

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
Did well in school / and always walked straight home
He loved a girl / a girl named sarah malone
He missed her so much / down in the well, all alone

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

I'm dying
Someone help me please.

The story goes / the girl turned 10 years old
It was her birthday / so the boy set out on his own
He knew she liked jewels / but there weren't any in town
But he knew there were some / in the well in old ghost town

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

He thought of love and he thought of sarah
He thought of love and he thought of sarah
He thought of love and he thought of sarah
And then yelled out his love

The story goes / the boy was 9 years old
He tripped and fell / down in the ghost town well
His love for sarah / boiled over and explode
It rang out a sound / heard for miles around

He shouted Why?
Someone help me please.

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

I'm down in the ghost town well
Down in the well
Down in the ghost town well
Down in the well

Calypso

calypso gods tempt me in dance
my tired eyes in liquor's romance
fail to see what's in front of me
your shadow meanders through the fire i see
and when the fire goes out
alone with you i'll be

your wine is dark and seductively warm
your body's fluid, amoebic in form
twisting and turning are the dreams in my head
reflecting the uncomfortable size of my lonely bed
and when you come tonight
it'll feel as if these words were never said

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

on many a star i have cast this burden
to cure me of my addictions uncertain
why does my body ache for a substance i'll never consume
it's trail i refind in the scent of your perfume
and god it smells so good
and leads straight into your room

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

The color of your eyes is lost
as my soul celebrates its pentacost
my world is on fire
and this holiday's adorned
for this new love is born

"don't leave me"
you're contradicting
"oh at last i have found a love
that will last for good"

"don't leave me"
Don't leave me?
Don't leave me,
I've got to leave you first.
