I'm alright, I'm alright
Think I'm doing just fine.
Thanks for asking.
& the telephone rings
It's a stranger again
Said, "where have you been?"
In the lobby of the hotel, the painting got me blue
I'm in a room filled with balloons where friends share secrets, something like the truth
& I these had these recurring dreams that 'd follow me everywhere I go
All the nightmares in my closet came to life.
& They chased me down the hall to my parent's room...
They'd say, "Hold me, We'll fall asleep in the afternoon
& our garden speaks of the life we keep & groomed."
Well, the wine is sweet, makes us forget our parent's rooms
All I know is when my eyes close, I'll be living proof.
& the telephone rings....
It's a stranger again
Said, "How have you been?"
I'm alright, I'm alright
Think I'm doing just fine
Thanks for asking

Sinatra (Mexico Song)

I was a young boy in Mexico, watched my family die.
Taken by the tide, hot & blue & knives.
I got away in the family car, the backseat stained with blood
It was my sister's blood, she was my sister.
Freedom don't cost a thing a man said in some stripes.
Red, not blue & white, birds chained to the sky.
When I reached the borderline, thought I heard my father cry.
We were at the borderline, we were at the border.
& It was cold, it was cold that night.
We were sold, we were sold, no rights.
I was crucified under my father's word.
The sun sets over Hell bent land.
People close their eyes & rest their heads.
They kneel beside their beds
It's just a sacrament.
Oh, you can still repent, it's just a sacrament.
"Years can pass & you can learn not a Goddamn thing or you can change for the better."
I wrote these words on a train to Los Angeles in a letter.
Now the soil is right, don't let the flowers die.
Don't let the flowers die, don't blame the weather.
But it was cold, it was cold that night.
We were sold, we were sold, we were sold, no rights.
I think we paid the price, I think we paid the price.
I was crucified under my father's word.
I think we pay the price.
I think we all pay the price.
It was cold, It was cold that night.

Hold out your hands.
Out run the men.
Remained a ghost under sheets.
Hold on tight
Oh, here come the light
Forget all that was me.
But one by one we'll fall in love
One by one we'll fall
Run if you can if you are the lamb
There's a wolf in the trees
Said pray to your God
and kneel in the mud
Forget all that is we
But one by one we'll fall in love
One by one we'll fall

Nowhere

Well, the bad guys are in the courtyard
She's in the bedroom with the lights on
Where the guns lay, where the hounds sleep
& when the bells ring, the birds are singing..
"& Oh, that road it goes nowhere."
But that Hell, well now it behaves well sometimes..
When the sun rised, your eyes closed
Don't play dead, I won't be around though
In the morning, because when the bells ring,
the birds sing, "Was it all a dream..."
Oh we're on the road that goes nowhere
I don't mind it sometimes
& as long as you mean well, you've got a friend for life
Singin'
Where's your gun now?
Where's your gun?
