Rotten thoughts all in your head
Cold light shine, pale and dead
Come clean out your cluttered brain
any old way that you can
Wash it away, that was night, this is day
Six windows to create anew
Six to let the light shine thru
Intention you can always choose
a golden gift you won't lost
through this world made for to confuse
Come clean out your cluttered head
any old way that you can
Wash it away, that was night, this is day
Six windows to create anew
Six to let the light shine thru

1000 Dreams
04:29
|
|||
I was surely told your love is a curse
but to do without is 1000 times worse
Out in the snow, some propped up scarecrow
Come the sun I'm heading South
with 1000 dreams I could do without
I was surely told your love is a curse
I would wake before the day, I would be the first
to shiver and to shake, to wait by your front gate
come the sun across your face...
1000 dreams that I could trace
I was surely told codeine is a curse
but to do without is 1000 times worse
Struck a golden vein, then 40 days of rain
Come the sun I'm heading South
with 1000 dreams I could do without

Mr. Chesty
05:05
|
|||
Though cabinets and cupboards, closed attics and the like
Down crooked crumbling alleyways of cloud covered night
I searched the high, I searched the low, not sure what I'd find
but hoping I would know when comes some sort of sign.
"A cloud was on the mind of men and wailing went the weather"
Yes Mr. Chesterton, now I'm feeling better
"A cloud was one the mind of men..."
Yes Mr. Chesterton, now I'm feeling better
If I was left a wreck, bent body and mind
The dreams I've had, purest gold
So I will hope that what a man hopes for
in the end is really what that man is worth.

I'm Cured
06:32
|
|||
Oh my dear, nothing on my mind
no train coming down this line
I know no feeling could feels so fine
Oh my dear, please don't say a word
when all things seem absurd
I got nothing left, want nothing more
I'm cured
Little wonder this is how I feel
you keep giving more than I could steal
the sun must rise in the morning and we all gonna deal
Oh my dear, please don't say a word
when all things seem absurd
I got nothing left, want nothing more
I'm cured

Yesterday's Blowin' Back
05:05
|
|||
All your dark thoughts, they bring the storm
my head's a house, I'll keep it warm
The doos's been swung wide, I let you in
You're kicking holes on the way out again
The Desert Wind, all burning black
Yesterday's blowin' back
I know right and I know wrong
and I know it's time you were gone.
From some sick fever dream come the shifting sands
I want back my lost land
'till crooked places all be made straight
I can bend I can wait
The Desert Wind, all burning black
Yesterday's blowin' back
I know right and I know wrong
and I know it's time you were gone.
Not having time I could stay lost,
now I'm wanted where and at what cost..

One More Toll Taker
02:52
|
|||
One more toll taker up on the borderland
truth be told I don't understand
Is this the beginning of the end
I use to call you a good friend
One more toll taker up on my state line
truth be told it's my peace of mind
they know not what they do nor whom they do it for
and everyday they want more
One more toll taker up on the borderland
truth be told your holding sand
I know how it slips through the tightest fist
I am the one you will miss

Burn the Here and Now
05:18
|
|||
There's a path through the field beyond my old home
The house may still stand, the field is gone
Memory's a fire to burn the here and now
A house we build tall just to be burnt down
So I'm holding on to what I know is true
I'm holding to the truth in you
I'm holding on to you
Out past the town where lamplight goes thin
Stars can shine where dark begins
Souls are tuned to burn within
the night rolling past
perfect while it lasts
Words rearrange what I don't want to change
I'm holding on to what I know is true
I'm holding to the truth in you
I'm holding on to you
Memory's a fire to burn the here and now

All Torn Up
05:01
|
|||
Salome, you got me torn
I'm lost before your fine form
the stars shone bright upon the night you were born
Salome, I'm torn apart
my head not with my heart
from ages past until the last you'll play your part
Your creation's spark.
a haunting in the dark
Salome, I'm torn in two
half of me wants only you
we build up walls. you cut right through
Salome, I'm torn apart
my head not with my heart
from ages past until the last you'll play your part
Your creation's spark.
a haunting in the dark
the best I've yet
a knife to our neck

In the Thicket
02:57
|
|||
You don't know what to do
a prison of all view
now your caught, no room left to move
another point to prove,
a thicket of all view
I've seen doubt in all you call to be true
Your self so defined
by all you call mine
a tie that won't unbind, you keep trying
another point to prove,
a thicket of all view
I've seen doubt in all you call to be true
As true as it may seem,
as true as it can be,
no great truth top set you free.
Past the western wall,
past the prison wall,
talk comes slow if it all.

Wicked kings stand before towers tall
they look to the sky for fire to fall
copper is restless 'till it turns to gold
Some burn fast to keep from the cold,
I'm sitting here watching a slow day unfold
Bald headed vultures, black feathered crows
digging around for all they feel they owed
copper is restless 'till it turns to gold
With the Infinite howling out in the cold
I'm sitting here watching a slow day unfold

This Song is Over
09:37
|
|||
Like two rivers running to the sea
we'll both get where we need to be
only your going downhill faster than me.
Don't look back girl I'm already gone
This song is over... you sang it wrong
We were lost to the sea, tossed up, shipwrecked,
but I needed no one else, I was content.
With my head to your breast I slept, I woke to find you'd left,
Don't look back girl I'm already gone
This song is over... you sang it wrong
I wanted you as lover
I wanted you as friend
I wanted you and no other
until the bitter end

Dead Meadow Los Angeles, California
Dead Meadow formed in 1998 in Washington DC, coming together to fuse their love of Led Zeppelin and Sabbath style riffs with the local punk and DIY aesthetic of their hometown. They became early pioneers of what would become the modern psychedelic rock scene and over the years have created a niche that only they can fill. ... more
