Candle In the Wind [3/12/98; Elton John]

Seems to me like you've lived your life like a candle in the wind.
Never knowin' who to cling to when rain...when the rain...
And it seems to me like you've lived your life like a candle in the wind.
Never knowin' who to cling to when the rain set in...

Comeback Again (Why do you?) [4/8/92; Improv]

Where did you go when you went here?
Where did you go? They don't remember.
What did you see while you worked here?
Why don't you go...don't you go back there?
Where did you go when you came here?
What did you see? Do you remember?
Why don't you care to make changes?
Why do you bother to comeback, back again?
To comeback again? Why do you comeback?
T-to comeback again?
Again...[5x]

What did you see when you came here?
What did you do? Do you remember?
Why can't you change when you got those problems?
Why even bother coming back, back, back, back again?
Yeah...don't come on back...
Come back again...yeah...
Don't, don't you come back...
Come back...don't come...

(We try to make something up every night,
And that was it ladies and gentlemen.
State of Love and Trust...)

Cornerstore [Improv]

There's gotta be more...[2X]
Than just this house...
The cornerstore...

I see you...I see the world...
One of these days I'll take you there girl...

I swear I'll get outside of here...
You hold my hand like you care...
You hold my hand if you dare...
There's gotta be more than this house...
In the corner store...

Crazy Mary [Victoria Williams]

She lived on a curve in the road, in an old tar-paper shack,
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks.
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say,
"Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side.
Wild eyed, crazy Mary.

Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place.
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side,
Said 'No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed'.
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd.

Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around. [3X]

One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill.
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills.
Looked down into the house of Mary.
Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls,
And Mary rising up above it all.

Next morning on the way into town,
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary.

That what you fear the most could meet you halfway... [2X]
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around. [3X]

Crossroads [Bad Radio]

[Lyrics from Crossroads: The Unofficial Bad Radio Website]

I am young, but I will fight
I am young, oh, yet I refuse

Crossroads
This is my language
Leave me to my own

I've said
(away, away, away) (x2)

I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
(away, away, away)

I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
Oh, sing it, sing it
Crossroads
This is my language
They lead me to my own

(away, away, away)

Oh, I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away, yeah
I said I've come a long way to my messiah
I said don't lead me away
Please, please, please
Crossroads
This is my language
Oooh, lead me to my own
I say

Whiteeman stand
Top of a mountain
Wearing emotions
That I'll never wear
