Track 1: If I Die in My Dreams 
All lyrics and music: copyright Jezebel Jones (BMI) 2018, all rights reserved 

In my nightmares 
I’m falling over the balcony 
Or falling down stairs 
In my nightmares 
I can’t keep from falling 
Can’t keep from falling 
Ah-ah-ah 

In my nightmares 
Somebody’s pushing me right down those stairs 
In my nightmares 
Somebody’s shoving me over the balcony 
Nightmares 
The devil he cometh 
The devil he cometh 
Ah-ah-ah 

My nightmares 
Seldom occur in the dead of the night 
My nightmares 
Most often haunt me in broad daylight 
Nightmares 
Sometimes they catch me quite unaware 
With their velocity and ferocity 
And the devil is smiling and laughing at me 
Ha-ha-ha 

Track 2: Bye Bye Banshee 
All lyrics and music: copyright Jezebel Jones (BMI) 2018, all rights reserved 

Bye bye Banshee 
Have you any 
Tears for me, girl 
Before I leave this dark world 
Oh… 
Your tears are like pearls 

Weep and you wail 
For my demise 
Sorrowful tales 
Flow from your eyes 
Oh… 
They flow from your eyes 

Bye bye Banshee 
I’ll see you soon 
On the bright side 
Of this gilded moon 
Oh… 
Your tears are like pearls 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
You better cry for me, girl 

Phantom lady 
Cry for my doom 
Your ancient tears 
Shall be my tomb 
Oh… 
Your tears are like pearls 
Oh, oh, oh, oh 
You better cry for me, girl 

Bye bye Banshee 
Have you any 
Tears for me, girl 
Before I leave this dark world 

Track 3: Psychopomps 
All lyrics and music: copyright Jezebel Jones (BMI) 2018, all rights reserved 

Old souls surround me 
Carry me down, down the dustiest trail 

Grateful I am for their cool touch 
Thankful am I, they have given me much 

Old souls surround me 
Carry me down, down the dustiest trail 

No holy choir, no angelic refrain 
To quench my poor soul on this dusty trail 

Old souls whisper to me 
Carry me down, down the dustiest trail 

Sing me a song, of tooth and of nail 
Hands are outstretched for the holiest grail 

Old souls (grateful am I) 
Sing to me (for their cool touch) 
Carry me down (thankful I am) 
Down the dustiest trail (they have given me much) 
Grateful I am (old souls) 
I have few regrets (sing to me) 
Thankful I am (carry me down) 
As I lay down to rest (down the dustiest trail) 
On this dusty trail 

Track 4: Skull Rattles 
All lyrics and music: copyright Jezebel Jones (BMI) 2018, all rights reserved 

Skull rattles, gray matter don’t matter no more 
You were my temporary condition, my temporary home 
Flesh sings so softly, melting away 
Slowing succumbing, becoming decay 

Bones rattle, gray matter surrenders to bone 
Flesh becomes sustenance, gray matters no more 
This shell was my sorrow, my joy, a temporary home 
Slowing succumbing, becoming no more 

Flesh sings so softly, melting away 
Slowly succumbing, becoming decay 
Slowly succumbing, becoming decay 

Skull rattles, gray matter don’t matter no more…
