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…
