DARK MAN (for Mark Linkous and Vic Chesnutt)















Another dark man
Out in the jet stream
Another great plan
Another dark dream
Just ask his cell phone
Ask his advisers
When it’s all over
Who was the wiser?
Another dark man

They're coming over
They have the car keys
They have agendas
They are the enemy
Just ask his hangers on
Ask his baptizers
When its all over
Who was the wiser?
Another dark man

I barely knew him
It didn't take long
He was a mystery
Wrapped in a sad song
Just ask the howlin' wind
The dust that rises
When it’s all over baby
No one's the wiser
Another dark man

There goes the dark man
Out in the jet stream
One soul is touching down
Another leaving
There goes a dark man
There goes a dark man
There goes a dark man
Another dark man

GLITTER GIRL

















Help information I’m stuck in DC
I’m trying to find sweet Marie
Can’t send a letter since they went away
And I know it’s so late
I know it’s so late
I know it’s so late in the day

But I wanted to call you to say Glitter Girl
I’m living my life in your smile
And I wanted to call you to say little girl
I haven’t been clear for a while

I waited I wandered I struggled for years
You know that I cried bitter tears
Help me and help me I’m fading away
And I know that it’s late
I know that it’s late
I know that it’s late in the day

But I wanted to call you to say Glitter Girl
I’m living my life in your smile
And I wanted to come back to stay Glitter Girl
I haven’t been clear for a while

Hey information I’m stuck in DC
But I finally found sweet Marie
Take out those letters and throw them away
And I know it’s so late
I know it’s too late
She said it’s too late in the day

But I wanted to call you to say Glitter Girl
I’m living my life in your smile
And I wanted to come back to stay Glitter Girl
I haven’t been clear for a while

Give me a smile…
