The Great Deceiver
CH:
Haven't you had enough?
I can't believe a word
It's one of us, it's both of us
The Great Deceiver.
V1:
I think I gave it all I had
Against the evening shadows in the promised land.
And though I dread it more and more
It's just a selfish shrine and it'll always remain.
CH.
V2:
Oh keep me King of Kings, they prayed
A sweeter song than lips could ever be sung.
CH.
Br:
Pinching bits of color
Hints at oak and stardust
No, it's not back-dated
But still can't validate it.
Solo.
V3:
Dramatic's never out of style
Arrival in the cold hard gaze of the chosen one.

The Plum Tree
Plum tree grows in a quiet place
Orchid's begging for luxury.
Hero standing straight, covered in frost
Lotus remains a beacon to the lost.
Bamboo forest of integrity
Stays modest even when it grows high.
The Pine on a ridge is noble and free
Ground to dust, the fragrance still the same.

All The Riches
All the riches never make you satisfied
Wishing for the bang, that's what nobody says
Ain't no better way to make it take so long
What's the matter with having the lights down low?
All the riches never make you satisfied
All the riches never make you satisfied.
Can't you walk a mile, walk a mile yourself?
Fool around, fumble with the microphone
Put the souveneir, put it back on the shelf
Bet your bottom dollar that you'll fall down too.
All the riches really got a hold on me
All the riches staring at me dead in the eyes.
Evil walking around with his eye on the throne
Speaking with bravado like it shouldn't be known
All the riches itching for the ladder climb
All the riches show you is a night on the town.
I don't work it, I don't work it, I don't say:
'A dull finish shines from all work and no play'
A mighty diamond waking up inside a stone
I doubt it'd even matter if the bottle flowed.
Asking for the powers of the darkest art
I don't recommend it for the faint of heart
All the riches said that they would not get me down
(But) All the riches left after an hour or so.
I don't want to know that you can flex for me too
I don't want to tell you you're a xenophobe
All the riches really got a hold of me now
All the riches really got a hold of me now
All the riches never make you satisfied
The dog treaty signed with a black cat bone.
The Level now is set up at an all-time low
All the riches never make you satisfied.
Quiver like DeNiro on the microphone
The only thing that's staying on the lips is foam
All the riches never make you satisfied
Ask him for some echo and some vibrato.

Long Night, Bright Lamp
V1:
Chasing it down, did you ever think about, think about it?
Done it before, So it's easy, get the door, what's the matter?
Startle yourself, just to make that move.
CH:
Long night, bright lamp
Long night, bright lamp.
V2:
Broken spoon, at the bottom of the Black Lagoon, shake your body
Extra salt, on the book that's overdue, shake your body
Open the door, let the light shine bright.
CH.
Br:
The odds are stacked up against you
Why is it always measured in inches?
V3:
Sucking it up, it's about the time to go, meet your maker
Watch me be late, to my dying bed.
CH.
V4:
Jackie Mittoo, in the Sound Dimension, got you dancing
Stand in the dark, don't forget to let me know, know the answer
Open the door, let the light shine bright.
CH.
V5:
Almost got, got the weakness in my knees, shake your body
Closing the door, make it imperceptible, bet you can't see
Open the door, let the light shine bright.
CH.
Br.
V6:
Seen it before, talked about it, made me cringe, shake your body
Open the door, let the light shine bright.

Oil & Water
V1:
Opened my eyes, opened the gate and,
This is what I saw:
A hidden fire, a trembling beast,
Covered up in palms.
Part of me just wanted to run, but,
I knew I had to stay.
'Baby baby, help me unravel'
This is what he said.
I could never ask for your sympathy, but
It's never far away.
CH:
It's like oil and water,
Same time and same place,
It comes on in waves.
V2:
Picking letters, picking the right path
Isn't really real.
Did I mention walking through fire?
It's really all the same.
Open ears, open heart, you can
Pick one or two.
Everybody's thinking out loud,
Let them have their say.
CH.
V3:
For every note, and every last breath,
There's a captive soul.
I'm ok if you want to take my name and just
Drag it through the mud.

All It Takes Is One
All it takes is one
All it takes is one
Hungry through and through
Feed me with your food
Melt my stony heart
All it takes is one
Every drip of blood
Every wish that's made
Solves death's mystery
Sharing all my load.
Be the friend who knows
Wise and full of love
All it takes is one.
Then you'll finally say
Look, oh man, it's here
All it takes is one.

The Dream Comes True
V1:
Once in the end of time again
A dream did come to me.
Summon the King, he's tired of me
But fearful just the same.
CH:
Whether or not you change the tune,
In darkness deep it lies.
Whether or not you say it's so,
The dream comes true.
V2:
As you watch, a rock is cut
But not by human hands.
Claiming to have the worst of luck,
It dazzled you and changed your plans.
CH.
V3:
Images of gold and fire dance,
Reflecting in your eyes.
Falling on your knees for second chance,
Flames are the jury now.
CH.

It's Only Make Believe
Promises are made up out of the coldness of a heart.
No one ever listens to what Mother Nature has to say.
It's only make believe
It's only make believe.
Half an hour is past, there's no confession on your lips.
It's only make believe
It makes me want to move
To the mystery tower.
It's only make believe.
This is how it goes, whenever chained to your regrets,
It's only make believe.

The Lotus On The Hill
CH:
The lotus on the hill
Brings deeper wisdom still
I'm sometimes up then down
But it always gets me found.
V1:
When I'm here, in the flesh
Don't let me down.
In the coolness of the evening
Lay me down,
On the banks of the River Jordan
Lay me down.
So quickly to judge!
CH.
V2:
Sat around, watching the moon
Drifting away
Don't let me down.
And then it hit me,
Like a spotlight in the night.
Help me darling, help me darling
Get me found,
Or I'll always be lost!
CH.

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB.
