Surge 03:01
You’re living in a single room At the wrong end of the avenue It’s not that I don’t believe in you But don’t come back I don’t want you to You can always find a pleasant stay Where something happens everyday Just me alone with the melody You can’t come back til I set you free You can’t come back til I set you free Sleepwalking through another day I got no hang-ups anyway I guess I’m fresh outta company I can’t find the surge or the energy Got spinning stars before my eyes Should really come as no surprise Just me alone with the melody You can’t come back til I set you free You can’t come back til I set you free You’re fading away

Teardrops keep falling straight outta my head I’ve run the river dry Winter keeps pouring my tears on rooftops Tears of frozen ice Old heart is broken as you fade to white-out I hang my head and sigh These teardrops keep falling straight outta my head Please hang my my blue sky high Teardrops keep falling straight outta my head I’ve run the river dry Memory broken your face disappearing But really don’t think twice Shine like a diamond and I’m tired of fighting You sat alone and cried These teardrops keep falling straight outta our head Please hang my my blue sky high

Melody waits Across the city’s telephones Melody waits Floats thru the air in tones Melody waits She says I’ll be the first to go Melody waits Says I don’t wanna die alone Melody waits It’s New York City in the snow Melody waits This house I’ll never call a home Melody waits Destroy the thing you love the most Melody waits Says I don’t wanna be a ghost Come hit on me You bolts of melody Yeah hit on me Bolts of melody

Autumn Leaf 03:30
You know I love you Well You know I just can’t tell Ten thousand miles away And in my mind You know I’ve drawn a line Realise so well That only time can tell And only time will tell You know I love you well You know a time will come Not always on the run Counting the times we fell And everyday I may get further away You know that time will tell If you are doing well Hope you are doing well You know I love you well Free will And only time will tell Sweetheart First autumn leaf that fell Free will I’m on my way to hell

Winter Girls 04:03
The summer has gone We’re back we begun And were we belong The branches are clawing the moon Special K I hear you’re flying away Don’t they know It feels so nice to be fond of you Double F Resting places unknown A thousand-fold goodnights Though I don’t sleep any more Conesuela Night-time star sailor Stars conspire To make me feel blue Sweet Dancing V What did we see As birds flew by The top window thru the rain The briefest hellos These slender goodbyes Tell me when Do I see you again

Oh babe How’d ya come to be mine? Did ya find me awaiting on time And feel inclined? So babe You showed no hesitation You came walking over And now it hurts to see you go You’re so fine I don’t know how you’re mine But o sweet daughter recline The churchbells chime So babe Y’know I don’t hardly know ya And you came walking over And now it hurts to see you go Oh babe How’d ya come to be mine? You just find me awaiting on time Our footsteps rhyme So babe I feel elevation You came walking over And now it hurts to see you go

Big Sur 03:27
The stars up above Are showering their sparks on me And you you you possess my soul now baby And you know that You own my heart Yes only you It’s all I know to go back to you Walk right back to you The thoughts in my head Are waging a war on what you said The truth truth truth determines everything baby And naturally You own my heart Yes only you It’s all I know to go back to you Walk right back to you The stars up above Are tearing strips off of me And when you’re far away Unconditionally You own my heart Yes only you It’s all I know to go back to you Walk right back to you

Champs 04:05
You don’t seem to wait for my promises You don’t wanna wait You say you’ve been waiting too long I can’t offer you my reasoning And I don’t wanna stop your path The look in your eyes is breaking my soul You don’t wanna wear my constellations It seems that the stars have long gone from your eyes I don’t wanna be an astronaut I just wanna be a happy man The look in your eyes is burning a hole You don’t seem to want for my promises You don’t wanna wait Say they ain’t ever come true The worlds offer me no comfort And as I slip into weightlessness The look in your eyes is breaking my soul I don’t wanna be an astronaut I just wanna be a happy man The look in your eyes is breaking my soul

End Credits 02:44
With the changing of the seasons Comes a change a change within the mind And a heart without a reason Isn’t hard to wonder why But it’s not our fortune It’s not our fortune With the changing of the seasons Comes a change a change within the mind And if I should e’er stop breathing You should know the reason why But it’s not our fortune It’s not our fortune If I should air stop breathing You should know the reason why

Oh my God What a mess You fell down the hill And tore your dress As the sun shines And the sun came shining today Oh my dear What a day You can almost forgive God his foibles Making hay While the sun shines And the sun was blinding today Oh my Lord What a year The Heavens have opened up on us Raining tears As the sun shines And the sun was burning today

about

"This is one of the strongest batches of songs Franklin has written in a while. Indeed, the combination of great vocals, guitar near-perfection, and powerful, emotionally gripping songs makes Spent Bullets one of the best albums Adam Franklin has been associated with." ALLMUSIC
