Originally released on the WALKING PAPERS LP (All Hands Electric)

lyrics

Once it did appear you finally met your match
But with every lucky number there seems to be a catch
You cast your lot in life on a table that always turns
And now you're at the doctor getting treated for your burns

You might think I want an eye for an eye
But that's why you and I never saw eye to eye

A servant to your whims I was faithful as they come
But all that running around just left me feeling numb
You finally hit pay dirt on a bargain you couldn't refuse
But your triumphant eyes are cemented down with glue

You might think I want an eye for an eye
But that's why you and I never saw eye to eye

The gambler I've become is living by the roulette wheel
Clothes-lining the past with another shady deal
Descending to the maelstrom drowning in his drink
A lady on each arm ready to break his bank

You might think I want an eye for an eye
But that's why you and I never saw eye to eye

On a high horse you reside pausing to glance below
LIke a gargoyle on his tower watching the river flow
And down on the banks I'm fishing for a meal
Choking on the dust left from your clicking heels

You might think I want an eye for an eye
And that's why you and I never saw eye to eye

This is becoming one of my all-time favorite live albums. Outstanding setlist of some of her best songs, the band on point, and just a beautiful performance. jae

Rivers and Vessels
by Joan Shelley

The sweetness of the harmony and beauty of the tracks made me have to purchase this album. The vocals float like ethereal sprites with compelling warmness yet a certain captivating sadness as well. This is what Americana should sound like... this is what country should sound like... for it's so real and emotionally delivered... yet absolutely gorgeous. theexplodingogre
