Eighteen years in the cold, dark tunnel alone Eighteen years, I can feel it right down to my bones eighteen years in my birdcage on patrol Canary in the coalmine, everybody outta the hole Watching all the work pass, breathing in the rock filled air Choking on the black smoke, why don't you seem to care I'll save you if you follow me, listen to me, please, I swear Canary in the coalmine, and I'm gonna do my share The air's gettin' thin now, I'm feeling kinda strange today Hasn't anybody noticed, is everybody doing okay I think it's time to turn tail, hit your knees, and start to pray Canary in the coalmine, get yourself outta the fray The mine's filled up with this sleepy kind of reverie seeing stars and color bars, what is this devilry? The workers are safe, won't nobody come and save me Canary in the coalmine, warning you soundlessly Canary in the coalmine, warning you soundlessly Canary in the coalmine, warning you sound asleep

Cheer Up 02:27
Pick up your chin Show me that grin Don't you be sad now Give it a minute Now dance around Make me that sound This is getting good and I no Longer feel afraid Why, you sound down Turn yourself around Why, you sound down Cheer up See me from afar There across the bar Seeing you and me inside Balloons above my head Let's run away What do you say Let's spend the day as us and Leave it all behind Why, you sound down Turn yourself around Why, you sound down Cheer up

Johnny, get your gun now You're gonna have to hold your ground Johnny, get your gun now You're gonna have to take 'em down He's gonna shoot me (x4) Johnny, get your gun I know you didn't wanna go this road Johnny, get your gun and Get you startin' praying for your soul He's gonna shoot me (x4) He's gonna shoot me (x4)

Moonshine 03:06
Far above the bottom of the sea Like a boat adrift I'm in between Lost on waves among the tragedy But there's a light We're saved tonight In the moonshine, it's divine High above my head I see a face Smiling down at me from distant space Lead me on with wisdom and with grace I'll hold on tight through the night In the moonshine, we are fine In the moonshine, it's divine

Heavenly 03:19
1. Wipe away your tears Bring your banjo and your Bible Come follow me Its' the start of the revival 2. Rest your weary eyes You have made it through the storm This won't hurt a bit It was all completely normal 3. Take off the crown How'd your heart grow cold and hardened Make me your home Welcome back into the garden Morning comes And the darkness fades away Sun shines warm This new life is here to stay No more harm, no more want Heavenly This is love New hearts and new spirits Redeem me Sustain me Make me a home
