I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
With hands in the air you look like the girl at the fare with the bubbly eyes.
stonewashed shoe pulling at a rock but the rock don't compromise,
come up to me say why are you so skinny and pretty for a boy?,
said thanks for the insults and compliments
you'll never forget my face no more
i can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you.
so I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
city ought to take you,
it would take a little second to break you
so I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows.
looking pretty keen sitting on a swing,
That don't mean a thing at all,
heals on my feet,
are barking like a pack of dogs,
siccin' on a coon in a stall.
Take it for your word,
take it for a ride,
take it for the evening dead or alive,
warming up the car packing as the pilots play.
I can't hardly reach you and i know it's getting harder to be you,
so I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
city ought to take you,
it would take a little second to break you,
so I'll be dropping you where nobody knows,
I'll be dropping you where nobody knows......... Jessica........
Head like a stone,
stoned like a rock,
clogging' up your nose again,
Papa's a searching,
devil is a knocking,
chills running' up my skin,
Well I got
What she wants
Ah her nose
A tied knot
I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
Well she got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
She got
What I want
And she knows
What I'm not
And I got one mile to go
On down the road
On down the road
She sang:
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Whooooooo
Running with the street lights
Laughing at the grave
He swears he's gonna give it up
It's never gonna be enough
I just wanna be there
When you're all alone
Thinking about a better day
When you had it in your bones
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
I see you in the evening
Sitting on your throne
You're playing with a fireball
And post it up against the wall
I just wanna hold you
Take you by your hand
And tell you that you're good enough
And tell you that it's gonna be tough
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
'Cause I ain't got a home
Running from the streetlights
Shining on her grave
Once you had the good stuff
Never gonna fill you up
I wanna be the one who
Gives them my world
And gives them all the feeling of it
Just a little taste of it
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
'Cause I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
'Cause I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No, I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
Ruth B. draws, we're fixin' to get high
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs
And find ourselves the same old rum
But everybody says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same, this town is pitiful
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well, they've all got their share
Spiral Staircase goin' down,
Paint your body red and brown,
On our knees, we'll feast on tha sex show.
Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!
Greasy haircuts, a German Chinese girl,
Is gone keep ya'll busy, tuggin' at my curl,
A get your ass together,
You better walk, walk, walk, a by walking, we cannot run!
A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,
It gets frus-ta-ratin', a just a pissin' on this wall,
Seems like there's another story bangin',
Around every step you fake.
Spiral Staircase goin' down,
Paint your body red and brown,
On our knees, we'll feast on a sex show.
Spiral Staircase! Spiral Staircase!
A they all came to party, and there's four to every stall,
It gets frus-ta-ratin', a just a pissin' on this wall,
Seems like there's another story bangin',
Slow night so long, she's frenching out the flavor
She's seventeen but I done went an plum forgot it
No tears are gone, they're pooling on the table
No tears are gone, they're leaving their mark behind
So far so good she's absolutely wasted
She's hanging up and changing her story around
I just don't know where leading ladies come from
I just don't know where they can be found
She's opened up just like she really knows me
I hate her face but enjoy the company
I'll take you home or back to Oklahoma
You're not so nice but sex sells so cheap
Rise and shine all you gold digging mothers
Are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
Rise and shine all you gold digging mothers
Are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
Rise and shine all you gold digging mothers
Are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking
You, your sex is on fire
The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying
You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest
You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire
Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
So i could call you baby, i could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of your spanish tongue that made me wanna stay
Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody mary breakfast breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
Said i could call you baby, i could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her spanish tongue that made me wanna stay
I could call you baby, i could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high I don't want to come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I've found
In the dark of the night I could hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if you're ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Born to run, baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind in my back I don't ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me were the best of friends from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself boy away you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
Paleness of the old moonlight everything just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
You know you could've been a wonder
Takin' your circus to the sky
You couldn't take it on the tight rope
No you had to take it on the side
You always like it undercover
Tucked in between your dirty sheets
But no one's even done nuttin' to ya
And I'm between the hollers and the screams
And I said nah nah, hey hey
Another dirty bird, ain't givin' out a taste
Well, in the black of the night till the red morning light
You got your cozy little corner
All night you're jammin' on your feet
Hangin' out just like a street sign
And put a twenty dollar trick
I hear you're blowin' like a feather
And then they rub it in your face
Oh, once they've had all their fun, hun
You're at the bottom of the cage
And I said nah nah, hey hey
Another dirty bird, ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah, hey hey
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
Hey hey, another dirty bird, ain't givin' out a taste
Uh hey, keep on givin' away and givin' it away
Hey hey, you're givin' all your cinnamon away
Hey hey, you're givin' all your cinnamon away
And I said nah nah, hey hey
Another dirty bird, ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah, hey hey
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
That's not right
And I said nah nah, hey hey
Another dirty bird, ain't giving out a taste
In the black of the night till the red morning light
And I said nah nah, hey hey
You're givin' all your cinnamon away
A single book of matches
Gonna burn what's standing in the way
Running down the mountain
Now they're calling on the fire brigade
Carry out the pictures
And tell the kids that I'm okay
If'n I'm forgotten
You'll remember me 'fore today
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
All the black inside me
Is slowly seeping from the bone
Everything I cherish
Is slowly dying, or it's gone
Little shaking babies
And drunkards seem to all agree
Once the show gets started
It's bound to be a sight to see
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't wanna be here holding on
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
Watch her run
Can you feel it?
Watch her run
Can you feel it?
Watch her run
Can you feel it?
Watch her run
Can you feel it?
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't wanna be here holding on
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
(Verse 1)
I got a razor sharp mind
That wants to cut you down
A little place in mind
Maybe I could bed you down
Pony up we got a ways to go
Set me up my friend
I'm running low
(Verse 2)
Oh if you take my hand I'm gonna get you outta here
The crash of bottles breaking and the swinging chandelier
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight coming and watched her go
(Outro)
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight come and I watched her go
Yeah I watched her go
I watched her...
I watched her go
I walk you home to see
Where you're living around
And I know this place
Pour yourself on me
And you know I'm the one
That you won't forget
And in your denim eyes
I see something's awry
And I see you're weak
When he comes around
I see you're fixing to shine
And my face won't speak
Hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, "You call that a pickup truck?"
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
A kicking, screaming and rolling around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh
Trembling misery and it's cold as a hole
Hug your bones and skin
Crackling wood's gone white
And my eyes swelled up now
I can see the light
Hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, "You call that a pickup truck?"
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
A kicking, screaming and rolling around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh
Just so you know, oh
Just so you know, oh
I hate to be so emotional
I didn't mean to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, "You call that a pickup truck?"
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
A kicking, screaming and rolling around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh
She said call me now baby, I'd come running
She said call me now baby, I'd come running
If you call me now baby, I'd come running
I'm on call to be there, one and all to be there
When I fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there waiting to be there, to be there
I'm on call to be there, one and all to be there
When I fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there waiting
I'm gon' brawl, so be there, one for all I'll be there
When they fall to pieces, no I don't know
I'll be there laughing
I'd come a-running
I'd come a-running
I'd come a-running
To be there, to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I gotta notion to say what doesn't feel right
Got an answer in your story today
It gave me a sign that didn't feel right
So don't knock it, don't knock it
You've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it
You've been here before
I just wanted to know if I could go home
Been rambling day after day
And everyone says I don't know
So don't knock it, don't knock it
You've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it

How many souls will it take
How many necks will you break
I say, give me the bucket I'll wait
In that little old shed
I say, hey, I'm sold from afar
But you don't try me
I showed you my cars
But I don't drive
Let me get away
On a holiday
We could, tire the ones we know
Gonna tie right on
I say, hey, I'm sold from afar
But you don't try me
I showed you my cars
But I don't drive
Tell the idiot yeah
Running down my back
We could, see the devils in town
Smoke till the sun goes down
I say, hey, I'm sold from afar
But you don't try me
I showed you my cars
But I don't drive
I said, hey, I'm taken aback
Like you don't know
You blow me away
When you don't try
Let me get away
On a holiday
We could, tire the ones we know
Gonna tie right on
I say, hey, I'm sold from afar
But you don't try me
I showed you my cars
But I don't drive
I said, hey, I'm taken aback
Like you don't know
You blow me away
It?s changing all to yellow and it?s carving a path
So now we?re on our way
It?s taking us on journeys
While we wipe away frowns amongst the crowded place
Say why you never call me? No, you never seem to call me
Now that I?m okay
I?ll beat you in the end
And every time you turn around, here comes the coming of age
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
I cock and load my mergers when you question my mood
'Cause you ain?t got no taste
You talking 'bout my baby
I could flip him upside down and I could mop his place
Say why you never saw me? No, you never seen my calling
Right in front your face
I smoke you in the end
And don?t you ever turn around 'cause here's that coming of age
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, oh
Oh, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
Oh, she saw my party, she saw my party
I like to dance all night, summons the day
But that's how I play, yeah that's how I play
I said who are you? Don't matter who you are
So we dance all night and dance all day
I say, I say
We're gonna fuel the fire, gonna stoke it up
We're gonna sip this wine and pass the cup
Who needs avenues, who needs reservoirs
Gonna show this town how to kiss these stars
I say, I say
We're gonna hunt to kill, gonna skin the hide
A yelp and scream and away I ride
And every drop that spills on every plot of ground
It's all for you for what you found
I say, I say
I say, I say
It's gonna take your head
And gonna drive you home
It's gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
And then forever roam
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coup De Ville
She's buckled up on Navy
She don't care what her momma says
No, she's gonna have my baby
Taking all I have to take
This takin' is gonna shape me
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
And the doctor says he don't know
Where we gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go? Where we're gonna go?
People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like taking on this town
'Cause people's getting lazy
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
And her daddy says he don't know
Where we gonna go?
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we gonna go? Where we gonna go?
Where we gonna go? Where we gonna go?
Where we gonna
People call us renegades
We like taking on this town
And I don't care if you don't win
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coup De Ville
She's buckled up on Navy
She don't care what her mama said
No, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take
He's so the purity, a shaven and a mourning
And standing on a pigeon toe, in his disarray
Straight in the picture pose, he's coming around to meet you
And screaming like a battle cry, it's more if I stay
Me and you're cold, driving in the snow
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
How dare you come to me like with nail for a favor?
Hold on not my fairy tale you're trying to start
Take off your overcoat, you're staying for the weekend
And swaying like a smokey gray, a drink in the park
Me and you're cold, driving in the snow
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Cowgirl king of the rodeo, let the good times roll
Let the good times roll, good time to roll on
Good time to roll on
Good time to roll on
Good time to roll on
The open road, the path of greatness
It's at your fingers
Go be the one that keeps on fighting
Go be the stranger
Just put your foot in front' the other
Crow like the rooster
We are allowed to get us something
Free as a danger
I say
Spinnin on the streets of stars
And ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
The windows are
The perfect picture
Theyre always changin
Go on get lost
Jump in the waters
when they are raging
Spinnin on the streets of stars
And ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
'Fore you're gone
Spinnin on the streets of stars
And ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes (X2)
Conversation, Mississippi related, he's searching for the softball diamond.
Prancin' like a bad ass who never seen a church house, another jolly face in the choir.
He's reaching and a kissin her mouth
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes (X2)
Screamin' at the cousin that never gets no lovin', the hairy monkeys covered tonight. Falling over tables, a black eye with no way home.And pouting underneath the street lights.
He's reaching and a kissin her mouth
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes (X2)
And no-one seems to like it out loud
On my way, so it seems, blooming flowers waltz before me
Rollin' numbers, passing time, got to get outside the city
In the morning all will see, just how crazy young love can be
On our own away again, don't get down my darlin'
I'm gonna tangle my face hair, it's gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the mornin', they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window I'm on your street
Miles away, so unclear, almost lost it in Montana
Lets pull over, have us a choke
I love to watch you when your dancin'
I wonder if they ever dream, they would get just what we gave them
All wrapped up in feel 19, chasin' stars that are fallin'
I'm gonna tangle my face hair, it's gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the mornin', they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window I'm on your street
When that train heads home
They're gonna be so gone gone, you ain't never gonna see me
I'm a gone gone, you ain't nothin' to me
When they shine them streets, they're gonna find our song
I'm gonna tangle my face hair, it's gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the mornin', they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window I'm on your street
I'm gonna tangle my face hair, it's gonna tickle your daughter
3 o'clock and the mornin', they all cry to me
I'll be prancin' around in my high heels and your cherry red lipstick
Look out your window I'm on your street
Come on [Incomprehensible]
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
I'm on your
I'm on your street, they all cry to me
Everybody wants to be a showman
Yeah, they all got another one
Everybody thinks they got a genius
Everybody got me on the run
Sometimes I think they come here
Just so you can say that you can
And I can't get alone in my bathroom
I need to give myself a hand
Y'all cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'
Creepin' underneath my skin
Fuck you and your flashbulbs
Snappin' my picture again
You just stole my whiskey
You stole all my smoke
And you're crowded all around me
Like I got nowhere to go
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill, time for you to go
I'ma gon' spill, it ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no
You keep stickin' to me like a prickly porcupine
You're gettin' your information from the grocery checkout line
Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession
'Cause I was only messin' and I had a little time
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill, time for you to go
I'ma gon' spill, it ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill, time for you to go
I'ma gon' spill, it ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here, no, no, no, no, no, no
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill, time for you to go
I'ma gon' spill, it ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
Home grown
Back to the rhythm and back to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can't play with me
And all the bros
Try for the girls and try for tearing this tight clothes
She got a hiding all he has is his asshole
She'll be bothering me
And her hair do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh, yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see
Now take me down
Don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
Don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound on me here
All of London sing
'Cause England swings the extra love the tales I bring
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the king
The king they want to see
Home grown
So rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
You can't play with me here
And her hair do
He knows the lipstick kisses, oh, yeah that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who's moving you
The only one you see
All of London sing
'Cause England swings the extra love the tales I bring
You know the rainy days they ain't so bad when you're the king
The king they want to see
Toss me a breath when you hold me down
Hot like a razor on my face
Somethings growing that don't help me now
Paging the doctor just in case
Low and behold things are killing me
Silly expectation of a dream
Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair
Boys are gonna hate the way I seem
Day old, day old, day old

Peach Christmas lights spitting German ling
Feels like a fast or homeless sleep
At least there's a record that I love to play
Dreaming about a place I'll never see
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues
Day old, day old, day old

Betty, Betty, Annie is a praying
Baby with a man like a lung
Smell her crying fighting back a fever
Mad as hell give up
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues
You fault, my pride
dont ever need to 'pologize.
As your lips, unfold
shaken purple from the cold.
You better learn to crawl,
you better learn to crawl.
Before i walk away,
before i walk away.
You broke, my mouth
the bloody bits are spittin out.
Is your grave, unscathed
the worm is countin down the days.
He wants to see you crawl,
he wants to see you crawl.
Before i walk away,
before i walk away.
The reds, the whites and abused
the crucified USA.
As their hypocrisy unfolds,
oh hell is truly on its way.
As the rat, and the fly
they're searchin for an alibi.
As we await, the wrath
they never went to sunday mass.
They want to see us crawl,
they want to see us crawl.
Before they walk away,
before they walk away.
The reds, the whites and abused
the crucified USA.
As the hypocrisy unfolds,
I'm on the corner waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know that you're alone
It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound
Told me you love me, that I'd never die alone
Hand over your heart, let's go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I've always been known to cross lines
I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I've always been scared of the sound
Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load
I'm too young to feel this old
Here's to you, here's to me
On to us, nobody knows
Nobody sees, nobody but me
Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold, she took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of vein showing no mercy I do it again,
Open up your eye, you keep on crying baby, I?ll bleed you dry
Skies they blink at me, I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You shimmy shook my bone leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me? Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep?
Feel so good but I'm old, 2000 years of chasing's taking its toll
And it?s coming closer
And it?s coming closer
And it?s coming closer
hang your weary head you seem defeated
like the little girl you've been with cheated
and then the conversation had to go too far
now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart
so dry your lilly eyes don't be so cruel
using, aw, you know it's meant for fools
see you're smoking up in the parking lot
shake your little butt and show 'em what you got
?? hot and the men all want and the chase is on ??
now your flag is flying in the dark and cold
so dry your lilly eyes don't be so cruel
using, aw, you know it's meant for fools
this is a celebration
there's something in the air
a little celebration
there's something in the air
aaaiiyy
are ya'll giving up? don't want to know now
and everybody sees everybody in your town
oh, and the smalltown girl she went and got a bar
she gonna shake it off she gonna give 'em what she's got
so dry your lilly eyes dont be so cruel
using aw you know, i said it's meant for fools
this is a celebration
there's something in the air
a little celebration
there's something in the air
this is a celebration
there's something in the air
a little celebration
there's something in the air
My cold, cold, sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't to proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
From runways to the road, I ramble alone
This thumbnail sized of a heart is black as coal
Your beauty, it still brings me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me
Those preppy boys in blue, that make fun of us
So we take it to the streets 'cause we want to be cussed
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to come around with the tumbleweed
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, now get her, go get her
Don't take these boots off me when you're thinking I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person 'till my dying day
I try so awful hard, but I can't change
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I know I'm picking up speed
Don't leave no smell on me, don't leave no
Degrade me, my purpose
Bury me beneath the surface
I'm scratching, I'm clawing
Trying hard to make them pay
Can't stand me, beside me
Kid you not, your kiss sured kill me
The cold of my burrow
Never sees the light of day
Call me, call me
You could only hurt the story
Call me, call me
I'll be there to shine a light
The swell of the speakers
Sweaty ballroom dancing fever
They gather, in numbers
Elbows for a closer view
The cease fire the weaker
Hair so red I couldn't keep her
The dogs hound the neighbors
Everything was blown away
Machines, machines
Point me to the nearest party
You'll see, you'll see
Baby it's the only way
Call me, call me
You could only
Call me, call me
I'll be there
Machines, machines
Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're gonna spit on the rivals
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
Fighting for survival
Underneath the stars
Where we parked the cars
Ain't showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls
Naked to their curves
Ready to lay in a coffin
If you wanna go, I'm gonna go
I got a fire burning
Go on take my hand
When we see the band
Baby's gonna be a big one, oh yeah
Baby's gonna be a big one
When you see the lights
And we hear the fights
It's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm gonna call a runner
I don't wanna say what I have to say
Babe I'm a' kicking off now
If you wanna go, I'm gonna go
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
If you wanna go
I'm going back down south now
Come on take my hand
I'm going back down south now
When you see the light
And we hear those fights
I'm going back down south now
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
I'm going back down south now
Now taste
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
So hold on to surrender
She shakes
Like I'm on a railway
Checking me out
Someone on a shoulder
Her lamp
Slippers in her bedroom
She must feel it's awkward
Oh, I said it's Arizona
Now go stand up to a giant
Said that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to
Shake hands, my face
Standin' on a treadmill
Tastin' something awful
I hate when that happens
She waits in and out of Texas
She must be plum crazy
I kinda think I like her
I kinda think I do
Oh, she's only 17
Wind and wind and wound up over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the scene
Brothers frightened and when's a baby gonna sleep
Hidden ship that sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's the tick of our time and the tick in her hair
That made me feel so strange
So I could call you baby, I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh, it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
That made me want to stay
Oh, she's only 17
Wind and wind and wound up over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the scene
Brothers frightened when's a baby gonna sleep
Hidden ship that sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's the tick of our time and the tick in her hair
That made me feel so strange
So I could call you baby, I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh, it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
That made me want to stay
I could call you baby, I could call you dammit
It's a one in a million
Oh, it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue
Dusty and you are, dirty from chain
Lips of your kisses are sticking like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I'll cut you some flowers, now don't be afraid
Now don't be afraid
(Chorus)
I'm looking for something, just sink in my teeth without any crying
But I can't find no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap and love is divine
Home by the river, tall grassy fields, oh under a willow , well for to kneel
Dusty O Dusty, this is your night, don't be so pretty, all laced up in white, all laced up in white
(Repeat Chorus 3x)
Where thrills are cheap, and love's divine (3x)
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
Ruth B. draws we're fixin' to get high
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum
But everybody says this place is beautiful
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly
Life goes by on a Talihina sky
The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time
Aha shake, taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake, bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake, black as night on a Sunday
Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make-up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher
Heartbreak knockin' 'em down like the seventh grade
Heartbreak, cigarettes and song with a winter's chafe
Heartbreak keep like my daughter and a run away
Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make-up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher
Aha shake, tapered jean girl kills me
Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make-up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher
Spiral Staircase
Spiral staircase going down, paint your body red and brown

Slow night so long, she's frenching out the flavour
she's 17 but i done went and plum forgot it
No tears are gone they're pooling on the table
no tears are gone they're leaving their mark behind
So far so good she's absolutely wasted
she's handing up and changing her story around
I just don't know where leading ladies come from
I just don't know where they can be found
She's opened up just like she really knows me
I hate her face, but enjoy the company
I'll take you home, or back to Oklahoma
You're not so nice, but the sex sells so cheap
rise and shine all you gold-diggin' mothers
are you too good to tango with the poor, poor boys
On the plane
On the plane
Off to see the city girls again
Only bringing what to carry on
So that you know I won't be long
Drippin beards as cold as hell
And the motherfuckers gonna go to jail
Honestly I can see
the giggling virgin overlookin me
Time to put together what they say
although it wouldn't matter anyway
drippin beards as cold as hell
and the motherfuckers gonna go to jail
This rememo is set for home
its personal but they need to know
I'm overdue another round
To gain control and take me down
You're all tied up as you should be
And I'll be cutting out naturally
Drippin beards as cold as jail
And the motherfuckers gonna go to hell
Little Mona Lisa laying by my side
"Crimson and Clover" pullin' overtime
I feel too close to be losin' touch
By givin' in, what am I givin' up
Am I losin' way too much
California waiting
Every little thing's gotta be just right
While you're tryin' to save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
I'm goin' so fast that I can't slow down
It's hard to get up when you're spinnin' round and round
I'd give you the news but nothin's changed
I'd sing you a song but they blew it away
All wrapped up in this stupid ass game
California waiting
Every little thing's gotta be just right
While you're tryin' to save me
Can I get back my lonely life?
California waiting
Every little thing's gotta be just right
While you're tryin' to save me

My darling you look lovely
I've come to lay you down
Uncover your head and submit to me
We'll make a joyful sound
I don't care if you're by yourself
Or you're all alone when you need my help
Keep that smile on your pretty face
Cause you don't have much I can't take away
[Chorus:]
Don't you worry baby
You won't feel a thing
Close your eyes

But I can't come inside
I'll be out back in my white Cadillac
Won't you join me for a ride
We'll go up to the mountain top
There I'll show all the goods I got
Don't look back keep your eyes ahead
This could be the night that the moon goes red
[Repeat Chorus]

You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
(Un)less you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

Look at the shakies
what's with the blush?
fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk, your japanese scream
It's been too long since i've left the shed
You kick the bucket, I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die, but old is the grave

Huffman dont take no nonsense,
he's here to rectify
He's got his black belt buckle,
and the red man's fire in his eye
You with ure switchblade posse,
I'll get my guns from the south
we'll take to the yard like a cockfight
four kicks whose strutting now.
This party is overrated
but there aint shit else to do,
she's a lovin on the boy from the city
i'll be lovin him under my shoe
(x2)You with ure switchblade posse,
I'll get my guns from the south
we'll take to the yard like a cockfight
four kicks whose strutting now.
She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
I'm makin eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packin her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away
So cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it goes, no it go go go
She look so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, go go go
I brought my fight next to her Camaro
And when I fire on a smile then she blows, she blows
Everybody wants to be a showman
Yeah they all got another one
Everybody thinks they got a genius
Everybody got me on the run
Sometimes I think they come here
Just so you can say that you can
And I can't get alone in my bathroom
I need to give myself a hand
Ya'll cuh-cuh-cuh-creepin'
Creepin' underneath my skin
Fuck you and your flashbulbs
Snappin' my picture again
You drank all my whiskey
You stole all my smoke
And you're crowded all around me
Like I got nowhere to go
Eyes are gonna roll back
I'm here to kill
Time for you to go
I'm-a-gon' spill
It ain't yo fast train
I'll be the king runnin' near the wheel
I ain't lookin' to make no deals here no
You keep stickin' to me like a prickly porcupine
You're gettin' your information from the grocery checkout line
Are you through confessin' of your little girl obsession
Dusty and you are, dirty from chain
Lips of your kisses are sticking like tape
Woke you at sunrise, cold as a grave
I'll cut you some flowers, now don't be afraid
Now don't be afraid
I'm looking for something, just sink in my teeth without any crying
But I can't find no place or nothing, where thrills are cheap and love is divine
Home by the river, tall grass and fields, pond of willow oak, well for to kneel
Dusty O Dusty, decision night, don't be so pretty, all laced up in white, all laced up in white
ove the days
She's gone for the moment
I don't know which way she was going
Lord, it's been
A long warm November
I know now
She acts like her mother
I've been holding on
Here forever
And I don't know where she's gone
But hopefully
She knows not to come back now
CHORUS:
Kick in the door get on the floor
Went on a woman crying (Woo Hoo)
Somethin' to kiss the night away
When I'm taking back that (Woo Hoo)
Baby, you know that I can hold my own
When I'm feeling (Woo Hoo)
Baby, you know, that I could just sail away
Gone away
So gone in the moment
Still couldn't tell
Which way she was going
Shaping up
And growing right on me
Taking my advice
Like a father
I've been holding on
Here forever
And I don't know where she's going
But hopefully
She knows not to turn around
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
She's going to cry when the storm comes
And it'll come, and it'll come, and it'll come
Still she says, "Can't get none".
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
She's going to cry when the storm comes
And it'll come, and it'll come, and it'll come
In your little white wicker chair
Unsuspicious nobody cares for you
You�re so fucked up again
You laugh at nothin� in the pouring rain
Try to tell yourself you�re not insane
You fool, I hate you sometimes
Hey, you know it ain�t coincidental that you�re lost in place
It�s drippin� off your face, and you�re losin� your precious mind
Send me a postcard if you get that far
You got a couple pennies in your rusty jar
The truth you�ve been gone for awhile
It�s hard lookin� at you when you look that way
With your one night stands and your sleep all days
Ooh you�re such a slut sometimes
Hey, you know it ain�t coincidental that you�re lost in place
It�s drippin� off your face, and you�re losin� your precious mind
Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Start in on your story and I'll go
Walking like you're stuck in velvet snow
Glowing 'cuz you're sweatin' on our floor
Glowing 'cuz you're sweatin' on our floor
Dancing like you'll never dance no more
Glowing 'cuz you're sweating on our floor
Then you go and when you go
You get to going way too fast and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights 'cuz she's a-coming to fight
And then she'll go
Death row smoking gettin' to your face
Death row smoking gettin' to your face
Showin' off your something shaved and lac, see
Death row smoking gettin' to your face
Then you go and when you go
You get to going way too fast and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights 'cuz she's a-coming to fight
And then she'll go
And then you go and when you go
You get to going way too fast and I'm so slow
Turn out the lights 'cuz she's a-coming to fight
And then she'll go
Little Jo she warned me not to call you
Stoked that you were carrying some bad news
Leave it up to me and I'll just drown you
Out into the city where you came from
I want in like a substitute
I've been workin' awful hard for you
But you don't say
You just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet
She's a cold one and it hurts me so
It's a dark path and a heck of a toll
And she could kill me just like she did before
We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
Pushing and pulling weight
It's a hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man, it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face
'Cos we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile so far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh 'til we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie
And people say our babies are wandering this town
And people say our babies are wandering this town
And people say our babies are just wandering around
And people say our babies, they're walking..
We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh 'til we cried
Making up songs
And making me lie
Dirty belly of a secret town
Cheap trick hookers that are hanging out at the bar in the Greyhound station
And the bare-chested boys are going down on every thing that the momma believes
Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, help you feel not so strange
Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."
"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, cause all tied to the chair."
I said, "Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten."
All the bubbas got their heads in a nod,
they don't know what they love or deserve to get
Chances are they tab their worm in a slab,
doesn't even know which fish that he like to bite tonight, ah tonight, tonight, tonight
Ah maybe tonight
Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."
"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, hands all tied to the chair."
I said, "Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a tranny on a ten."
Comes home on call, isn't that peace,
fingers in the dirt, and he's spitting out his teeth
He's spitting out his teeth
Hard times as we go, we know what times will change
I talked to Jesus, Jesus says I'm okay
Pushin' and jumpin', jumpin' the mountain range
And in a railroad, railroad from hell to Maine
While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin' on the phone
Sneakin' on the stake of clam
Awful sick and tired of the gang
She comes from nothing
Hopin' for a taste of fame
She's got a birthmark
A birthmark the shape of Maine
While she says she's on her own
I'll be pacin' on the phone
Sneakin' on the stake of clam
Awful sick and tired of the gang
And it's cold and it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
Cold and it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're near any bottle
Hard times as we go, we know where times will change
I talk to Jesus, Jesus everyday
The open road, the path of greatness
It's at your fingers
Go be the one that keeps on fighting
Go be the stranger
Just put your foot in front' the other
Crow like the rooster
We are allowed to get us something
Free as a danger
I say
Spill on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
The windows are
The perfect picture
They're always changin
Go on get lost
Jump in the waters
when they are raging
i say
Spill on the streets of stars
ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
before you're gone
Spill on the streets of stars
ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
Beneath the dance hall lights
You see my girl so sound
Lights up the ground
If you give up New York
I'll give you Tennessee
The only place to be
The cowboys burning eyes
Don't like the sight of me
Just straight enough to breathe
I like your point of views
So don't you shy away
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
You had me holding on
All of the time in place
Ride out the wave
Bury yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave
Ride out the wave
I used to see you every day
I used to see you every day
I danced around your folk and soul
I danced to all your fucking soul
I left you with your nose a bleedin'
And your toes creepin' around
Ah so mundane and incomplete
Hand me down my pants
And get me off this street
I'm passed out in your garden
I'm in, I can't get off so soft
I'd pop myself in your body
I'd come into your party but
I'm soft
Behind the fringe of a whiskey high
Mutilating cat like eyes
And in your nose blood decadence
You try to drag me into your bohemian dancing
Ah, you paint my fingers and you paint my toes
You let your perfect nipple show
I'm passed out in your garden
I'm in, I can't get off so soft
I'd pop myself in your body
I'd come into your party but
I'm soft, but I'm soft
I'm passed out in your garden
I'm in, I can't get off so soft
I'd pop myself in your body
I'd come into your party but
I'm soft
I'm passed out in your garden
I'm in, I can't get off so soft
I'd pop myself in your body
I'd come into your party but
On a plane, on a plane
Off to see the city girls again
Only bringing what to carry on,
So that you know I won't be long
Dripping beard as cold as hell
And the motherfuckers gonna go to jail
Honestly I can see
The giggling virgin overlooking me
Trying to put together what to say
Although it wouldm't matter anyway
This rememo is set for home
It's personal but they need to know
I'm overdue another round,
To gain control and take me down
You're all tied up as you should be
And I'll be cutting out naturally
Dripping beards as cold as jail
And the motherfuckers gonna go to hell
This rememo is set for home
Just like the girlies back at corner stone
Wash my bugle boy a watching my throne
Sweet mutilation of a sold to nothing man,
Lord have mercy shake is falling through your hand
Razz the kid
Because you love me I'm the chosen one,
These are the days to not be having no fun
I listen back to what you told me before,
(Verse 1)
When the roll is called up yonder
I hope you see me there
(Chorus)
It's in the water
It's where you came from
It's in the water
It's where you came from
(Verse 2)
When the crowd begins to wonder
And they cry to see your face
(Chorus)
It's in the water...
It's in the story
It's where you came from
The sons and daughters
In all their glory
It's gonna shape them
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from...
Where you came from
(Verse 3)
You're the rose
That was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away
(Chorus)
It's in the water...
It's in the story
It's where you came from
The sons and daughters
In all their glory
It's gonna shape them
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from...
Where you came from
(Outro)
Where you came from...
Where you came from
And when they clash
And come together
And start rising
Just drink the water
Where you came from...
Pistol of fire
Pistol of fire
Pistol of fire
Shattered the frame
Go hug your sister
Go love your sister
Go hug your sister
One and the same
Higher, where did you want to take me?
Higher, where did you want to go?
Higher, grabbing up the money it's coming
Higher, coming for that rooftop door
I feel the water
Out in the cool grass
Down in the meadow
Under the tree
It's gonna tickle
You're gonna giggle
It's gonna tickle
Pick up her feet
Higher, where did you want to take me?
Higher, where did you want to go?
Higher, grabbing up the money it's coming
Higher, coming for that rooftop door
Won't you give me something I need?
Won't you get me off of the street?
Don't wet my tongue
Or spit me up and break me a fever
Give me something I can believe in
Give me something then walk me away
I'm a waste of time
And all in all a waste of a living
Waste of a living
Can't you see me walking alone?
I've been down to the horns and back
And I'm way too tired
Of blowing out the burning candles
I got no money but I want you so
I got no money but I want you so
I got so much I can not handle
Can not handle, I can not handle
End all this pissing around
Cut me loose of this fucking town
I ain't coming back
I got my ticket on to the next one
I got no money but I want you so
I got no money but I want you so
And I want, and I want
Salty leave, salty leave
Tell me the one about the friend you knew
And the last good night that we toasted too
Salty leave, stay for me
Stay for me
We drank wine in the matinee
And the spotlight showed what I chased away
Stay for me
She saw my comb over her hourglass body
She had problems with drinking milk and being school tardy
She'll loan you her toothbrush
She'll bartend your party
Kill me, kill me
Called and I called but I can't get through
He said he's on his own but his own is you
Kill me
She saw my comb over her hourglass body
She had problems with drinking milk and being school tardy
She'll loan you her toothbrush
She'll bartend your party
She saw my comb over her hourglass body
She had problems with drinking milk and being school tardy
She'll loan you her toothbrush
I got a friendShows me all the good timesTells me I look better
Shows me up and spits me outAnd then wants my eyes homeAnd sings a songWhen I'm gone, gone, gone
I got a friendShoots me up and downtownWhen I can't get me drunk enough
She takes me out the piecesOf a place I call homeTo sing a songTill I'm gone, gone, goneGone, gone, gone
I've got a friendWho helps me to get up againShowers me in bruisesTells me I've got a big old [unverified]
Hha ah ha ah ha ah ha ah
Mary, if you want to
I wave my right
I'll be on the corner
Just passin' time
No I won't, ever once, make you cry i hi hi
Just a kiss, oh I miss your goodbye i hi hi hi hi hi
ha ah ha ah ha ah ha ah
We'll go to the disco
We'll be a sight
Oh & we'll dance like (we're) boyfriends
It's sheer delight
No I won't, never once, make you cry i hi hi
With a kiss, how I miss your goodbye
No I won't, never once, make you cry hi hi hi
Just to kiss, oh and I'll miss your goodbye i hi hi hi hi hi
Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman probably thinks he's cooler than you
A hay ride, a fire, everybody's coming around
So go press your skirt, word is there's a new girl in town
I call shotgun, you can play your R 'n' B tunes
The fellowship time, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the creeps freshened up and baby faced shaved
Put your eyes on me and I know a place where we can get away
Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to
'Cause baby this is only bringing me down
Homeboy's so proud, he finally got the video proof
The night vision shows she was only ducking the truth
It's heavy I know, the black eye with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up and came back for more
And said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
She said I want you
I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
I said I want you just exactly like I used to
And baby this is only bringing me down
It's in the way she often calls me out
It's in the cut of your pretty gown
Your come-on legs and your pantyhose
You look so precious with your bloody nose
We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going
I'm coming home with you
Walking her home with the grassy field
Falling and laughing at the drinks we spill
Just one of those nights that I have to share
Chasing the death without a care
We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going
I'm coming home with you
You know I love the way you curve
Yeah
We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna get around like it's your birthday
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going
Got an attitude
Thinking that he's always right
Blowing smoke rings
Making me wanna fight
And then I look back
At all the things I've ever done
And then I look up
Seeing that he's on the run
Seeing that he's on the run
It's a big thing
Everything her heart desires
And now I have to
Try to out-do the fight
I caught a big break
When I played in the road
I saw you laughing
Even though you know it's so
Even though you know it's so
Even though you know it's so
Even when you're on the run
Even when you're on the run
Even when you're on the run
Even when you're on the run
Taking to the floor with the reach to the sky
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Trying to recall what you want me to say
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
And I say you can't get enough
Now you can't get enough
Given a chance I'm gonna be somebody
If for one dance I'm gonna be somebody
Open the door it's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor I'm gonna be somebody
Now it's your time and you know where you stand
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Now I'm no longer an ordinary man
Was this your big plan, your gun in your hand?
And I say you can't get enough
Now you can't get enough
Given a chance I'm gonna be somebody
If for one dance I'm gonna be somebody
Open the door it's gonna make you love me
Facing the floor I'm gonna be somebody
It's your life
Don't you let em tell you when to bat your eyes
You're the only one who's gonna sacrifice
Makes no difference if you're right or wrong
Take that ride
But I want your little sister by your side
Maybe little later we can all collide
Do our livin' like a rollin' stone
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted
Innocent smile
Runnin' free
Baby's gonna give it like it used to be
Show your face
Livin' in the shadows like you got no name
Enough to make a little girly go insane
Be my guest to let it out tonight
It's ok
I know all about the little games you play
Shakin' your apple right in my face
Only when you know that I'm beggin' fort a bite
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted
So won't you show your face (show your face)
Your little apple shake (show your face)
I know the love you gave (show your face)
I know the love you take (show your face)
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
Time on me is wasted time
I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two
18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart
Look at the shay's what's with the blush
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die but old is the grave
18, balding, star
Golden, fallen, heart
I'm a gonna show the way
I'm a gonna show the way
I'm a gonna show the way
I'm a gonna show the way
18, balding, star
I wanna say here's to me gonna change the world
Now I wanna play till they kicking down the door
I'll be alright long as I ain't seen it all
And I'mma holding tight to that night we had a ball, we had a ball
Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
They know it all but they still ain't seein' the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you
Either way you caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me with my pants down
My papa's slave had to go and fight the war
He beat 'em all then he took 'em all to court
My papa called and he said you remember me?
Now he's working awful hard in his factory
Either way you caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me whilst a lyin'
You caught me with my pants down
We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the oh
We ain't even been to the ocean
We been running barefoot the stream
We been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the ocean
Free- is all that she could bleed
That's why'll she'll never stay
White- bare naked in the night
Just lookin' for some play
Just another girl that wants to rule the world
Any time or place
And when she gets into your head
You know she's there to stay
You want it
She's got it
Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind
She's got your
Your pistol
Slow- She's burnin' in your soul
With whispers in your ear
It's okay I'll give it anyway
Just get me out of here
You'll plead- you'll get down on your knees
For just another taste
And when you think she's let you in
That's when she fades away
You want it
She's got it
Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind
She's got your
Strange living with a name
They get the best of me
But I'm gon' walk away
I don't complaint, I got much to gain
So they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face
But they could go off and hit the road
And what would I care?
I like going nowhere
I got the reigns, courage I was made of
And they got the fake love
So I know I must show
It's my show, I must go
With my soul not my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul
Pearls, necklaces and girls
And all the pretty thing
I ain't seeking to have
It's safe to say
If I don't get this out of me
I might quite easily end up dead
Mad cross my T's, try to dot my eyes
But that's blinding me
I ain't living that way
I roll my sleeves
And make me a better man of me
I might easily just give up on the show
Yes, my show, I must go
With my soul not my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul
I must show, it's my show, I must go
With my soul by my hand
Where I stand it's my role, it's my soul
It's my show, it's my show
Blistered cracked and bleeding
Cold no one should know
Rain falls down a freezing
And sticking like a snow
Lingering suspicions
Screaming in my head
Lies all mixed up with omissions
Aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies they're falling at my feet
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Now they're both dead, people can be so cold when they're dead
Calling all the neighbors
Time to make amends
Whiskey floods the table
Aw good friends 'til the end
They're making silly faces and it's tasting bitter sweet
This is just the way of the world Joe said
I had to put a bullet into his head
Then lit up a cigarette
Decided to call his fat friend Fred
Well he said Fred I just killed a man
Caught him laying with my girlfriend
Huffman don't take no nonsense
He's here to rectify
He's got his black belt buckle,
And the red man's fire in his eye
You with your switchblade posse,
I'll get my guns from the south,
We'll take to the yard like a cock fight
Four kicks who's strutting now?
This party is overrated,
But there aint shit else to do
She's a lovin' on a boy from the city,
