it's comin' over me, I got this feelin'
coming over me, yeah
this confusion is my illusion
nowhere to look, but know where
to find ya.
all these things I'm sick about,
I'm sick about
Holywater clouds my thinking
Sinking low now
Keep on drinking
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
You control me, soul you stole, mine
Wishful thinking
Six feet under
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Dead by dreaming, sleep you steal, mine
Pools of cold sweat
Hatred burns me
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong
Down you go, suffer long
Down you go, sin make me strong

have you seen your mother girl?
has she gone away?
gone away and found the pearl
but the price she paid
gone
when you wake in the morning
gone
when you find that there's no one sleeping
gone
pretty penny was her name
she was loved and we all will miss her
how far will you go I say,
just to bait a mouse?
shorter lived and longer gone,
can you figure out?
have you lost your sister girl?
she's all but blown away
blown away and lost the pearl

No you don't get
No you don't want it

she said she'd be my man
I can't live this way
please refill my soul
don't have a nickel or a dollar but
you feed me
my bottle's empty but you always
refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't
let me drown me
I wanna fuck, wanna fuck
Waitin', on a Sunday afternoon
For what I read between the lines
Your lies
Feelin', like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh, or does it cry?
Reply
Leavin', on a southern train
Only yesterday, you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watch the time go by
All of these things you said to me
Breathin', is the hardest thing to do
With all I've said and all that's dead for you
You lied, good bye
Leavin', on a southern train
Only yesterday, you lied
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watch the time go by
I Got You
But it's the craving for the good life
That sees me through troubled times
When the mind begins to wander to the spoon
And I Got You
Because your there to bend and nurture me through these
Troubled times
'Cause the fix begins to twist my troubled mind
And I Got You to paint the sorrow on my day
And I Got You to paint the roses on my grave
And I Got You
I Got You
But it's the feeling that I get when your away
Twist my mind 'cause I'm all alone and cold, gone I feel like dyin'
And I Got You to fill the craving that I get inside my mind
When you're there to fill the space I have inside, I feel like crying
And I Got You to paint the sorrow on my day
And I Got You to paint the roses on my grave
And I Got You
All the slippin' that I slap me
I Got You, I Got You
All the slippin' that I slap me
Hello, it's late
You know I've tried to stop the rain
Did you read about it?
Did you think about it?
Did you cry but nothing came?
Hello it's late
I know we tried to win the game
Did you hear about it?
Did you dream about it?
I know you cried but nothing changed ?
Nothing matters again
I didn't think it'd last that long
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round,
And the music is too loud
It's just a game
That we used to play
I didn't think we'd
Take it all the way
It kills me just because
It can't be erased -
(Music by R. DeLeo)
instrumental
When you're fed up and lonely
And nothing else seems to matter really
I'll be here waiting for the
Black cloud to leave you
I'll be here to hold your hand
When you're tired and lonely
Hold your breath underwater
And know you'll rise to the
Surface slowly
Think of me as a ship that might hold you
Carry you to the shore
When you're tired and lonely
She can't eat
She can't sleep
She's not well (she's lonely again)
She can't breathe
She's in bed
She's in hell
But she'll never
Really be alone
You love me more (???)
Cause you can't imagine me as someone old
But in the moment of sinless embrace
Your eyes stare right through me to the back of my face
I sleep all day
You're the cause of pain
We're always good on the road
Now you were my favorite show
As long as buses were rolling along
The destination's unknown
Talks of our connection was the way it began
Necessary dope but it was straight obsession
Couldn't sleep it out, but now who needs sleep?
Now it was 6 months later, it was,
Well, you know
I sleep all day
You're the price I paid
We're always good on the road
Now you were my favorite show
As long as buses were rolling along
I'm going under, I'm suffocating
Drowning but I'm holding on
What keeps me breathing? Don't have an answer
I'm drowning but I won't let go
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out
I've been a walkin' a lonesome highway
I felt as though I had no home
My bed's been taken by another I made the bed, now lie alone
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Away now, no way out
You're the fuel to the fire
You're the weapons of war
You're the irony of justice
And the father of law
I've been waiting for awhile to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
Who will be my judge and which one do I trust
You're the champion of sorrow
You're the love and the pain
You're the fighter of evil
Yet you're one in the same
I've been waiting for awhile to meet you
For the chance to shake your hand
To give you thanks for all the suffering you command
And when all is over and we return to dust
You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Tryin' to get to Heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile
You don't get it, no, you won't forget
So you're better off just leave it alone
If you don't stop thinkin'
Soon you will be drinkin'
And you're better off just stayin' at home
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
And the dogs came in,
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile

Hold on
Think I've had too much coffee
I'm manic as hell
But I'm goin' strong
Left my meds on the sink again
My head will be racing by lunchtime
Don't sleep behind the wheel at the stoplight
Can't sleep behind the wheel as you're drivin' home

She left her home from sweet Alabama
Rose Alabama for the city, New York City yeah

Underground parties, Andy Warhol everywhere

We'll never break up, been together for a month
She left her home from Sweet Alabama
Rose Alabama for the city, New York City yeah
Don't cut out my paper heart
I ain't dyin' anyway
Take a look at eye full towers
Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin' lemon yellow booze
Ole' Leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day
Keep on trippin' anyway
I am, I am, I said, "I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
Just have your deathbed motorcade"
Fake the heat and scratch the itch
Skinned up knees and salty lips
I'll breathe your life Vicks Vapor life
And when you binge I purge alike
Let go it's harder holding on
One more trip and I'll be gone
So keep your head up
Keep it on, just a whisper I'll be gone
Take a breath and make it big
It's the last you'll ever get
Break your neck with diamond noose
It's the last you'll ever choose
I am, I am, I said, "I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go
Let me be, just let me be"
I am, I am, I said, "I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
Just have your deathbed motorcade"
I am, I am, I said, "I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go
Let me be, just let me be"
I am, I am, I said, "I'm not myself
I'm not dead and I'm not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
Take a peak as the model earns it, earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Clean the politician, wash with everpure
So the answer gets harder, harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly
Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it sweeps downward and onward
Take a pill it'll kill all the martyrs, martyrs
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for this fly by
Take a sneak while the model earns it earns it
You're on the outside
You're lookin' in
You're takin' pictures of what you never been
So kill to kill
So ya wanna die?
You're burnin' slowly - with seven lives
Blow up the bitch with the firecracker smile
Switchblade in her suitcase
Loves to drive 'em wild
So kill to kill
Yeah ya gonna die
Everybody's searchin' - every single night
You'll never keep it 'cause you sold yourself
And by the way
You'll never lose it 'cause you never had it
It's all the same
Rock Star Life - turn on the switch
Hollywood Bitch - so fake that she seems real
She goes again
She's from the "Westside," she's lookin' thin
She fills her body with what she'll never be
So kill to kill - so you wanna die?
Tar and feathers hide your feelings
If you even know the meaning
Your high road is overrated
You left your guru out there hangin'
Don't stay
Don't stay
Your appetite's insatiable
Devouring one thousand souls
It's more or less the same ole story
The princess and the whore. The lady.
Nobody sees it
Nobody hears it
Nobody breathin' in a coma
So keep your secret
Your perfect secrets
It's just a game but no one's playin'
In a coma lying, waiting
Desire fills the lonely craving
So many trampled-under footwear
Hey everybody, where did Mary go?
Where did Mary go?
And where's my only cigarette?
Please think for me, I can't bare to
I'll just lie here for a while
Wet myself, wet my bed
I've readied it all for her, you know
Clean sheets, incense
And lots of fluffy pillows, now soiled
And where's my cigarette?
Did you check the bathroom, the bathtub?
She sleeps there sometimes
Water cleanses, you know
Washes dirt away, makes new
Maybe she, maybe she, maybe she
And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where you going 'till tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
So would you even care?
And I feel it
And she feels it
Where you're going for tomorrow?
Where you're going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she stand alone?
Where you are going for tomorrow?
Where you are going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she stand alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
Where you are going for tomorrow?
Where you are going with that mask I found?
And I feel, and I feel
When the dogs begin to smell her
Will she stand alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow
To find it, to find it, to find it
To find it
To find it
To find it
drivin' faster in my car
falling farther from just what we are
smoke a cigarette and lie some more
these conversations kill
falling faster in my car
time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience laden
time to take a ride
it leaves today no conversation
time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience laden
time to wait too long
to wait too long
these conversations kill
to much walkin', shoes worn thin
too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
time to catch a ride
it leaves today, her name is what it means
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray
Why do we all have to look this way?
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain
Time, time is not on my side
'Cause the way I am
Gotta, gotta now, gotta find the reason why
A woman ain't a man
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You can't deal with the way I pray
Why do you all have to think this way?
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain
Fall in those single file lines
Like army ants
Yeah, fall on into those single file lines
And complete the plan
You don't look but you kick me
You can't feel but you hit me
You shan't deal with the way I pray
Why do you all have to think this way?
I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain
You don't look but you kick me
Somebody told me I know where to go
Somebody showed me I was last to know
Sell me down the river
What I wanted Is what I wanted
What I wanted Is what she wanted
Unfriendly feelings down on wounded knees
Unfriendly reasons some blind mothers need
Sell me down the river
What I wanted Is what we wanted
What we wanted Is what she wanted
You read the words and it sells you life
They sell their words, but its all a lie
Somebody told me I know where to go
Somebody showed me I was last to know
Sell me down the river
What I wanted Is what I wanted
What we wanted Is what we wanted
I used to love you now I don't care
Now I turn around, you're everywhere
So you can chew me up and spit me out
You're just the little bitch I cared about
I know you can see me
But you don't believe me
I know that you're lonely
Time will tell and time is hell
No sex or violence
No morbid silence
Forever sleeping
You won't stop breathing
You hold me captive and it's not fair
Progressed insanity is everywhere
You need to love me but you kicked me out
My head is wandering so knock me out
I keep my head alfloat I'm drowning in
The muddy water pulls me down again
I used to love me but I hate me now
I'm just a little bitch I cared about
I used to love you now I don't care
Now I turn around, you're everywhere
So you can chew me up and spit me out
You're just a little bitch I cared about
I know you can see me
But you don't believe me
I know that you're lonely
Time will tell and time is hell
No sex or violence
No morbid silence
Forever sleeping
You won't stop breathing
You hold me captive and it's not fair
Progressed insanity is everywhere
You used to love me but you kicked me out
My head is wandering so knock me out
I keep my head afloat I'm drownin' in
The muddy water pulls me down again
I used to love me but I hate me now
I got you
But it's the craving for the good life
That sees me through trouble times
When my mind begins to wander to the spoon
And I got you
Because you're there to bend and nurture me through these
Troubled times
'Cause the fix begins to twist my troubled mind
And I got you to paint the sorry on my day
And I got you to paint the roses on my grave
And I got you
I got you
But it's the feeling that I get when you're away
Twist my mind 'cause when I'm alone and cold, I fell like dyin'
And I got you to fill the craving that I get inside my mind
When you're there to fill the space I have inside, I feel like cryin'
And I got you to paint the sorrow on my day
And I got you to paint the roses on my grave
And I got you
All the slippin' that I slap me
I got you, I got you
You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home

Coming Down
Mom I'm still healing
Coming Down
Oh, and I'm still breathing
Coming Down
Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power I got a woman who knows.
You know it's alright I said it's alright
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only Is that the way we should start?
Crazy ways are evident In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin' booze is precedent As the evening starts to glow.
I told your momma I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone With a tadpole in a jar.
Dancing days are here again As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power You are my woman who knows.
Forward yesterday
Makes me wanna stay
What they said was real
Makes me wanna steal
Livin' under house
Guess I'm livin', I'm a mouse
All's I got is time
Got no meanin', just a rhyme
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Feelin' uninspired
Think I'll start a fire
Everybody run
Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kinda neat
Then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing
Guess I'll leave it up to me
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
(This I feel as the dawn)
(It fades to gray)
Well, I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand
Guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand
'Cause it likes to heal
I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be

Half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all
The children call
Their favourite time of year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Golden times and ancients rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleighbells in the Air
Beauty everywhere
The yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Memories growing dear
All that we could always see
Such memories that be
Sleighbells in the Air
Beauty everywhere
The yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Like to take a cement fix
Be a standing cinema.
Dress my friends up just for show
See them as they really are.
Put a peephole in my brain
Two New Pence to have a go.
Like to be a gallery
Put you all inside my show.
Andy Warhol, looks a scream,
Hang him on my wall.
Andy Warhol, silver screen
Can't tell them apart at all.
Andy walking, Andy tired,
Andy take a little snooze.
Tie him up when he fast asleep,
Send him on a pleasant cruise.
When he wakes up on the beach
Be sure to think of me and you.
To think and paint, to think about glue,
What a boring thing to do.
Miles above your circumstance
There's water on your mind
I've wrestled with convictions
And I've settled with the tide
It's more or less uncertainty
But still you play the game
A pedicure won't change the score
But all of this will fade
So low, better get on
Everything's stopped (down)
So slow, better get on
Everything's slowed down
Take a bath with consecrated water
From the shrine
And wash away the mud of all the
Miles you left behind
Triplicates and wedding rings
Both lethal to obtain
So batten down the credit cards
There was this girl
Who lived not too long ago
As a matter of fact I think
She lives still
She knew she could do no wrong
Just singin' those songs
That we all knew
She would always crash the party
It was no surprise
It was for her
Too Cool Queenie
There was this boy
He played in a rock-n-roll band
And he wasn't half-bad,
At saving the world
She said he could do no right
So he took his life
His story is true
It's ok cause what goes around, comes around
It's all right cause what goes around, comes around
And now this girl,
Yeah she got real famous
And she made lots of money and
Some of his too
But still she thinks she can do no wrong
Just playing those songs
Summer med fly ruled the airways
Mostly superstitious
Now the kings of media
Invent the swine flu visions
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Yeah, it's alright
As we mosey on into the night
Yeah, just set us free
Could our shattered past just set us free?
Give you all those diamonds
Give you more and more
Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record store
Fleets of underground an artist
Look for benediction
Drive around waste gas and haul
In every green addition
Summer med fly ruled the airways
Mostly superstitious
Now the kings of media
Invent the swine flu visions
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Take a load off
Yeah, it's alright
As we mosey on into the night
Yeah, just set us free
Could our shattered past just set us free?
Give you all those diamonds

Shattered all those lies I bought
You from the record store

Give you more and more
Shattered all those lies I bought

Shattered all those lies I bought
She no wait, but she know me
Intake purge, it's my disease
Hold me closer let me be
Hold me closer let me go away
Barely know you know my name
Trip the witch and ride the shame
Just because you're so cliched
You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out?
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Alright, alright
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people
With minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright?
Alright, alright
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know, know it's gonna be alright?
Regenerate the impoverished souls
That echo you
Bleed to feed the masses
Soup line two times two
They got your picture from the
Sunday Plain Dealer that listed you
(Dead)
Forget the story. There's a bounty on
Your head. They fingered you
Right away. Right away
Green light. Get a move on
Right of way, right of way
Stop sign, put the brakes on
Positive cell regeneration
Positive cell regeneration
Celebrate the immortal youth
That wasted you
Peel the skin back from all the lies
That blistered you
They hold for ransom
All the watered down truths
That splintered your
(Faith)
So sell your soul, because you're already
(Dead)
They've listed you
To the fields where lesser mice go
To the fields where men follow
To the fields where lesser mice go
Oh Mars-1 Juxtapose
Swine flu Sally's
Neon nose grows
Like a life like Pinocchio
Everybody now is just trying to avoid it
Newsman Tom is trying to exploit it
I know a cure to stop the fear and a little rock'n'roll
Primitive minds during primitive times
But Dr. Lady Richard who won a Nobel Prize
With a putridish smile
What to do about third world nutrition
Can we dismantle our stupid vision
And get on with the show?
Dare, dare if you dare
Dare to be something
Dare to be real
Dare, dare to be more
Hope for the better
Dare to believe
It's hard to make amends
When you're sitting there on the fence
Let the proof be in the pudding sugar
Everybody wants to start a new religion
Please relax don't need a soul collison
There's a dusty rose where the promise of love used to be
Yea yea yea
Dare, dare if you dare
Dare to be something
Dare to be real
Dare, dare to be more
Hope for the better
Dare to believe
Dare if you dare
If you dare
If you dare
If you dare
My brother died and brought us together
I hope it lasts and lasts forever
What a hero he turned out to be
I wish he could just believe
Dare, dare if you dare
Dare to be something
Dare to be real
Dare, dare to be more
Hope for the better
Dare to believe
Dare if you dare
If you dare
If you dare
I'd like to sing a story for you
Here's what I'd sing if I could impress you
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
You've got to be the prettiest girl
I've ever witnessed in the whole world
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
We both talk about love
We both know about love
We both sing the songs
Can you hear me can you hear me now?
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on
I'd like to write a story for you
with a little melody pretty for you
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
Never condescend to you, my dear
Always speak the words so lovely to hear
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me?
Hear me can you hear me now?
We both talk about love
We both know about love
We both sing the songs
Can you hear me can you hear me now?
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on
Where did you come from
Where are you now?
Just like an angel
Seems like you left me
When you broke down
Down
Down
Down
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
Yeah, come on come on now
My friend Blue he runs the show
With hot pink purple china glow
His family trees are molded
no longer grows in summer
He holds it closer lets it go
Picks a fruit but keeps it whole
Can't keep the submarining
Can't keep the light from fading
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Ain't the same for you and me
Cartoons like reality dogs and cats and children
The deepest wound is hidden
Ain't the same for you and me
Comatose commodity the superheroes dyin'
All the children cryin'
Sell more records if I'm dead
Purple flowers once again
Hope it's sooner. Hope it's near corporate records' fiscal year
Down the river, down the river
Have a listen lend an ear
Here's a song now if ya care
We can all just hum along
Words don't matter anymore
Grab the hate and drown it out
Grab the beat and drum it out
It's all so confusing
Adhesive love adhesive
Flyin' high across the plain
Purple flowers ease the pain
Here, now have a listen
Ain't the songs you're missin'
Down the river, down the river
Stitch the womb and wet the bed with a whisper I'll be dead
Don't let the living die yet! Grab the hate...
Drown it out. Grab the beat...
Drum it out. It's all so confusing
Lovely disguise, read between the lines
You rock the magic plane with no abbreviation
Read what you say and what you bought
And there ain't no magic pen to get back what you lost
I like it when we talk about love
I like it when you talk about love
You always were my favorite drug
Even when we used to take drugs
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Penguins don't fly, crocodile Sunday smile
Really love to fish, but don't like super-fishy people
Shoe store, heard it all before
From pearly whites to pearly gates, what do we have to argue 'bout?
I like it when we talk about love
I like it when you talk about love
You always were my favorite drug
Even when we used to take drugs
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Even when we used to take
Leaving out a note for, get out of the way
You never did what you was told, get out of the way
Seems we're playing tug-of-war, get out of the way
The lesson big is listen more, get out of the way
Lovely disguise, read between the lines
You rock the magic plain, no abbreviation
Read what you say and what you bought
And there ain't no magic pen to get back what you lost
I like it when we talk about love
I like it when you talk about love
You always were my favorite shrub
Even when we used to take drugs
Even when we used to take, used to take
Even when we used to take, t-t-take
Even when we used to take, used to take
Even when we used to take, t-t-take
Hey you, someone said you were lost out there
In the grip, trying to strangle us all down here
In the meantime, are you ever gonna set us free
Hey you, will we ever get out of here?
Are you ever gonna surrender
do you even care
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there
All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it
Hey You, you keep a-walking the razor
On the edge, you cut your feet when you stand in there
In the meantime, there's always someone to set you free
Hey You, will you ever get out of there
Are you ever gonna surrender
do you even care
Wasn't talking about sweet submission
It wasn't even there
All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it
In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear
In the suit that you wear
All in the suit that you wear
When you're looking for something
It's in the suit that you wear
when you're hiding from someone
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it
All in the suit that you wear
When you wear it
All in the suit that you wear
Finally I've met you
The day has come
You're more than beautiful
And you're my son
I don't deserve this
I never thought it could be
Quite like the moment
When you first smiled at me
A toothless, wonderful feeling
Like I'd never seen
It's you, Noah, it's you
And when you lie down to sleep
I'll protect you
From the demons of the night
While I'm watching you grow
I'll pray
There's so much I could teach you
If you only have the time
Pray
There's so much God can teach you
If you only have the time
So will you tell me the little things?
What does God look like?
And angels' wings?
I don't remember these things
So would you teach them to me?
So for the moment
I'll watch you breathe
And when you wake up in the morning
And I pour the coffee
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flys in the vasoline, we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies and you will
Flys in the vasoline, we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Can you figure out what I want,
pull the trigger with a pop gun
Mindless fools that aggravate it
pick at you in desperation
Oh it's a love pop suicide
Oh I'm in love pop suicide
Pop life living is so real
Midwest farmers' kids are milkfed
Breed and incubate what you see
Ten years later here on t.v.
Oh it's a love pop suicide
I'm in love pop suicide
Father can't you love your women
Father can't you teach your children
Long range love implosion short wicked
Short wave mind explosion
And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it
Is she really gone again?
I'll find a way to you someday
I'll find a way to you someday
Father's always smoking
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinking and dyin'
And I don't believe it
If I were to die this mornin'
Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have?
Would you be my navigator?
Would you take me to a place we could hide?
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be waitin' here alone
I wanna ask you to forgive me
I haven't been the best with all that I had
Wish I'd only laid beside you
I think I spread myself a little too thin
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be waitin' here alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe
Hold on, hold on
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful
And as I'm fadin' out
I don't feel anything at all
Think I'm movin' on
Know you'll be safe but not alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe
Hold on, hold on
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful, that's wonderful
Can you see like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cuz I'm alive, so alive now
I know that darkness blinds you
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I could drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn, burn you alive now
Out of the chains that bind you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?
Burn, burn, burn
(Burn, burn, burn, burn)
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
(Burn, burn, burn, burn)
Burn your wicked garden to the ground, yea
Can you feel the pain inside?
Can you love? Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cuz I'm alive, so alive now
I know that darkness blinds you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?
Burn, burn, burn
(Burn, burn, burn, burn)
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
(Burn, burn, burn, burn)
Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seem to change
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside
I wish I could live in the dream
that I fly on the tarred & freathered wings
Well, I'm losing a game of reality
dice where the dealer never ever pays
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
Yeah, I could hide in the calm of the eye of the storm
And never blow away
Well, I'm a young man with a knife to my back
Some things never seen to change
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?
If I was stronger
I could be a mountain range
If night was longer
Could I escape the day?
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
Sing the song or keep it inside
Bought the farm, but the farmer done died
Sing that song, sing that song inside
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river...
I wanna be as big as a mountain
I wanna fly as high as the sun
I wanna know what the rent's like in heaven
I wanna know where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river goes
Where the river, yeah
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river
Where the river goes
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Goin' blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punched, drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
Flies in the vasoline, we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Goin' blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies and you will
Flies in the vasoline, we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Goin' blind, out of reach
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry
I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk
I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move
Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough
I'm looking for a new mediation
Still looking for a new way to fly
Don't want any plastic validation
Not looking for a new way to die
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
So what
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry
I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk
I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move
Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough
I'm lookin' for a new stimulation
Quite bored of those inflatable ties
I'm lookin' for a new rock sensation
Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
So what
So what
So what
Can't hold you when I miss you
(Tumble in the rough)
Left on a summer intermission
(Tumble in the rough)
Can't hold you when I miss you
(Tumble in the rough)
Left on a summer intermission
(Tumble in the rough)
I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't live, I can't cry
I can't die, I can't walk, I can't talk
I can booze, I can booze, steal your shoes so I can move
Tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough, tumble in the rough
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
I made excuses for a million lies
But all I got was humble kidney pie
So what
So what
So what
our bed we live, our bed we sleep
making love and I become you
flesh is warm with naked feet
stabbing thorns and you become me
oh, I'd beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you.
(Chorus)
pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me
ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath
and drift away...
she holds my hand we share a laugh,
slipping orange blossom breezes
love is still and sweat remains
a cherished gift unselfish feeling...
oh, I'd beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you.
(Chorus)
she tells me things, I listen well
drink the wine and save the water
skin is smooth, I steal a glance
dragon flies "er" gliding over...
oh, I'll beg for you. Oh, you know I'll beg for you.
She turned away, what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
She turned away what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a happy girl when she left me
What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?
Don't turn away, what are you looking at?
He was so happy on the day that he met her
Say, what are you looking at?
I was a superman, but looks are deceiving
The rollercoaster rides a lonely one
I paid a ransom note to stop it from steaming
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me
What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?
The girl got reasons, they all got reasons
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
The day that she left me
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
She was a sour girl the day that she met
find you in the dark
read you like a cheap surprise
without shame
sell me out, and frame your name
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
jealousy is the weapon you kill me
keep a dime for a truth you might tell
you toed the line, and I know it was mine
couldn't hide, write a wave, ride a lie
let me know, can I friend ask you why?
rolling back the days
with my friend I love to play
the "little one"
superman with silver gun
I can hear when the pig whispers sweetly
jealousy is the weapon you kill me
keep a dime for a truth you might tell
wait for me, take a dive take a piece of my life
(leave me numb)
wait for me, tell a lie, try to take my life
(leave me numb)
wait for me, take a dive take a piece of my life
(leave me numb)
I am, I am, I am
I said I wanna get next to you
I said I gonna get close to you
You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?
I ain't, I ain't, I ain't
A buyin' into your apathy
I'm gonna learn ya my philosophy
You wanna know about atrocity, atrocity?
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know
I am a man, a man
I'll give ya somethin' that ya won't forget

I said ya shouldn't have worn that dress
I know you want what's on my mind

I know, you know, you know, you know
Here I come, I come, I come

You wouldn't want me have to hurt you too, hurt you too?
I know you want what's on my mind
I know you like what's on my mind
I know it eats you up inside
I know, you know, you know, you know

Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Here I come, I come, I come
Falling farther with a flaming hand
I knew the question but I lost the answers
I'll hold the wall for all
I'll hold it all for all
As long as no one asks no questions
I got the message
And the message stood
One, two, three
I got another, got another
One, two, three
I got another, got another
I got another hit that held me the last time
Don't ya know what I mean boys?
One, two, three
I got another, got another
Falling fast but doing all I can
I know the questions but I lost the answers
I got the message and the message stood
One, two, three
I got another, got another
One, two, three
I got another, got another
(I got another)
I got another hit that held me the last time
Don't ya know what I mean boys?
One, two, three
I got another, got another
Lease the one who makes it
Profit from the riddle
Kill the one that breaks it
Always in the middle
Keep the dream alive
With sleeping pills you shouldn't fiddle
Lease the one that makes it
Profit from the riddle
I got the message but I lost the race
I got the message but I lost the race
One, two, three
I got another, got another
(I got another)
One, two, three
I got another, got another
(I got another)
I got another hit that held me the last time
Don't ya know what I mean boys?
One, two, three
I got another, got another
And I feel that time's a wasted go
So where ya going to tomorrow?
And I see that these are lies to come
So would you even care?
And I feel it
And I feel it
Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel and I feel when the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
And I feel so much depends on the weather
So is it raining in your bedroom?
And I see that these are the eyes of disarray
So would you even care?
And I feel it
And she feels it
Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel and I feel when the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow to find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time, to wait for tomorrow to find it, to find it, to find it
Where ya going for tomorrow?
Where ya going with that mask I found?
And I feel and I feel when the dogs begin to smell her
Will she smell alone?
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow yo find it, to find it, to find it
When the dogs do find her
Got time, time to wait for tomorrow to find it, to find it, to find it
I broke the breadline
Nobody knows
I walked the frontline
Still got far to go
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I broke the breadline
Don't wanna know
It's staring me down
Wearing a crown of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
I killed the manchild
I'll fast alone
I had the midwife
Naked and alone
I mixed the water
I drank the water
I killed the brainchild
I'll fast alone
It's staring me down
Wearing a crown of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
Don't wanna let me be a man
Don't wanna lead me to your home
It's staring me down
Wearing a crown of apathy
I'm standing around
Dressed like a clown
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
I killed the manchild
I had the midwife
I drank the water
I stand alone
I broke the breadline
I walked the frontline
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
I killed the manchild
I had the midwife
I drank the water
I stand alone
I broke the breadline
I walked the frontline
Don't know my name
You know where to find me
Don't wanna let me be a man
Don't wanna lead me to your home
Don't wanna let me be a man

After all records are cut in the recording studio
My second album
One dozen melodies
To listen
Include this number
Maver with her lucky bonnet
She used to paint her flowers on it
She keeps her memories on a turnstile
'Cause she's superstitious
She thought she'd be famous
And tell me if I'm wrong
But I think she still just likes to play them
Yeah and maybe you'll be lucky enough
To hear her sing on Sunday
Oh Maver
Maver and her bonnet
Streaks of life upon it
Betting on the ponies
So things could get easier
Just praying on a easy peace for her
Oh Maver
She was a true blue blooded traveler
She left her home post for the West Coast
With a guitar and a bar of soap for 'ol San Francisco
And a fool hearted head of hope
Well she landed in a flat
With some fellas that were lucky to meet her
'Cause she could play the six-string better than
Those macho pendejos
Oh Maver
Maver and her bonnet
Streaks of life upon it
Betting on the ponies
So things could get easier
Just praying on a easy peace for her
How many nights did you make it without it?
How many lines on your face have paved your way in stone?
How many nights did you make it without it?
How many lines on your face have paved your way in stone?
Maver and her bonnet
Streaks of life upon it
Betting on the ponies
So things could get easier
Just praying on a easy peace for her
Just praying on a easy peace for her
Oh Maver
Oh Maver
Leave me out, get away
I gotta go
Long way home
Can't see through the trees
Leave me out, get away
Better run fast as I can
From the man - the dirty man - the old man
In my song
Run away, fly away
Long way home
Through the fields, the burning fields
Call my name
When you knock on the door
Go insane
When you knock on the door in my head
And it's beatin' like a drum
Tell me
Is it more of the same and
Where can I find it?
Tell me
Is she fighting for air and
Where does she come from?
Tell me
Leave me out, get away
I gotta go
Long way home
Can't see through the trees
Leave me out, get away
Better run fast as I can
From the man - the dirty man - the old man,
Run away when he's knocking on the door
What's she runnin' from?
I really don't know
Keep her runnin' it's a long way home
I hear the music - songs we know
somebody told me, I know where to go
somebody showed me, I was last to know
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
what I wanted, is what I wanted
what I wanted is what she wanted
unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee
unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
sell me down the river
what I wanted, is what I wanted
what I wanted is what she wanted
you read the words and it sells you life
Less conversation
No moral obligation
To tell me how you feeling tonight, right
Minds over racin'
Visions got me shakin'
Motor station changing your mind
Mind, mind, mind
I see what's at the ending of the rat trap
Lady Jabowakee's eatin' bed bugs
The rabbit dug a hole straight through to China
So where do we go?
And where is the rabbit's hole?
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm sinking in
I'm moving in
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away
Ol' Tom Turtles
A hustler and a cousin
His lizard like complexion ain't right
Motor city's moving
The big grizzler's groovin'
He's a number one percenter tonight
Right on
Right on
Right on
Right on
I see what's at the ending of the rat trap
Lady Jabowakee's eatin' bed bugs
The rabbit dug a hole straight through to China
So where do we go?
And where is the rabbit's hole?
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm sinking in
Don't let the grip on this subside
Chips will only grow one shoulder at a time
The lesson of all lessons of our lives
And forget about the troubles for a time, time, time, time
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away, yea
I'm feeling like I'm sinking in
I'm moving in
I'm feeling like I'm pulling away
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
Strange, strange, strange, it's a dichotomy
But it was never quite weird
Or quite normal for me
Take a break, take a breath and let's see where we're at
Those damn bed bugs are sleeping up in my head
All day all night
You telling my story
But you don't know my name
It's a hickory dichotomy
You're messing with my brain
Selling the story
Are you holy or lying
Hickory dichotomy
I tell you the truth then you bite
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
Brave, brave, brave
As the apostles go
Is it a hickory hypothesis
Or one man show?
Take a rest
Or take a travel
In the light of lights
But them tall tale teasers
Keep sneaking in my show tonight
Alright
You telling my story
But you don't know my name
It's a hickory dichotomy
You're messing with my brain
Selling the story
Are you holy or lying
Hickory dichotomy
I tell you the truth then you bite
You telling my story
But you don't know my name
It's a hickory dichotomy
You're messing with my brain
Selling the story
Are you holy or lying
Hickory dichotomy
I tell you the truth then you bite
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
Alright alright alright come on
You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Trying to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone
And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile
You don't get it, no, you won't forget
So you're better off just leave it alone
If you don't stop thinkin'
Soon you will be drinkin'
And you're better off just stayin' at home
And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
And the gods came in
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile
Coming down
Mom I'm still healin'
Coming down
Oh, and I'm still breathing
I'm freely standing
On my own
Or am I falling
In a river cold?
Those friends always ask me
Saying "How you been?"
Well I've seen somber days
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never 'round
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
It's in the nighttime
When I'm feeling old
Am I lonely?
I watched you go
My friends always wonder
Ask "How you been?"
Well I've seen better days
Am I mistaken?
Am I mistaken?
Could you be sitting there lonely too?
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never 'round
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Yeah
He was a man
Who didn't want me anymore
He never
Never
Never 'round
How much did you get for selling out my name?
Still won't forget those hazy days
Torment the tortured, teach me things
I'm so alive
Speak to the speechless, seek the things
You have inside
You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride
Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Just give me half a chance
From throwing it all away
Run to the place that hides the pain
You have inside
Cover my chain it hides the strain
Only to glide
You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride
There's nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it. Fly it on the run
It's too late, the time is gone
Later on again 'cause no one's leaving
Take a risk and listen to the radio
Click your heels at the bi-polar disco
Fly down the villa destination sign
Everybody feels the days but waits for summer nights
Boy meets girl
They might drive in modern love
Can we really find
Love, the magic place we dream of
Super magic robots set the
Solar system free
Reel over, reel over and over
Reel over, reel over
Take a risk and listen to the radio
Click your heels at the bi-polar disco
Fly down the villa destination sign
Everybody feels the days but waits for summer nights
Boy meets girl
They might drive in modern love
Can we really find
Love, the magic place we dream of
Super magic robots set the
Solar system free
Reel over, reel over and over
Reel over, reel over and over
Reel over, reel over and over
She don't even like you anymore
She don't even like you anymore
Ain't no chance she loves you like before
She will even take you to the morgue
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way

Now pick up the song there's some to say
Now wait
Wait

I don't know
I'm feeling oh so low

Why why why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Through the open door
I can't get all them couples anymore
I can't buy you fancy yogurt anymore
When to it comes to me and you
It's all just business like before
And I walk a mile and a half for you no more
Gotta gotta gotta now find a way

Why why why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Through the open door
Up on the wall I saw an alley cat
She had heels six feet tall and she towered over all
I learned my lesson well
I think we learned our lesson well
Maybe more
Maybe more
Maybe more
Maybe more
Maybe more
I don't know
I'm feeling oh so low
I'm feeling oh so high
Why why why am I crying?
Running fast to the liquor store
I quickly hit the wall
And stumble through the open door
Loud talk, dumb love, lacerator
Come and touch
Bleed to feel, feel to f**k
Keep ya comin', comin' back for more
Alcohol, it's a lie, stimulate a needle in your eye
Let it bleed, blow your mind
Touched myself, nearly went blind
Couldn't find a way to live though the pain
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't get outta bed
Ten ton bricks layin' on my head
Persecute the crucified
Kill a man for losing his mind
Couldn't find a way to live through the shame
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, you're all alone
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, your secret's known
Loud talk, dumb love, lacerator
Come and touch
Bleed to feel, feel to f**k
Keep ya comin', comin' back for more
Alcohol, it's a lie, stimulate a needle in your eye
Let it bleed, blow your mind
Touched myself, nearly went blind
Couldn't find a way to live though the pain
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't get outta bed
Ten ton bricks layin' on my head
Persecute the crucified
Kill a man for losing his mind
Couldn't find a way to live through the shame
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Couldn't find another way to win the race
Couldn't find a way
Dumb love
Come on out, you're comin' home
Deceive yourself, you're all alone
Come on out, you're comin' home
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
I am trampled under sole of
another man's shoes
Guess I walked too softly
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
Ohh yeah, and she says it's natural
I feel I've come of age
When she peeks I start to run
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
You can't swallow what I'm thinkin'
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me on
my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me
'cause I'm dead & bloated
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I run through the world thinkin' 'bout tomorrow, thinkin' 'bout tomorrow
I am smellin' like the rose

my birthday deathbed
I am smellin' like the rose
that somebody gave me, somebody gave me,
somebody gave me on
Monday, back from the dead
I'm letting it go, back for another one
Tuesday, shoot me in the head
I'm takin' it back, takin' it back
It'll take it back
Wednesday, she's looking for a friend
She'll get what she wants
Can't seem to get enough
Thursday, it's more than I can stand
I'm holding her down, holding her down
She's down again
I've gotta find a way to find her
Where could she be?
Four days of the week she thinks I'm the enemy
One day, left me for the dead
Woke up on the floor, time for another one
Two days, she's leavin' me again, can't take it no more
Out through the open door
Three days, she's found herself a friend
She got what she wants
Still never get enough
Four days, she's back with me again
She's pullin' me down, pullin' me down
I'm down again
I've got to find a way to find her
Where she could be?
Four days of the week she thinks I'm the enemy
Monday's gone
Tuesday's fadin'
Wednesday's gone
Thursday's all but wasted now
Monday, back from the dead
I'm letting it go back for another one
Tuesday, shoot me in the head
I'm taking it back, taking it back
I'll take it back
I gotta find a way to find her
Where could she be?
Four days of the week she thinks I'm the enemy
Kickin' as I'm tryin' to sleep
I got the mud beaneath my shoes
Rubber band, rubberband
Gun in hand, gun in hand
I wanna use
Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away, gotta get away
And I think I think too much
I don't care, yeah and I don't care
Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away, gotta get away
And I think I think too much
Trippin' as I'm thinkin'

Crackerman, crackerman

Roamin', roamin', roam
Get away, gotta get away
And I think I think too much
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinkin'
And I'm thinkin'
I got a picture of a photograph
Of a wedding in a shell
It's just a burnin', achin' memory
I never kiss and tell
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's a hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or should we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna die but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Spin me up, spin me, spin me out
Station, love station send me up and out
Is this what life and love is all about
I think, I think so
We used to see in color
Now it's only black and white
Yea, it's only black and white
Cause the world is color blind
Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or should we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna die but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Nothing's for free, nothing's for free
Take it away boys
Nothing's for free, nothing's for free
Take it away boys
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
There's hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
How the story really goes?
Or should we all just hum along
Sell your soul and sign an autograph
Big bang baby, it's a crash, crash, crash
I wanna die but I gotta laugh
Orange crush mama is a laugh, laugh, laugh
Nothing's for free, nothing's for free
Take it away boys
Nothing's for free, nothing's for free
Take it away boys
So turn it up and burn it
There's a hole in your head
A hole in your head
Where the birds can't sing along
Does anybody know, how the story really goes?
The story really goes
Bagman honey
Bagman sugar
Bagman honey
Bagman sugar
I know it feels good
But be careful with your vices
Falling
Crawling on your knees again
Watch out for the bagman
Bagman honey
It'll drive us insane
Bagman sugar
Oh do what you want
Fat man shouting
You're holding on for nothing baby
Bagman sleazy
Does it hurt?
We almost got it right
Revelation
Conversation made it laden
With the bagman's bag
Bagman honey
It'll drive us insane
Bagman sugar
Oh do what you want
Fat man shouting
You're holding on for nothing baby
Bagman sleazy
Does it hurt?
Then
There was a dream
When you said we would be free
But now is the time
To be real
Bagman honey
Bagman sugar
Fat man shouting
Bagman sleazy
Bagman honey
It'll drive us insane
Bagman sugar
Oh do what you want
Fat man shouting
You're holding on for nothing baby
She lives in a bungalow
She kills me with rosegarden thorns
She waits for me
My love is unusual
It's painted with roses and thorns
with her I'm complete
She lives by the wall
and waits by the door
She walks in the sun
to me
Visions of Mexico seduce me
It goes to my head so carefully
Memories of candles and incense
And all of these things remember these
She lives by the wall
and waits by the door
She walks in the sun
to me
She comforts me when
the candles blow out
the cake has grown mold
but the memories are sweet
The laughter's all gone
but the memories are mine
The Mexican princess
is out of my life
She lives by the wall
and waits by the door
She walks in the sun
And so I know it's begun again
Never be the same and with that I said
You'll never ever be this way again
Hold on till the end like it's the last hello
Whirlwinds and roller coasters
Long grass making shapes hello
Disappearing, disappearing floating graves
Never, ever, ever, ever be this way
You'll never ever be this way again
Never, ever, ever, ever be this way
And never ever be this way again
And so I know, it's begun again
Never be the same and with that I said
Campfire girls make me feel alright
Campfire girls make me feel alright
