Jehovah's witness leave me alone
Jehovah's witness i'm not at home
Keep on a-knockin' and ringin' the bells
Knockin' your way straight to hell
Jehovah's witness let's not pretend
That for one second you are my friend
Knock on my door and i'll turn out the light
Close the curtains and turn in for the night
Jehovah's witness why must it be
Just when i'm feeling good i look out and see
You walking up in your very nice suit
Like i'm some old lady who'll give up her loot
Jehovah's witness leave me alone

They told me that i couldn't come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said i was doing things that never should be done
But i don't care about their rules
As if i cared 'bout the little minds
In the little heads of the herd
There's nothing you could dream
Would be more absurd
And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
I don't know what it is they're trying to do to me
Make me into some sick joke
But no one's laughing
And least of all not me
It's hard to laugh as you choke
Hollywood lies piled up to the sky
Floating your way soon
Hope you like the rotten stench of doom
And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
I don't know what it is they think i'm gonna try
They don't know what they need to fear
The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror
Everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

When i was born the doctor said
There's something wrong inside that baby head
When i was a boy at sunday school
I told them all that they were fools
All in a day's work
To live and breathe
A sight to see
And so it goes
I went into the fortune teller's
She wouldn't read my horoscope
I go into the laundromat
The people all buy extra soap
All in a day's work
To live and breathe

Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Walk down any street
Ask the people you meet
What is it about this place
Keeps you on your feet?
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Night is coming down
Closer to the ground
Gonna have a little fun
While i'm still around
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes indeed
Don't believe the words they say to you
When they are so absurd
And don't believe a word they say about me
Because i'm
Feeling mighty fine
I think i gotta go
I think i'm gonna die
Oh my god, something's wrong
The end is coming near
Because i'm
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Feeling mighty fine
Feeling mighty fine at this time
Yes i am
Yes i am

This is the day
That i give myself up cold
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And so you shake your coat off
And get on your way
Bloodshot and trembling
A new day has begun
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And you blow it all away
And get on your way
The dust of ages
Settles on your days
But i'm not fuckin' around anymore

She has eyes disability blue, a German dog and strict curfew
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she's turned the script to another page
And she doesn't really give a damn what you have to say
She makes a call on her friend's cell phone
The operator answers and says you're not alone
And if one man's ceiling is another's dance floor
Then she'll be the one running to the sea shore
Trying to tell the seagulls this is home
And if one man's cage is another man's stage
Then she'll be the one wiser than her age

If i lay my head down
I will see you in my dream
Wearing that polka dot dress
And sitting by the stream
Leaning in to hear you
You will whisper in my ear
And everything i need to know
I finally hear
I wish i could remember
But my selective memory
Won't let me
When i was a baby
We would go out to the park
And sit out in the fountain
Splashing 'round until it's dark
The days go on forever
When you only know that much
And everything you need to know
Is answered with one touch
I wish i could remember
But my selective memory

Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things
And you are one of them
Hard to believe
After all these years
But you are one of them
Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Everybody move along
I've got a sad-hearted needing
To belong
Nevertheless
It's all the mess you made
But i can't let it go
Walk down the streets
I'm thinking:
Look at all the ants in a farm
I've got a sad-hearted feeling
To harm
Hate a lot of things
But i love a few things

You think you'll get under ol' monsieur's lid
And try to imagine all the things that he did
You don't know where i'm gonna go
You don't know where i'll go
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live
Wake up in the night and think of all the years
Falling from the ceiling and covering your ears
You don't know how you're gonna get out
You don't know how you'll get out
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live
Call up your best friend
And tell him a lie
You've got to be kidding
I'm not really high
I dont know where i'm gonna go
I don't know where i'll go
I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place
Where else could a creep like me
Meet such a pretty face
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
Used to always feel like
Wished that i was dressed better
Never had a lot of luck
Until i finally met her
Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton
Lifted off my shoulders now
My losing streak is done
Always felt like giving in
To the feeling i can't win
But i took it on the chin
Now i'm finally cashing in
Meeting every day with the rising sun
Looking up it's looking like
My losing streak is done
My losing streak is done
I said my losing streak is done
Did you hear me

Nobody's quite sure how it became
That something so good
Could become of this day
But she's like a dream
Where you've lost all your fear
And in this life you're lucky to have
Even one good friend
And it's her that i'll miss in the end
Love stories come
And then love stories go
But this is the one
That i'll always know
She is the one that makes me believe
And in this life you've got yourself
On which you can depend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end
Love is a word that gets thrown 'round a lot
Sometimes it means something
Other times not
But she is the greatest love i'll ever know
And in this life you'll never know
What's waiting 'round the bend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end

Came home tonight
And i felt like i'd die of loneliness
Strange you think
Popularity
Looking for a simple life
But life ain't simple
I'm tired and sick
But i don't wanna be alone
I'll go to a party
But i don't really want to
For now i'm sitting out here on my porch
Writing in the dark air
Listening to my little black cat meow
Trying to vent some of the terrible passion
That's coursing through me
Something about you
Something about spending the afternoon
Asleep in your arms
I hate you

Saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby
I got a long long day ahead of me
The parents are sleeping soundly
The neighbors are dead as wood
I'm getting up and coming over
We gotta rock the neighborhood
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do
It's saturday morning
And this ain't the place for me
I'm giving you warning baby
We got a whole big fat world to see
Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here
If we don't make it happen
Sleep away the day if you want to
But i got something that i gotta do
It's saturday morning
And who's gonna play with me
Six in the morning baby

I know i'm not too much of a bargain
And you know that's not what you bargained for
As the hours turn into days
Pretty soon lost in the haze
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I like waking up after a bad dream
Makes it feel like life ain't bad
Little kids go out to play
They're just happy it's another day
It's up to you and me
And who's to say
These could be the good old days
I guess i could be a quiet hero
No one knows the good i've done
You're not sure
Well that's okay
'cause i am
And i'm not afraid
It's up to you and me
And who's to say

22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Aw yeah
Johnny don't like the teacher
Johnny don't like the school
One day johnny gonna do something
Show 'em he's nobody's fool
Aw yeah
Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers
Trailer park of broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you're bleeding
Sally don't like her daddy
Sally don't like her friends
Sally and johnny watching tv
Waiting for it to end
Aw yeah
Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers
Trailer park of broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you
Rock
22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck

Tarot cards
Said i'm already dead
Crystal ball
Fell down onto my head
Tenderness
If i want it i pay
My true love
Well she threw it away
But i can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed
Had some money
And a hole in my pocket
Had a house
But i forgot to lock it
Took a drag
From a smoke that may kill me
What a drag
How the winter wind chills me
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed
I'll shine it on just like macbeth
In the face of certain death
Of a salesman or a king
And when the palm trees are on fire
I'll take my boat out on the sea
Had a face
But i never could save it
Had a kid
But i never would name it
Have a life
Well that's what they call it
It's a road

Dear ma
You might find it hard to believe
But i think i finally found a home
The weather's lovely
There's so much to see
And people who know what i know
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where
They're bound
Dear ma
I know this is hard for you too
But some things are better off said
I've always found it so hard to adjust
I'd rather stay in bed
Now i've got friends that do want me
And take me as i am
Now i've got friends that do love me
I'm alright with them
Fitting in with the misfits
Living in the lost and found
And i will never be afraid
For lost souls
Don't know where

baby genius
look how you've grown
where do you go from here?
didn't we have some good times
after all is said and done
small body and small mind
big head and big headaches
my back is broken
baby genius
find a new ride

There's nothing that i wanna do
More than get alone and be with you
Trouble with dreams is they don't come true
And when they do they can't catch up to you
You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams
I'm walking down a lonely road
Clear to me now but i was never told
Trouble with dreams is you never know
When to hold on and when to let go
If you let me down it's alright
At least that leaves something for me
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams
This is the life that i must lead now
Crossing fingers and wiping brow
Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend
Something with no beginning has an end
You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you

It's a beautiful morning
The sky is black as ink
The city's sleeping still
And soon they'll wake up
To the stink
And soon they'll wake up
To the stink of life passing them by
Wake up and smell the stink of their lives
The garbage trucks are coming
To take your shit to the dump
You're smelling pretty now
Such a pretty little lump
A pretty little lump of flesh
Who's lost your way
Another night another day
And when you sleep at night
Dreaming of the pretty things
Don't be too surprised
When the telephone rings
I'll be sitting here
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
I'll be sitting here

Sad foot sign
Why you gotta taunt me this way
The happy side is broken now
It's gonna be an awful day
And if i have to drive back by
To see from a different side
Would it be enough to say
The first time was a lie
Sad foot sign
The end is coming
That's what they say
Maybe you could see it
In your heart for one day
To let me feel what it's about
To really be alive
To live and breathe and see and feel
Then i can die
And when i come back to this world
I'll put on the uniform
And go into the foot sign shop

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line
Hummin' along old dominion blues
Not much to see and not much left to lose
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back
I feel like an old railroad man
Who's really tried the best that he can
To make his life add up to something good
But this engine no longer burns on wood
And i guess i may never understand
The times that i live in
Are not made for a railroad man
I feel like an old railroad man
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station's empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know

Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel
Just get down under your desk
Feels like your mama's nest
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
It's the one thats really real
You're gonna love it if you give it a try
You just lay down like you're gonna die
Alright
Everyone is going fetal
If you feel like your fate is sealed
Then just get down and curl on up
Just like a little helpless pup
Alright

So you've got balls now
Marie on the run
Down on newberry street
Seventeen seconds of fun
Apes are overrated, blucky
A kinky batch of pudding, yay!
Garbage dump pumpkin rot
And candy apple gray
Werewolf in a flower bed
Perfect day for lucky guy
This song was never meant to be released
What's that flaming ball in the sky?
The crack head from texas
He can read my feet
A bruised pinata
And a liquid pixie
If friends were flowers
Nothing gold can stay
Consexual sense
And squeegee tales
Bees in the cookie jar
Symphonic despair
Reinventing the manifesto
I, you, we ... don't care
Jacuzzi's and bunnies
A broken fondue set
Koool g is in the outhouse
You can be my mr. french
This old frisbee
Is shitting in the alley
I saw a naked picture of me on the internet
Wearing jesus's new snowshoes
Golly gee
If hell is crowded, then we shall sing
A hip song for the kids in the back
For michele & the dripping of a faucet
Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks
Olympic mayonnaise, dr. thunder!
Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts
With hollywood suspicion

Well, the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down
The brotherhood of the misunderstood
Live and die here in all likelihood
You're livin' in this town
Better pray for sundown
And baby, when you go downtown
You keep your eyes down
You keep your eyes down
Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down
Go with the flow, well you've gotta be sick
Think i'd rather hear my heart not tick
But if you don't wanna wear a hospital gown
Better get out now
Or keep your eyes down
Fair-weather friends need not apply
The man of the house is not inside
Baby, i'm keeping my eyes
Down
Well the sun is shining but it don't feel good
Don't smile down on this neighborhood
When i go walking through this stinking town
Mister, i keep my eyes down

Sitting in the funeral parlor
On the night before the day
Think i might have left the stove on
Think i might have left the door unlocked
I don't know if the stores will all be closed
When i get out
I don't know if the chores will all be done
When i get home
Sitting in the funeral parlor
Listen to the organ play
What if i forgot the trash cans
What if i forgot to telephone
I don't know if i wrote the number down
In my book
I don't know if i can stand to stay here

What would you say if i left this town tomorrow
I guess i would
But know i'd miss the train
I know i would
I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one
Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world
I never want to be the same
Another time i might have fit in alright
But not this time
I guess i'm just too soon
To change my tune
I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one
Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world

I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I may check out
At any given time
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am i stronger than the curse
Everyone is scared of me
And i'm scared of me too
Never know just what i'm gonna do
Heads up, kittens
Everything is bad
The sky is dark now
But it's the best dark i ever had
Hang on to a little thing
And let it guide the way
Bring it with you to
Another day
I've got something
Maybe i should tell you
I'm hanging on here
And i'm really gonna try
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse

Guess i'm doing something wrong
Never feel right in these shoes
Pocket full of matches and a head full of flames
Got to warn you that i'm bad news
She tucks me in and then she screams
"one day you will have to choose
Either take care of me or take care of you
And don't pretend you're not bad news"
Come on now i'll take you home
You don't have a thing to lose
But stick around long enough and you'll find out
I am nothing but bad news
You can never change where you're from
No matter who i will accuse
I'm gonna get on with a better life
And one day i won't be bad news
It's the same everyday when i wake up
It's the same in the way that you
Gave me up
In the middle of a swan dive
And i was soaring down

If i could love you
I'm sure i would
If i could hold you
And feel understood
I'd be there now
But i don't know how
'cause i am an animal
Bundle of rags
Wrap me tight
Keep me safe inside
Warm at night
I am no more
I am not good
I am so sorry
If you misunderstood
I'd make it up
But i cannot

She's got her life living in her heart She's got these eyes well where do I start?
Like looking at the deep night sky
So many worlds inside her eyes
She's a spectacular girl
Part of the job of being a man
Is knowing when to let go of her hand
A kind of power it can't be reined in
To hold her back would be a sin
She's a .. anekatips
Spectacular girl
She sees the beauty in things we all miss
All good things are defined by the kiss
If you feeling like you can't believe
Well then how do you explain the miracle I see
She's a spectacular girl
Spectacular girl
Not a desire and not a need
somethings just happen because they have to be
I'm gonna get there, I'm telling you sir
I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her
She's a spectacular girl
Spectacular girl
Oh yeah

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can shoot me up full of bullet holes
But the souljacker can't get my soul
Souljacker can't get my soul
Left my carcass with the worms and moles
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can hang my neck from the old flagpole

You up there
Don't you think there's something you can do
Well no one ever told me it was gonna be this way
Me down here
Well look at all the things i try to do
Every day's another day
But nothing else is new
Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell
Well is it me
Or is it everyone that comes around
They always stay a little while
But they're gone before too long
Hey you up there
Looking down upon this sorry scene
Is it what it's all about
Or is this some bad dream
Everything i see is broken
There's no water in the well
Oh won't you please send me
Someone to break the spell
I've got a million dreams stuck in my head

Woke up with a bang
And a bug on your face
It crawled in your mouth
And gave you a taste of
The good life you left behind
But i think you're gonna be fine
Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through
This nagging malaise
Is more than a phase
It feels like a job
But no boss ever pays you to lay there
And think how you'll die
While the tears start to well in your eyes
Somebody loves you
And you're gonna make it through
One more saturday
All alone through the night
You've got to be sure
When you turn out that light
That it's going to turn on again
You've got to be your good friend
Somebody loves you

I got some sleep and I needed it
Not a lot, just a little bit
Someone's always tryin' to keep me from it
It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
Ask me any question and I'll level with you
I didn't ask but anything but bein' with you
That's the only thing I was born to do
And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
Another day is put to the test
Lord knows I'm doin' my best
Never a brother, always a guest
It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact
And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by

(Something's not right, I don't understand)
Nowadays I keep to myself
Everybody else can look some other way
Things I say seem to get me into trouble
That I've been through for too many days
And trouble is a friend of mine
I'd like to leave behind
I like my friends more refined
Things I lose
Weighing on my heart
Every time I start to think
Maybe it's through
A little lie
Goes a long way when you can't say
Quite for sure what's the truth
The truth is something no one really
Wants to hear you say
Just how you doin and have a nice day
Nowadays you go for a walk
Better not stop and wave or say hello
Just this song
People will spit, give you shit
Just for looking at them
And for walking too slow
Slowly and methodically
I'll lock the world away

She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny any more
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
So I am knocking on the door again
I say, "Do you want to be alone?"
She says, "No I don't wanna be alone
But I think that you do
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
And I know she's right, I know how it would be
If I had my own way with the world
As I know it should be
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I've been shutting down the lights
And I don't know if I'll ever go back again
I'm drivin' straight into the night
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it

Wake up the dying
Don't wake up the dead
Change what you're saying
Don't change what you said
Now that it's time that
I got out of bed
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Pink and brown babies in pink stroller cars
Know that it's good
They don't care where they are
They know that home doesn't feel very far
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Airplane is flying up in the sky
Making a pattern with the white lines
Looks like a heart

Dear cousin,
I got your letter
It was more than i thought i deserved
Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of
And i dream about so much it is absurd
But when i get there and she sees me
I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming
My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
I had a thought while i was sleeping
And i dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But i go too far i guess
Maybe i'll think about tomorrow
And maybe i can get her to stay that long
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well i decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch
And if she cares about the car i drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment i arrive
'cause my kind of love is an ugly love

A knock on the door means
Hello jesus calls
A ring on the phone means
A trip to niagara falls
Daddy don't let me down this time
I'm all alone inside my mind
And it's no small thing
That i must prove to you
A late night card game
With the guys is alright
But i would rather take you
For a test drive
Daddy don't let me down this time
I'm all alone inside my mind
And it's no small thing
That i must prove to you
While i look out
On the passing fields
The sun through the bugs
On the windshield
Makes me feel
Like i
Don't matter
A knock on the door means
Hello jesus calls
A ring on the phone means

Miss o'malley didn't mean what she said
Got a heart but a head full of lead
She can dream but she never can do it
You're alright and you're gonna get through it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit
To lick your boots
Nothing harder to watch
Than an englishman
Trying to cry
Even if he can
He can dream but he never can do it
Saying you -- you're the one that blew it
People spend their days
Trying to find new ways
To put you down all over town
But they're not fit

Why don't you get me a way out of here
Buy me a ticket
A seat in the rear
'cause i'd say that daylight is time to go home
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me
Get out of here
I think that you know it's not so bad
Sitting in rust and taking a bath
But i think that i could find a new way
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me
Get out of here
Why don't you just think about it a while
Maybe i'm too much
Cramping your style
But now that it's daylight
It's time to come home
Every day
Voice in my ear
Telling me

People talking sound like dogs
Barking through the trees
Making no sense at all
Meaning nothing to me
Mother mary
Quite contrary
I did not mean to let you go
So quick
People talking crack me up
They don't have a little clue
What it's like to be me
What it's like to lose you
Mother mary
I grow weary
I did not mean to let you go
So quick
People talking sound like dogs
Barking up the wrong tree
Take a good man down
And set the evil free
Mother mary
Quite contrary
I did not mean to let you go

Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't really care
She don't like me comin' 'round
With my short greasy hair
She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away
Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't give a damn
She thinks i'm some kinda' scum
'cause i don't call her ma'am
She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away
Your stepmother hates my guts
But i won't give up yet
I want you so goddamn much
But she sure is upset
Looking down again i knock
On the door
There she is

Mother couldn't love me
But that didn't stop me
From liking her
She was my mom
And i was no son of a bitch
Daddy was a drunk
A most unpleasant man
Asleep on the floor
Just imside the front door
With a smile underneath his red nose
The wrong look his way
Well that could really wreck his day
And believe me when i say
It would wreck your day too
Grandma took me in
Though times were pretty thin
Said i was no son of a bitch
Down on my knees

Don't cry
All the songs you sing
All the flowers you bring
I'm part of everything there ever was
And will be
Go on
You've got places to be
So many things to see
Don't worry 'bout me
I'm already where i should be
Look up
A plane writes in the sky
For every passerby
No one ever dies
They just write things in the sky
If you
Wanna think about me
Look out above the sea
And you can see that I am doing

I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry
I like the seaside
And singing songs that make you not wanna die
Throw a stone into the sea
And wait for it to come back to me
Better get out on the boat
'cause someone told me that stones don't float
I like to sit out back
And look up at the squirrels in the trees
They don't like radio tracks
And they don't ever talk down to me
Throw a nut up in the tree
Gonna fall right back on me
Well these guys know who they are
And what they need is in their own backyard
I like to play in the snow
I stick my hand in now where did it go
It might be mighty cold

I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

I am a lone wolf
I always was and will be
I feel fine
I am resigned to this
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Got my cares
Wrapped-up all nice and neat
In my suitcase
I'll take it down the street
To a place with plenty of space for me
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
It blows my mind
That people wanna try to get
Inside my tired head
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Nobody needs to get too close to me
You'll only see this truth

Life goes on
Nothing is new
Judge made it clear
I can't be near you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man
Just someone who knows he's in love
I made mistakes
Everyone does
Don't know why i did
I guess just because
No one gets through to me the way that you do
Now i know i'm in love
Baby it's a little much
To never touch you
When i know i'll never
Find another love like this
Life goes on
Nothing is new
Passing the days
Thinking 'bout you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man
