Saturday
with your hand held tight
white gloves, bibles
the buzz of flys
I know that somewhere
the saints still are there
they can get together, they can talk about it
they can understand
My held held tight
my bodies aches
pressed against the weight of the gospel
i know that somewhere
the saints gather around
they watch me with wisdom and patience
i hope they understand
the summer falls like a?
my body sweats beneath her
my purpose is clearer
oh! uh-huh!
you can understand, you can understand
you can understand
I don't understand
I saw you hanging
On the arm of some other guy
Like a drummer who’s been banging
Steady beating 4/4 time
Now you’re flicking at your cigarette
Batting eyes and pouty lips
Giving him the love that I need
But I can feel those eyes
And the emptiness behind them
You don’t look so happy to me
You’re so lost
You’re so alone
And I’m standing here
I am a man of stone
You said baby, you’ll change
And I did not change
You said gimme all your lovin’
And I did every day
Now you’re tattooed on my skin
And my chest is caving in
From the weight of the pain you bring
Now you got me branded
Broken but still standing
Watching you wreck everything
You’re so lost
You’re so cold
And I’m standing here
I am a man of stone
My feet are stuck to the ground
My love has bound me here
I am standing here
I gave you my last tear
Someday you’ll wake up
And you’ll think of me and you’ll know
I am a man
A man of stone
You’re so lost
You’re so alone
And I’m standing here
I tried to wish you away
I'll do more than wishing someday
no more, no more son of a bitch
no more, no more wishing
no more, no more son of a bitch
no more happy face
You and I have nothing left to say
We'll do more than talking someday
No more, no more son of a bitch
No more, no more talking, etc
If I
Could Find
The Will
To Kill
GET IT????
Here we go again
No more, no more, etc
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So I ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, I'm just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo
I was took in Texas I did not know her name
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
Down below the border in a town in Mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free

Driftin' upward
Gently lifting
Lazy on the wind
Rollin' over
Turnin' slowly
Beginning and the end
Fire is bright
Fire is clean
Never so alive
Smoke is freedom
Flame is mercy
I am free tonight
And I burn
I burn
Stoke the embers
Cleanse the spirit
A prayer in every spark
Feel the lick of
Bad religion
The finish and the start
In the beginning
We were smarter
'n flame was heaven-sent
Through the ages
We got stupid
Now we must repent
And I burn
I burn
Save the ashes
For reminders
Stony things remain
Tooth and bone
unimpressive
I have left these things
Because fire is bright
Fire is clean
efficient and divine
Tooth and bone
Charms and dolls
I am free tonight
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I BURN
THE AIR
YOU BREATHE
I burn
I burn
Deep in the water
I made my home
Followed my lover here
But she left me all alone
She don't like it, like it like I do
Why don't you come and see me
Beneath the waves
Maybe you visit
Maybe you stay
If you like it, like it like I do
Do you like it, like it like I do
Now you go to meeting
When Sunday comes
Then you come see me
We'll have some fun
Maybe you like it, like it like I do
Out in the water
Out in the sea
I'm waiting, lover
For you to come to me
You're gonna like it, like it like I do
Do you like it, like it like I do
I am hell in high water
And I never sleep
So watch your daughters
And stay out of the deep
Unless you like it, like it like I do
Long neck, short leash
Sweet lips are black, black, black
You walk, I lead
Little tricks, stagger and fall
Heel
You're crying, well listen
This time you really were bad, bad, bad
I will show you some discipline
Yes, you will learn some respect, respect, respect
Heel
God I love you
You're so pretty
Love you, love you
Pretty, pretty
You and me you fuck [repeat 3 times]
You and me you cunt [repeat 3 times]
Cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt
hurry, hurry, woman, woman, woman
You and me you fuck [say twice]
Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars
Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you
It keeps me stable for days
In cars
Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In cars
Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
I know something about you
I know you're only seventeen
on the cover of a magazine
on the cover of a magazine
and you're so mean to me
??show me the score??
its been so long since my first kill
i imagine it happening just like this
everyday on my tv
?????????????????????????
can you show me what I need?
can I touch?
can I watch?
can you show me miss teen
show me some
yeah show me something
miss teen
show me some
yeah show me some
i see you ???
the way you move
Someday soon you will sink into the ocean
weighted down without a shame in tough guy chains
I just hope I'm somewhere I can see you sinking
watch you as you drop beneath the waves
You are my sunshine turned to cloudy sky... sky
I wonder as you're rotting at the bottom of the sea
who'll find that will cater to your wishes?
maybe you can try that smile on a lonely manta ray
I bet you can even charm the fishes
You are my sunshine turned to cloudy sky... sky
I'm gonna miss the way you laugh,
even when my jokes ain't funny,
and the way you say,
never say never
and your promises
never say never say...
and I just hope I'm somewhere I can see you sinking...
see you sinking...
see you sinking...
see you sinking...
sinker
sinker
sinker
I'm not positive, but...I think this song is about Vampyres.
I do now it's based on a story the singer heard, on a lake
when he was a kid, and the lake was call "Possum Kingdom Lake"
So at least I know where the name comes from. (its about an unsolved
murder that happened at possum kingdom lake)
Enjoy!

lyrics
------

So long lovely eyes
Somehow we have found ourselves tonight with
No more happy sighs
Hold your breath & hope for something better
We got so far away (x3)
From the fire that we started
How did we get so fucking cold
So fucking cold
So now ease your mind
All good things must have an ending, how we
Live, love, laughed & cried
But matters they seem like just a fantasy
We got so far away (x3)
From the fire that we started
How did we get so fucking cold
So fucking cold
How did we get so
How did we get so fucking
How did we get so fucking cold
Didn't I
give you everything
didn't I take you were you wanna be
didn't I make you feel just like a queen
and all that time I was getting something right
look me in the eye and tell me something
am I supposed to walk away with ?
Do I convince myself we never happened
well I decide won't be tonight
I'm getting something right
lover
you're happy now?
quitter
In coming days
the dust will cover
all the evidence of your first lover
I hope wherever you are now
you'll wake up
see just what a mess
One month ago today, I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks, to the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench to watch the children play
You know tomorrow is their future, but for me it’s just another day
They all gather round me, they seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes, but it still doesn’t ease my pain
I know I can’t hide from a memory, though day after day I’ve tried
I keep saying she’ll be back, but today again I’ve lied
Oh I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Oh I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you see her, tell me have you seen her
Why oh why did she have to leave and go away
Oh I’ve been used to having someone to lean on
And I’m lost, baby I’m lost
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Oh she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Oh I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Why oh why did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah
Oh I’ve been used to having someone to lean on
And I’m lost, baby I’m lost
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
As another day comes to an end I’m looking for a letter or something
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know I’m still a lonely man
You know, it’s funny, I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her, tell me have you seen her
I don’t have plans and schemes
And I don’t have hopes and dreams
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
I don’t have fond desires
And I don’t have happy hours
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
I don’t have happiness and I guess
I never will again
When you walked out on me
In walked the misery
And he’s been here since then
I don’t have love to share
And I don’t have one who cares
I don’t have anything
Since I don’t have you
You, you, you
You, you, you, you
Peel away your skin just a little more
You can let me in just a little more
Can you taste it, I do
When you bite down on the truth
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness
I know it hurts real bad to lay it open
I've tried so hard myself to make you love it
My love, my pride
I swallow you tonight
We can peel away just a little more
I'll cut you right down to your sweetness
Right to your sweetness
Peel away, peel away
Cut right down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down to the soul, to the center of you
I found me a home for the sinner in me
Cut down
The sinner in me
I'll eat you slow, my sweetness
You give control, my sweetness
I drink you down, my sweetness
I think I found my sweetness
Give me your hand and I will hold it forever
On my nightstand in a box with your love letters
I love you dear, and I know we will not be parted
I'll keep you near, scattered around my apartment
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Give me your hair, just a lock will do
An old photograph to capture the spirit of you
And I'll keep these things wrapped up in an old cotton blouse
The one you wore that summer before your love petered out
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Laid on my bed
A beautiful mess
My whole world
Jigsaw girl
You gave me your hand
You gave me your hand
I don't understand why you don't want it back
This is not the same world you lived in
And I could breathe easier once I brought you back again
You are not the same girl you had been
I promised I'd never lose you
Never heard you say goodbye
Read your letter, made me cry
Saw you with another guy
Never one to waste your time
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above
Saw you with that other man
Feathered hair and tall and tan
Treat him like I know you can
Stroke his cheek and hold his hand
You're in love, you're in love
Hell below me, stars above
Stars above are shining down
Nothing ever gonna hurt me now
And I slip away happy as a clam
Stars above are smiling now
Ever since you put me down
And I close my eyes, and I can't see your face
I come from the water
I crawled upon the shore
I left my brothers there
I got what I came for
I sucked that hot air in
And rolled upon the sand
And burned beneath the sun
To be a man
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water yeah
I come from the water
That weren't no easy thing
It's more than nature
It's like my destiny
I stood upon these legs
And held my head up high
Emerged beneath the sun
To start a new life
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water yeah
Life in the desert, just to be together
The sand forever, the same forever
It moves beneath me, it pulls my body
My pulse beats hotter, so far from the water
I love to see the sun
In spite of all it's done
I pray for shade and rain
I pray to live again
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
I come from the water
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I come from the water
I come from the water
If this is a dream I'm happy you're having it with me
I will stay and savor the way you move me
Don't want to miss one detail, one sweet smile from your lips
One kiss sets me adrift
Chase the stars as they fall down and light up where you are
They are yours for the keeping
Trace the curves of the sheets
A riddle of desire when I watch you sleeping
You say you’re never coming out
Once you get inside your daddy’s house
Well, you got nothing to cry about
So how ‘bout you just shut your pretty mouth
C’mon
Well, your daddy lives up on the hill
Where he lights up all his pretty things
He don’t know I got the key, baby
I think I’ll go and have myself a peek
Now listen
What you’re daddy done for you
He’s gonna do for me too
You got no need for tears
You got no need to pout
You got nothing to cry about
The lights are off so take the key
And take a little walk with me
If you wanna have some fun
Baby, show me daddy’s gun
Well, what your daddy done for you
He’s gonna do for me too
And if you want some
You better get it now
You got nothing to cry about
What your daddy done for you
He’s gonna do for me too
So shut your pretty mouth
And put your foot down
You got nothing to cry about
What your daddy done for you
He’s gonna do for me too
I set you free now
Let’s burn the fucking town
Maybe I didn’t love you
As often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
As good as I should have
If I made you feel low, second best
Girl I’m sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
And give me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I’ll keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Follow my love, from coast to coast
Chase bad demons, chase some ghosts
And when I wound up face in the sea
Heard the waves crashing, laughing at me
I waded into that icy black
I saw there was no, no coming back
No deliverance (x4)
Dunk my head under, started to drift
Let the tide take me and down I went
I saw great wonders, saw it from above
I saw black monster twisted in love
No deliverance (x4)
And then I saw her, bathed in light
A host of angels, no doubt a sight, she said
You have forsaken all you believe
Crossed earth and oceans to be with me
And I’ll be your lover, I’ll be your rack
And now you’re never coming back
We're coming home on a plane crash
We trip away through the night
We're breaking up on impact
We'll bring it to you live
We're creeping into your living room
We're crawling into your bed
We're taking you all back to school
We're bringing you our dead
We found a friend in Jesus
Via sattelite
He says there's nothing to regret
Just bring it to me live
We're itching, we need it
Your broken, your bleeding
We're living, we're learning
We're watching you burning
And I know I'm indestructible
And I know I'm indestructible tonight
Break down, come on and tell me its not true
It's a shakedown, come on and tell me who are you
It's so fake now, everything I see right through
I'm ashamed now to say I ever knew you
See the Great Athenians, man they're not even from Athens
And the kid from Avenue A, man he ain't even from Manhattan
And nothing is what it seems so I'll just stand here laughing
And I'm gonna keep on goin' though, I can't get distracted
And I know I'm indestructible
And I know I'm indestructible tonight
Playback, rock and roll come and save me
It's a safe bet that you will never ever betray me
And I'll give back everything that you gave me
And I know that no one can ever ever contrain me
And I won't get bogged down like some American consumer, nah
I'm dancing now to a whole different drummer
And I'll keep listening to the great Joe Strummer
We're comin home on a plane crash,
We'll trip our way through the night.
We're breakin up on impact,
We'll bring it to you live, yeah.
Religion, we need it, wow
You're broken, you're bleedin, yeah.
We're livin, we're livin, wow.
We're watchin you burnin.
We know what we really want,
We know what we really want.
We're creepin into your living room,
We're climbin into your bed.
We're takin you all back to school,
We're bringin you our dead, yeah.
Religion, we need it, wow,
You're broken, you're bleedin, yeah
We're livin, we're livin, wow,

Religion, we need it, wow,
You're broken, you're bleedin, yeah
We're livin, we're livin, wow,
We're watchin you burnin, yeah.
We know what we really want,
We know what we really want,
To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You put your back into it
You get your head around it
To find the fast track to enlightenment
You must cleanse your mind and body
You must get your head around it
Must get your head around it
You want to be ringside, or in there swinging
You want the grand prize
You must get your head around it
Let's get your head around it
You want the last laugh
You want the victory lap
You want the finer things
You want the brass ring
You must get your head around it
To get a leg up you must put your foot down
You roll your sleeve up
You get your head around it
Shut down the disease, brush it aside and stand up off your knees
Tip the scales, spin me some horrible, beautiful tales
Now you're weak, and you're tired and lonely
You can't see what could be yours for keeps all the while
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
Everything we have we steal
Run your fingers over me
Pull away the skin, uncover the disease
With a weakness and a tenderness we kiss
Consuming each other all over again
You can take what you want
But you're not so nice any more
And she runs through her days
With a smile on her face
And she runs and she waits
And I wait
We can drive to any place
Day and night to cross the state
And in the morning into Mexico
We will wake up
We will wake up
We will, oh yeah, yeah
I'll be with her yeah
I find a window in the kitchen and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch and her anxious breath
I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight, yeah
I will be with her tonight
I will be with her tonight, yeah yeah
I will be with her tonight
I will be with her, yeah yeah
I will be with her, yeah yeah
I’m giving up on you
How could I ever call you mine
You’re too pretty, too simple, too easy
You’re just a waste of time, yeah
And I won’t miss you when you’re gone
You never move me anyway
I wanna wish you all the best and send you off
I hope somebody finds you entertaining
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You know it gets so hard, so hard to keep moving on
Through all your petty little changes
Sometimes I wish I could just close my eyes
Wish you away
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I (x3)
You’re the song I hate
I tried so hard to change you to make you
Something I could enjoy
But you insist on just acting the plaything
You’re just a toy, just a toy
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I (x3)
You’re the song that I hate
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
You’re the song I hate
But I can’t let go
Yeah
The song that I hate
Are you gonna save me
Can you save me
You're gonna make me happy
You're gonna make me smile
Can you save me
Tell me Mister Love
(through megaphone): We're gonna show you a thing or to about love, be patient, be
Wish I could tell you
The way that I feel
I know that I failed you
So I make my appeal
I just want to give you
A little piece of mind
The two roads that got us here
And what did we find
We've both been blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding the fire inside
I will wait patiently
And expect no reply
I've got my answer already
I see it in your eye
So I'll just give you my love
If you return in kind
I just hope that's enough for you and that we
Have a little more time
Are we still blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding that fire inside
I wish I could tell you
The way that I feel
I know that I failed you
So I make my appeal
I wish I could tell you
What's on my mind
But my heart won't let me be so cold
So honest and unkind
Are we still blind
Are we still blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding the fire inside
So this is
The way that I feel
And I forgive you
You say forever
And I confess I shiver
You say hope
I say that's where I'm goin'
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
If I'm out hunting
Come right on in, yeah
And even when I'm gone
My doors are always open
And if I'm asleep
Make sure my blanket covers me, yeah
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
When i'm away
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
I guess I left myself wide open
I guess I earned that weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I know you saw, you saw it coming
Well, I saw it coming, too
Now with eyes all over you
I can't help but wonder
What we'll do under that weight, that weight
Take the bait
Take, take, take
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
Where's my friend, I need a hero now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Lips and cheek and full of drink and tell me what I said
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Never guessed the cost, the waste
Just a taste is all I wanted
It's been a long time, a long time coming
But this is how we make or break
Take, take, take
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
What the hell we stepping into now
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away
Pinch and wink and full of drink and shoulder to the weight
Feel that weight, feel that weight pushing down
I thought I knew you, I thought I knew myself
Can I push that hand away, push that hand away...
Swimming in pride, my sweet thing
It's such a pretty night for losing
Our innocence, Our tenderness
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
Swinging your hips, you found out
It's easy as sin to put me down
Don't roll your eyes
Don't breathe a sigh
You're not so shy
So help me, now you know you're a free soul
And you can't fight that little sin
So hard to wait just for a kiss
Now we're the same, we're all regret
No tenderness
No innocence
It's all been kissed away
And now you know you're a free soul
Give me back control, give me back control, give me back
Think I'm losing hold, think I'm losing hold, think I'm losing
Because the house caught fire, in the summer of the strange
And the smoke went higher, and we lost our way
And I really don't, really don't, really don't know where we going, yeah
So give me back control, give me back control, give me back
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange
Give me back control
So do I get down?
Rolling round on the floor
Do I fake proud?
Make you out like a heart
Do I break down?
Come in crying your door
Do I break down? Break down?
Because the days grow dark in the summer of the summer of the strange
And the air got heavy, but the sky won't rain
And I really don't, really don't, really don't know what is coming, yeah
So give me back control, give me back control, give me back
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange
The sky won't rain
Never be the same
In the summer of the strange
In the summer of the strange
And now it's late night
And I'm waiting for the sunup
But the daylight, it never comes around
So I hold tight
Onto the one I'm loving
I got no fight, and I've never been so down
Give me back control, give me back control, give me back
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange
Never be the same
In the summer of the strange
Make up your mind
Decide to walk with me
Around the lake tonight
Around the lake tonight
By my side
By my side
I'm not gonna lie
I'll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret
I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...
Don't be afraid
I didn't mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
I can promise you
You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever
Make up your mind
Make up your mind
And I'll promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
(hey, hey, hey)
Give it up to me
Give it up to me
Do you wanna be
My angel?
So help me!
Be my angel
Be my angel
Do you wanna die?
I promise you
I will treat you well
My sweet angel
So help me, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
What was I before you
Just another guy who never knew
The right time from the wrong
His left foot from his right
Who’d sleep all day and hang around all night
Before you
Who was I, just the joker in the crowd
If I’d make them laugh how proud I would be
Though the jokes were all on me
Now it’s you and me
You and me
And the world’s a better place
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
What a change love can bring
Put a different light on everything
An ordinary day is filled with something new
And suddenly I feel that I can do anything
You, my love, are the meaning of my life
You’re the reason and the rhyme of my life
I’m so grateful you’re mine
Now it’s you and me
You and me
And the world’s a better place
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
You and me
On the outside she looks so peaceful
with her eyes shuut tight against all evil
and her shoulders drop like a failed messiah
and all her fears rejoice inside her
So she rolls out into the sunlight
and her daddy tells her she'll be alright
but he don't look at her and he don't smile
he whispers a prayer to ease his mind
when she gets home no one says a word
her mama's cryin' doesn't notice her
she turns the lock on the bedroom door
she finds the answer and takes one more
and one more and one more and one more
My love you're so beautiful
Like a flower
I want to touch you, to kiss you
To feel your power
Sweet thing you fill my heart
With hope, love and desire
You're my flower
Sweet thing talk to me now
Are you thinking what I'm thinking
I wanna know your name, I wanna know everything
I wanna know the secrets that you're keeping
I wanna know where you go, I wanna know where you live
I wanna know what you look like when you're sleeping
Come on baby take it easy
Stop following me around
I know you don't believe me
But you don't want to take the road I'm down
There's no pretty way to find out
And no promise you'll be OK
Just give me your word now
Baby say you won't go my way
Don't go my way
You don't want to be lonely
You don't want to see the things I've seen
And if you learn one lesson only
Baby listen stay away from me
In the middle of a house, in the middle of nowhere
Bodies glide from room to room
I hate these walls
They speak to me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family
Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And when it's over
He takes her hand, and he kisses her cheek
She's a doll, oh yeah she's his spitting image
Where have you gone
You're still a part of me
Hey skin like a doll
You're no friend of the family
Catch that light
It falls in suble patterns
It crawls in and tells them when their time is up
And now it's over
Where have you gone
Bended knee
Nine years old
Waiting for
just one word
I was thinking of all the things my daddy told me of
sin and salvation, manhood and dignity
all that time in the dark, just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I remember the day I stepped into the water
my daddy held me in his hands and pushed my head under
and said: "Son I am so proud" just one word: BACKSLIDER!
I opened my eyes my daddy held me in his hands
I looked up to the water thought I saw Jesus there
then, I threw up my hands and I heard a man and prayed
Give me back my legs
I want to walk like I did
You stole away my breath floating over my head
Do you lead me on with your fingers across my back, well
When I drag you down you will sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor
And as I'm falling out of the sun, back to where I feel safe again
How did I come undone trying to save my own skin
I want to be your hero
I want to show you the good fight
I want to touch your face before you sink like an anchor
You will, like an anchor
You'll come down on my side
You'll come down in good time
You'll come down on my side
In a shady place I dig a hole
To sow the seeds of this brave soul.
I strain my back,
while mother earth
commenced the pain of giving birth.
Like perverts words
I'm strung together.
To make some pervert god feel better
My hopes and my sins,
cannot erase this
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
If I get home I'll kiss the ground,
and curse the hopes that held me down.
If I get home I'll tend the fields
Caress the earth beneath my heals.
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
In a shady place I dig a hole.
To sow the seeds of this brave soul.
Beneath the tree it's old as sin
I return to work again
I turn the stones
from earth's embrace
With the sweat and tears upon my face
My hopes and my sins
or the many years
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
You said honey...
I sent you 400 bucks
So you could buy some car
Well I loved you so much
I didn't get too far
For my 400 bucks
You were sweet that day
I guess that I should've known
That you'd never repay
400 bucks, 400 bucks
And you don't give a fuck
About my 400 bucks
A '57 sedan
And it's a mom and pop car
And now your old boyfriend's back
My only friends's at the bar
400 bucks, 400 bucks
And you don't give a fuck
About my 400 bucks
You got a new puppy dog
Threw your cat on the street
And now we're both fucked
Without my 400 bucks
400 bucks, 400 bucks
And you don't give a fuck
About my 400 bucks
"Remember when you said, Honey,
Someday that car is gonna look so good in front of our house."
BITCH!! I want my 400 dollars!
I want my 400 dollars and I want it now!
