I get high off the sun set
I waste my time singin' love songs
I buy my lover in a magazine
she is all I need
to get me asleep tonight
I send my screams to the dark sky
I use my pain as an alibi
I breath deep off of desert wind
contained within
her carriage corn fed sight(?)
cause I'm american psychopath
I'm goin' home to watch bloodbath
I can watch it on my TV screen
it is all I need
to get me asleep tonight
I like the feeling of light beer
and potato skins
so put before my nose
I get the feeling of sour cream
and razorblades
deep inside my clothes
wearin' shoes that are too tight
and friday sunday night polyester
american psychopath
oh mama yes I am
everybody knows
she got a dress like a radio
she got a voice like an echo
she got shoes like cinderblocks
with white socks
and cock fight polka-dots bright
I watch her eyes like a TV set
and she connects me to the outlet
the soft admission of cold electric into my veins
it's like a ripe and reddening sunset
american psychopath
I'm goin' home to watch bloodbath
I can watch it on my TV screen
it is all I need
to get me asleep tonight
I'm american psychopath
oh mama yes I am

I can't give you all that love
But I'll give you all I have
I can't shoot you with my gun
But I'll hit you with my baseball bat
I can't give you red, red wine
But you can share my 40 with me
I can't buy you a seven-course dinner
But I'll make you some fettuccine
Well, do you understand my pain?
I don't wanna cause no trouble
Do you understand my brain?
It takes pain and makes it double
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't seem,
Lord, to do much of anything right
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Take you out on Saturday night
I can't promise you that I'll win for sure
If it comes to a fight
All I can do is say I love you
If that'll make you feel alright
I can't give you all that love
But I'll give you all I have
I can't shoot you with my gun
But I'll hit you with my baseball bat
I can't give you red, red wine
But you can share my 40 with me
I can't buy you a three-course dinner
But I'll make you some fettuccine
Chorus:
Well, do you understand my pain?
I don't wanna cause no trouble
Do you understand my brain?
It takes pain and makes it double
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't seem,
Lord, to do much of anything right
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Take you out on Saturday night, right?
I can't promise you that I'll win for sure
If it comes to a fight
All I can do is say I love you
If that'll make you feel alright
If that'll make you feel alright

Well John and the neighbors talk about fire
Outside the old front door.
A girl says please "Would you put down the phone?"
And stamps her feet for more.
Bobby's in the fridge looking pensive.
He says "My your beer looks expensive,
You don't even drink it man.
Who'd you buy it for?"
And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
Well you probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?
Well I look like a poet and I don't even know it
Until somebody tells me so.
He said "Hey Tom Sawyer, how's your lawyer?"
I said "Rich, far as I know."
He said "Hey Hemingway man what do you say?
Why you look so glum for?"
I said "The basket and the dryer don't line up right,
And all my clean clothes fall on the floor."
And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
Well you probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?
Well I found a genie in a lamp when the weather was
damp in 1984,
But I kept it to myself
And I put it on a shelf
Because I didn't know what to wish for.
In 1999 the weather was fine and they said the world
was gonna end,
So I rubbed that lamp,
And I made a little wish,
And we all woke up again.
And I said what you gonna do when your dream comes
true? Huh?
You probably won't have nothing more to say.
What you gonna do when your dream comes true,
If I make your dream come true for you?
Will you tell me that you'll go away?
If I make your dream come true for you today?
If I make your dream come true for you today?

Sister Jeanie came from Oklahoma
She left when they tried to stone her
Her mother, she tried to disown her
She said she'd always been a loner
Well the other day she wrote me a letter
In which she asked me, please, to never forget her
She said if things get any better
She'll be dead by late September
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
I remember the day we got talking
She had a brother uptown, I had called him
She picked up the phone, said "Come on over
"I'm a coffee girl and queen in Harlem"
(Spoken) Well, that's exactly what she said
So I reached into my pocket for a token
And went and caught that train
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
Little sister, just so you know
Little girl, I love'a you so
If I never hear your voice go
I just listen for the wind
When I found out, she was already miles away
Eighteen years, and eighteen wheels on that old highway
And in her letter that I recieved just yesterday
She said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
You know she said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"
Oh, she said "Pray for me, papa, that we all don't just fade away"

The first time I saw your face I felt regret,
it wasn't the first time we had met.
But since then, I've been taking care of business,
Yeah, since then I've been taking care of business.
The first time I saw your face I sang this song,
The first time we had kissed, well it was wrong.
But since then, I've been taking care of business,
Yeah, since then I've been taking care of business.
When will it end!
I can't see when,
I can't see how.
They're unimportant details to me now.
They're unimportant details to me now.
'Cause 'til then, I'll be taking care of business.
Yeah 'til then, I'll be taking care of business.
Can I say,
what could I do?
Do I expect,
too much from you?
To hear the words that haven't been quite said.
Upon words that haven't been quite said.
'Til then, I'll be taking care of business.
Yeah 'til then, I'll be taking care of business.
Until then, I'm gonna take care of business.

I don't know exactly what you want from me
and if what you want from me, she seem like a lot
but I'm sure you won't get what you want from me
cause what you want from me, I'm sure that ain't got
I don't know exactly what you get from me
whatever it is I'm sure we'll both be surprised
but if you should say that you got what she want
then I --- no watch you look like when you lie
lies here they come
lies everyone
so that you imagine life beyond the bar
with champagne and caviar would be supplied
no I couldn't tell you why you came this far
out here to where we are just to run and hide
hide here they come
hide from everyone
and now I can't believe
the feeling when you leave
forever I'll explain
the feeling that remains
so if you should tell me that your love is real
and all of the things you feel just can't be denied
well at least i'll have your pretty words of gold
and history will unfold and show if you lie
lies here they come
lies everyone
I said lies baby here they come
baby here they come

I stood outside like a fool
In the night air with you
And with a face much like a prong
Or electric chair I had on
I listened with ears that didn't
Make no mistake this time
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
Left my love in California
Baby, I ain't seen it since
When you said your word to me
I said "Thank you", now I see
Now I really understand
Just what's a woman and what's a man
You now you can't be true
Sometimes when it hurts you too
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
Left my love in California
Baby, I ain't seen it since
When I said I'd see you round
You said, baby, oh, you said "Wow"
Ain't I dramtic? Well, yeah, you bet
Because I ain't seen you yet
So when you see me, say hello
Say it long, say it slow
Say it like, "Hello"
Maybe your surprise will show
Yes, I hope you is surprised
When I just walk right on by
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
Left my love in California
Baby, I ain't seen it since
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
Left my love in California
Baby, I ain't seen it since
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
Left my love in California
Baby, I ain't seen it since
Baby, I aint'
Baby, I aint'
Baby, I ain't seen it since
When they say they try to warn ya
Lord, they just try to convince
When they say they try to warn ya

No there's nothing sweet in this man's world
As an innocent girl
And the's nothing sweeter in this whole world
Than an innocent girl
Well, you know I like that way she walks
'Cause she's an innocent girl
And I can tell by the way she talks
That she's an innocent girl
And all the stories about her and they say...
She'll punch you in the face as soon as
You ask her name
And the's nothing sweet in this whole world
As an innocent girl
No the's nothing sweeter in this whole world
Than an innocent girl
I know that she talks so tough
But she's an innocent girl
She's proven to me enough
That she's an innocent girl
I hear you like the clothes she wears
She's an inocent girl
She knows that she couldn't care
She's an innocent girl
Here she comes, baby, there she goes
Blood upon her fist where she...
Broke your nose
No there's nothing sweet in this man's world
As an innocent girl
And the's nothing good in this whole world
Like an innocent girl
Nothing sweet in this man's world
As an innocent girl

Don’t you wanna be
So important?
No wanna be
So annoying
Nosy, nosy
Quiet priet
Chorus:
Little girl
I wanna be your sidewalk stalker
Tree City, USA (x2)
Don’t you wanna hang out
Smoking
Hang around the high schools
In the suburbs
I’ll be such a loser
Now that it’s a fashion
Chorus x2
I saw you riding in your BMW
Yeah, you looked pretty drivin’
Yeah, I’ll follow you
You in the driveway, me in the street
Three O'Clock sidewalk, all
Chorus x2
Five point two
Heart of blue
Skin so tight
Red and white
I’m so green
I tell

International war criminal
Infromation, it's critical
Weapons of destruction
They are gasoline and petroleum
And are you stickin' 'round to see what happens?
Are you stickin' 'round to see what happens?
When I was young all them teachers taught me
In the old books that their Cold War bought me
They said like dominos this whole wide world could
Fall to pieces like they wish that old Middle East
would
Chorus:
But international war criminal
Information is minimal
The weapons of destruction
They are gasoline and petroleum
And are you stickin' 'round to see what happens?
Are you stickin' 'round to see what happens?
I heard they found one in a hole, man
White lights crawlin' on his brown skin
But ain't it shameful just being human?
No, it's old as original sin that white light's always
creepin' in
Chorus:
And international war criminal
Situation is pitiful
The weapons of destruction
They're just gasoline and petroleum
Will you stick around to see what happens?
Are you stickin' around to see what happens?
International rules of war are spoken
When it suits someone to have them broken
It's funny how they go on definin' "terror"
As killing and destroyin' things to force your own
agenda
International war criminal
Infromation, it's critical
Weapons of destruction
They are gasoline and petroleum
Will you stick around to see what happens?
Will you stick around to see what happens?
Chorus:
But international war criminal
Situation it's pitiful
The weapons of destruction
Are gasoline and petroleum

Well that night, there in the hollow
I've seen all, I could see
I had drunk all I could swallow
When She Said, When she said
These words to me
She said have you seen your Brother, oh with whom you have Grown?
And I said "Last I seen Mother, he was down on the shore line all alone"
Singing if this night, could last forever
If you was the last i see
Well i couldn't, Couldn't ask for better
If this night, if this night, could last forever
Well death is truly daylights Daughter
Much as the wind is to the sea
When we found him down by the water
He was smiling and he was almost free
Singing if this night, could last forever
If you was the last i see
Well i couldn't, Couldn't ask for better
If this night, if this night, could last forever
I sat long, down in the hollow
Whiskey bottle in my boot
I watch the sun come Upon the water
There behind my shoeless foot
Singing if this night could last forever
If you was the last I see
Well i couldn't, I Couldn't ask for better
If this night, if this night, could last forever

things fall to pieces and I'm happy about it
happy about it
happy about it
hear the people screaming in their respective houses
respective houses
respective mouses
I don't need to die in your field of green no
I don't really care a lot
I don't know exactly what you've seen but
I'm at peace in your parking lot
I don't spend my summer times waiting for sunshine
I like the nighttime
I see my own line
there inside the blue and rising summer moonlight
a blinking blue light
in your room right
I don't need to die ‘neath your castle wall or
tears you cry for Camelot
well I would be surprised if I cared at all cause
I'm at peace in your parking lot
set your moses on mountains high
ravens crying nevermore
point my feet at some grand ravine but
i've seen more in your dresser drawer
wouldn't state my reasons just to have you hate me
so irate and
so exterior
if you should discover then lord please remember
I'm a member of
nothing in particular
I don't need to die for your royal grace or
wars on economic thought
no I didn't show just to run your race man
I'm at peace in your parking lot
father loses everything he's worked his life for
so chalk another up
to experienced
thoughtless and breathless falls the grand appearance
keep aware of
who's moving near us
I don't need to die in his field of green no
I don't really care a lot
would it be so wrong just to say that all I
want is peace in your parking lot
I'm at peace in your parking lot

Well there's a house on the corner that's yellow
And nobody lives inside
I think somebody tried to sell it
Oh, but nobody wanted to buy
So in come mean old winter
And in come father time
And in come the bad old summer
And nothing else here rhymes
Chorus:
Because the animals run the house
The animals run the house
I said the animals run the house
I said the animals run the house
You know the postman come by
And he said "Man, I'm leavin'"
The meter man went inside
And he just ran out screamin'
Crazy mary said "Let's go drink a beer, man"
I said "Nah, nah I don't wanna go in there"
I said "It don't feel right man,
It feels it's some kind of sin, now"
Chorus
And then a cat walked up to me, man
And he looked at me and he said "Meow"
And the dog cam up and he looked and me and he went "Rrrrr"
And deep down, they were whisperin', man
Behind their little eyes, they were sayin'...
They were sayin'...
Free:
"Well, come in ant and mouse
Come in dog and monkey
Come in, oh man
It may seem unresolved and funky
You may feel all wrong
Man, you may feel all wrong now"
And they said, "Vic, if you do
It's 'cause you don't belong, now"
Chorus
Free:
And then all of a sudden, man
I started thinkin' to myself, man
Oh, things seem strange in there, they seem wrong
Nobody's payin' taxes in there, man
Nobody's got electric
Nobody's watchin' the TV set, man
Everything's, like...
There ain't no floors, man, that's just dirt
The walls are all grimy
It's almost like...
Nature, or something, in there man
And there were snakes in the floor
There were earthworms in the couch
There was amoebas on the bed
There was... There was... On the doorknob
There were spiders in the walls
There was rats on in the bed
There was a lemur in the old TV set
And there's a big bullfrog in the head
And there's a big bullfrog in the head
And there's a big bullfrog in the head
And there's a big bullfrog in the head

Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other night
All the old folks in your closet, all the spiders tucked in tight
I don't need no family doctor - I don't want your Caroline
I will kill your Californian, but I love to hear you whine
Sometimes you got to get away, got to get away, got to get out
Well your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other night
Said your junkie parents jinxed me when they got right on the train
What quiet, sweaty kids they had with soft, demented brains
I try hard to edge forward, but I could not stand the magnet-puller
Junkie, whining, contemplating – Comments just an order for me
Junkie, junkie robo-funky, do you wanna see my monkey?
Bouncing like a bouncer baby ball inside your junkie mamma
Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other night
All the old folks in your closet, all the spiders tucked in tight
I don't need no family doctor - I don't want your Caroline
I will kill your Californian, but I love to hear you whine
Sometimes you got to get away, got to get away, got to get out
Well your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other night
Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other night

Sit me down and make me sigh
Won't you tell me, sister, why it's true
That it all comes back for you
Sit me down and make me smile
Turn my teardrops for a while into
Another shade of blue
Chorus:
So I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Sit me down and make me eat
Tell me sister, why your meat's so sweet
As your song is tender
Lie me down and make me sleep
Tell me why these poor eyes love to weep
Because I can't remember
Chorus:
But I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Take my shoes, make me walk
Don't you know my feet, they're pretty soft
See, I'm a city boy
Tie me tight and watch me drown
And hang my picture from a post in town
That says Missing since July
Chorus:
So I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Instrumental Interlude
Chorus:
Oh yes, I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Sit me down, make me drink
Now I know why I so fear to blink
To prove I was not dreamin'
Whiskey red and coffee blue
California deja vu and you
And the last day I believed in
Chorus:
But I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Yes, I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say

I Waited long when there was no one there for me
I held your hand down there when no one else could see, kissed you lips and with them i swore i'd always be there for your vacant stare
When i said these words, i thought you may have wept, that dreamin was the only reason that i slept
and boredom was the only company i kept, except
for your vacant stare
thanks but i'm aware of all the things im not
thanks for the television memories i got
suffice to say our chemistry was simply hot air
and your vacant stare
so excepting evil is just as it does
I promised i'd be all i could be just because
but thought i looked this hard i found the cubbert was bare
but for your vacant stare
but for your vacant stare

Do you Remember those lonely nights together?
More than our sweet days, our sweet days in the sun
Do you remember those night went on forever?
Honey I remember Everyone
Remember Walking home from the Park?
You yelled at me about my Porno mags, in front of my sister
Remember all those nights we had such a ball?
Yeah putting my Fist through the wall, really makes such a blister
Do you Remember those lonely nights together?
More than our sweet days, our sweet days in the sun
Do you remember those night went on forever?
Honey I remember Everyone
Remember you through my Guitar at my head?
It came pretty fast down the stairs, you're lucky your not Dead
Remember you through my clothes out the Window?
Sometimes it's really clear that way, to see which way the wind blows
Do you Remember those lonely nights together?
More than our sweet days, our sweet days in the sun
Do you remember those night went on forever?
Honey I remember Everyone, honey I remember everyone
Do you remember that time you know?
I remember that time
I Guess it's not all bad Memories is it?
ah Maybe? ha ha
ah Maybe?

When all your good intentions,
they just leave you feeling old
And your latest inventions
have all left you feeling cold
When it's then the gypsie says, "come on
over man, have no fear"
She says "Daddy died last year, and I wish he were here"
So all your grand ambitions,
they're doing what they're told.
Down at the bottom of the river,
where the old white fingers scald
They say the women dug this river,
they filled it with their tears
And daddy died last year, I wish he were here.
So if you want to see me,
I'm at the bottom of the stair,
It's the place where no one looks for me,
It's the place where no one dares,
And if you think the times have been changin',
Well it's anywhere but here.
See, daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.
So the congressmen and the concubines
Are all happy in their cage,
And the women who surround them,
They're all cute and underage,
They say "At least we'll be remembered",
Screamin' "Revolution's near!"
And daddy died last year, well I wish he were here.
So the lawyers, they come bleedin' me
With papa's old harpoon.
They hold it in a glove,
Made of his barren woman's womb.
And she said, she wants my bones,
To decorate his tomb,
See, daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.
oh and daddy died last year, and I wish he were here.

You should've seen the doctor
First time that he tried
He held his head frustrated,
Squinted up his eyes
He said "I couldn't make it through, son
"No I just couldn't get through"
I'm gonna send you to the hospital,
See what thay can do
Well the hospital had doctors,
pretty nurses too
I said "I took the taxi bleeding, mister,
"Tell me what to do"
They said, "Let's take a minute...
"Have a seat, sir, if you will.
"Let our first consideration
"Be for who will pay the bill"
They walked my past the rugs
The doctor donned his scubs
They laid me on the table, baby
I called out for drugs
When I woke up later
The pain was not too big
I sat up on that table and said
"Get me to the gig"
Well, the doc said, "Not so fast"
He said, "Let up off the gas
"Our tubes are made of plastic now,
"They've discontinued glass
"And our plastic tubing is not all that's been replaced"
What he told me next, people
Took the colour from my face
Well he showed me an x-ray
of my spine, begun to sag
The picture of my insides
looked like an old brown bag
And into my left kidney he put a crazy plastic straw
I asked him for some semen
To put in my glass jar
He said, "I'd love to abide
"But alas, my hands are tied"
He wrote me out prescriptions
to make the pain subside
He said, "You know that plastic straw
"Sure fits you like a wig"
He shook my hand and he said,

Clandestine, I could never be your boyfriend
You took too serious the things I said in passing
My pebbles of confusion you took like boulders and comandments
Never realisin' I had no understandin'
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
Clandestine, you find it much too easy
To keep secrets from me for your own protection
And this is something I, too, do inadvertant
But Clandestine you're supposed to be better than me
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
Clandestine, I just wanna thank you
You put me places that I may not have gone
I went to the Chinese doctor, he said my yin's deficient
He said my yang's sufficient, you said "I should have known"
Clandestine, oh Clandestine
I may go straight to hell
You may say "Just as well"
And no, I never meant to do no wrong
And I never meant to do ya any harm
You know I never meant to do no wrong

I don't wanna go outside today (I don't wanna)
Right here honey is where I wanna stay (I don't wanna)
Right here inside my bed
With a little black bullet inside my head
I don't wanna go outside today (I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna hear your words no more (I don't wanna)
One more lip and I'll go out the door (I don't wanna)
Whether it's me or you that goes
One thing that I surely know is
Is I don't wanna hear your mouth no more (I don't wanna, I don't wanna)
I don't wanna do your work for you (I don't wanna)
I got more important things to do (I don't wanna)
I ain't doin' it for my hell
When you take all the credit for yourself
I don't wanna do your work for you (I don't wanna)
No, don't wanna (I don't wanna)
No, don't wanna (I don't wanna)
No, don't wanna (I don't wanna)
No, don't wanna (I don't wanna)

Bobby Said the times were a Changing
Now they're sitting in my blind spot waiting
Beeping their horns, coming on fast
I changed lanes or Otherwise Crash
Tell me mister what do you know?
You tell me that things are moving to slow
Cause all I see is the Stoplight Red
Nothing moving dead up a head
Everything explodes theirs no survivors
I'm in the car there ain't no Driver
My lips moving in anticipation
There's always something in my blindspot waiting
Tell me mister what do you know?
You tell me that things are moving to slow
Cause all I see is the Stoplight Red
Nothing moving dead up a head
Everything explodes theirs no survivors
I'm in the car there ain't no Driver
My lips moving in anticipation
There's always something in my blindspot waiting
There's always something in my
There's always something in my
There's always something in my blindspot waiting
There's always something in my
There's always something in my
There's always something in my blindspot waiting
There's always something in my
There's always something in my

I was born a loser, and as far as I can tell
I was born to lose you, I'll admit that pretty well
But I'm at least obstruction as I'm ringin' on your bell
There in the lights on Saturday night, well
Be good to me, 'cause far as I can see, you can
Never know, Where we might be down the road
And I'll remember, I'll remember
Yes I will remember
Oh how mean and nasty you were
I may not ammount to nothing you would like to know
And I may like to count the fingers wrapped around my throat
But I may have and ace that you would really like to see
There in the lights on Saturday night, well
Be good to me, 'cause far as I can see, you can
Never know, Where we might be down the road
And I'll remember, I'll remember
Yes I will remember
Oh how mean and nasty you were
You picked me up, just so you could walk me on down
The crooked stares, I recieved from you and your friends
There at the house, starin' like some elephant who
Sees a mouse, pullin' on that guillotine string
You and I went places I did not expect to go
You had showed me faces I did not expect I'd know
But you threw me in traffic that was anything but slow
Out at the light on Saturday night, well
Be good to me, 'cause far as I can see, you can
Never know, Where we might be down the road
And I'll remember, I'll remember
Yes I will remember
Oh how mean and nasty you were
Oh, how mean and nasty you were
Oh, how mean and nasty you were

Oh, my baby, yes, it's true
I've been a lonely man for you
Oh, my baby, it's no lie
Without you I'd surely die
They don't know but I can see
They tried to take you away from me
But they don't know what I do
I been a lonely man for you
Blindfolds that they put on me
Make them think that I can't see
All the tricks they try to do
Just to keep me away from you
Let them, let them think they can
'Cause I'm just a little man
But they don't know what I do
I been a lonely man for you
Chorus:
Now what could I say
With you gone away
And some wish that you would
But that don't do me no good
What could I do
Baby, without you
Bullet, bomb, gun or knife
To keep you in my life
Good Lord, it's a dreadful sin
This kind of world I'm living in
Papers don't tell me no news
Make the chices I should choose
First they said that we are free
Self-contained in apathy
Good Lord, it's technology
That tries to take you away from me
Chorus:
Now what could I say
With you gone away
And some wish that you would
But that don't do me no good
What could I do
Baby, without you
Bullet, bomb
Gun or knife
To keep you in my life
Oh, my baby, yes, it's true
I've been a lonely man for you
Good Lord knows that yes, it's true
I've been a lonely man for you
I'm so lonely, oh so lonely
I've been a lonely man for you
So lonely, so lonely, Lord I'm so lonely

Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other
night
All the old folks in your closet, all the spiders
tucked in tight
I don’t need no family doctor - I don’t want your
Caroline
I will kill your Californian, but I love to hear you
whine
Sometimes you got to get away, got to get away, got to
get out
Well your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the
other night
Said your junkie parents jinxed me when they got right
on the train
What quiet, sweaty kids they had with soft, demented
brains
I try hard to edge forward, but I could not stand the
magnet-puller
Junkie, whining, contemplating – Comments just an order
for me
Junkie, junkie robo-funky, do you wanna see my monkey?
Bouncing like a bouncer baby ball inside your junkie
mamma
Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other
night
All the old folks in your closet, all the spiders
tucked in tight
I don’t need no family doctor - I don’t want your
Caroline
I will kill your Californian, but I love to hear you
whine
Sometimes you got to get away, got to get away, got to
get out
Well your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the
other night
Your junkie parents jinxed me on the train the other
night
Sometimes you got to get away, got to get away, got to
get out Junkie. Jinxed me. Train. Night.

Sit me down and make me sigh
Won't you tell me, sister, why it's true
That it all comes back for you
Sit me down and make me smile
Turn my teardrops for a while into
Another shade of blue
Chorus:
So I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Sit me down and make me eat
Tell me sister, why your meat's so sweet
As your song is tender
Lie me down and make me sleep
Tell me why these poor eyes love to weep
Because I can't remember
Chorus:
But I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Take my shoes, make me walk
Don't you know my feet, they're pretty soft
See, I'm a city boy
Tie me tight and watch me drown
And hang my picture from a post in town
That says Missing since July
Chorus:
So I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Instrumental Interlude
Chorus:
Oh yes, I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Sit me down, make me drink
Now I know why I so fear to blink
To prove I was not dreamin'
Whiskey red and coffee blue
California deja vu and you
And the last day I believed in
Chorus:
But I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
Yes, I can carry on
Until the early morning
When I can say
I changed my mind
