Well, every time you smile
It takes me quite a while to recover And every time you cry I find I'm searching For the rock I can crawl under Oh, this could be any little town There must be mountains crumbling somewhere I could take you there I'd hold you 'til we vanished in the thin air It's crazy how I love you This could be any little town, sane when she see me This could be any little town, sane so she frees me This could be any little town, sacred and easy So I went runnin' up the street Almost forgot that I had feet searching for something Just peelin' out my crazy eyes Feeling the full effect of lies left me with nothing Oh, someone said to me today Son, you'll run your life away dancin' and dreamin' But I could hear beneath the haze Of his hopeless, lifeless days his hart was screamin' It's crazy how I've run through you Yes, it's crazy how I've run through you This could be any little town, sane when she see me This could be any little town, sane so she frees me This could be any little town, sacred and easy So it might take a lot of time I might be last in a long line of men to love you Should I kick and twist and scream Or could I just lay back and dream and think of summer Oh, there'd be no one else around Just you and I and the sound of us breathing together Stuck in this crumbling little town We'd be happy just to lie down there forever It's crazy how I love you Yes, it's crazy how I love you How I love you, how I love you, yes it's true This could be any little town, sane when she see me This could be any little town, sane so she frees me This could be any little town, sacred and easy Oh, this could be any little town, sane when she see me Oh, this could be any little town, sane so she frees me |

A little drunk is better than dead
When they're strapping you down inside your own head So you hang out with the man on the moon But why does the morning have to come too soon? When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic All your radio is picking up is cheap static So you reach beneath your front seat For the taste of something sweet Well, just remember what the drowning man said A little drunk is better than dead Before you put the gun to your head Remember what the drowning man said A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead A little drunk is better than dead When you're tripping down the path that you were led When your ass has been slapped by too many doors And you think of all the good things you can't afford You can't find a good woman, can't find a good job You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob You just can't swallow all the shit you've been fed Been punched in the eye so much you only see red But before you put that gun to your head A little drunk is better than dead Remember what the drowning man said Before you put the gun to your head A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead A little lost is better than found When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground But someone's always there to lend you a hand But too late you're already neck deep in quick sand And you're sprawled out on some floor Some one call for help, is he alive? We're not sure Everybody's screaming, everyone's in a panic But you, your face is peaceful like it's plastic And as they roll him away on the stretcher We knew that he'd be drunk forever I guess a little drunk is better Before you put the gun to your head Remember what the drowning man said A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead No no |

My father spent his days working on the outside
Breaking his back to put clothes on mine When I think of all, all, all of my heroes He is the first one that comes to my mind, my mind My mother filled my head with beautiful daydreams Someday you'll be a king or the president You know some days, I still believe her But today I?m too busy trying to scrape up my rent Come on Cinderella Fold your umbrella Feel the rain 'Cause it ain't so strange And I got a brother who?s a sinner He grows a strange crop in his backyard When the cops come and take him away would they even care That he taught his little brother how to play his guitar? Come on Cinderella Fold your umbrella Feel the rain 'Cause it ain't so strange Cinderella Oh feel the rain 'Cause it ain't so strange No, no, no |

Well darling, I see you
From across the room And men cling to you Like soup to a spoon But you don't look hungry And they won't feel full They roll in your thunder But I never will 'Cause I've got too much pride To stand here in this line for you Darling, I agree That men are pigs And beauty contests They're all rigged So smash all your mirrors And look into me 'Cause you're the most beautiful thing That I'll never see 'Cause I've got too much pride To stand here in this line for you Yes, I do, yes, I do Yes, I do, yeah, yes, I do Summer in the driving rain I'll never see your face again The only thing I wish to say I love you always Summer in the driving rain I'll never see your face again The only thing I wish to say I love you always Summer in the driving rain I'll never see your face again The only thing I wish to say I love you always |

I know it's late
But I needed to talk to someone I've been thinking that What if we never come back? Wipe off your cheek Roll down you're window and speak Words won't break glass What if we never come back? What if we never come back? Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me I know talk is cheap But I needed something to help me to sleep I've no ties, no past This time I'm leaving at last I've been thinking that Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me What if we never come back? What if we never come back? Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me, yeah Aim if you want But you'll never hit a moving target like me |

There must be some reason why she's letting me go
She says it's the season but I know she knows That there's spaces between us where no river flows I wish I could erase her like a change of my clothes And in an instant this all could end So lets drink to good fortune Here's to my friends 'Cause friendships worth much more than the money we spend And money's worth nothing Let's not pretend Meet me on main street Ducking from the police Strange the pain is so sweet It's complete It's complete It's complete I put on my red coat and walk out the door I'm not the same person that I was before And yes I feel bitter, yes I feel sore But she was just a young kid who drifted ashore Meet me on main street Ducking from the police Strange the pain is so sweet It's complete It's complete It's complete Meet me on main street Ducking from the police Strange the pain is so sweet It's complete It's complete It's complete |

Boy and girl you're not the same anymore
The boy strolls in and makes the girl hold the door She slipped me a party smile That I could see thru I got nothing to lose Mary what's happening with you So Mary said lets go get some fresh air My eyes cut to him, she said "Don't worry he'd never care" So we left that crowd behind and got lost in our lust Shook off the dust Mary what's happening to us? In the middle of the pouring rain she said "I'm going to leave him and he'll never see me again" I said "but you never really know" We didn't build this city, we didn't paint this town Seems like we spend half our lives running around Wanting somewhere else to go Back to the party after an hour or two Gone that long and the boy never knew 'Til he looked down and found grass stains on her knees Now he's chasing me up the street Mary what's happening, happening to me? What's happening, happening to me? In the middle of the pouring rain she said "I'm going to leave him and he'll never see me again" I said "but you never really know" We didn't build this city, we didn't paint this town Seems like we spend half our lives standing around Wanting somewhere else to go Well I see your face Put on the wrong way If you want to leave this place Walk home with me the long way Boy and girl you're not the same anymore Boy and girl you're not the same anymore Boy and girl you're not the same anymore |

I want to be back in Sofkuri's room
Where the candlelight's timeless She sits on the corner of her bed looking at you Through eyes part coal and part diamond And I long to feel Sofkuri move Smooth like a stream in the forest 'Cause I feel stiff like the city in heat May the road be burning before us She's sticking to me like the salt from the sea Sleeping on the shore In my winter coat pocket, I found a key to her door It said, "I'll love you more" And I swear I felt Sofkuri's soul Climb into mine And hide it inside a glass of red wine And sing to me Mystery is everything Mystery is everything Mystery is everything Mystery is everything She's sticking to me like the salt from the sea Sleeping on the shore In my winter coat pocket I found a key to her door It said, "I'll love you more, you more, you more" |

So give us cash 'cause we're the merchant
And the maker and marine corps And we're the outcast who's got no team to root for And we're the dreamers who built the world a new door And we're the fast man who robs himself a liquor store Sacred angel, look and see Are we living like we ought to be? Or are we loathsome? But aren't we true? I guess we're both sometimes just like you "Built to last" said the used car salesman to the fool He can manipulate a mind like a hand tool In his mind, in his line of work you live by one rule You laugh at the world first before the world laughs at you Sacred angel, look and see Are we living like we ought to be? Or are we loathsome? But aren't we true? I guess we're both sometimes just like you Strolling to the water with the devil's only daughter I said, "Can you show me something that I don't know?" So she set herself on fire in a burst of evil laughter Might be the last fantastic thing I'll ever see I think I'm gonna crash if I keep going down The path that I'm going down Going too fast and not showing signs of slowing down Who the hell knows, I might go and do it purposely And laugh at the world first before the world laughs at me Sacred angel, look and see Are we living like we ought to be? Or are we loathsome? But aren't we true? I guess we're both sometimes just like you Just like you Sacred angel, look and see Just like you Are we living like we ought to be? Just like you Or are we loathsome? But aren't we true? Just like you I guess we're both sometimes Just like you, just like you |

So she went to the bar on the corner
With some friends who were buried alive And a man leaned over to tell her That her luck had finally arrived Said he drove a Cadillac They could sneak out thru the crack And he'd never bring her back here again Watched her finger twirl a circle in her drink If you think too much, then you'll never decide You end up like an ice cube sinking down to the bottom So you do what you must to survive So she walked out by his side To strange shadows in the night Disappeared in the streetlights and were gone And here I am And here I am "So where's it parked," she said "We've walked so far and I'm getting so tired" And he looked like a crook who'd just been caught He said "I don't own no Cadillac Don't even own a paper sack To carry the confidence that I lack and my lies" So she said "You know I just can't believe this" He said "Go ahead, just leave, I understand" But instead she rested his head on her shoulder But how could he love her with nothing to give her But empty pockets and a crooked man? Well she said "You can love me with your hands You can love me with your eyes You can love me with your voice and your lies" And here I am And here I am And here I am And here I am |
