When you gonna grow up Momma always said Are you gonna walk around with a silly grin And a bubble on your head A spaceship landed by the mall There was a big parade Everybody got laid And they burned all the books and the Chevrolets They grow so fast they never crawl
If you get tired of satellite flyers And fame has let you down Under the wire and over the moon I'm around
When you gonna grow up Momma always said But I just wanna walk around with a dollar bill And a coat that never sheds A spaceship landed on the water It was a holiday For the underpaid Everybody got a haircut and lemonade And they smiled just like it was their father
Play me a groove one for my radio one for my love That came and went So many stories, hey man I'm sorry. Joe, this is just a song to pay the rent
Take a piece of the sky Make it rain cherry wine Give her love Give her life Give her mine
She's a child Young and willing In a world that's unforgiving That in time Takes all the living from your soul
I stand in the night with a silver sword Killing her demons beating them off her door Sleep baby don't you cry Daddy's got a worn out lullaby And I'd live forever dark and damned To see you spend one minute, girl... in Wonderland
She can run Free forever Still our blood... blood runs us together And I'll be there If she runs home For worse or better
I know you like Adam knew Eve Every tear you cry is a tear that I will bleed Sleep baby don't you cry Daddy's got a worn out lullaby And I'd live forever dark and damned To see you spend one minute, girl... in Wonderland
And I'd live forever dark and damned If I could see you spend one minute baby... in Wonderland
Maybe I'm a baby with a mouth to feed Maybe I'm a cancer waiting to eat Maybe I'm a razor on a wrist to bleed Maybe only water or a bucket of kerosene
It's alright We are landing this ship soon It's alright No more trips around the moon
Momma does the dishes in her wedding ring Daddy never wishes now for anything Sister on the corner like a boy's wet dream All little bit of hell in a bucket of velveteen
I saw a wreck at a light Two cars that gave up the fight Nobody left to be saved No steam left under the gauge And in that carnival light The show began to unwind And I saw just how it goes Out on that old two-lane road
I been saving time for another life Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when When...
The Gravity Of whether you were meant for me Came crashing down with sovereignty In someone else's tragedy
I saw the old man again He only talks about when There was so much to believe Before the cancer to be He can't remember the song The words they all come out wrong And all his records are cracked He knows you can't get it back
It's only faded time Maybe happiness is coming but you don't know when When...
The Gravity Of whether you were meant for me Came crashing like a symphony In someone else's used to be
And we carried our cross like a clover And we smoked cigarettes and we lied About the things we would feel when we're older Oh God what a fine waste of time And I miss you are you coming over

Hey wouldn't you wanna know Everywhere that river flows to right now I can show you how 'Cause someday you might wanna go Someday you got nothing to show For all your pain For all your chains I ain't saying it's the only way But wouldn't you like to know
How if feels to live Like a free man To give When there's nothing in your hand Run like only the river can Like a free man
You've only so many roads to choose Sooner or later the ones you use They all look the same Someday you might feel the need Someday when you're tired of bleeding For someone else You're gonna want it for yourself I ain't saying it's the only way But wouldn't you like to know
He came from Ohio Married the first girl again And somewhere in Reno In his El Camino he never did see her again No world can look like it did before But this one comes pretty close To the swinging door
One time's a shame Two times and you're to blame And you lose your precious crown The Third Time Around
This ain't no freeway You pay for it someday - I guess He came from Ohio Another day another stain on your map of regret No world can look like it did before But this one comes pretty close to the swinging door
And you get no sleep and you're overdue The faithful creep when they're leaving you And you wonder why
One time's a shame Two time and it looks like rain And they say your luck is found The Third Time Around
If I had just one tear running down your cheek Maybe I could cope maybe I'd get some sleep If I had just one moment at your expense Maybe all my misery would be well spent
Could you cry a little Lie just a little Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain I gave now I'm wanting Something in return So cry just a little for me
If your love could be caged, honey. I would hold the key And conceal it underneath that pile of lies you handed me And you'd hunt and those lies They'd be all you'd ever find And that'd be all you'd have to know For me to be fine
And you'd cry a little You'd die just a little And baby I would feel just a little less pain I gave now from wanting Something in return So cry just a little for me
Give it up baby A whimper would be fine Some kind of clue that You're doing time Some kind of heartache Honey give it a try I don't want pity I just want what is mine
She got it all The boys they would crawl Away from her door then they come back again But don't let 'em in Smoking their gin Leaving their best foot out in the cold I'm a waste of a momma's boy It's a shame they say There's so much you know he'll never enjoy All the love you come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time When she says hush I'm on your side It's just the two of us You know that I You know I'll never say goodbye
She smiles for me It don't mean a thing It don't take away the way it was before I'm foolish and grown I should've known Her's was a world made for just one throne I'm a waste of a momma's boy It's a shame they say There's so much you know he'll never enjoy All the love you come to destroy
How many days can you waste it boy It's a shame they say There's so much you know he'll never enjoy All the love we come to destroy
There's a moment lost in time When she says hush I'm on your side It's just the two of us Though they might try
I am a cutting tool I am a killing fool And one day you, you're gonna be mine I am a dirt machine And I will wipe clean This jungle vine
I am a burning ash I am burning for cash And one day you, you're gonna be mine I am a dirt machine And I will wipe clean This jungle vine I'll rip her from the sky There'll be no more timber line
We are Turning green into gold We are Ripping roots from the soil
I am the wall of pain And I will damn the rain And one day you, you're gonna be mine I am a dirt machine And I will wipe clean This jungle vine I'll rip her from the sky
I don't want to put on my make-up Just like every girl in a magazine That's not who I am when I wake up That's not who I want to be There's so much more to me
That meets the eye It's in life I know what thing
It doesn't really matter What you wear Let the people stare 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
It doesn't really matter What car you drive It's good to be alive 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
Tell me baby Do I look like the real thing? Would you change the color of my eyes? Tell me Why my television's filling me with lies?
It doesn't really matter What you wear Let the people stare 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
It doesn't really matter What car you drive It's good to be alive 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
There's beauty on the inside And so beautiful, whoa, whoa Yeah, yeah, yeah
It doesn't really matter What you wear Let the people stare 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
It doesn't really matter What car you drive It's good to be alive 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
It doesn't really matter What you wear Let the people stare 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
It doesn't really matter What car you drive It's good to be alive 'Cause we are who we are Who we are, who we are
