If I won me the lottery I'd dance naked in the street With a top hat full of money & you'd wanna get to know me if I won me the lottery
& if I was a movie star I'd sip honey from a pickle jar in the back of my limousine & they'd call me an icon & I'd be lookin' back at you from the cover of the People magazine
I guess it's all for the takin' I guess it's all yours and mine my sister says I got to see it & believe it & I believe I believe it
But I'm just an outsider livin' in a trailer with my black & white TV set If only I was President you know I'd paint the White House pink & never have to pay the rent if only I was President
I guess it's all there for the takin' I think it's all yours & mine My preacher says I got to see it to believe it & l believe Won't sleep till I've had enough I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup I believe won't sleep till I've had enough
Delicious Surprise Now I do believe No fear in my eyes Now I can see
Heaven's inside inside inside I knew it all the time Got me somethin to believe in but all I really want now is a handful of salvation

Wish me luck Give me somethin' Help me out And I'll go there... All I want is a brand new truck One eyed Jacks & beginner's luck The doctor's script for the perfect drug Get it all while I can But I got no money & I got no man I drive around in a beat up van I ride on coffee & Percodan Get it all while I can Is that too much to ask Is that too much to ask So people tell me to clean up my mess Like I was sweet sixteen in a dirty dress But I'm wiser now so I must confess That I get it all while I can Is that too much to ask Is that too much to ask Just make it real & make it last Someday maybe I'll understand this crazy old life is in my hands Someday maybe I'll figure it out Somebody help me Anybody tell me Wish me luck Give me somethin' Help me out And I'll go there Wish me luck Give me somethin' Just make it real & make it last

Hello again my friend it's been sometime, I try and read you in your shifting eyes your hands are trembling as I hold 'em in mine how ya livin' You were the talker & I was the clown we grew up wonderin' how we would get out but you're still talkin' talkin'
You got places to go you got people to know you got plans to get your shit together Did you take it too far did you forget who you are did you stash your soul into the closet forever...forever
So now you're hustling for the five & dime you cure the stranger & his perverted mind You are the poet of need & lust how's the preachin' You painted destinations on the inside & dreamed of revelations yearning to fly But you're still walkin' & still talkin'
You got places to go you got people to know you got plans to get your shit together Did you take it too far did you forget who you are did you stash your soul into the closet forever...
Hold on Geany Watch what ya say Save your preachin' for a rainier day Hold on Geany I'm talkin' to you You're so amazing in whatever you do
You got places to go you got people to know you got plans to get your shit together
Hold on Geany Watch what ya say Save your preachin' for a rainier day Hold on Geany I'm talkin' to you You're so amazing in whatever you do
You got places to go you got people to know you got plans to get your shit together Did you take it too far did you forget who you are did you stash your soul into the closet...
Did you take it too far do you know who you are grap your soul and hold on to forever....forever...together
So suddenly it rolls by again Soft as a breeze & light as the wind don't say good-bye & don't dry these tears if I could fly we'd fly away from here So don't let go just come along now Just say so It won't be long now It's all right this ain't no lie It's right on time Petals of rose I touch your hair Heaven knows I love you here Beautiful smile covets the time I feel so fine I feel so fine On my way Come along & Stay When I was young just a little girl I'd sing to the sun & dream with the world Now I got a suitcase full of memories If I could show you maybe you'd stay with me So don't let go just come along now Just say so It won't be long now It's all right this ain't no lie it's Love Don't Die
She combs her hair & cleans her face closes the door and kneels to pray It don't matter that she's alone beast or dragon she's going home
chorus: If I lay me down bow me head onto the ground would you heal my skin and these blisters within my skin
She found today so hard to say I sweat the sheets too tired to play & it don't matter 'cause I'm still alive Beast or Dragons wont make me hide, make me hide, make me hide...
(repeat chorus)
another way I just can't find the words to say it's cold where I lay It's cold where I lay bones cracked to clay a killer's in the way hot is my shame fire pulls my veins for never is my name forever in my shame and holy, come heal me solely, delivery, deliver ay yay
People got no clothes on Naked without the blinds drawn Welcome to my kingdom We're living our own freedom & the girls say Small boy sewn in stitches He knows wicked witches Mama's love is silent Her sweetness becomes violence & the girls say It's got me losing my way Is God really gone? Losing my way everybody runs Losing my way everybody hung their head down to sigh everybody hung their head out to dry Pictured on the ceiling Regretting what you're feeling Welcome to my kingdom We're living our own freedom & the girls say
Mother may I, and I would say Yes sweet baby take it away It won't be long Just just remember that Powerful is the woman in you and stay true now & she'd come to me when fire & water was gone to caress the empty with a song Saying why cry for anger that bullet the sky just remember & I'll remember & mama & I'll get by & I know my face seems crazed & wild but I got her eyes the mama's child am I She's blessed with grace is smooth as a line & when I shade she helps me shine & she comes to me when there's nothing I believe & holds me so high yes I am free saying why hold the anger it won't let you fly just remember and I'll remember cause mama mama and I'll get by Confused by my own illusion she said that it's only my pride & even the simplest solutions still won't heal my mind So I'll remember I'll remember & I'll get by
Laughin' till it pisses everybody off Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting Kissin' till my lips are ready to fall off Screamin' all night then just say I'm singin' Yeah these are some of my favorite things Gold butterflies & gum on a string Yeah these are some of my favorite things but doin' nothin' is my favorite one Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes fading in the grass basking in the sunlight Go & say to mama I'll just drive 98 Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be alright Breath in faith & hope & a big fat cigarette Drowning in the wine having no regrets Yeah these are some of my favorite things Don't ask me why Gold butterflies & gum on a string Get me high Yeah these are some of my favorite things But doin' nothin' is my favorite one & It's not the life I thought it would be But I'll be alright I know I will be So long to circumstance Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes I'm fadin' now at last baskin' in sweet sunlight Yeah these are some of my favorite things Don't ask me why Gold butterflies & gum on a string Get me high Yeah these are some of my favorite things But loving you son, is my very favorite one
