A sweet scent of discontent rising in the air
You don't get old you just get passive and then you stand and stare Hey nobody's keeping you from stopping Like a bulb without a socket your finger trigger's itching but you forgot to cock it And things didn't turn out the way you thought they would be No you can't take that out on me If you can find a better way then I ain't standing in your way I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just that you ain't that tough Ain't that tough ain't that tough A graveyard of bottles and a If you're so brave why's a .45 hang from your hips Nobody's keeping you from stopping You're always threatening to kill yourself well why don't you just do it right here, right now I didn't turn out the way you thought I would be No you can't take that out on me I thought I was talking to someone else I guess I was talking to myself I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just you ain't that tough Last time I saw you you were talking just like me Now you're talking like some hollywood actress, what the hell's that supposed to mean?

Cut the carpets going wall to wall Maybe someday won't be just one way Had a dream I was laying in hell Looked a lot like this hotel Maybe one day, won't be just one way But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell, I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell all in all, all is well. A bomb shelter and some cans of food A gas mask looks good on you Come and see me Ya wouldn't wanna be me I think I injured my funny bone I'm gonna cry when I get home Maybe one day, save it for someday. But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell All in all, all is well. All is well...... All is well, here in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. All is well, here in hell!

Met a man on a train near Santa Fe
Who was dead a minute as a child Fell off a dock He couldn't swim and his heart stopped A gold snake slid from the sky and swallowed him up He disappeared inside He disappeared inside The train stopped in a field of oil wells A blind girl needed help getting on The man was drunk from a flask half full of rum I shook my head when he offered me some "Que sera," he said and took another swig The train roared up a hill of sickly pines A small boy chased a ball up the aisle As the black mouth of a tunnel swallowed us up We disappeared inside We disappeared inside There we go |

You've broken the hate, it's never too late Turn 'round, you're just another year older Still ready to fight, then lose on your side Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Who put one foot in front of the other Drift through the maze of golden haze Sweating birds are darting down in anger Block now, cries the pain Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day Don't drown yourself in the sorrow You had a fall from grace Another fine day, another fine day Another fine day, another fine day Can't find your direction Another fine day, another fine day |

It's a second hand story no one wants to hear
And it's wet with blood, salted with tears It's black and white and red all over, happens all the time This was something about an artificial heart She lived in a sleepy town trailer home park Where not many people go out after dark Innocent helpless at 17, queen of every loser's wet dream Which brings us to our villain but a mother could love He liked amputation and the Lord above He kidnapped her on her way home from school She lost her mind, he lost his cool She didn't tell him about the artificial heart Then some kid found her head Then an arm and a leg and you know the rest they said The artificial heart it was still beating With a needle and a thread they sewed on her head She's alive and well like she was never dead She doesn't remember the day she didn't die Or how everybody cried She read a story in the paper how she was victimized And you should have seen the look in her eyes Her assailant was acquitted and as she read I swear she laughed off her head |

The cold greets the newborn, the neighbors that never meet No one's making plans here, no one knows for sure The way to keep it inside, it's just one more dark opening for you And whatever you do, when everything still seems new It's sure to come to something to change the rest of your life A chance to feel normal, but now you're in too deep Pacing circles around your eyes, the rest of the world's fast asleep No sense of direction, no sense at all No one there to break your fall, no one knows what's happening to you I never quite got that through; I know what waits for you I know for something to do with the rest of your life Stop looking over my shoulder, it was a little bolder You're going somewhere I might be on your way This time I don't mean maybe Nowhere I'd rather be If you're coming with me I might be on your way I saw you there on the corner with my name written all over you I was trying to get your attention, it's all I ever wanted from you Who will be the victim, who will be the host Who will you take it out on for not being there when you needed them most For you, I'm coming to terms with you And you can pull me through, I'm settling up with something to change the rest of my life Something to do with the rest of my life I need something to fear the rest of my life's not in vain |

Right before the aftermath, I saw where it would end.
They said it was an accident, I guess that all depends on who you talk to and who you know, and where you come from and where - where you go. In your crowd of pushers and users, takers and loosers, beggars and beggars and beggars and choosers. Your childhood days are over as you stuff your shirt and say made a choice it's wrong or right, it's this way I will stay. You'll sell it to your children, you'll sell it to your wife. Buying is your business, and selling is your life, It's your life. The vultures are all circling around your ????. Scavengers, evangalists will get to you some how. Your mother and your ex-best friend, letters that you never send. Your illegitamate children are coming for you now. They're always dragging you down, it's looking like a showdown, between revenge and in the end you can't defend. Can you try to imagine, a story that has no end? I think you better steal it while you still understand it, and sell it to one of your friends. |

At the end of the track is a shack
When you die, that's where you go Down the lines, up from this pit at the end of your rainbow That's one too many flights of stairs One more stair and almost there One more dose close Keep coming back to haunt you, Got no place left to go And they'll strip your car to the bone We did a scene, checked out a gown The Justice started laughing I guess that's what you get for laughing One last laugh and lived to tell One more pomp and circumstance One more fool to follow Another finger down my throat It's a bitter pill to swallow It's moving much too slow Who it is asleep at the wheel I don't want to know Just around the corner there's Somebody there to take you there Don't worry child you're sure to be scared One more drink before I go One last good luck kiss One less thing to call my own That's one more thing I miss Took the world by storm Most of 'em either in a dark jail Or wishing they had never been born Just around the corner there's One more pomp and circumstance One more fool to follow Another finger down my throat That's a bitter pill to swallow |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

But I suppose you've seen it all before There's one thing I'm trying to tell you But then again, you've heard it all before I survived another week just like the one before, When everything you wanted somehow leaves you wanting more And I looked beneath the carpet behind each and every door, Trying to find you something like you've never had before And it seems we're just beginners No previous experience at all Just the last original sinners And if you need me just be sure to call And they tell you which way not to go and so you go that way One child plays with another throws it away Like a kite without string do anything I'm trying to take you someplace you've never been before I see something new in each and every moon From your old, old hat to your blown-out shoes It's tried and true, and it's all I do And I hope it's not all the same to you The old and new, they get mistaken all the time Is there something I've never seen before No, just a brand new shine Now they're cranking 'em out by the millions They look and act exactly just the same And each one's one in a million And each has got its own elusive game It's the same old dusty atmosphere just like the other place I see something familiar in each and every face Seems to me I've seen you, been here, said this once before I'm trying to take you someplace you've never been before I see something new in each and every moon From your old, old hat to When I dropped it and broke it, I thought of you And I hope it's not all the same to you And the old and new, they get mistaken all the time Is there something I've never seen before |

I'd pound it down like a nail in wood I'd never let go of that feeling again I know I know that I felt this way before I'd pound it down like a cellar door I want you to know I'm behind you, by the way By the way that you look when I confront you By the way that I affect the things you do By the way did I tell you I can't leave you, by the way I'll be waiting for you on judgement day To watch all these judgements pass away And by the way the details fall, by the way By the way all the people that care about you Are all watching to see what your gonna do By the way have I told you I can't leave you, by the way By the way that you built me up again Back to a time when I was intense And now I know you play for what you pay By the way that you make me feel all right By the way that you put up such a fight By the way that my trust and faith is safe with you |

Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole
Why don't you go home and spend some time alone In the corner I looked across the room To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon Caged rat (x12) In the corner I looked across the room I knew I'd be there soon, in the (other) corner Caged rat (x12) Why don't you go home and crawl into your hole Why don't you go home and spend some time alone From the corner I looked across the room To the other corner, I knew I'd be there soon Caged rat (x12) |

Now everybody’s looking after me,
if I’m dragging by some coat tail, I can’t see it’s too dark, but I’ve got to know what’s got the best of me. When the circus that you left goes on parade, and those things you see seem so far in your charade, too far, but I’m feeling like I don’t dare look away, Don’t look away. Did it almost make you feel, that something’s got to happen soon, when you wake up feeling lost in your own room. If you’re crying and you fear you’re gonna drown, if you think we’ll rise above, you’d better look around, you’ll see. It’s a mountain made of sand crumbling under me. Maybe I’m chasing shadows on your wall, they loom so large, but make me feel so small somehow, when you’re chasing your own tail spinning your own wheels. .. And a time to leave, and a time to stay, I guess the things I look away... Did it almost make you feel that somethings gotta happen soon. You’re in the movies now that I’m in your cartoon. There’s a ringing in my ears that’s heaven sent. There’s a beast out on the ruins, some broken down lover’s lament. It goes on and on but it won’t go away. |

The mirror on the wall it tells no lies
And oh I don't like what I see I see a woman there I watch her as she cries And the woman isn't really me But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday I wish I didn't feel this way I can't get nothing done And all I want to do is go to sleep Though I lie in bed for hours I cannot close my eyes And lonely days turn into lonely weeks But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday Every now and then I think things might be all right And I think I see a light beyond the door Just as I approach it disappears again And everything seems darker than before But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday |

Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

Don't it blow your mind like the first time? Circle the voices in a crowded room Plays in my head so out of time Kill me with kindness never enough I find Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over Envision a future still in back and white Colors of youth run into gold Blue is for sorrow, red is for sadder light Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over There's a part of you here, part of you everywhere Looking around all that I see Buildings and cars, modern technology Don't it blow your mind? Don't it blow your mind again? Don't it blow your mind for the third time? The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over The dream is never over |

I am just a cowboy, lonesome on the trail
Those starry nights, campfire lights The coyote call, the howling wind wail As I ride out on an uncertain 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 all 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 Riding in the rodeo I was took in Texas, I did not know her name Lord, those southern girls all seem the same Down below the border, a town in Mexico I set out with 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 free with the buffalo 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, I'll turn around And I'll watch my fingers go up and down Up and down That's okay, amigo Let me go 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 let me be Roll me over and let me be Cowboy's life is the one for me |

It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away At the top of the day When the reign sways Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away Please don't ask me how I am, a little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The smile that remains Will take these chains away |

He's a stranger to authority, welcome to the minority.
It's not someplace you have to go, it's not something you have to know. Don't do this, don't touch that. Hey, draw the line I'll speak my mind, maybe I'll wait for another time. Sometimes you get close to those who wait, Sometimes it makes you hesitate. Some folks find more humanity, some folks find more than sanity. Don't do this, don't do that, don't try this, don't do that, Don't try this, don't touch that. Hey, do it for the last time. By the weight of the world coming down, down on, down on up to me. Down on up to me, wait for another time. When you look down on me, I get so uppity, Starting my own army, just me and my friends, said you better get ready. Hahaha. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to me. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to Though it might just come down to trust, It sometimes just comes down to lust, that's just one person's point of view. |

Sent on a mission to find out
Just how much shit one man can take Went to the river to swim upstream But got dragged into the lake You're wide awake But still you're dreaming Of the pride it takes It has no meaning Am I still here Can you see me, please say yes Can you heal me, please say yes When you watch over me, I am blessed Now that you're all grown up You're not so self assured, you'll never know Who do you answer to when No one's hanging round to let it show You're wide awake But still you're dreaming The pride it takes It has no meaning Am I still here Can you hear me, please say yes Can you heal me, please say yes When you watch over me, I am blessed You're old enough to know better Than to expect anything Take care of yourself You should know not to depend on anyone Am I still here Can you feel me, please say yes Can you heal me, please say yes When you watch over me, I am blessed Am I still here Can you see me, please say yes Can you heal me, please say yes When you watch over me, I am blessed |

Did you hear the one about the friend of a a friend who tried to end it all
At the last moment he picked up the phone and gave you a call You thought about letting it ring, but you answered after all And there you were, put on the spot at the end of the other line For questions that you never thought you'd ever have to answer to Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to go and turn on you It leaves you in the dark, feeling for a switch to turn it on again There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough There's no shortcuts to easy street, no corners you can cut Can you cut this diamond in the rough And it's good to see you alive Sign your will to survive A look into your heart before it sees its final hour Lived each day like there is no tomorrow Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find Though I have got to lay my head down at this dead end so many times And if we ever get to easy street, you can say with a smile I came just for the ride |

Rise and shine it's you're razor sharp.
Size up yourself in the mirror, a slice of life, To last through all the years, because sooner or later it all comes back to you, And we will remember, the fine things you can do. I'm giving back all the things that you gave to me. I'm saving up the price to pay to be free. Remember the first time you saw the rising sun. You may be done but I've just begun. The leaves are burning and the ashes have flown away. I'm turning over new leaves almost every day. You let him think you just as soon stay - you let him think you had nothing to say. Just let you go away, to find some mangled security, some strangled form of purity, To restore your faith and all the things you've come to hate. You give and you take and you leave, leave it alone. What i want so badly for this to be a place you can call home, and I haven't felt this Way since yesterday, but I don't remeber when. What I want so badly to be someone you can call a friend, till we meet again. Endless Farewell. Hello, Hello, Hello again. Endless Farewell. |

Once i had fame, oh but i was full of pride. there were a lot of friends
Always by my side. but my fame oh it died and my friends began to hide Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. everywhere I turn there was hello and a smile i never thought that it would be gone After awhile but my bank roll oh it down and the smiles they turned To frowns. everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone Once i had love. oh but it wouldn't be true to get back that love there ain't Nothing i wouldn't do but i've loved and i lost and now i paid the cost Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone Everybody loves a winner but when you lose you lose alone. |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

You shot me down, like you didn't care You only, the only simple wish you only wish, was born a prayer For a friend You toss and turn in your bed alone You throw abuse through a telephone Why don't you sit back relax, sit back and let your feelings go With a friend * Can't you let it go Oh, it aches you so Got to let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go On new years eve, you had it all A new year came, and I watched you fall You only plan was for a man, you only plan was for a friend Just a friend *Repeat I can't believe The things you can't see You're never wrong, you're always right You're never wrong, you're always right You got me wrong You're never wrong, you're always right You're never wrong, you're always right You got me With a friend Friend |

Well, I saw you at the station
It was after the election Down cast they would call him Your behavior was a poem At the feet of blessed Your hate burned my hand Are you happy where you are? Well, I knew that it was over When the crowd began standing You were driving, we were swerving In the feathers began burning From the mountains to the desert I searched but you were gone Are you happy where you are? Are you happy where you are? And all the hours upon that everyone consume Could not arrest the void of him to hers Him to hers, silent too Your priest who is praying In the cold moon was laying The drunkard, he was drinking And the young boy, he was thinking For the first time in a long time You felt hurt she died Are you happy where you are? Are you happy where you are? And all the alcohol that everyone consumed Could not arrest the boy who trots around the wound Don't look behind the face to see the faith is gone You know that's only wise for everyone, everyone, oh, gone Well, I saw you at the station It was after the election Down tribe they would call him Your behavior was so sad At the feet of altar Your hate burned my hand Are you happy where you are? Are you happy where you are? |

And It'd head on down the highway Say this is my way, disappearing forever But there ain't just one way So you choose the fun way Slide down the runway On a ticket that goes two ways And by the way that it sounded You thought that you'd be astounded But you left it like you found it Cause it wasn't yours to take What once seemed like dying Soon turned into flying So you settle for trying And you wish you were grounded No you cannot get much higher Than your utmost desire So you bring it down to size and Now it seems that you are grounded By the way that it sounded You thought that you'd be astounded But you left it like you found it Now you find that you are grounded |

Riding into town when the sun goes down
And the natives get restless and the crowd comes round Pacing in place in a backward race While starting my case to another blank face I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But i need a better reason to cry Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Now everything's lovely if you're ugly What you would, what you should, and what you could be Mr right, spending his life, Stabbing himself with a butter knife I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But I need a better reason to cry Growing pain's a spinning blade Whirling round you like a razor edged chain It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same Its down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who can make that change Can't shake hands with boxing gloves With whips and chains you'll never make love |
