When I was down she was full of advice
'Cause she'd been there once or twice With a ring on the side of her nose Wearing other people's clothes She had her highs and she had her lows In between she'd show When she smiled everything else died V let off a good vibe * As if in a dream The one and only V As if in a dream The one and only V Buying shots and breaking hearts She used to wait on us down at the bar Never took as much as she gave She's still giving to this day Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat |

Wasn't much of a union
Denial and confusion Meant something to you, I bet you would have stayed Stumbled on some good times Turned them into land mines You know you can turn the other way You say you've been meaning To sort through all your demons If there's some room, are you gonna let me in? You've been hung dry by your close friends Your inner child's an orphan You're so far down, you don't know where you been So many things you don't know If you want me to leave, just say so * It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated So ill fated Goodbye with reservations Regrets and salutations Something in there somewhere that I didn't say It's you I think of only Whenever you get lonely an' I got more than years to give away I've been dying to start living You're just living to be dying We can't seem to find no common ground You hate me when I'm lonely I'm lonely when you hate me Mostly I'm just there to kick around Soaring high and low First to leave, last to know *Repeat It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated |

Ropes hanging down below I see the children smiling No need to let it show * I know, I won't be coming home No more The streets and sidewalk borders Stretch out beyond the scenes The sweet and dark emotions Every day hopes and dreams My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Her eyes anticipating My each and every move *Repeat All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side The rake is scratching harder The half-drawn window shade Like any empty memory The colors seem to fade My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Remember summer showers Outside the cabin walls *Repeat |

There's a man on TV claims he killed 23
Burnt their bodies and collected their teeth There's another man at home with his wife and family tree Who agreed this would make a good movie? And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me He sold the book rights, and he was set for life A woman on a talk show wants to be his wife Another man decides to purchase his knife A court decides he's got the right And I'm sitting here, wondering how he can ever sleep at night I don't want to walk where he walked I don't want to talk to who he stalked I don't want to walk where he walked First it was a book, and then it was a movie They cut it all up and they put it on the TV The starring role was played by Christopher Lee He was fine, he was something to see And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me Oh Lord, I didn't catch how he got caught |

Blowing through my losing streak
Bought the farm on a dead-end street Nothing ever grows under your sun Filling voids with emptiness And driving past your old address Loneliness, two has turned to one They welcome you with broken arms Tell you they don't mean no harm Do they mean anything at all? Feeling crowded by my company You can't hate but parts of me I know there's a new myth on your floor Staying up in 409 The days are yours, the nights are mine Burned out everything except the door It's like breaking out of broken homes They tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own To call my own There's a gold mine in the local scene Get nine lives, you need thirteen Paid the price, landed on all fours You used to mean the world to me Scared to death of what that means So it don't mean nothing at all I welcomed you with broken arms You know I don't mean no harm Do I mean anything at all? (ooh, ahh) They all come from broken homes Tell you they don't eat their own Searching for one thing to call my own |

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 |

Jennifer save me ooh-ooh
Jennifer save me ooh-ooh I'm sick of all the faces Staring back as if to say "I know that you're half crazy but I wish you would go all the way" I'm driving your friend's car 'Cause I ain't got my own And if I leave today, see you tomorrow And if I leave today, see you tomorrow It's time to face the music But they never taught me how to dance I'd give you everything I've got If you'd only give me half the chance, yeah I'm driving your friend's car 'Cause I ain't got my own And if I leave today, see you tomorrow And if I leave today, see you tomorrow Jennifer save me ooh-ooh Jennifer save me ooh-ooh Need not fight for sunlight The ashes and the elms grow tall Fences bent gunmetal sunlight Wrapped to here from Montreal, yeah I'm driving your friend's car 'Cause I ain't got my own And if I leave today, see you tomorrow And if I leave today, see you tomorrow Jennifer save me ooh-ooh Jennifer save me ooh-ooh Jennifer save me ooh-ooh Jennifer save me ooh-ooh |

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 almost seems laughable
Shouldn't be this hard I built you this monument Soldiers standing guard Rainy night in Washington The buildings look so proud Fed upon your every whim Like manna from above Hand me down my walking cane Hand me down my shoes It's my gain to win It's my gain to lose I kept you my confidence Although I slowly sank Jealousy and misery From which we deeply drank Now I'm off to Philadelphia On the eve of what's to come This old boy's got the d.c. blues They've got me on the run Hand me down my walking cane Hand me down my shoes It's my gain to win It's my gain to lose Hand me down walking cane Hand me down my shoes It's my gain to win It's my gain to lose It's my gain to win It's my gain to lose (humming out) |

I want you to understand
I'm gonna be your man You make it easy You make it easy I like it here by myself But I want what no one else Just sometimes need me You make it easy And I want you and I need you And you know it's true I can't see myself with no one else You close down with my hand Your fallouts be comprehend You sometimes need me You make it easy It's a sad turn To be on your own It's a strange view With no sight of home And I want you and I need you And you know it's true I can't see myself with no one else I don't see myself with no one else Could you believe? I want you to understand I'm gonna be your man You make it easy You make it easy And I want you and I need you And you know it's true I can't see myself with no one else I don't see myself with no one else Could you believe?

Too bad you got a chip on your shoulder
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 |

That's when I told you 5-22-02 Did you ever feel the way? The feeling of a day gone by I was hoping you felt that thing too Could you stand another day Making habits out of our gone bys? You and I have better things to do 5-22-02 That's when I told you 5-22-02 Did you ever feel the day? The feeling of the night gone by? I kept hoping you felt that thing too Now the mirror's on the bed And the shades are black and lead, she said It was then that everything was mine 5-22-02 That's when I told you 5-22-02 All your life you've been holding on, holding on All your life you've been holding on, holding on Could you stand another day Making habits out of our gone bys?

I remember when mom and dad named you Claire
Before you were born, before you had hair You don't remember but I was there I remember when you broke your arm I know how you tell it You get it all wrong I loved you then and from now on That was a long time ago That was a long time ago I remember when mom and dad brought you home I was so used to bein' alone And then I wasn't alone There must be some reason for flesh and blood Some other purpose for stayin' in touch Oh we shared so much I remember when mom and dad named you Claire Before you were born, before you had hair You don't remember but I was there That was a long time ago That was a long time ago |

Don't it blow your mind?
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 |

It's not a story of a god around the calling
Locked in silence and pops up your pretty head They're sleeping now but dreams, except for lately Some things are better left unsaid Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind I saw my picture in the paper, it read 'Guilty' Eleven strong, consider him dead The crime was mine and it was done unforgiven You draw the line and I'll cross it where I stand Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind The clowns are withered, as the wind it was blowing As you and I end somewhere down again A sky channel, hollow hand sat there waiting Some things are better left unsaid Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind The crime was mine and it was done unforgiven You draw the line and I'll cross it where I stand Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind Beautiful mind Such a beautiful mind |

I touched your face
You were still warm I took my place Beside your thorn Swaying like an old familiar breeze Brought me to my knees Lifting up my eyes Surprise surprise everyone dies Cry and cry you're being a baby No body know where we go Listen, joy will drive you crazy And no matter where you go And no matter what is true I will always think of you I will always think of you Drew up my plans Made some mistakes Packed up my bags Felt no embrace Never found a reason I should stay Just tell me what to say Laughing at your lies Surprise surprise everyone dies Cry and cry you're being a baby No body cares where you go Listen joy will drive you crazy And no matter where you go And no matter what is true I will always think of you I will always think of you |

I can see you in the summer time
Throwing caution to the wind as you reach and touch the sky I can see you done some circles in the rain You're a long forgotten truth in the twilight of my day, of my day Watch the sun swirl, angels whisper as you rise On the shoulders of the giant who carries you among the clouds Keep your eyes wide, as you the cross the universe Put your future in a box, pain today or they meant well And I wish I could see through your eyes So full of innocence So full of joyfulness in a world that's so unkind You are the cure for it I can see you in the summer time On the shoulders of the giant as you reach and touch the sky And I wish I could see you one more time So full of innocence So full of joyfulness in a world that's so unkind You are the cure for it |
