Oh good heavens
baby where's my medicine I must have left it outside with my etiquette The undertaker's rule of thumb It's hard to talk with a novocain tongue This room smells like hotel illness The scars I hide are now your business I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this No baby love is not a punishment Hypnotize by your rotten behavior This week's fashion is last year's flavor I got a head full of sermons and a mouth full of spiders The politics of the world's greatest liar This room smells like hotel illness The scars I hide are now your business I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this No baby love is not a punishment So tell me baby is it true all those things that they say about you This room smells like hotel illness The scars I hide are now your business I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this No baby love is not a punishment |

Take me Blind naked scared Want you to burn me, burn me baby Cover your eyes with my ashes C'mon why don't you pray for me Sit back and watch my divine spark flash Gone Good riddance I'm gone Gone in a wasted way Wasted my way I'm gone Push and pull on me baby With your fingernails full of fur I want you to stab me Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt Gone Good riddance I'm gone Gone in a wasted way Wasted my way I'm gone Jinx me, jinx me baby Beautiful like a fool C'mon and remove me Dilated and burned Gone Good riddance I'm gone Gone in a wasted way Wasted my way I'm gone |

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine In between I get cold, old mean Intertwined with country pride open and kind This draws a line Sorry to coin a phrase On either side is wisdom and rage So keeping track of time Racing with my age Sleeping with the snakes Forget that you showed up late It ain't worth it baby A charmed life it is At least they tell yo so I got a good idea It ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go Let me go Any day there might be hell to pay But in other ways It makes it seem ok I'll tell you what I mean It's not a plot nor a scheme It's just peace in my mind Again can I use the word kind I ain't sorry about it baby A charmed life it is At least they tell yo so I got a good idea It ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go Let me go |

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to See you tomorrow And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter And if we had a child I'd like a son, Not a daughter 'Cause she'd be just like you You know that would not do I'm no builder, I'm no gardener I sing some songs, have a friend Who's a photographer There ain't no other language I know how to speak Some like their water shallow And I like mine deep Tied to the bottom With a noose around my feet The clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say I wish he was dead Today the sunset Burned my eyes And in the next room I hear someone cry I like to dress up like the jury To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy To talk like dirt To love yo like tar But never fall in too fast With my north star While you pull your hair out I buy the drinks at the bar The clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say I wish he was dead Today the sunset Burned my eyes And in the next room I hear someone cry |

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain Windswept stars blink and smile Another song, another mile You read the line every time Ask me about crime in my mind Ask me why another read song Funny but i bet you never left home On a good day, it's not every day We can part the sea And on a bad day, it's not every day Glory beyond our reach Seconds until sunrise Tired but wiser for the time Lightning 30 miles away Three thousand more in two days On a good day, it's not every day We can part the sea And on a bad day, it's not every day Glory beyond our reach On a good day, it's not every day We can part the sea And on a bad day, it's not every day Glory beyond our reach On a good day, it's not every day We can part the sea And on a bad day, it's not every day Glory beyond our reach |

Put your good foot forward No need for heroics, I just want you to show it Now's the time to shine Your independence is a half-assed deliverance The train left the station The recognition of the same old condition Your symptoms showing through Well, regardless of the truth You still act so aloof In the face of your judge and jury You got the nerve to say not guilty Can you sting me, yeah Can you sting me, ooh Can you sting me Can you sting me right to my rotten bones Yeah, right down to Well, the bell rings out for the crimes of the century Courtesy of your mother Well, the sign reads welcome to the valley of discovery Look at what money can buy Sons and daughters better open your eyes Tell me what you're seeing 'Cause this submission is a tired tradition It's everyone's sacrifice Oh, believe you me I've got nothing up my sleeve 'Cept this heart and a chip on my shoulder You see, I'm young and I'm not getting older Can you sting me Can you sting me, ooh yeah Can you sting me Can you sting me right to my rotten bones Ooh, come on my sweet young thing What new things you wanna show me today I got one question, believe it's subjective What is a wasp without her sting? I don't mean to sound bitter Yeah you touch me baby just like murder Living ain't so easy When all I want from you is to sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me, oh yeah Can you sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me You wanna sting me |

Save me
From this season's dead air Take me Blind naked scared Want you to burn me, burn me baby Cover your eyes with my ashes C'mon why don't you pray for me Sit back and watch my divine spark flash Chorus: Gone Good riddance I'm gone Gone in a wasted way Wasted my way I'm gone Push and pull on me baby With your fingernails full of fur I want you to stab me Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt Chorus Jinx me, jinx me baby Beautiful like a fool C'mon and remove me Dilated and burned Chorus |

Did you ever hear
The one about last year It was all a lie Ain't it funny how the time flies What we gonna do baby What is left for us to prove I've never stolen nothing, not a thing Tried to stay away form this year's Big thing Ain't as easy as it seems To find a mutual dream Can you tell me wrong from right Do you know when to freeze or take flight Can you tell me more or less I got to know-confess Chorus: Don't neglect me Come be my conspiracy Don't neglect me Come be my conspiracy Now you got a question about your answer Say try your Adam's apple You talk it try it bite it right So now you want to fight? ok Let's step outside I got tradition in addition My definition it don't hold me back Well what you think about that What you don't understand This is a very old land Can you tell me wrong from right Do you know when to freeze or take flight Can you tell me more or less I got to know-confess Chorus |

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine In between I get cold, old mean Intertwined with country pride open and kind This draws a line Sorry to coin a phrase On either side is wisdom and rage So keeping track of time Racing with my age Sleeping with the snakes Forget that you showed up late It ain't worth it baby Chorus: A charmed life it is At least they tell yo so I got a good idea It ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go Let me go Any day there might be hell to pay But in other ways It makes it seem ok I'll tell you what I mean It's not a plot nor a scheme It's just peace in my mind Again can I use the word kind I ain't sorry about it baby Chorus |

I lose myself
I forget myself Sometimes I fault myself I might fight myself But then I make amends I freeze myself Rain on myself OK, so I stone myself And I might even find myself But then again what happens if I do So unzip my pride Open me up wide So I can show this to you Chorus: I want to shine for you I want to sparkle too Just like a diamond cursed Well you know it don't get worse You know that I'll save you time Your trouble now is mine Hold me baby Hold me girl And I will laugh with you If you want me to Roll me in your splendor I'll envy your surrender And show you victory I hate myself Doesn't everybody hate themselves I scare myself Then I tell myself it's all in my mind So I let the poison go 'Cause I always know It will be there for me Chorus |

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to See you tomorrow And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter And if we had a child I'd like a son, Not a daughter 'Cause she'd be just like you You know that would not do I'm no builder, I'm no gardener I sing some songs, have a friend Who's a photographer There ain't no other language I know how to speak Some like their water shallow And I like mine deep Tied to the bottom With a noose around my feet Chorus: The clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say I wish he was dead Today the sunset Burned my eyes And in the next room I hear someone cry I like to dress up like the jury To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy To talk like dirt To love yo like tar But never fall in too fast With my north star While you pull your hair out I buy the drinks at the bar Chorus |

I've been lost in the headlights
All night long Said I've felt taller, yes I heard The dealer's song Say babe don't mark me absent I only missed out by a fraction Be the sun that bursts through my clouds It's hard enough just living on this ground Chorus: Say don't pretend to me I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need Thought nothing would surprise me I was wrong now I see Come on baby and just do me if you please This made me reminiscing About the honey we made I feel warm in your blizzard And your flood I crave I won't abuse my anger I promise you no lecture Come be the sun bursting through my clouds It's hard enough just living on the ground Chorus |

I am a cobweb
In the corner of the room I tell you I built myself a beat baby So c'mon and cry me a monsoon Get busy on it And make it deep Chorus: Imagine how surprised all the kids will be Empty bottles, saviors they crawl That has always been and will always be There's a hornet's nest in my head, Come and save me If I don't say nothing You say now tell us what to do So I tell ya'll this is just how I live Someone else calls it the news But that's yesterday Yesterday's news Chorus |

Here with me
And this price you pay Just a wishful dream could be blown away Ask yourself for better or worse Because what's the use if it's just good luck A black cat has crossed my path Tell me what's good luck about that Chorus: Hate and greed Swollen and sweet Let's start this misery If that's where you wanna be Fear and love From down or form up above Come to me Come to me I bet you please Come set me free Excuse me please For my definition But deeper still are my convictions Urgently I wait to hear an answer While I misconduct a sad lost anthem An anthem like you have never heard Have you heard something so absurd Chorus |

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain Windswept stars blink and smile Another song, another mile You read the line every time Ask me about crime in my mind Ask me why another road song Funny but I bet you never left home Chorus: On a good day, I know it aint every day We can part the sea And on a bad day, I know it aint every day Glory beyond our reach Fourteen seconds until sunrise Tired but wiser for the time Lightning 30 miles away Three thousand more in two days Chorus 2x |

To my low down downtown
Money waster Your only saving grace Is that I like to taste ya But your flower is spoiled Too easy to make ya You got a .38 and your book of revelations I got a .44 and a lead of temptation Chorus: I am a rounder, like to round around Two for one at the store on the corner Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders Like the bars that stay open after hours Like the boys that go 24-7 Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven Chorus |

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again Open your eyes This time it's sink or it's swim No sermons on ascending No verdict on deceit No selfish memorandum No confusion for me Chorus: Curses Curses and clues A feast for fools Have mercy baby And hand me downs It was just a few years ago You'd hand me ups and map Right out of town But I would let it slide Like mercury Silver and quick Poisonous and deadly So deadly |
