And it's only doubts that we're counting on fingers broken long ago.
I read with every broken heart, we should become more adventurous.

And if you banish me from your profits and if i get banished from the kingdom up above;
I'd sacrifice money and heaven, all for love.
Let me be loved! Let me be loved!

If my brain quits, well, i guess then that's just it.
And if my hands stop working, you can call me lazy.
And if i get pregnant, i guess i'll just have the baby.
Let it be loved! Let me be loved!

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like i've got a broken neck.
Wanting to say 'i will' as my last testament...
For me to be saved and you to be brave,
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough,
Well, at least we'll be loved.

I've felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees.
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind:
Get loved, make more, try to stay alive.

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like i've got a broken neck.
Wanting to say 'i will' as my last testament...
For you to be saved and me to be brave,
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough,
Well, at least we'll be loved

There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin' and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left
And it's bad news Baby, I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news
I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
but just being around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
and I call you and say "C'mere!"
And it's bad news Baby, I'm bad news

I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news
And it's bad news Baby, it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news
'Cause you're just damage control

for a walking corpse like me - like you
'Cause we'll all be Portions for foxes

Yeah, we'll all be Portions for foxes
There's a pretty young thing in front of you
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
and then she's sleepin' inside of you
and the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left
And it's bad news I don't blame you
I do the same thing I get lonely too
And you're bad news My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news
You're bad news Baby you're bad news and you're bad news
Baby you're bad news and you're bad news I don't care, I like you
and you're bad news I don't care, I like you I like you

Any chimp can play human for a day
And use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform;
And run for office on election day;
And fancy himself a real decision maker,
Then deploy more troops than salt in a shaker.
But it's a jungle when war is made,
And you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing,
A smoking gun holding ape.

Any asshole can open up a museum;
Put all of the things he loves on display
So everyone can see them.
The house, the car, a thoughtful wife;
Ordinary moments in his ordinary life.
But if she blinks or smiles, she'll give you away;
'Cause no one wants to pay to see her happiness.
No one wants to pay to see her day to day
And i'm not buying it either,
But i'll try selling it anyway.

Any idiot can play greek for a day
And join a sorority or write a tragedy;
And articulate all that pain,
And maybe you'll get paid.
But it's a sin when success complains,
And your writers block- it don't mean shit.
Just throw it against the wall and see what sticks.
Gotta write a hit - i think this is it.

It's a hit.

And if it's not,
Then it's a holiday for a hanging,
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging
Yeah it's a holiday for hanging, yeah
Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby

Any fool can play executioner for a day,
And say with fingers pointed in both directions
'He went that way,
It's only a switch or syringe,
I'm exempt from eternal sins...'
But you still wear a cross,
And you think you're gonna get in...

Ah, but the pardons never come from upstairs;
They're always a moment too late,
But it's entertainment; keep the crowd on their toes,
It's justice, we're safe.
It's not a hit, it's a holiday.
Shoo-bop-shoo-bop my baby

It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah
It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday for hanging,
I'm a holiday yeah
I'm a holiday for hanging,

It's a holiday for hanging, yeah

Get a real job, keep the wind at your back and the sun on your face.
All the immediate unknowns are better than knowing this tired and lonely fate.
Does he love you, does he love you? Will he hold your tiny face in his hands?
I guess it's spring; i didn't know; it's always seventy-five with no melting snow.
A married man, he visits me. I recieve his letters in the mail twice a week.
I think he loves me and when he leaves her,he's coming out to california!

I guess it all worked out; there's a ring on your finger and the baby's due out.
You share a place by the park and run a shop for antiques downtown.
And he loves you, yeah he loves you, and the two of you will soon become three.
And he loves you, even though you used to say you were flawed if you weren't free.
Let's not forget ourselves, good friend. You and i were almost dead.
You're better off for leaving, you're better off for leaving.

Late at night, i get the phone. You're at the shop sobbing all alone.
Your confession, it's coming out.
You only married him because you felt your time was running out.
Now you love him, and your baby. At last, you are complete.
But he's distant and you found him on the phone pleading, saying
'Baby i love you and i'll leave her and i'm coming out to california...'
Let's not forget ourselves, good friend. I am flawed if i'm not free.
Your husband will never leave you, he will never leave you for me

Pull the ripcord, the ship has lost its sail.
Your momma's got a new man. Your daddy always fails.
And you're eating again, at them, 'cause nobody loves you.
And even fancy things have finally lost their charm.
Wine and diamond rings, they never get you anymore.
You're sleeping again, alone, 'cause nobody loves you.
And ooh ooh ooh ooh, they should have seen you,
Should have known you, should've known what
It was like to be you.
So come on kid, look at what you did.
I don't know if you meant it,but you did yourself in and
I was even havin' a good day when i found out we lost you.
So aye aye aye and a
Oh oh oh and a yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh
Bad-da-da-da-dada...
And ooh ooh ooh ooh she said "it was in the singing and the
Strumming-- oh man, i even saw it coming"
<i>[whistling]</i>
Bada-da-da-da-da

I'm only a woman of flesh and bone
And i wept much, we all do.
I thought i might die alone
But i had
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never met you.
So baby be good to me.
I got nothing to give you, you see
Except
Everything, everything,
Everything, everything,
All the good and the bad,
'Cause i've been bad.
I've lied, cheated, stolen and been ungrateful for what i have
And i'm afraid habits rule my waking life.
I'm scared and i'm runnin'in my sleep
For you but all the oceans, and rivers and showers
Will wash it all away and make me clean
For you
'Cause i have
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, never,
Never, never, met you.

So lets take a loan out, put it down on a house
In a place we've never lived.
In a place that exists in the pages of scripts
And the songs that they sing
And all of the beautiful things
That make you weep, but don't have to make you weak

'Cause i've
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never,
Never, never, never, never
Loved somebody the way
That i loved you

The absence of god will bring you comfort, baby,
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich,
And i'm not my body or how i choose to destroy it.
Folk singers sing songs for the workin' baby.
We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers,
But there's no relief for the bleeding heart
'Cause they'll be losing bodies tonight.

And rob says "you love, love, love, love and then you die..."
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying
With closed eyes.

And you're not happy, but you're funny, and i'm tripping over my joy.
I just keep on getting up again.
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted,
But we'd never get anything done that way, baby,
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives.
And i'm not my perspective, or the lies i'll tell you every time.

And morgan says, "maybe love won't let you down.
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned, you'll be surprised," she says,
"as your solitude subsides."

And mike, i'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again.

And i say "there's trouble when everything is fine..."
The need to destroy things creeps up on me every time,
And just as love's silhouette appears i close my eyes
And disappear, tonight...

And something's got to change
'Cause our love's the slowest moving train

You're obsessed with finding a new brain,
but what you need is a new body
It feels your brain has lived a thousand lives before
And the skin you call your home
Holds a heart that quits and knees that buckle in,
and lungs that can't breathe when they're alone
And the days come to you like sailors
You watch them as they drift away
They meet the sunrise out at the horizon
And it's neither sink nor swim
At least the water's beneath your chin

There's blood spilled on the floor
Everyone's staring at you what for
'till you realize the blood is probably yours
You feel you've lost something you want it back
You're lying motionless on your back
And your legs aren't taking any more requests
Those disobedient wrecks
How you cared for them
As they carried you from class to class and coast to coast
When you owned land and when you were broke
Through recessions and addictions

It's just your accidental death
Your accidental death
It's just your accidental death
You're the Indian in the cougar's nest

Your fright gives way to memory
Having coffee with your love
Or the story your father told you long ago
He was hunting with his own father for deer
He pointed and spotted her
And then tripped over some roots or some dead trees
The gun went off, it was a mistake
And my father was only eight
And as he watched the dying deer, he was changed
'cause he felt sorry for what he'd done
And then he put down his gun
Will you feel sorry for what you've done?
Will you put down your gun?

It's just your accidental death
Your accidental death
But there's no accidental death
When you're the Indian in the cougar's nest

It's just your accidental death
Your accidental death
It's just your accidental death
You're the Indian in the cougar's nest

And it's only doubts that we're counting on fingers broken long ago.
I read with every broken heart, we should become more adventurous.

all is fair in love and war and love
now that everybody's dead we can finally talk
but vanity and happiness co-exist
all the lovers you take in you direct you of the enemy
and we simply share this bite except the bullet
and pretend you the pleasure, the treasures of battle
its only for the for the wolves and purple honors

why must you try to ruin my piece of mind
and they were only words and i never meant them
i never loved you even if i could miss you through fervor fire cannon fodder

when my grampa train fell and broke his face in the zoo
when the cops arrived he exclaimed a fat wilber two
and then they carried darken hospital room
and then he'll moan and curse and he remembers you
and we can't defy you're remains
and it could be you so it don't cost you
it only cost me my wife and my job now what

then my mom and i went to identify the body
and i wanted to see it but she wouldn't let me
across the way to the military cemetary
i can't wait for it's all about to come true
but you, you're alive, how can we aford it
it's just about dead presidents and party hats
have a celebration

love and war and heaven and in hell
the body and the spirit sells itself
love and war and heaven and in hell
the body and the spirit sells itself

I had one friend in high school, recently he hung himself with string.
His note said,
'If living is the problem, well, that's just baffling.'
And at the wake i waited around to see my ex first love.
And i barely recognized her, but i knew exactly what she was thinking of.
We sat quietly in the corner, whispering close about loss.
And i remembered why i loved her, and i asked her why i drove her off.

She said,
"the slow fade of love,
Its soft edge might cut you
And our poor friend jim,
Well, he just lived within
The slow fade of love."

A woman calls my house once a week, she's always selling things.
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine.
And as i turned her down (i always do), there was something trembling in her voice.
I said,
"hey, what troubles you?"
She said,
"i'm surprised you noticed.
Well, my husband, he's leaving,and i can't convince him to stay.
And he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway.
I'm sorry i'm hard to live with, but living is the problem for me.
I'm selling people things they don't want when i don't know what you need."

He said, "the slow fade of love,
And its mist might choke you.
It's my gradual descent
Into a life i never meant.
It's the slow fade of love."

I was driving south of melrose. When i happened upon my old lover's old house.
I found myself staring at the closed oak door like the day she threw me out.
"diana, diana. Diana, i would die for you.
I'm in love with you completely, i'm afraid that's all i can do."
She said,
"you can sleep upon my doorstep, you can promise me indifference, jim.
But my mind is made up, and i'll never let you in again."

For the
Slow fade of love.
It might hit you from below.
It's your gradual descent
Into a life you never meant.
It's the slow fade of love.

It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
Baby, it's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
Slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love

Today is the day i realized that i could be loved.
It echoed though the park last night:
'He wasn't our son;
He belonged to everyone...'

And this loss isn't good enough for sorrow or inspiration.
It's such a loss for the good guys,
Afraid of this life,
That it just is.
'Cause everybody dies...

This loss isn't good enough for sorrow or inspiration.
It's such a loss for the good guys,
Afraid of this life,
That it just is.
Everybody...
This loss isn't good enough for sorrow or inspiration.
It's such a loss for the good guys,
Afraid of this life,
That it just is.

'Cause everybody dies

Soldiers come quickly, i feel the earth beneath my feet
I'm feeling badly, but it's not an attempt at decency
And if you're well off, well then i'm happy some for you
But i'd rather not celebrate my defeat and humiliation here with you

Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out
Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast
Then we'll go to omaha, to work and exploit the booming music scene and humility
And we've been talking all night

Oh god come quickly, for the execution of all things
Let's start with the bears and the air and then mountains rivers and streams
Then we'll murder what matters to you and move on to your neighbors and kids
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease 'cause of what you did
Lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep
But sleep never comes to you, it's just the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak
It's just you and me

The execution of all things

will you close the door?

if you close the door
the night could last forever
keep the sunshine out
and say hello to never

all the people are dancin' and there havin such fun
i wish it could happen to me
but if you close the door
you never have to see the day again

if you close the door
the night could last forever
keep the wine glass out
and drink a toast to never
but someday i know someone will look into my eyes and say "hello, you're my very special one"

but if you close the door
you never have to see the day again

dark black bars
shiny cadillac cars
people in subways and trains
looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed
people look well in the dark

if you close the door
the night could last forever
leave the sunshine out
and say hello to never
all the people are dancin' and they're havin such fun
i wish it could happen to me
but if you close the door
we never have to see the day again
you never have to see the day again
(once more)
we never have to see the day again

Let's get together and talk about the modern age
All of our friends were gathered there with their pets just talking shit
About how we're all so upset about the dissapearing ground
As we watch it melt

It's all of the good that won't come out of us
And how eventually our hands will just turn to dust
If we keep shaking them, standing here on this frozen lake

I do this thing where i think i'm real sick
But i won't go to the doctor to find out about it
'Cause they make you stand real still in a real small place
As they chartup your insides and put them on display
They'd see all of it, all of me, all of it

All of the good that won't come out of me
And all the stupid lies i hide behind
It's such a big mistake, lying here in your warm embrace

Oh, you're almost home
I've been waiting for you to come in
Dancing around in your old suits going crazy in your room again
I think i'll go out and embarrass myself by getting drunk and falling down in the street
You say i choose sadness, that it never once has chosen me
Maybe you're right

Let's talk about all of our friends who lost the war
And all of the novels that had yet to be written about them

It's all of the good that won't come out of them
And all the stupid lies they hide behind
It's such a big mistake, standing here on this frozen lake
It's all the good that won't come out of me
And how eventually my mouth will just turn to dust
If i don't tell you quick
Standing here on this frozen lake

The paint's peeling off the streets again
And i'll drive and close my eyes in michigan
And i feel nothing, not brave
It's a hard day for breathing again
The heat is chasing off all of your friends
And their scattered bodies part to the shore again
And i feel nothing, not sane
It's a hard day for dreaming again

I'm not going back to the assholes that made me
And the perfect display of random acts of hopelessness
I wish i could stay here
But i think we're all ready, i think we're all ready

And i feel nothing, not safe
It's a hard day for dreaming again
Now that you've seen almost all of america
All you can say is, "where is all the water?"
The war has been over for years since you gave up

Last night, where the road had started
And last night, when my hands were choking you
Last night, when the room and your mood was dipping
And last night when the ropes were pulling you in... You said,
"hey, how could you love me this way?"
You said, "hey, i think we're all ready..."
I think we're all ready

Soldiers come quickly, i feel the earth beneath my feet
I'm feeling badly, but it's not an attempt at decency
And if you're well off, well then i'm happy some for you
But i'd rather not celebrate my defeat and humiliation here with you

Someone come quickly, this place was built for moving out
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out
Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast

Lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep
But sleep never comes to you, it's just the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak
It's just you and me

The execution of all things

Watch me fly away
Through the night sky yeah
Now that all you touched
Has finally turned gray

And roads can't hold us down
Winds will move us around
With no need to return
To this gray town

Want to bet I can tell
You've been in bed for too long
So let's just say so long
And I watched you at the cove

You read on rocks below
And I turned home
Without so much as hello
Want to know where I go

I've been away for too long
And it's hard to leave
When I haven't seen
You in so long

And if we had just
Held out for tomorrow
We might have seen
What seemed so far away

We didn't even bother to stay
There it goes I can tell
You're gonna to keep
Your eyes to the ground

Waiting for something
To finally come around
Tell you that you knew
That you weren't wrong

And it's finally time for so long

Moods don't command you if you don't know what you're going through
There's love for you up where the population grows
There are friendly people in cities too, just ask them where they are going to
There's life and work up where the clouds meet the snow
And i don't waiting
I'm always one step ahead of you if you don't know what you're going through
There's laughs and fun up where the conversation flows

I don't mind waiting if it takes a long, long time
I don't mind braving the coldest winters of our time
I don't mind racing through our goodbyes

This is your last line of defense
You can sell your baseball cards just to pay your rent, yeah

I don't mind waiting if it takes a long, long time
I don't mind wasting the best years of our lives
I don't mind racing through our goodbyes

Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath
And hope someone will help me this time
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that godnever blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying

And sometimes when you're on you're really fucking on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter
More grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest you'll be brave
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them...

Hail to those who have come from the sunlight that surrounds you
Pray for those who have gone from the sunlight that surrounds you
Hail to whatever you found in the sunlight that surrounds you
Pretend all the good things are for you
Pretend all the good things are for me too
And the weather changes not halfway between your house and mine

In my dreams, i see myself hitting a baseball
In a green field somewhere near a freeway
I'm all tan and smiling and running from third base
It's hot and the kids keep on playing the driving game
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
And the sky is a bluish gray

It's become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone

In my dreams, i see you at the foot of some mountains
And we're taking some pictures or something
And we'd better hurry up
It's late and the sun keeps shooting through pine trees
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
And we'd better hurry up

I've become just like a terrible mess
Searching the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
But the crowds keep me coming back
Cheering

In my dreams, i see you asleep in a twin bed
The covers pulled up over your head
Am i asleep or awake?
It's morning and the captain is playing the radio
And he's just put the paint on his new boat
Am i asleep or awake?

It just feels good when we're waking up
It just feels good when you're next to me
It just feels good when you're coming home
It just feels good when it's waking up
My slumbering heart

It's become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone
I'm not a failure i swear
I wish you could see it from over there
I've got a lot over here without you
I've barely been gone
Dreaming

All this talk about your sweet girlfriend
Is starting to pay off
And the charms that you got from travel
Are starting to wear off

And i hope that you
Smile tonight
Watching the last of your friends arrive
You'll smile and shake their hands

And the hero that you'd hoped you'd be
Never seemed to show up
And if i can keep from talking
There won't be time to give up

And i hope that i
Drive tonight
Into the last of the great sunrises
I'll smile and wave my hand
Goodbye

If things don't work out
Quite the way you planned
It's almost half past two and
I've begun to hate the way you
Smile so smile

And i hope that you
Close your eyes
Block out the pain
Of a thousand lives
I hope that you
Die tonight
Just close your eyes
There goes the light
Smile i'll brave it
While you wave your hand
Goodbye

It's sixteen miles to the promised land
And i promise you i'm doing the best i can
Don't fool yourself in thinking you're more than a man
'Cause you'll probably end up dead
I visit these mountains with frequency and i stand here with my arms up
Some days last longer than others
But this day by the lake went too fast
And if you want me you better speak up
I won't wait
So you'd better move fast
Don't fool yourself in thinking you're more than you are
With your arms outstretched to me

In steep cliffs with rocks all piled up mysteries of your passing luck
Ages past shells and bits of bone forming new limestone
To give things their turn
There are no bad words for the coast today
You never knew why you felt so good
In the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late and mall parking lots
On holidays
There are no bad words for the coast today
When we hold our breath until nothing's left
It all starts to fade
We can see the stars from where the birds make their homes
Staring back at us
Indifferent but distanced perfectly projected endlessly
It's so fucking beautiful
There are no bad words for the coast today
Then you ask what's a palisade
And if we're too late for happiness?

And I'm not going back into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold

and I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining but now I'm gold
Hooray hooray I'm your silver lining
Hooray hooray but now I'm gold.

And I was your silver lining
High up on my toys
Well you were running through fields of hitchhikers
As the story goes

hooray hooray I'm your silver lining
Hooray hooray but now I'm gold
Hooray hooray I'm your silver lining
Hooray hooray but now I'm gold

And the grass it was a ticking
And the sun was on the rise
I never felt so wicked
As when I willed our love to die

and I was your silver lining as the story goes
I was your silver lining but now I'm gold
Hooray hooray I'm your silver lining
Hooray hooray but now I'm gold
Hooray hooray I'm your silver lining
Hooray hooray but now I'm gold
But now I'm gold
But now I'm gold
But now I'm gold

She was born on a brightened pier
To a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears
Her good looks coulda sailed a ship
But her will alone coulda sunk it

Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich
But you die by it

It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call

Tell me now what would you do
Hanging back with the brutes
Hustlin' a pickpocket
That's no way to get rich

It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call

Business woman with good sense
If you live at all, you're gonna die by it
Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich, but then...

It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call

You've got the money maker
You've got the money maker
This is your chance to make it
Out out out oh yeah
You'll get out out out oh yeah

You've got the money maker
They showed the money to you
You showed them what you can do
Showed them your money
Make you get out out out oh yeah
You'll get out out out oh yeah

You are the money maker
She wants to overtake you
You know you wanna make her
Show her your money maker
She said out out out oh yeah
She said out out out oh yeah
You get out out out oh yeah
You get out out out oh yeah

And deep in my hands
I will if you want me to

She is out out out oh yeah
She is out out out oh yeah
You get out out out oh yeah
You get out out out oh yeah

it's not as if new york city
burnt down to the ground
once you drove away
it's not as if the sun won't shine
when clouds up above
wash the blues away

are we breaking up?
are we breaking up?
is there trouble between you and i?
did my heart break enough?
did it break enough this time?

here's to all the pretty words
we will never speak
here's to all the pretty girls
you're gonna meet

am i breaking up?
am i breaking up?
is there trouble on the line?
did your heart break enough?
did it break enough this time?

ooh it feels good to be free
ooh it feels good to be free
ooh it feels good to be free

betrayal is a thorny crown
you wear it well
just like a king
revenge is the saddest thing
honey, i'm afraid to say
you deserve everything

am i breaking up?
are we breaking up?
is there trouble between the lines?
did your heart break enough?
did it break enough this time?

ooh it feels good to be free
ooh it feels good to be free
ooh it feels good to be free

When you get sober
Will you get kinder
Cause when you get uptight
It's such a drag

When I get older
I won't remember
Until that day comes
I've got something on you

Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting

Under the blacklight
Under the blacklight

Even dead men
Lie in the their coffins
It's been a long time
Since you felt better

Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting

Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight

Somewhere in Laredo
Borders a soft man
Like a black widow
I'll be crawling

Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight

Down in the valley
Up in the dark blue
Under the blacklight
Under the blacklight

She was the girl with the string around her neck,
With the boy who could only give her less.
It could be more if she learned to never expect,
And now she's her and him and then a baby next.

The wedding bells won't ring, but she couldn't care less,
You exist, when you're living in a dream world.

He grew up drinking milk from the cow, from the farm.
He was the traitor's father's father's father.
His father made him go give back to his country.
He gave his both knees, his overseas to fight the disease.

It's spreading fast over maps and it don't look back,
When you're living in a dream world.

It is a lion's science fiction wings,
Just like a jolly dizzy for zero, one, three times
The size of the people that came before.
Me and you and what we'd do for money.

This greed and jealousy turn to need.
See, I'm a man with a plan to use my hands.
I'm touching yours, you're the girl who wanted more.
Now baby, the story has faded from love to lie.

The clover under your feet is shooting stars in the night.
The people under your feet are shooting stars in the night.
The people, all that you meet, they're living in a dream world

Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa

I got a mind if you wanna waste it
I got a man if you wanna fake it
I got someone if you wanna get wasted
I got a place if you wanna...

Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Just say so

I got a tail if you wanna chase it
I got a tongue if you wanna taste it
I got a place on the east side
I got some time if you wanna...

Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Just say so

Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa

My mama is an atheist
If i stay out late she don't get pissed
I got a place if you wanna go
I got some time if you wanna...

Ready to go
Ready to go
(when you're) ready to go
Just say so

She sleeps on your right side
She gets nailed, i get tied
I sleep on your left side
Hundred ways to keep love alive

Ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Just say so

Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa
Dejalo, nuestra cosa

Twenty-five the season off dope
Three sheets to the wind like a clothes line rope
He's a spider on the web

She's a tiny woman, he could sense
Her developing body was just the beginning
She said is anybody out there

She was bruised like a cherry
Ripe as a peach
How could he have known
That she was only fifteen

And she came to him like a tick on the noose
Little blue eyed soul for his black and blues

T's a new move for the likes of me
Our skin is like grass
Let's smoke it real fast
Is anybody out there?

He was deep like a grave yard wide like TV
And how could he have known
That she'd be down for almost anything

But she was only, only, only fifteen

My oh my you pretty thing
It's about that time
For us to leave
Does your daddy have a shot gun?

He was deep like a graveyard
She was ripe like a peach
And how could he have known?
That she was only fifteen

She was only, only, only fifteen
She was only, only, only fifteen

my eyes burn everybody smokes,my eyes burn everybody smokes,
i smoke to but not as much as you,i do the smoke detector

there is a girl in a tank top,she is not wearing a bra,she looks so hot on the dance floor,she does the smoke detector

she says danger to the smoke detector
she says danger im the smoke detect-or

i took a man back to my room i was smokin him in bed,yeah i was smokin in bed this what he said
i took a man back to my room i was smokin in bed,yeah i was smokin in bed this is what he said,i said danger to the smoke detector,i said danger to the smoke detector

i said danger to the smoke detector

i said danger to the smoke detect-or


i said danger to the smoke detector,danger to the smoke detector

i said danger to the smoke detector,i said danger to the smoke detect-or

I been had and I been held
With the ghosts at bay
I been oaked and I been doped
And carried away

I been charred and I been scarred
On my own face
But i never thought I'd see you as I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away

I been clubbed and I been snubbed
By the dogs of LA
And I been burned and I been learned
In the same city

I been whored and I been gored
I been less and I been more
But I never thought I'd see you
As I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away

You were stuck in the badlands
Acting like a bad bad man
I been photographed and painted up
And I been in love only once

And I feared the best and loved the worst
And insisted that I go first
And watch your eyes as they poured
And I never really loved you more

And I never thought I'd see you
As I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried you away

And they put you in the ground
When the angels hung around
And the angels hung around
As they carried me away

You'll get your money
I'll get my friends
Hard living's forgiven
In the end

You got your troubles
I got mine
On a clear day I can
Read your mind

Ooh
It's like a battlefield inside

[Chorus]
You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I know you better
Than you want me to
Inside your pockets
And walking in your shoes

Ooh
It can get better if you try

[Chorus]

[Chorus 2]
I hope you
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love

I keep you close
In my wildest dreams
My rearview mirror
And you're waving to me
Our last goodbye

[Chorus 2 x2]
