Sometime maybe
You could come
Inside
I’ve forgotten
Where I’m supposed to
Hide
Out the backdoor
Where you won’t hope to
Find
I’m not laughin’
I’m not cryin’
I’m just trying
To forget this time
I’m not talkin’
I’m not listenin’
I’m just watchin’
Television
I’m still laughin’
I’m still breathin’
I’m not dyin’
Every evening
Come my lover
Like no other
Like my mother
Like my father
Kill me slowly
With our last kiss
This time’s different
This I promise

One More Mile
04:05
|
|||
Almost at light speed
Blazin’ down the road
A midsummer night’s dream
I once kissed a toad
Can’t get what I need
Certainly not from you
Can’t hit the right speed
I got too much to do
Can’t help from needing
Got a bad frame of mind
Can’t help from reading
What’s in between the lines
I need it, I need it
I need it so bad
Send help I beat myself
All of the time
Just can’t conceive of
A better frame of mind
Hundred miles an hour
On my ride
Down the street and
Out of sight
One more mile and
Then I take a right
Racing darkness
Lit streetlight
One more smile and
Then I left your side
Down the street and
Out of sight
One more mile and
Then I take a right
All alone in
The moonlight
Just one more mile
Just one more mile
I need it, I need it
Just one more mile
Just one more mile
Just one more mile
Just one more mile
yah

Frantic Start
07:04
|

And in the night time again
The music keeps goin’
But not till the morning
New dawning for quiet
It’s a new age of sleep comin’
From way over there
I’ve seen it
In my dreams
And in my dreams
I’m on the job
There I am
Here I am
You had a cool quiet morning
I had a frantic start
Beer burns holes through my liver
Love just stops my heart
On an otherwise peaceful mornin’
I wake up without rest
My heart pounds like thunder
Beats right out my chest
Everyday I wake unrested
But I give it all I got
Leave the ring un-bested
I gave it all I got
On an otherwise peaceful morning
I had a frantic start
I gave you a lot of grief
Cuz ya stole my heart
Hey you stole my heart
Hey you stole my heart

Winners Circle
03:54
|

On a cold indifferent winter
I’m roped behind the winners circle
Try and find me laughing
I can’t, too cold to move a muscle
Draped museum blankets
I’m hiding in the foreground
Can’t you hear me knockin’
It’s cold out here, come let me in
Don’t look so pathetic
No don’t let yourself sweat it
I’m sick from musty blankets
I’m gonna need a medic
Just say you want it better
Come on now whats the matter?
I’m sick of musty blankets
I’m gonna need a sweater
Just say you want it better
You don’t want it better
Just say you want it better
Don’t you want it better
Lost inside an empty building
Locks latched on to all the doors
Beneath my woolen blanket
I’m spilled across the cement floor
Under cover, below ground
I’m breathing faint without a sound
Old museum carpet
Payin’ for it pound for pound
And the rain comes down
Washes my old hide
And the sun breaks through
In time for me to hide
I cannot believe that
Nothing’s everlasting
Rain washed
Across my hide
Mocking bird
I’m walkin’ blind
Mocking bird
I’m walkin’ blind
I look hurt
But I don’t mind
Just say you want it better
You don’t want it better
Just say you want it better
Now don’t you want it better
Just say you want it better
You don’t want it better
Just say you want it better
Come on I want it better

Sunny Disposition
04:35
|

I’m lookin’ for my friends
But they’re nowhere to be found
I’m lookin’ for my friend
But she’s nowhere to be found
You talk in the voice
And pick up the gun
Oh, you rob me blind
When you talk in that voice
And pick up the gun
Oh, you rob me blind
When you talk in that voice
And pick up the gun
Oh, you rob me blind
You rob me blind
You rob me blind
You rob me blind
A round of applause
Alarming thunder
Don’t say that
There’s something rotten in the water
When the fires came and
Cleaned up all the grime
A round the corner
I told you take a left
No one here
Everybody left upset
When the police came and
Cleaned up all the crime
Aroused suspicion
A lit ignition
But I’m not pressed
I got a sunny disposition
While I watch them go and
Fade out in the night
A drowsy notion
Slow locomotion
I’m robbed of sleep
I’m carryin’ a heavy load
When daybreak comes I
Burn up in the light
And the sun always goes away
Leavin’ behind another day
Another night, another kid
Guided by the amber light
Walkin’ through the fog, always
Rejected by the mob
On the run, havin’ fun
Chasin’ down a distant sun which
Rises every morning, igniting
Hearts like mine and yours
And maybe his and hers, keep on pleasing,
Keep on beating, bleeding hearts, keep on
Rising every morning, keep on
Fighting, here’s your warning
Cuz someday
The sun won’t rise again

Wartime
09:35
|

With the lights out
No one sees me fadin’ away
Waiting for the wind to blow
Changes comin’ around this way, I’m comin’
Back, I never shoulda left
This time it’s war
This time it’s personal
So ring the bell
God grant me courage
God grant me strength
Give me what I need
I need you right now
And with the lights out
Everyone is holding their breath
Waiting for the bombs to drop
Hey, get behind me, I’ll take it
Back, shoulda never gave it away
It’s no use to you now
It was no use to you then
So give it back, back, back, back, back, back
God grant me courage
God grant me grace
Give me what I need
I need it right now
God grant me courage
I could sure use it right now
I took too much
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
God grant me courage
I could sure use it right now
I took too much
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
God grant me courage
I could sure use it right now
I took too much
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
God grant me courage
I could sure use it right now
I took too much
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Another day under wartime
Ring the bells
The suns goin’ down

Hello missus Robinson
Your order is a godsend
Your broken heart will soon mend
Just gotta have some patience
By nightfall you will call
The number wrote on your wall
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
Oh I’m so glad to meet you
I hope you’re doin’ well, it’s been
So hard to reach you, but
Now’s your time to sell
Cuz one day you will say
I won’t work and don’t play
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
Don’t harm me, I’m just a boy
Don’t harm me, I’m just a boy
Oh you’re killin’ me with kindness
I’d pay to see you undressed
I’m learning about safe sex
Give it to me goddess
Cuz someday I’ll have you
I’ll be the one you’ll turn to
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
You’ll call me, you’ll call me
Don’t harm me I’m just a boy
Don’t harm me, I’m just a boy
Don’t harm me, I’m just a boy
Oh don’t harm me, don’t harm me
Don’t harm me, don’t harm me
Don’t harm me
I’m just a boy
