Ten pounds and a head of hair
Came into without a care What they thought were cries Were little laughs Only looking forward and moving fast The little bundle had arrived And i was happy to be alive In a magic world Long days and dreaming nights Wide eyes take in all the sights A little wonder goes a long, long way Learning where to go and what to say Say hello to your new son Well he sure is having fun In a magic world Every moment's built to last When you're living without a past In a magic world |

Mother couldn't love me
But that didn't stop me From liking her She was my mom And I was no son of a bitch Daddy was a drunk A most unpleasant man Asleep on the floor Just inside the front door With a smile underneath his red nose The wrong look his way Well that could really wreck his day And believe me when I say It would wreck your day too Grandma took me in Though times were pretty thin Said I was no son of a bitch Down on my knees Begging god please |

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees Blinking down a Morse code signal Especially for me Ain't no rainbow in the sky In the middle of the night But the signal's coming through One day I will be alright again Blinking lights on the highway cars Stopping one by one Get a look at the accident Didn't see that one coming And the doctor in the sky Gonna bring his chopper down Gonna bring me out alive And set me on the ground Once more again Blinking lights on the airplane wings Up above the trees |

There's nothing that i wanna do More than get alone and be with you Trouble with dreams is they don't come true And when they do they can't catch up to you You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams I'm walking down a lonely road Clear to me now but i was never told Trouble with dreams is you never know When to hold on and when to let go If you let me down it's alright At least that leaves something for me 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams This is the life that i must lead now Crossing fingers and wiping brow Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend Something with no beginning has an end You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got an awful lot of big dreams |

You think you'll get under ol' monsieur's lid
And try to imagine all the things that he did You don't know where i'm gonna go You don't know where i'll go I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live Wake up in the night and think of all the years Falling from the ceiling and covering your ears You don't know how you're gonna get out You don't know how you'll get out I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live Call up your best friend And tell him a lie You've got to be kidding I'm not really high I dont know where i'm gonna go I don't know where i'll go I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live |

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for A safe place to rest the night away We will go down to the brook and Sit upon the overlook then Forget about the troubles of the day We will walk among the graves of Men long dead with presidents' names and Listen to the water flow softly by I will kiss you on the lips now And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down And let the water wash away all lies In the yard, behind the church where Butterflies and blackbirds perch on Grey stones as the garden's growing dim We will lay down on the ground and Put our cheeks against the dirt down Where it no longer matters Where you've been |

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line Hummin' along old dominion blues Not much to see and not much left to lose And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And i guess i may never understand The times that i live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Getting on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now And this train is just too slow And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back |

It's a beautiful morning
The sky is black as ink The city's sleeping still And soon they'll wake up To the stink And soon they'll wake up To the stink of life passing them by Wake up and smell the stink of their lives The garbage trucks are coming To take your shit to the dump You're smelling pretty now Such a pretty little lump A pretty little lump of flesh Who's lost your way Another night another day And when you sleep at night Dreaming of the pretty things Don't be too surprised When the telephone rings I'll be sitting here Waiting for the other shoe to drop I'll be sitting here Waiting for the other shoe to drop |

When you called
Your voice was so grave I knew it would be The last time we spoke You said something That I couldn't bear To hear with my own ears The last time we spoke And it's a hard time Trying to get through All the days that drag on Thinking about you Nothing hurts Like someone who knows Everything about you Leaving you behind And it's a hard time Trying to get through All the days that drag on Thinking about you When you called You might as well have killed me And that was the last time The last time we spoke |

Maybe I should tell you I may check out At any given time Things won't get better Until they get much worse Is the curse stronger than me Or am I stronger than the curse Everyone is scared of me And I'm scared of me too Never know just what I'm gonna do Heads up, kittens Everything is bad The sky is dark now But it's the best dark I ever had Hang on to a little thing And let it guide the way Bring it with you to Another day I've got something Maybe I should tell you I'm hanging on here And I'm really gonna try Things won't get better Until they get much worse Am I stronger than the curse |

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear
And i'm a little too late By three or four years And it may not make much sense Now that we are apart But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart You see i never thought enough of myself To realize that losing me could mean Something like the tears in your eyes And i want to tell you i'm sorry And it's too late to start But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart And it's christmas eve Years down the line Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better When you were mine And i have no way of knowing where you are But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't know what i was doing But i know what i have done |

Miss o'malley didn't mean what she said
Got a heart but a head full of lead She can dream but she never can do it You're alright and you're gonna get through it People spend their days Trying to find new ways To put you down all over town But they're not fit To lick your boots Nothing harder to watch Than an englishman Trying to cry Even if he can He can dream but he never can do it Saying you -- you're the one that blew it People spend their days Trying to find new ways To put you down all over town But they're not fit To lick your boots |

The Feeling of understanding is very rare
For someone like me it's hard to find Somebody to care She's got a way about her Changes everything She's got a way about her She's my sweet lil' thing Making love with her indie rock Playing on the stereo Holding hands going down the road When she drives me home She's got a magic about her Makes me want to sing She's got a magic about her She's my sweet lil' thing Spent the day lying in her bed My nose against hers Later we went for a drive Didn't know where we were Man I never felt so alive Nobody gets the girl But baby I do Nobody gets me either But she sees through She's got a glow around her Shines on everything She's got a glow around her She's my sweet lil' thing |

Blue light is flickering
Through the city streets One billion TV sets Glowing off concrete One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats But when he goes to bed He wonders where he's at Thrift store shirts and old haircuts Living in an old sitcom Whatever happened to soy bomb The day is coming when you'll have to think of it Was it really worth it All that shit Blue light is flickering Through the cloudy sky On billion lonely hearts Beat until they die One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb |

Dear cousin,
I got your letter It was more than i thought i deserved Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of And i dream about so much it is absurd But when i get there and she sees me I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming My kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time I had a thought while i was sleeping And i dreamed about a place for us to rest Eternity under the old oak tree But i go too far i guess Maybe i'll think about tomorrow And maybe i can get her to stay that long 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time And if she finds me so repulsive She wouldn't be the first to wretch Well i decided one day long ago I was never gonna be the greatest catch And if she cares about the car i drive Then she can get in hers The moment i arrive 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time |

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place Where else could a creep like me Meet such a pretty face Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done Used to always feel like Wished that i was dressed better Never had a lot of luck Until i finally met her Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton Lifted off my shoulders now My losing streak is done Always felt like giving in To the feeling i can't win But i took it on the chin Now i'm finally cashing in Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done My losing streak is done I said my losing streak is done Did you hear me I said my losing streak is done |

I can't live in a world that you have left behind
Seen a lot, been through too much But this is where i draw the line It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you December is a lonely month In a year of lonely days It's hard to tell which way is up Or down or out Or through the haze People cheat and people lie While you just watch it all go by Counting days until you die The stars shine in the sky tonight Like a path beyond the grave When you wish upon that star There's two of us you need to save It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you |

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange I get up early in the morning No matter how disappointed I was With the day before It feels new I don't leave the house much I don't like being around people Makes me nervous and weird I don't like going to show either It's better for me to stay at home Some might think it means I hate people But that's not quite right I got a dog I take him for a walk And all the people like to say hello I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks I'm learning how to say hello Withou too much trouble I'm turning out just like my father Though I swore I never would Now I can say that I have love for him I never really understood What it must have been like for him Living inside his head I feel like hi's here with me now Even though he's dead It's not all good and it's not all bad Don't believe everything you read I'm the only one who knows what it's like So I thought I'd better tell you Before I leave So in the end I'd like to say That I'm a very thankful man I tried to make the most of my situation And enjoy what I had I knew true love and I knew passion And the difference between the two And I had some regrets But if I had to do it all again Well, it's something I'd like to do |
