Evan Dando

Found a place nothing's ever there
made a little space big enough to pitch a tent
a hideaway I hadn't ever gone
'til I whacked my way under the overgrowth
I found a place I found a place
I found a place I whacked my way
and looking back to discover my tracks
dirty hands and light through the branches

found myself a breathing place
got room to stand up straight
and if I wanna lay around I can
find way to pass the time
flat down or on my side
and in a while I close my eyes

you can
you can
come on

you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
wherever you go
you must talk to stangers
when you visit a new park
you might ask the park ranger
where you should park
you can be too rich
and you can be too thin
and you can take it with you
the things that you learn

I didn't ask, they shouldn't have told me
At first I laughed but now
It's sinking in fast, whatever they sold me
But baby

I don't wanna take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Til I hear it from you

* It gets hard, when memory's faded
And who gets what the say
It's likely they're, just jealous and jaded
or maybe

Til I hear it from you

I can't let it get me off
Break up my train of thought
As far as I know nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you

Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in, till we're talking about
Not stepping around it
Maybe

* Repeat

Til I hear it from you...

I'm lost in the see-through.
Pane always needs a bath.
Between a want and a need to,

Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path.

{Play verse chords}
My country was of thee
Now why'd you have to leave
How'd this come to have to pass
Butterscotch streetlamps mark my path

Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.
Mark my path, mark my path down.

Always paid the rent
but I've never set foot inside a tent
Can't build a fire to save my life
I lied about being the outdoor type

i've never slept out underneath the stars,
the closest that i came to that was one time my car
broke down for an hour in the suburbs at night
i lied about being the outdoor type.

Too scared to let you know you knew what you were looking for
I lied until I fit the bill god bless the great indoors
I lied about being the outdoor type
I've never owned a sleeping bag let alone a mountain bike

i can't go away with you on a rock climbing weekend
what if somethings on tv and its never shown again
its just as well i'm not invited i'm afraid of heights
i lied about being the outdoor type

Never learned to swim can't grow a beard or even fight
I lied about being the outdoor type

Lover don't turn your head.
Just let me walk away.
I thought I might have to say,
you're asking the wrong guy.

She wonders how.
Thinks she knows now.
She'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.

Is nothing okay with you.
Is nothing okay with me.
Is anything happening to have to go to sea.
He wonders why. The indigo guy,
He'll be right.
They always go bye the bye.
The great big no. Great big no.
Great big no. Great big no.

Everyone knows everything
Everyone knows everything
Nobody, nobody has got no one to go to.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.
Great big no.

Whoah (Lover don't turn your head.)
Lover don't turn your head.
No. (Lover don't turn your head.)
Is nothing okay with you?

This is the spot of where I jump off
This is the place I wear the save face
This is the bar of where I lose heart
Over the pain and I'm past the bleeding
Its not the tracks its where they're leading
This my best king carnivore
This is my scream its just a dull roar
These are my hands I've shown you before
Over the pain and I'm past the bleeding
Its not the tracks its where they're leading
Hasn't been so bad yet I'll do it again
Error of my ways, maybe one of these days

Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
I don't wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down

Don't wanna think twice
I don't have to think twice
But I'm not gonna get high
I I'm not gonna get stoned

Style

Not gonna come round
I don't wanna come down
I just want a killer line
And I'll figure it out myself

Don't wanna get stoned
I don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Style

It's no trick to decide on your own
You feel it when you feel fine later on
A shower you can't depend on at all
It's too hot then it's too cold then it's warm
Something's missing something's missing
Something's missing something's missing
From my life
The things I don't multiply and divide when
I just can't decide been here before
It's gonna come back again been here before
It's gonna come back my friend
Something's missing something's missing
Something's missing something's missing
From my life
I ain't quiet deep inside I ain't even on my side
Something's missing from my life
There's nowhere I really wanted to stay and
Nothing really makes it ok
Nothing really makes it ok
There's nowhere I really wanted to stay
Something's missing something's missing
Something's missing

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.
Nothing there in my glass.
Wasn't air meant to last.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

All the way down to the lake,
(Found the lake was wet).
How much more could I take,
(Better yet).
Walked back home to my place,
(Tired of getting high).
Guess I don't want to die.

Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.
Hope in my past.

Waiting for some thin' to break.
Left my heart out to bake.

Slipped my mind that I could use my brain.
I'll stay up all night and crash on the plane.

Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a
Ship without a rudder.

Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a
Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a ship without a
Rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder.

She takes me on a rocking stroll,
If you won't wave guess I won't know.
As I roll by I hope you'll throw a smile at me.
'Cause this here pram is all I've known.
I won't be walking till I've grown.
All I've been shown is everything I want to see.

People's knees and trunks of trees smile at me.

Looking upward to the sky, moving forward all the time.
The sidewalk lines, "gadunk-gadunk-gadunk-gdai"
If it's warm in here is it cold down there?
Around out where I can only stare.
I'm still aware of little but I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try. Oh!

Don't wanna get stoned
Don't wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna not get stoned
I don't wanna not get stoned

Don't wanna get high
I don't wanna get high
But I don't wanna not get high
And I don't wanna not get stoned

Wanna knock things down
I'm not gonna knock things down
But I don't wanna not get stoned
So I'm not gonna not knock things down

One of the reasons
I came all this way
Two opposite seasons
I had to hear you say

You were gonna hang around a while
I notice my postcard in a pile
One, two, three, four

Pepper, salt, sugar and tarragon
We're hanging by the pool
Mortar bricks and aluminum
Step one, figure two

I know it's probably not my place
Watch the water drain different way
One, two, one, two, three

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
If I could you know I'd try to

Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out
It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without

It's not what you do to me
It's what you do without
Pop it to lock it
Come on let's map it out

If I could you know I'd try to
Rest assured I've half a mind to
Ask the other half if I might
Rest assured

Could you see your way clear
and arrange your eyes away from mine
Sorry I'm here
but you get paid get paid to lie
You get paid to smile

Would you really say hello
and let me carry my own guitar
and please don't hold the door
I can work the handle on any car
It's really not that hard

smile, paid to smile
smile, paid to smile
oooh

the cigarette girl took off her tray
and dropped her dress in a shiny pile
pulled her pants up on her way
when gets home she'll laugh a while
she gets paid to smile

smile
smile
smile
smile
smile
smile

One more time baby one more time
You're thinking of me baby one more time
One more time baby one more time
You were adobe me baby one more time
One more time baby one more time
Do you have to say you love me baby one more time
One more time baby one more time
One more time
One more time
