I'm never going back never going back to you
I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to drive by your house


I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good

I hear a voice from the back of the room
I hear a voice cry out you want something good
Well, come on a little closer let me see your face
Yeah, come on a little closer by the front of the stage
I said come on a little closer I got something to say
Yeah, come on a little closer wanna see your face

I'm free now to direct a movie
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great I'm really just a fuck-up
And It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Oh
I'm free now
Free to look out the window
Free to live my story
Free to sing along
Oh (x4)
I'm free now to direct a movie
Sing a song or write a book about yours truly
How I'm so interesting I'm so great but I'm really just a fuck-up
It's such a waste to burn down these wall around me
Flexing like a heartbeat we don't like to speak
Don't talk to me for about a week I'm sorry it just hurts to explain
There's something going on that makes my guts ache inside
I got guilt I got fear I got regret
I'm just a panic stricken waste I'm such a jerk
I was honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Honest I swear the last thing I want to do
Is ever cause you pain
Oh (x2)

She had black hair
Like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down

She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that swerved all over the road

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong

She had a way of making people
Feel good to be around her
As it should be

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch
And I collapse inside

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

Candy told me nothing really matters anymore
And when I ask her what she means she says I ought to know
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy says she wonders why we try
I couldn't think of what to say
I had no ready reply
But Candy says I'd like it where she is
She says it's an opportunity that I don't want to miss
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she's made arrangements for me in the sand
And Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland
Candy said she wants me with her down in Candyland (x3)

I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings

And I can see so far away
I can see so clear
You would not believe
The view up here

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

Now I'm floating around up here
Way above the clouds
So high
Above the ground

And the only thing that
Holds my head to the ground
Is this
One little skinny string

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

I got a head with, yeah, ohh
A head with wings

I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings
I got a head with wings

And I can see so far away
Yeah, so far away
I can see the shadows fall
Across your face

I got a head with wings
A head with wings

I got a head with, yeah, yeah
A head with wings
A head with wings
Yeah, yeah

Last night I told a stranger all about you
They smiled patiently with disbelief
I always knew you would succeed
No matter what you tried

And I know you did it all
In spite of me

Still I'm proud to have know you
For the short time that I did
Glad to have been a step up on your way
Proud to be part of your illustrious career

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me

Late last night I saw you in my living room
You seemed so close but yet so cold
For a long time I thought that
You'd be coming back to me
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel
So cruel

And I know you did it all
In spite of me, in spite of me

We used to meet every Thursday Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers and a game of pool
We used to go to a motel a motel
A motel across the street
And the name of the motel was the Wagon Wheel
Oh
One day she said come on come on she said
Why don't you come back to my house
She said my husband's out of town
You know he's gone till the end of the month
Well I was just so nervous so nervous
You know I couldn't really quite relax
Cause I was never really quite sure when her
Husband was coming back
Sure one of the neighbors yea one of the neighbors
One of the neighbors that saw my car
And they told her yea they told her
I think they know who you are
Well her husband he's a violent man a very violent and jealous man
Now I have to leave this town I got to leave while I still can
We should have kept it every Thursday Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers and a game of pool
We should have kept it every Thursday Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers and a game of pool
She was pretty good too

Where is the ritual
And tell me where, where is the taste?
Where is the sacrifice
And tell me where, where is the faith?

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
Find a cure for pain

Where is the cave, where the wise woman went
And tell me where, where's all that money that I spent
I propose a toast to my self control
You see it crawling helpless on the floor

Someday there'll be a cure for pain
That's the day I throw my drugs away
When they find a cure for pain
When they find a cure for pain
Find a cure, find a cure for pain

Cross my fingers and I hope to God
I knock on wood and pray with all I've got
Cross my bow with a cannonball
I see the writing on the wall hey
There's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Yea who to dog who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name
I fell into the hands of a rich man's daughter
She led me like a lamb no bother
To go and live inside a barn on her Daddy's 90 acre farm
Hide your daughters in the snow and watch out for the undertow
Hold both hands against the door and dig your feet into the floor
Tell ya there's no map and there's no clue
Of where to go and what to do
Who to dog and who to ride and who to hold
Forever by your side (x2)
Mary won't you call my name (x2)
Mary won't you call my (x2)
Mary won't you call my name

Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit
Breathing the cold black space
With the glistening edges
Let's take a trip me and you
Let's go the scenic route
Get to finally (x3)
Get to know each other
Just to be alone (x2)
Just to be alone with thee
Somewhere there's no distracting breeze of information
Leaking through the windows dripping from the trees
Somewhere there's no earthquakes
Of other people's anxious questions
No nervous wrecks going down (x2)
Let's take a trip together
Headlong into the irresistible orbit

Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, a beautiful cat
Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Yeah, the beautiful cat says, Shelia, Shelia

Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, a beautiful cat
She takes the cat, looks him in the eyes
Makes him reply Shelia, Shelia

Oh, most gracious of beings
Oh, most gracious of beings, my queen
I'm yours to command, yours to command
I'm yours to command, Shelia, Shelia

Shelia has a cat, she pets the cat
Puts a spell on the cat, she runs her fingers down his back
'Cause Shelia has a cat, puts a spell on the cat
Looks him in the eyes makes him reply, Shelia Shelia
Shelia Shelia

You're good, good, good, good
You're good, good, good, you're good

Somethin' tells me, somethin' tells me
Somethin' tells me, you can read my mind
Somethin' tells me, somethin' tells me
Somethin' tells me, you can read my mind

Somethin' tells me, you can read my mind
Your brain is callin' to me one more time

On my first day back, first day back in town
First day, my first day back in town
The clouds up above, they were hummin' our song
Hummin', hummin' our song

My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me

I set my course, sailed away from shore
Steady, steady as she goes
I crash in the night, two worlds collide
But when two worlds collide no one survives, no one survives
And the reddest of reds, bluest of blues
The saddest of song I'll sing for you

And my biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
My biggest fear is if I let you go
You'll come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
Come and get me in my sleep
Come and get me
Come and get me in my sleep

Treat me wrong, Honey I don't care
You never liked me much anyways
You told me, "Meet you about half past eight"
You said you'd kill me if I was late, Claire

Oh, Claire

You drove me up and down the street
You used me up like gasoline
I still remember everything you said
That's the reason I had to say away from Claire

Oh Claire
Oh Claire

[Inaudible]
That's funny you know
I don't miss you at all, not even a little
You bitch
I still love you

I still remember seeing you sleep
All twisted up inside the sheets
And I still remember everything you said
Every time I hear your name, Claire

Oh Claire
Oh Claire
Claire

I feel lucky, I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
Now I'm siting at a Blackjack table
And swear to God the dealer has a tag says 'Mabel'
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel
Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day

Mabel gives me a great big smile
She's getting to know me, she's on my side
I'm a winner and I came to play
Now I know why they say

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot
I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop
Yeah my luck has changed but she'll come back
That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't lose forever but I'm doomed to try
Because I keep on hearing a voice inside

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Your mind and your experience call to me
You have lived and your intelligence is sexy
I want to know what you got to say (x3
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain (x8
You think like a whip on a horse's back
Stretched out to the limit you make it crack
Send that horse round and round the track
I want to know what you got to say (x3
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain (x16
Yea you look like rain
You look like rain
