Paul Westerberg

Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Drifting body it's sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home?
Have I gone?
And left you here alone?
If I would, could you?

Oh, tonight began with anything
Shadows, a light, a warm breath and a scream, ah yeah...
Oh, tamper if you like between the doors, oh yeah...huh...huh...
Oh, can't expect to go out...to go out...
With anything...anything more...
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
And a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
All these reaching hands out grabbin' things, grabbin' me
Day in, day out, accumulating, ah yeah
Whoa, I suggest you step out on your porch
Oh yeah, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah...
Run away my son, to see it all...oh, see the world
Oh, reach the door...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
Oh, and a nada lada yeah...
Life ain't what it's worth...a breath and a scr...oh, reach the door
Come...here it comes...there it goes...when it comes...
Where it goes...where it comes...can't see through the faith...
Ooh, come...here it comes...there it goes, grasp what you can...
Don't you know there's something inside your hand, yeah...
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there...
There's much more than this, ooh...whoa, much more than this
Oh, see the world...much more than, oh...
Much more than...
Why?

Summer nights and long warm days
are stolen as the old moon falls
my mirror shows another face
another place to hide it all
sleeping with a full moon blanket
sand and feathers for my head
dreams have never been my answer
dreams have never been my bed
now i wanna cry about the storm
but you can't grow feathers in the rain
and this naked floor is cold as you
this naked floor remains
and i'm lost, behind
the words i’ll never find
and i'm left behind
as seasons roll on by
would you crawl into my world
and take me worlds away
should i be beside myself
i might even stay

Na nanana na nanana na na
na na na na nana etc.
Ah ah ah...
You shoot me glances and they're so hard to read
I misconstrue what you mean
Slip me a napkin and now that you start
Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?
I try and comprehend you but I got a dyslexic heart
I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart
Thanks for the book, now my table is ready
Is this a library or bar?
Between the covers I thought you were ready
A half-angel, half-tart
Do I read you correctly, lead me directly
Help me with this part
Do I hate you? Do I date you?
Do I got a dyslexic Heart?
You keep swayin'... what are you sayin'?
Thinking 'bout stayin'?
Or are you just playing, making passes
Well, my heart could use some glasses
Try and comprehend you
I got a dyslexic heart
Do I read you correctly,
I need you directly
I only went this far
Do I love you do I hate you
I got a dyslexic heart
Na na na na na, etc

Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone.
Oh, dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the morn - ing light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all.
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe,
Rest not to lock your homes.
Side by side we wait the might
Of the darkest of them all.
I hear the horses' thunder
Down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon,
Waiting for the eastern glow.
The apples of the valley hold,
The seas of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care,
Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Oh,-------dance in the dark of night,
sing to the morning light.
The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.
Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad
That mortals never know.
Oh, well, the night is long, The beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, Waiting for the eastern glow.
The pain of war cannot exceed
The woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall,
The ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.
Sing as you raise your bow,
Shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night
That lights the face so cold.
Oh dance in the dark of night,
Sing to the mornin' light.
The magic runes are writ in gold
To bring the balance back, Bring it back.
At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness
The sunlight blinds his eyes.

You ever heard the story of Mr. Faded Glory?
Say he who rides a pony must someday fall
I been talkin' to my alter
Life is what you make it
And if you make it death well then rest
your soul away
Away away yeah child
It's a broken kind of feeling
She'd have to tie me to the ceiling
A bad moon's a comin' better say your
prayers
I wanna tell her that I love her
But does it really matter?
I just can't stand to see you dragging down
Again
So I'm singing
This is my kinda love It's the kind that
moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
I uses to treat you like a lady
Now you're a substitute teacher
This bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight
I owe the man some money so I'm turnin
over honey
You see Mr. Faded Glory is once again
doin' time
This is my kinda love
It's the kind that moves on
It's unkind and leaves me alone
Yes it does
Like a crown of thorns it's all who you
know
So don't burn your bridges woman cause
someday, yeah
Kick it!
Baby i said com' on, com' on, com' on,
com' on yeah I said baby don't burn your
bridges woman

Lying like needles
On forest earth
Euphoric rush
Trees bend to pray for us
I'm sputtering
Like cold machines
Late for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual, ritual
You can drive my tail
To watch the circus
A (birth?) ritual
A birth of idiots
Now I woke up blessed
And good strives for heart ache
Marked for the death ritual, ritual, ritual

*As you start the song
And face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
Now you see your crime
For every miracle
Add another drug at every birth ritual
I took the drug
To make me stay
And now everything
Dies in shyness
The snake retreats
Admits defeat
And waits for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual

*Repeat

Shining light
Child's highs
Mark his sides
Bright until the newness wears off

*Repeat

woooh

state of love and trust as i busted down the pretext
sin still plays and preaches but to have an empty court, uh huh

Everybody loves us
Everybody loves our town
That's why I'm thinkin' lately
Time for leavin' is now
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
Everybody loves us
Man they give me the creeps
And you're up there, shirtless and flexin'
Display of a macho freak
Now you've got your attention
And you've gone so very far
They gave you your very own spotlight
Just like some real rock star
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
(Show 'em Stevie)
You got a sackfull of candy
All I got was a rock
They got you by your big business boy
Next you know you're packin extra socks
Everybody loves us
Everybody's gettin kinda old
Couldn't hold a regular job
Long live rock 'n' roll
Hey hey hey hey
It's so overblown
It's all over and done

Waterfall
Nothing can harm me at all
My worries seem so very small
With my waterfall
I can see my rainbow calling me yeah
Through the misty breeze of my waterfall
Some people say day-dreaming is
For the all the lazy minded fools with nothing else to do
So let them laugh laugh at me
So just as long as i have you to see me through
I have nothing to lose long as i have you
Waterfall
Don't ever change your ways
Fall with we for a million days
Oh my waterfall

Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let's try to see now
Drag me far enough to know
I'm blind every mile that you burn
There's a rider that's fallen and
It's clear there's no time to return
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let's try to see now
Did you hear the distant lie
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to see now
I nearly lost you there.

No matter where you are, I can still hear you when you drown
You've traveled very far Just to see you I'll come around, when I'm down
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
No matter where you are, I can still hear you when you dream
You traveled very far
You traveled far, like a star
And you are
All of those yesterdays
Coming around
Is it something someone said?
Was it something someone said?
Yesterday the sky was you
And I still feel the same
Nothing left for me to do
And I still feel the same
I wish, I wish I could fly
I wish, I wish I could lie
I will, I will try
I will, I will
Goodbye

He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lend you a hand.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

*Sunshine go away today
Don't feel much like dancing
Some man's gone he's trying to run my life
Don't know what he's asking

He tells me I better get in line
I can't hear what he's saying
When I grow up I'm gonna make him mine
Please help dude I'm in pain

**How much does it cost ?
I'll buy it
The time is all we lost
I'll try it

He can't even run his own life
Be damned if he'll run mine
Sunshine

*Repeat

When working starts to make me wonder to wear
The feats are what I do, I'm going
He says in love and war all is fair
He's got cards he ain't showing

**Repeat

He can't even run his own life
Be damned if he'll run mine
Sunshine
Sunshine go away today
I can't feel much like singing
And this old world, she's gonna turn around
The brand new bells will be a-ringing

It ain't no big deal that,I feel you are layin' him
I see you lain against the floor
It ain't nobody's business
Who you see or who you kiss
I feel you breathing in the hall

*It's okay, Stained and not for fun
I won't stain your blood
I won't stain love

*Repeat

Got an eye for an exit
And an ear that just begs to
I hear does anybody here think you're great
Forever they ignore us
Not the guys that only bores us
Together we're gonna love everything that they hate

*Repeat

I don't care
If she's right
Cross my heart
Hope to die
Is it love?

They're gonna talk about us
They're gonna stare when we walk by
They're gonna talk about us
For the first time in our lives

*Repeat

Is it love? Is it love?

Get up from a dream
and I look for rain
Take an amphetamine
and a crushed rat's brain
How am I feelin
Better I suppose
How am I lookin
I don't want the truth
What am I doin
I ain't in my youth
I'm past my prime
Or was that just a pose
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those

I've been accused of never opening up
You get too close
Then I keep my mouth shut
I'm gonna run to the wind
Where the big bad city blows
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those

You can dress to the eights
You can dress to maim
It'll make you feel great
This fortune and fame
Wearing too much makeup
Not near enough clothes
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those

So don't pin your hopes
Or pin your dreams
To misanthropes or guys like me
The truth is overrated
I suppose
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by on those
It a wonderful lie
and I still get by...

Cheekbones and hormones
Your only self-defense
Lying through dinner
And your rock and roll teeth again
You've harbored a coward
Fed him full of broth
This nocturnal sadness
Leave you pale as this tablecloth
Careful don't you spill your dinner
That would be a good defense
Then you wouldn't have to sit here
On the fence

Cheekbones and hormones
He's the accidental man
Tell you in a stage whisper
about the boy who cried benefit
As the poet drags the darkness
Within him to the light
It's only in self-defense
That they drag you out into the night
Careful don't you spill your dinner
That would be your best defense
Careful what you wish for

An idiot and a genius
Standing up to dine
Breaking manmade laws
Cause I only follow those that are divine
And only when you're chased
Do you ever run fast
And it's wrong to commit a suicide
It's only in self-defense

I'm the best thing
That never happened
I'm the best thing
You never had
You're the best thing
that never happened
that never happened
It's really too bad
And I was the last thing
that you ever wanted
I'm the best thing
You never had

You were the first one
To turn me on
To turn me on fast
To turn me down flat
Cause I was the last thing
That you ever wanted
Still the best thing you never had
Now you don't know
What you're missing
You'll never know what you had
You'll never know what you're missing
oh yeah

I was the best thing
That never happened
The best thing you never had
You want the pick of the litter
Don't go away bitter
Now I wouldn't do that
I was the last thing
That you ever wanted
The best thing
You'll never have
And I'm the best thing
that never happened
The best thing
You'll never have
The best thing
You'll never have

The one who loves you most
Is giving up the ghost
And taking to the stage
Like a stone on a grave
Yeah I think of her
Every once in awhile
Every once in awhile
Forever
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
I'm lookin' out forever now
I'm lookin' out forever now
I'm lookin' out forever now yeah
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now yeah

Ain't nothing else I can say
Nothin' left to give her
Abandon the wind
I'm a bend in the river
Standing by the bank
They're calling me across
Think of me sometimes
When the river flows because
I'm lookin' out forever now
I love you now forever now
I love you now forever now yeah
God I know I'm going home
God I don't belong
Taste me in his kisses
Waste me in my prime
R eplace me with another
Think of me some time

When the lonliest eyes
And the emptiest arms
Finally decide to meet
With a head in a lap
And a tongue tied in knots
Then the lonliest eyes
Try and speak
You were born for me
Beautiful and blue
I could die here with you
For a couple of nights
You could say you're my wife
You could stay
or run away if you please
The heaviest head
and the emptiest hands
You'll be safe in the light
When we kiss
When we breathe
You were born for me
Beautiful and blue
I could die here with you
You were born for me
Beautiful and blue
Stay here with you


I can't bear it
I can't share it
With anybody in my little world
I can't hide it
I'll never find it
With another girl
When we kiss
When we breathe
You were born for me
Beautiful and blue
I could die here with you
I can't bear to
Try and share you
Well, I'm the one to talk
You're the one that's free
When you forget me
Then you'll let me
Fade away...
You'll always be
Born for me
Beautiful and blue
I could die here with you
You were born for me
Beautiful and blue
I could die here with you

All of the sun
That New York will allow
Is taking one last bow
and left
Let's throw this night
to the fuckin' wind
Don't ever want to hear
These words again
If only we had
I wish we did
You're my latest last chance
My final hurrah
This day went so fast
I barely even saw you
Clap your hands
And stamp your skinny wrists
Cross me off your list
in the sand
And throw this night
to the fuckin' wind
I don't ever want to hear
These words again
If only we had
I wish we did
You're my latest last chance
My final hurrah
This day went so fast
I barely even saw you writhe
You barely even saw me cry
I barely even saw you
You're my latest last chance
My final hurrah
This day went so fast
My final hurrah
In your black satin pants
My final hurrah
My final hurrah
My final hurrah
My final hurrah

People swear opposities attract
I don't care about that
Is it fiction or fact
We're identically sad
We're got tears rolling up our sleeves
Nobody here's putting us at ease
Is it fiction or fact
We're identically sadv Never a moon on water shone
You do here
We're got tears rolling up our sleeves
We're got tears rolling up our sleeves
Pregnant for minutes
And bored for hours
not soon enough
He'll be ours
Is it fiction or fact
We're identically sad
To be with him for just one night
would you throw away
your whole damn life
Never a moon on waterworks
Just you and me
We're got tears rolling up our sleeves

I've been bought
It's quite a scandal
Just got out alive
I gave 'em all
That they could handle
Then I took a dive
So take a chair
And make it snappy
Tryin' to lose these jerks
Say a prayer and make it simple
It's the only kind that works
On the outskirts
Of the sundown
I feel like Billy the Kid
Don't know where
I'll go or run now
Like I ever did
Is this where I belong
Hurry up, quick
And you can come along
We ain't got time for you
To grab your stuff
What's flowing through our veins
Is good enough
I'm the fugitve kind
You better make up your mind
I can't wait
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate

I've got strange and grandiose ideas
I never know or care
What day it is
We can write down our dreams
and hide 'em under the bed
And walk down the street
with lightbulbs on our head
I'm the fugitve kind
You better make up your mind
I can't wait
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate

I stood alone on that stage
Just like a stone on a grave
You could be my lover
I'd make you laugh
Or just another epitath
I'm a bad idea whose time has come
And I'll never forget
Where I started from
I'm the fugitve kind
You better make up your mind
I can't wait
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from your fate
You can run-run-run-run away with me
But never from you

Talking to myself again
My sentences ramble at great length
And I believe I have just started
To bore the only guy who's listening
And the sunset
And the lampshade
And the TV and the bed
But the sunrise always listens
The sunrise always listens
Somtimes she even finishes
My sentences
And I don't need a skywriter
To make graffiti in your sky
Your world is a ballon to me
I'll poke a hole
And see what's inside
I bored a sunset
And a lampshade
And a TV then a bed
But a sunrise always listens
Yes sometimes she'll even finish
My sentences

Like I want her (back) yeah
And she starts to laugh
And throws back her golden head
Talking to myself again
My sentences ramble my sentiment
I believe I've started
To go out of my head
And there's no one here
To hear just what I've said
But the sunrise always listens
Yeah the sunrise always listens
Yeah the sunrise even finishes
My sentences
Yeah the sunrise always listens

Whatever makes you happy
Is exactly what you will wear
I wouldn't dream of changing you
For a minute or in a year
Whatever makes you happy
Is exactly how you will stay
Whatever makes you happy is okay
Whatever made you hungry
Is the one thing you have found
You're starving for affection
I guess sex just lets you down
Whatever made you turn away
It's a shame it made you late
For whatever makes you happy
I don't care let it rain
You make me nervous
You make me jealous
You make me wonder when you lie
You make me want to vomit
And I promise
I want you 'til the day I die
Whatever makes you famous
Ain't contagious
Please don't run
You're falling down a stairwell
Calling farewell anyone
Whatever makes you lonesome
It's the same that sets you free
Now whatever makes you happy
I'm pretty sure isn't me
Whatever makes you happy baby
I could make you happy baby

Who here in the crew
Was he talking to
He was laughing and smoking
Who here in the crew
Was he talking to
What words were spoken
I shot an actor at the street
It was my debut at directing
We nailed him in the hands and feet
Last seen he was in his trailer resting
Who here in the crew
Was he talking to
What was he saying
Who here in the crew
Was spoken to
Was he smoking and laughing
I shot an actor in the street
Mmm mmmm mmmmm
I shot an actor in the street
Last seen he was in his trailer resting
I need a retake on that scene
Keep looking for him
I need his blessing

Father left
You were crushed
Like the petals of a flower
Between the pages of a novel
A long forgotten bookmark
The end of a sad chapter
When he left her she read no more
And so left all trust
Of any man that wants you
To dress in black plastic
Or sing with your eyes only
As though you were autistic
Whisper diamonds and insolence
Enter misadventure
Neither tawdry or resplendent
In clothes that hide your figure
She was daddy's little sparrow
He was a dirty picture window
Mister Inappropriate
Who washes his hands after
He things someone is watching
Too restless for education
Craves only entertainment
And to this day
There is no one you trust
Father left your mom
They say you were crushed
Like the petals of a flower
Between pages of a novel
A long forgotten bookmark

All right
You read common knowledge, stockpile your brain
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
What they teach you to fix, needs to be broke
I say he who laughs first didn't get the joke

Go on, untap your mind
Quit knocking on mine

An English teacher from Vancouver
She asked me to write something for her students.
I wrote knowledge adds, wisdom let slide
She says now really? I wanna tap your mind

Quit knockin' on mine
Walkin on
knockin' on mine

Knowledge is power, got your books go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance; stupidity I call freedom

Knockin' on mine
Get out

Comic books, the Bible, roadmaps, pornography
Anything you wanna read


Go out and sit in a field sometime

Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)

... power got your books go read 'em
Wisdom is ignorance, stupidity, I call freedom
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)

You read common knowledge every day.
You're as common as that newspaper you throw away
You get burned in the sun, you get wet in the rain
Won't you ever change
Won't you ever learn

Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Yes sir
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Quit knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)

Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knockin' on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Quit knocking on mine (knockin' on mine)
Knock knock knockin' on mine
Knock knock knockin' on mine

Do you remember me long ago
Used to wear my heart on my sleeve
I guess it still shows

We watched the sun fall down and
I hop on my bike; still that night

You're my first glimmer of light
You were my. You was my first
Glimmer of light

And the leaves were burning up in the street
I guess they tore that bridge out
Where we used to meet
And no one can see there

You're my first glimmer of light
You were my. You was my first
glimmer of light

Wore my jacket and I wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge was an indian summer
Purple mascara, safety pins kickin' the dirt
Took off your jacket took off my sweater
And we made a wish things would never be better
Train whistle blew my wish won't come. Oh no.

You were the first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You're my first glimmer of light
You was my first,
You was my first

Wore my jacket and I wore your sweater
Underneath the bridge was an indian summer
Purple mascara, safety pins God did it hurt
Took off my jacket took off your sweater
And we made a wish things would never be better
Train whistle blew my wish came true.

You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light
You was my first glimmer of light

Oh baby now
Yes you were
Oh baby now
Yes you were

Well you look fantastic and you gassed the casket
At least the thing still runs
This 9 to 5 bullshit don't let you forget
Whose suicide you're on.
I'm the one you trust in
and the world owes you nothing
You really, really want it that bad
You gotta come get it
It's your life, go live it
'Round the corner, give it some gas

If you want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember where you started from
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad

You wax poetic about things pathetic
As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot

If you want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember where you started from
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad

And the pressures gonna build yeah
Higher and higher
Something's gotta move here
Ain't knocking on wood
You're foxin' the cove? Oh yeah.

Don't be sad you're a world class fad

Well you look fantastic in your cast-off casket
At least the thing still flies
I believe this road is starting to wind
And where we're going, it's starting to hide

If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Remember leave a trail of crumbs
You want it that bad
Be a world class fad
Remember where you started from

If you want it that bad
A world class fad
If you want it that bad
You're a world class fad
Don't be sad
You're a world class fad
Don't be s

You don't blow like the breeze you were born to be
You die down in the trees and try to hide
Will you witness the dark
All you need is a spark
A cathedral of torches to light the night

On your mark here I am
I'm your spark
Runaway wind
Run run away wind

You trade your telescope for a keyhole
Make way for the gray that's in your brown
As dreams make way for plans
See ya watch life from the stands
Come on I'll help you burn 'em to the ground

On your mark here I am
I'm your spark
Runaway wind

He sees ya like a river
Deep and silent
And he runs to you like
A shallow noisy stream
I see what you've become and try to hide it
You need someone who sees
What you were born to be

Here I am

You don't. blow like the breeze
You were born to be
You don't know what to do with your life
As day returns to dark
Flame returns to spark
Come on I feel I'm blowing out tonight

I'm your spark here I am
I'm your spark here I am
I'm your spark here I am
On your mark run away wind
Watch you run
Watch you run
Watch you run

Dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades
Everybody's trying to make you feel stupid
And you know they're lyin'
'Cause their lips are moving
Bet this one is twice your age

Come on
Roll the dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades

Safer way to be strange
Roll the dice behind your shades

The avant garde unlock the door
You're takin' notes and nothing more
A guy snaps your picture on roller blades

Come on roll the dice behind your shades
Roll the dice behind your shades

Safest way to be strange
Roll the dice behind your shades

Take it to a higher place
Where this world ain't in your face
You and me, Carson McCullers
Take it to a higher plane
Take me where the action ain't
Open windows
Open shutters

Bet this one is twice your age
Ohhhh...
The avante gardes unlock your cage
And you're sick to death of the latest rage
Afraid of love it always fades.

Come on
Roll the dice behind your shades

Beautiful flowers in your garden
But the most beautiful by far
The one growing wild in the garbage dump

Even here
Even here we are

Song of the bird lives in the sky
But the most beautiful by far
Scream of the man who never learned to fly

Even here
Even here we are

Sun shines bright, it's a beautiful sight
But the most beautiful by far
Is the blind girl alone with the angel of the night

Even here
Even here we are

Road maps and bra staps
8 tracks and mud flaps

Cause I'm a free old man

Pull her right here
Put her nice caddie
All that I want
Is silver naked lady

Play me what I want to hear
Don't make me have to come down there
Forgot how to think and I don't wanna dance
I wanna hear few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence
Few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence

It's me, I'm back for my request
Cut me some slack and give it a rest
Sex and money and violence
I wanna hear few minutes, few minutes, few minutes, of silence
Few minutes, few minutes, few minutes of silence

Silence
Silence

You know the reason I'm listening for
One more note and I'm out that door
Is it too much to ask for my request

Silence

Few minutes few minutes few minutes of silence
Few just a few few minutes come on come on just give me some silence
Few just a few few minutes all I ever wanna hear is silence
Few just a few few minutes few minutes of

I was smoking a roundie
Thank God you found me
All by myself
And then you bounced through the door like nobody else

Hey you someone I once knew, sit your butt down
Hey you someone I once knew, sit your butt down

Watchin' my Japanese TV
With my six string buddy
I was barely tickin'
And then you bounced through the door come alive and kickin'

Hey you someone I once knew, sit your butt down
Hey you someone I once knew, sit your butt down

You got brains, all the way down
You never changed
I just never got past
The ones you sit on

Hey you someone I once knew, sit your butt down
You got brains all the way down
You've never changed
I just never got past
Your little rock

Two.
Beads of sweat glimmer to the ground
Golden tears shimmer soft and round

Throwing small shadows
I catch those that fall at my feet
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze

See your slight body relax
Soon your young veins will collapse
Still throwing small shadows
Catch those that fall at my feet
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze

Painted your curb, they know where to park
Painted your face, can't find you in the dark
Goodnight girl come on dance with me
See the bright pearls sink in the sky of ebony

Throwing small shadows
I catch those that fall at my feet
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze

Throwing small shadows
God knows you move with ease
Throwing small shadows
Catch those that fall at my feet
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze
Black-Eyed Susan dancing just for me
Black-Eyed Susan dancing in the breeze

Mmm just for me
Mmm just for me

Things I wanna tell you
How you make me feel
How you look to me
And how good it feels
Things I don't wanna tell you
Every little thing's all right
What I was before
And where I was last night

Always things
All these things
Always things

Things I try to tell you but come out oh so wrong
Seem to feel pretty good, seem to last pretty long
Things I don't wanna tell you
Now there ain't no doubt
You lit a fire in me
Can't seem to put out

Always things
All these things

Things I long to tell you but I don't know how
Things I don't wanna tell you but I have to now
Packed my things

Things I'm bound to tell you like that dress looks great on ya
I could use some breathing room but I'm still in love with you
Things I'd never tell you, down the line someday
You'll be a song I sing, a thing I give away
Pack my things today, I packed my things today

You've gotta get something off of your chest
Well Something is me and let me guess
Something always changes eventually

Well something is me (something is me)
Now something is me (something is me)

Through the top of the porch, through the top of the wall
Something went wrong, my name is Paul
Something always happens eventually

Well something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something
Eventually Something is me (something is me)
Woe is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something

Whose suicide are you on?
Take a left turn, you hop on my lawn
Something's got to grow eventually

I know something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something something something something
Something something something something

Gotta take something to make you feel good
Something ain't me but I wish it could
Finally find something to believe

Something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)
Something is me (something is me)

You look fine a little strange. been working out? losing weight?

I'd love to turn you way way down
I've got to turn you way way down
If I could only find your volume
If I could only find your volume knob

You're always up to no damn good
Up to my neck in Hollywood
I'd love to turn you way way on
Only find your volume knob

I spend my time in cottonwood looking for a sign
Sitting by myself and I'm running out of time
Listen to the wind talking just to me
Listen now can't you see

[

Yeah...
Well I bit off more than I could chew
I sucked awhile and spit it out
You met me once now who are you
You met me twice who am I to doubt
Built to please and raised to rock
Construction starts here on this block
Millenium has come at last
My one horse town is made of glass

They were gonna meet
On a Rocky Mountain street
Two bashful hearts beat in advance
Their hands were gonna sweat
It was all set
She ain't showed up yet
Still a good chance

You've got call waiting
It's irritating me to no end
I take a shot
Your hall of fame is
Littered with famous
Women and men
You've got 'em all on your wall
Except the last of a dying breed

I had it with the friend who uses me
To open doors like I was a skeleton key
I had it with everyone, had it with anyone I ever knew
You've had it with you
You need someone to fall in love, need someone to fall in love
Any anyone will do
You've had it with you

Like Catherine the Great underneath a big horse
Your sexual preference is me of course
I get away with murder and I promise not to hurt her
If I have to shoot
If I have to shoot

Had it with you
Had it with your shoes..

Had it with you baby and your star-cheap car
I'm fading faster than a UK pop star
I've had it with everyone, everyone I ever knew well I do
I've had it with everyone, everyone I ever knew well I do
You had it with your neighbors, had it with your clothes
You had it with your records...
You had it with your friend, had it with your shoes,
You had it, goddammit! You've had it with you!

And you've had it with me too...

Is that you peeking out from that hat
Hide and seeking behind a drink that's gone flat
Is that you peeking out from your tree
Hide and seeking from everyone here but me

Your hands are shaking and I know what they did
Hide and seeking they never found you as a kid
Your branch is breaking
You'll find another downtown
Hide and seeking
Coming crashing to the ground

Hide and seeking for children baby
Now it's hid and sought


Another week and you'll see yours maybe
They treat you like some kinda outlaw

Black night is falling this is the blues you see
Hide and seeking father son and holy me
You speak in parables
You're looking terrible tonight
Hide and seeking
I wonder if you need a light
I wonder if you need a light
I wonder if you need a light

Hide and seeking pa
Hide and seeking ma

I stay in every night of the week
They try but I won't speak
To be my friends
You'll see me once I'm on the mend

Good substitute for inspiration
Prostitutes and perspiration
Look don't touch
I think you ought to show me
Exactly what don't you want to be
Here that much

Fast jump
Everybody shouting
Come together
Fast jump
Everybody punch up the air
Fast jump
Everybody bummer
Here comes a sucker
Fast jump
When you gonna blow
Up a square

New wave kiss in Susie's eyes
Pass me one of them lover's smiles
Look don't (hump?)
I pin the tail on Demi Moore
Ring around the donkey core
You got skunked

Fast jump
Everybody clamor
Come together
Fast jump
Everybody going
Don't you howl
Fast jump
You and you and your momma
Comes a sucker

I swear to god I hear something about the Unabomber

Big hands on a clock
Little hands covered in chalk
Red lines blue lines
Sometimes sometimes
Angels walk

Giant steps take two
Tiny eyes in a shoe
Make bows of halos



And take those wings off
Angels walk

Fly beside me
Hold my breath
Deep inside me
I'll meet you round the block
Sometimes next time angels walk
Angels walk

Good day doesn't have to be a Friday
Doesn't need to be your birthday
The next one then you won't survive
Sing along hold my life
A good day is any day that you're alive
Yes a good day is any day that you're alive

Asked me mmmm, you had to ask me
In the dreams you tell me
Tell them only you were tired
Sing along hold my life
A good day is any day that you're alive
Yeah, a good day is any day that you're alive

A bad day comes every once in awhile your body says
Fourteen hundred shooting stars and (every time?)
A bad day comes every once in your body life
Goodbye

Hold my life one last time
A good day is any day that you're alive
Yes a good day is any day that you're alive
Yes a good day is any day that you're alive
These are the days

Time flies tomorrow
But it ain't made a move yet
Time flies tomorrow
And tomorrow will make a day since we've met

Your heart sings a feeling
It don't ache but baby its gonna
Swing from the ceiling
Break like a pinata
Break like a whitecap
In the sand you shiver
With eyes like two hubcaps
At the bottom of the river

Time flies tomorrow
But it ain't made a move yet
Time flies tomorrow
And tomorrow will make a day since we've met

Your hands are like an ovation
An uncertain work of art
I sometimes grow impatient
Gonna tear me apart
Ain't no time for crying
As you stand and deliver
All my thoughts of dying
Are silenced by your river

Time flies tomorrow
And time flies since we met
Time flies tomorrow (and tomorrow isn't here)
Yeah, time flies since we met

Baby learns to crawl
Watching daddy's skin
Learns to fall
Get up again
Baby learns to cry
Watching mama's smile
In the mirror
Can you hear her

Baby learns to swear
With your hair
Learns to love
Watching TV
Baby learns to cope with
What she sees
In the mirror
Don't go near her

Baby learns to hide
Down on your knees
Learns to pray when
Somebody sneezes
Baby don't you say you love me
In the mirror

One last crushing blow
The final crashing bore
And it's always time to go
As you're inching to the door
(Let's go)

Baby learns to live
Watching daddy's life
Baby learns to give
Everything away
Baby learns to cry
It's all right
In the mirror
Baby learn to crawl
Watching daddy's skin
Baby learns to crawl
Watching daddy's skin

As long as my veins are
Flowing with blood
Sure as the rain turns
The dirt into mud
Dirt into mud

As long as there's blood
In my veins I will search
Sure as the sun turns
The mud into dirt
I'm gonna hurt

And they say a man in pain
Be well prepared to die
They say a man who hurts
Won't even try

How long does it take
For pain to change from hurt
As long as the sun turns
the mud back to dirt

How long will it take?
For the dirt to change with rain
How long will this hurt
Choose to stay
As long as my veins are
Flowing with blood
Sure as the rain turns
The mud back to dirt

Call me when your arms are empty
That's the only way it can be
Call me when you're full of pretty lies
Call me when your eyes are empty
And open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through
Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you

Call me when you think you're leavin'
Hope you know you're not deceiving
Me again just like you think you should
Call me when your arms are empty
And open all night

You lied enough
Open wide enough
To drive a truck straight through
Only lie worth telling
Is I'm in love with you
Only lie worth telling
Is i'm in love with you

if you need someone
to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
i'm the one who can attempt to be your friend
if you need someone
to tell everything you've done
then lie to me
i'm the one who can still pretend

call me when your eyes are empty
and open all night

you lied enough
open wide enough
to drive a truck straight like a knife
only lie worth telling
is i'm in love with you
i'm the only lie worth telling
i'm in love with you
only lie worth telling
i'm the only lie worth telling

He's got your number
Knows where you'll be found
But he don't know everything
Still, he's got you down

Like Christopher Columbus
In a world that's flat
He don't know everything
Try telling you that

Or Harry Houdini
He's escaped your grasp
That one is hard to hold
Try telling you that

And he's got your number
Knows where you'll be found
But he don't know everything
Still, he's got you down

He's got you down, baby
He knows you like the back of his hand

Like Rudolph Valentino
The great lover of your life
Been awhile since you seen him, though
I'm sure he's not with his wife

And he's got your number
Knows where you'll be found
But he don't know nothing
Still, he's got you down
And he's got your number
And he's got you down
He don't know nothing girl
He's got you down

Nobody claims to
See it coming
Nobody blames you
Can't help thinking
A marriage license
A job was waiting
By your mid-30's
You feel unholy

No place for you
To be a girl
No place for you
They closed your world
No place for you
To live and grow
No place for you
That I know

Approaching mirrors
Waiting tables
Fix your lipstick
Don't disappoint those
Who have nothing to do this evening
No day is safe from thoughts of you leaving

No place for you
To be a girl
No place for you
They closed your world
No place for you
To live and grow
No place for you of
That I know

Just add water
Someone's done for
I'm getting nervous, there goes one more
Just add water
Someone's done for
I'm getting nervous, there goes one more

No day is safe from thoughts of you leaving
Marriage license
Can't help thinking
It's all for nothing
You're so unholy
Up in the stars now
She's getting lonely

No place for you
To be a girl
No place for you
They closed your world
No place for you
To be a girl
No place for you
They closed your world
To live and grow
No place for you of
That I know

Our coffee laughs at us every morning
We always laugh at the choices we've made
And ask ourselves
How did it get so early
We're boring enormous
Will they inform us
That up close we still look afraid
Boring enormous, it isn't for us to say

No longer in a hurry to get anywhere
Still don't care for your destination
No longer lead, you just let things happen
Boring enormous
Will you inform us?
Just when and where you might run
Boring enormous, it ain't for every one

Here with my headache and cigars
My love for you is finally scarred
Moving vans and swollen hands
Leave their mark
I pledge allegiance to the sky
Above the only place I lie anymore

Faucet's been dripping for a year and half
Both of us tripping outside to play
One thing I love I can no longer stand
Boring enormous
Please just ignore us
Cause up close we're still far away
Boring enormous
Please just ignore us
Cause up close we look far away
Boring enormous
It isn't for us to say

There's a world in between
Being everything
To everyone
And being nothing
To no one

There's a world in between
Giving life to a dream
Giving hope
Giving love
Giving some
And giving nothing
To no one

A world of extreme reflection
Hear his scream for affection

There's a world in between
Being everything to everyone
And being nothing
To no one
I am a button to sew on

I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know

Was the garage your playground?
Your pool a hose
Did you piss in the alley?
& Get your toes caught
In the spokes of a bike with a banana seat
Did you carry a knife that was rusted shut tight?
You got drunk after church at 13

We may well be the ones
To set this world on its ear
We may well be the ones
If not, then why are we here

I wanna know, I wanna know
The sweet smell of candles burnt low by young women
Alone on their own for the very first time
Under posters of rock stars that you vaguely resemble
In front of a cat a responding "Perhaps"
Means that you'll be the next one in line

We may well be the ones
To set this world on its ear
We may well be the ones
If not then why are we here
Why the hell then are we here

I wanna know, I wanna know
You may well be the next one
Someone sell me a handgun
Goodbye Ma, I'm done for
It's the law tell me what for

I wanna know, I wanna know
Smoke cigarette butts
From your brother's green helmet
He wore in that war once
Where everyone lost
And they taught him to pour coffee and napalm
And traded his storm for an intense calm
That just won't let him be

We may well be the ones
To set this world on its ear
We may well get it done
Why the hell else are we here?
We may well be the ones
To set this world on its ear
We may well be the ones
If not then why are we here
If not then why are we here
We may well be the ones

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your coat is mighty gray
Yes, bless God, it's made that way

Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your ears are mighty long
Yes, by God, they're put on wrong

Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your ears are mighty thin
Yes, bless God, they're splitting the wind

Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine

Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit
Your eyes are mighty red
Yes, bless God, I'm almost dead

Every little soul must shine
Every little soul must shine

The good times hide
And so do I
Out of my control
I dig a hole

I'm gonna let the bad times roll
I'm gonna let the bad times roll

If that's all the time
That you got
Then I'd rather not
Waste my life on hold

I'm gonna let the bad times roll
I'm gonna let the bad times roll

Just add water
I'm disappointed
Just like my father
I miss the point
I need someone
Not infection
Just add water
I'm disappointed

The good times hide
So will I
Watch the world roll by
From my hole

I'm gonna let the bad times roll
I'm gonna let the bad times roll

In my dreams, I'm seein her
In his genes/jeans, I'm seein her
Yeah, it's true, makin' love to you
I'm seein her

Everything about her, I like everything about her, I like everything about
her
Seein her

In headlight beams, I'm seein her
In my dreams, I'm seein her
Shadows she throws--and no one knows
I'm seein her

He doesn't want you to share
He wants to play Romeo and Juliet? I'll play Peter Pan [Perrett?]!

Owed you the truth, and so I swear it
Yeah I want you too and I just can't bear it
Better soon, I'm seein her
In the afternoon, I'm seein her

It's funny, it's true--I'll be seeing you
I'm seein her
I can't believe it's her
Seein her

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
It's Friday night frozen pizza thing
Don't want no wife or no beginner
Friday night frozen, pizza king

Everything you buy is soon expired
Some neighbors they're a-thinking that you're gay
Others they assume that you've been fired
See you smoking cigarettes all day

Well, men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen, pizza thing
Well I don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen, pizza king

On Saturday they won't catch you in your yard
You're dreaming of tonight's fine cuisine
With a microwave and a library card
It'll taste like plastic, but it'll be faster
Ha, sing it

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Well I don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king

Men without ties, it's about time

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Well I don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Men without ties don't need a thing
Don't want no wife, show to cut by

Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties
Men without ties, men without ties

He gets up in the darkness
And he calls out, "Where am I?"
He looks down from the heavens
And he's tired of the sky

Five hundred lonely years ago
He shone blue and bright
And it's killing him to know
That you're seeing it tonight

In his room no one blesses
He undresses his award
To the moon he confesses,
"I'm going down there for sure"

A star is bored

He's dreaming in the valley
And he's shaking in the stream
He's shining in the alley
And they're kissing his golden feet

They ask him, "Are you famous?"
"You've answered that, you know"
They tell him he looks nervous
He says, "You look too close"

And the place where he's staying
Shoves his dinner in the hall
The number that he's dialing
He'll really wanna call
He gets down and starts praying
Like they taught him, to the wall, "Oh, Lord"

A star is bored.

I stay in every night of the week
They try but I won't speak
To be my friends
You'll see me once I'm on the mend

King and queen
Full and twin
Leave the key
It’s time to move again
Brand new lease
New set of locks
This end up
Ten city blocks
I gave it up for a room in a box
And I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I’m doing fine
I’m doing fine
Life is simple or it’s impossible
You always half empty
You ain’t never half full (even though? even now?)
Me and yesterday hopped on a track
I swear to God neither of us ever coming back
And I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I’m doing fine
I’m doing fine
And I gave all that I can
Every time
Didn’t follow my dreams
I lost the map
I live my fantasy instead
Till I found it was a trap
Gave a life, got a living
Hey that’s all right
All is forgiven
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me
I gave all that I had
It’s taken some bad times to show me

I said a-hey hey hey now baby(hey hey hey now baby)
Do you know it?

It was a dog not a lady I reckon
I don't stand for any more of it
I'll bite his hand next time he beckons
"C'mon c'mon c'mon little bitch"
"C'mon c'mon c'mon little bitch"

A woman's place ain't in the house
But that joker ain't learned it yet
Slap the taste right out of his mouth
"C'mon c'mon, c'mon little bitch"
"C'mon c'mon, c'mon little bitch"

That guy's an old-fashioned ho
He's out running wild
But that shit don't fly no more


"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon little child
"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon little child
"C'mon c'mon c'mon
Let's give a little pride

I said a-hey hey hey now baby (a-hey hey hey now baby)
I said a-hey hey hey (hey hey hey)
His steel empire has not fallen
He's conquered you, now ain't that rich
I'm out and shouting next time he starts calling
"C'mon,c'mon,c'mon little bitch"
"C'mon c'mon c'mon little bitch"

C'mon c'mon c'mon little bitch (I'll treat you good)
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon (and with respect)
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon (now that's the least)
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon (you can expect)
C'mon c'mon c'mon

a lot of na na na's

You're shooting glances and they're so hard to read
I misconstrue what you mean
Slip me a napkin, and now that's a start
Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart.
I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart.

Thanks for the book, now my table is steady
It's a library or a bar
Between the covers I judge you as ready
Half-angel, half-tart

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart.
I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart.

Do I read you correctly? You need me directly
Help me with this part
Do I date you do I hate you do I got a dyslexic heart?

You keep swayin' What are you sayin'?
Think about stayin' Are you just playin', making passes
Well my heart could use some glasses....

(some na na na's)

Are you stayin'? What are you savin'?
Or are you swayin'? Just playing, making passes
Well my heart could use some glasses...

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart
Do I read you correctly? I need you directly.
Help me with this part.
Do I love you do I hate you, I got a dyslexic heart

The song
s away with lots of na na na's

It ain't no big deal that,
I feel you are layin' him
I see you lain against the floor
It ain't nobody's business
Who you see or who you kiss
I feel you breathing in the hall

It's okay,
Stained and not for fun
I won't stain your blood
I won't stain love (
)

Got an eye for an exit
And an ear that just begs to
I hear does anybody here think you're great
Forever they ignore us
Not the guys that only bores us
Together we're gonna love everything that they hate

I don't care
If she's right
Cross my heart
Hope to die
Is it love?

They're gonna talk about us
They're gonna stare when we walk by
They're gonna talk about us
For the first time in our lives

Is it love? Is it love?
