Here's Luck
These lyrics are way off! Well, not WAY off, but not correct. It's pretty funny what we came up with just by listening...but we are too lazy to type up the real lyrics...so GO BUY THE DAMN RECORD! |
Don?t you know you?re everything to me
I can?t forget what I want
When I think about kissing her
I can?t forget what I want
When the canons go off I still hear the fireworks
I can?t forget what I want
Everything I want, everthing I need
Makes me feel like a kid again
But I don?t want a [night] like you
Not like you
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It?s not really what I want
I want you
I want you (I want you)
I know it won?t happen, I feel blue
Oh, yes I do
Miss her more than I want tonight
But she?s an ache in my mind
That just won?t go away
Maybe someday
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It?s not really what I want
I want you
I want you (I want you)
I can?t tell her so what?s the use?
When I think about kissing her
I know it won?t happen, I feel blue
Oh, yes I do
But when I think about missing her
I get lonely, I?m confused
I?m a wreck, I?m a ruin
No, no, no, no ,no, no
It?s not really what I want
I want you
I want you
I can?t forget what I want
Oooh, I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
Here we are
There?s the glass
Those things are hers:
There?s the ring that once h eld us together
Those things are hers:
There?s the lamp that she turned off everynight
Those things are hers:
We?re finally alone now
It?s just you and me
And the memories of her
Please don?t go
Though I know that you?re angry
Maybe we can kill these ghosts with another glass of wine
That she pressed to her lips nightly
If you look you can see a lipstick trace
There?s the dress
That she wore so tightly
If you look in the mirror
You can see her standing there
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve:
It?s mean dragging up the past like she wasn?t gone
And it?s a curse-to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
She wants it back
So I?m sending it next week
There?s the coat of brown and dirty leather
She doesn?t really need it
?Cause it?s warm there out east
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve:
It?s mean dragging up the past like she wasn?t gone
And it?s a curse-to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
When she came to bed
And she held me in her arms
There?s the door that she walked through daily
And the place that I last saw her
When she walked out on me
The ring and the glass and the bed that you lie on
And I got nerve:
It?s mean dragging up the past like she wasn?t gone
And it?s a curse-to live in the shadow of a memory
That just keeps hanging on
You don?t need much in a man
You don?t need a credo
I hear you?re like them tough as nails
You told me more than once
It hardly takes a genius
You?re telling me, you?re here with me temporary
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You told me more than once
It hardly takes a genius
Just a job and a set of teeth
I got that but not much more
Set a part from the average creep
You set your sights low on me now so
I won?t disappoint
We never use the word ?love?
For this thing that we?ve got going
Just a healthy size lapedo
That?s me
Yeah, that?s me
While I break like a twig
I?m good at feeling sorry for myself
I?m lazy as a pig
That you?ve been burn by worse than me
A dozen lovers have all lined up to solve your mystery
Just a human with a penius
That?s me
Yeah, that?s me
Yeah, that?s me
That?s me
You?re telling me I?m history
When he comes along
I hear you?re like them tough as nails
While I break like a twig
I?m good at feeling sorry for myself
I?m lazy as a pig
That you?ve been burn by worse than me
A dozen lovers have all lined up to solve your mystery
Just a human with a penius
That?s me
Yeah, that?s me
Yeah, that?s me
Yeah, that?s me
Yeah, that?s me
Well, I?m across town and I can?t be late
Well, I go to the bar and I don?t care
?I?d go out, if it wasn?t for him?
She says darling, call me
up a night
Well, ?I?d go out, if it wasn?t for him?
Well, I saw her with a ring on her hand
?I?d go out, if it wasn?t for him?
I know Becky?s off work at quarter to 8
When I get there, I know I?m in love
But this thing on her hand stands between us
If we can?t get together, man
I?m happy to stare when I?m in there
Everyday, I try to pick her up but I know what she?d say
Well, I?d go out of town with you
if it wasn?t for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on
Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand
Try to keep your attention
Pick a fight
If I show up at your back door
Means I?m lonely and I?m hungry
Waiting for you
Well, I?d go out of town with you
if it wasn?t for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on
Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand
Why she loves him I don?t understand
Becky, I know it ain?t your fault
He?s a good man
Well better then some men, at all
Well, I?d go out of town with you
If it wasn?t for him
All I ever wanted was to be with her
But the only thing between us was on
Becky?s Hand(x3)
On Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand(x2)
Yes, on Becky?s Hand
Yeah, Becky?s Hand
Becky?s Hand(x3)
There?s time before the sun wakes up and grabs me
There?s a flame on a candle keeps burning
I can?t face it, I?ve wasted
Fall in love everynight with someone
Another lonely heart club band
And drags me through another day
You think someone up there can?t stand me
I guess I?m just vain
Where does it come from
You?ve got love
But not as much as you need
But you?ve lost again
Wind blowing can?t put it out
No fire in my house concerns me
But a spark I can?t live without
I hear the wedding band
Rub your name--Rub you name out on the sand
And you?ve lost again
Time away from you
I feel caged in
I?m changing ?cause of time away from you
And you, and you
Like the dancer who said I was nice
but wasn?t never gonna call
I?d like to go home everynight with someone
But the pictures on the mantle, won?t let me sleep at all
well sometimes the ring is too small for my hand
yeah, and you
Lost again
yeah, and you
Lost again
Days are cold and gray
Just because I?ve been away so long
I miss your laughing lips
In a week or two I?m coming home to you
I miss your laughing lips
Just because I?ve been away so long
I miss your laughing lips
It?s hard to be away
But I guess that?s what I meant when I said ?I do?
And you said it too
I can?t get used to this
No matter how hard I try
But if it goes on too much longer I?ll probably die
And just because I?m not that strong
Just because a pretty woman turns me on
Doesn?t mean I?m gonna be a fool
And give up what I got with you
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me
?Cause I miss you
And when I get back there?s a lot of things we?re gonna do
I always think about the things you said
I always think about you in bed
Sometimes I try to think of something instead
But we made love for hours in my head
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me
?Cause I miss you
I?ve been away so long
Right or wrong
Sometimes I can?t even sing a song
I?m comin? there
I?m just about gone
I?m gonna love you all night long
In a week or two I?m comin? home to you
And when I get back there?s a lot of things we?re gonna do
And just because I?m not that strong
Just because a pretty woman turns me on
Doesn?t mean I?m gonna be a fool
And give up what I got with you
I miss your eyes and hips
Do you miss me
?Cause I miss you
Night time rolled around
I can?t get away
She made me take off my watch off
I can?t get away
I?d feel her body
I can?t get away
Got in my car, crossed town
She be waiting there for me
From the memories of that place
I?ll get back there someday
In her arms, I?d melt away
Like a fortress, we held the world at today
When we laid down
Her long hair got caught in it
Maker the hours pass like minutes, she?d say
We?d spend the night, lovers learn
Candles flicker, insense burns
In the morning I?d be gone
From the memories of that place
I?ll get back there someday
In her arms, I?d melt away
While the night slip into the day
In a room, locked away
Like a fortress, held the world at today
And I?d touch her mouth
Kiss her lips
The worms are coming out
I plead and I plead
Broke her heart with the slip of my tongue
Take it all back but the deed is done
Well now I?m a mess
She?s with another man, I guess
Time heals all wounds but I can?t forget . . .
From the memories of that place
I?ll get back there someday
In her arms, I?d melt away
While the night slipped into the day
In a room, locked away
Like a fortress, held the world at today
Like a fortress, held the world at today
Do you remember me outside your door?
CHORUS
Well the place is bigger now, I'll get used to it
CHORUS 2x
I begged and pleaded for you to stay.
You wanted a man better than yourself -
that's not a man, that's something else (something
else)
You cut your loses but you may have jumped the gun,
you'll be back I know, you've had your fun now
Well, it's time you took a fall
I'm tired of waiting on your call
There was a time when i'd give ya anything at all
But you wasted my time...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't mind
You figure how but there's no use in it
There's more room in the bed at night
I'm all alone but that's alright (that's alright)
Everything, I Bet You
Your blue door, that I walked through before
Three shades of red when I heard what you said
Your blue door it won?t let them in anymore
Your blue door that I walk through once more
First Sunday kiss - I could not resist
Well have you come to tell the truth
Are you tired of roaming too
Would you go around with me
Would you take me out at two or three
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery
Surprise me and read between my lines
White knuckle road I?m going down
Would you go around with me
Would you take me out at two or three
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery
Surprise me and read between my lines
And wind blowing through your screen
The candle?s burning clean
I?m not green
Would you go around with me
Would you take me out at two or three
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery
Surprise me and read between my lines
Your red ripe fruit - all hell breaks loose
Would you go around with me
Would you take me out at two or three
Would you lie to me with the cheapest form of flattery
Surprise me and read between my lines
Dear, I sit in a room, [in my bed]
And I know, I fell
In the rain, river swell, flooding down my wishing well
And I know, I fell
And I know you?re miles away I still can?t let you go
And I think of all the things that went wrong
As the truth, unfolds before us, like a flower
And that blank stare still tattooed on your face
Now, you?ve gone away
Where you went, you won?t say
And I made a bed that will not let me sleep
But that hair shirt I wear well
And I know you?re miles away I still can?t let you go
[When you?re miles away maybe once a day
Do you still think of me
When your miles away do you finally say that you?re free]x2
And I made a bed that will not let me sleep
Aut that hair shirt I wear well
And I know you?re miles away I still can?t let you go
There?s a smell you can?t find nowhere else
Yeah, I hear she?s engaged
Angels above, drive the devil down below
It?s sick and sweet
If there?s a hell that?s sent that there will dwell
Getting sugar from a sugar beet
Well, all the way through clay county, 29, to grand forks that ranked perfume
Yeah, she?s up in Kandiyohi
The long distance makes here memory grow weak
You don?t believe what you said
The truth will make you swear a blue streak
I didn?t mean to ruin you week
But you won?t like what you find there
Kandiyohi
Yeah, all your letter they?re unopened
And all your calls are going unreturned
Yeah, you think you?d get the picture
Oh, man you?ll never learn
Well, i tried to warn you
You drive there to find out just the same
Yes, you will
You won?t like what you find there
Kandiyohi---Kandiyohi
Yeah, you pray that you have her
now she?s starting to show
Well, I hear she?s getting married and moving up to Fargo
But, you won?t like what you find there
Kandiyohi---Kandiyohi, HEY
Got some wine, I got a dozen roses
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won?t let them
Don?t want to hear about your old flames
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won?t let them
The drunken ass at the bar hollars
They want to take an apple from your tree but you won?t let them
Gotta get there before the Rock closes
Before the shit [dumped out] in the street
I watch you work that?s always a treat
Serving up she?s got her eye on me
She?s never happy but they call her Glee
What you want say it always clear
She?ll fill your cup while she [wipe] tear
All the darlins? of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There?s no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
I hope they go to an early grave
I?m jealous now can?t you tell
Am I the only one ringin? your bell
All the darlins? of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There?s no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
The world?s small and it?s geting smaller
Get yourself out of whack
When your friend talk behind your back
All the darlins? of the underground
They come to see you come to stare you down
There?s no glory washing ash trays
When all your friends have gone to bed
One more chins up to hard luck stories Glee----
Come on Glee
Come on Glee
Yeah, come on Glee---
Staying here is killing me
Give me the strength to walk
Try to talk it out, now I?m walking out
A pretty face and pillow talk
Try to talk it out, now I?m walking out
I?m going down your crooked road
Give me the strength to walk
I know it wasn?t meant to be
I wish I had the strength to leave
I wanna get out of here, so I can breath
I wanna be over you
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of lonliness
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
We?re stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
I wanna be over you
Has got me weak and I?m all worn up
Love is hard, desire is strong
A vague sense of something?s wrong with us
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
We?re stuck in a rut, I know in my gut
I wanna be over you
I?ve paid the tolls
Why quit now you say?
We?re on a roll
Out the door and feel the shock of the cold air, of lonliness,
I want to try and stand the test of the blues
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
I wanna be over you
Over you
You, swore you never found anything about me you could adore
Like a moth, flying into the light
Hands, unsteady
Like a moth, flying into the light
Now it has come to pass
And I can?t you off of my ass
You, took me for a ride
Off the road you strayed
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth flying into the light
But wait til the light turns black
I brought your face to mine
I---I wasn?t ready
I needed more time
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth flying into the light
But wait til the light turns black
Arms length of trill
I leave you now bitter still
I show my claws but I can?t fall
Like a moth, flying into the light
You kept coming back
You kept coming back
Like a moth, flying into the light
But wait til the light turns black
Your house is gone
Well that blue coat
A cross was burned in 23
Well on your bed in 93
And so are you
Your husband died in 92
Your family?s spread out
You were the glue
Your things divided
Center is falling through
You taught me well
I said goodbye
Miriam
And gray wool pants
Those things you bought
I never gave a chance
Hmm, that I?d outfit
Swore, would open up every single door
You taught me well
I said good bye
Miriam
A black barber?s yard
Down your street
But you should be afraid, your father said
That cross was burned for you and me
Stays in my head
You taught me well
I said goodbye
Mariam
I held your hand
You looked at me
You couldn?t speak
All that morhpine
Your last days
Spent in dreams
You said a lie
I said goodbye
Baby got home the other day
Since my baby come home
Well I gotta cook, I gotta clean
Since my baby come home
No, I don?t want to be a bachlor
Since my baby come home
And round here, things ain?t the same
Gotta wake up early , gotta find a job
Watch the baby, mow the lawn
Don?t go out drinking
Don?t stay out late, don?t get around
She says turn the phone off
Don?t you make no plans
Since my baby come home
I?m a busy man
Get reaquinted with the washing machine
I don?t see my friends much
I don?t play guitar
She says stop thinking that you are a star
Don?t go out drinking
Don?t stay out late, don?t get around
She says turn the phone off
Don?t you make no plans
Since my baby come home
I?m a busy man
No, I don?t want to be alone
No, I don?t want to complain much
Since my baby come home
I?m a busy man
Don?t go out drinking
Don?t stay out late, don?t get around
She says take your clothes off
Don?t you make no plans
Since my baby come home I?m a busy man
And I don?t mind now that I?m a busy man
How high can you go before gravity pulls you
Tell me
How far will you go just to show that you love me
Tell me
How long can you wait before your life is over
Tell me
And I far can you run before they catch you and dress you
You won?t get away unless you beg
How much can you steal before they come to arrest you
And how far will you go before they try to molest you
If you already let ?em caress you
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
And how much can you take before you?re battered and bloody
Will you take it off in some [old funny]
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
How much can you see with your pornographic memory
Can you see my face
Or can you come without a trace
And how much can you drink before you want to be sober
Will you ever find your four leaf clover
How cruel can you be before I try to forget you
How much can you lose everything, I bet you
You?re crooked and they won?t correct you
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
I said tell me, how can I take you down
Tell me
How can I take you down
Tell me
You look good in your four leaf crown
Tell me
Tell me
Get, undress and fall into our bed
One more bad day so goodnight
One more bad day so goodnight
One more bad day so goodnight
This can of worms is left for dead
I can?t wait through all this shit
Come close, dear
And let me hold you near
It doesn?t matter who?s right or wrong
It?s always coldest before dawn
Turn off the light
Don?t cry now
Don?t speak, don?t make a sound
It?s a long time losing streak
But we?ll get through this one more week
Turn off the light
[Falls] between us are standing tall
Snowball in hell
Drunk down in a well
Chances are I will wake up with you
Turn off the light
One more bad day so goodnight
Turn off the light
Seen A Ghost
You look good with your lights and mirrors
You got your cake and you got your brass ring
In the deep, deep blue you?ll be swimming along
Bits of wood and an old cloth shroud
But I could tell if I could get a bit nearer to you
Now you?re lying on a hard wood floor
You know you?re alive but you can?t be sure, it?s true
Rumor has it it?s true
Now you?re friends of the next big thing, it?s true
Rumor has it it?s true
With your concrete shoes and a straitjacket on
We don? know that you?re gone
Rumor has it it?s true
The man in the temple?s kicking out the crowd, it?s true
In the deep, deep blue you?ll be swimming along
With your concrete shoes and a straitjacket on
We don?t know that you?re gone
Rumor has it?s true
Can you see a king
Caught in a steel trap
A zealous one born too soon
Can you pray
Suspend all disbelief
Walking through the bad part of town,
can you turn the other cheek
Can you forget that you were chattel
Bones in our closet always rattle
Memory serves it?s never gonna pass
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Could he see his city on a hill ruins
Caught in a steel trap
Memory serves it?s never gonna pass
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Can you take that walk
From Harper?s Ferry to Little Rock
Caught in a steel trap
Memory serves it?s never gonna pass
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Old John Brown
Can we keep from goin? down
Lying on cotton sheets, you wish they were silk
You finally got your sea legs on a sinking ship
It?s what it is and what it?s not
If you can?t get cream, settle for milk
Everything you touch seems to shatter
Egg shells and newsprint torn and tattered
There?s a little boy with an arrow you?re so scared of
You shot the cherub
Put your while elephant to sleep, eat your blue chip
There?s a little boy with an arrow you?re so scared of
You shot the cherub
Keep your guard up, get your shots
Take off your rose-colored glasses
Your Sunday school classes are free
Behind shaky worship heaves a bitter moon
There might not a file but they?re keeping tabs on you
The yellow sun will someday smolder red
Motherwit and street smarts bloom
Things fall apart the center cannot hold
Women on rockets and the men all follow
oil on water and a turd in the Louvre
Turncoats smile and then they grieve
They dig your grave shallow so you can breathe
Into Thin Air
Cords and cables, steel and concrete lie useless and dead
No worms and blood, bones and hair
A pasteless shell powders into thin air
Into Thin Air
Not far from the cradle close to the grave
In your orchard you said you were tortured
Got my eyes on you
In your orchard you said you were tortured
You?d get out of bed but you?re not that brave
You can scream but nobody?s listening
Weren?t you already kissing me
You can take your case to the Geneva Convention
But they won?t mention it
You?re the big noise and I?m nothing
With a pillow my cries are muffled
When you?re playing with the big boys
Know they got each other covered
Weak and broken the fat lady?s choking
I don?t need clothes where I?m going to
<
You can just lie there and I?ll stay
Everyone?s been someone?s worst lay
Don?t forget me when I?m gone
You?ll thank me later on
You can take your case to the Geneva Convention
But they won?t mention it
<
Bells, they rang all night
Let down your rope
Toss and turn, in your bed
Back to back
Your breaths are deep and pills
They help me go to sleep
Forget who I am
What I want
Where I?m gong to
Straight, I stand up on my artificial bones
I?ve just seen a ghost
?To your past,? my favorite toast
Seen a ghost
So I can crawl out of my head
I?m an open book
Have you read enough
A bird that?s full flies away
Straight, I stand up on my artificial bones
Won?t you take me home
?Cause I can?t leave you alone
Seen a ghost
I?m climbing up your ladder now the next rung is thin air
You are the twitch in my eyes
Pins and needles everywhere
You are the twitch in my eyes
I?m lying at your feet and you don?t care
You?re hog-ties on your dirty chair
You think that day is night
You?re so far left you think you?re right
Sugar in my tank but I?m alright
You are but I?m not blind
You are the twitch in my eyes
But I?m not blind
I?m chewing on steel wool
The china shop is burning down waiting for a bull
The glue factory?s got my name
A gathering of lies anticipating my imminent demise
Killing, killing me - hardly now
Try to scream as you shut my mouth
You are the twitch in my eyes
You are but I?m not blind
You are the twitch in my eyes
But I?m not blind
You?re laughing I?m going down
When the fields are cracked and dry
Saw you out last night sunglasses in a bar
And I can?t ignore you
and all the crops are dead
Don?t tell me that it?s raining,when you?re peeing on my head
I?ve got reliable sources giving me a clue
They?re the tired horses that are dragging you
Found your hand in my pocket and an ear in my mail
You?re the worm in silk clothing that ate his own tail
Everybody knows. . .
With your Ringling Brothers make-up on your trapeze
Everybody?s scratching from your circus fleas
Found your hand in my pocket and an ear in my mail
You?re the worm in silk clothing that ate his own tail
I?m getting happy for you
You took my breath away now
I want it back
Don?t say I?m in the red when I?m in the black
And if I can?t ignore you
I?m getting happy for you
Donna?s seven
Get it right now Donna get it right
Donna?s seven
Alone until eleven
Waiting waiting
Spider webs in the corner
Does anyone adore her
Fly in water
Youngest daughter
Waiting, waiting
We?re waiting patiently for you
The coffee can beneath the sink
Nigh time hold her mother?s urine stink
Donna?s seven
Donna?s seven
Alone until eleven
Donna?s seven
Take a walk with me behind the curtain
Tumble down and spent entangled
So glad I found you
I know your friends are watching me
Can I plant my flag high upon your hilltop
So everyone can know I?m here to stay
There never seems to be enough to fill my cup my darling
Can I mainline you again
The worms are looking for the dead
Can I crawl inside your every tiny alcove
You can knock me down and take my dying breath
There never seems to be enough to fill my cup my darling
Can I mainline you again
I?ll never be the bird around your neck . . .
There never seems to be enough to fill my cup, my darling
Can I mainline you again
There she goes
Oil cans for a giant heart
She walks like she?d rather not be in clothes
A seashell tear flows
photographs and a waxed rose
A good soul everybody knows
Green her garden grows
She sits on a fence - Sweet Pea
I?ll follow
Sweet Pea
The children laughed trying on her shoes
Boys and girls watch her move
She sits on a fence - Sweet Pea
I?ll follow Sweet Pea
I?ll follow Sweet Pea
Here's Luck
The Queen is dead
They have a secret code
The boys club
They have a secret code
Sitting among the great unwashed
They have a secret code
After the drag show
The lady in the paper said, ?Got what he asked for?
They have a secret kiss
That I wanna know
Lets the girls in
If they look good
The doorman kept calls
They might find his [foot]
They have a secret kiss
That I wanna know
Waiting for the rain to start
Everyone?s lives seem so clear
Watching from up here
They have a secret kiss
That I?ll never know
Twenty-eight, Twenty-six
It's easy to break
Sour Grapes
Grease is covering up the lense
It's easy to break
Sour Grapes
Did you have a good time there
Never knew there were two
It's easy to break
Sour Grapes
Sour Grapes
a three alarm at five o'clock
sirens getting louder
Saw you in your K car
T-boned by the road star
Walkin' off with out a stratch
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon---
Yeah, we've got them
Don't need rain
Just a glass of water
Yeah, It's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
It's hard to see
Sitting in the nose bleeds
Found your bag of fishing lures
Never found the ones that got away
Are you missing what you never have
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon---
Yeah, we've got them
Don't need rain
Just a glass of water
Yeah, It's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
Did you settle the lines there
Did you finally find what you need
Ten o'clocks in the same day
Lying on your back
you're tired of staringat the ceiling
When are we leaving
It's the waiting that kills you
It's hard to say
I think we're going down soon---
Yeah, we've got them
Don't need rain
Just a glass of water
Yeah, It's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
Yeah, we've got them
Don't need rain
Just a glass of water
Yeah, It's lonely at the bottom
It takes everything I've got
From sinking like a stone
A piece of string
I wanna hear my voice
The kettle boils
I wanna hear my voice
I wanna hear my voice
Holding everything, together
Unraveling
About to give way
A silver sphere
Baring scar
There?s a wheel somewhere, about to lose control
In the den
I wanna hold your hand
Touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Camera 1-A
And overflows
They paint the prison walls pink
Flood gates are opening
The ivory tower sings
In the den
I wanna hold your hand
Touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Camera 1-A
In the den
I wanna hold your hand
Touch your skin
Wilson Boulevard
Camera 1-A
you bought a bridge last nite
bottom feeders, nose bleeders
stickng pins in dolls
come out of the dim
they say you?re clever
you?re lying [there shaken]
sticking pins in dolls
come out of the dim
now you watching it burn
how could you see the lite
if your back was turned
well, sticking pins in dolls
and [their] thinking bout you
if the [concord?s] in the air
it?s probably got a pretty good view
the [van] is at the gates
they want a piece of you
but they?re gonna have to wait
and their thinking but you
if the concord?s in the air
it?s probably got a pretty good view
come into the lite
come out [here you?ll see]
come out the nite
and they?ll say you?re cute
little emperor in a birthday suit
you call the shots
the bomb, the dagger, and the firing swat
lining up to shoot
when all your things were taken
and inside your [shop]
you believe
a beautiful [revere], she has a radio antenna
she?s sending signals but you can?t receive
and their thinking ?bout you
if the concord?s in the air
it?s probably got a pretty good view
come into the lite
come out here you?ll see
come out of the nite
come out of the nite
Sit with me in the gutter for a while
Red dye #40
I'm a man on the move or a man on the make
Standing with my black socks on
Red dye #40
Red dye #40
Come on, come on
Just give it a try
Most people die in their beds you say
If we stay on our feet we might get away
They?re taking you to court here
You?re a third rate, first date is clear
Just deal me out I?ll get what I can take
Red dye #40
They?re taking you to court here
You?re a third rate, first date is clear
Looking just like a [busted john]
From the [mad hat] to the stand up franks
Now the walk to your door doesn?t seem like the thanks
Now you?re gone, gone like cotton candy
Well the butcher paper comes in handy
They?re taking you to court here
You?re a third rate, first date is clear
They?re taking you to court here
You?re a third rate, first date is clear
It?s so clear
I want a ticket out of boredom
You fooled us all
In too long
You fooled us all
[Words said], I long forgot them
I want a ticket out of boredom
You fooled us all
You fooled us all
[Now was] something to do with your hands and mouth
You made, a fair hand at catch
You raised the house when you struck the match
In hearts and heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
Out with the young
Now, forgiven
Just like a [dull]
In hearts and heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
[You] have your hold over my head
[Now was] something to do with your hands and mouth
Loose ends but never tied
It?s not like, I never tried
In hearts and heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
In hearts and heads
You fooled us all
It starts in bed
Made out like a bandit
It?s not the same
Make sure you get dressed up
It?s not the same
Who, carved the name on your heard board?
Ba ba ba da...
There?s the peeing on trees you know
It?s not the same
Never ends like you planned it
You don?t carry a torch for him
The earth was scorched for him
Now you can?t forget
It?s never better
It?ll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can?t see [more]
For the tears
You?ll never know, if you?ll see your Ex there
But he?ll finally fade out
?Cause you stayed out too long
It?s never better
It?ll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can?t see more
For the tears
Who?
It?s true
You can stand it out it?s true
The birds and bees you know
Don?t wanna let you go
When they?re kicking your tires one day
You?re gonna tell ?em ?hey, this car?s up for sale?
It?s never better
It?ll change your world
If you let it, for now
You can?t see more
For the tears (x 9)
Over the airwaves
Losing transmissions
And I can?t hear a single word you?re sayin?
Winter of ?99
And I can?t hear a single word you?re sayin?
Broken records play for free
I can?t hear you
I can?t hear a single word you?re sayin?
Losing transmissions
Under the Radar
Say it again it?s not sinking in
Family traditions
[You can boil a pot of water]
But you can?t make it listen to you
When I?m playin?
Turn the radio down
The signal?s fading
Try to listen
Losing transmissions
Borrowing all the time
Robbed Peter then we sucker punch Paul
Temporary disconnected
Worst than I expected
Sorry but I?m tuning you out of my adled brain
When I?m playing
Turn the radio down
The signal?s fading
Try to listen
Losing transmissions
Keeps playing
Are you calling my name
50 yards a stair
Is there anyone there
[We?re through with the stars]
But the world ain?t ours anymore
Play it again
I always blow it
The check?s in the mail
But the cops don?t know it
Sorry but I?m tuning you out of my adled brain
When I?m playin?
Turn the radio down
The signal?s fading
Signal?s breaking
I can?t hear a single word
When I?m playng
[Shout out the word in the flaking]
Signal?s breaking
Like a musical [raking]
But I tried to listen
Losing transmissions
(I can?t hear you) Losing transmissions
(I can?t hear you) Losing transmissions
Come hell
You forgot your [peas and cubes]
And there?s a bug at your window
Easy as the egg strikes the stone
And heaven looks after
Head?s a penny
We worship the ground, you trip on
And heaven looks after
Or hot water
You?re going down
And easy, lies the head
That wears the crown
Because you paid your dues
Doesn?t make it alright
That will not leave you alone
Tonight
And heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
It?s the one that finds the bone
You too shall pass
And easy lies the head
That wears the crown
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
Are a broken mirror
You can have them all
We don?t need them here
Wanna stay but you?ve got to get out
Feeling sure but you have your doubts
And easy lies the head
That wears the crown
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
Heaven looks after
Fools and thieves
I saw the abominable snowman at the fair
Scabs, on his clubbed feet
For a couple dollars
Lobster boy, found half-way round the world
For a couple dollars
Where have all the freaks gone
I saw the abominable snowman at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Carnie says he?s from Nepal
Take a look if you dare
Smell of fish and chips in the air
Alone in his trailer, people come to pay and stare
You can see the freaks at the fair
Stand and laugh
Or you can just stare
?Thank god my kids don?t look like that!?
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Modern science, keeps alive
A beautiful headless girl
Siamese twins
Or child in fins
Makes you cry
Doo-doo?doo..do
[See her] turn into an ape before your eyes
You can see the freaks at the fair
Stand and laugh
Or you can just stare
?Thank god my kids don?t look like that!?
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
We don?t see them at the fair
Have doctors found a cure,
Are they all locked up somewhere?
Connie says he?s from Nepal
Take a look if you dare
Freakshow at the fair
Freakshow at the fair
Words
My ears are always, burning
I saw,
My ears are always, burning
Stars are all lined up
It?s hit or miss
My ears are always, burning
The writing?s on the wall
But it?s Greek to me
I heard
Some [k?] singing
But it don?t speak to me
Not this sweet to me
?Cause I think I?m the one
But if you?re concern
You can stop me from
Chasing the sun
Saw your light [burrows]
And they brought down the house
We?re on another caper
Bad motel wallpaper
And I screwed them all
Yeah, that?s all she would
?Cause I think I?m the one
But if you?re concern
You can stop me from
Chasing the sun
For the [sloping, of the slow death]
And the fingernail clippers with the moon
In the autumn sky
Still wondering why
I?m here
Then again, piss
It?s the death march
And though, the things that don?t kill us
Will make us last
It still kicks our ass
?Cause I think I?m the one
But if you?re concern
You can stop me from
Chasing the sun, the sun
