i've come here a thousand times, some things never change "yes i will, anything you say" i've quit this a million times, can't quite stay away just one more time...i'll be ok but i'm so damn tired when i come back down though i'm crazy to anything you want from me i'll do "hey joe, could you spare a buck i could use some food" what a laugh, one more fool two hours and it's back again, lapping at my heels stop yelling..i'll get through but i'm so damn tired i've come here a thousand time some things never change lay me down...take me away god, i'm so damn tired3. Don't Go Away
we were sharing so many words and feelings age is heavier, it seems, than years alone but, i told you things i wouldn't dream of telling anyone are we drifting out, like flowers from a forgotten someone don't go away i can't feel the same without you we were making so many plans and secrets we would both be millionaires or kings or presidents but like everything those little dreams just kind of came and went hard now just to make end meet how soon we al forget4. High On A Riverbed
why try when everything i do seems half right how can i be satisfied writing words from someone's else's lies but sometimes i'm standing here high on a riverbed and light breaks through everything feels good for a while high on a riverbed i see myself sometimes vision is a mystery half blind i wander through my life wondering what i could be if i if i5. I Think About
watching me a bird upon a roof with coal-black feathers cocks his head to catch my eye wandering and unfocused i cannot meet his stare he takes to wing silhouette against the sun surrounded by the glare funny how the days go by invisibly and faster than i realize the things i think about strange to find the calendar my enemy and scared that when i die so will the things i think about i believe in so many things i know that none of them are true and my feet firm upon a pathway i am far too blind to see leading me funny how the days go by invisibly and faster than i realize the things i think about scared to find the calendar my enemy and when i die so will the thousand things i think about on and on and on...6. Corporal Brown
corporal brown was tall, boy! and likes to go and fish corporal's wife was quite fat and was raving like a bitch and i'm a bit drunk as i watch they are yelling loud, he throws a punch oh lord, what am i gonna do? corporal brown was quite scared when he looked down at her corporal's wife was quite dead so he carried her and took her outside dug a grave and placed her inside i was amazed oh lord, what am i gonna do?7. Jam
one more time he says good-night turns out the door and off the light cursing low as if she didn't know one more time he'd comfort her as if a word could break through her she's so quiet and he's sick of it too long, too late this time too far, too great in my mind one more time a run-around nothing meant by anyone fine with them, such a quite din says he wants to leave a while she just sits and tries to smile "that's ok, it was boring anyway" too long, too late this time too far, too great in my mind says she needs a worshiper someone who'll do anything at all for her wishful thinker he don't need this schizo bull each one misses by so far they don't see it come, but who ever does...8. Chile
be who you are if it fits in the system say what you will but you might die if they listen they think in the politics of gasoline and torture please only talk to me in the dark write what you will if you write in a prison sing how you feel but you die if they listen they think in the politics of rosaries and chains and it's hard to tell the right for the wrong when the right is protecting the wrong be who you are but not where there are people reality is taught right and wrong, there is no middle we think in politics of money and ourselves9. Liars Everywhere
here in my mind is a wall i can't climb don't listen now there are liars everywhere deep in my heart is a stone i must cut don't listen now there are liars everywhere liars are everywhere10. Nothing is Alone
something rushes over me and i find myself standing here lift my eyes up to the sky and offer a silent prayer sometime all the shouting stops and the restlessness loses hold and i cry out to everything that nothing is alone if the winter won't turn me then the summer can't burn me and the rain will never fall upon a restless soul nothing is alone11. She Cried
solitaire, such a fateful game she turns her cards and writes her name on the napkin mow she turns another card she dreams about the house and romance he promised but won't deliver she waits alone with dried out hopes and dormant phone she waits for years and fantasies melt new ones appear but they won't help and again she catches him eye pulls away with light too dim she calls his name and runs around but he was faster all alone in a bad part of town she waits again with dried out hopes and things made for him a little ride, a little fun was all he held her tight, got tired and then let go the strain on her heart she believed a lying blackheart painted with promises then he left her on the floor with only the mirror to curse "should've known better" but how she cried...
