Well I took a camera on vacation
To fit miami in a frame She didn't mind, she blew me kisses Said, "well what's your name?" I plan my dinner at the hotel But then my dinner plans got wrecked An investment banker started something So i broke his neck We're all stuck out in the desert And we're gonna die Wipe that sand and salt From your blistering eyes Well the polygraph needles were jumpin And my conscience edward fell asleep I can't trust myself to tell the secrets I was told to keep The fastest jackalope in texas He started runnin outta luck Bit by a snake Then he got hit by jimmy's semi-truck We're all stuck out in the desert And we're gonna die Wipe that sand and salt From your blistering eyes Well i know sometimes i get distracted America's so big and wide With her long white fingers she says "hush, i'm not the marrying kind" My mind moves faster when i'm walkin My baby shoes are dipped in bronze I don't give a shit, she calls the shots That's how we get along We're all stuck out in the desert And we're gonna die Wipe that sand and salt From your blistering eyes |

Well we all gonna see a great empire
Cut down in its prime See its fruit die on the vine In prime time color time And there are millions in this world that mercy will not touch, But they don't mind that much Cause that's the way life's always been But you don't wanna hear 'bout that from me, I know, I know my place And God know I don't belong Singing a worthless freedom song It's all a waste of time It's all a waste of time The pretty girl who lives next door, She don't know how to lie When I look into her eyes, I can see the day I'm gonna die All that water flows through the cracks and holes in the silver reservoir Where your never truly far, From someone who's exactly like you It's all a waste of time It's all a waste of time Rock 'n' Roll makes me feel guilty I've got no defense My sadness makes no sense I'm gettin' rich and I'm makin' new friends All I've found is it gets colder further north you go It's pissin' rain and snow It's the world I don't want to know It's all a waste of time It's all a waste of time You take it from me You leave it behind Ah, you take it from me You leave it behind Ah, you take if from me You leave it behind |

It's the end of the affair It's the end of the affair And I don't care So, Sugar, Been a long hot dirty year My dear You've got all your problems, I've got mine My hands are tied behind me All I ever do is waste your time I don't believe it's true It ain't right It ain't right I want you To leave me alone Just leave me the hell alone On my own Why won't you Lie and let it lay, Let this dog have it's day, anyway? You've got all your problems, I've got mine My hands are tied behind me All I ever do is waste your time I don't believe it's true It ain't right It ain't right It ain't right Right Right Right |

We're driving through the canyons
Singing songs from the sixties The telephone rang, she said, "Babe, do you miss me?" And ain't it a shame not to love the one you're with Well she spoke with the prettiest mouth And she scorned me She sharpened her teeth and flashed them to warn me That ain't it a shame when you hate the one you loved Well, it couldn't be me No, it couldn't be me No, they're not in your dreams He don't look a thing like me Well I dated a rich girl With a mother of pearl Who paid rent in her high rise The weight of the world And ain't it a shame when you're exchangin' all your brand new gifts Well after a night on the floor, She put the chain on her door I'd worn out my welcome I guess she got bored She laid her on my brother And laid him across my bed No, it couldn't be me No, it couldn't be me No, they're not in your dreams He don't look a thing like me Well it sounds like rain And here that's a rare thing Out here in the desert, I'm stealing my water From a hole in a mountain that flows to the affordable homes And from the faucet it drips And I'll clean up the messes The others have left us Well I think they've blessed us There's a chain on my door But I'm in love with the one I'm with And it couldn't be me No, it couldn't be me No, they're not in your dreams He don't look a thing like me Well it couldn't be me No, it couldn't be me No, they're not in your dreams He don't look a thing like me |

Jimmy left New York for California
The east river wind blew him on his way Past the cracked concrete through the sky he scraped Said if you live like a ghost you don't leave no trace He stood on the edge of the big black ocean If you lean too close you can fall right in And a man he met said that California was sinking That he was standing on the edge of the earth It may be hard, hard to believe Before it all falls in I wanna make my mark Before I go swimming with them Great White Sharks I wanna walk this land with a pick and a pan I don't believe the gold rush is over The man said boy you got some big ideas You better make some room for the raging seas Soon you'll have salt water up to your ears You'll take one last breath and go under It may be hard, hard to believe He wanted to find out how much he was worth He wanted to leave a scar on the face of the earth But the tricks of the trade made a fool out of him Once a man eats well he gets hungry again And it's a hell of a day when you realize The people you despise are keeping you alive And you search down your soul But you don't have the guts To look into that mirror and admit that you're fucked. It may be hard, hard to believe. It may be hard, hard to believe. |

It is best to keep it all inside
When the quicksand fills your boots and rises past your eyes It is better to die suffocating and choking on your pride It is best to keep it all inside When she's telling you that you're no good And that you'll never be much more than some fool carved out of wood It's best to kill her with your kindness while you're sleeping in her bed It is best to keep it all inside It is never too late to come home You will always have your box in your room Where your momma lays your clothes out And she leaves you where you lie It is best to keep it all inside When it's good it's really good When there's fruit up on the table and she treats you like she should There's no need to get excited let your heels click on the floor It is best to keep it all inside It is best to keep it all inside |
