Swear to God, cross my heart, stick a needle right through my eye
She's the one that I seen, smiles at me when she's driving by But I turn away As if it's enough just to say to myself If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live Now and then, ask a friend to make it happen, we're introduced She says we've met, I don't think so, I'd remember a day like that She's just standing there Better show her what fate looks like If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live I live Oh, I live (I live) I live I live I live (Brace myself and tell her how it is) If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live If I had you, I could never, ever ask for anything again as long as I live |

"It's like I'm dizzy all the time," he said as he got in the line
"I've been to three or more like him who all said I should do just fine I've spent more money than I'm worth, I've got some more for what that's worth" If I were ever to confuse these things, I would most certainly abuse my thing Now that you all can read my mind, I think it's safe to say you'll mind my mind My head's full of nothing but lead, at least that's how it feels in bed I try to get up but I'm held upside down, give me something to calm me down It's like the doctors used to say, "All work and no play, make Jason run away" Dexmanol, Demerol, codeine with the dream team I'd trade anything to feel as good as I used to Hey doc, whatever faith I had in your miracle medicine Is out the window with the air, been replaced by the Indian I've been to ten or more like you, I'm sure they'll all agree it's true If I were ever to confuse these things, I would most certainly abuse my thing Now that you all can read my mind, I think it's safe to say you'd mind You would then subsequently lose, you'd lose your mind... |

Things seem so hectified now, I ain't gots me no peace
I'm, well, entirely pent up now, I can't gets me no release I started jotting stupid things down I could repeat later on When I know the timing's just right I hope no one here's heard this song...this song 'Cause we retired all that came before Well I talked about the future Lord knows we've talked about the past When I feel the timing's just right Good God I only hope it lasts I've got some friends who feel important Seems they've swayed some who really are It's just a trick of natural lighting Make your mind see very far...so far 'Cause we've retired all that came before It's mans way to think No one could handle what he's been through What was alright for me Would not work for you Can you believe in anything now Now everything's believable Thought I might bring up the future If that's at all conceivable 'Cause I'm a slave to all that's insight Hovering 'round the truth awhile Oh, like some messenger of alright Who wears upon his face a smile...I'm smiling 'Cause we've retired all that came before |

I've been hiding my sins in the ground
All the while without making a single sound This in spite of the fact I know you're all around Oh my God, don't show me heaven I don't want to have to tell 'em ... there's more Train of thought slips my tracks once again And I'm holding the hand of a long lost friend It's a light that I've seen in your curious eyes Like that thing we're supposed to see when we die Can I help it I want to see more More and more and I need more 'Til then, my God, don't show me heaven I don't want to have to tell 'em ... there's more Don't it make you wonder what came first The insatiable hunger or unquenchable thirst Does it matter at all once you check ... out of here 'Til then, my God, don't show me heaven I don't want to have to tell 'em 'Til then, my God, don't show me heaven I don't want to have to tell 'em 'Til then, my God, don't show me heaven I don't want to have to tell 'em |

She goes to bed, but it's always alone
With a handful of friends and trouble at home She wants to be good, she knows that she should But with the knowledge of this, there's no way she could...oh, no We're no more than friends and that's where it ends But funny enough we're both wearing grins And I'll spend half the day just running around With a pocket of change and you on my mind I play with some words you might not have heard But I'm never afraid of sounding absurd And it's not hard to see the way this could be And if it's alright with you, then, it's OK with me... Some things are better unsaid... Oh, she goes to bed, but it's always alone With a handful of friends and trouble at home Oh, she wants to be real, to learn how to feel What can a poor girl do, but take your heart from you She'll take your heart from you... |

I don't want to believe
All the ugly things about you I read Seems to me we could move right along Without singing the same old song Everyday I see your picture And it makes me smile, that's for sure But are you proud of all that you've done After all, it has been so much fun Can't they see you're not like the fakes Who have careers off of others mistakes Well, I can see and I understand Follow me, you'll like what you see Pull yourself out of your own history I'm someone that you've come to believe Follow me, now I've got just what you need Everybody's talkin' so loud Of how they knew you before you became proud Well, I can dream of a day When we'll never have to go our own ways Go your own way Can't they see you're not like the fakes Who have careers off of public mistakes Well, I can see and I understand, so Follow me, you'll like what you see Pull yourself out of your own history I'm someone that you've come to believe Follow me, now I've got just what you need Follow me, you'll like what you see Pull yourself out of your own misery I'm someone that you've come to believe Follow me, now I've got just what you need |

The flowers I bought when you took off are wilted in the vase
There's something here beneath the hair that kind of looks like my face Garbage man, oh garbage man, why won't you leave my street How can this street possibly excrete this much trash seven days a week I am here and you are there and it don't make me feel any better My baby blue, my you know who Bring your sugar back before my heart attacks I feel I should abandon all and travel down to the south I swear I would, if only I could get last night's party out of my mouth I am here and you are there, and it don't make me feel any better My baby blue, my beautiful darlin' sweetheart, honey pooh Bring your sugar back before my heart attacks I'm drinking more and more and more, can't hold onto myself There ain't no use when you're not here, appreciating my good health I know I'm here and I know you're there but it don't make me feel any better About eating more and sleeping less, I'm just waiting on your letter |

Anything you want, anything you need from me
Don't be afraid to ask cause I am here for you Embrace my every charm, hold me in your arms tonight Don't take me for a ride, I've nowhere to reside, yeah... I approached you that way only to find no peace of mind Yes, I'm guilty of love - if that is a crime One thing I know is true What once was me everyone now believes is you Originality was never big on your list of things to be Take me home to keep, picture me inside your sleep I'm here inside your dreams, I'll wake you with a scream A crime it seems to me, like a bird without a tree To sleep and rest his weary wings Just listen to him sing, yeah... I approached you that way only to find no peace of mind Yes, I'm guilty of love - if that is a crime One thing I know is true What once was me everyone now believes is you Originality was never big on your list of things Your list of things to be Drop your gun and your guard put your hands up in the air Give me back what you stole and get out Get the hell outta here One thing I know is true What once was me everyone now believes is you Originality was never big on your list of things to be A closer look only to find you standing without reason or rhyme And when the lights go up we'll see a man who's afraid of himself Afraid of himself Afraid himself to be |

If I were a fighter I'd probably kick your ass
But since I'm such a lover I'll just have to let these things pass Because as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understanding Baby, baby, baby, don't you know me Baby, baby, baby, can't control me I was born a butterfly With a twinkle in my eye And as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understandings I've held so long Just to find I took you wrong It's you that's been here all along In truth together we belong So I left Mr. demanding, I did (that's me) Baby, baby, baby, don't you know me Believe me baby, no one can console me I have lived a thousand lives With a penchant for disguise What I tried to hide Is that I knew you lied And it cranked up my pride So incredibly high And as time goes by I can no longer deny That a part of me died When I met miss understanding When I met miss understanding I don't need miss understandings Bye bye... |

Don't lock the door
I just might be back at four And don't fret your pretty face Or tidy up the place Cause I'm no the one who promised you Anything but this truth That's if there will be storms you haven't seen And you're not here nor there but in between We might have to start again Only this time as better friends He was your prince in white With a curious lust for the night But you never seemed to mind Even as you were left behind There hardly seemed a thing to say She saw blue but the sky was gray And even though he's out a lot Ya still got him He's what you got But he falls asleep again "I'm going out with my girlfriends" And It seems I've finally found a way by which to say How I'm sorry everyday I go astray Yes, it seems I've finally found a way by which to say How I'm sorry everyday I go astray Astray, astray, astray...I go She wakes up late and she sees before her newspapers spinning 'round Takes just a second to grab her senses as her love comes tumblin' down But she knows inside this is worth each heartache as she hears a familiar sound In the form of an apology Finally found a way by which to say How I'm sorry everyday I go astray Yes, it seems I've finally found a way by which to say How I'm sorry everyday I go astray I've finally found a way by which to say... |

When a dog chases its tail
You just know the poor thing is ganna fail Ah, it seems you finally caught yours Last seen with a friend and a family member Pitch black outside, bright white indoors Come back inside Pictured here with a throat that would deliver A fist of nails and a harrowing tale And what a tale you told You ran outside and caught the moon I knew then and there I'd never catch up to you When you ran outside and caught the moon I knew then and there I'd never catch up to you You may not have been able to change the world But at least you changed my world You may not have been able to change the world But at least you changed my world... |
