Worried sick my eyes are hurting
To rest my head I'd take a life Outside the girls are dancing 'Cause when you're down it just don't seem right Feeling second fiddle to a dead man Up to my neck with your disregard Like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway No one wants to hear you when you're down Sister luck is screaming out Somebody else's name Sister luck is screaming out Somebody else's name A flip of a coin Might make a head turn No surprise, who sleeps Held my hand over a candle Flame burnin' but I never weep Sister luck is screaming out Somebody else's name Sister luck is screaming out Somebody else's name What a shame (Repeat 2nd Chorus) |

How could I've been so blind
So empty that I've never felt warm Can I spell it out Turn myself out of my home Lookin' like a fool Feelin' even worse than it seems Tryin' hard as nails Believin' only in myself And now it looks like innocence is gone I know right and I know what's wrong Feeling lonely that's the way it goes Sometimes But my greatest fear Paint a smile from ear to ear Alone and cryin' Living like this is no better than dying I tell you baby things are gonna' change Looking like we were caught out in the rain Feeling lonely That's the way it goes Sometimes Chorus: Could I ever have been so blind Could I ever have been so blind Could I ever have been so blind Could I ever have been so blind Solo Could I ever have been so blind Could I ever have been so blind Hardest thing I ever had to do Was stand up straight and tell it all to you Look you right in the eye Tell you baby sorry but I have lied And now it looks like innocence is gone I know right and I know what's wrong Feeling lonely that's the way it goes Sometimes (Repeat Chorus 4 times) |

Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on your window sill? Are you the reason that he broke his back? Tell me, did I see you laugh about that? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it glide? Can I have some remedy? All I want is a remedy. Remedy for me please. Cause if I had some remedy I'd take enough to please me. Baby, baby, why you dye your hair? Why you always keeping with your mother's dare? So, baby why who's who, who know you, too? Did the other children scold on you? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it slide? |

Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines Tell me about your heartaches Who could be so unkind? Do you dream to touch me? And smile down deep inside Or could you just kill me? It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Are you wanting inspiration You spill your secrets on me Then you tell me with a whisper Of things that will never be. Do you hear me breathing? Does it make you want to scream? Did you ever like a bad dream? Sometimes life is obscene. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Lover cover me with your sleep Let your love light shine, let it shine Lover cover me with a good dream Let your love light shine, let it shine |

To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with vultures And empty saviors like you I wish I had a nickel for every miracle That you easily tricked me into You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've no time for accusations Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do. Just a note from your jailor Drugs and the relations To all the people around you You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've kept secret your superstitions And all its twisted wisdom That I fell into Sister can you try and find me? |

Oh good heavens, baby where's my medicine?
I must have left it outside with my etiquette The undertaker's rule of thumb It's hard to talk with a novocain tongue This room smells like hotel illness The scars I hide are now your business I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this No baby love is not a punishment. Hypnotize by your rotten behavior This week's fashion is last year's flavor I got a head full of sermons and a mouth full of spiders The politics of the world's greatest liar So tell me baby is it true all those things that they say about you... |

Sleeping eyes sleep awhile
And let me get to know your language If I believe all I see I would hate to be around for the dawn Sleeping eyes stay awhile And give me some cause to rejoice A parody of the scene Where my three wishes were granted to me What you got buried? In your backyard What secret do you sleep with when the black moon come Sleeping eyes please come clean I'm not giving you the third degree When you live with no man's time Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind Sleeping eyes don't you cry And don't pretend this is not an ending Your history yes it seems Has been swept out with the leaves |

Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son A doctor laughs in the face of disease I never once heard a preacher say please And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. Policemen who break the laws Politicians rise and fall A baby crying for its mothers milk A daddy's secret hidden guilt And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. |

Dizzy found me last night
Saw some kind of new light I woke up in a whirlwind Just you watch my head spin The spectacle that made you cry It's a thrill a minute plane ride It's over time at ring side, no lie March me down to the seven seas Bury me with a ruby ring Kiss me baby on an Easter Sunday day Make my haze blow away I hide I seek and I find Truth in a fable faith in a rhyme So why you want to bad talk me Are you surprised by what we see? Like the tables and the tides turn On my bed the emperor worn Is that enough for me, could be If music got to free your mind Just let it go cause you never know, you never know If your rhythm ever falls out of time You can bring it to me and I will make it alright And if your soul is let go Oh you never know, no you never know And if your heart is beating free For the very first time it'll be alright |

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine In between I get cold, old mean Intertwined with country pride open and kind This draws a line Sorry to coin a phrase On either side is wisdom and rage So keeping track of time Racing with my age Sleeping with the snakes Forget that you showed up late It ain't worth it baby Chorus: A charmed life it is At least they tell yo so I got a good idea It ain't like they say is so And if it is then let me go Let me go Any day there might be hell to pay But in other ways It makes it seem ok I'll tell you what I mean It's not a plot nor a scheme It's just peace in my mind Again can I use the word kind I ain't sorry about it baby Chorus |

I'm descending again Open your eyes This time it's sink or it's swim No sermons on ascending No verdict on deceit No selfish memorandum No confusion for me Chorus: Curses Curses and clues A feast for fools Have mercy baby And hand me downs It was just a few years ago You'd hand me ups and map Right out of town But I would let it slide Like mercury Silver and quick Poisonous and deadly So deadly |

Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear Make my honey Grind that salt before the rains come this year Make it all muddy So now you have called And now you want to ring my neck Oh baby you talk so tight Tell me now who's all wet I could kiss your promiscuous mind My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear Make us all alone Wind your watch and bless all my prayers Make ready to get home Oh now you get so hard Now you ring my neck Now you wanna talk so tight Tell me who's all wet I could kiss your promiscuous mind I could kiss your promiscuous mind Yes I could I have four lone stars That you have given me Yeah, why don't you give it baby Well, the feeling you're giving baby Tell me, what you give away Give it, give it, give it |

Never a heaven an age old question
Written from a cold place I feel sour I need a shower Or just a slap in the face Circumstance has left romance And a puzzle in front of me Who knows the ending If the truth need bending A lie is the tool that you'll need So I'm under a mountain Stuck to this mattress Perfume and Valium What makes a Sunday different from Monday Could be a look in her eyes In need of flattery she changes batteries So that her light will shine The words she utters Either so flows or stutters They're either silly or wise Anger with concern But never to yearn Only to be by your side Lay down with number 13 It's a cold gray shame |

We've been avoiding this for so long
Luxury is temporary than it's gone I thought that we would happen I guess I'm wrong We'll say hi on the street Then we'll move along I know this will be awkward But not for long 'Cause soon you'll have a new boy To sing you songs I will not forgive you Nor will I accept the blame I will see you on Good Friday On Good Friday I'm sorry I couldn't do this yesterday And tomorrow I am busy And what it is I can't say And Saturday's no good I got a show So it's got to be Good Friday Then it's so long I will not forgive you Nor will I accept the blame I will see you on Good Friday On Good Friday You You come and go when you please I know unfulfilled heads I know you do too But I You know I never see things through Never paid attention to you But honey I tried I will not forgive you Nor will I accept the blame I will see you on Good Friday On Good Friday |

From the moment you see
The moment you breath The moment I touch you From the moment you crawl The moment you fall The instant I loved you again From the moment of darkness The moment of light The second I kissed you From the moment I enter The moment I leave In this moment of rapture One mirror to many gonna tie you up A life forever empty has got to be tough To many starless night gonna leave you blind Can never make it right From the moment you stumble The moment you run In your presence I crumble From the moment it happens The moment you know There's no life without you |

With pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown
She sat silent at the table Her boots were brown, well should she leave town To play the role of lover expatriate A nod to the waiter, always her flirty behavior You know she always gets one on the house She pulls out a letter From a bag under her sweater And before she reads she straightens her blouse There's a passion in being alone A grace in a loveless time There's no new cross, there's no new sign Only the sun and the changing tide And out of respect, well really must confess I never lost your number I never lost your address And if we remain friends at best Sometime later no, no not yet We'll smile and remember it like this She put back the letter One tear falls like a feather And disappears on the bar room floor The gratuity included You know the letter concluded P.S. with all my love There's a passion in being alone A grace in a loveless time There's no new cross, there's no new sign Only the sun and the changing tide I said P.S. all my love P.S. all my love P.S. all my love |

You could be so energy
Electricity You could be lightening You could be anything A masterpiece A revolutionary You can see what, you want to see Can you let it be? Learn or teach [Chorus:] I'm only halfway to everywhere I'm thinking positively Positively This is possible They can say right or wrong Never hear this song Or look you in the eye I'm getting rid of negativity Lose the loss in me Call it equality Good luck is a frame of mind Call it humankind And say its destiny |

What could I do different?
It makes one sober to think In an age of illusion It's hard to know when to stop How could I live indifferent Believing in time and fate As long as I have a witness My name is not at stake Bring on this flowering Bring on Bring on Bring on this flowering Would you stop to listen Though words cannot describe It's hard waiting for heaven May your song keep you alive And on the day I said good-bye My drowning tear catches a light Like the gift of sight The baby's eye, darkness into light I can rest my soul And walk in the light I'm positively spring time The gift of sight The baby's eye Darkness into light |

How much for your wings?
How much for your wings? Well it comes and it goes How much for your wings? And it's high and low How much for your wings? I can name a price How much for your wings? Many forget their pride chorus If I were you and and you were me we'd know And could it be what you perceive is wrong? And what I mean what wrong could be I don't know I'm not naive but I believe So I may grow How much for your wings? The soul you kiss good-bye How much for your wings? Watch the stars collide How does it feel When you're the only one? |

Hey there buddy
Slow down for me I'm friendly and I'm clean I will not rob you or cause you misery Your wheels sound good to me I ain't green with travel As you can see I only got one bag If I am trouble drop me off In Abilene I'll pay my gasoline Let me share the ride Let me share the ride It's hard living on travel time Please let me share your ride I never was a young man Never felt old This life is a mystery My coffee's hot not cold I'll turn your dashboard gold Slow down take a look at me I'm not not running from anything I've no past to hide I've got no secrets haunting me I just easy ride |

I love you in the worst way
The only way I know They say the clearer the water The more that it shows They say the deeper the river The stronger the love Your eyes don't lie to me And your smile is worth its weight in gold This Life This life aches And this life moans This life is great This life is great And it's better when you're not alone Not alone You love me in the worst way The only way you know They say the higher the mountain The more love that grows They say the stronger the wind blows The farther we'll go I hope you don't lie to me There's nothing better than your touch How many times does this happen Two people like us meet As I try to be humble And lay down at your feet |

This is illegal
Through an evil eye And I won't deceive you This I testify You all know the reason why I won't enslave you A little bliss forever I'm not afraid to love you A little bliss forever Look at the world with an evil eye Your cold heart won't let you cry Try to make a change in the wink of an eye Do you have it in you to even try? Jesus can't save you Though it's nice to think he'd try This is not to scare you This is to make sense of your time Do prophets speak in rhymes? Then you die! |

Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son A doctor laughs in the face of disease I never once heard a preacher say please And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. Policemen who break the laws Politicians rise and fall A baby crying for its mothers milk A daddy's secret hidden guilt And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. |

To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with vultures And empty saviors like you I wish I had a nickel for every miracle That you easily tricked me into You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've no time for accusations Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do. Just a note from your jailor Drugs and the relations To all the people around you You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've kept secret your superstitions And all its twisted wisdom That I fell into Sister can you try and find me? |

I lose myself
I forget myself Sometimes I fault myself I might fight myself But then I make amends I freeze myself Rain on myself OK, so I stone myself And I might even find myself But then again what happens if I do So unzip my pride Open me up wide So I can show this to you Chorus: I want to shine for you I want to sparkle too Just like a diamond cursed Well you know it don't get worse You know that I'll save you time Your trouble now is mine Hold me baby Hold me girl And I will laugh with you If you want me to Roll me in your splendor I'll envy your surrender And show you victory I hate myself Doesn't everybody hate themselves I scare myself Then I tell myself it's all in my mind So I let the poison go 'Cause I always know It will be there for me Chorus |

Baby here I am
I'm the man on the scene I can give you what you want But you gotta' come home with me I forgot some good old lovin' And I got some more in the store When I get through throwin' it on you You gotta' come back for more (Chorus) Boys and things that come by the dozen That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin' Pretty little thing let me light your candle 'Cause mama I'm so hard to handle now Yes I am Action speaks louder than words And I'm a man with great experience I know you've got another man But I can love you better than him Take my hand don't be afraid I'm gonna prove every word I say I'm advertising love for free So you can place your ad with me (Chorus) Boys come along a dime by the dozen That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin' Pretty little thing let me light your candle 'Cause mama I'm so hard to handle now Yes I am (Repeat Verse 1) (Repeat Chorus 1) |

Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on your window sill? Are you the reason that he broke his back? Tell me, did I see you laugh about that? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it glide? Can I have some remedy? All I want is a remedy. Remedy for me please. Cause if I had some remedy I'd take enough to please me. Baby, baby, why you dye your hair? Why you always keeping with your mother's dare? So, baby why who's who, who know you, too? Did the other children scold on you? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it slide? |
