Blinking lights on the airplane wings Up above the trees Blinking down a morse code signal Especially for me Ain't no rainbow in the sky In the middle of the night But the signal's coming through One day i will be alright again Blinking lights on the highway cars Stopping one by one Get a look at the accident Didn't see that one coming And the doctor in the sky Gonna bring his chopper down Gonna bring me out alive And set me on the ground Once more again Blinking lights on the airplane wings Up above the trees |

I don't miss where I came from But each night I dream about being back home When I wake up in the morning I'm too tired, tired of being alone So I get up and go downtown And pick me out a little piece of ground Where I can prove something to the world I can prove something to the world Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer Daddy put us in the truck and Dropped us off and said good luck, then One lucky kid waiting for the bus Made a winner out of one of us Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer Going down by the railroad tracks, where People know that they better not relax I'm the man, baby, I am the man This is where I can make you understand I'm the bus stop boxer Don't look at me |

I like a girl with a dirty mouth Someone that I can believe We had a window, not open too long But that time is good and gone And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies Sit on the back porch and wonder bout her What is she doing right now? Making somebody a happier man Dying her hair back to brown Once in a while your life gets so good Worth all the trouble of the past That was the case but I think I always knew Good things don't ever last And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies I like a girl with a dirty mouth Know that I can trust her We had our time but it didn't last too long And that time is good and gone That time is good and gone |

There's nothing that i wanna do More than get alone and be with you Trouble with dreams is they don't come true And when they do they can't catch up to you You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams I'm walking down a lonely road Clear to me now but i was never told Trouble with dreams is you never know When to hold on and when to let go If you let me down it's alright At least that leaves something for me 'cause you know i've got An awful lot of big dreams This is the life that i must lead now Crossing fingers and wiping brow Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend Something with no beginning has an end You don't need a thing from me But i need something big from you 'cause you know i've got an awful lot of big dreams |

She had the eyes of someone older
I have the eyes that wander 'round I couldn't see what really mattered Caught hell from my boss Don't care about my job Caught a cold from the rain Don't care if i'm cold Played every record that i own today But the only thing i care about got away She was a walking work of art I am a broken wind-up toy I thought i knew what really mattered Got a flat on the road Don't care about my car Lost twenty-six bucks Don't care about my rent Caught every episode on tv today But the only thing i care about got away She had a brilliant future I have a past I have my memories But they're fading fast |

My beloved monster and me We go everywhere together Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves Gets us throught all kinds of weather She will always be the only thing That comes between me and the awful sting That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean My beloved monster is tough If she wants she will disrobe you But if you lay her down for a kiss Her little heart it could explode She will always be the only thing That comes between me and the awful sting That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean La la la la la la la la La la la la la la |

I had a date with a pretty ballerina
Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes I asked her for this dance And then she obliged me Was I surprised, yeah Was I surprised, No not at all I called her yesterday, It should have been tomorrow I could not keep The joy that was inside I begged for her to tell me If she really loved me Somewhere a mountain is moving Afraid it's moving without me I had a date with a pretty ballerina Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes I asked her for this dance And then she obliged me Was I surprised, yeah Was I surprised, no not at all And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning I open up my eyes to find there's rain And something strange within said, "go ahead and find her Just close your eyes, yeah Just close your eyes and she'll be there" She'll be there |

Little field mice Living under the house Never eating much Tough life for a mouse And if you think you're gonna be spared you're wrong Field mice, head lice Spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice about Whatever keeps you itchin Ice water, flyswatter Gonna get you through The day Heat is rolling in like Hell's red rug Stinking like the breath of beelzebub And if you think you won't walk on coals you will Field mice, head lice Spiders in the kitchen Don't think twice about Whatever keeps you itchin Ice water, flyswatter Gonna get you through The day |

If you're travelin' the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there, For she once was a true love of mine. If you go when snowflakes storm, When the rivers freeze and summer ends, Please see she has a coat so warm, To keep her from the howling winds. Please see if her hair hangs long, It rolls and flows all down her breast, Please see for me if her hair's hangin' down, For that's the way I remember her best. I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all, Many times I've often prayed, In the darkness of my night, In the brightness of my of my day. So if your'e travelin' the north country fair, Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline, Remember me to one who lives there, For she once was a true love of mine. |

Feel like an old railroad man Ridin' out on the bluemont line Hummin' along old dominion blues Not much to see and not much left to lose And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And i guess i may never understand The times that i live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Getting on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now And this train is just too slow And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back |

I can't look at the rocket launch The trophy wives of the astronauts And I won't listen to their words 'Cause I like Birds I don't care for walkin' down town Crazy auto car gonna mow me down Look at all the people like cows in a herd Well I like Birds If you're small And on a search I've got a feeder for you to perch on I can't stand in line at the store The mean little people are such a bore But it's all right if you act like a turd 'Cause I like Birds If you're small And on a search I've got a feeder for you to perch on If you're small And on a search I've got a feeder for you to perch on I've got a feeder for you to perch on If you're small And on a search I've got a feeder for you to perch on I've got a feeder for you to perch on |

How can you tell me how much you miss me
When the last time I saw you, you wouldn't even kiss me That rich guy you've been seein' Must have put you down So welcome back baby To the poor side of town To him you were nothin' but a little plaything Not much more than an overnight fling To me you were the greatest thing this boy had ever found And girl it's hard to find nice things On the poor side of town I can't blame you for tryin' I'm tryin' to make it too I've got one little hang up baby I just can't make it without you So tell me, are you gonna stay now Will you stand by me girl all the way now With you by my side They can't keep us down Together we can make it baby From the poor side of town (So tell me how much you love me) (Come be near to me and say you need me now) Oh, with you by my side This world can't keep us down Together we can make it baby From the poor side of town |

Spunky don’t like her uniform It never fit so good Going back to the orphanage And the place where her garage once stood Well it’s a free-for-all Free-for-all, free-for-all It’s a free-for-all you and me And if you don’t like what they are telling you You can’t teach a blind man to see Well I can see Spunky looks good in her bright red wig Eating chocolate chip mint ice cream A cat named lola with a violent past Is balled-up asleep ’cross her knees And it’s a free-for-all Free-for-all, free-for-all It’s a free-for-all you and me One day the world will be ready for you And wonder how they didn’t see Spunky knows she can save the world In her own little way Turning in her old uniform ’cause you know it really didn’t pay ’cause it’s a free-for-all Free-for-all, free-for-all It’s a free-for-all you and me I’ll walk through the world with your name on my tongue And your picture etched on my screen |

I'm gonna tell you what you need to hear And i'm a little too late By three or four years And it may not make much sense Now that we are apart But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart You see i never thought enough of myself To realize that losing me could mean Something like the tears in your eyes And i want to tell you i'm sorry And it's too late to start But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart And it's christmas eve Years down the line Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better When you were mine And i have no way of knowing where you are But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't know what i was doing But i know what i have done |

You think you'll get under ol' monsieur's lid And try to imagine all the things that he did You don't know where i'm gonna go You don't know where i'll go I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live Wake up in the night and think of all the years Falling from the ceiling and covering your ears You don't know how you're gonna get out You don't know how you'll get out I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live Call up your best friend And tell him a lie You've got to be kidding I'm not really high I dont know where i'm gonna go I don't know where i'll go I'll go none too bravely Into the night I'm so tired of living The suicide life That ain't no reason to live |

Was i wrong about the world
It's a beautiful new place Where else could a creep like me Meet such a pretty face Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done Used to always feel like Wished that i was dressed better Never had a lot of luck Until i finally met her Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton Lifted off my shoulders now My losing streak is done Always felt like giving in To the feeling i can't win But i took it on the chin Now i'm finally cashing in Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done My losing streak is done I said my losing streak is done Did you hear me I said my losing streak is done |

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange I get up early in the morning No matter how disappointed I was With the day before It feels new I don't leave the house much I don't like being around people Makes me nervous and weird I don't like going to show either It's better for me to stay at home Some might think it means I hate people But that's not quite right I got a dog I take him for a walk And all the people like to say hello I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks I'm learning how to say hello Withou too much trouble I'm turning out just like my father Though I swore I never would Now I can say that I have love for him I never really understood What it must have been like for him Living inside his head I feel like hi's here with me now Even though he's dead It's not all good and it's not all bad Don't believe everything you read I'm the only one who knows what it's like So I thought I'd better tell you Before I leave So in the end I'd like to say That I'm a very thankful man I tried to make the most of my situation And enjoy what I had I knew true love and I knew passion And the difference between the two And I had some regrets But if I had to do it all again Well, it's something I'd like to do |
