I bet you fall in bed too easily
With those beautiful girls who are shyly brave And you sell yourself as a man to save But all the money in the world is not enough I bet you've long since passed understanding What it takes to be satisfied You're like a vine that keeps climbing higher But all the money in the world is not enough And all the bridges blown away keep floating up It's cold And rough And I kept standing six-feet-one Instead of five-feet-two And I loved my life And I hated you Yeah It's cold out there And rough And I kept standing six-feet-one Instead of five-feet-two And I loved my life And I hated you |

Help me Mary please.
I've lost my home to your thieves They bully the stereo and drink They leave suspicious things in the sink They make rude remarks about me They wonder just how wild I would be As they egg me on and keep me mad They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that I lock my door at night I keep my mouth shut tight I practice all my moves I memorize their stupid rules I make myself their friend I show them just how far I can bend As they egg me on and keep me mad They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that I'm asking, will you, Mary, please Temper my hatred with peace Weave my disgust into fame And watch how fast they run to the flame |

He's got a really big tongue
It rolls way out Snaking around in the club It slicks you down Scratching his face like a bum He pulls you back Circa nineteen eighty-one He pulls you back You are, you are, shining some glory You are, you are, shining some glory On me, on me You are, you are, shining some glory You are, you are, shining some glory on me |

Johnny my love, get out of the business
It makes me wanna rough you up so badly Makes me wanna roll you up in plastic Toss you up and pump you full of lead Johhny my love, get out of the business The odds are getting fatter by the minute That I have got a bright and shiny platter And I am gonna get your heavy head I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring You can rent me by the hour I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing Entertainers bring May flowers So Johnny my love We got us a witness Now all we gotta do is get a preacher He can probably skip the "until death" part 'Cause Johnny my love you're already dead I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring You can rent me by the hour I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing Entertainers bring May flowers May flowers, May flowers, (To You) |

He's just a hero
In a long line of heroes Looking for something attractive to save They say he rode in On the back of a pickup And he won't leave town 'til you remember his name He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for some lonely billboard to grace They say he sprung from the skull of Athena Think about your own head And the headache he gave He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for action at a price he can pay They say he's famous But no one can prove it Make him an offer just to see what he'll say Check out the dashboard lights Glowing all green and white He feels safe in the dark He wears his bluejeans tight He's just a hero In a long line of heroes Looking for something attractive to save They say he rode in On the back of a pickup And he won't leave town 'Til you remember his name Check out the thinning hair Check out the aftershave Check out America You're looking at it babe |

You said things I wouldn't say
Straight to my face, boy You tossed the egg up And I found my hands in place, boy After backing up as far as you could get Don't you know nobody parts two rivers met Don't you know I'm very happy You know me well I'm even happier I like it I like it With all of the time in the world to spend it Wild and unwise I wanna be mesmerizing too Mesmerizing too Mesmerizing to you With all of the time in the world to spend it Wild and unwise I wanna be mesmerizing too Mesmerizing too Mesmerizing to you |

I woke up alarmed
I didn't know where I was at first Just that I woke up in your arms And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions And whatever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who tries to win you over And whatever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who makes love 'cause he's in it And I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend I want all that stupid old shit Like letters and sodas Letters and sodas You got up out of bed You said you had a lot of work to do But I heard the rest in your head And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions And I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend I want all that stupid old shit Like letters and sodas Letters and sodas I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend another year alone It's fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was 17 Fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was 12 You almost felt bad You said that I should call you up But I knew much better than that And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions And I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend my whole life alone It's fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was 17 Fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was 12 |

And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night, and we'd been driving since noon But if I'd known how that would sound to you I would have stayed in your bed for the rest of my life Just to prove I was right: That it's harder to be friends than lovers And you shouldn't try to mix the two 'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy Then you know that the problem is you. And it's true that I stole your lighter And it's also true that I lost the map But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to I had to take your word on that But if you'd known how that would sound to me You would have taken it back, And boxed it up and buried it in the ground Boxed it up and buried it in the ground Boxed it up and buried it in the ground Burned it up and thrown it away You put in my hand a loaded gun And then told me not to fire it When you did the things that you said were up to me And then accused me of trying to fuck it up But you've never been a waste of my time It's never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you'll be all right And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am But you've never been a waste of my time It's never been a drag So take a deep breath and count back from ten And maybe you'll be all right. |

I know that I don't always realize
How sleazy it is Messing with these guys But something about just being with you Slapped me right in the face Nearly broke me in two It's a mark I've taken hard And I know I will carry with me for a long long time I don't know if I could drive a car Fast enough to get to where you are or wild enough not to miss the boat completely Honey, I'm thinking maybe You know just maybe I don't know if I could fly a plane Well enough to tail spin out your name Or high enough to lose control completely Honey, I'm thinking maybe You know just maybe, maybe |

You took the car
It was my favorite one Little white Dart And drove it to Idaho You took the horse It was a thoroughbred Saddled it up Out on the interstate You killed the cat Put it in antifreeze Dumped in the trunk With the rest of the cattlefeed You took the house You went and changed the locks Now I am stuck Living out of a box I think I've been taken For everything I own I've been hurt so badly I'm alone, baby, I'm alone You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You left me nothing You left me nothing Johnny Sunshine You left me nothing You left me nothing |

I was flying into Chicago at night
Watching the lake turn the sky into blue-green smoke The sun was setting to the left of the plane And the cabin was filled with an unearthly glow In 27D, I was behind the wing Watching landscape roll out Like credits on a screen The earth looked like it was lit from within Like a poorly assembled electrical ball As we moved out of the farmlands, into the grid The plan of a city was all that you saw And all of these people sitting totally still As the ground raced beneath them thirty thousand feet down It took an hour Maybe a day But once I really listened The noise just went away And I was pretending that I was in a Galaxie 500 video The stewardess came back and checked on my drink In the last strings of sunlight, a Brigitte Bardot 'Cause I had on my headphones Along with those eyes That you get when your circumstance is movie-size It took an hour Maybe a day But once I really listened The noise just went away It took an hour Maybe a day But once I really listened The noise just went away But once I really listened The noise just fell away |

The fire you like so much in me
Is the mark of someone adamantly free But you can't stop yourself from wanting worse 'Cause nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst Baby I'm tired of fighting I always wanted you I broke up at the roadhouse I wouldn't know you were alive You haven't seen me for weeks now It wouldn't shock you if I drove right out through the back of your eyes I can't be trusted They're saying I can't be true But I only wanted more than I knew Baby I'm tired of fighting I always wanted you I only wanted more than I knew |
