I used to know a girl...
She had two pierced nipples And a black tattoo We?d drink that mexican beer We?d live on mexican food Yes, I wish I could go back Yes, back in time Esther used to be The kind of girl that you would Never leave She?d do anything To give me what I need for my disease She?d do anything I can hear them talking in the Real world But they don?t understand that I?m happy in hell With my heroin girl I am losing myself in a White-trash hell Lost inside a heroin girl They found her out in the fields About a mile from home Her face was warm from the sun But her body was cold I heard the policeman say Just another overdose ...just another overdose! Esther used to be The kind of lover you would Never leave She?d do anything to give me What I need For my disease She would do anything |

I see you roll your eyes, You know it makes me smile, You are like the sun to me, Bright as liquid fire, I feel so powerless, To hold you up above the world, You are quite a lot of trouble, Such a pretty little girl... Such a pretty little girl. You know I'm never home, I'm always miles and miles away, I feel I'm running out of time, To say the things I need ta say, Call you on the telephone, You will not talk to me, Yea you just don't understand...You are my everything. Anna, Anna Tell me what you want Tell me what you need Anna, Anna You are never alone You are never alone Hey yea yeah. Hey yea yeah.. Hey yea yeah... Anna, Anna Tell me what you want Tell me what you need Anna, Anna You are never alone You are never alone I like to watch you play, When you don't know I'm there, See you when you're sleeping and I, Reach out and touch your hair, I'm gonna make this world, Be just how you want it to be, Yea you just don't understand... You're my everything. Anna, Anna Tell me what you want Baby tell me what you need Anna, Anna You are never alone You are never alone Anna Anna Tell me what you want Tell me what you need Anna, Anna You are never alone Anna You are never alone Anna Oh, you are never alone Anna You are never alone Anna You are never alone Anna... |

You are a loser just like I was
You are a loser like the rest of your friends You're a loser in the worst way I think you're losing just to make up Yeah I've seen the light All around your face I see you dying in the highway I see you climbing up the hill I see your sunshine on your blonde hair I see you worshipping the thrill Yeah I've seen the light All around your face Yeah I've seen the light Shine in your eyes Yeah I've seen the light Light from another place Now I know its not real Yes I know it's not real... Yes I know it's not Yeah I've seen the light All around your face Yeah I've seen the light Shine in your eyes Yeah I've seen the light From another place Now I know it's not real... |

I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend
All bright-eyed and happy in pain I am dreaming of a Michigan girl See her come around Fall down, break & scatter everywhere... I close my eyes and I can see her waiting I am pleading for a Michigan dream girl I am pleading for a Michigan girl See her come around Big lie wrapped inside her little glove... I close my eyes and I can see her waiting patient for me I cover my ears I clear my mind She starts to fade... (I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend) She's starting to fade... (I am dreaming of a Michigan girl) I close my eyes I see her waiting oh so patient for me I cover my ears I close my mind She's starting to fade |

Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time Yeah, almost every time Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day Go on and press your face All up against the glass Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn Swing and missing all Almost every time I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975 Yeah, 1975 I see scratches and the idiot kids I watched them getting high Out in the cold blue sky Watch and wonder as the asphalt babies burned Dancing in the flame, laughing all of the while I'm not alive, 1975 I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind I'm not alive, 1975 Watch and wonder as they fade away... Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Sounds a lot like me Dull, damaged, and blind... Yeah, almost all of the time Dull, damaged, and blind... Whoa, 1975 I 'm not alive, 1975 I was not alive, 1975 I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind 1975 Watch and wonder as they fade away... |

Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turning down to avoid them when they call Strange words I heard a long long time ago I wish I could go back to the summer time I knew more than twenty years ago Can't lay between the sheets We lie underneath the maple tree Now I can't smile Lying in the grass with the wind around us As we smile and talk Listen to your Grandma Sing those country songs She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years We'd sit in the grass all summer Just to watch the autumn come around... I can't smile Now I live alone And you're so far away I call you once a year Just around the holidays I still see you in the night Lying above me in the grass... I can't smile Turn away from the pain you don't want Turning down to avoid them when they call I can't believe this letter That says you died I think I'm gonna go back to the house In North Carolina and lay in the backyard Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me Bury me... I can't smile |
