There was a girl back in my town
But I shouldn't bring up what I can't put down She was above reproach in every way One day I left the town I'm from And as hard as I tried she would not come along She left me alone in every way People are laughing and they're having such fun I wish it was happening to me This is the moonlight The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be? Now I'm alone and I'm at large What kind of fool puts me in charge? God, it's a lonely way I'm living these days There was a girl back in my town That I couldn't get over she won't come 'round You know she left me alone in every way People are laughing and they're having such fun I wish it was happening to me This is the moonlight The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be? This is the moonlight The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be? |

The hat on your head the ghosts before breakfast
The lump in your throat the name on her necklace She's certain she'll never be caught You can buy her things now but she'll never be bought The cat on her mind the ring in her tan-line The lowering lids the perfume is white wine She's certain her karma is good Glass houses won't burn but you know this would So take her inside she's your borrowed bride And you'll never guess how much she has not cried Life comes apart at the seams it seems Life comes apart at the seams It rings only once when you sit down to dinner You knew all was lost when she named you the winner You are certain of nothing at all Except that it's late but it's not the last call So take her inside she's your borrowed bride And you'll never guess how much she has not cried Life comes apart at the seams it seems Life comes apart at the seams it seems Life comes apart |

She's a singer and I'm a smoker
I'm dragging it up all my extra store She was singing and I was smoking Saving butts all I can afford I'm just smoking up what I got heavy into Dragged it up, coughed it up Sat up wondering where you gone to All for your return I drank, what wouldn't burn And called your name but you never came She's a singer and I'm a smoker I'm dragging it up all my extra store She was singing and I was smoking Saving butts all I can afford I'm just sitting up it's late, it's getting rough It's two o'clock, black and white Ceilings got no good advice All for your return I drank what wouldn't burn And called your name but you never came She's a singer and I'm a smoker I'm dragging it up all my extra store She was singing and I was smoking Saving butts all I can afford |

I turned my microwave on and I cooked my chicken ravioli
The last ten years of my life I've been feeling kind of lonely I don't do love, I don't do women named Hannah And I don't do red haired girls from Louisiana I'm suffering from a kind of indecision About what I'm going to watch on television And I'll dream tonight of dancing in Coahuila With a little brown haired girl and her tequila My mama always seems to sing the same song You'll never meet no decent girls at Dallas honky-tonks What she says is true with that I must agree 'Cause any girl worth having wouldn't have a thing to do with me And I'm suffering from a kind of indecision About what I'm going to watch on television And I'll dream tonight of dancing in Coahuila With a little brown haired girl and her tequila I'm sitting here just sucking on my cavity, cavity Thinking of the things you used to say to me tragedy And I'm suffering from a kind of indecision About a little brown haired girl, a little brown haired girl A little brown haired girl and her tequila |

These storms they gather forces unbeknownst to fools like me
They hide on the horizon too far gone to see I could have swore the heart you wore upon your sleeve was mine I could not see in front of me you were leaving I was blind Blinding sheets of rain that's what I'm blaming I must have been blind not to see that you would leave Now you are gone and the world is an ugly place And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain I love you, lost it's meaning to shipwrecked fools like me The rain is never ending there's no ships out to see We have not seen a good night since these thunderstorms rolled in I pray God please send them back and make me blind again Blinding sheets of rain that's what I'm blaming I must have been blind not to see that you would leave Now you are gone and the world is an ugly place And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain And I pray good Lord send more blinding sheets of rain |

To drink as if lovers of the ultra-familiar
Hover above her as she's checking you out Wander around her but never sleep with her Watch her though windows as she pours herself out You're scoring her shipwrecks with fiddles and dobios Laugh at the plainclothes police the crowd Carry her under like water, ether Spirit her off when the music's too loud And it's written all over the face of the daughter Of the mayor of Marble Falls When she winds up in Denton town Doing the Valium waltz Dream of the day when your memory is fickle Pine for a time when your mind is made up Wonder how long 'fore you're pear-shaped and wrinkled Wind up on window-sills all knotted up And it's written all over the face of the daughter Of the mayor of Marble Falls When she winds up in Denton town Doing the Valium waltz When she winds up in Denton town Doing the Valium waltz When she winds up in Denton town Doing the Valium waltz |

Time knows you're done
Time as you fall I'm in the middle, letters you've signed In your cursive, cursive style Going down tonight It's different for boys and girls I've got your number, I know who you are You're a satellite on the world And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down You didn't have the right To go so many a mile Ain't a good woman who rolls out of sight She could honestly stay a while So roll on as you like Yeah, roll in the sand like a stone I've got your number, I know who you were You were a satellite all alone And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down And I feel it slowing And I feel it slowing down And in the satellite rides a star And in the satellite rides a star And in the satellite rides a star |

Heaven I need a drug Her eyes are all but fized upon her coffee cup And looking down she tells you things are looking uo Take another slug Heaven I had a dream But now my life's a nightmare of efficiency She rattles off the things she never got for free Gearing up to scream I remember when I had you and you had so much promise then You promised me that you would never leave again To be broken you were made, Adelaide Heaven I need a rest I recognized the voices talking in my head I couldn't make out everything the voices said Loving you is a test I remember when I had you and you had so much promise then You promised me that you would never leave again To be broken you were made, Adelaide Heaven I need a drink They're paying me to do my thing They never specify what it is I should bring I'm right up on the brink I remember when I had you and you had so much promise then You promised me that you would never leave again To be broken you were made, Adelaide I remember when I had you and you had so much promise then You promised me that you would never leave again To be broken you were made, Adelaide To be broken you were made, Adelaide To be broken |

I was a debater
Was not a stoner or an inline skater Was not a player or a player hater I was just a bookworm on a respirator Who's to say that's wrong? I was in the chess club Didn't have a swimming pool much less a true love Didn't have a dalliance much less a hot tub I was just a brain whose brain never let up Who's to say that's wrong? The twelve years after five are years we're lucky to survive Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Went out for the football team Found out the hard way that you can't live your dad's dream Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine Then I found a guitar and the rest's a fanzine Who's to say that's wrong? The moral of the song is that the high school kids are wrong You know they have been all along come graduation day, you'll be gone Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away The moral of the song is that the high school kids are wrong You know they have been all along, come graduation, you'll be gone Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away Hang in there friends forever, in memory far away In memory far away |
