They made up their minds
And they started packing They left before the sun came up that day An exit to eternal summer slacking But where were they going Without ever knowing the way They drank up the wine And they got to talking They now had more important things to say And when the car broke down They started walking Where were they going without ever knowing the way * Anyone could see The road that they walk on is paved in gold And It's always summer, they'll never get cold They'll Never get hungry They'll never get old and gray You can see their shadows Wandering off somewhere They won't make it home But they really don't care They wanted the highway They're happy there today, today The children woke up And they couldn't find 'em They Left before the sun came up that day They just drove off And left it all behind 'em But Where were they going Without ever knowing the way * Repeat |

Well I don't wanna be President
Superman or Clark Kent I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes 'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on I don't know my right from wrong I don't know where I'm going to I don't know about you I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape And I may not be the man you want me to I can be myself, how 'bout you? I don't wanna make you mad I don't wanna meet your dad I don't wanna be your dream come true 'Cause I don't know just what I've found I don't know my sky from ground I don't know where I'm going to I don't know about you I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape And I may not be the man you want me to I can be myself, how 'bout you I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape And I may not be the man you want me to I can be myself, how 'bout you? I can be myself, how 'bout you? I can be myself How 'bout you? |

Once I had it all planned out
My dirty fingers moved about To make a mess of everything around me I don't claim to know my way I still run in circles every day Running around half blind Life can be unkind But it's better than it was I complain very little because It's better than it was I get to remembering We had alot more money then To make a mess of everything around us Now the money comes and goes a bit faster Than my confidence grows Everybody knows There ain't nothing new about money woes It's better than we ever could have Wished it to before It was bad a while ago Better than this I know It's better than it was |

Where did you leave your baby
Bleeding in her bed Her ghost has come to stay Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away In the bar we sit like blackbirds With our broken wings Like clocks without their springs Just like time doesn't mean anything Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here We used to ride around in a broken down old car But now I'm changing trains Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between Mom and Dad are fast asleep now But I'll be wide awake A surfer in the break Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave And a place in the shade Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here You better get it now while The getting's good Get it now while it's happening You better get it now while The getting's good Get it now while it's happening Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here Won't you tell me Which way to the top? You know that I can't stay Down here |

I got a warm fuzzy feeling
When I saw you on TV You were wearing a piece of me And it breaks my heart to look around And see the unimpressed Who can't believe the emperor is dressed Turn on my TV I want to check some action If you got no video Well then folks don't wanna know But with you up there to light the way I can wear a smile as I survey The faces in the dark Waiting for you to hit one out of the park We notice every tiny little detail Every word we read we'll take to heart But we never really understand Until we realize There are no lies When you see that look in their eyes What are we gonna use to fill the empty space When you see her in the crowd... Will you make your mama proud? She can turn around and see the faces Staring at her son Climbing his way up to #1 |

Slow drag off a cigarette
Slow drag and I'm lying in my bed All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight I wanna lay you down In the ground. Alright. Slow drag and I can't get up now Slow drag. You've been messing with my mind All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight I wanna see you dead Laying in the muddy ground You're nothing to me Nothing to me Nothing to me no more All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight I wanna see you dead Laying in the muddy ground You're nothing to me Nothing to me Nothing to me no more |

I've been thinking about the good old days
Decorated in a candy glaze Each pretty ink blot panel Tells a different tale Each photo on the mantle Sweet memories that will never go stale I've been climbing up the walls again Living with a memory that might have been So pick me up on a weekday night We could get together and ride around in The black and white I've been thinking about the good old days My silly clothes and my silly ways Each drunken drugstore purchase Each chemical advance Seven days a weekend Every day the same old dizzy dance |

Living to get his freak on
Sporting his leopard skin thong Charlie the Methadone Man Plays Sunday nights in a rock and roll band Charlie the methadone, the methadone man Patience - the name of the game Waiting on Dr. Kinkaid Charlie the Methadone Man Fills out the papers just as fast as he can Charlie the methadone, the methadone man When you're all alone And you got nowhere to go Better take it slow Oh you get so tired of where you are Kicking his lonely lit brain Drinking to try and stay sane Charlie the Methadone Man Chases his tail just as fast as he can Charlie the methadone, the methadone man Kicking... |

Sometimes I feel
Like I am drunk behind the wheel The wheel of possibility However it may roll Give it a spin See if you can sonehow factor in You know theres always more than one way To say exactly what you mean to say *CHORUS* Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication It was hard to find Don't matter what I say only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you So quiet but I finally woke uo If your sad then its time you spoke up too |

Try to stop the world spinning 'round
My phone bill will tell you she lives out of town It's been a long long time but still I dream Of warm sunny days on 12th and Lorraine I wish you were here right now....but then I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you alone I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you along The ground moved under me I pushed her away with the things I'd say God's face grew Earthquake size And I can't cross our great divide I wanna live inside....but then I know I should just leave you alone I should just leave you alone |

There's trouble on the subway
There's something on the track There's a dead end waiting and We can't go back So take it to the highway Head back and open wide Step right up and take a nowhere ride Chorus: It's a nowhere road It's a nowhere road No matter where it goes it's a Nowhere road It's a nowhere road and I'm tired It's a nowhere job and I'm fired It don't matter what they say You can't get there going this way From L.A. to Miami And all points in between Look outside you get the same old scene You take it to the highway You travel far and wide Caterpillars carving up the country side Chorus It's a nowhere road and I'm tired Repeat |

It ain't as easy as it looks
To grow flowers in the dirt All my friends are living underground Put away your wedding ring Out on highway 63 Let all your worries Take their place in line They love to tear you down Living in this sweet soul town Fall into the sound A place to hide and room to move My electric boogaloo Don't you worry The circus is in town They love to tear you down Living in this sweet soul town Fall into the sound |
