I seem to think I think I got a little situation
So listen to me, sister, listen, maybe you can help I think I give a lot of problems my consideration But not for me, they always seem to be for someone else Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation? What do I get from any focus on anything at all? I'm like a trash can holding all the information And every single time I'm in the field to be taught Salute your solution, now, salute your solution I find myself just looking well beyond my best intentions Ignoring any kinda prize I might receive at all All others seem to find a road that's tough to satisfaction I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all And if there's one little answer to this complication Someone, somewhere help me settle what is on my mind There's only one I'm only taking, getting and receiving There's only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one And I got what I got all despite you And I give what I get just to spite you And I got what I got all despite you And I give what I get just to spite you And I got what I got all despite you And I give what I get just to spite you I find myself just looking worthy of my best intentions Ignoring any kinda prize I might receive at all And all the others seem to find myself a satisfaction I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all But if there's one little answer to this complication Someone, somewhere some help me settle what is on my mind There's only one I'm only taking, getting and receiving There's only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one I'm taking And only one |

You don`t understand me
But if the feeling was right You might comprehend me And why do you feel the need to tease me Why don`t you turn it around It might be easier to please me And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true What do you think that you are doing Who is the fool, the fool Or the fool that you are fooling Fool that you are fooling And maybe I just don`t see the reason reason But in the court of my heart Your ignorance is treason And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true You think you know how I feel It`s not that big of a deal There`s no such thing, it`s not real You don`t understand me But if the feeling was right You might comprehend me And I don`t claim to understand you But I`ve been looking around And I haven`t found anybody like you And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true |

Well, do you? I was naive just like you I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do Well, what you gonna do? What a fool And how've you gotten by so far Without a head and no visible scar? No one knowing who you really are They can't see What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) What you gonna do now? What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) What you gonna do now? What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) What you gonna do now? What you gonna do? (What you gonna do?) What you gonna do now? What you gonna do now?

In the heat of the desert sun
On the blistering trail An appaloosa and A wanted man sprung from jail Slow in motion and shadowless The switch and the spurs Every living thing with a fatal sting Bark and rattle this curse The rider hallucinates The snapping hooves on the sand Spits a venom dream, recalls a stranger scream And a broken hand The saddle spotted with sweat and blood The poison pumps through his veins There's no stopping this and now he's powerless Still holding the reigns Any poor souls who trespass against us Whether it be beast or man Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight By those who inhabit this land For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom As sure as the sun does burn So enter this path but heed these four words You shall never return Any poor souls who trespass against us Whether it be beast or man Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight By those who inhabit this land For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom As sure as the sun does burn So enter this path but heed these four words You shall never return |

Pull this blanket off of me
Maybe it'll help me see The things I believe to be true I'm paying for what should be free But I don't buy what they're telling me And I wanna believe in you It's hard sticking to your guns Everyone's having fun Makes me wanna run, I don't know what to do Not everything is what it seems Maybe these boys don't have dreams I can't blame 'em, some dreams are worse than the truth |

Well, you've impressed me so completely
I start obsessing to hear from you Whatever you do, you do sweetly It takes a lot to not take from you You're not secure enough to tell me Your first impression of all these clowns So you'll be tricky enough to compel me To take the lead and to speak out loud Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go And if you find yourself repeating Some of those incoherent sounds Just talking to yourself is cheating You might as well stick your head in the ground Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go I feel compelled to just yell out for you To say the words that you can't bring out But I cannot do everything for you And if I don't, then these stones will shout Yeah, if I don't, then these stones will shout Well, if I don't, then these stones will shout (If I don't, then these stones will shout) So if I were to just lay in silence (If I don't, then these stones will shout) And see if you would take control (If I don't, then these stones will shout) The stones below me would make me combat them (If I don't, then these stones will shout) And they would wrestle me, pester me, mess with me (If I don't, then these stones will shout) Just trying to free your soul Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Speak to me and don't speak softly Talk to me and let me know Grab hold of my shoulder and tell me Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go Grab hold and do not let go |

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
But I'm going to tell it again So many other people try to tell the tale Not one of them knows the end It was a junk-house in South Carolina Held a boy the age of ten Along with his older brother Billy And their mother and her boyfriend Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos That were given to him when he was young And a drunk temper that was easy to lose And thank God he didn't own a gun Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck Took a minute to open his eyes He took a peep into the back of the house And found himself a big surprise He didn't see his brother, but there was his mother With her red-headed head in her hands While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest Trying to choke the man Billy looked up from the window to the truck Threw up and had to struggle to stand He saw that rednecked bastard with a hammer Turn the priest into a shell of a man The priest was putting up the fight of his life But he was old and he was bound to lose The boyfriend hit as hard as he could And knocked the priest right down to his shoes Well, now Billy knew but never actually met The preacher lying there in the room He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy" Then he knew what he was gonna do Billy got up enough courage to get up And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find It was a cold glass bottle of milk That got delivered every morning at nine Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and He turned around and put the lock on the door He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then He took a step toward the man on the ground From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out" And Billy said, "Not 'til I know what this is all about" "Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama" But Billy knew just who was starting the drama So Billy took dead aim at his face And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the Boyfriend fell down dead for good Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?" His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and Pulled out an envelope filled with money "Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears "He's been paying all the bills for years" "Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee" Just then, his little brother came in Holding the milkman's hat and a bottle of gin, singing La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la, la la la La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la, la la la La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la Well, now you heard another side to the story But you wanna know how it ends? If you must know the truth about the tale Go and ask the milkman |
