I don't feel the suns comin' out today
Its staying in, its gonna find another way. As I sit here in this misery, I don't Think I'll ever see the sun from here. And oh as I fade away, They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say, Hey look at him! I'll never live that way. But that's okay They're just afraid to change. When you feel your life ain't worth living You've got to stand up and Take a look around you then a look way up to the sky. And when your deepest thoughts are broken, Keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die. And as we all play parts of tomorrow, Some ways will work and other ways we'll play. But I know we all can't stay here forever, So I want to write my words on the face of today. And then they'll paint it And oh as I fade away, They'll all look at me and they'll say, Hey look at him and where he is these days. When life is hard, you have to change. |

Come now and listen babe
I gotta reason why I behave Like a child with a light in eyes Running naked on a cold winter night I am like a pigeon that is spreading It's wings to fly away to better things Like a hammer that has made A dent in every little single cent you've spent Said oh God you've got to help me a little bit You've got to have a relief file for me Now I know I'm always right, that's a Thought that never even crossed my mind Don't touch me there, I've gotta be pure So smack that hand, and read this verse So I wrecked your life, what the heck My new found faith will pay by check This life's took a toll on my soul So this is me and that's my song And I guess that you can see that we don't get along I've shut the doors on what we had So now she can sleep with her Dear ol' Dad My eyes are dry and my hands are clean And I can't believe all the things I've seen Oh My God! |

Grab my knee and look at me
And try to tell me I'll be home soon Asleep in my bed and unstoned I'm tired of me this way I don't know what I've gotten into But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner This desert heat has crowded me strong With a wish I had for winter It's not as gentle as it sounds As though it sounded yesterday When I heard a leaf of my life hit the ground And as a bottle cap flew from my fingers I don't know what I've gotten in to But I'm glad it's now instead of sooner This desert heat has crowded me strong With a wish I had for winter ..And the sands blew in my eyes I stood on the edge and looked down to see The light of a new life, shinning up on me ...With a wish that I had The sand blew in my eyes |

His feet are dirty
And his face, his face is long And while he's peeking out Through his hair he hides the pain Till that Lennon song comes along He'll turn it off and say can you drive? Jimmy, we need to borrow this for a minute Cause we need to escape Now there's so many things that He's gonna do in 5 lifetimes Hell I could do 'em all Yeah and while he's rolling his own smokes He says to me he's buying a new ride today A classic deal the boss will give He said the same thing two weeks ago You've seen that sweaty jet rag Feeling come over him, and I've Seen that boy nod into a dream a time or two And on his way out his glazed stare Will make you stop and wonder Hey William is that the last time I'm gonna look at you? But the next day phone will ring And it will be him Can you drive? Jimmy, what would you say What would you do Oh should I pray? Or do you think that this blind mind Would listen to me, anyway |

I was born on the banks off a hot muddy river
The child of one stupid steamy night Born to roam beneath the sun What do you think of me, I'm better left alone I met a Holyman that said that he knew the way And he'd like to show me so my life won't go astray Take my hand child now little boy don't you be afraid I'll take your soul and walk on water Holyman, ya don't understand The cuts on me they run much deeper Holyman, you righteous man I've been shown the way a thousand times Not one a keeper Older man he said I'll tell you boy You've planted rotten seeds And in a land of happiness They'll grow us evil trees Guided minds, and eyes that will never see Holyman I'll tell you Just what it is that I believe Holyman I tell you man you gotta Believe in what you see Cause its you that corrupt us man and Deep throat philosophy I don't need your spells or the little Games you try to pull on me Come to think of it I don't need your religion Gotta get away I wish you would understand Everybody prays Let me find my own way |

All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie Scratching claw and grip the rails Every day my living hell Oh God you know I've tried I know how hard I tried and oh I tried...... Hey I'd like to daze away to a Place like no one has known In a state of mind I could call mine That only I could own Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose, and then there is no such thing as time Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane What a place for one to find Now you see I'm watching everything I do and they're watching everything I say Why wont they leave me be? Why am I even here? I wonder You leave me wondering Won't you stop watching me I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes Arms holding up my knees And rocking back and forth my life I didn't mean to feel this way When I walked into the door, Lord Then they ripped away my memories And I cant remember who I was before. And I only wanted to be 16 and free. ......and I wonder. |

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view But it's not sane, It's not sane I just want some one to say to me I'll always be there when you wake Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that there's no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape Escape......escape......escape...... All I can say is that my life is pretty plain Ya don't like my point of view Ya think I'm insane Its not sane......it's not sane. |

Then look in my eyes I've been lots of places Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me Honestly. |

As I shit, I sit and wonder why
My floor is so cold and my back broken tired But life is good, even though it won't be long With a candle comes emotions that Dance with the shadows on my wall What were you thoughts, as they Were flying through your mind Compared to what you feel from The bars your now behind If they could speak, what do you think They would say to you? I do believe you'd been better Off if you'd just told the truth Never had a problem Till I stood face to face with me And I wish there was a way For me to go inside so I could see All the faces of the people Who have torn a piece of me As I grew from a seed to a tree Can you feel the power of the eye That's hidden away 5 feet from where we lie What do you taste, when you take a drink of me Is it to much for me to ask If I asked you to leave Please just leave 'cause I want to be alone There's a fine line Between love and my feelings for you High time I washed it all away Unkind, I watch your future burn before you Denied, a chance of any love in your life And I ask you one time..Why? |

No time frame, for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house. I think I'm gonna play With free livin' lads down the street aways away As I feel the moon rise The time that all feels is the right time Here in our sleepy house As I wipe eye bugs away, The candle flickers at me to say And in my head I sometimes pray Hey aren't ya feeling fine As I was as a little child And I'm feeling better when I'm high With a red light shinning on a little unity The mistakes that I've made No they don't seem to bother me I sure as hell don't feel like I missed any kind of train If I could only show you how I feel Then you wouldn't bother me And then maybe you'd see Why we don't mind being blind As I was as a little child And I'm feeling better when I'm high With a red light shinning on a little unity I'll probably be in a little while. |

I've got to buy some shoes
These ones are getting loose My feet are shrinking in the sun, and it ain't fun But it looks like rain up ahead in forty miles. A big rainbow took the blue sky...... I'm gonna tell my momma, I love her so And thank you for giving me these bones o' gold I'm gonna run from my home Jump in the river and let the Water soak the sin in my soul. Fine time we all crossed lines Make the music that makes us feel fine Rednecks on sun decks hearing a hillside Romeo say "Boys this is the good shit, So come on all and eat a little bit." And if I ever go back home, I'm gonna set...... Don't even say a word, it confuses me. What he says to do, is that we don't have to. We don't have to. |

Said all these people they won't leave me alone
And we need, a little time to ourselves And half the reasons why I'm sketchin' all the time The result of a life in this hell But oh well, I think it's time My faith is falling like the leaves from a tree The pockets both take it away The sun warms my body as I'm Sittin' on a swing watching Columbus clouds bring in the rain Oh well I think it's time Its time to go My mind is playing tricks on me all the time To let you know that I am real And all the worries you build Up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still Mean you can feel, that it's time to go.. Are you fed up, Are you fed up with me? Do you think you could do better? Do you think that I know better? Do they think that they know better? Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king Blood red sunshine, and a breath to air that's clean I drink from the faucet From the porch I take a pee I look at you through the bushes Where you can't see me I laugh and slip into another state of mind To let you know that I am real And all the worries you build up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still Means you can feel, that it's time to go |

What do you think they would say
If I stood up and I walked away Nobody here really understand me and so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine Tones of home said you don't know the way I'm living you don't like me Tones of home, tones of home And so I'll wave goodbye. I'm flyin' I'm flyin' home And I always thought this would be the land of milk and honey Oh but I came to find out that it's all hate and money And there's a canopy of greed holding me down. See I'm so High to you, so I'll fade away I said your on your own Your Mom and Daddy said , that your sister said, and your brothers saying Everybody is saying Everybody, is saying I, eye God I gotta go!! All my friends patronize me and They say YO Hey Boy! Have you found what your looking for. It seems they don't really know me Cause it's here and its what they can't see. |

What do you think they would say
If I stood up, and I walked away Nobody here really understands me And so I wave goodbye, I'm fine I'm fine... Tones of home Said you don't like the way I'm living You don't like me Tones of home, tones of home And so I wave goodbye I'm flyin', I'm flyin' home And I always thought this would be See the land of milk and honey Oh but I come to find out that it's all hate and money And there's a canopy of greed holding me down Chorus See I'm so high to you, so I'll fade away I said you're on your own Your mom and daddy said That you sister said And you brother's saying everybody Is saying everybody Is saying I, eye, god I gotta go! All my friends patronize me They say yo hey boy! Have you found what you're looking for? It seems they don't really know me Cause it's here, and it's what they can't see... Chorus |

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,
And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along There is no doubt about the words are clear, The voice is strong, is oh so strong I'm just a simple guy, I live from day to day A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away, There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love, All I need from you is all your love, All you got to give to me is all your love I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am, I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man, One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride, People go and people come, see my rider right by my side, It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race And the best thing I can do is run |

Deep inside must defy arrangement I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving Should I teach one not to know how?

I like watchin the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view but itts not sane, its not sane I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made And I don't understand why I sleep all day And I start to complain that theres no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake It rips my life away but its a great escape...escape...escape All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view Ya think that I'm insane Its not sane... its not sane I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made |

Said all these people they won't leave me alone
And we need, a little time to ourselves And half the reasons why I'm sketchin' all the time The result of a life in this hell But oh well, I think it's time My faith is falling like the leaves from a tree The pockets both take it away The sun warms my body as I'm sittin' on a swing watching Columbus clouds bring in the rain Oh well I think it's time Its time to go * - My mind is playing tricks on me all the time To let you know that I am real And all the worries you build up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still Mean you can feel, that it's time to go.. Are you fed up, Are you fed up with me? Do you think you could do better? Five fed up faces with the itch to kill a king Blood red sunshine, and a breath to air that's clean I drink from the faucet, from the porch I take a pee I look at you through the bushes where you can't see me * - I laugh and slip into another state of mind To let you know that I am real And all the worries you build up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still Means you can feel, that it's time to go |

Toes Across The Floor
by Blind Melon Doesn't anybody feel That all these killers should be killed And all these healers should be healed So all these beggers can be filled Now tell me why am I to lie If I'm holding firm and feel the right to lie down beside this dog of mine And let that perverted though really run through my mind I'd scrape my toes across the floor This day's the same as those before And though inside I'm feeling giddy Always wrong for never giving myself an uninvaded door So now I'll take a little glue I'll put together a new glittered room for you So I can start sitting so pretty Instead of sitting here not seein' clear Just sitting here not fittin' here No things ain't fittin' here I'll just lay my head down beside this God of mine And let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind And if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine Maybe the Hunter's dog called God Could be my friend in time |

What do you think they would say
If I stood up, and I walked away Nobody here really understands me And so I wave goodbye, I'm fine I'm fine... Tones of home Said you don't like the way I'm living You don't like me Tones of home, tones of home And so I wave goodbye I'm flyin', I'm flyin' home And I always thought this would be See the land of milk and honey Oh but I come to find out that it's all hate and money And there's a canopy of greed holding me down Chorus See I'm so high to you, so I'll fade away I said you're on your own Your mom and daddy said That you sister said And you brother's saying everybody Is saying everybody Is saying I, eye, god I gotta go! All my friends patronize me They say yo hey boy! Have you found what you're looking for? It seems they don't really know me Cause it's here, and it's what they can't see... Chorus |

Find myself singing the same songs everyday
Ones that make me feel good When things behind the smiles ain't ok Around and over and in-between the seas I need to be on top of a mountain Where I can be see everything Cause this paranoia's getting old Now as I open my eyes to start another day I'm in a pile of puke Empty bag of excuses My love for friends and family you know I need them And under a sun that's seen it all before My feet are so cold And I can't believe that I have to bang my Head against this wall again But the blows they have just a little more Space in-between them Gonna take a breath and try again. |

You should have jumped a couple of cars before Now if I may I'll walk away I'm selling Silly Putty door to door And up on the shelf it seems to help If I can keep a little bit of disease As its feeding on me You see it's bringing me to my knees As we all wilt Watching you wilt Come right away and help me bathe away The filthy feeling, frigid and cold Biting my nails to the fairy tales About the magic monkey's total control See I got Indian Ken and his fleabag friends With their buckets full of elephant ears And he's breathing on me His breath is bringing me to my knees As we all wilt Watching you wilt Pea green the feeling |

You're fooling no one but yourself You finally made it to your own hell It took the bottom to shake your will You forgot to love and forgot to feel They locked you up, you're scratching the ceiling You're down on your knees, you're praying for something You're looking real high, lying to live for What do you do and where do you go now? I know a place for you to hide The past catches up with you one day And stares you in the face and takes you away The blindness always seems to win And one day you will wake up with nothing to give You've been strung out for awhile I know that you know that we know you know You're living a story that's already been made You're burning the pages that you keep fading The more you keep hiding the more we keep fighting The less you keep trying, the sooner you're dying The more that you give up, the more that you give back The cleaner that you get, the sweeter that life is The sooner that you know, the sooner the shit flows (Ooh) Ya got to give it up now (Ooh) Ya gotta let it rest (Ooh) The time is right now (Ooh) You know it's right It's time that you tear down that wall inside The past catches up with you one day And stares you in the face and takes you away The blindness always seems to win Then one day you will wake up with nothing to give Ooh, nothin' to Ooh, nothin' to give, no You never think it will ever turn out the way it does when you start out The past catches up with you one day And stares you in the face and takes you away The blindness always seems to win And one day you will wake up with nothing to give Lah, lah, lah-da, lah-da-da Please forgive me Please forgive me Please forgive me, oh |

They're making love, they're growing up They made a pact to circle us Have you heard about the snake? He figured that he'd shed his skin Slide away, again begin It's easier to retreat than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay Do you think you look like hell? It's hard to hug you from a shell Give it up for the snail It's not easy for the bees They pack a knife to the job They try to keep from getting home It's easier to retreat than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay The human heart is there to crush Father time looks over us You'll miss it all if you rush Did you listen to the dust? It waits around without a sound To gather us so listen It's easier to retreat than to face yourself And let things fall in place There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay It's easier to retreat than to face yourself There's no words to describe the way I feel today But I still feel okay |

You wouldn't have to worry anymore Throw all your scars in the ocean.

Where are you now? Where are you now?

I've got peace on my mind with a pistol full of insistence
Enough blood to fill an egg But does it make a difference Tolerance was the sermon, no matter how dubious The fundamental thinking just turned so malicious There's a few people spinning gold Some just try to save their soul But I wonder what to do Money, bills and secret guns I know I can't help everyone But I can take on one or two That's what I'll do I've got to pick a God, so many of them to witness Did I follow the right one; does it make a difference? Inside there's a substance few hold my penance The whole world has gone mad, but can I make a difference? There's a few people spinning gold Some just try to save their soul But I wonder what to do Money, bills and secret guns I know I can't help everyone But I can take on one or two That's what I'll do It's beautiful in the world It's beautiful in the world There's a few people spinning gold Some just try to save their soul But I wonder what to do Money, bills and secret guns I know I can't help everyone But I can take on one or two That's what I'll do |

You try to spot them out but they all hide Oh well, I'm standing on a tower of endless thinking Oh, would you like to have a thought with me? Ooh and the world seems like One big buzz of peace We'll be floating on below What would it take for me to find a way to survive A cut so deep it shows the other side I could die in the sky And leave this world behind I'd get so high Live free And the world seems like one big buzz of peace We'll be floating on the love If Lennon was here he would sing this part If Lennon was here he would sing this part |

There's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world
Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell Oh, when everything goes your way, you still feel abandoned Sometimes, nothing's better than something Sometimes, you're better off lonely Why is it when times are good, everyone sticks around But when things start to go the other way, They split and forget you? My own philosophy has been good to me I try to stay to myself and don't get caught in the shit storm Sometimes, nothing's better than something Sometimes, you're better off lonely And my airplane is taking off slowly Most of the time I really don't mind It's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it I still worry if you're ok I still wonder if you're the same? Remember when times were good and so simple-minded And then somewhere along the way we lost all connections When you strip away all that's left is a guilty conscience If I took a guess, I would bet you think this song is about you Don't you, don't you, don't you Sometimes, nothing's better than something Sometimes, you're better off lonely My heart is stranded and frozen And my airplane is taking off slowly Most of the time I really don't mind It's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it I still worry if you're okay I still wonder if you're the same? |
