When I was down she was full of advice
'Cause she'd been there once or twice With a ring on the side of her nose Wearing other people's clothes She had her highs and she had her lows In between she'd show When she smiled everything else died V let off a good vibe * As if in a dream The one and only V As if in a dream The one and only V Buying shots and breaking hearts She used to wait on us down at the bar Never took as much as she gave She's still giving to this day Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat Staying up half the night Mood swing yet we cried On a cold December day V up and went away *Repeat |

Wasn't much of a union
Denial and confusion Meant something to you, I bet you would have stayed Stumbled on some good times Turned them into land mines You know you can turn the other way You say you've been meaning To sort through all your demons If there's some room, are you gonna let me in? You've been hung dry by your close friends Your inner child's an orphan You're so far down, you don't know where you been So many things you don't know If you want me to leave, just say so * It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated So ill fated Goodbye with reservations Regrets and salutations Something in there somewhere that I didn't say It's you I think of only Whenever you get lonely an' I got more than years to give away I've been dying to start living You're just living to be dying We can't seem to find no common ground You hate me when I'm lonely I'm lonely when you hate me Mostly I'm just there to kick around Soaring high and low First to leave, last to know *Repeat It's the kind of thing I like Curse cast in the night So ill fated |

As I walk along and stumble
Trains rumble in my head As I breeze along and grumble Think about you instead And a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Sometimes I get so hungry Think about pie all day Just a little whipped cream Honey, I'm on my way With a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Just a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you Now, don't you call me key lime You are the apple of my eye Don't you know I'll be fine Whenever you're by my side With a piece of pecan pie And you that's all I want Just a piece of pecan pie And all I want is you All I want is you (*4) |

Yesterday is just the day before today
Sat and watched it, watched it slide away Yesterday cried. Oh, yesterday cried Looking at me through those tiny eyes Why did you do it, why'd you have to lie Yesterday cried. Oh, yesterday cried * All you ever wanted, and all you'll ever need (*4) Oh, yesterday cried My main line's gone a different way I woke up, and it was yesterday Yesterday cried. Oh, yesterday cried Times been good, times they been bad When I was with you, you know it made me sad Yesterday cried. Oh, yesterday cried *Repeat Yesterday cried By the shape of things I'm in I'll just watch it slide away Yesterday. Yesterday. Yesterday |

Thank you kindly
For thinking of me If I'm not smiling I'm just thinking Glad and sorry Happy or sad When all is done and spoken You're up or I'm down Can you show me a dream Can you show me one that's better than life Can you stand it in the cold light of day Well, neither can I |

He is reaching up for climbing
Ropes hanging down below I see the children smiling No need to let it show * I know, I won't be coming home No more The streets and sidewalk borders Stretch out beyond the scenes The sweet and dark emotions Every day hopes and dreams My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Her eyes anticipating My each and every move *Repeat All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side All I ever wanted Was to turn from my side The rake is scratching harder The half-drawn window shade Like any empty memory The colors seem to fade My God, I know who's waiting Beneath the bedroom floor Remember summer showers Outside the cabin walls *Repeat |

I once knew a guy
Who always asked for money I'd give him 10, he'd insist on 20 And now when I see him around His face is always pointed down at the ground * All I wanna know Is why he is such a prick Please tell so I know what makes guys like him tick He's such a dick He wanted to borrow some records from my collection On no return, I felt the rejection And now, when I see him in town Same way as always, his head is towards the ground *Repeat Unsatisfied, a word he often uses is need He is usually really wired on that cheap trucker speed Last time he was at my house, he tried to walk away with my weed Jeff plays bass, Mark and I play rhythm Dan and Gary play lead |

There's a man on TV claims he killed 23
Burnt their bodies and collected their teeth There's another man at home with his wife and family tree Who agreed this would make a good movie? And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me He sold the book rights, and he was set for life A woman on a talk show wants to be his wife Another man decides to purchase his knife A court decides he's got the right And I'm sitting here, wondering how he can ever sleep at night I don't want to walk where he walked I don't want to talk to who he stalked I don't want to walk where he walked First it was a book, and then it was a movie They cut it all up and they put it on the TV The starring role was played by Christopher Lee He was fine, he was something to see And I'm sitting here, wondering what this is all doing to me Oh Lord, I didn't catch how he got caught |

It don't matter if I lose
It's how I play the fool Somewhere down the line it all got Twisted, torn, and tossed and thrown away It all looks the same to me What you want I'll never be * And I can't seem to get it right But I wanna get off right now I can't seem to get it right But it's all so wrong, somehow Did you think I wouldn't return. Did you think I wouldn't return Did you think that I was dead. Did you think that I was dead Did you think I'd crash and burn Did you think it was my turn Radio plays, I'm coming down Road stretches out, but it ain't - Lord I'm home I'm not big on being amazed I'm in a haze, I'm lost - Nowhere bound And all my friends they jumped the wagon Parked today, tails a-waggin' *Repeat |

You shot me down, like you didn't care You only, the only simple wish you only wish, was born a prayer For a friend You toss and turn in your bed alone You throw abuse through a telephone Why don't you sit back relax, sit back and let your feelings go With a friend * Can't you let it go Oh, it aches you so Got to let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go On new years eve, you had it all A new year came, and I watched you fall You only plan was for a man, you only plan was for a friend Just a friend *Repeat I can't believe The things you can't see You're never wrong, you're always right You're never wrong, you're always right You got me wrong You're never wrong, you're always right You're never wrong, you're always right You got me With a friend Friend |

Hello darkness, come on in
Let me light a candle Imaginations running Hands start to tremble Knows enough to know not to believe Wha's real, and what it seems to be Knows what's keeping him from being free Right outside your door * Don't run away, red headed stepchild I can only promise you won't find your way back home In another room there's laughing Entertaining strangers Walls in there don't breathe no more But they're keeping out some angels Laughed so much, he almost cried Stranger offers him a ride City blocks roll on by Never coming back *Repeat Take your pictures off my wall I hate to look at strangers Then it's burning be forewarned Keep me out of danger Knows enough to know not to believe What is real, and what it seems to be Knows what's keeping him from being free Right outside your door *Repeat Find your way back home |

And you only play the games that you lose Can't even tie your own shoes But I think you're alright Woke up in the morning on my own Trying to figure out what went wrong Now you're wondering why I'm gone But I think you're alright Saw you can't play aloud on a hill Why is she probably you Think it's time for you to choose Dude, I think you're alright Now you never behave like you wanted to 'Cause they don't understand what you're going through So you're gonna get lost in your body tonight Yeah, I think it's alright I said, "Yeah, I think it's alright" Saw you on the corner asking for change Mangy, vicious dog acting deranged Everybody thought that you were strange Dude, I think you're alright |

In a sea of indecision Lost in fields of languish, Lord As I am I cannot stand I'm here to make a declaration Won't fall without a struggle And I accept your invitation Follow when you call It's clear to me That I must join the battle, here at hand Fly to where the thunder plays And lightning flashes bright Had this revelation, Lord You're still my [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible] I'm here to make this promise, dear Won't fall without a struggle And I accept your invitation Follow when you call I'm here to make this promise, dear Won't fail without a struggle And I accept your invitation Follow when you call It's clear to me That I must join the battle, here at hand Fly to where the cannons play And lightnin' flashes bright |

Hey, what's bubbling down under there?
Why is it screaming what's unfair? Please excuse it for getting out Let the shellfish swell inside How should I know? Watch it squirm It's asking me words that I learned Stay inside for me or space Trip me in a sprinkling gray Stay and take my fate Thought I knew you, stuck out my hand Didn't wish I could understand It's a twisted feeling, its there and bold It's time to burn out, hope I score Wait for me there, dash and run To watch this with the lantern Stay inside for me or space Trip me in a sprinkling gray Stay and take my fate Take my fate, take my fate Take my fate, take my fate |
