Lucky Boys Confusion

In an though you wont be perfect you wont be pure
And monday asking you
Why did you, how could you play me for such a fool

Oh theres no simple answer
Oh theres no reason at all

Must have been a beautiful daydream
You didnt come home till three
Must have a hell of a joyride
You didnt wanna think of me
Must have been a lot of people
Saying you took more then you gave
But what do you take to take the pain away

I turned to find the truth
The closer i got the farther i got from you
Cause i burned myself from you
How could you, why did you play me for a fool

Oh theres no simple answer
Hey theres no reason at all

Must have been a beautiful daydream
You didnt come home till three
Must have a hell of a joyride
You didnt wanna think of me
Must have been a lot of people
Saying you took more then you gave
But what do you take to take the pain away
And what do you take to make it all go away

You tore ever stich
You bait and you switch
You told me you'd change
That you'd change everything
Everything

Oh theres no simple answer
Oh theres no reason at all
And i know i got no simple answer
Hey, i'm not blaming you all

Must have been a beautiful daydream
You didnt come home till three
Must have a hell of a joyride
You didnt wanna think of me
Must have been a lot of people
Saying you took more then you gave
But what do you take to take the pain away
And what do you take to make it all go away
And what do you take to take the pain away
And what do you take to make it all go away

I've heard your having the time of your life
Wish you were here
Having it with me toni

The world is blocked out in the bedroom
The radio won't let her down
Every note is a reminder
Another failure born
Thirty miles outside Chicago
Kids know what's really going on
Still this gravel highway makes a statement
We're another town gone wrong
Moving out and moving on
You used to look like me
Moving out and moving on, forever
And this autumn air reminds
How things slowly unwind
Changing times have been unkind to you
As these days they slip away
We grown closer to our graves
Had the best time of my life, without you
It's three month since I've seen Chicago
Now the buliding aren't so tall
I found our initials in the pavement
Just another dream gone wrong
I bet it's simplier today
Throwing everything away
But the memory remains, Forever

Popped up this morning just a little off center
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided what to do
Looking back, looking over my shoulder
Still agnostic, every day it gets older
Haven't decided what to do
Holy books, so many flaws no answers
Believe in him, or fear him like a cancer
Haven't decided what to do
Bible banging, slanging Jesus at my door
Hey son, this is something you can't afford
Haven't decided what to do
Oh, give me somethign to believe
So many down on their knees
It baffles me, baffles me
Popped up this morning like nipples in the winter
God fearing world, I'm so afraid to enter
Haven't decided what to do
After life, after death uncertain
Choose your side before they're dropping the curtain
Haven't decided what to do
Where do I go for my inspiration
Go with the flow, with the standing ovation
Haven't decided what to do
Standing idle, waiting for doomsday
Damned if you do, damned if you don't say
Haven't decided what to do
Learned my lesson from history
I'm not claiming to be Jesus Christ and company
I am needy, I'm a thief
I'm not claiming to have role model qualities
But here's a lesson,
Simplicity
From a poor boy who don't believe in destiny
Be good to one another, set yourself free
All the pieces they fall together

I don't need your advice
I am the device
That you are living through

How long can this last
It's all in the past
And I am living proof

Chorus
You gave it away, Maybe I'm not old enough
You gave it away Maybe I wasn't cool enough
You gave it away Maybe you weren't there enough
There enough
Fuck it, come on

The greatest device
Branches collide
The overcast agrees

The rotten fruit
That you prosecute is leaving the family tree

Chorus

You plant the seed
Then you take control
Your grip has taken its toll

Chorus

If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
Hesitate to call you back, thirty-first and rent's due
If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
What is it, what's haunting you?
Now you're blaming all your friends again
Dead broke and dodging the heat
Now you're blaming all your friends again
Here's my last smoke, just hit me back
If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
You got your second DUI, again the lawyer's got to save you
If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
Your choices are choosing you
Don't feed me your excuse again
Again if it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
I know you saw your mother die, can't imagine how that hurt you
If it's happening, then it's happened to more than you
Stepmother stepped over you
Now you're blaming all your friends again
Dead broke and dodging the heat
Now you're blaming all your friends agian
Here's my last breath, just hit me back

I left you in the morning
Still drunk on melodrama,
You're so pretty so natural
but I had to salvage honor
.
Down your spiral staircase
The television I bought you,
Took a deep breath
Of your endless love perfume.

The carnage that the storm left
Six inches on the ground
The south side of Chicago
Stands eerily so sound.

I looked up at your window
Hand out as if to touch you;
You used to be so perfect
Why did I ever meet you?

Forty five steps to the liquior store
Just another breakdown that I can't afford but
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight
Alright

Forty five minitues it will all be gone
I'll be strapped to the tap like nothing's wrong but
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight
Alright

These days, these nights are so ordinary
Smoke filled room conversation slow
Just leave me alone with the radio
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight
Alright

End of the tunnel couldn't light my path
Souls warring down still running fast but
Can't worry about tomorrow's pain tonight,
Alright

Possessions never make good friends
You can throw it all away
Freedom is the race to your new beginning
Possessions never made much sense
Confessions never made much sense to me
These days, these nights are so ordinary

It's getting quiet here again
For a minute let's pretend
When I disapear the world stops turning
Getting hassled by my friends
They're telling me I'm changing for the worse
Another episode
I'm still pretending
I'm growing tired of holding out
Another open road it's never ending time
Here's to you, the good life and me
Here's to handshakes and losers, medicine and gasoline
Here's to you the good life to be
The dial tones, the misery and me
All the questions are the same
Won't you question who's to blame
Or ask me when my fire stops burning
Throwing more than just the game
Spitting back my answers well rehearsed

You started it off, break out the ammunition
If not enough, you point at my friends
Grabs the keys and tells me she's out of patience
And tells her friends what a loser I've been
The walls go up, the telephone is waiting
To get shut off, if it happens again
I've been building up or just been overrating
Time and my sanity spent
I don't wanna stand here and say I'm sorry
I just want to drink beer and play Atari
You can tell your mom how I make my money
I don't care
Well, later on my clothes are in the front yard
The tapes I made are all in a mess
I got to laugh thanks for the new selection
I got your dad's John Tesh
I don't wanna stand here and say I'm sorry
I just want to drink beer and play Atari
You can tell your mom how I make my money
I don't care
The world outside is cold, man, it's gone forever
I get high, in hindsight it's getting better
Save your breath, your threats won't hurt me
And I don't care
Beautiful, twisted and beautiful
I'm wasted and miserable
Take it away
