A sweet scent of discontent rising in the air
You don't get old you just get passive and then you stand and stare Hey nobody's keeping you from stopping Like a bulb without a socket your finger trigger's itching but you forgot to cock it And things didn't turn out the way you thought they would be No you can't take that out on me If you can find a better way then I ain't standing in your way I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just that you ain't that tough Ain't that tough ain't that tough A graveyard of bottles and a If you're so brave why's a .45 hang from your hips Nobody's keeping you from stopping You're always threatening to kill yourself well why don't you just do it right here, right now I didn't turn out the way you thought I would be No you can't take that out on me I thought I was talking to someone else I guess I was talking to myself I'm fed up with holding out I called your bluff now let it out You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad luck it's just you ain't that tough Last time I saw you you were talking just like me Now you're talking like some hollywood actress, what the hell's that supposed to mean? You ain't that tough you ain't that tough ... |

Black lights and a disco ball
Cut the carpets going wall to wall Maybe someday won't be just one way Had a dream I was laying in hell Looked a lot like this hotel Maybe one day, won't be just one way But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell, I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell all in all, all is well. A bomb shelter and some cans of food A gas mask looks good on you Come and see me Ya wouldn't wanna be me I think I injured my funny bone I'm gonna cry when I get home Maybe one day, save it for someday. But it's one big maybe And maybe I'm the one who's crazy How can I find out, How can I wonder, Trying to be like you. And all is well in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. You know who asked about you As far as I can tell All in all, all is well. All is well...... All is well, here in hell I wish you were here, I wishing you well. All is well, here in hell!

So tired of the big sensation I need to know what's going on Oh well you're the well-informed Into your world which I was born My friend, here's to you How would I know if there was something wrong When the weak of heart out-survive the strong The truth is almost always confidential You never know just what you've got until it's gone And your friends have never seemed so essential When you're wrong Remarkably incredible, incredibly forgettable I know this might sound strange, don't ever change Amazingly unfaceable, entirely replaceable There's nothing I would rearrange, don't ever change Out of luck, out of space, out of time, out of place Don't try to save face my friend There was a time and there was a place For your face and for your race but it's been swept away |

It's a second hand story no one wants to hear
And it's wet with blood, salted with tears It's black and white and red all over, happens all the time This was something about an artificial heart She lived in a sleepy town trailer home park Where not many people go out after dark Innocent helpless at 17, queen of every loser's wet dream Which brings us to our villain but a mother could love He liked amputation and the Lord above He kidnapped her on her way home from school She lost her mind, he lost his cool She didn't tell him about the artificial heart Then some kid found her head Then an arm and a leg and you know the rest they said The artificial heart it was still beating With a needle and a thread they sewed on her head She's alive and well like she was never dead She doesn't remember the day she didn't die Or how everybody cried She read a story in the paper how she was victimized And you should have seen the look in her eyes Her assailant was acquitted and as she read I swear she laughed off her head |

Right before the aftermath, I saw where it would end.
They said it was an accident, I guess that all depends on who you talk to and who you know, and where you come from and where - where you go. In your crowd of pushers and users, takers and loosers, beggars and beggars and beggars and choosers. Your childhood days are over as you stuff your shirt and say made a choice it's wrong or right, it's this way I will stay. You'll sell it to your children, you'll sell it to your wife. Buying is your business, and selling is your life, It's your life. The vultures are all circling around your ????. Scavengers, evangalists will get to you some how. Your mother and your ex-best friend, letters that you never send. Your illegitamate children are coming for you now. They're always dragging you down, it's looking like a showdown, between revenge and in the end you can't defend. Can you try to imagine, a story that has no end? I think you better steal it while you still understand it, and sell it to one of your friends. |

At the end of the track is a shack
When you die, that's where you go Down the lines, up from this pit at the end of your rainbow That's one too many flights of stairs One more stair and almost there One more dose close Keep coming back to haunt you, Got no place left to go And they'll strip your car to the bone We did a scene, checked out a gown The Justice started laughing I guess that's what you get for laughing One last laugh and lived to tell One more pomp and circumstance One more fool to follow Another finger down my throat It's a bitter pill to swallow It's moving much too slow Who it is asleep at the wheel I don't want to know Just around the corner there's Somebody there to take you there Don't worry child you're sure to be scared One more drink before I go One last good luck kiss One less thing to call my own That's one more thing I miss Took the world by storm Most of 'em either in a dark jail Or wishing they had never been born Just around the corner there's One more pomp and circumstance One more fool to follow Another finger down my throat That's a bitter pill to swallow |

Why you always want to get the best of me
I'm like a seeing-eye dog and I can't even see They're naked and they're following my master who is blind And my mind's gone to pieces, I could use some piece of mind So I picked up the pieces and I made a new start Stole an old stiletto, started stabbing in the dark I can't live without it, I would surely fall apart But it's hard to make arrangements 'round a bittersweetheart Bittersweetheart Better get yourself a little street smart Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure It's just my bittersweetheart It's like a suicide mission when you can't see no end Tired of compliment-fishing and impressing your friends I never kissed no one just to kiss and tell It's a little bit of heaven and a whole lot of hell In the eye of the beholder is a beautiful start But you always seem to end up with a bittersweetheart There's a darkness looming but the sun is shining bright I can live to see the morning if I stay up all night Bittersweetheart Without a shortcut, without a head-start Bittersweetheart, sad but true It's a bittersweetheart that's a hard heart to cure My bittersweetheart It's the hardest part Bittersweetheart Are you in there, are you beating Beating me up until I'm bleeding How much blood can you spare Bittersweetheart Think just a drink might get you to the good part Lyin' in bed just a'wonderin' what to do, It's a bittersweetheart that'a a hard heart to cure In time inside you find you always wind up with a bittersweetheart |

But I suppose you've seen it all before There's one thing I'm trying to tell you But then again, you've heard it all before I survived another week just like the one before, When everything you wanted somehow leaves you wanting more And I looked beneath the carpet behind each and every door, Trying to find you something like you've never had before And it seems we're just beginners No previous experience at all Just the last original sinners And if you need me just be sure to call And they tell you which way not to go and so you go that way One child plays with another throws it away Like a kite without string do anything I'm trying to take you someplace you've never been before I see something new in each and every moon From your old, old hat to your blown-out shoes It's tried and true, and it's all I do And I hope it's not all the same to you The old and new, they get mistaken all the time Is there something I've never seen before No, just a brand new shine Now they're cranking 'em out by the millions They look and act exactly just the same And each one's one in a million And each has got its own elusive game It's the same old dusty atmosphere just like the other place I see something familiar in each and every face Seems to me I've seen you, been here, said this once before I'm trying to take you someplace you've never been before I see something new in each and every moon From your old, old hat to When I dropped it and broke it, I thought of you And I hope it's not all the same to you And the old and new, they get mistaken all the time Is there something I've never seen before |

I hope you don't mind the pain I wanna cut you And let you force it out clean It'd be a shot quick I think I know how this works Things will be better Because they can't get much worse And we will carry on Carry… carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on Whenever I see you I know you think I don't know That I could be you And your thoughts they don't show I want to trust you I want to trust you so bad I want to bust you Stealing the few things we had And we will carry on Carry on Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups They're dead weight, they're made out of lead And I can't carry the guilt and frustration Of something someone else said Now I'm just learning to carry myself Carry myself on my own Now I'm just looking to carry myself Carry on, carry on, carry on (Now's the place to lose your faith Keep the faith that reinstates the habits That are forming what you feel) This will be over |

Now everybody’s looking after me,
if I’m dragging by some coat tail, I can’t see it’s too dark, but I’ve got to know what’s got the best of me. When the circus that you left goes on parade, and those things you see seem so far in your charade, too far, but I’m feeling like I don’t dare look away, Don’t look away. Did it almost make you feel, that something’s got to happen soon, when you wake up feeling lost in your own room. If you’re crying and you fear you’re gonna drown, if you think we’ll rise above, you’d better look around, you’ll see. It’s a mountain made of sand crumbling under me. Maybe I’m chasing shadows on your wall, they loom so large, but make me feel so small somehow, when you’re chasing your own tail spinning your own wheels. .. And a time to leave, and a time to stay, I guess the things I look away... Did it almost make you feel that somethings gotta happen soon. You’re in the movies now that I’m in your cartoon. There’s a ringing in my ears that’s heaven sent. There’s a beast out on the ruins, some broken down lover’s lament. It goes on and on but it won’t go away. |

The mirror on the wall it tells no lies
And oh I don't like what I see I see a woman there I watch her as she cries And the woman isn't really me But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday I wish I didn't feel this way I can't get nothing done And all I want to do is go to sleep Though I lie in bed for hours I cannot close my eyes And lonely days turn into lonely weeks But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday Every now and then I think things might be all right And I think I see a light beyond the door Just as I approach it disappears again And everything seems darker than before But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free I need to feel you put your hands around me Day in, day out, it's the same old story You're out there on your own Is he worth the price you pay Got you in his chains Will he set you free someday |

Almost gave up yesterday, almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day, fell short of picking up a mop If it's the thought that counts, you can always count on me I think about it all the time It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning Here it comes, my peace of mind Cause I'm close, so close, so close I'm close, so close, so close Falling short of proving it, just a hair from the truth Little shy of improving it, here I come, I'm coming through Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing I've been keeping it inside No one cares just how you got there No one cares how hard you've tried But you're close, so close, so close You're close, so close, so close Well I've known you forever, we complete each other's thoughts Ain't like we never got in trouble, it's just we've never gotten caught And if you've got a secret It's in me you can confide And if we ever get split up I'll always be on your side Cause we're close, so close, so close We're close, so close, so close |

It's a shame you're not here on the cross in my ear
Hearing things loud and clear, come outside have no fear And clear the smoke, get some fresh air, someone waits, someone cares In the broad light of day, trouble seems so far away At the top of the day When the reign sways Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away Please don't ask me how I am, a little tired, a little scared I'm not amused, not upset, don't need a leash, I'm not your pet So loosen up, feel the breeze, let me hear, hear you breathe It's better than, bitter now, when you breathe I love that sound But you know I'll look after You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The child that remains Nothing's lost, take these chains Take them away If I die before I wake, light a fuse, bake a cake I don't mind if I go, make it quick, don't be slow But you know I'll remember You like no one Lose the cradle chain Give it up, give it a name The smile that remains Will take these chains away |

Dying on a bed of roses in the middle of the night
Woke up in a cold, dark basement looking through candlelights Up all night, silly kid come crashing down (just one more taker) Like a ghost of a thousand miles crawling over me Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in? Did he hand you the reigns of the morning news? He lulled you asleep 'til the Aussie cat mews When the leaves from the trees come crashing down (don't time pass slowly) When the seasons don't change, they're spinning around Here's to falling off the world's dark side Drifted it alone on a morning's tide Riding on an all-night train through a crystal gate When the moonlight shines a path for a brighter day When the ballrooms are all banging and the evening is so still Could you see it in your heart to let me in?

You got me going
So get me out of here I should be blowin' In someone else's ear I'm looking forward to looking back On days like today Though I wish you would go away Stay, won't you stay I'm gonna crawl I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer I'm gonna crawl home from here Some respond to pleasure Some respond to pain I'm hangin' out to dry In the pouring rain Victims of temptation Never can complain I could use the sensation You see I can't feel pain I'm gonna crawl I never ever said I'd never make it home It's just a stone's throw, a crawl home Good to see you, see you later, maybe one more beer I'm just a crawl home from here I could use someone To drag me out of here I am that someone It's all become quite clear So get me out of here I never felt better just crawling home I'm gonna crawl home, crawl home alone Good to see you, see you later, and I'm outta here I'm just a crawl home from here |

And all grown now, tryin' to act so tough Here comes a slap right in the face Branding irons and cattle prods Cowboys everywhere, ropes flyin through the air Leaves some kind of funny aftertaste And when the room gets small And the streets are filled with fighting You'll find a way to escape You'll find a better place Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world Jet fighters streak the air And where they're going nobody seems to care I guess we'll just wait and watch 'em fade I don't think much about The things I thought I just couldn't live without I live without them everyday And when you just can't handle One more panhandler It leaves you wishing for change A fast car to take you away It's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world So take your shattered faith And make it just like new with crazy glue and tape You're gonna need it again someday You're gonna need it again You're gonna need it today Cause it's a crazy mixed up world out there Someones always got a gun and it's all about money You live with loneliness or you live with somebody Who's crazy - It's just a crazy mixed up world |

It's not someplace you have to go, it's not something you have to know. Don't do this, don't touch that. Hey, draw the line I'll speak my mind, maybe I'll wait for another time. Sometimes you get close to those who wait, Sometimes it makes you hesitate. Some folks find more humanity, some folks find more than sanity. Don't do this, don't do that, don't try this, don't do that, Don't try this, don't touch that. Hey, do it for the last time. By the weight of the world coming down, down on, down on up to me. Down on up to me, wait for another time. When you look down on me, I get so uppity, Starting my own army, just me and my friends, said you better get ready. Hahaha. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to me. Coming down, down on, down on up to me, down on up to Though it might just come down to trust, It sometimes just comes down to lust, that's just one person's point of view. |

Did you hear the one about the friend of a a friend who tried to end it all
At the last moment he picked up the phone and gave you a call You thought about letting it ring, but you answered after all And there you were, put on the spot at the end of the other line For questions that you never thought you'd ever have to answer to Who do you turn to when the ones you always turn to go and turn on you It leaves you in the dark, feeling for a switch to turn it on again There are no easy answers, the questions remain tough There's no shortcuts to easy street, no corners you can cut Can you cut this diamond in the rough And it's good to see you alive Sign your will to survive A look into your heart before it sees its final hour Lived each day like there is no tomorrow Beyond this mess ahead there is a street so very hard to find Though I have got to lay my head down at this dead end so many times And if we ever get to easy street, you can say with a smile I came just for the ride |

Rise and shine it's you're razor sharp.
Size up yourself in the mirror, a slice of life, To last through all the years, because sooner or later it all comes back to you, And we will remember, the fine things you can do. I'm giving back all the things that you gave to me. I'm saving up the price to pay to be free. Remember the first time you saw the rising sun. You may be done but I've just begun. The leaves are burning and the ashes have flown away. I'm turning over new leaves almost every day. You let him think you just as soon stay - you let him think you had nothing to say. Just let you go away, to find some mangled security, some strangled form of purity, To restore your faith and all the things you've come to hate. You give and you take and you leave, leave it alone. What i want so badly for this to be a place you can call home, and I haven't felt this Way since yesterday, but I don't remeber when. What I want so badly to be someone you can call a friend, till we meet again. Endless Farewell. Hello, Hello, Hello again. Endless Farewell. |

She had 13 kids, each one had 13 problems
Three uppers, ten downers, just to put up with this And she don't know which children belong to which father But she loves them all anyway and they each get a kiss And the toilet ain't flushing and the toaster is smoking The vacuum don't suck but it needs a new belt But she saw the world through the eyes of a child And remembers how good it was and how good it felt He picked up the paper from the bitter cold morning He had just gone to sleep, he had to get up for work By morning he's a watchman and by night he's a waiter In the late afternoon he works as a clerk And he can't pay the doctor bills, he just can't afford the pills The car's repossesed and the child support's due But he saw the world through the eyes of a child Big problems seem smaller and old things seem new She was just six when she turned her first trick Now she's thirteen and it don't make her sick And she does lots of crystal and she owns her own pistol Got a goldfish named Silver and a pimp who's named Rick And some are like customers and some are like patients She'd have gone back to school if she'd just had the patience But she saw the world through the eyes of a child None of the nightmares, and nothing to deny She saw the world through the eyes of a child Yes she's seen it all and she knows they're all lies |

When aid turned sideways
And It'd head on down the highway Say this is my way, disappearing forever But there ain't just one way So you choose the fun way Slide down the runway On a ticket that goes two ways And by the way that it sounded You thought that you'd be astounded But you left it like you found it Cause it wasn't yours to take What once seemed like dying Soon turned into flying So you settle for trying And you wish you were grounded No you cannot get much higher Than your utmost desire So you bring it down to size and Now it seems that you are grounded By the way that it sounded You thought that you'd be astounded But you left it like you found it Now you find that you are grounded |

You never grow out of taking You never grow out of complicating When simple things are waiting But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of contemplating When it ain't worth debating You never grow out of mistake making You never grow out of faking But I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear You never grow out of fear I'm growing into you I'm growing into you There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear You never grow out of fear (x6) And will I ever, ever, ever get over it |

Riding into town when the sun goes down
And the natives get restless and the crowd comes round Pacing in place in a backward race While starting my case to another blank face I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But i need a better reason to cry Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Now everything's lovely if you're ugly What you would, what you should, and what you could be Mr right, spending his life, Stabbing himself with a butter knife I'm just sitting on the roadside Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by They may pass me by But I need a better reason to cry Growing pain's a spinning blade Whirling round you like a razor edged chain It's down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who's a little insane Growing pain it leaves a stain That's similar but not the same Its down the drain and what remains Maybe you're the one who can make that change Can't shake hands with boxing gloves With whips and chains you'll never make love |

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this I just want a kiss goodbye And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at This is my song of joy And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics Just liars and lunatics And we are not of this world And there's a place for us Stuck inside this fleeting moment Tucked away where no one own it Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away And oh, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me I never really knew how much I had Woe is me, I am so homesick But it ain't that bad Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had |

Kneeling at the confessional with nothing to confess And I knew all about my surprise party I was spoiled and depressed Hey I acted surprised and I told lots of lies Yes I did my best Stop the truck at the truck stop, I need something to help me crash Food stamps, checks and credits cards, but they only accepted cash There was sweat beating on my brow My heart was beating out of my chest So I stole everything they couldn't give away Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you I was waiting for a chain reaction with the missing link Waiting for that trickle-down forever circling the sink I was tired of being tired I could not get no rest So I kept sleep-walking and talking in my sleep Yes I did my best And I did the best that I could do With all the mess that I've been through What did you expect me to do I did my best for you |

Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying And it comes back to you, all the things that you do Will come looking for you, will come looking for you But I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls But I will still be laughing I will still be laughing Yes I will still be laughing I will still be laughing |

Is it bitter, is it sad? Is it inside all these people? Is it just plain evil?

That I'm on my way back Just a couple more missions and I'll start getting packed" You gotta bring your soldier home All those stones have all been thrown You gotta give a kid a chance to get a look at his kid And hope he can live with whatever he did Lately I was wondering if she'd heard from him lately Lately I was wondering if she'd heard from him lately |

And pulling out your hair Furious and steaming, a state upon your stare Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that Dirt will always be there, it's only Dirt around you and dirt surrounds you and Follows you everywhere Here's a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut The heart of it, it sparkles, the more it can corrupt Don't you know, dirt can't hurt you I'm truly certain, usually washes out Don't you know, rain will wash out the Stain and all of your, pain will work itself out Work it out, 'fraid you've lost your innocence To some-odd social scene, you're right on top But you've been replaced, by a shiny new machine And dirt keeps following you, and you don't know what it means You're a little too clean, a little too clean, a little too clean One day dirt will bury you and you will understand There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there It's only dirt around you and Dirt surrounds you and follows you everywhere 'Fraid you've lost your innocence, to some-odd social scene You're right on top, but you've been replaced By a shiny new machine and dirt keeps following you And you don't know what it means, you're a little too clean A little too clean, a little too clean |

And pulling out your hair Furious and steaming, a state upon your stare Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that Dirt will always be there, it's only Dirt around you and dirt surrounds you and Follows you everywhere Here's a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut The heart of it, it sparkles, the more it can corrupt Don't you know, dirt can't hurt you I'm truly certain, usually washes out Don't you know, rain will wash out the Stain and all of your, pain will work itself out Work it out, 'fraid you've lost your innocence To some-odd social scene, you're right on top But you've been replaced, by a shiny new machine And dirt keeps following you, and you don't know what it means You're a little too clean, a little too clean, a little too clean One day dirt will bury you and you will understand There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand Don't you know dirt will find you and Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there It's only dirt around you and Dirt surrounds you and follows you everywhere 'Fraid you've lost your innocence, to some-odd social scene You're right on top, but you've been replaced By a shiny new machine and dirt keeps following you And you don't know what it means, you're a little too clean A little too clean, a little too clean |

from Soul Asylum - Made To Be Broken (2006)
Peeping Tom creepin' through the mornin' moonlight (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Like a crazy coyote in the middle of the night (ohh, ohh, ohh) You keep taggin' along 'til it does you wrong Sometimes it takes so long for you to say so long Not for the lone rider Lone rider Woah Huh Ya Black cloud troll wherever he goes (ohh, ohh, ohh) He breaks out in a cold sweat when you get too close Your suitcase is home long may you roam lone rider Ohh, baby's cryin' please come home lone rider The reflections in the water but the water's a mirage It's like a dream machine that never leaves the garage Your boots start walkin', as the story goes People start talkin' and he wrestlessness gows They say he hates people, say he's a queer Never listens but always hears Off into the sunset he disappears Surely the last time to come around here, oh no Ride on Ride on Ride on |

from Soul Asylum - Say What You Will Clarence...Karl Sold The Truck (2006)
Mine is a lonely one, I forgot to have fun, standing under the street light
Ever so nervously, people lookin' down on me, telling me it's all right If it were up to me I'd tear down this whole city, what's all this shit here for? I give you my heart, but you just say I make you feel like a whore All this trouble just to die, all this trouble's only temporary, it's temporary, temporary Took away his power but he hides a tiny flower in the corner of his jail cell Never been outside he just can't hide, he'd just assume be in hell Get off the fucking telephone, why'd you hate to be alone, paranoid of death and love Ever so patiently we sit upon our sinking ship waiting for the black dove All this trouble just to die, all this trouble's only temporary, it's temporary, temporary Sad that I could make it, glad that I could fake, sorry but I got to go I ain't afraid of cryin', ain't afraid of dyin'. ain't afraid of what I don't know |

from Soul Asylum - Closer To The Stars (2006)
You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me You won't know and you're never claim to show That special feeling inside Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go Up to the skies and it only goes to show I've waited here for you a long, long time I think i'd better go Long way home (x4) So now you studied the changes Have you lost your way Through all the strangeness And you got no more to say Long way home (x8) |

from I Know What You Did Last Summer The Album (1997)
Go ahead, spit it out, I can take it,
Don't do this don't do that, try and fake it, I, I, I have seen it all Tell me there's something wrong, make me see it, How i try i must be wrong, it must be me I, I, I have been wrong before And I confess, that I am having a hard time And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine When its over I'm coming over, Use your shoulder, soon be over But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it.... Suck it up rip it out, still i'm learnin' Light it up put it out, keep it burnin' I, I, I've been burned before Come on out I know you can make me happy Little smile just ahead, make it happen I, I, I have smiled before And I confess, that I am having a hard time And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine When its over I'm coming over, Use your shoulder, soon be over But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it.... I am having a hard time |

Guess I'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me I will ride I will tear out my insides just to find a place to hide And I don't want to hurt you anymore You got the dagger but I got the revolver As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor I been ?? is it just these drugs I'm feelin'? And I don't want to lie to you no more ?? ?? till the end A guitar's a man's best friend But these rules were meant to be broken ?? make myself uneasy And I haven't got the guts to make you cry ?? to one thing ?? do something And I don't want to hurt you anymore Now with this advice I will end ?? Some things are meant to be spoken And these rules are meant to be broken |
