Woman driving, man sleeping.
Wear the suitcase on the rack. White lines shooting by, on the pavement like the sky. Looking straight ahead, into the black. Woman driving, man sleeping. There's no radio to play. Sitting with the map, laying crumpled on her lap. Looking for the toll money to pay. *Man sleeping is man dreaming, in a large apartment house. Walking and knocking on doors. Woman driving, man sleeping. Passin' all the other cars. Searching in the black, but never turning to look back. A little metal box under the stars. * Repeat Woman driving, man sleeping. (x2) |

If you're scared of dying you better
not be scared to live. I've been spending all my days giving all I can give. Last night I heard someone walking through my bedroom door. What they want I'm not exactly sure. Chorus: A friendly ghost, is all I need. (x2) Working time on a broken watch, countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone and everyone's gonna leave me alone. Two times I thought I heard someone knocking on the glass. I hit my head and prayed that it would last. Chorus If you're scared of dying you better not be scared to live. I've been carrying round a grudge, I think I better forgive Last night I heard footsteps walking on the attic floor. Got up and I opened up the door. Chorus If you're scared of dying you better not be scared to live. I've been spending all my days giving all I can give. |

But each night I dream about being back home When I wake up in the morning I'm too tired, tired of being alone So I get up and go downtown And pick me out a little piece of ground Where I can prove something to the world I can prove something to the world Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Daddy put us in the truck and Dropped us off and said good luck, then One lucky kid waiting for the bus Made a winner out of one of us Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Going down by the railroad tracks, where People know that they better not relax I'm the man, baby, I am the man This is where I can make you understand I'm the bus stop boxer Don't look at me X2 |

Baby you are it A little light that shines all over Must take over and see us through the night daddy was a troubled genius Mama was a real good egg Why don't we just get together For whatever and see if it's alright I spent so many days Just staring at the haze And I think that that's a book That I don't have to write again Now when I rise I shine I got you on my mind And the question isn't if The question is merely when... Baby I confess I am quite a mess So let's get married and make some people More than equal in this world of shit I will make a pledge To get down off the ledge You and I belong together And forever we will have our love |

That make a small portion of the world cry I like the sea-side And singing songs that make you not wanna die Throw a stone into the sea And wait for it to come back to me Better get out on the boat Cos' someone told me that stones don't float I like to sit out back And look up at the squirrels in the trees They don't like radio tracks And they don't ever talk down to me Throw a nut up in the tree Gonna fall right back on me Well these guys know who they are And what they needs in their own backyard Whoo-ooh Whoo-ooh I like to play in the snow I stick my hand in, now where did it go?

So you've got balls now
Murray on the run Down on Newberry Street Seventeen seconds of fun Apes are overrated blocky A kinky batch of pudding, yay Garbage dump, pumpkin rot And candy apple gray Werewolf in the flowerbed Perfect day for lucky guy This song was never meant to be released What's that flaming ball in the sky? The crackhead from Texas He can read my feet A bruised pinata And a liquid pixie If friends were flowers Nothing gold can stay Gun-sexual sense And squeegee tails Bees in the cookie jar Symphonic despair Reinventing the manifesto Are you? We don't care Jacuzzis and bunnies A broken fondue set Koool G is in the outhouse You can be my Mr. French This old Frisbee Is shitting in the alley I saw a naked picture of me on the Internet Wearing Jesus' new snowshoes Golly gee If Hell is crowded, then we shall sing A hip song for the kids in the back For Michelle and the dripping of a faucet Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks Olympic mayonnaise Doctor Thunder Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts With Hollywood suspicion The doctor had snake hearts |

Someone that I can believe We had a window, not open too long But that time is good and gone And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies Sit on the back porch and wonder bout her What is she doing right now? Making somebody a happier man Dying her hair back to brown Once in a while your life gets so good Worth all the trouble of the past That was the case but I think I always knew Good things don't ever last And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies I like a girl with a dirty mouth Know that I can trust her We had our time but it didn't last too long And that time is good and gone That time is good and gone |

In the yard, behind the church where
Butterflies and blackbirds search for A safe place to rest the night away We will go down to the brook and Sit upon the overlook then Forget about the troubles of the day We will walk among the graves of Men long dead with presidents' names and Listen to the water flow softly by I will kiss you on the lips now And as the sky grows dark we'll strip down And let the water wash away all lies In the yard, behind the church where Butterflies and blackbirds perch on Grey stones as the garden's growing dim We will lay down on the ground and Put our cheeks against the dirt down Where it no longer matters Where you've been |

Your voice was so grave I knew it would be The last time we spoke You said something That I couldn't bear To hear with my own ears The last time we spoke And it's a hard time Trying to get through All the days that drag on Thinking about you Nothing hurts Like someone who knows Everything about you Leaving you behind And it's a hard time Trying to get through All the days that drag on Thinking about you When you called You might as well have killed me And that was the last time The last time we spoke |

Everyone is going fetal
It's the dance the kids all feel Just get down under your desk Feels like your mama's nest Alright Everyone is going fetal It's the one that's really real You're gonna love it if you give it a try You just lay down like you're gonna die Alright Everyone is going fetal If you feel like your fate is sealed Then just get down and curl on up Just like a little helpless pup Alright Everyone is going fetal |

I've got something
Maybe I should tell you I may check out At any given time Things won't get better Until they get much worse Is the curse stronger than me Or am I stronger than the curse Everyone is scared of me And I'm scared of me too Never know just what I'm gonna do Heads up, kittens Everything is bad The sky is dark now But it's the best dark I ever had Hang on to a little thing And let it guide the way Bring it with you to Another day I've got something Maybe I should tell you I'm hanging on here And I'm really gonna try Things won't get better Until they get much worse Am I stronger than the curse |

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees Blinking down a Morse code signal Especially for me Ain't no rainbow in the sky In the middle of the night But the signal's coming through One day I will be alright again Blinking lights on the highway cars Stopping one by one Get a look at the accident Didn't see that one coming And the doctor in the sky Gonna bring his chopper down Gonna bring me out alive And set me on the ground Once more again Blinking lights on the airplane wings Up above the trees |

And i'm a little too late By three or four years And it may not make much sense Now that we are apart But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart You see i never thought enough of myself To realize that losing me could mean Something like the tears in your eyes And i want to tell you i'm sorry And it's too late to start But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart And it's christmas eve Years down the line Sitting here wishing i'd treated you better When you were mine And i have no way of knowing where you are But i'm going to stop pretending That i didn't break your heart I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't know what i was doing But i know what i have done |

The Feeling of understanding is very rare
For someone like me it's hard to find Somebody to care She's got a way about her Changes everything She's got a way about her She's my sweet lil' thing Making love with her indie rock Playing on the stereo Holding hands going down the road When she drives me home She's got a magic about her Makes me want to sing She's got a magic about her She's my sweet lil' thing Spent the day lying in her bed My nose against hers Later we went for a drive Didn't know where we were Man I never felt so alive Nobody gets the girl But baby I do Nobody gets me either But she sees through She's got a glow around her Shines on everything She's got a glow around her She's my sweet lil' thing |

Blue light is flickering
Through the city streets One billion TV sets Glowing off concrete One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats But when he goes to bed He wonders where he's at Thrift store shirts and old haircuts Living in an old sitcom Whatever happened to soy bomb The day is coming when you'll have to think of it Was it really worth it All that shit Blue light is flickering Through the cloudy sky On billion lonely hearts Beat until they die One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb |

Dear cousin,
I got your letter It was more than i thought i deserved Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of And i dream about so much it is absurd But when i get there and she sees me I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming My kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time I had a thought while i was sleeping And i dreamed about a place for us to rest Eternity under the old oak tree But i go too far i guess Maybe i'll think about tomorrow And maybe i can get her to stay that long 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time And if she finds me so repulsive She wouldn't be the first to wretch Well i decided one day long ago I was never gonna be the greatest catch And if she cares about the car i drive Then she can get in hers The moment i arrive 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time |

It's a beautiful new place Where else could a creep like me Meet such a pretty face Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done Used to always feel like Wished that i was dressed better Never had a lot of luck Until i finally met her Feeling like the weight that weighed a ton Lifted off my shoulders now My losing streak is done Always felt like giving in To the feeling i can't win But i took it on the chin Now i'm finally cashing in Meeting every day with the rising sun Looking up it's looking like My losing streak is done My losing streak is done I said my losing streak is done Did you hear me I said my losing streak is done |

Seen a lot, been through too much But this is where i draw the line It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you December is a lonely month In a year of lonely days It's hard to tell which way is up Or down or out Or through the haze People cheat and people lie While you just watch it all go by Counting days until you die The stars shine in the sky tonight Like a path beyond the grave When you wish upon that star There's two of us you need to save It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you |

Everybody thinks it's strange I get up early in the morning No matter how disappointed I was With the day before It feels new I don't leave the house much I don't like being around people Makes me nervous and weird I don't like going to show either It's better for me to stay at home Some might think it means I hate people But that's not quite right I got a dog I take him for a walk And all the people like to say hello I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks I'm learning how to say hello Withou too much trouble I'm turning out just like my father Though I swore I never would Now I can say that I have love for him I never really understood What it must have been like for him Living inside his head I feel like hi's here with me now Even though he's dead It's not all good and it's not all bad Don't believe everything you read I'm the only one who knows what it's like So I thought I'd better tell you Before I leave So in the end I'd like to say That I'm a very thankful man I tried to make the most of my situation And enjoy what I had I knew true love and I knew passion And the difference between the two And I had some regrets But if I had to do it all again Well, it's something I'd like to do |

Lilac blowing through the warm summer air
Hint of your perfume The smell of your hair Sun is setting and the crows all cry Electrical storm forming in the sky Got a hurt inside that I just gotta heal All I can do is feel, feel, feel Day is dying and the night is born Baby don't leave me so lovelorn A hungry dog howls through the trees It echoes long on the lilac breeze A blackbird sings a song so sad Girl, I want it bad Girl, I want it bad Birds do it, bees do it I wanna do it The only thing we need to do Is get down to it Please hear my plea Know it comes from the heart Baby, you and me got something to start A hungry dog howls through the trees It echoes long on the lilac breeze A blackbird sings a song so sad Girl, I want it bad Girl, I want it bad Why won't you hear me? I'm a desperate man Darling, don't fear me Just say we can Lilac blowing in the warm summer breeze Floating so soft with the cries in the trees Sun is setting and the day is dead How can I get it through your pretty little head A hungry dog howls through the trees It echoes long on the lilac breeze A blackbird sings a song so sad Girl, I want it bad Girl, I want it bad Girl, I want it bad |

My love is always just as she seems
A force of nature all her own To be reckoned with Whatever's wrong with me Her kiss redeems And it's all there In my dreams My love is soaring She glides through the sky Hardly a warning She takes my hand Says "Open your eyes" We look down on the earth And all its schemes We laugh And it's all there In my dreams We swoop down below the clouds Destination unknown And then she says "Let's go home" My love is resting under a tree She whispers softly in my ear As she lay next to me "That was the funnest day" Her sad eyes beam And it's all there In my dreams |

Came and went time and again in all my daily dealings Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside Why is true love hard to find, why does true love hide But now I found you and I know that we would be So very happy if you could only see That I was made for you and you were made for me The road in front of us is long and it is wide We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side With you I will and well I think I'm qualified And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride I've got a plan you know I've got it all worked out And all you gotta do is pack your bags and check your doubts You come around and you will see just what I am A true love through the worst of times, a true love to the end So now you found me and you only gotta see How complementary we could really be Cos I was made for you and you were made for me The road in front of us is long and it is wide We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side We will be stronger if our forces are aligned And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride We'll take the ride as far as anyone can go We'll pray hand in hand until the toe I've got it all worked out don't worry about a thing Just give your hand to me, and here, put on this ring The road in front of us is long and it is wide We've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side With you I will and well I think I'm qualified And with beginner's luck we've got to take the ride |

The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly A caterpillar to a moth before I die I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound I knew my feet could never leave the ground I went about my way, unsteady and afraid How could I know I was headed for this day? All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown A branch to rest upon A place to call my own Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say But it was him who brought me to this day All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free |

When the birds are still asleep You can feel it No cars are on the street It’s anybody’s day It could go any way Why wouldn’t you want to make The most of it? In the morning There’s nothing left to prove If it’s your game It’s time to make a move Don’t look the other way You’re gonna have your say Why wouldn’t you want to make It really count? In the morning Yesterday is just a dream Out the window Take a look at all you see Baptized by the sun Go on and have some fun Why wouldn’t you want to have The greatest day? |

She's got a life livin' in her heart
She's got these eyes, well, where do I start? Like lookin' at the deep night sky So many worlds inside her eyes She's a spectacular girl Part of the job of bein' her man Is knowin' when to let go of her hand Her kind of power, it can't be reigned in To hold her back would be a sin She's a spectacular girl She sees the beauty in things we all miss All good things are defined by her kiss If you're feelin' like you can't believe Well, then, how do you explain the miracle I see? She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl Not a desire and not a need Some things just happen 'cause they have to be I'm gonna get there, I'm tellin' you, sir I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl Aw, yeah My love |

My friend was lyin', the grass was dyin' It felt like a story you don't care where it leads A change of venue, will it mend you? If the grass is not greener, you know what it needs I knew that I had to throw down some seeds Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Fair weather friends, they make amends But you look in their eyes and you know it's not real A little carin' and soul-barin' The actor's contract pays him how to feel I knew it was time to make a new deal Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Jacaranda bloomin' No clouds are loomin' The trees are swayin' In the wind Up in the mornin' without a warnin' The sun is a shinin' like a new born's smile It's time I faced it, don't wanna waste it I could run away but that's just not my style And I think that I just might stay here a while Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Oh, so lovely, Lord above me I feel my heart changin' in mysterious new ways Everybody, oh, so lovely Now how can I tell you how grateful I am? Yeah My friend was lyin', the grass was dyin' It felt like a story you don't care where it leads A change of venue, will it mend you? |

Look in the mirror
I am The Man Mrs. Miller says I am The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man Everyone is a fan A little walk through the neighborhood People nod 'cause it's understood Mr. Henry comes out to stand A wave and shout-out To The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man By popular demand The little skinhead with the tattooed face Shows me a moment of style and grace The old hippie with the tie-dye headband Flashes a peace sign to The Man Ask the birds singin' I am The Man Well, I do what I can The angry redneck in his pickup truck Tips his hat and gives the thumbs-up The New Age guy with the yoga mat Blesses me with a pat on the back The longhaired indie rock kid in a band Looks through his hair and shakes my hand The old homeless guy who smells like pee Stops talking nonsense and says "Morning, E" Ask the birds singin' I am The Man It's all part of the plan The thug rapper with the gold and chains Puts in his grill and says "Good day" The politician going door to door Says "No vote means more to me than yours" Ask the birds singin' I am The Man You know I'd win if I ran |

I like your toothy smile,
it never fails to beguile. Whichever way the wind is blowing I like the way this is going. I like the color of your hair, I think we make a handsome pair. I can only see my love growing I like the way this is going I like to watch TV with you, there's really nothing i would rather do. Then maybe we can go to bed, get up and do it all again. I like the way your pants fit, how you stand and how you sit, whatever seeds that you're sowing, I like the way this is going. I don't care about the past, none of it was made to last, it's not what who you've known, but who you're knowing, I like the way this is going I like the way this is going. |

How does a little baby know how to smile?
How does a cat land on his feet? Why does it feel like you've been here before? How do the two perfect people meet? Pain in my heart, twistin' like a knife Disappeared just overnight Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la How does a mother wake up in the night When she knows her daughter's sad On the other side of the earth? How does she know the kind of day she's had? Ghosts flyin' all around my life Sent a message both bold and bright Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la How does a man lose all that he loves And find the strength to rise above Havin' nothing to call his own? How does he find that he still has love? No more sorrow, no more strife Always some daylight followin' the night Good morning, mystery of life La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la La la la la la la la |

The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly A caterpillar to a moth before I die I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound I knew my feet could never leave the ground I went about my way, unsteady and afraid How could I know I was headed for this day? All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown A branch to rest upon A place to call my own Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say But it was him who brought me to this day All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days And the weeks And the months And the years of my life It was all worth it To be here now I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free |
