Am I gonna be alright?
No, I'm not gonna be alright nothin' is alright now am i gonna see the sun come up? or am i goin' down? 'cause everyday i'm here all i feel is sheer agony Friends tellin' me that maybe i need some pychiatric help yeah, they're always so quick to tell you just how to get on with it I look into the mirror and all i see is ancient fear and agony If i could just remember what it was like when i was younger oh, the joy and happiness replaced with hunger and all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow is agony |

When I was born
The doctor said There's something wrong Inside that baby head When I was a boy In Sunday school I told them all That they were fools All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see And so it goes I went into The fortune teller's She wouldn't read My horoscope I go into The laundromat The people all Buy extra soap All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see |

every day I wake up and wonder why I'm alone when i know I'm a lovely guy birds come down from skies so blue see all the beautiful things you do why can't I just get with you every night I carry out my plan pray to god that one day I can be your man birds come down from skies so blue see all the beautiful things you do why cant I just get with.. you'd be my only friend in the world or you could just be my girl and if I do run away from this life it wont be much for me in the afterlife allthough I know that you don't even care I'd rather stay in a world where birds come down from skies so blue see all the beautiful things you do why can't I just get with you |

All my life I had this funny little feeling
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 |

I don't miss where I came from
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 |

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 |

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
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 |

FASHION AWARDS
Let’s go down to the fashion show With all the pretty people that you don’t know We’ll sit down in the velvet chairs They’ll hand awards out for best hair And if we don’t win one, well, then We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair I smell magic in the room Flashing lights and sonic booms Lovely saps all without a care Nobody said that the world was fair And if they did say so, well, then We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair .. Let’s go down to the fashion show With all the pretty people and piles of blow We’ll sit down in the velvet chairs And hang on tight to our bus fare And if it falls between the seats We’ll blow off our heads in despair We’ll blow off our heads in despair .. |

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. |

Ten pounds and a head of hair
Came into without a care What they thought were cries Were little laughs Only looking forward and moving fast The little bundle had arrived And i was happy to be alive In a magic world Long days and dreaming nights Wide eyes take in all the sights A little wonder goes a long, long way Learning where to go and what to say Say hello to your new son Well he sure is having fun In a magic world Every moment's built to last When you're living without a past In a magic world |

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 |

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. |

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 |

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 |

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 |

Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone
Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home Keep on a-knockin' and a-ringin' the bells Knockin' your way straight to Hell Jehovahs Witness, let's not pretend That for one second you are my friend Knock on my door and I'll turn out the light Close the curtains and turn in for the night Jehovah's Witness, why must it be Just when I'm feelin' good I look out and see You're walkin' up in your very nice suit Walk down some alley where they'll give up a hoot Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home |

Mama had a epidural
hoping I would be a girl. The night was black, the sky was booming the darker clouds were surely looming I heard screaming, the doctor shouts, and baby, then.. I came out. And here I am. found my way, down the street. Chicken Hawks, favorite meat The man was big, the gun was loaded, he had cash, but never showed it, I heard screamin', bleeding throat and baby I got on that boat. And here I am. Now im up here in the trees shaking off the bugs and fleas the days are long, the sun is beatin' each day i don't die is cheating Send me some lovin' Send me some lovin' Send it now Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph |

When you called
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 |

Let's ruin Julie's birthday
I didn't get my invite Could be lost in the mail or something I'm gonna be there tonight I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? Let's ruin Julie's birthday I can see right through her act She said something about me And all the cool kids made a pact I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? Let's ruin Julie's birthday What does she have to celebrate? It's not a party if I'm not there Just her stupid friends and a birthday cake I never cared about her anyway And I guess she never cared About me And what do you mean that I can't go? Where does it say that I'm a fool? Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? And what do you mean that I can't go? (What do you mean I can't go?) Where does it say that I'm a fool? (You take me for a fool) Doesn't she know that I'm an exception To the rule? |

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 |

I always was and will be I feel fine, I am resigned to this I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf Got my cares Wrapped up all nice and neat In my suitcase Ill take it down the street To a place with plenty of space for me I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf It blows my mind That people wanna try to get inside my tired head I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf Nobody needs to get too close to me Youll only see this truth I am a lone wolf |

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 |

My timing is off She isn't ready for my love It's all that I got But it's a pretty big thing That she should recognize; The truth between us cannot hide She knows that it's real But the situation doesn't fit I know what I feel And I know that this is really Everything it's all about And I don't have a single doubt My timing is off But sometimes that's how it all works Believe it or not We don't have a choice In matters of the heart; Just gotta be brave enough To love and let yourself be loved My timing is off And I'm not worried 'bout a thing She knows that it's real She couldn't throw it all away For fear of happiness This isn't like that other mess |

NUMBERED DAYS
Daisy I never thought I’d go Crazy But I never thought you so Until now that I see All the crazy things you’re doing Why you wanna ruin it and me? Counting numbered days.. Lately I think you know it’s true That’s it It’s all over, I’m through For a while we can smile For the people that we’re passing And even if they’re asking We can lie Counting numbered days.. .. Looks like the sun is gonna set Know that there’s nothing I regret All the things that I learned Well, I’d like to think I earned it No need to go and burn it down now Counting numbered days Counting numbered days.. |

Ridin' out on the bluemont line Hummin' along old dominion blues Not much to see and not much left to lose And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back I feel like an old railroad man Who's really tried the best that he can To make his life add up to something good But this engine no longer burns on wood And i guess i may never understand The times that i live in Are not made for a railroad man I feel like an old railroad man Getting on board at the end of an age The station's empty and the whistle blows Things are faster now And this train is just too slow And i know i can walk along the tracks It may take a little longer but i'll know How to find my way back |
