You've told me maybe a thousand times A smart girl would've recognized There isn't any business in the street But some nights, Daddy I catch you wrapped up tight like a sleeping bag You're softly twisting a pinata suspended out of reach But I know with one good slap I could take care of that But who wants to loose the beast of spring? I guess it started off slow But it's picking up speed And it's gaining on me Like a carnivore Daylight catches me by surprise Almost every night And kicks my way another hole to sleep I guess it started off slow But it's picking up speed And it's gaining on me Like a carnivore
Take a look around This is what it's now It's a little bridge now baby It's a little bridge now Just a photograph Kinda makes me laugh It's a little kid now baby Some little kid If I could solve your problems What do you think I would be? One stupid seagull picking styrofoam up out of the sea Don't have time Don't have time Don't have time for all your problems? Why don't you solve them? Take a look around This is what it's now It's a little bridge now baby It's a little bridge now Just a photograph Kinda makes me laugh It's a little kid now Pudgy dumb little kid If I could solve your problems What do you think I would see? All of my beautiful banquet receipts have been layed out for me It's been played out for me. Don't have time for your fear your truth and your queer little feets. and your joy and your sweet little boy. And you're trapped in your sphere. I'm sorry but, noone's home. I couldn't hear you, and now I think I've lost you. I could have made it easier and you would think that's good. Don't remember feeling older any worse than feeling wooden and alone. Wooden and alone.

I had a dream, and you were in it. You ran a race, but you didn't win it. And I wasn't sorry to see you lose I would have paid good money, to have them grease your shoes Grease lightning, going no where at all It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall You spent your life expecting me to watch So each time you slipped down, I cut a lower notch. So I wasn't sorry to feel you slide. If this is your body, I'm a thorn in your side. Grease lightning, going no where at all It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall If you think that it's gone and forgotten, then you're wrong Grease lightning, going no where at all It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall Grease lightning, going no where at all It was frightening to watch you skid, right into a fall
The last time I spoke to my aunt before she died She was describing to me this incredible owl that was sitting in a tree It meant nothing to me, but it means a lot more now Cause I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for the bird I'm waiting already, I know its my turn. All those cigarettes, alcohol this body's been through You're gonna know for sure when the bird comes for you. The last time I spoke to my __ (om?) before he died It was the very same week, one week before her. He was sitting alone in the study on the phone When a giant hawk flew by Said I'm Waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for the bird. I didn't expect to be noticed or heard. Oh Elizabeth help me I can't find the room You're gone for sure when the bird comes for you. Oh it is scary, and dark. It's cold to the bone. My body's not ready for my mind to learn I've just been consigned to rot here in the earth Said I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for the bird. I've seen it three times now, there's nothing to do. So don't be surprised if the sky's bright and blue When the white bird of Texas comes barreling through
You want me home, But I'm gone all night. And we've probably been in Some kind of fight. But if that's not real And that's not right... And I'm beginning to see the light Yes I'm beginning to see the light When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel To see the light in your face better And if god would only listen, He would surely create us A hope of his everlasting grace. And I may be young, But I still know The things you put down Can rise from below And I can hardly believe You would lay this at my door 'Cause I have heard that song before Yes I have heard that song before When all the stars up in heaven were rushed by an angel To see the light in your face better And if god would only listen, He would surely create us A hope of his everlasting grace. You want me home, But I'm gone all night. And we've probably been in Some kind of fight. But if that's not real And that's not right... And I'm beginning to see the light Yes I'm beginning to see the light
Oh my god (oh my god) I've been saved I saw the light today and it flung me back to the edge Oh my god What are you asking of me? What have I done to you lately that could make you treat me so badly? Oh my god I've been sitting by the fence Wondering which one of you I'm going to visit in the end? This is the world, brother, as you made it to be Whatever in it of strife and pain, you put there for us to see For us to see For us to see And I see it That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh Yeah that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh Yeah that's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh Yeah that's the way, uh huh uh huh, you should wash your hair first, uh huh uh huh I'm going out tonight, gonna get it on I'm gonna go to the bar Gonna spend all my money, innit that funny?

What's that piece of ass I see walking over here? What's that piece of ass to me, who is she standing near? And when I walk on a cyclone You should see it get rolling Over my heart and emotion inside me They go rolling inside me Hold me close and never let me go All my life I've wanted you to know A few things 'bout me I feel beautiful today Lovely, beautiful Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, what's on the heel? Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday What's on the heel, what's on the heel? And when I walk on a cyclone You should see it get rolling Over my heart and emotion inside me They go rolling inside me Put it on the stereo and play All my life I've wanted you to say A few things 'bout me I feel beautiful today Lovely, beautiful Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday Saturday, Saturday, what's on the heel? Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday What's on the heel, what's on the heel? And when I walk on a cyclone You should see it get rolling Over my heart and emotions inside me They go rolling inside me And when I walk it's a riot You should see the commotion A hundred people drowning in oceans inside me They go rolling inside me Inside me Inside me "That's for Cindy Crawford."
I need a ride, need a ride Need a ride from you I need a ride, I need a ride Need a ride from you Well, I don't know but I've been told The road to Heaven is paved with gold And if I die before I wake I need a ride, need a ride Need a ride from you Sticks and stones can break my bones And boys can make me kick and moan But when I want it auto-drive I get a ride, get a ride Get a ride from you I get a ride, I get a ride I get a ride from you Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep And if I die before I awake I hope the Lord won't hesitate To pluck my coffin from the ground He need not heed the neighbors now And throw me up for all to see The flies of August swarming me I get a ride Ninety-eight-point-five Positive t-cell regeneration
I can't remember the last time that I felt good for more than a week I mean really good, for more than a month 'Cause I'm chasing a dream And sometimes a dream doesn't set you free Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave And I think that's what's happened to me 'Cause I'm searching almost every day blind And I'm walking through my past Like a madman hoping to find A good list of reasons to know that I'm special To know that I'm different To know that I'm better Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave Sometimes a dream is what makes you a slave
I don't have what it takes to stay with you And I'm leaving in under ten days, it's not what I'd planned But anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go I won't find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad And all the cars on the road are driving away from here But I'm still looking under my nose to see who I am And anywhere I go, standing at any kind of show I won't find anyone who can tell me what I need to know That's not how it's done And anyway, you know, by and large anywhere I go I won't find anyone who loves me enough to make you look bad If I ever pay you back If my money and wallet's intact I will probably be in a box lying down Loosely suited in black If I ever pay you back If my money and wallet's intact I will probably be in a box lying down Loosely suited in black
Saw your car, so I know you're here It's been such a long time, looking totally weird But I don't remember why Pull the trigger and die What a beautiful day for a drive Not a cloud left in the sky Why don't you give me a ride to the studio I'll get you high I'll get you high [sung to the tune of the "Flintstones" theme:] Bimbo, meet the bimbo She's a modern stone-age family Drowned out, thrown out of Glencoe (sp?) She's a face without a history Now that cat will stay out for the night Fred gets in a terrifying fight We all back down and beg him not tonight Go in the living room and dry your eyes Dry your eyes In that old familiar valley Where I have dumped my heavy load Mom and Dad sit back in the loveseat From too much loss, from too much hope What a beautiful day for a drive Not a cloud left in the sky Why don't you give me a ride to the studio I'll get you high I'll get you high
Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down Butterfly lets her wing brush past your shoulder I know you know her around by the way she's so familiar You keep bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down Keep bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down All the time you were telling me you loved me You've been sleeping around And the shame of it hangs above me like a cloud You're bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down Bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down I'm hearing lies I'm feeling the sting of surprise I make myself stand up and leave And turn my back on your hollow pleas Let it ride Let the wind blow past my shoulders Let the road like a ribbon unwind And the pain of it make me older Let the world keep bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down Keep bringin' me Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down Down, down, down
