Track 1:
I'm afraid of injury, cause this hill's too steep and I'm going down fast
Cat scratch, won't last, guess I never had a chance
Living in a world where everybody's getting something somewhere.
You're telling me I gotta be a little more aggressive
When I'm passive in my nature
And I could never be anything else with you.
I don't know why I'm not singing other women songs
I know you're with another but we really seem to get along together.
Track 2:
Once I knew a man who carved angels out of stone
He was paid for his creations but it chills me to the bone
Drank it all away, put his family on the line
His hands work for the lord but his liver works for wine.
Grandfather and daddy, where did you go wrong?
Grandfather and daddy, I hope I don't end up just like this song.
Once I knew a man whose heart was broke when he was two
His poppa died and this guy didn't know just what to do
His mother left him in a bar with her alcoholic friends
From the day she left him, ____ he'd never feel again.
Grandfather and daddy, where did you go wrong?
Grandfather and daddy, I hope I don't end up just like this song.
Track 3:
ask Jonathon.
Track 4:
I live in a state of preventative arrest, political distress
The emperor's undressed but no one wants to tell him so.
A woman on the street asked if I'd offer her a ride, if I wanted a good time
I didn't have a dime to spare so I kept moving on
The men are in the deserts and the ships are out to sea, the prisons have no key
It's hard to see but I think this life will be the death of me
Oh good god on high have mercy on my soul
Oh good god on high have mercy on my soul, on my soul
I try my best to breathe but it gets harder every day, I'm out of things to say
There's not a lot of money left and no place left to stay
It's raining all the time, seems I've never seen the sun
I'm not foolin' anyone
I'm going nowhere fast and where I am's where I've begun
Track 5:
I always offer to pick you up and give you a ride
You always say you're not going my way anymore
And I don't know how I'll get out of this town with my life
Three rounds left to go I don't know if I'm up to a fight.
You told me that lately you were thinking of taking your life
When I asked where you rolled over and went back to sleep
And then I could tell it had all gone to hell a while back
Try as we may seems that we just can't pick up the slack.
Well you don't keep secrets you never look back
You're never afraid to be bold
It kills me to think that there's no chance in hell
So I throw my cards in now and fold.
And cigarettes stink through the vents in my bathroom at five
God it's too early and I'm no more awake than alive.
And I don't know why but I can't get you off of my mind
I guess it's just women like you are the hardest to find.
You don't keep secrets you never look back
You're never afraid to be bold
It kills me to think that there's no chance in hell
So I throw my cards in now and fold.
I might as well tell you these things that I feel for you're gone (?)
Any excuse just to write you another damn song.
Track 6:
I'm on my own with the pain in my head
I either wish you were here or I wish I were dead.
These pills work just fine but give me pretty strange dreams
Seems I'm losing my mind but things are worse than they seem.
I'll take you to the bottle and you can stay with me awhile where there's no morning
I'll take you by the hand and show you rings in hell you never seen before
The man in the box (?) said things are gonna change
But the hole in my heart always seems to stay the same.
I heard you're bleeding again, I'm glad to know I'm not alone
If you need a bandage, babe, you know I'm always home.
I'll take you to the bottle and you can stay with me awhile where there's no morning
I'll take you by the hand and show you rings in hell you never seen before
I'm on my own with the pain in my head
I either wish you were here or I wish I were dead.
Track 7:
ask Jonathon.
Track 8:
(radio intro)
Highways got nothing on the side streets where everybody moves a little slower
Small town, big hearts, white picket fence, nobody locks their doors
And real life's got nothin on the movies where everything works out fine
Everybody's beautiful in those picture perfect endings, everybody drinks expensive wine.
But these pills got nothing on the oxygen, flows through my blood to my brain
Living life from both sides now and nothing feels the same.
[break, new melody thing]
I got time and time's got me, I still gotta make a lot of history
And travel round the world and the seven seas, I'll die too soon and I'll cease to be.
I'm gonna cease to be (x4)
Gonna start a war gonna catch a disease, I'll hang around your ____ with ____ Japanese
I'll wear a pair of socks that goes up to my knees, I'll die too soon and I'll cease to be.
I'm gonna cease to be (x4)
Track 9:
ask Jonathon.
