We don't gamble
we don't do the stock exchange
we paint paintings
we write scenes for the stage

we will talk about well fare
we will talk about sex
talk about the golden prada shoes

Sunday nights that you want her like velvet cake
Sweet heart can bargain half price mistakes
She will go down with her ship like a good captain
You're sitting on the dock playing for an audience of one

Pacing your apartment's linoleum floors
Get a call from an old friend she never liked him before
He will drive all over three lanes while you tight, shotgun

I locked my keys in the car
I’m pleading for some change
The meter treats me like a stranger now
Flashing zeros

I’m juggling a drink too full
While tugging on a leash that you pull
And jogging my memory for

We can beat this, you and me
Just a matter of degrees
I can't calculate this late at night
Honeymooners moving wet cement
They don't know about the walls that rise and rest

Bulldozer
Run right over us

I could argue with a mime
I could argue with a mime
he is reading me the riot act
every line

every lawyer in his prime
every lawyer in his prime
gets nostalgic for the bars

I sold you for parts
You get what you want
Then I'll want it too

I know who you are
Don't know who your not
I don't dare ask

The road, a yellow line unfolds
Jagged then corrodes, Pomona first of all
Machines they rush in a trance
Engines of despair
The taste of desert air
The wheels while we turn
Slowly will burn
Follow me, will you?

Every man I fall for
Drinks his coffee black
Love and hate are tattooed on his knuckles, and
My name is on his back

Every man I fall for
Works the graveyard shift
He kiss me softly to wake me up

Holding out she knows what I'm about
I start to play the silent card
You make this easy or you play me like a shark

Arms folded nose to the floor
If it's got to be a leap of faith
I wish somebody'd push me
That way I'd know who to blame

Treating that right, broken so bad
You made a vow, never get mad
You play the game, though it's unfair
They're all the same, who can compare?
First you lose trust, and you get worried
Night after night, ball after call
Dropping like flies, who woke you up
On the front lawn, smackers turn out

Backseat of your family station wagon
Listenin' to mom
100 years of solitude
and only 12 years old

God make up your mind
God make up your mind
Do you wanna play fair

Thick fog rolls in waves
On the Golden Gate
I was checking my watch
With 7 minutes in my shift

When I spot a black skirt on the rail
Straddling the bar like it's a quater a ride
She's scared to jump but terrified to stay

Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
in the muck and the mile
Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
in the muck and the mile

fell asleep with stains
cake deep in the knees
what a pain

There's nothing to do here
some just whine and complain
in bed at the hospital
coming and going
asleep and awake
in bed at the hospital

tell me the story

There's nothing to do here
some just whine and complain
in bed in the hospital
coming and going
asleep and awake
in bed at the hospital

tell me the story

How's it going to feel when summer ends?
Out of money, out of friends

I've seen enough
Of nothing news
The blacker stain on history
or last laugh blues
Not gonna fight

A swollen tongue, a plastic gun
Red burn from an orange sun
These oil rigs will crack and run
These palm trees will be chopped to a stump

I've wandered, seen visions, I never could fit in
I'm out there, you'll find me, I never lost that easy

All my windows were barred,
The sun made stripes of shades
I was sitting round like a zombie feedin my own face

I was carrying my cheek, I was digging my strange
I was taken you for granted
You were holding the rains

And when my heart won't break
An empty space between my lungs
And when my knees won't shake
I'll drink to find inspiration
Cause I'm a red blooded man
But I can't see behind the sun
(I can't see behind the sun)
A supernatural plan

You were changin’ colours like the leaves in fall
I was savin’ up for the long winter
Summers wind, hideout in my car
When it broke down we didn’t care
We’d figure out another way to get me there

I was supposed to do great things
I’d know the rule’s law
But I wasn’t raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on
I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
If you start from scratch and have to sing,
Just for the fun of it

On the night that my love broke through
On the night that my love broke through
Revelations that came unglued
On the night that my love broke through

Cell doors were opened
Guards step out the way
Prisoners got one acre of land

The crown on my head is heavy on me
They wouldn't know it 'cause they don't wanna see
The skin on my face is turning bright pink
As I walk by, the girls choir whispering

The street that I walk welcomes my feet
With cryptic graffiti greetings to read
The smile on my mouth, it came dirt cheap

Look up from the hymnal, look 'round at the faces of families closing their eyes
We're taking Communion and passing the offering hat around at the same time

I reached for the hat and take all the cash
And slide it into my ragged coat sleeve
And leave in its place a note to explain
All of the reasons that stealing has led me to leave
If there was a worthy cause for to give to

Flash flood, you got too comfortable
So I showed you, who's really in control
You gave all of your savings to the poor

Lightning on the river and you're shivering
With your fishing pole
Same night you bought a ring and you proposed

"Restless"

People wonder, people talk
We're supposed to settle down
How we ever got this far
Without our feet touching the ground
What time is it now where you are?
We follow beats with different drums

Sulkin'
Walkin' 'round the city after dark
Need protection from street thugs
Who clip the tires
And rip the doors off rugs
And cowards

And all this life we've glorified

Suppertime in the hole, suppertime in the hole.

I shamed my family, shamed my home.
(tell my sister, Jane)
Suppertime...
(tell my sister, Jane)

Old Saint John on Death Row,

I try being sweet
It's very deep in me
Now I can only see red on red
My mom's going out with my best friends' dad
She talking loud I can't believe what she said

A sensitive kid [x2]

You wait on letters
Patient for any sign of life
Drinks after dinner
Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades
Can we just speak plain?

you can't cut me loose until you show me
i told u the truth about the old me
and now you use confession as the proof
do what you have to do - go ahead and act the fool

what if in the end you want so bad to forgive
but you cannot forget

Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
How was I supposed to know?

Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!
Something is not right with me!

speak about Greenly
now that she's gone
take my time when I go to bed
and I sleep, Lord
I'm getting over
rolling over
I said can you just wait
to tell me in the morning?

I kissed the kids at noon
then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab
ran up a tab
on 7th and flower

best recital I had to ruin
missed my son's graduation
