But I wont smoke my last cigarette, and I wont do no bad deeds |
I suppose that I could fly away |
"Pocket Pool" It’s obvious as ever, and it’s been obvious til now I got a half that’s better, and I’d like to show you somehow Got two bits in my pocket, got one more on my mind Why not just reach in and pull out All the bits that you can find So you say you’re scared but that don’t mean no You got me feeling like I just can’t bear to let go And I got less than but I’d somehow like to share The world seems just so dangerous out there Don’t worry about a thing, simply leave that to me Like someone else’s mail that you really wanna read It’s driving you wild but you wouldn’t ever dare The world seems just so dangerous out there |
"Inside My Mind This Time" I said I’m broke down, put my name on your list Turn my smile to a frown, my frown to a fist Resist, exist as is for this is no fantasy Baby cry out now, if you feel the urge You got nothing but ears, but have you heard The word is out now, and it’s been knocking down doors So color me pink, or color me red Instead of a head on your plate, for God’s sake There’s one choice to make, so don’t fake or you’ll end up leaving Lord I got nothing but time, you’ll find my mind confused I feel antsy as hell, but also down with them blues If you could spend a day in my shoes You would figure it out and help me choose Cuz I’ve got my pride, inside my mind this time Pushing and shoving, something for nothing I’m in a bind I drive by my alibi Pick him up, no he’s got a ride I’m on my own this time Some may say I’ve got myself to blame To them I say that I am simply insane I waste away my pain and my brain Cuz throughout my days they’ve been one and the same There’s something wrong in the world tonight The light doesn’t even want to put up a good fight Despite my sight I might just take my flight Out of the darkness because I need my light There she is standing at the edge of the road Now there goes my sanity and my soul I showed her my end and now I got to fold Now I’m in more debt than you know It seems unfair, but apathy’s my escape The way we go on is just to take and to take I love to love, and I hate to hate But it really doesn’t matter cuz it’s all the same |
"Catalyst" It’s like I’m riding away from something, and straight to nothing A wall of sin to hide behind Straight from nothing, gonna start something To stop this wasting of my time But it’s all red rover in my head Close my eyes and hide under the bed But it’s all right, it’s okay to feel that way It never gets to late to kneel down and pray But its all right I can’t help feeling like the catalyst |
"The Ice Cream Song" If there is no way for me I’d like another taste to be Soft as sugar and as sweet Easy to find and half as cheap as you I need just to wait it out But I want to scream and shout Instead I’ll call up my good friend Whose creamy ice will not defend you She said I’d like to get away I’d like to be away from here But you’re there, I want more And I need more just to think how this Effervescence has taken over my life I need something to help me sit And think it out, and deal with it Creamy ice won’t let me down And will taste better than when I was around you |
"Race Car Driver" I told her that I was a race car driver I told her that I loved to drive real fast I told her that I got her plates And if she tried to run she couldn’t get away I told her not to even ask My place was not that bad It had a decent system with a bed in back And not half bad company And though we had our fights The time we passed was not just night Living seemed to be easy One day she ran away She left me here in a terrible state I had to get back on the highway The cars, they past, they came Sometimes they’d slow down to see my face I didn’t need them anyway |
"So Good So Bad" Took a walk through Washington Park I had my mind on my plan I was looking to buy a spark from A long-haired Jamaican man He was looking tired and beat and He smelled a lot like smoke I took a hit of his sticky sweet and It almost made me choke Later on that night, I was tweaking Heard a knock on the door Thought I heard the 5-0 creeping So I hit the floor I was down on the ground for a while When, to my surprise The door opened and I was greeted with a smile And a pair of dark brown eyes When I’m at home I lock up the door and I unplug the phone She’s always there I love the love, but just stay out of my hair I can’t get no rest She never leaves, she’s thinks I’m the best That she’s ever had Who knew that good could get so bad We were in my bed, getting busy She was screaming my name From that hit I was still feeling dizzy But she wanted more of the same I pushed her off and I told I was done I hoped she wouldn’t be mad She got back on cuz she wanted more fun so I kicked her outta my pad Took a walk through Washington Park I had my mind on my plan I was fixing to buy some spark from A long-haired Jamaican man He was looking tired and beat and He smelled a lot like smoke I wanted all of his sticky sweet but I was broke |
"Ratio" Check my ratio How high does it go Check the back of the line Then check my design Check these words I throw They’re all ones you don’t know Pick up all my hints and then Dust for fingerprints I’m never really sure what I want I’m never really sure what you’re saying I never ever want to be forever be a part of the Way you seem to shut me down Check my bass guitar See what these phat skillz are Check my kick and snare Then check your underwear Check my ratio How high does it go Make sure those boots will fit So you can walk through all my shit |
"Friends With Benefits 3 " So we were cruising on down the strip After some stripping of our own She said “could you stop right here for a second, baby? I need to use the phone.” I slowed down and steered to the right I felt tired, ‘twas well past nightfall When I leaned back, she grabbed my receiver, baby What happened to that call? She said “come on, you know what I meant. I wanted to borrow your tool.” I said “sorry, but I’m out of gas. I need some time to refuel.” Her plan had sprung a flat, So I sat and thought for a while Then I slipped my hand into the glovebox, baby That certainly gave her a smile |
"Formality" I must be crazy, or out of my mind I must be crazy, to think that you could be mine We played for a while, it’s all well and good Now let’s walk the mile, like you know we should I’m running out of time, I got my reason I got my rhyme It’s true you ain’t just a friend of mine so hear what I say I won’t tell you more than twice This don’t depend on the drop of dice You say you won’t now, but I just might So stop playing games I cant help feeling this is formality Your ground is breaking but your foothold is me So strange I’m thinking but we just gotta be You cried for help, I wanna answer your plea So take the key and unlock the door You might get more than you bargained for Gave you some but know you wanted more, you know what I mean Gimme a signal, Lord, gimme a sign You may not like what you’re bound to find If you don’t know, we’re running out of time It’s time to be free |
"No Big Thing" It’s no big thing, I just cut my losses And read them while I pick them up It’s while I sing, I can gauge my tosses Into the back of a pickup truck And wonder why I slip over myself And get back on my feet without your help You should know when I’m this low I cant help nobody else It’s hard enough trying to help myself When I’m above and you’re below I cant get up off this shelf At least you’ll know how I felt Same old song, but now everybody’s dancing We’re singing out over their heads It’s been so long, too much damn romancing And sleeping all alone in bed I wonder why you won’t leave me alone My eyes are shut and I’m sinking like a stone |
"Don't You Dare" You may have had the best of them, but to the rest, well I suggest to them That they pack their shit and stay out of your way Cuz ever since you came around, things have been looking up but staying down And again I’m left with nothing to say So I stand against the wall with my hands in my pockets Just waiting for the world to melt away Cuz I could be losing it And I could be losing you Don’t you dare break this down Don’t you dare, cuz you know that I’ll be hanging around Standing by, telling lies So I watch you go, but I’m not saying nothing Just waiting all my life to catch your eye Once I got elevated, it was all easy I mouthed off and hit knowledge cuz it pleased me But life wound down to the ground sound So every single breath was just another way to seize these Feelings and dealings that clouded my brain And every day I pray for rain but I lie and stay dry Dry and distant, because I missed it It was right in front of me and I dismissed it |
"Runnin' From Yesterday" When the sun goes down, my hopes come up I’m gonna leave this town after I drain my cup I’m in a spot of trouble I’m afraid that I’m gonna have to pay Cuz I’m runnin’ from yesterday Well I’m not an old man, but it seems like every other day Has got me kickin’ that can, push my face into the fray I ride the lone trail and kick my feet into the dust And every town I go through, they say “just get away from us” |
"Time On My Hands" When the sun is in my eyes A new breed of problem can arise Color the air with a white light blanket The summertime scent leaves the wind untainted Spin it on back until your partner fainted Trying to respond Cut the tightrope and watch the sound come over Wherever you face puts the dark on your shoulder Your secrets are waiting right inside this folder Watching all along But you won’t have to wait And I won’t have to hate The way the sunlight hits me when it falls upon my face I got too much time on my hands And it’s a long way over from the field to the stands I twist around my feelings for what it commands And it’s ugly Comb the cobwebbed countryside Scatter your seeds both far and wide Deal with the heat and keep your wits around you Take a seat and let the water flow down through The space that lies where the cold surrounds to Where I rest my head Coming up drunk and wait for sleep to go slowly Float and you glow like you were everything holy Look at it spread like a carpet below me Right beside my bed |
"Cardboard Love Song" And the radio plays cardboard love songs I hate And though I may complain they’re the same, I listen anyway And the TV shows don’t, it’s not they cant but they wont They give a plastic plotline that I eat up per dose I swear I felt alive, swore you would decide I headed back inside, I’d made up my mind Cuz this time I stand up, and next time I stand down And when my mind is made I cant guarantee it won’t change You swore you’d tell the truth And I’d always follow through I have some shit to do Before I split in two Cuz I can’t bear to see all the bad things about me Could it be I need to believe everyone believes in me? |
"Full Of It" Back in the day, I slept with the sunlight shining through the shades in my room Hitting the carpet with dots that weren’t dark while the ghosts tried to hum a new tune It was an old man, old men, old women, children Anything my mind could give shape Exhaustion taking its toll, I decided I would roll So I covered my jacket with reflector tape It made me feel safe when it came to twilight The cars could see the glow on my back, but then I started to think, I’m an easy target For anyone who wanted to attack The perfect crime, kill the misunderstood, and people will say it had to be They might cry at the grave and I might have been saved if anyone really knew me So now I’m foiled, coiled like a spring waiting on a vulture’s wing Seeing what tomorrow may bring And maybe if you’ll be there to see it They call it shit, and I’m full of it They call it certainty They call it fear, and I’m stuck in here It’s not where I’m supposed to be They call it once, they call it twice They call it every night And sometimes it feels like I’m living on an angel’s wing I was a kid, I was the reason for breathing, I was the little shit who hit and broke up the teacher’s meeting I was life, and I was pissed, I was the pen knife that slashed your name off the list I was drugs, and I was loving it I was above in it, was struggling before you started shoving it I was hate, and I was anger, I was the guy who wandered aimlessly and called himself a stranger I was darkness, I was death, I was the first and the last breath But what’s left in this empty life but light So now I’m foiled, coiled like a spring waiting on a vulture’s wing Seeing what tomorrow may bring And maybe if you’ll be there to see It They call it light, I call it loneliness They call it life, I call it loneliness |
