If I brought to you some comfort would it be enough to make up for the trouble of having me around on this side of town just stirring up the past and dancing up the devil Oh, but who'll be your warm when you are cold and who'll be your friend when you get old? just you when you're walking down the street just following your feet and you're still half drunk and the other half's asleep there's nothing left to spend and what you need cannot be earned and you tell yourself again that no you'll never learn oh just who'll be your warm when you are cold and who'll be your friend when you get old? just the places that you've been and the money that spend the clothes that you have worn and the people that you've met are you If I offer you some solace do you want it in a bottle or a bag or just someone to spend a few precious hours with they're only special 'cause I spent them with you oh you, only you, are the only one that really ever knew when you're walking down the street just following your feet and you're still half drunk and the other half's asleep and there's nothing left to spend and what you need cannot be earned then you tell yourself again that you know you'll never learn oh just who'll be your warm when you are cold and who'll be your friend when you get old just the places that you've been and the money that you spend clothes that you have worn and the people that you've met are you only you are the only one that really ever knew that you, only you are the only one that'll really ever know you if I brought to you some comfort has it been enough to make up for the trouble of having me around on this side of town just stirring up the past and dancing up the devil

Wanna buy a car? Wanna buy a boat? oh the one don't run and the other don't float I kinda like getting older 'cause I'm never gonna die I've seen a lot of things that don't look pretty sometimes I think that life is so shitty but all it takes to make me smile is a smile from you I don't wanna work, I just wanna play I'm not hurting anyone strumming my guitar all day and in my pajamas I wanna play piana when I'm in my birthday suit I wanna play the flute all I really want ta da is blow my harmonica I don't wanna work I wanna play, hey hey All the other kids they went to college took out loans to certify their knowledge but you can't pay anyone to tell ya what I know I sometimes think I'm too in love with myself but I gotta love someone and there's no one else who understands the chorus in my head Somewhere in between all the ups and downs oh you're stuck standing still or moving around well, everywhere you go is where you are So do you wanna buy a car? Wanna buy a boat? oh the one don't run and the other don't float I kinda like getting older 'cause I'm never gonna die

I've always been a strange sentimental the streets I'm an angel, the house I'm a devil but don't try to be bursting into my bubble it won't take you long to find out I'm just trouble I saw from the start that you're bad as me sour on the inside but outside you're sweet we're stuck in a rut, spinning the wheels I don't know 'bout you but I'm getting out of here so Go on get out of my hair we're just tangled up there is no use in trying to revive what has already died When everything falls apart it's just me and my guitar and it'd be fine if you'd harmonize with me but you're off on your own beat and in a different key do you love me or just that I do your laundry oh you do the cooking and I'll do the dishes but what you're feeding me is not that delicious so Go on get out of my life I will not be your wife you don't own me I don't owe you a thing here take back your ring I don't want it I'd just as soon pawn it So is this how it ends? Time I'm leaving again do you think that we can still be friends? (probably not) so Go on get out of my hair we're just tangled up there is no use in trying to revive what has already died so leave and give me back my keys and take back all your stuff I don't want it, I don't need it I've had enough

mama was crazy but you're downright evil she went from bad to worse when she met you now she's gone to heaven where they don't let your kind in oh she's left the world that treated her so cruel how could you take a soul so shattered oh so fragile and in need and turn her broken thoughts against her and leave her lying like a dog out in the street mama was crazy but you're a vampire you tore her down and left her drained I watched the light go from her eyes lord now she's gone and you can't cause her no more pain mama was crazy but you're downright evil she went from bad to worse when she met you now she's gone to heaven where they don't let your kind in oh she's left the world that treated her so cruel

She was left on her own at just 16 she already saw things you'd never want to see she'd have run away from home but there was no home to leave out on the road in the mud and the cold the sky opened up and started to pour down but she just kept walking, singing this song May the joy that you find in this world outweigh the pain of getting born and when those angels call you home may you know that you lived it to the full there's times she was out of her mind poppin' more than vitamins, drinking fortified wine sometimes you've just got to settle for a little piece of mind she had a child then she had three more raised 'em all up, saw 'em all out the door and as each one left she gave them these words May the joy that you find in this world outweigh the pain of getting born and when those angels call you home may you know that you lived it to the full and she tattooed over her scars learned how to laugh in the dark and her constant companions were the blues and this old guitar and sometimes I still hear her voice when it's dark and there's no better choice than to pick it back up and start playing that song may the joy that you bring to this world outweigh the pain of getting born and when those angels call you home may you know that you lived it to the full you made houses into homes you never held back your love and we're still singing your songs

Got you right where I want you got you right in my sights got you right where I can haunt you got you right in my sights where I can keep an eye on you I'm watching everything you do you might call it stalking you maybe you should get a life don't you think it's strange how I keep running into you this way oh it must be fate how I keep running into you this way you happened to be walking out as I was driving past your house for only the eleventh time today you must not have gotten all those letters that I wrote you have not responded to all those letters that I wrote did you like the picture of me that I tossed on your balcony or the one I nailed to your front door? I have friend requested all the people that you know oh yes I still pester all the people that you know I left my wife and child at home and paid five dollars at the door 'cause I heard that you might be at the show don't want any other, I've got to have you by my side one way or another, I'm going to have you by my side I love you so much I could die we'll be together by and by when stalking leads to murder suicide that's not funny we should change it how about he falls out of the tree that he's spying on her from and gets strangled by his binoculars I like it that's the funny ending

I'm in a bad bad mood can't think of nothing I really want to do and all the jokes I never told you and all the punch lines don't connect everyone wants to get theirs even your friends sometimes don't fight fair all the things they never told you and now they say well I just thought you knew has got me in a bad mood they say ignorance is bliss well maybe ignorance is just avoidance of the inevitable truth will come out and wash up and get found I can't forget those eyes all your half-burnt lying by omission I can't forget that you're kind of an asshole but I remember how to just let it go so I just let it go there goes my bad mood I ain't wasting any more life on you I'll move on and write a new song because after all I'm kind of an asshole, too

I'm sitting up with the ghosts just what we're doing I don't know I'm so tired of thinking I shouldn't be thinking about you at all I forget not to think of your face trying to get out of this place just sends my senses so far inside deep into outer space I'd carry you home in my hearse if I only knew where you were are you up in the sky? out in the night? wherever you are, are they treating you kind? If I were to run into you there's no telling what I might do would you step off the path would you bury the ax that's lately been breaking my back So I'm staying up with the ghosts 'cause they're the only ones who know time just stands still when you're waiting to heal up enough to put weight on the bones feels like I'm running away haven't left this room in days lately I'm talking to ghosts 'cause they're the only ones who know

I thought you were the greatest thing the way you talked, the way you'd sing the way that everyone seemed nicer when you were around the way you touched my hand when you passed me the pipe oh everything seemed all right we were young and learning to have fun and you taught me so much I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad I wanted you I wanted you so bad I didn't know just what to do You stood on the table and took the erasers and clapped them together by the smoke detector and set off the fire alarm 'cause you were bored so we all got out of class and we smoked cigarettes hiding underneath the Big Toy and we didn't get caught 'cause we didn't give a fuck and neither did our parents all they could do would be suspend us and then we could stay home and make weird shit into bongs like the traffic pylon we stole from the mall that one time that we went there together we were young and learning to have fun and you taught me so much I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad I wanted you I wanted you so bad I didn't know just what to do Stoner boy your pants are saggin' down but it's not 'cause you're a prison bitch it's because you're just to skinny and your hair's too long and you're way too cool, too cool for this song 'cause we were young and learning to have fun and you taught me so much I wanted you I wanted you so bad, so bad I wanted you I wanted you so bad I didn't know just what I had just what I had Stoner boy your pants are saggin' down but it's not 'cause you're a prison bitch it's because you're just to skinny and your hair's too long and you're way too cool, too cool for this song

It took too long to write this song I had to wander far from home I rode way too hard for much too long and slept out in the cold I had to find out on my own what no one else could show me how the world gets off with being so damn cruel and why it hurts my pride to be a fool Heard it from a friend of mine who heard it on the local vine that someone stole a certain part of you and it was someone that you wanted them to... So I'll go back to my room and put on my favorite perfume and sit there feeling mean and smelling pretty and do my best to step out of the bull piles up so fast that one needs wings to rise above and not to stink and we may all me sinners but we still need saints and no one's hanging up to take the blame because the guilty ones are not who wear the shame Now I've found a place to hide a shelter from the rising tide to look back out my eyes and see all I survived it took too long to write this song I'm grey and faded to my bones and I still haven't made it out of my hometown but I've still known the cold hard ground and feeling lost with all you've found and I still don't know why the world can be so cruel but I guess it's not so bad to be a fool oh I'm really not so bad I'm just a fool

I'm leaving in the morning won't be back again I will cross the wide river to the far western lands there's devils in the details a rumbling in the sky the moon's hanging low and the water is high I have been every place walked every road worn out my shoes but never my soul 'cause I've known you before and I'll see you again when we meet up someday in the far western lands all the things that were mine consider yours I won't be longing to things anymore I'm trading this boat in 'cause it's full of holes so I'll grow back my wings like a child and just fly I'm ready to go but I'll not hurry off 'til we sing the last song and drink the last drop oh there's more where that came from but where's it all go? sometimes we're sinking and sometimes we float I've finished my work here the mending is done I'me weary of patching the tears I have worn I'm trading this boat in 'cause it's full of holes and I'm tired so I'll grow back my wings like a child and just fly When the last night is over our new lives will dawn you will go on without me I'll go on alone for awhile here I loved you and here we were home and for awhile here you'll stay dear but I'm ready to go

I break my fast with the hair of the dog tell my baby get back home roll my soul in a bottle of fog tell my baby get back home each day worse than the day before tell my baby get back home since my sugar ain't sweet on me anymore begged him not to go oh I begged him not to go Days drag on one to the next break my fast with the hair of the dog I feel I'm cursed, Lord, I don't feel blessed roll my soul in a bottle of fog all that I touch turns on me tell my baby get back home pull back your hand and just leave me be begged him not to go oh I begged him not to go He ain't coming back through that door broke my fast with the hair of the dog so I'm going out, what am I waiting for? rolled my soul in a bottle of fog the nights too long and the beds too cold tell my baby to get back home I'm too damn young to feel so damn old begged him not to go oh I begged him not to go No more staring at the wall I'm getting out of this chair break my fast with the hair of the dog it's the last time I'm walking down these stairs roll my soul in a bottle of fog I'm pulling up dead roots, I'll leave it all behind tell my baby no one's home Nothing left here worth another ounce of my time guess it's time to go oh I guess it's time to go guess it's time to go
