Tracks and lyrics

  1. Waiting for Somebody2:52Lyrics
    I don't wanna wear a helmet I don't wanna be waiting for somebody I'm gonna talk to the old man and tell him what somebody said He said that you got heart but we got head Waiting for somebody Somebody said We got ways to make you talk I might settle for the hell of it I'm outside of me Waiting for somebody Who will arrive in the darkness and tell me what somebody said? That same night inside my bed Waiting for somebody Somebody said You're not in time to work things out I gotta tell you that I'm taking you down You don't know what you're doing with that bass On my own I will not regret my big decision We got time to make you wait Waiting for somebody's certainly great Wind up where the music plays I don't wanna seem hell-bent on discovery Waiting for somebody I'm gonna show you the weakness of telling what somebody said
  2. Am3:07Lyrics
    I ripped your sieve I tacked your seat I wished to God you were demoted I never failed to put on my glove Now every night is cats and sodas When will it slide? Am I facing you? You pull that crap 'cause I abhor it I never told and you never knew I was arranging you to whore it I'm never gonna be that stupid man I'm never gonna paint pictures of what I am Am I never told you much of what I wanna do I never got a chance to say I never told you much of where I wanna go And ever since you went away I wait I never told and you never knew I was arranging you to whore it I'm never gonna be that stupid man No I'm never gonna paint pictures of what I am Am I suppose you waited in the pouring rain Images of devils flash to entertain you I must have just mistaken you in your disguise Don't you understand me baby? Open wide
  3. Driving Me3:27Lyrics
    I went walking on the shoulder I wasn't looking but I saw a golden arrow Bright and perfect The sun went down The night came on Don't bother driving me crazy This road could never be that long Somewhere lying in the footsteps I found a life that's not my own An old man wrinkled He looked in my eyes I hit the ground He sent me home Then he said Don't bother driving me crazy 'cause I know this road could never be that long Don't bother shaking me baby 'cause I know this boat is filled with perfection You could wait around to die and wouldn't mind Will you ever wonder why? Or will I? And I said Don't bother driving me crazy Because I know this road could never be that long Don't bother shaking me baby Because I know this boat is filled with perfection Don't bother driving me
  4. Good Bad3:56Lyrics
    I will be at home waiting for you with just a sidewalk in my mind I will be at home waiting for you with just a palm tree underground I won't waste anymore And I'll guide you through the crowd I will be at home waiting for you I've just a torn up sore behind You can fake it good You can take it good You can make it good all around You can fake it good You can take it good You can make it good all around I could still be waiting for you when all the world walks over me And I could still be waiting for you on any drop we'll never ride I won't waste anymore But I'll drop it off the side I could still be waiting for you when all the water fades away You could be bad You are You could be much undercut and lower You could be bad You are You could take me down Take me downtown Hmmm time to get up It must be time to get up Hmmm time to get up It must be time to get up I will be at home waiting for you with just a sidewalk in my mind You can fake it good You can take it good You can make it good all around You can fake it good You can take it good You can make it good all around All around All around the world It must be time to get up Get up
  5. Die for Art4:25Lyrics
    Which type of death I was wondering? When I'm wondering which way to go I'm going up because the higher you climb the less you find I should have walked away I said Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold When I sit down in the dentist chair a light appears before my eyes It's getting bigger baby all of the time It makes me cry Please get the thought out of my head Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold The sun has always made me warm I do believe I'm going there I can't help myself I really shouldn't have to I want so much the wirecoat The wirecoat I want so much I want so much the wirecoat The wirecoat I want so much The biggest thing that you've ever seen A brilliant scheme from my heart I'm gonna ask you for it only one time Who wants to die for art? Well I'll see you in the next world Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother Don't give me the shotgun Mother 'cause I could never be so cold I know that I cannot reform I always take it off the bus I can't accept myself That doesn't mean I want to I had a good idea That's what I'm doing here It doesn't make me happy I could erase it but it's written in ink Oh no I wouldn't want to be sloppy We'll be in trouble if somebody inspects It's the same old stars and the same old wrecks Look at your pictures while you still have the chance I dedicate this song to the American dream
  6. A Part of My Life3:08Lyrics
    I couldn't hardly waste no more time And I could hardly look on your face It's getting harder to come by Harder to come by Harder to come by It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life Life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's coming in with the tide like the fourth of July It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life Life I couldn't hardly waste no more time And I could hardly look on your face It's getting harder to come by Harder to come by Harder to come by Wait Wait It's a part of my life It's a part of your life Sunday Monday Delight It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life It's a part of my life Life
  7. Be Myself2:50Lyrics
    I can't salvage it Myself in a mood Beat my suffering head I can't beat myself I might got it made I am feeling doomed My sign thus proclaims I can't be myself I can't be myself On the way to something that I can't help I can free myself I remember nothing Am I already there? I'm neck deep in it For good I am ruined What use is my threat when no one hears my yell? And when I smooth myself to have it all Almost all erased Mistake my love for the price of alcohol I must be released Diseased I'll be by myself obn the way to something that I can't help I can free myself I remember nothing Am I already there?
  8. One More Chance2:43Lyrics
    I've got one more chance to use my life before it's over I've got one more chance to take my time and put it under I've gotta roll right up to the neon sign I've gotta walk right in and demand what's mine And if you ask nice maybe then no one minds I gotta roll Good gravy gotta roll I've got one more chance to lose it all before it's over I've got one more chance to find my wife a four leaf clover I've gotta roll right up to the neon sign I've gotta walk right in and demand what's mine And if you ask nice maybe then no one minds I gotta roll Good gravy gotta roll I couldn't eat a lot I couldn't sleep much either And when I went outside I was poorly dressed I couldn't wait to make my way out west That's when I wrote this chorus I've gotta roll right up to the neon sign I've gotta walk right in and demand what's mine I'm gonna stay inside where the sun never shines I gotta roll Yeah baby gotta roll
  9. Treat Your Momma1:16Lyrics
    You treat your Momma well You treat your Momma nicely You treat your Momma well You treat your Momma nicely I'm goin' down to the wrecking machine I see your face and I feel unclean I'm alright but I don't know how long I wrote a threat to you I called this song You treat your Momma well You treat your Momma nicely You treat your Momma well You treat your Momma nicely You treat your Momma well Don't have to call in nightly Just treat your Momma well You treat your Momma nicely I'm going down in the usual way I see your face and I feel dismay I'm moving backwards and I don't know why I made a bet with you and now's my time
  10. Wake Me Up3:20Lyrics
    I always knew you were outside I always left without a feeling Don't ever wake me up when I fall asleep I'll never raise my head when I'm down in dreams And if you celebrate like on a holiday You'll never wake me up when I fall asleep It was a big mistake to make a promise that you weren't going to keep I'm getting all fed up And all that human waste around that big old bed Yeah if you hesitate you'll never know you're gone I always knew you were outside I always left without a feeling of being alone Don't ever wake me up when I fall asleep I'll never leave my bed 'cause I am down with dreams And if you conflagrate like it was judgment day You'll never wake me up when I fall asleep I always knew you were outside I always left without a feeling I always knew you were alive I never met a better reason for being alone
  11. Warming Up2:11Lyrics
    I've got myself in a catastrophe It doesn't mean that much to me If you could see what I always see It wouldn't mean as much to me I got it wrong it has to be It doesn't mean that much to me I gotta find my concentric sea It doesn't mean that much to me You could be warming up on the sunny side Warming up on the sunny side You could be warming up on the sunny side Warming up on the sunny side I gotta rhyme what has to be It doesn't mean that much to you Oh yeah All right Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Do you want? Do you want to make me feel alright? Warming up on the sunny side Warming up on the sunny side You got me warming up on the sunny side Warming up on the sunny side Warming up on the sunny side
  12. Every Time (All About You)2:56Lyrics
    Every time I try to walk away something catches my eye Every time I try to get ahead makes me stop and wonder why Every time I listen to my head something tells me not to go too far Every time I get a little break someone takes my heart away Every time I crawl into my bed something's waiting for me there Every time I make a vow to stay day or night you know I'll meet you there or nowhere Wait a minute baby wait awhile Take it underground Every time I take your breath away no one else will be around Every time I make a big mistake rain or shine you know it's all about you It's all about you It's all about you It's all about you It's all about you
  13. Whyler's Not Home3:03Lyrics
    I've searched and I've searched but I've found no point of entry It's a cold hard life and you've got to keep ahead of it yeah You better revise the signs you carry If you want to make it all right take a good minute Suspended columns stacked out of sight When they have fallen sweep them aside I hear the sound of grinding metal outside They got a machine they use for maybe pulverizing wood It goes hhhhnnnnnngggggghhhhhhhh It's making it difficult to write this I've learned to concern with want instead of envy There's an insane race and the thought of it has me running down I'm lying for all the guys named Larry who are lying on their sides Gonna get fried Suspended columns stacked out of sight When they have fallen sweep them aside I hear the sound of grinding metal inside And I cried Whyler's not home Why did I remember? Whyler's not home Why did I remember? Whyler's not home La la la la la la
  14. The Last Train3:15Lyrics
    Tonight I'm gonna take you out I'm gonna take you out one last time But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out and that's fine But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out Yeah it's too late to take the last train now I'll take the coward's way out Tonight I'm gonna take you out I'm gonna take you out one last time But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out and that's fine But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out Yeah it's too late to take the last train now I'll take the coward's way out Tonight I'm gonna take you out I'm gonna take you out one last time But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out and that's fine But it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out And it's too late to take the last train now I'll take the coward's way out Tonight I'm gonna take you out I'm gonna take you out one last time And it's too late to take the last train now We're sitting this one out and that's fine
