Downer

Nobody likes you very much
In fact nobody likes you at all
Nobody cares about care about
You weird old oddball
You live in a dark, dark world
Where the worst shit always happens
And when a good thing comes along
It doesn’t send you snappin’
You’re downer
D-d-d-d-d-downer
Wherever the sun is shining
Well it ain’t shining down on you
Every day is a crappy day
Where you shake your fist and rue
Never could quite understand
Why couldn’t see your own good luck
There were a multitude of them
But you didn’t seem to give a fuck
Nobody thinks about you much
You barely rate a single blip
People would rather talk about the weather
Or engage in odd brinksmanship
Don’t know why you were so dour
Or why harped on tragedies
Just wanna slap upside the head
And kick you in the knees
We will get along well without you
You and your stupid face
Enjoy your miserable so-called life
From the rest of us in the rat race

A Love That Wounds
04:57
|
|||
It hurts me down deep
Down deep in my deepest part
It hurts me through and through
It breaks my heart
It breaks my spirit
It leaves me blackened and blue
What can I do to defend myself
To defend myself against the pain
It’s a love that wounds
It’s a love that wounds
And wounded is how I feel
It’s a wound that won’t heal
It’s a love that wounds
It’s a love that wounds
It cuts me up
And leaves me bleeding
No band-aid is big enough
I scream and cry
Feel like I’m gonna die
Yeah you can say it’s pretty rough
What can I do to keep from falling
Falling into the abyss
I don’t wanna be a victim
Wanna be steely and strong
Don’t wanna be a loser
But it’s been this way my whole lifelong
You can call me a weakling
A weakling with no spine
And I guess it kinda looks that way
But I can’t stand up
For falling down
From now until Judgment Day
Don't just stand there
Will you throw me a rope

Don't Turn Me Down
05:06
|

I know what I’m asking
I know it’s a lot
I’m everywhere you are
Johnny on the spot
Try to deny me
Try to fly by me
Down turn me down
Don’t let me go
Don’t shut me out
Like Jericho
Don’t turn me down
Don’t shove me away
Lay down your arms
Armistice Day
Not wanting for much
Barely make a peep
I’m right over here
Watching you sleep
I hear you snoring
Truly adoring
Lay down your arms of love
And surrender to me
Lay down your arms of love
And love me peacefully, yeah
Wish you could love me
Like I love you
It’s as deep as it gets
So deep and so true
Open up the gate
Check and checkmate

Inseparables
04:38
|
|||
I had been waiting for you
But I just didn’t know it
Seems like I dreamed you up
And from those seeds I sow it
I knew it right from the start
I recognized your face
A familiar foreign body
In a forever embrace
I feel you in my bones
I feel you in my heart
Resist if you will
Nothing can tear us apart
Inseparables
You are here and you are not
Your presence is absence
It drives me stark raving mad
And all that crazy nonsense
Inside me there’s a longing
That fills me with frustration
Without you I’m alone
Left to lonely masturbation
I’ve known you forever
Though I don’t know you at all
Such a crazy conundrum
Way beyond my wherewithal
How can we be together
When we are always apart
What I think with my head
Never matches up with my heart

Lights are on across America
They are turned up high
But still we don’t see what’s in front of us
There’s nothing beyond the sky
All we gotta do is flip a switch
And there we go
Suddenly it’s all too real
Suddenly we fall like a domino
On the other side of the world
Someone meets a tragic end
On the other side of the world
It's hard to comprehend, hard to comprehend
We’re living in questionable times
Yeah, strange days indeed
The dream dead, the spirit lost
You can almost see it bleed
How can we live with our demons
How can we turn away
We can build ourselves the highest wall
But we can't keep the monsters at bay
Lights are on across America
But it looks like nobody's home
From New York City to the Golden Gate
To where the buffalo roam
On the side of the world
There’s heartache and misery
It's like nothing we’ve ever known
Nothing in history

Good to Go
04:18
|
|||
Got my stuff
It's by the door
I am pacing across the floor
I am ready to depart
Got my tickets, got my key
Went to the toilet for one last pee
And I am ready to start
The whole wide world is at my feet
Who's to know who I will meet
I am ready
I am good go
Wanna get get gone
Good to go
Gone before dawn
I'm all set, paid my debt
I am good to go
Wanna leave here
Good to go
I have no more fear
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Planned for this for all my life
Say goodbye to my kid and wife
I am heading out the door
The cab's out front
He's honking is horn
My wife gives me a look of scorn
I'd say sorry but what for
The whole wide world is out ahead
Gotta find it before I am dead
I'm so ready
Won't you help me with my trunk
I know you think I'm full of bunk
My plane is out on the runway
Won't look back no how no way
This is it I'm ready to fly
I am letting go of all my old ways
Tossing off all the bad old days
Looking up at the blue sky
The whole wide world is right before me
The kind of world you can't ignore me
Yes I'm ready

Down to the Bone
05:29
|
|||
Never felt no pain like this
Not like nothing
Not like nothing I’ve ever known
It’s like my blood is on fire
And I hurt
I hurt down to the bone
Just wanna jump
Just wanna jump
Just wanna jump out of my skin
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready for the loony bin
I am spinnin’
I am spinnin’
I am spinnin’ like a cyclone
How I feel it
How I feel it
How I feel it down to the bone
I am splayed here on this couch
And my guts
My stinking guts are on full display
It’s not what you'd call a pretty picture
No it’s not
It’s not something even slightly OK
I am crying like some kind of baby
‘Cause I’m still
I’m still that baby who got no action
Looking for what I can get
Looking for anything
But I don’t get no satisfaction

Now I See
06:12
|

These are the eyes
These are the eyes you gave me
And I see
I see with clarity
This is the world
This is the world you showed me
And it spins
It spins freely
This is the truth
This is the truth you gave me
And I wear it
I wear it like a badge
This is love
This is love you shared with me
And I feel it
I feel it in my guts
This is the food
This is the food you fed me
And it filled me
It filled me to the brim
This is the vision
This is the vision you showed me
And I took
I took a look around
Now I see

A Good Final Sealing
03:44
|

What you say is what you say
It’s not the same as what you do
You may think it’s all the same
But that’s not being true blue
See you 'round
Best of luck
I wish you on your merry way
You made mistakes
You screwed up
Now you are gonna pay
What you say is what you say
And you say it with skill
You got yourself a tricky game
Fuck, marry, kill
What you do is what you do
You’re practiced at sleight of hand
Don't ever think that I don’t see
From the last row of the grandstand

Dear Annette,
05:06
|

Dear Annette you passed away
Seems like we spoke only yesterday
I want to tell you
You left me brokenhearted
But I didn't have the chance
Before you departed
We can only dream forever
We can only dream forever
Dear Annette life can be cruel
You know that
You were no fool
Why all the heartache and misery
Did it really happen
Or is it my memory
Somewhere beyond the blue horizon
You are waiting with an open hand
Somewhere beyond the blue horizon
You are living in a dreamland
Dear Annette you hurt me bad
The stuff you did still makes me sad
We can never go back
And undo it
I can't believe
You made me live through it

A Love That Heals
04:21
|
|||
That I never got before
What is it that you make me feel
Now and for evermore
Just want a little honesty
Actually I want a lot
You can give me what I need
And untie my Gordian knot
I want a love that heals
A love that heals my pain
I want a love that heals
Darling, danke schoen
I want a love that heals
Love that heals
I know you can make me whole
In a way that's never been done
I know you can part the clouds
And bring me a little bit of sun
I know you can handle the pressure
That’s been building up inside of me
I’ve seen just how strong you are
Against my storm of anarchy

Shame
05:40
|
|||
I feel bad ‘bout everything I done
I feel bad if I caused you pain
I feel bad that your life is a mess
That you live with constant rain
Wish that I could it make it better
Wish that I could light your flame
But that I can’t, that I can’t
Don’t you know that it’s a shame
Of all the people I’ve ever known
I think I’ll love you best
You had such a good heart, such a good heart
You made me feel blessed
I feel bad that you’ve lost your way
I feel bad that you’re all alone
I feel bad you ain’t got no one
On the other end of the phone
Wish that I could make you laugh
Wish that I could bring you game
But that I can’t, that I can’t
Don’t you know that it’s a shame
I feel bad you got no money
I feel bad you lost your job
I feel bad you can’t catch a break
You’re feeling like a dumb ol’ slob
Wish that I could help you
Wish that I could bring you acclaim
But that I can’t, that I can’t
Don’t you know that it’s a shame
