A Thousand Times No

Said I'd never talk to you, no, no, no
Not for all the money in Kuwait
Said I'd never play your game, yeah, yeah
For me I could never dream a worse fate
Said I'd never gaze again into your gray eyes
And all of the chaos that they create
No, no, a thousand times no I won't be no fool
No, no, a thousand times no I won't be your tool
No, no a thousand times no
Said I'd never come back home, no, no, no
And that is not no idle threat
Said I'd never give you back
Your dumb old books
Don't have a single shred of regret
Said I'd never play into your perfect hand
That is one most certain bet
I say no but my heart says yes
I say no then I acquiesce
Yes, yes, yes, oh yes
Said I'd never wait around, no, no, no
Not for all the golden bricks in Fort Knox
Said I'd never buy into your tired old lies
Sit ourselves down and have one of our talks
Said I'd never give into your tricky ways
Seal your memory inside a fool-proof box

The Feeling's Mutual
05:19
|

You like me and I like you
It’s simple, fresh
Feels just like something that was meant to be
We get along, get along
And we always have
What we got is love, love, lovin’ to the nth degree
No one can top us, o, no, no
We found the key to paradise
You don’t get to judge
And I don’t get to judge
Don’t that seem pretty wise
The feeling’s mutual, ain’t that good
Ain’t that just about as good as it gets
The feeling’s mutual, ain’t that grand
No regrets, Coyote, no regrets
When we get together the sparks they fly
So many sparks we light up the night sky
Your eyes drill through me
Right through my head
Till what I see is in my mind’s eye
It’s pretty crazy, yeah, yeah, yeah
It’s frankly downright nuts
But I trust you and you trust me
Ain’t we got a lot of guts
Maybe I'm just fooling myself
Maybe I'm just a fool
Maybe I'm just fooling myself
Maybe should play it cool
Let me be your tool
I thought you liked me
What was I thinking
I was just an object to be investigated
You made it clear
There is nothing here
You don't see us interrelated
What was I thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah
That there is world where we exist
I should not delude myself
And I should cross you off my list

It’s hard for me think about it
All that we once had
‘Cause when I think about it
When I think about it
It just drives me mad
All this sturm and drang
All this petty harangue
It just comes down to this
All this pain and woe
All this ebb and flow
It ain’t no wedded bliss
Why do we do it
What do we do it for
When you don’t want me
You don’t want me no more
You don’t want me no more
It’s hard for me to be down with it
No it ain’t no good
‘Cause I just can’t escape it
I just can’t escape it
I’m in your neighborhood
Why don’t you say it
Why don’t you make it real
Why don’t you say it
Tell me how you really feel
It’s hard for me to contemplate it
It just breaks my old heart
‘Cause when I think about it
When I think about it
I just fall apart

I look down on that tiny blue world
With all them crazy creatures running ‘round
They eat themselves out of house and home
Till there ain't nothing found
I watch their weird old TV shows
Lots of violence, blood, and gore
Some witless guy is telling unfunny jokes
And people shouting out for more
What is going on down there
Just gotta know
All them silly vertebrates
Rockin’ to and fro
They act like stupid girls
It’s a horror show
I look down on that tiny blue world
With all them people with their bad behavior
They don’t take no responsibility
Just leaving it up to their savior
They eat a lot of meat
And they eat a lot of salt
And when something goes wrong
It’s never their own fault
They be weird and they be wicked
They be hateful and strange
No matter how much you try to help them out
They ain’t ever gonna change

Die for You
04:48
|
|||
|
Just your face, just your eyes
Make me go insane
Just your hands, just your heart
Fill me with pain
What would I do, what would I do
I'd die for you
Die for you
If you think that I am kidding
Better think again
I want us together
In a life without end
Just your hands, just your voice
Push me to the brink
Just your mouth, just your hair
Can't hear myself think
What do I do, what do I do
I'd die for you
Die for you
If you think that I am kidding
Better think again
I want us together
In a life without end
Just your mind, just your belly
Can't block it out
Just your smile, just your love
Leaves me no doubt
What can I do, what can I do

Rise Up!
04:37
|

|
I know how it feels
What you feel, what you feel
I know how it feels
To be down so low, down so low
You're not alone
No not alone, not alone
I'm right here
In the undertow
C'mon, c'mon rise up
I know what it's like
What it's like, what it's like
I know what it's like
To be cast aside
Cast aside
Take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand
It's right here
It is open wide
I'm with you, you're with me
I won't leave
I'm with you, you're with me
You better believe
I know how it is
How it is, how it is
I know how it is
To be blown apart
Blown apart
Look at me, look at me
Look at me
Give me your soul
Give me your heart

No Way Out of Here
03:44
|
|||
|
I am a prisoner
And there’s no escaping
I rub against the bars
My fingers are scraping
I watch from this bridge of sighs
This beautiful landscaping
There is no way out of here
I am all broken
Shattered all to bits
I stagger about
In starts and fits
Don’t got not purpose
‘Bout ready to call it quits
There is no way out of here
I am so lost down here
No direction known
No I’m not Bob Dylan
Ain’t no rolling stone
In the middle of this city
I am alone
There is no way out of here

Where do you go
When you got nowhere to go
When you got no place to be
What do you do
When you got nothing to do
And all you want is a little sympathy
Who really cares if you find your way
Who will stick around until judgment day
What becomes of the brokenhearted
Just one more soul soon departed
What do you got
When you got nothing at all
When nothing’s ever gonna change
What can you hope for
When you ain’t got no hope
No hope for just a little exchange
How much longer can you hold on
When you got nothing to hold on to
How much longer can you keep going
Will you ever break on through
What can you say
When you got nothing to say
And no one will ever lend an ear
What can you see
When there ain't nothing to see
The road ahead is unclear

The Calm Cool Face
04:33
|
|||
|
Desire fingers me
With a slow fuck on the courting chair
Holding in and letting go
The beeping of the backhoe
It’s all a million miles away
I know you’re out there
I can hear you breathing
And I can hear your sighs
And the calm
Cool face of the river
Asked me for a kiss
I’m awake now
And the landscape unfolds like a ribbon
There’s a ring of fire
With the face of a Cheshire
Makes me break into a laugh
What other choice do I got
But to flap like paper
Against endless corridors
There are choices to be made here
Something I can say I know all too well
Suddenly I got no face
Like foam erasing the human race
I must press my hand against the wall
To draw myself back

Needs
04:24
|
|||
|
You imply that I am weak
I am weak because I see needs
As a part of the human condition
You make me feel feeble and frail
You see me as feeble and frail
Because it's an act of submission
But you are wrong, you are wrong
I got needs
But that don't make me needy
No that don't make me needy
Just gives me energy
I got needs
But that don't make me selfish
No that don't make me selfish
Just makes me calm and clear
You come off all hard and cold
Hard and cold, hard and cold
You seem to see me as someone who is lost
But you don’t know just how I feel
Or why I feel what I feel
The very nature of my holocaust
You don’t get it, no you don’t get it
When I am hungry
I eat and fill my face
When I seek loving
I wanna fill into your space
You must see what I don’t see
'Cause what I see
Don’t amount to too much
I am one train going east
While you are headed way out west
And never shall we touch
It is sad, it's so sad

Under the Weather
04:05
|
|||
|
My thoughts are like a hurricane
Mixed with ghostly static
A draft is pouring on in through the holes in the attic
How many days has it been
Since I last saw the sun
One front follows the next
Till the world is overrun
I’m under the weather
It’s taken me by storm
My body’s got a fever
Outside it’s cold as hell
All my blue-sky thinking
Well it don’t make me feel well
It’s been a long hard winter
Bleak and cold and with no break
Life has come to a standstill
Like being trapped under an icy lake
I’m under the weather
It’s taken me by storm
My skin is feeling itchy
Ain’t no moisture in here
Dried up like a raisin
In this rancid atmosphere
How many years has it been
Since I last felt pretty good
I have long stopped counting
It messes with my livelihood
I’m under the weather
It’s taken me by storm
What a world we are living in
It’s like we’ve all gone insane
Don’t know who to believe no more
Or what I can ascertain
How many days has it been
Since I last saw the sun
One front follows the next
Till the world is overrun
I’m under the weather
It’s taken me by storm

The Answer Is No
02:43
|

I suppose you wanna know
Just how far you can get
I suppose you think
You will get there yet
I'm sad to say
Or rain on your day
I suppose you wanna know
What you wanna know
But the answer
The answer is no
I suppose you want my love
That would be my best guess
I suppose you thought
You heard me say yes
I'm sorry to be a drag
It's really not my bag
But I suppose you gotta know
What you gotta know
But the answer
The answer is no
The answer is no
And it's never gonna not
The answer is no
And it's never what you thought
I suppose you wanna dream
And dream you will do
I won't deny you your feelings
They are rich and true
But there's no denying
And I'm not lying
Well you hafta know
What you hafta know
And the answer
The answer is no
