I Been Mistaken Before

Thought I knew what I knew
I believed in what I believed
But I was wrong, I was wrong
Took me years to know what I know
But now I just don’t know
Yeah, I was wrong, so wrong
Thought I was on my way
On my way to a brighter day
But I been mistaken before
Thought I’d figured it out
I had no doubt
I been mistaken before
Mistaken before
I read me a lot of books
I probed and I questioned
But I got it wrong, I got it wrong
Thought I knew the truth
Thought truly understood
But I was wrong, so wrong
What do I know
When I don’t know a goddamn thing
What do I know
What will the future bring
Thought I’d grow wise with age
Thought I’d answer my many questions
But I was wrong, I was wrong
I believed in God
And I followed all his teachings
But I got wrong, so wrong
So wrong, so wrong

Moses on a Pony
04:37

Everyone is always looking for a hero
A hero to set the world right
And everyone is always searching for the one
The one who'll shine down the light
Here he comes
He's a-ridin' through the darkness
With a sound like a big old drum roll
Here he comes
Here comes Moses on a Pony
And he's a-coming to save your wretched soul
Everyone is always looking for a savior
Just like it was prophesised
And everyone is always seeking a saint
Who will appear undisguised
Everyone is always praying for salvation
Insurance for the end of days
And everyone is always casting out sinners
To guard against their evil ways

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 good 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

What Will I Be?
05:43

I look down the road
That long, long road
And what is it that I’m seeing
There are places up ahead
They look kinda strange and new
And lotsa people there are fleeing
Where are they going
What are they saying
Should I get down on my knees
And start praying
I can wander for a million years
I can cry myself a million tears
I can tear myself all apart
And I grow myself a brand new heart
But when will I know
When will I see
When will I get there
And what will I be
What will I be
I look down the road
That twisty old road
And what is it up on the skyline
Bunch of people laughing
Bunch of them crying
Some of them singing Clementine
What are they doing
And should I make likewise
They got their pig on stick
Like in Lord of the Flies
I look down the road
That lonesome old road
And I fear it’s about to come to an end
My car is out of gas
And frankly so am I
No matter what I do I can’t pretend
Better make the best
Of what I got
It’s nothing to you, yeah
But to me it’s a lot

In Some Other World
04:37

The way I feel about it
The way you feel about it
The way we feel about it
This is not our time
This is not our time
But we will have our day
In some other world
In some other world
The way that I need it bad
The way that you need it bad
The way that we need it bad
We won’t fill it
We won’t fill it
But we will have our day
In some other world
In some other world
The way that I want it now
The way that you want it now
It's gonna haft happen now
In some other world
In some other world

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

Dang Blast It
04:28

Where is my hammer
Where is my hacksaw
Where is my vice
Get out of my way
Let me fix it
Don’t need no advice
Where is that hatchet
Where are those pliers
Where is my monkey wrench
I can get this
Won’t fuck this up
Please excuse my French
Snip, snip here
Buzz, buzz there
And a couple of tra-la-las
Dang blast it
Where is my chainsaw
Where is my anvil
Where’s my electric drill
The dryer’s busted
The heat has failed
Life ain’t no daffodil
Where is my scraper
Where is my axe
Where’s my trusty screwdriver
I can do this
I know how
I’m a survivor
Snip, snip here
Buzz, buzz there
And a couple of tra-la-las
Dang blast it
Where are my washers
Where are my screws
Where’s my soldering gun
I'm pretty handy
I’m Mister Fixit
My idea of fun
Where are my bolts
Where are my nuts
Where’s my circular saw
There is a task
You sort it out
Like a jigsaw
Snip, snip here
Buzz, buzz there
And a couple of tra-la-las
Dang blast it

Beyond This Place
04:30

Where I’m living it don’t feel too safe
Like something bad’ll happen
And it likely will
And if I finally get to the other side
Will I find another anthill
Beyond this place
There be dragons
They’re waiting for you
At the end of the world
Beyond this place
There be dragons
Where I’m going it seems uncertain
Have no idea
How it’ll turn out
Wish I could believe
That things’ll get better
But you see I have my doubt
Beyond this place
Is the great unknown
Where I’m bound well I can’t say
I only hope
I will find you there
You can laugh
And call me crazy
Go right on ahead I don’t care

Blue

Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down below
Don’t got no me light
Gonna be another bad, bad night
I am blue, blue, blue
I am on a downward slope
Yeah I am flat out of hope
No one’s gonna rescue me
Not the devil, not the almighty
I am blue, blue, blue
I am not yellow
Not aquamarine
I am not some shade in-between
I am not purple
That’s not my purview
I am blue, blue, blue
Down, down, down I go
Down, down, down below
Don’t got me no luck
I’m the lamest lame duck
I am blue, blue, blue
I am heading out to sea
On a floating pile of debris
Don’t bother sending up no flare
Ain’t no one who give could a care
I am blue, blue, blue
I am not fuchsia
I am not puce
I am not some weird chartreuse
I am not umber
That’s not my purview
I am blue, blue, blue

I Will Never Let You Go
04:57
|
|||
|
I think about you all the time
You invade my waking day
I dream about you in my dreams
You’re inside me like a stowaway
You’ve become my one obsession
And it’s driving me right out of my mind
I just know that when we get together
All the stars will be aligned
Hold me like you really mean it
Hold me with all your might
Take me in your arms
And hold me tight
Tell me what I don’t know
And I will never let you go
Can’t imagine myself without you
I'd be in darkness all the time
There’d be no reason to carry on
There’d be no reason, no rhyme
I see your picture in my head
And I feel your soul right here in my heart
There ain’t no force under heaven
That could ever keep us apart
I don't care that I look weak
Like I can't ever get it together
That any wind that comes along
Will blow me down like a feather
What do I really want from you
Other than everything under the sun
I just hope that we can make it
Before the day is done

Everything Is Temporary
05:32
|

|
One day you will be gone
And no one will remember your face
One day you and everyone that you know
Will vanish from this place
You may think that you really matter
But all your ashes will blow away and scatter
Everything is temporary
Nothing is for good
No you can't rely on anyone
'Cause nothing goes as it should
One day all the beliefs you hold
They won't seem so grand
One day all the things that you've built
Will all turn back to sand
You will stand at the precipice
And wonder how it all turned out like this
You are only just passing on through
On your way from here to there
You are only just passing on through
You are just a wisp of air
One day everything that you love
Will betray you in the end
There won't be no loving husband or wife
There won't be no caring friend
Say goodbye to your dear ego and your pride
It's been a short and bumpy ride
Everything is temporary
Nothing is for good
No you can't rely on anyone
'Cause nothing goes as it should

Home to You

Thought I left you long ago
Well it looks like I thought wrong
Thought I had the strength to let you go
But I guess I was not that strong
So many roads I’ve gone down
So many places I’ve passed on through
But every direction I’ve ever taken
Always leads me straight back home to you
Every night when I go to bed
Well I pray you are not in my dreams
Thought I relieved myself of you
But I’m still bursting, bursting at the seams
I bet that you must hate me
For all of the pain that I’ve wrought
I just hope you can forgive me
It’s all I’ve ever sought
