OK, You Win

You're good, I'm bad
Yes that's been made abundantly clear
You're smart, I'm dumb
You live a life without fear
You're rich, I'm poor
I will never own a house on a hill
You're happy, I'm so sad
Wish you'd lend me some of your goodwill
But you don't give a care
Must be nice to breathe the air up there
OK, you win
I give up, I give in
OK, you win, you win
Nothing off my skin
You win, yeah, you win
Your car, goes fast
While mine sits in a ditch
You got no beefs
While all I ever do is bitch
You believe you're blessed
And it appears that you are
I believe I'm cursed
I never had myself a lucky star
Some people have all the luck
While others have lives that suck
If you want to be just like me
It's as easy as one, two, three
You must change all that you have been
Then maybe one day you too might win
OK, I win
Won't give up, on't give in
OK, I win, I win
I have changed my skin
I win, yeah, I win

Hear My Name
04:46
|

|
I am dialing
From across the cosmos
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
I am the wind
I blow right through you
You are near me
You are near me
Hear my name
It is calling to you
Hear my name
Am I getting through
I am beaming
From the highest tower
Hear my song
Hear my song
I am the stars
Shining down on you
All your lifelong
All your lifelong
I am me and I am you
Together we two
I am billowing
Like a sail in a breeze
Can you feel me
Can you feel me
I am hurting
In search of solace
Will you heal me
Will you heal me

This Is It
04:41
|
|||
|
All those things that we thought we knew
They are gone, gone, gone
They got taken away from us
In a terrible storm
We still wanna put our faith in God, God, God
But he won't keep us
Safe and warm
This is it
This is the ever-loving end
No we can't pretend
We can't pretend
This is it
This is the ever-loving end
Here we go
Here we go
We were weak and we were dumb
And we blew down, down, down
And we couldn't put it
Back to together
We still think we are strong
And we can fight, fight, fight
But we are as flimsy
As a feather
Here we go, here we go
Look out below
Here we go, here we go
It's the end of the show
All those dreams that we once had
They are done, done, done
And there ain't no one to blame
But us, we can kick and scream
But the jig is up, up, up
Don't matter if we fuss

The Culture of Me
05:02
|
|||
|
Who am I
What am I
Where do I fit in here
Where do I come from
Where am I going
Far or near
Well who knows what I really what
And who knows what I need to be
All I know is this one thing
This one thing
This culture of me
I see you
What you got
It feels like something real
When I think
About my lot
I think I got a bum deal
Well who knows what I really what
And who knows what I need to be
All I know is this one thing
This one thing
This culture of me
I don't know
Who I am
Don't seem to have a past
I make it up
As I go along
Just hoping it will last
Well who knows what I really love
Who knows who's in my family tree
All I know is this one thing
This one thing
This culture of me

Inside This Box
03:35
|
|||
|
Here I am inside this box
Stuck in this paradox
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Wanna get gone
I'm fighting for my life
On the edge of a bowie knife
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Gotta get gone
Can’t stand this place no more
Shoved up inside a drawer
Won’t you help me
Won’t you help me please
It's all dark and unsettling
Don't wanna hear the bullshit you are peddling
Lemme out, lemme out
Set me free, set me free, set me free
C’mon and toss me the key
Set me free, set me free, set me free
I'm down on bended knee
Here I am inside this box
Trying to find the key to the locks
Let me go, let me go
Let go of me
Feeling pretty claustrophobic
Living like I’m anaerobic
Wanna breathe, wanna breathe
Let me breathe
I’m about to lose my mind
Can’t stand to be part of humankind
Wanna get out, wanna get out
Out of here
I am scared I won't escape
Sealed inside with duct tape
Here I am inside this box
Stuck inside this broken clock
It ain't me, it ain't me
No this ain't me
You still see me as I was
Doing things that that guy does
Give it up, give it up
C'mon and give it up
I changed a long time ago
What I change into you don't know
Time to let it all go

The Trouble With Never
03:54
|
|||
|
You say we'll never, never, never
Get back together, get back together
And you say we'll never, never, never
But I know better, now better
The trouble with never
Is that one day never will come
The trouble with never
The end game is zero sum
You say we'll never, never, never
Get on back, get on back
And you say we'll never, never, never
It’s a cul-de-sac, a cul-de-sac
We could live in a different world
And we could live in a different time
And in this different world
And different time
You'd be mine
You say we'll never, never, never
Move on ahead, move on ahead
And you say we'll never, never, never, no
Our love is dead

Duquesne
03:50
|

|
She wore a red ribbon
In her tousled auburn hair
She wrote in her journal
She had a certain savior faire
She came to my door
With a shiny smile as bright as the sun
She said, I know you’ve been waiting
Let’s have us some fun
She came from Duquesne
She said her name was Jane
Now I can’t get her off my brain
She came from Duquesne
She was a dreamer
And I was a part of her dream
I peaked in her journal
To see where I fit in her scheme
She said, He will be famous
And I will go along for the ride
Like John and Yoko
Like when worlds collide
And even though I don’t see her anymore
This girl from Duquesne
She’s still running ‘round my brain

If I Can Hold Out
04:24
|
|||
|
I gotta tell ya
I'm a in a scary spot
I'm too scared to move
The world I knew
It's falling apart
Can't find my old groove
All I want is a little bit of hope
All I want is a little bit of rope
If I can hold out just a little longer
If I can hold out just a little longer
I will be free
The people I knew
They're all gone away
They couldn't take it no more
Too many lies
Too many broken dreams
They couldn't keep score
All I need is a friendly hand
All I need is someone to understand
The truth I knew
It's all been blown away
I don't know nothing now
Can't rely on what I see
No way, now how
All I want is some peace of mind
I seek it every day but I can't find

Unfettered and Free
04:15
|
|||
|
As I wander through this world
I wonder where I belong
There ain’t nothing feels right to me
In fact it feels wrong
I am trying to break away
I’m rewriting my history
I am seeking to find a new home
Somewhere unfettered and free
As I wander these dark streets
Only strangers I find
I wave hi and no one waves back
What happened to mankind
I gotta keep moving along
On this thin stretch of rope
I gotta keep moving along
I gotta have hope, hope
As I live these crazy days
I think the world’s gone insane
I gotta get clear out of here
And never come back again

Sail away, sail away with me
Together you and I will sail away to sea
Yeah, sail away, sail away with me
And we’ll live our love under the mango tree
Woncha come along, come along my sweet little girl
You and I, we’ll sail the whole, wide world
Sail away, sail away with me
Together you and I will sail beyond the shore
Yeah, sail away, sail away with me
And we’ll find a place we never been to before
Woncha come along, come along my sweet little one
You and I, we’re bound to have us some fun
Sail away, sail away with me
Together you and I will find a distant land
Yeah, sail away, sail away with me
And we’ll speak a language we can understand
Oh my lady of the island
You are as sweet as sweet can be
Sail away with me
Woncha come along, come along honeybee
You and I, we find our favorite oak tree

Sugarland

This is the story of Sugarland
It is the town at the edge of town
And all the people living in Sugarland
They were all nowhere bound
No, no one ever told ‘em they could leave
So they stayed right where they were
Yeah, these people living in Sugarland
All their lives blended into a blur
They were snug as bugs in a rug
They spoke the same dialect
And they hung out each and ever day
They were as friendly, friendly as heck
But then one day something happened
Happened down in Sugarland
Yeah this is the story of Sugarland
And how the town met its fate
From the East blew in a slate black storm
And then got way too late
Nobody could see it coming
And nobody knew what to do
The smartest fellers came from all around
With their very own super glue
But in the end their efforts were in vain
And what was left you wouldn’t recognize
Just a bunch of peanut shells
And bones that started to fossilize
Yeah something happened
Happened down in Sugarland

Be Small
06:14
|
|||
|
This old world is a big old world
With big old people running ‘round
They got their big ideas
Hey, what’s the big idea
They make a big old, a big old sound
Tear it down, tear it down, tear it down
Tear down that big old wall
Tear it down, tear it down, tear it down
Be small
There are monsters that just want to swallow you up
And spit you out into a void
Beware, beware
They are everywhere
Don’t you be destroyed
Be humble, be gracious
Only say what you know is true
Be deferential and be selfless
And the world will come right to you
Sometimes it better to shut and listen
And really hear what people have to say
Just let go
Of what you think you know
You don’t always have to get your way
