Walking Paranoia
03:51
|
|||
Started softly, sickeningly sweet
I spent the whole day, staring at my feet
I contemplated, getting out of bed
I started walking, still in my head
Looking out the window, nothing out there for me
They tell me life is, not a one I can see
Now I won't confuse you, I've lost no sleep
I'm thinking, speaking clearly, and I don't think that's so deep
And I'm always stepping out of line
I'm just here to waste your time
I'm not out to change no minds
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
If I do, good for you, it's not mine
I'm afraid of what I'm wearing
People near me, always staring
Whispers buzzin' in my ear
Get so close, don't get so near
Cuz I'm the walkin' paranoia
Swear I don't got nothing for ya
I just want to live my life
Void of horror, devoid of strife
And I'm always stepping out of line
I'm just here to waste your precious time
I'm not out to change no minds
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
If I do, good for you, it's not mine
I'm always stepping out of line
I'm just here to waste your precious time
I'm not out to change no minds
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
If I do, good for you, it's not mine
Feel my soul, resonating
Sing to me, I'm serenaded
But I'm the walking paranoia
Swear I don't got nothing for ya
First I'm trapped and then I'm baited
My words and thoughts are not related
I'm always stepping out of line
I'm just here to waste your precious time
I'm not out to change no minds
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh oh oh oh
If I do, good for you, it's not mine
If I do, good for you, it's not mine
If I do, good for you, i'm glad it's not mine

The Spark

Well I heard the news today
Seems someone I've never met has taken my heart away
But I only mean the best
Believe me darling I'm not always in jest
So just forget those tears we've cried
Let me tell you just one more lie
I never loved you and there never was a spark
But I had to write you this song in the dark
So tell me what for and why?
I begged the angels, but only ever received a sigh
Fell on deaf ears once again
Must have been taken by the wind
I made these troubles on my own
So just forget those tears we've cried
And let me tell you just one more lie
I never loved you and there never was a spark
But I'll only play you this song in the dark
Well I've run out of words to say
It would make no difference if you'd called another day
Stopped staring at the phone
Talked to more than dial tone
Think I'll let it be unknown
Just forget those tears we've cried
And let me tell you just one more lie
I never loved you and there never was a spark
But I'll only sing you this song in the dark
Just forget those tears we've cried
Let me tell you just one more lie
I never loved you and there never was a spark
But I'll only sing you this song in the dark
Never loved you and there never was a spark
But I'll only sing you this song in the dark

Sweet Kate

Sweet Kate, the devil's at my door
He's begging me for more
Of what I have in store
Sweet Kate, who needs enemies
When you have friends like these
Love, loss and revelries
These walls have eyes
And there's ghosts in the paint
Betting on me
To fall
But I've got beggar's rights
So ante up, pony up young buddy
Ain't got a use for a whole lotta money
When you're gone
Ouus
There's still lightning in my bones
But sometimes it feels like no one's home
Yea the lights are on, but everybody's gone
But You never let me go
With your torch I can see the silver line the road
Sweet Kate, the devil's at my door
He's begging me for more
And I've nothing left in store
Sweet Kate, who needs enemies
When you have friends like these
Love, loss and revelries
Remember these few words please
The devil's on his knees
It was nothing I ever wanted
But lord knows I had it coming
On a comet, just a blazing
Like a bolt of machinations
Set me running
Everytime I'm feeling lazy
Ouus
I know, I know I drive you crazy
Sweet Kate, we were never nearly lovers
Never one without the other
They would say
What would they say?
If in bed with the devils where I lay?
Sweet Kate
I'm sorry for keeping you awake

On You
02:26
|

Told a little lady she could be my wife
She said, screw you man, get a life
I ain't wasting no more time on you
No hard feelings, no feelings no more
Took it on and the chin and I took it out the door
Saying I ain't wasting none of my time on you
On you
On you
You're only gonna break my heart
You're only gonna break my heart-ar-art
Saw another lover on the side of the road
Told her that prince ain't nothing but a toad
And he ain't wasting none of his time on you
But that mean old cane had a way with words
He left me on my back just a singing to the birds
Saying I ain't wasting no more time on you
On you
On you
On you
On you
On you
On you
Now I'm waiting for the clouds to part
Waiting for the clouds to part
Now I'm sitting at the bar tied
Down with the band's vibe
Thinking I've wasted all of my time on you
On you
On you
There's someone yelling last call
I've still a glass full of tall tales
A tell all of how I'm gonna put it on you
On you
On you
And I'm waiting for the song to start
Waiting for the song to start

Perpetual Fire
05:20
|

Lately I've been
Running out of my mind
And replacing it with time
Taken safely
But It's starting to shake me
To my core
It's got me running around
Blues baby
It's driving me crazy
Lay next to me lady
And save me from my
Life of, perpetual fire
That feeds my desire
I feel Like a tiger on the hunt
Now you got these olds dogs
Used to be the cool cats
If you wanna be like that
Man you're on the wrong path
Out of this town, I've been hanging around
Out of fear of the folks that forged me this crown
If I ever thought that I'd ever do less
I'd rip out my heart and sing from my chest
Blues baby, It's driving my crazy
Lay next to me lady
And save me from my,
Life of, perpetual fire
That feeds my desire
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I've chosen my path
There ain't no take backs
Stop going through the motions
And questioning the notion
That If I tried
To use my mind's eye
To see that I've been blinded by
The light
Blues baby, It's driving me crazy
Lay next to me lady
Nobody can save me from this
Life of, perpetual fire
That feeds my desire
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
Blues baby, It's driving me crazy
Lay next to me lady
Nobody can save me from my
Life of, perpetual fire
That feeds my desire
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt
I feel like a tiger on the hunt

Broken Radio
04:07
|

Is there a right time?
Is there a wrong song?
Is this is a bad time?
Baby, are you home?
I'm just outside
Thinkin' maybe I should go
I know I said it was the last time
I Just thought you should know
It didn't go right
I'm no better than before
I've been swallowed by the night
It has taken me whole
I take my comfort in the small things
But they've been getting far between
Between the whiskey and a hard place
I'm gettin' tired of the scenery
I been faded on the greenery
Are they laughing with me or at me?
I'm on a level where I can't see
What's below or hanging over me
But It didn't go right
I'm no better than before
I've been swallowed by the night
It has taken me whole
Who is taking me home?
Who wants to listen to a broken radio?
Set your station to the cold unknown
Forget your future, let your mind unfold
Call your mama, better let her know
The life she granted ain't nothing but a joke
And we're all waiting for the punchline to fall
There's nothing for it, I've bombed before
When It didn't go right
I'm no better than before
I've been swallowed by the night
It has taken me whole
It is taking me home
It is taking me whole
It is taking me home
It is taking me whole
It is taking me home
But it didn't go right
I'm no better than before
