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 04:16
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 03:22
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

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
