Waffles
03:43
|
|||
my alarm went off and I
decided not to go to work
so I called in and said I’m
dead
my baby turned to me and
looked at me and smiled real big and said
I’ve got something for you instead
she told me I’ll earn my keep
or keep the peace in pieces
if I don’t get my ass out of bed
she wouldn’t tell me
what she wanted exactly
but I knew what was going on in her head
she wanted waffles
she wanted waffles
she wanted waffles
I mean well and make waffles
she said to me
I swear to Christ
these have to be the best waffles
that I’ve ever put in my mouth
she held me hostage for a month
and made me feed her my waffles
every day in and night out
she made me make my tasty bakes
for every block of every way
for every neighbor in town
she made me take my tasty cakes
across the country
starting very near the 66th route
they wanted waffles
they wanted waffles
they wanted waffles
I mean well and make waffles
key change
they wanted waffles
she wanted waffles
I mean well and make waffles

New Shoes

I got a new pair of shoes
I got a new pair of shoes
Old shoes been wearing me thin
Oh all the places they’ve been
Don’t know whose is whose
so I got a new pair of shoes
I got a new set of shades
I got a new set of shades
I’m gonna wear them all day
Until I feel the rain
That sun’s been making me crazy
So I got a new set of shades
I’m gonna go where I go
I’m gonna go where I go
Where that is I don’t know
I just go where the wind blows
Ain’t no one been there before
So I’m gonna go where I go
I’m gonna do what I do
I’m gonna do what I do
Ain’t gonna listen to you no more
You just been making me blue
Gonna lace up both of my new shoes
And I’m gonna do what I do
I’m gonna dig me a ditch
I’m gonna dig me a ditch
Big enough that I can fit my
My mind my body and spirit
Don’t know which is which
So I’m gonna dig me a ditch
Wearin my new pair of shoes
I got a new pair of shoes
I’m gonna wear them every day
Gonna wear them into my grave
Got nothing left to lose
Save for my new pair of shoes

This & That

Say what you want to
Say what you mean
Wherever you been
Whatever you seen
Say what you mean now
Say what you feel
Say what you want
Till you get your fill
Say what you’re thinking
What’s on your mind
Are you thinking ahead
Or are you thinking behind
Go where you’re goin’
Do what you do
Best do it now
Before the doin’ do you
Everyone’s jokin’
And everyone’s jive
Everyone’s waiting
To skin each other alive
But everyone’s sparkly
And everyone’s green
If you’re afraid to get dirty
You may never get clean
Do as you wish now
Do as you please
Does it do you right
To be doin’ your deeds
Do what you wanna
Whatever it is
You were doin’ that
And now you’re doin’
doin’ do-doin’ doin’ do-do-do-doin’ this
take a little of that
get a little of this
take a little of that
get a little of this
take a little of that
and a little of this
take a little of that
get a little of that
get a little of that
and a little of the
and a little of the
and a little of the
and a little of the
and a little of the
and a little of the

Breakup Song
03:13
|
|||
I’m sorry baby
I can’t be what you want
I’m sorry baby
I can’t be what you need
There’s something you should understand
We’re the same, you and I
I’m sorry baby
I hurt you so bad
I’m sorry baby
I let you down so many times
There’s something you should really know
We’re the same, you and I
I’m sorry baby
I’m crazy and a little insane
I’m sorry baby
I only wanted to waste time
But there’s something you should realize
We’re the same, you and I
Come over baby
I ain’t through with you yet
Please come on over, baby
And tell me how you really feel
‘cause there’s something I can tell you
We’re the same, you and I

Cloudwalkin'
02:48
|
|||
I’m cloudwalkin’, I’m loud talkin’, I’m sidewalk chalkin’
Homie you know what to do when the dogs are barkin’
I don’t have to tell you twice, you know that it’s a bargain
And I’ll tell you now that I don’t even know who Kevin Hart is
But I’d like to think that he’s a decent person
Cuz I want everybody to know that its worth it
And I’m like
I don’t want to be any but perfect
And she’s like
I don’t want it with you but with Sherman, huh
Here we go again, I’m trying to be bold again
I gotta tell her now ‘cuz I never told her then
I’m trying to be like, baby I’m wanna to be right
I don’t wanna be anything but your goodnight
I don’t wanna be anything but your mom
Talkin to you on the phone about me all night, gawkin’
Like I’m some sort of David Hasslehof or something
Well I’m just the other guy over here cloudwalkin’
Oo I’m cloudwalkin’
Oo I’m cloudwalkin’
Oo I’m cloudwalkin’
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo

Prove You Wrong
02:42
|
|||
Somebody once told me I was gonna end up
Just like my old man
Somebody once told me I was gonna end up
Spendin’ time in the can
Somebody once told me I was never gonna
Be the one for her
Somebody once told me I have everything
But I don’t deserve it
So I’m gonna be the one to make you feel like you did me
And I’m gonna be the one to make you question everything
And I’m gonna be the reason why your days feel so long
And I’m gonna be the one to prove you wrong
Somebody once told me I was never gonna see my name in lights
Somebody once told me son sit still and let me take the fight
Somebody once told me I’ll lose the fortune by goin’ for fame
Somebody once told me if I go I’ll never be the same
So I’m gonna be the one to make you feel like you did me
And I’m gonna be the one to make you question everything
And I’m gonna be the reason why your days feel so long
And I’m gonna be the one to prove you wrong
I’m gonna be the one to make you feel like you did me
And I’m gonna be the one to make you question everything
And I’m gonna be the reason why your days feel so long
And I’m gonna be the one
I’m gonna be the one to make you feel like you did me
And I’m gonna be the one to make you question everything
And I’m gonna be the reason why your days feel so long
And I’m gonna be the one to prove you wrong

Doubt About It
03:59
|
|||
Leave your shadow when you walk through the door
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
They don’t allow you to wear that shade anymore
a-woah oh a-woah o-woah
Draw the blinds, shine the spotlight, keep the angle askew
Woah oh woah o-woah
You’ll surely know what to do soon’s they tell it to you
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
But all of this glare coulda been avoided
If the sun woulda heeded the government’s warning, hey
Looks like its gonna be grey skies today
I’ve seen a funny man laugh himself to the grave
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
I’ve seen a holy man damned as the devil was saved
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
Don’t blink or you may miss the man’s ineffable plot
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
I think therefor I am, ‘till I lose my train of thought
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
But all of this pain coulda been avoided
If we all just stopped waking up in the morning, hey hey
Keep on tellin’ me its gonna be okay
But we know the true story
Ain’t nothing gonna change it
Must be polluting
Your stream of information, yeah well
There must be something wrong with your head
The audacity to be askin’ questions
Well I know what the man on the podium said
And there ain’t no doubt about it
There ain’t no doubt about it
All this hatred must be some kind of rampant disease
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
I went to the forest all I could see was thousands of trees
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
I ain’t lying when I say that not a word of it’s true
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
All this trigger happy blues is a symptom of our point of view
Woah oh a-woah o-woah
But we could all go home at the end of the day
Close the door, kill the lights, lock ourselves away
We could sleep for the rest of our days
If your majesty wants it that way
Keep on telling me its gonna be okay
We could walk away
No more responsibility
But we know the truth, they say
Deep in our pockets, baby
We’ll share it with you, hey hey
If the authorities deem you worthy
Slam your shot of the daily news
Before you roll out of bed in the morning
Now you know what the man on the podium said
And there ain’t no doubt about it
There ain’t no doubt about it

Move
07:31
|
|||
Move over, take cover now, move on out
They try to tell you what this life is really all about
Move to the groove, said move on up
I’m gonna move out to the country
I’ve had enough
Everybody wants a piece of the American eagle
Got a left wing, right wing, predator in the middle
All the children are standing in line for a chance to see one
Poached, stuffed, and put on display in the state museum
We gotta move
Out to the country
Where there ain’t nothing to do
And all your friends are talkin’ funny
We gotta move
To the green rolling pastures
Where the folks go slow
‘cause they ain’t got no time to go faster
Run run run run, yeah you better run
If you run fast enough you might outrun the sun
And if you stay awake for long enough, you might get some rest
And if you take a break for long enough, they might call it a Sabbath
Won’t you tell me something, tell something that I want to know
Tell me who, what, why, when, how, and where the hell did it go
Won’t you sell me somethin’, somethin’ other that a piece of my mind back
Nah, to busy celebrating the insatiable craving to be kidnapped by a psychopath
We gotta move
Out to the country
Where the beasts roam free
And all the peaches are growing fuzzy
We gotta move
Away from the city now
You might think it’s a pity
This ain’t no way to keep living now
Play by play, and note by note
At the end of the day, that’s all she wrote
But night after night hear them playing the blues
And our ears prick up at the ripped up score on the news
We can all tune in on our 5G radio stations
Where familiar faces say familiar words and phrases
Where we’re all well acquainted with the coming of the end of days
And if you squint your eyes tight enough, you can turn the page
There’s a left turn signal left on in the five car pile up
There were fifteen seconds to respond before the driver’s time was up
All the nice clean shaven faces of the friendly firemen
Didn’t quite make it in time for the occasion
And the funeral coulda fed a family of five hundred
And the tombstone read here lies a loving father and husband
And all the folks dressed up in black to pay their respects
And he never did get a chance to make that left
But I like to think that that’s not where his story ends
But it’s all pretend if the science can’t confirm it
And the jury is finally in with the final verdict
With a word and the strike of the gavel, God’s deemed deceased
And no one seems to want to claim his seat
So we all mark our calendar for the year of the beast
We gotta move
On with our lives
When the lights go out
What you gon’ be doin’ with your time
We gotta go
While the goin’ is good
You might think that you shouldn’t
But you know damn well that you should
We gotta move now

Too Hard To Love
02:55
|
|||
You’re too hard to love
That’s what I say
Lovin’ yourself
Gets in the way
I need you to see me
Don’t be afraid
But seein’ too deep
Scares me away
Your pain is my fuel
More I get, more I need
Destruction and damage
Define what I dream
Please fit my disease
Too hard to love
Please understand
But I know who I was
And that ain’t who I am
Destroy it, I’ll fix you
My broken feels better
Than your independence
‘least to me
This cage just makes me feel so free
Just need me
Just need me
Burnin’ like fuel
More I get more I need
In a cloud of smoke
I can only hope
To be a better me
‘till you’re burning again
Destroy it, I’ll fix you
My broken feels better
Than being complete
Please fit my disease
Now you believe
Tame your passion
I’m scared to come in
I’m scared to leave
I know I can save you
If you just hang on to me
Your fire’s died down now
I can breathe
Your pain is my fuel
More I get, more I need
Destruction and damage
Define what I dream
‘till you’re burning again
Destroy it, I’ll fix you
My broken feels better
Than being complete
Please fit my disease

04:23
|

I don’t want you to feel the need to walk away
I don’t want you to hold back what you want to say
I can’t tell you all things I want to say to you
I can’t tell you
I love you cause honey I
really wanted to but honey I
I thought I did but I
Told myself that I do but I
No I don’t
Know
I don’t want you to feel the way I felt that day
I don’t want you tryin to tell me it’ll be okay
I don’t need you tellin me my life is a mess
I don’t need you
I want you but need you I
Really wanted to but honey I
I thought I did but I
Told myself that I do but I
No I don’t
Know

Trash King
03:16
|
|||
Nobody spoke about the comatose
From then on mother hid the pills up on a higher shelf
Nobody speaks about the missing weeks
Memories abandoned in search of a higher self
Nobody knows about your purple bones
They compliment your sunglasses and buy you a drink
Nobody’s home they just leave you alone
Say goodbye we love you and we’ll probably see you next week, well
Hey hey, there’s a better way
But ain’t nobody gonna tell you till it’s much too late
Woah oh, you gotta go
There ain’t no more room for you here
Till you can look into the mirror your reflection’s unclear
Nobody cries at their last sunrise
They might appreciate the colors if they can spare the time
Nobody fights, they just stay inside
Hoping the clean white coats come take them away in time
Everyone’s wondering when the war will begin
If it’s begun already, if we lose or we win
And everyone’s locking their windows at night
Thinking that’s where the enemy is
Catch a glimpse of their reflection, gaze into the abyss
Hey hey, best be on our way
Got no patience for the people who cannot wait
Woah oh, nobody knows
Until they look up and face the truth
That all these people in the mirror are reflections of you
Trash king
Sittin’ in his coffin
Thinkin’ that he really ought to
shine his shoes more often
no dreams
wants or ambitions
he is happy right where he is
says his favorite kind of friend’s the kind that doesn’t exist
nobody likes what they look like
hide behind a smile and a smoke and a bottle of wine
nobody’s fine when they say they’re fine
we’re all burning from both ends, running the clock out of time
everyone’s counting up their wrongs and their rights
making adjustments that they think may benefit the bottom line
debt and pity, money and pride
we’re all closer than we like to admit
laughing at the hearse as we’re worshipping the crucifix, well
hey hey, there’s a better way
but ain’t nobody gonna tell ya till it’s much too late
woah oh, you gotta go
there ain’t no more room for you here
till you can look into the mirror, yeah you best steer clear
of the Trash King
oo
think’s he really ought to clean
the wad of lint from out his pockets
oo, oo
who’s gonna clean up your mess
when the folks that don’t exist the folks that you like best

Take Me
03:29
|
|||
Come on and take me woman
Come on and take me to the floor
Come on and take me woman
Come on and take me to the floor
Even when I know I shouldn’t
You know I always want some more
One day I’m a child
The next day I’m a man
One day I’m a child
The next day I’m a man
Many things I may know, but
One thing I understand
Come on and take me woman
Come on and take me till I’m gone
Come on and take me woman
Come on and take me till I’m gone
You can take me to the end of the day
And you can take me all night long

Miss Laudanum
03:14
|
|||
Hey hey Miss Laudanum
Heard you talkin’ in your sleep
Turnin’ and tossin’
Burnin’ fever in your cheeks
Hey hey Miss Tuesday
Lose yourself and find a friend
Hope the shoe fits loosely
So you can leave with no regrets
One way or the other
She’ll be comin’ back around
We’ll lose each other
Soon’s we claim ourselves as found
Hey Miss America
Heard you’re sweatin’ in your sheets
We’re well aware you’ve gone and left us
For the California heat
Hey hey Miss Smiles
Heard you landed in a pinch
Can’t you see I’m tryin’ to give you a mile
And all you’re takin’ is an inch
Hey Mister Martyr
Let yourself down easily
Can’t you see your draining blood’s
Just the flavor of the week
Can’t you hear them callin’
Sirens callin’ you home
Back to the island
Oo, there’s nowhere left to go
Hey Miss Civilized
Hold your knife in your right hand
I hope your manners come in handy
When you stab me in the back
It all keeps adding up
Something’s got to give, oo yeah
You better keep your head up
When you’re fillin’ up your prescription
Hey Miss Laudanum
Won’t you tell me what’s the use
Heard you’re weavin’ so many lies
You stopped believin’ the truth
Hey hey Miss Laudanum
Hey hey Miss Laudanum
Hey hey Miss Laudanum
Hey hey Miss Laudanum

Go To Bed
03:50
|
|||
She walked in through the door
Sat right here on the floor next to me
Said I don’t know what you’ve been through
But what I know is that you can do anything
You want to
I don’t want to see you down
I want to see you with a crown upon your head
Let me take you by the hand
And show you every piece of sand this world has
If you want to
So we took off into the night
Wonderin’ when we’ll see the light again
She looked at me and kissed my head and said
Honey we should go to bed
And then we did
As the years go down the road
Suddenly we’re getting old
Memories we made
Kids have all gone away
No reason we should stay around here
Any more
She said to me honey can’t you see
What it means to be so free like we used to be
We can hit the road and not look back
See the world with fanny packs on our hips
Like we should be
So we took off into the night
Wonderin’ when we’ll see the light again
She looked at me and kissed my head and said
Honey we should go to bed and then we did
Suddenly the day had come
She said to me it won’t be long and then I’m gone
She took a breath and closed her eyes
Smiled at me and said it’s time to go
So she took off into the night
Wondering when she’ll see the light again
She looked at me and kissed my head
Said honey I should go to bed
And then she did
So I took off into the night
Wonderin’ when I’ll see the light again
