Lyrics

There is a place you might wanna go
it's right up my street
you might look and see the light shining
someone you might like to meet
He said "let's go for a ride"
says it all the time
you know you got a lot to live for
and you're gonna be mine
You shouldn't believe the things you reed in papers
they can't come true
I don't believe the things that you see on TV
they'll never happen to you
2 steps forward
don't say I didn't warn you
2 steps forward
I didn't warn you.

Lyrics

You pull thorns from my hands
and then wait for your reward
When you know they're the same ones
you placed there the night before
You glance in the mirror every time that you lie
You're well rehearsed every time that you cry
Well here's a little something to remember me by


You fed me the skin off my back
and asked me if it tasted good
You knew I never loved you
when you asked me if I always would
I'm leaving now but don't ask why
If you don't know then don't even try
But here's a little something to remember me by

Yeah, kindness and love
are only the means to an end
Unless the end is the beginning
and we start all over again
If there's a place where evil goes to die
I'm certain that you'd qualify
Till then, here's a little something to remember me by
Yeah, here's a little something to remething to remember me by

Lyrics

Now that the wounds have all healed
Are you gonna come back
Do you wanna come back to me

I hope you won't hold me to blame
All that I remember
All that I remember was shame

It's all in the story you tell
Nobody's a villain
Nothing that can't be explained

There's more than just good and bad
There's a reason
A reason for everything

I'm starting to figure it out
Maybe just maybe
It wasn't my fault

Maybe there's something you said
Are you gonna come back
Are you gonna come back to me.

In the movies the monsters are real
But now
Now I just don't know

Lyrics

You got drunk and told me about the way you let it go
Giving up is easy when nobody has to know
Said "it's not a pose to want to wear the shoe that fits
Anyway it's either that or smash myself to bits"

Sally Jean once said that she was dealt a lucky hand
When she tried to cash her chips I couldn't understand
Said "I had to see if I had the guts to call it quits.
Seemed to be just good enough to smash myself to bits."

Got a list of stupid choices long as I can see
Wish that I could change them all but that's not meant to be
So I vow to turn the tide and still I take my hits
Forget my vows and find new ways to smash myself to bits

Lyrics

Someone set fire to the field last night
Turned himself in this morning
No, I don't think you knew him
But that's not the point

The cops asked why he'd done it
As they fastened up the cuffs.
He looked at what he'd done and said,
"Guess I just don't know.
I just don't know."

But you can feel it in your heart
Feel it in your soul
Feel it go around until you lose control
And there's just a few things
That can't be told
Don't you feel it burn?

There was this friend that you and I had
There were a few things that he believed in
And then one by one he found some flaws
And now he's not so sure
No, he's not that sure.

I woke up alone this morning
And I looked around the room
And some day there's gonna be hell to pay
I know.
Yeah. I know

Lyrics

Ch.:
Weathered and torn
weathered and torn
hey baby, I'm on the floor
my my, ripped and worn
it's down to me, I'm weathered and torn

she was a stranger, that didn't matter
I didn't need her, but I had to have her
send for a doctor, hit the press on the phone
she's gone, I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

I tried to phone her, the numbers been changed
and I tried to find her, I was so strange
will somebody please throw me a bone
cause I'm in the doghouse now
I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

oh I tried to phone her, the numbers been changed
and I tried to find her, I was so strange
will somebody please throw me a bone
cause I'm in the doghouse now
I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

Lyrics

Bobby took a ride on a California night
On the 7:35 from Salinas
Didn't hear a sound there was no one else around
He said 'The sky has come between us'.

Are you really sure that now's the time?
Are you ready to be saved
On the Southern California Line?

Bobby made a list of the places he had missed
And the places where he'd been forgotten
Looked upon the list and he tore the list to bits
And he wondered how it turned so rotten

Bobby's last connection was a thought about confession
And a 25-to-life in prison
Took a load of pills, leaned against the windowsill
And waited till his soul had risen

Lyrics

Got a lotta slack that's holding me back
And I don't know where to go
Sniffing like a hound that wants to bite down
But I can't tell friend from foe

I want to slow down but I can't

Gimme lotta lead and slow me down with speed
And I'll let you go your way
Put it down on paper and bother me later
If that's all you got to say

I want to be there but I'm not

Nobody's perfect I know that it's true
Nobody's perfect but what can you do
Nobody's perfect it's just noise and stuff
But sometimes too much just isn't enough

Take a little powder and turn it up louder
And blow the walls apart
Gotta give me level to keep away the devil
And crawl inside my heart

I want to be free but I'm not

Lyrics

If the river runs dry like it probably will
I'll drink from the well 'till I get my fill
If God likes a joke and I think that he may
We'll both be there laughing at the end of the play

What can I tell you?
The way that they sell you,
Well, you can strike up the band
with the back of her hand, it's alright.

What can I show you,
They think that they know you
Well you can wrap up the show
With all that you know, it's alright

If they come looking for me you can tell them dead
I might be there watching or hiding instead

Lyrics

I'm buying time
But I've got no place to put it
I draw the line
But that shouldn't slow me down, now should it?

Riding against the minutes
Outside the city limits
Burning deep inside me like
Death Valley rain

We come alive
When the sun goes down in the valley
We never drive
We just park it out back in the alley

ch

The moon it shines
And lights up the cans on the dashboard
The stars align
But we don't know exactly what for

ch

Lyrics

I was thinking of my troubles
As people sometimes will
Everyone who had done my wrong
And those who would wrong me still
And in a fit of desperation
I found myself on my knees
wishing pain and suffering
on all my enemies

I prayed for loss of limb
and lingering disease
Of blight and devastation
And assorted miseries
But as I made my wishes
and as I cast my spells
I stopped myself and said a prayer
And said these words to myself

There will come a day
There will come a day
When all of the evil
will be washed away
The patient will be rewarded
And their tormentors will pay
There will come a day, lord
There will come a day

Lyrics

The word from outside
and she is on the ledge again
drawing a card
and threatening everything
I'm here wandering
where I got in
Everybody says I don't care
but I'm just trying to remember
the days of wine and roses
The priest from the parish
is looking for persuasion
the man with the notepad
wants verification
somebody says this was my creation
Her mother says it's your fault
you never looked after her
Her father arranging to
get back the furniture
I'm here wandering
what the reasons were.
