This ain't my first rodeo
But you've got to stand next to me
You said oh baby don't know
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Those people
They're not from around
They're gonna
Have to go downtown
They're chasing
All your women around
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Those people
Don't know heaven from hell
They're gonna
Have to go downtown
They're chasing
All your women around
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Baby you know, you have to go
Because I can't take you with me
You scream "Oh, darling I know"
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Those people
They're not from around
They're gonna
Have to go downtown
They're chasing
All your women around
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Talking In Your Sleep
02:30

|

You've been talking in your sleep
What is that supposed to mean?
I heard that song
You know the one
I've been staying up for days
It's hard to turn things off when you can't just assimilate
Been painting pictures in my head
Off the deep once again, at least you're safe and sound in bed
But you knew that song that I was thinking of
You always do that, you hold the truth back
That's when things go wrong
But you knew that song that I was thinking of
You always do that, you hold the truth back
I always knew that, the blue would turn red
That's when things go wrong

Nine

At nine we took the T to the red line
Into Boston just to get a bite
And an Anderson film and we cried
But we both denied it all night
We always drink too much
And we never have enough
I know I've done too much
I love you
I want you to go down on me
In a car like an SUV
You make me so mad
You're the only one that I had
You hit me with a pizza box
I was only wearing my socks
I want you to lie
Tell me everything is alright
At nine we took the T to the red line
Into Boston just to get a bite
And an Anderson film and we cried
But we both denied it all night
We always drink too much
And we never have enough
I know I've told you too much
We took the T to the red line
Into Boston just to get a bite
I want you to know
You're the only place that I'll go
I want to leave right now
And God'll tell me how
You said this lasts forever
But that was just a lie
There was no reason why
I think my brain is fried
I think I'm gonna cry
You just want me to die

Skinny People

You musta been asleep for maybe fifteen months
You look just like you've been-ah comatose
You've got the thick-rimmed glasses with the lenses gone
I can't say that I'm a fan of those
You musta-musta-musta-musta missed my call
I've been trying to reach you for three days
You've got a kind of swagger you've never had before
In the worst kind of way
I'm sorry
That we had to
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But we have to
I'm sorry
You cop an attitude that is plenty rude
You're looking down on everyone as weak
You've got the Whole Foods chic
Yeah, you've got the Whole Foods chic
You're always hanging 'round with skinny people
Skinny people who don't like me
I always used to think I always knew you
But now it ain't what it used to be
I'm sorry
That we have to
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
But we have to
I'm sorry
You're always hanging 'round with skinny people
Skinny people who don't like me
You're always hanging 'round with skinny people
Skinny people who don't like me
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

She Plays Wide

I play my jangly guitar just for you
When you came on my eyes were drawn to your every move
I also play on the left side
But unlike you I can only use my right
We can play your favorite Springsteen songs all night
Lonesome Day, Thundercrack, and Blinded By The Light
I know you got a couple years on me
Who's counting down from 25 to 23
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
Left side
Left side
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
I dig your hair, your celebrations, and your pace
Couple that with your knack for finding open space
Looks like I won't be seeing you for a year
When you come back you know I'll still be standing right here
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
Left side
Left side
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
Left side
Left side
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
Ah-ah-ah, I
Wanna pick her off
She plays wide
She plays wide
She plays wide
Oh! She plays wide

Get Clean
03:43
|
|

A three-striped shoe in an empty room
An upside-down guitar out of tune
An old friend found
And yet another night sunk and drowned
A stack of books with the curtains closed
You'll never read of them but nobody knows
Well your flight's delayed
It's time you found a way to take control
What was green turned brown
And that'll still be here when you're in the ground if you walk away
I need to get clean
But how
And old friend finds you
And I'm here to remind you sunk and drowned

Drifting

I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
'Cause you're the one that I adore
'Cause I'm a darkened sky
And you're a cloud burst
'Cause I'm a walking dead
And you're a funeral hearse
'Cause I'm a terminal flu
And you're a potion to cure
'Cause I'm a verminous scum
And you're a soup du jour
'Cause I'm a rickety step
And you're a warning sign
'Cause I'm a subway drunk
And you're the end of the line
'Cause I'm a frozen pond
And you're an igneous stone
'Cause I'm a spider's bite
And you're exposing the bone
I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
'Cause you're the one that I adore
I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
I'll go drifting no more
'Cause you're the one that I adore

Wait

(Well I don't know I don't know I don't know say)
(I just do not know, YOU BETTAH)

In my summer days I tend to seek the shade, get lost in the
Parade around your street at night
It's not our home babe, our home was not disguised
Our home was not disguised
Yeah but I will build me up again
I'll take your words away
And make pretend you did me wrong
Convict you in a song
Orange flavored falling feeling
Expectation masquerade
Excuse me now I was just leaving
Second thought babe: I think that I should stay
I think that I should stay
Yeah but I will build me up again
I'll take your words away
And make pretend you did me wrong
Convict you in a song
Yeah but I will build me up again
I'll take your words away
And make pretend you did me wrong
Convict you in a song
In a song
In my summer days I tend to seek the shade, get lost in the
Parade around your street at night
It's not our home babe, our home was not
Orange flavored falling feeling
Expectation masquerade
Excuse me now I was just leaving
Second thought babe: I think that I should stay
I think that I should stay
I think that I should stay

You had it girl
You just gotta know me
You had it girl
You've just gotta show me
You want it girl
You've just gotta shoe me
You want it girl
You just gotta know me
Had enough for honey
Lord I know it's just a reason
That I left for something
Lord it's nothing
Had enough for honey
Lord I know it's just a reason
That I left for something
Show me the money
You had it girl
You just gotta know me
You had it girl
You've just gotta show me
I want this world
You just gotta know me
I want this world
You've just gotta show me
Had enough for honey
Lord I know it's just a reason
That I left for something
Lord it's nothing
Had enough for honey
Lord I know it's just a reason
That I left for something
Show me the money
