Mexico
A warm las vegas night
they tied the knot
the knot was tight
tight as gold
checked out at 5:01
to break the news
to everyone
the news was old
the car was overturned
can't say the kids
were never warned
to take it slow
the thing that wore me down
was that the two
were never found
where did their bodies go?
they're down in Mexico
no-one will ever know
they learned how to let themselves go
down there in Mexico
The Final Dis
Trying to cope with this
making the losing miss
trying to make a fist
trying to deal with the final dis
He is better off alone
without his fortune and his throne
from which without a warning
he was thrown
it was a game it was a blast
the world was coming at him fast
he swung for the bleaches
and it was smashed
Stannding on a common ground
life had tossed them both around
wiht the bond of being beaten
they were bound
the world is tangled in her hair
the truth is scrambled in the air
she tells him her conclusion
life ain't fair
and he won't know if he can
until he does
and he can't see the ending
and he cannot base the future on what was
'cause there's no use in pretending
trying to deal with the final
dis
In My Car
My insecurity
it gets the best of me
is everything my fault?
my house is falling apart
but in my car i am king
i can do anything
my sense of impending doom
keeps me locked inside my room
the fighting makes me want to hide
or sneak outside and go for a ride
my insecurity
it gets the best of me
Don't Get Up
I took the manic tour
i know enough to know that you're
not joking
the shoulder is so cold
the story is so old
it's broken
don't get up
i thought we had it but you've blown it
don't get up
i'm only stopping for a moment
tempt me with the open wind
until i'm locked up in the stable
and when you're fun is gone
put your lazy feet up on the table
don't, don't, don't get up
everybody's got a different
amount
of lucky days so you'd bettter count your
blessings, you've been winnning every round
when you've finally been knocked down
yoou'll be guessing
don't get up
I thought we had it but you've thrown it
don't get up
i'm only stopping for a moment
don't, dont' don't get up
Trying
i have my faults
this much i know
with a little help and hope
and effort maybe i'll grow
I'm trying
i have my faults
like all the rest
i know i can better myself
but never will i be the best
i have a habit
of getting down on myself
i can't kick, it's easier
than giving myself credit
that i deserve
i'm tyring
Youth Is Gone
i have fallen from my grace
graceful moments been erased
i will never fix my mistakes
i'll move along
my youth is gone
from the moment i was born
all my insides have been torn
wrong decisions, i won't be forlorn
i'll move along
my youth is gone
i will never fix my mistakes
i'll move along
my youth is gone
Wasting My Time
i was wasting my time
i was wasting my mind
wonderin' when you'd come through
when i'd find the real you
you were caught in the rain
you were caught in my pain
then you had to be strong
showin' me where i went wrong
all you're trying to be
couldn't get me to stray
though i may feel the wrong way
all you're trying to be
couldn't open my eyes too see
what you were trying to say
wasn't what you had wanted
but was what i could give
what you were trying to say
what you said is i need you
i was wasting my time
i was wasting my mind
i was thinking too hard
it was fine from the start
Circle
oh let me stand, circle, circle
inside your magic, circle, circle
when you've tasted the ripest
one
you've tasted the rotten
when you've learned all there is to know
then all is forgotten
encompassing all circle, circle
holding nothing circle, circle
all is forgotten
Trust Is Just A Lie
trust is ruined every time
and you cannot tell a lie
and so you wonder why
trust is just a lie
faith and trust in your friends
but the truth always bends
and everyone pretends
that everything's fine
but trust is just a lie
trust is just a lie
Invincible
i want to make us invisible
to all the others
i want to make you invincble
to all the arrows
i'm still waiting for the day
when we together can get away
tired of staying stuck in the middle
tired of sticking to the city spittle
and i can't wait, can't wait
i'm still living in your stream
we swim together in my dream
eternal youth is from the fountain
in the middle of the lake
at the top of the mountain
i want to make us invisible
to all the others
i want to make you invincible
to all the arrows
Worth The Wait
i got a wish come true
i got to be with you
it makes it all worth while
to see you smile
and if you want to know what
i think i might get stuck
deep inside your heart
and so what
i think we hit on something here
i think we hit on something dear
and i believe in it, i'm not
talking shit
i've got my tongue in straight
it's worth the wait
i think we hit on something here
i think we hit on something dear
J
off with the blinders
down the walls between
deeper and deeper
into the unseen
i'm in a place
i'll never shake
i'll always stay
awake, awake
follow the footsteps
of the girl inside
there i will be waiting
hold your life in mine
i'm in a place
i'll never shake
i'll always stay
awake, awake
Jane Doe
do you remember me
we never spoke again
i was a friend of steve's
he was the one with the plan
it happened down at the baech
we walked along the sand
we talked philosophy
you took me by the hand and
i forgot your name
it is such a shame
you were the first
to satisfy my thirst
and i forgot your name
i think i'll call you jane
and you can call me sam
sammy was pretty plain
speedy was little sam
i was a gun
my hammer was frequently raised
you were the one
it happened so fast i was amazed
i forgot your name
In My Corner
she won't have me
because i won't give in to what she wants
how am i supposed to agree
with a thing like that
she's got me backed up in my
corner
in my corner
and i won't give in
even though i know it's a stupid fight
how do i come to terms with a stubborn girl
i can't be still or the room
will spin
and i cannot move she's got me pinned
but i can't give up and i can't give in
and i cannot lose and i cannot win
i've got my guard up and i've
got my
back up against a wall, i can hardly
stand but i will not take the fall
Relish
this beer is getting warm
i've been sitting here way too long wonderin'
what my life is supposed to be about
but i'm tired, i'm scared of
time
just passing by i want the feeling like i'm
getting high but i don't want the paranoia
i just have to let it go
i can't try to stop the things
i know i can't control
standing in the sun
letting rivers run
i am only one
trying to have some fun
standing in the sun
San Francisco
i'm going to san francisco
i'm gonna hit the high road
and i'm gonna take my chances
i'm gonna take my chances
i'm gonna get me a ruck sack
and pack up my belongings
and i'm gonna bring my brushes
and pain me a new world
i'm gonna be an explorer
i'm gonna hit the back roads
and i've got me a new flag
and it's coming unfurled
i'm gonna get out my old photos
and all my old letters
and all those misconceptions
and i'm throwing them in the fire
i'm not bringing along my rubber
gloves
or any of my utensils
no need for a change of clothes
or even a spare tire
because i'm going to san
francisco
i'm gonna hit the high road
and i'm gonna take my chances
i'm gonna take my chances
