Apple Plum Blood Pudding

I woke up in the middle of our dream
Sure of everything we'd done and seen
But the loving words had all been replaced
By that angry look on your handsome face
And you gave away nothing with your eyes
And i became one unexpressed sigh

I woke up to find nothing that was mine

I tried to remember what i dreamt
When we said and did everything we meant
But the more i tried the more it disappeared
Till the beauty turned into doubt and fear

I woke up to find nothing that was mine

And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing with your eyes

As i watched you walk up and down my stairs
I had an inclination to stop breathing the air
But i don't have the guts to take my own life
I prefer escape and all that it implies

So now i'm going back to where we slept
Where peace becomes the promises we kept
And i'll never need a souvenir
Cause i'm never ever going away from here

I woke up to find nothing that was mine
I woke up to find nothing that was mine

One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless

Grass and concrete make me feel free and empty
Then i can forget everything that happened before today
When you threw me away you said you were gone to stay

Now i'm rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home

So i'll stick out my thumb or maybe just run this highway down
And when it ends i'll keep walking until it ends again
And if i don't turn back that will just support the fact

That i'm rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home

Rootless
I'm rootless

We had always been musicians
Then we played the right gig
All the new york papers said
It's a cinch they'll make it big

We jumped in our econo-line
Went out west in record time
That promoter robbed us blind
Headed north without a dime

We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big

Washing dishes paid for gas
Even played a catholic mass
Saved enough to make the drives
Still we waited for our prize

In vancouver we reigned supreme
They liked us better than their queen
The ferry to victoria
Had free hot dogs and cole slaw

We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big

Failure never crossed our minds
Like the horse races
We kept on the blinders

The band split up in washington
Because the van broke down
Everyone hitch hiked home
Sold guitars and our clothes

Most of my family keeps on asking
They just want to hear me spout
Well i say it's pretty simple
I got chewed up and spit out

We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big
Fatted calves and stuffed pigs

You sit on me and i sit on you
Trying to compress each other's views
I leaned on you and you leaned on me
Trying to be what we can't be

Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
It's not a question of being too shy
Ice creme on yesterday's pie

You call me up and i hang it up
I feel more and more corrupt
I also feel sure that there is no cure
Like the dead we must endure

Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
Have you ever had something to hide?
Ice creme on yesterday's pie

Sometimes i'm self-destructive
But mostly i don't want to see the light
Sometimes i'm self-destructive
But mostly i'm afraid to see the light

If it's a joke then why don't i laugh?
More and more my flag's half-mast

Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
Fireworks on the fifth of july
Ice creme on yesterday's pie

Her temporary husband said i better stay away
He said i don't care what you heard in the courtroom today
And eventhough i never really figured in her life
I can still makes things hurt for my soon-to-be ex-wife

Her temporary husband said
You can stop worrying when i'm dead

So now my girl and i we have to live out this lie
She doesn't want me hurt and i don't think i want to die
Cause i've seen the work he's done when someone gets in his way
Maybe we will get a chance to visit him in jail someday

Her temporary husband said
You can stop worrying when i'm dead

He wants us to believe his lie
But every night we pretend he's not alive

Her temporary husband said
You can start laughing when i'm dead

I lost my resolve
I lost my resolve
Something in my reasoning was flawed
Cause i'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same

I made up my mind to leave you behind
But i'm back here to find
Why i made up my mind

I lost my resolve
I lost my resolve
Back to the bottom of the pit i crawl
Cause i'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same

I tried not to see what you see in me
Cause if i believe i'll never leave

I lost my resolve
