1. _ Tootie
You put a rose in my hand
Put a dollar in my pocket
But you don't understand
How the days grow longer, the sky is black as night
I see the morning but you won't see the light
I thought about you for a long, long time
I wrote about you but my words don't seem to rhyme
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
Had a dream about you
You sat right down beside me
And you told me we were through
It was all so real and you told me reasons why
You brought me to the window
And you taught me how to fly
I thought about you for a long, long time
I said i love you but we just don't have the time
And now you're lying here
But my heart still beats for you
I thought to hold you for a long, long time
You said i love you but my heart won't seem to chime in
And now you're lying here
And my heart still beats for you...i'm trying, and my heart still beats for you

2. _ Fool
Saw you last night
You were sleeping in my mind
Doubting you'll ever be free again
Then i climbed back inside
Someone open my eyes
To find me drunk again
Bonnie on the radio
And she was singing low "give it up or let me go"
Every night there is one more
Every night there is two more
Saying i shouldn't be feeling this pain
I think i better grow up now or go insane
There's so much i feel
So much i conceal
There's just so many things i can be
Someone write the story of 5 points
No one wanted to know me
Now they all have opinions of what we do
So they go down to bar none so we can have a drink or two
Can't write a story from the trees
I know somewhere she's watching me
Saying "boy carry your load"
Oh i don't want to go back on the road now
There's so much i feel
So much i conceal
There's just so many places to see
And faces i can read
There's just so many things i can be

3. _ Old Man & Me
Well an old man said to me
In a voice filled with pain
Where you going young man
Said i'm going to fight a war
Gonna fight for my country
In some foreign land
He said "the sun will never hurt you
Never harmed anyone
But you must realize"
If you try to stare her down
She will win in the end
She will burn your eyes
She will burn them
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And i wonder who will walk with me
When i get to heaven
He said "boy i was young once
Yeah i was tough
Sailing on uncle sam's boat
Hey i could kill the enemy
I could die on foreign streets
But i could not vote
But now you walk by me
You won't talk to me
Say this is my fate
But every time you walk the streets boy
Most of them you meet
You see it's you they hate
It's you...
Seen a million faces
Seen a million places die
And i wonder who will walk with me
When i get to heaven
I hope i get there
Seen a million places
Seen a million faces die
And i wonder who will walk with me
When i get there
See this woman sitting next to me
She's been there for a long, long time
And when i fell, she picked me up
When i cried, she wiped my tears
I thank god she's mine
And when i leave this world
She won't have anything
But her love for me
|
4. _ When I'm Lonely
Eyes like an infant
Staring me down
She'll take anything that's tied up
In my glorious past
It's just 4 days |

6. _ The Sad Caper
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So i'll just lay me down
Control has left me
And i can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
Do you really want to play these games
Just to keep things going
Or are you ready now to let it be
It's like sometimes you want to see the rain
But the sun gets in your eyes
And you want to die now
Control has left me
And i can't feel another thing
So let me turn around
I see i see
But things just couldn't be the same
So let me hold you down
Never let me down i swore to you
But now i lied
I'm here to make it all seem worth while
You want i know
But i'll have to try
To find a way to make me quiet now
Control has left me
And i can't feel another thing, so let me turn around
I see i see
But things just couldn't be the same
So won't you hunt her down
I know she said
Before you left me you were free
So i'll just lay me down

7. _ Honeyscrew
Fly inside
Feel me dealing
Holding on to a story just told
About a man who's the life of a funeral
Grabbing on to a woman who's soul
He just stole for a dream he don't believe in
Now she sits and she yells for a smile
"don't let the sun make me feel lonely"
Oh let me in let me in let me in
Is it me
Or is it honey
We all seem to hold
To something we don't see
Is he here
Is he there
Where does he live
Some people say in the pull of a heartbeat
Some people say in the mind of a stranger
I can't explain what it is i believe in
So take your heart take your mind and escape
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me
Or is it honey
Is it me trying to raise your little children
Is it me trying to take your little flame
Why are you trying to steal my judgement day away
Let me scream let me scream let me scream
Don't take it away
Another day in the arms of the real thing
Another day in the eyes of a fool
I called today just to make me feel hopeless
Lie to me and i'll try to believe

8. _ Tucker's Town
Staring back at you
Did you see my lips
Or were you smiling right in front of me
Your father called my name
Then he smiled with great relief

9. _ Silly Little Pop Song
One thing's for sure
I just can't find the way
To let it seem like all is wrong
Inside my den
Hold back
Breathe easy
She said to me
Go somewhere and change your mind
Just let me sleep
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
Is it anger at life
Or are you happy to be with me
Are you seeing someone
Or will your faith
Go with no other man
Come on
Let me dream
I've been living in a lesson
Please just come inside and listen
No need to worry |
10. _ Be The One
I wonder
Why are we involved
With the seasons
And the living of our own
Let me see if nothing's wrong
I just want to be the one
(she) wanted
You still give her all our lives
Let her be son
Who is she buying
See her crawl
I'll just make it out
(we don't see it bleeding)
I want to die with you
(something no ones needing)
I left the other day
But you're never here
You only listen to things you want to save
But the power it's ok with you
You knew i'd find something else to do
Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I wanna fly, i wanna die with you
Something no ones
See it's not like they
Are gonna take my faith away
Let me in it's ok now
Close the door
Is it really needing
When you find a place
That's only yours
Just go he beams
Well i've died for good now
Let me feel it
Let her come---let her run---let her run
(now)
Let me be the one
(we don't see it bleeding)
I can't feel it, i can't see it
(something no ones needing)
I feel dumb

11. _ She Crawls Away
I fall in she sees me and smiles
Then she starts to hate herself again
She screams something under her breath
That i wouldn't know if she said it outloud
She turns over to start a conversation
With a man that noone else can see
She dreams of loving me sometimes
And it makes me see what we've been missing
It's like i never knew anyone so strong before
She brings the man outa me
And she makes me see that they don't matter
I believe
We see her playin' with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
She wears white pants a miami sweater
Says that she loves the o's
So uncle dean will come by
Her smile is like sunshine
Her tears hurt like leather
She runs the show she lets me know
Says it's all about being the only
It's like someone said you could have one good thing in your life
She couldn't be your type
I didn't plan for your smile, but you make me laugh when you stand dreamin'
I believe, we see her layin with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again
Where were you yesterday
Now that my heart is wild and free
And my lips have room to wander
How can i say your needing me now
When i've got a plan
I know you don't understand why my heart is sorry know
I believe
We see her laying with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls
I believe
We see her waiting with another
She runs around you and then
It's like the sun goes down and she crawls away again

12. _ The Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn
Another reason to doubt me
Another teardrop falls
Can't wait for a friend when loneliness calls
Another kiss in the basement
Pour salt on my tongue
No one cries for heros left unsung
Look at me when i'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why
Another tasteless movie
Another kiss goodnight
Could be a dark oasis in my life
Another icon smashed to pieces
By yesterday's romance
Another hated person no more chances
Look at me when i'm talking to you
Look at me in the eyes
Then look away and tell me why...why
Playin' with a happy boy
A cold place for a man
Familiar faces in a foreign land
The hands kept spinning around the face
But the earth stopped cold at dawn
For a moment, then moved on
For a moment, then moved on...
