Did you ever hear
The one about last year
It was all a lie
Ain't it funny how the time flies
What we gonna do baby
What is left for us to prove
I've never stolen nothing, not a thing
Tried to stay away from this year's
Big thing
Ain't as easy as it seems
To find a mutual dream
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know confess

Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy

Now you got a question about your answer
Say try your adam's apple
You talk it try it bite it right
So now you want to fight? Ok
Let's step outside
I got tradition it's an addition
My definition it don't hold me back
Well what you think about that
What you don't understand
This is a very old land
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know confess

Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy

This is illegal
Thru an evil eye
And I won't deceive you
This I testify
You all know the reason why
I won't enslave you

A little bliss forever
I'm not afraid to love you
A little bliss forever

Look at the world with an evil eye
Your cold heart won't let you cry
Try to make a change in the wink of an eye
Do you have it in you to even try?

Jesus can't save you
Though it's nice to think he'd try
This is not to scare you
This is to make sense of your time
Do prophets speak in rhymes?
Then you die!

I lose myself
I forget myself
Sometimes I fault myself
I might fight myself
But then I make amends

I freeze myself
Rain on myself
Ok, so I stone myself
And I might even find myself
But then again what happens if I do

So unzip my pride
Open me up wide
So I can show this to you

I want to shine for you
I want to sparkle too
Just like a diamond cursed
Well you know it don't get worse
You know that I'll save you time
Your trouble now is mine

Hold me baby
Hold me girl
And I will laugh with you
If you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
And show you victory

I hate myself
Doesn't everybody hate themselves
So what, I scare myself
Then I tell myself that it's all in my mind
So I let the poison go
'Cause baby I always know
It will be there for me

I am a cobweb
in the corner of the room
I tell you I build myself a boat baby
so c'mon and cry me a monsoon

get busy on it
and make it deep

chorus:
imagine how surprised all the kids will be
empty bottles, saviors they crawl
that has always been and will always be
there's a hornet's nest in my head,
come and save me

If I dont say nothing (if I don't say nothing)
you say now tell us what to do
so I tell ya'll this is just how I feel
someone else calls it the news
but that's yesterday
yesterday's news

chorus

Dirty hair halo
There you go
Here I am
Wonder in my eyes
You see Dirty hair halo
Where you go
Tell me where you have been
Lost in sad silver skies

I cry
Romance of a downfall
Memory like a waterfall
Feeling like I've never lived before
Leading life takes two to soar
It's not happening to me

Dirty hair halo
Never knows
Thinks out loud
And I just have to smile inside
Dirty hair halo
Always knows
Never cheats, not proud
Matter of fact, she is just fine

Any time
Romance of her downfall
Memory like a waterfall
Feeling like I've never lived before
Leading life takes two to soar
It's not happening to me

All the time 

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine
In between I get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride open and kind
This draws a line
Sorry to coin a phrase
On either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time
Racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes
Forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby

A charmed life it is
At least they tell yo so
I got a good idea
It ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go
Let me go
Any day there might be hell to pay
But in other ways
It makes it seem ok
I'll tell you what I mean
It's not a plot nor a scheme
It's just peace in my mind
Again can I use the word kind
I ain't sorry about it baby
Chorus 

I feel clean again
I don't waste my sin
I can't spare a grin
Because it's bad blood time again

My morning full on speed
No it's not so rare to me
This is, this is a hungry need
Won't you help me to plant the seed

And if it grows
Yes, we'll know, oh we'll know
If I found you a floating feather
Sent down to help me fly away
If I found you a floating feather
I would be amazed
I'd be amazed

Your lips taste dry again
A death cold has got your skin
I'm not lost in who loses or wins
I would just like for this spell to end

Cause I'm ready
Ready to begin
Begin again
If I found you a floating feather
Sent down to help me fly away
If I found you a floating feather
I would be amazed

I, well I remember one time
You were all smiles
Nothing stood in our way
Well so here I am now
Here I am just wanting to return to those days
We'll get there baby
I'll take you there babe
Oh, we will find, we will find our way

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do

I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet

The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry

I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love you like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar

The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry

I forgot I found you tied up and swallowed
A mess with the magic and the knot
You touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite ya
Sin, skin, sounds wrong but it's not

Chorus:

Everybody says that you're such a pity
Well baby, they, they ought to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya baby, they, they ought to know

Touched from up above and touched between your legs
But which one, baby, burns
So you've been touched so many times so many ways
Come on baby, who gets hurt

Chorus

Chorus

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile

You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another road song
Funny but I bet you never left home

On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach

Fourteen seconds till' sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightning 30 miles away
Three thousand more in two days

On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach

Instrumental

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again
Open your eyes
This time it's sink or it's swim
No sermons on ascending
No verdict on deceit
No selfish memorandum
No confusion for me

Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools
Have mercy baby
And hand me downs
It was just a few years ago
You'd hand me ups and map
Right out of town
But I would let it slide
Like mercury
Silver and quick
Poisonous and deadly
So deadly

Yes I'm full blown low down
Full blown low down
Fear a sound from way down
From way on down
Make a man's backbone stiff now
That is low down
So low down

Slowly roll low, low down
Slowly roll down
Alone and our hearts slow down
Want to slow down
Ya see the devil like to get down
That is so low down
So low down

Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you want to be
Fear and love from down or from up above
Come to me
Come to me
I beg you please to set me free
I beg you baby
Yeah

Like a one-eyed dog's growl
When the foul wind blows around
An evil kiss on my brow
So I go down
You know I go low down

Hate and greed
My hate and my greed
Swollen and sweet
So swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
Well if you wanna start then this is the way you ought to be
Fear and love
With our fears and all our love
From down or above
From here baby or from up above
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
And I'll let you
I'll let you set me free. 

Sit down by the window and watch the tornado
Wait for the sheriff to bring some dirty water by
Help yourself out to some of my disaster
Its movin' faster

Than the last time I was on speed
Don't you know what I mean
Cause it's ways and means and your ways are mean
By definition
I could fill this page up with this boys ambition
But I don't audition
Oh yes that's true
I could never act for you



Heard you saw some friends of mine last winter
Then again, I heard you disappeared into ether
I don't laugh and you smile because I'm tired
I'm feelin wired oh so weary
And oh so old
Am I being too bold
Bold enough to ask you if you really love me

In my shadows and in my dreams
And just one last thing
Please let me say
And that is please,
Oh please, please stay away, from me

Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear
Make my honey
Grind that salt before the rains come this year
Make it all muddy

So now you have called
And now you want to ring my neck
Oh baby you talk so tight
Tell me now who's all wet

I could kiss your promiscuous mind

My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear
Make us all alone
Wind your watch and bless all my prayers
Make ready to get home

Oh now you get so hard
Now you ring my neck
Now you wanna talk so tight
Tell me who's all wet

I could kiss your promiscuous mind
I could kiss your promiscuous mind

Yes I could

I have four lone stars
That you have given me

Yeah, why don't you give it baby
Well, the feeling you're giving baby
Tell me, what you give away
Give it, give it, give it

Thunderstorm 6:54
Is it me or should I lock the door
Silly it seems, afraid to answer the phone
Someone could say that I'm paranoid

Scissors and string
Soon it will be spring
What will sister bring
Conjure my black game

The daydreams that keep you away
No mown grass, no sunburn
No talk of doomsday
Funny it seems, the ways of these days
Scars cover me, I start to need the pain

Scissors and string
Soon it will be spring
What will sister bring
Conjure my black game

Thunderstorm 6:54
Righteous is this rain
And love and love
Love is your sad prose
Ooh yeah, sad, sad prose

Seven less sorrows
Seven more mistakes
Seven things to borrow
Seven more to take
Seven times I've fallen
Seven times I'm up
Six times I've wondered
Where was one more?

Why did I sleep so late?
Lost my mind seven days straight
If I go for sever more
Paint an 8 on my door

Sevens windows
And seven doors
Seven sisters
And seven boys
Seven full words
And seven lines
Same old story
Same old crime

Why did I sleep so late?
Lost my mind for seven days straight
If I go for seven more
Paint an 8 on my door

Why did I sleep so late?
Lost my mind for seven days straight
If I go for seven more
Paint an 8 on my door 

Kiss me goodnight, shake me awake
The closer I get to you the more I can't wait
Roll on down here; smell my brakes
No time for coffee, just splash water on my face
Kick my tires, count out-of-state plates
Roll down my window, don't the wind feel great
Sunrise my friend, sunset again
The song I keep humming while my four wheels are spinning
Another road, another road, another roadside tragedy

Wind it down and back it up
I might get there sooner than I thought
No warranty or no wear and tear
It don't matter just as long as I get there
Another road, another road, another roadside tragedy
Another road, another road, another roadside tragedy

Another road, another road, another roadside tragedy
Another road, another road, another roadside tragedy

When you're lost, then I am found
When you slip, I hold my ground
When I fall, please take your bow
And when you're up, just remember I've been down. I'm down

People looking for fortune and fame
They don't know that it's all the same
Just like any other game
You know there has got to be a loser

If it ever stops raining
If it ever stops raining
If it ever stops raining
We can dry our eyes

I've been over the hill and back
Survived every kind of attack
Been a few times at bat, as a matter of fact

Good luck is just good luck
Can you go hungry if you pot luck?
I've been down, but never on my knees
I've seen the forest for the trees

If it ever stops raining
If it ever stops raining
If it ever stops raining
We can dry our eyes

It turned ugly that day
Tried to hide my heart
And run away
Will it always be this way
I can't see the future
No way to say

You've beautiful but you've flawed
You've desperate but you've strong
You've lonely but never alone
You've empty, like Wyoming and me

It's the nature of things
Tried to leave a little
Of what you bring
Let's all join hands
And form a ring
Cross your fingers
Then we will sing

You've beautiful but you've flawed
You've desperate but you've strong
You've lonely but never alone
And you've empty, like Wyoming and me

You've beautiful but you've flawed
You've desperate but you've strong
You've lonely but never alone
An you've empty, like Wyoming and me

Dug yourself out of
The hole you were in
Heard you got a new job
Selling half of nothing

Why don't you come to town
Ain't seen you hanging round
I'm going to hear your new scheme
Fill me in on your pipe dream

You're so predictable
You're all the same
You're so predictable
You're all the same

Whatever became of all these years
You're like nuts you're so fried
Who's wet behind their ears

Why don't you come to town
Ain't seen you hangin' round
I'm going to hear your new scheme
Fill me up with your pipe dreams

You're so predictable
You're all the same
You're so predictable
You're all the same

I could lay my head down on your floor
Empty my pockets to make room for more
I can make it bleed or just make it sore

Well I
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song

Some day I will find my home in the ground
Hand on my bottle and I looked around
Some day I'll leave this place for some holy ground

Well I
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song

I want you to sing along
Never forget this song
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song
I've got to sing along
Never forget this song

Headaches, heartaches
Windfalls and pitfalls
They pay what they pay

Car crash, talk trash
Bloodbaths and witchcraft
If that's what you see

[Chorus:]
How can I make somethin' so wrong somethin' so right
How can I make somethin' so wrong somethin' so right

Shipwreck, lifevest
You swim to shore
Or you sink away
Mistake, bad take
Just spit it out
And it goes away

One time I was down and out
And out and in
Well I had myself a little problem
But that's not where I want to begin
Cause lately there's been a funny feeling
That's peering out from inside
I thought that I loved you baby but
I know I got to survive

And I know, know in my heart
It's better that we're apart
I love you but you ain't no friend
This is where I want to be grinnin'

Grinnin' all the time
You're on your way, I'm on mine

Now this sordid little tale
Has come to an end
All those evenings I was gone and you were
Hanging out with your so-called friends
But a rumor is a rumor, I want the truth
I wasn't born yesterday, I know what you're up to

And I know down in my heart
It's better that we're apart
I love you but you ain't no friend
This is where I want to be grinnin'

Grinnin' all the time
You're on your way, I'm on mine

You were so sad, you made my dogs howl
You kept the ring, forgot the vow
You were so sick that you almost died
You needed help but nobody tried

Will this crime ever go to trial?
My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me
This love won't let me be
My heart's killing me
It's just you, it's just me
My heart's killing me

One sad bird, one sad fence
I cannot love, I've no defense
Staring at two helpless hands
And all I want is to hold you again

Will this crime ever go to trial?
My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me
This love won't let me be
My heart's killing me
It's just you, it's just me
My heart's killing me

You're not promised a hot meal
It's just another raw deal
Just another rainy day, everyday yeah
So you say that you cannot relate
No, no its not up for debate
You know your bills they cannot wait
But you still have time

[Chorus:]
You'll find peace anyway
You'll find peace anyway

Just got to look baby, alright
Listen

So your bright eyes, they don't shine
And your watch, it don't keep time
Well guess what, neither does mine
Neither does mine
It just makes you want to cry
Just drink it all and say goodnight
But giving up don't make it right
Alright, alright

[Chorus]
And well I know that you might get so scared
Well, about what you find
What it means to you baby when you get there
