If I win some races, it don't mean that I'm fastest
It don't mean that I'm better than anyone
And if I ride some horses with great speed over courses
It'll be 'cause you waited for me at the lin...
And I'm pulling on the red chord
That pulls you back to me Lord
It helps me out
When you're away
When I was in the army
And they called you back to save me
And I was resting soft
In the ar...
Down on my check
Eat on my bet
Cool and the gang play on the radio
Back on the block
Picking the locks
And I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town
Late on my rent
And my money's all...
My simple slant
My broken chant
My human fate
My revelate
Are you so far from me this day
That you can't say my revelate
My open arms
My lucky charm
Number eight my revelate
I fucked it ...
The books that you gave me, they had no pages
No picture book stories to put inside my song
And the heroes you made me, they had no faces
No chisel jaw features to carve my own on
And there's...
Your big mouth, steelish stare
It fills my wings, enough to fly
I sent a letter on a stone
Through your window down the hall
One more day, still stuck in here
I burnt my words, on a beaten...
And the light you gave
You took away when you were gone
It's a war that can't be won
With fists or talk or money
And there's no escape
But I'd better stop complaining now
I guess because
T...
Let me off of this boat
I'm sick of this ride
The world is heading ever southward
And I can't stay in here
And you're lying awake
Away on your side
The feeling comes in waves and burns us
...
Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I'm looking for a sign
In this dark uneasy time
So i...
Your will changes everyday
It's a road you've come upon
I can't help you if you want to
Down here nothing gets a chance
It's a threat that's real enough
We can burn this bridge or stay here
I...
Leaving, but never far enough
Like a ship caught in the bay
We'll show each other where it hurts
And well make the fuckers pay
And what is it we don't do well enough
That were constantly afrai...
Lying in the sickbed waiting to go
Fill me with morphine and Demerol
Swa__ of the cast off, just lye in the shade
Closer to Christ now, kneeling down on the blade
But don't leave me drowning
T...
Maybe I should just move along
But you know I'd draw blood if that's what you want
You found someone who makes you laugh
Who'd stick around but that's not what you want
You slipped at the s...
Dryin' up in conversation, still
My head was halfway round the world
And workin' through the sleepin' hours
Driven by the promise of a quick return
And I wonder if she'll be the very same
And ...
Star star teach me how to shine shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who say the hill's to steep
Well they talk and talk forever
But the...
The stars are underground
And the proof is flying overhead
So kick me when I'm down
And I'll be the one you're laughing about now
I don't know if its real
Or how I'm supposed to feel now
That...
Come back, show your face
Don't you see
You're too good for this place
Can we leave.
It's not your fault, what they say
Don't believe..
Or would you rather suffer in silence.
And defeat
O...
There was a head on collision
At my front door today
One man died
And another man tried to stop it
There was a head on collision
At my front door today
One man died
And another man tried t...
When you look and find
You('ve) lost your place
To the girl behind
With the honest face
Ain't that the way..
Your heroes
They pass by on broken feet
With the girls they find
Between the...
Love has been the cause
Of all this suffering
And what has been our loss
So lay your burdens down
And stop your crying
Will you let it burn
Burn us down, burn us
Low have been the odds
