I am not smooth

I am not soft

I am not angry or mean

I'm just a little shut off

Shut off like the answer no

Or like the way water never holds

I want to be

Better than I am

Oh yes I want to need

Nothing but your hands

'Cause mine are so weak

My body it wants to move in

It wants to move in

And your ankles are so strong

I have seen you kick when you swim

You kick when you swim

This time I know

Yeah this time I know

That I am not wrong

So dry and cracked

My heart is set back

Yeah just like the moon

When it's a silver resting on its back

I will not say

Just exactly how I feel

Because all of the answers

Have yet to be revealed

My body it wants to move in

It wants to move in

And your ankles are so strong

I have seen you kick when you swim

You kick when you swim

This time I know

Yeah this time I know

That I am not wrong

'Cause patience is stronger

Than any kiss

And oh how I wonder

If we're ever going to make it

Are we ever going to make it

Cracker Jack Kid

If there's anything left you will need it now

So reach deep inside yourself

And show them all how

You can survive

And you knew it wasn't gonna be easy

So ease your hand

And take a long drive to unwind

The Cracker Jack Kid

You've got to search for the prize

And always remember

I. me. mine

And you the youngest

Fullest of heart

Yeah you the restless

You could never go to bed

Yeah you the speechless

You pretended that you could read

Until you were ten

The Cracker Jack Kid

You've got to search for the prize

And always remember

I. me. mine

The Cracker Jack Kid

You've got to search for the prize

And always remember

Jump jangle jiggle and rock

Fly through the sky

Sail across the top

Spin out. give out. give in

You're alive

Remember, memories

Don't hold you down

Some of them even make you

Laugh out lout

Yeah you are a smiling

Squinty eyed brow

You've got some kind of something happening

Inside you now

The Cracker Jack Kid

You've got to search for the prize

And always remember

I. me. mine

Well after last night

I fell more vulnerable

Than I've every been

Can't you see that I'm letting you in

I don't know

How much longer I can resist

I don't know

When I'm gonna start breaking

This morning

She called again

She calls every time I start to think you are mine

So if you think that I am lost

And do not have a home

Well guess again

And remember where I've been

Oh, yes I think

I have been here before

I am along in the shower

Seeing myself on the floor

And in the mirror

I stare with a look

Of I do not know where I am coming from

I don't know

How much longer I can resist

I don't know When I'm gonna start breaking

I just want

To try to take this for what it is

Honey but what it is. what it is

Oh yes it seems to be me

Oh yes it seems t be me

You know that I am just

Faking Oh well I am

Faking

I am just

Faking it again

Well after last night

I feel more vulnerable

Falling On Fists

You are full of time

Sixty ticks are on my side

And when I am pissed

You know I resign

This fury

These rock I spit

I want out now

I want out of all of this

Out of all of this

Falling on fists

I'm stepping in time

And I'm taking the garbage

Out of my mind

Falling on fists

Stepping in time

And I'm coming up from behind

N' your teeth are weak

N' your fingers are fat

You can't get your hands inside me

Treating me like that

'Cause my voice is stronger

Than you bank account

And I don't need you promises honey

'Cause you never laid them out

Never them laid them out

So take you sweet self

Out to lunch

And sleep in every room of your

Big House

'Cause without love

You can only resist

N' without feeling

You can't exist

Falling on fists

I'm stepping in time

And I'm taking the garbage

Out of my mind

Out of my mind

Falling on fists

Stepping in time

And I'm coming up from behind

Til You're Dead

I'm thinking that you got some sort of hold on me

It's making me crazy

Making me crazy

N' I know my life it is sort of out of control

But you know my mind goes faster

Than any car on the road

'Cause I thought love was hard

So I tried with all my might

'N I thought love lasted

So I always stayed the night

Now I'm in your chair

And you are talking to me

I can see your lips moving

But I don't hear a thing

So pay attention I said

To my aching head

You know this is it you fool

You're gonna be with this one

'Til you're dead

So I'm taking a walk

Down to my favorite coffee shop

Sit down in the corner

And try to write down my thoughts

But all my thoughts are jumbled

Into some crazy state of grade

And well what I do but soothe it

With a picture of your face

'Cause I thought love was hard

So I tried with all my might

'N I thought love lasted

So I always stayed the night

Now I'm in your chair

And you talking to me

I can see your lips moving

But I don't hear a thing

So pay attention I said

To my aching head

You know this is it you fool

You're gonna be with this one

'Til you're dead

And I am thinking

Oh my God

You know how can this be

I have been waiting so long

For a love to be

And I know that I just talk too much

But tell me

Tell me baby

Don't look good enough for ya baby

Am I looking good enough for ya baby

'Cause I though love was hard

So I tried with all my might

'N I thought love lasted

So I always stayed the night

Now I'm in your chair

And you are talking to me

I can see your lips moving

But I don't hear a thing

So pay attention I said

To my aching head

You know this is it you fool

You're gonna be with this

'Til you're dead

Gotta Go Now

Didn't anyone teach you

How to shoot a gun

And if you keep your eyes that way

They'll never come undone

So look both ways

Before you cross your heart

And hope to die

For your sins

Go to hell

And never come back again

I've gotta go now...

Mmm mmm mmm ...

Freedom of speech is fine

As long as you don't cross the line

So don't move next door

Don't pick up any whores

And don't show anyone your sores

They'll be no white sheets on my block

But my daughter would never marry a black man

So look both ways

Before you cross your heart

And hope to die

For your sins

Go to hell

And never come back again

I've gotta go now ...

Mmm mmm mmm ...

Women can work

As long as dinner is done

And if you let little girls play with trucks

Their sexuality gets all screwed up

And Polish jokes

Are just for fun

You know

Jewish men make good lawyers

And the Chinese know how to clean

And the French are all full of themselves

And who really cares about the Vietnamese

So look both ways

Before you cross your heart

And hope to die

For your sins

Go to hell

And never comeback again

We wonder and then

Walk away with disease

Away with all of the Gays

I've gotta go now ...

Mmm mmm mmm ...

Willing To Wait

Well if I

Had it all

All my life again

Yes if I had it all

And if we

Could slow it down

Wind it down

'N look at everything that we screwed up

Look at everything we messed up

Yeah

Willing to wait

I will survive

I will love every minute of my life

I will not concede

Look at you

So proud

But you lie

So I will sit here and wait

Until all your fantasies fall behind

Look at you

So dead

Yeah, you've got dead eyes

But you've got nothing on me brother

But some kind of distance blood tie

Willing to wait

I will survive

I will love every minute of my life

I will not concede

I will believe

So if I

Am not

Who you thought

I was

Well hello

It's nice to meet you

It's nice to meet you

Yeah

Willing to wait

I will survive

I will love every minute of my life

I will not concede

I will believe

Willing to wait

I will survive

I'm willing to wait

'N I will survive

You know why

'Cause I am the one

Who makes you want me

'N I am the one

Who makes you need me

I am the one

Who lets you tease me

Deceive me

Now get down on your knees and please me

Abuse me abuse me abuse me ...

Stop me from feeling

Stop me from feeling

Stop me from feeling the fear

Of falling in love

Take me from this place

From this awful space and shake me

I want you to shake me

'Til I'm done

I am done

Falling in love

Yeah falling in line

I am waiting on the staircase

Waiting for my time

Waiting for my time

I am done

What I need is completeness

What I need is neatness

I need a messy kind of make it up

As you go along

I need a silence full of nothing

I need to love

Without trying

Without trying to be loving

I am done

Falling in love

Yeah falling in line

I am waiting on the staircase

Waiting for my time

Waiting for my time

I am done

I am done

I am done

Dig a doo bop bop ...

I am done

Falling in love

Yeah falling in line

I am waiting on the staircase

Waiting for my time

Waiting for my time

I am done

I am done

I am done

When You Left

I never asked for answer

Only a fair shot

At what I thought was expected

From the heart

Yeah you told me you had one

Do you remember that

And you told me that I was worth it

Was it easy to forget that

'Cause I don't forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

When you left

You left me half full

Half full of emptiness

All bothered and bloodshot

Putting my hand to my head

And you smelled like denial

And my beer tasted like chalk

But I could hear the sound of your footsteps

Like a ticking pocket watch

'Cause I don't forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used

Baby when you left

When you left

And you know that I never asked for love only a friend

'N what I got was some kind of twisted figure of myself again

'N I know that they say you should see yourself in your lover's eyes

But I can see my soul baby

And it makes me want to die

So now is not the time

To ask me to play

'Cause I can't seem to hold on

To any given day

So please just let me stand here

And sing this song

'Cause it's the only thing you ever gave me

And without it I would drown

'Cause I don't forget anything

'N it scares me half to death

I remember the color of the doorknob

That you used Baby when you left

When you left

When you left

Trouble In My Head

I've got coffee on the table

Yeah the coffee table

And the first smoke of the day

And I am thinking that maybe

I'll think of something good to say

But my mind is traveling

Farther and farther away

'Cause the trouble in my head

Is getting closer and closer to my legs

I've got to walk it out

And the trouble with my heart

Is that I can't take it out

And the trouble with myself

Is that I don't know me

So if you find me

Would you kindly show me

The way home

I have got birds on my roof

that sing beautifully

And then there is me in the living room

And I am screaming to be free

I've got clothes in my bedroom

Yeah and they fit me right

And now I am thinking that maybe

I'll just get dressed up

And go out tonight

'Cause the trouble in my head

Is getting closer and closer to my legs

I've got to walk it out

And the trouble with my heart

Is that I can't rip it out

And the trouble with myself

Is that I don't know me

So if you fine me

Would you kindly show me

The way home

Yeah I know I've got a lot of time on my clock to spare

But not enough to make it from here to there

So if it's not where you're from but where you're at

Well what happens when you have forgotten that ...

Somehow We Get There

Well I'm searching for somethin'

That I can't reach

So I whisper your name

In my sleep

N' time it isn't giving me

The space that I need

But you know at this pace

I don't think

I can

Pull into the lead

Forgiving myself is too simple too hard

There's got to be another way

To stop this car

But you know

Somehow we get there

Through the blind night

We got the while lines flashing past the tip of our headlights

Somehow we get there

From whatever we are

Somehow we get there

No matter how far

'Cause I can't

Carry this around anymore

It's getting heavier with age

It is the boulder in my stomach

It's the avalanche in my veins

So let's leave it behind

I want to bury it beside the road

I will sit there until it comes out of me

I'll be freezing in the summer desert cold

But you know

Somehow we get there

Through the blind night

We got the white lines flashing past the tips of our head lights

Somehow we get there

From wherever we are

Somehow we get there

No matter how far

So hold my head

While I rock

Myself back to sleep

And I tell you that I am not easy

And you tell me that I am

Sweet

Without you

I would never be scared

Without you

I would never dare

Go give in

To sin

To try and tell you why

I am the way I am

You blindfold me

Yeah you scold me

You teach me how to pretend

Yeah you teach me how to bend

Time flies

Just like you and I

And you are on your knees again

Praying to something

That I can't see

But somehow

You make me believe

Lights close

And so do my eyes

Yeah baby you have got the power to hypnotize

Just because this is not exactly what I thought it would be

That does not mean that I do not still dream

With this strength

I will fall down and get back up

I am young and my bones

They just don't want to give up

I will suck the air up

I will push my blood up

I will raise my feet up

Because you know

Times flies

Just like you and I

And you are on your knees again

Praying to something

That I can't see

But somehow

You make me believe

Time flies

Time flies
