Dirt

Siren's going off inside my head
Another gun shot another man dead
The cities screaming, screaming out in pain
I feel a twister spinning 'round in my brain

You stand there, screaming out for justice
And they keep asking won't you trust us
I'm not sure what I should believe
Why do they think we're so naive?

And when they knock upon your door
Talking all that shit, that shit you heard before
And when they try and f**k you around
Knock 'em to their knees
Drop 'em to the ground

You stand there, screaming out for justice
And they keep asking, "won't you trust us"?
I'm not sure what I should believe
Why do they think we're so naive?


Drive A Train

You drive a train
straight on through my brain
You cause the strain
You cause the pain inside

And if you think
It'll help to have a drink
Think again because you're wrong

I'll tie your shows
Pick you up when you got the blues
Do what you choose, don't want to lose

A slice of pie
taken from my eye
I won't cry and you won't die, oh no

A broken dish
It's like a drowning fish
I've my last wish, I wish that
you would go away and leave me here

And when I fall
You always seem to call
Then I drop the ball
It's all for one, and one for all, it's plain to see
That I can't take you  anymore
I can't take you anymore
Walk out my door, don't want you 'round here, anymore

My feet they ache
I've got a cake to bake,
a lawn to rake,
mistakes to make oh yeah

You're so blind
Someday you will find
What it is you're looking for

To think of us
I try hard not to cuss
I don't want to make a fuss

My memory, it tortures me
It tortures me constantly
It seems so long
Seems like I'm always wrong
That is why we had to write this song

Alone again
Just me, the paper, and my pen
I can't take you anymore


Falling

Someone is calling I feel like I'm falling apart
One thing is certain there's something
that's hurting my heart
You look so pretty like a big lit up city at night
Father I'm lonely it's hard to keep up the fight

But I don't know what to say anymore
I'd still like to ask you to catch my fall
And if I could you know, I would break-down and cry
But I'm too busy asking myself why?

You look so happy all dressed
up so snappy and smart
You'll never know what you're doing
to me and my heart
Powder your noise and put on your
black hose to go out
You'll never know what it is that we're singin' about

But I don't know what to say anymore
I'd still like to ask you to catch my fall
And if I could you know, I would break-down and cry
But I'm too busy asking myself why?

Loneliness

I sit in my room, and stare at the walls
Thinking what I'll do next
I go from the bed, to the door, to my desk
and back again
Lost inside this room of mine

Slowly I go insane, the loneliness is such great pain
I've got to break this spell I'm under

Like a puzzle I can't solve
or a game I just can't win
The way I feel on the inside
I can't even begin
I'm so lost inside this little room of mine

Slowly I go insane, the loneliness is such great pain
I've got to break this spell I'm under

Well I scream out, but no one,
no one hears a thing
Some would smile for peace and quiet
hear me scream for some noise
I'm like the only child locked inside
with all my toys...


Oblivion

Looking through these slits that I
call eyes I watch the cigarette smoke
rise into the light above my head
sometimes I wonder I'm not dead and
gone, a memory, a lost soul for eternity
Raging river, swift and fast
forget your future remember your past
Monsters come and demons roam
along the road that takes you home
A one way train you've gotta ride
if you hope to get to the other side of
Oblivion, Oblivion, Oblivion

Taken away in chains like a slave
Then your forced to go down and
dig your own grave
Shovel in hand, pick by your side,
eight feet deep by five feet wide
Now that your done go ahead,
jump right in, your eulogy's about to begin
Forgotten you'll be as forgotten you are
it's a one man show yeah, and babe your the star

Lightning from the mountain strikes my soul
A power trip out of control
The past and future melt as one
I'm down for oblivion


Rainmaker

I didn't mean to make you feel the way
I made you feel last night and now I've got
to get a hold and make sure everything's alright
The glass is empty, your eyes are full

I don't mean to make you feel this bad
It's just this dream I've got I hope you understand
And the rain fell down
Falls from her eyes
Floods up her life
Clouds up her skies

And now it seems that all your blue skies
have gone and turned to grey, and you're
left standing there with nothing left to say
The glass is empty, your eyes are full

I don't mean to make you feel this bad
It's just this dream I've got I hope you understand
And the rain fell down
Falls from her eyes
Floods up her life
Clouds up her skies

You got up and walked away from me
Well if you felt that strong
girl it was meant to be

And the rain fell down
Falls from her eyes
Floods up her life
Clouds up her skies

And now I see you on the street today
I have to turn around and walk the other way
How do you think that feels to me?

I don't mean to make you feel this bad
It's just this dream I've got I hope you understand
And the rain fell down
Falls from her eyes
Floods up her life
Clouds up her skies


Real World

And I open my eyes, and look out my window
I see the sky, so black and grey
When everything's right, and nothing is wrong
I won't have to sing, to sing this song

The leaves all turn brown, the cold wind will blow
They're waiting in vain, for a blanket of snow
She walks away, he says come back
She doesn't stop, his sky turns to black

In a splendid display of fury, she screamed and bit my lip
Like a dragonfly on acid, she slowly lost her grip
and damned she is as damned she was
to fly amongst the stars
To cruise the strip for cats like you
in beefy muscle cars
The paintings hang alone at night
free from prying eyes
The captain knows it's over now he hears
the pirate's cries
Smiling, so I smile at you and
fuck you in my brain
Without a word but just a thought
Your sheets I'd like to stain
Now my lip it bleeds and throbs
Her laughter turned to tears cause
damned she is as damned she was
for one thousand years

And where was the sun, when I needed it most
It was faded and grey, just like an old ghost
I open my eyes, my body uncurled
And for the first time
I saw the real world


Room With A View

I just want a room with a view
It'd be so nice if I could share my room with you
Four walls, a chair, and a window to stare through
I just want a room with a view
Leave me alone with my thoughts of yesterday
Leave me alone, just walk away

A room with a view
A room with a view

Don't need no pills, that's not the cure
Don't need no gun, no gun for sure
No powder up my nose
No needle between my toes
No monkey on my back
Got no family dressed in black
Just a room with a view, that's all I request
Just a room with a view

Standing out in the cold
Looking in, and feeling mighty bold
And no one can see, the inside of me
No one can see

A room with a view
A room with a view


Shove

Creeping, crawling, your always calling
On my back, your always falling
Minds that crash, you've got a finger gash
and your the one I'd like to smash

Fear my life, fear my love
Strong below and weak above

Jellyfish, I'm gonna make a wish
I'd like to cook you up in a spicy dish
Cry boy cry your gonna lie boy lie
Well you can knock me down, but I won't die

Fear my life, fear my love
Strong below and weak above
Toe to toe, just you let it pass
Gonna shove that hate right on up your...

I'm gonna shove
It right on up
I'm gonna shove

My sense of humor's getting bigger
Things they start to grow
Stand em' up I'll knock em' down
like soldiers in a row
Dirty down and gone astray
Now this is where I rest
And even though I'm at my worst
you'll never get my best

The telephones ringing
I hear dead birds singing
The water's cold
My skin it's stinging
Eyes are burning as heads keep turning
I'm teaching class, but you're not learning

Fear my life, fear my love
Strong below and weak above
Toe to toe, just you let it pass
Gonna shove that hate right on up your a...


Sing A Long

Desperation's not be coming
now I've come to see the light
Anxious to unravel but
the presents wrapped to tight
Sneaking into you head
To find out what you fear
Packed my bags and went on home
'Cause you didn't want me here

You didn't want me, I knew it from the start
You didn't want me, I felt it in my heart
You didn't want me, don't try to say I'm wrong
You didn't want me, you refuse to sing along

You refuse to sing along..

Clipping pictures from the paper
to put up on my wall
Looking up at all my hero's
sometimes I trip and fall
Strangers everywhere I look
My heart is just so green
Struggling with my conscience
like a classic movie scene

You didn't want me...
You refuse to sing along...

Whispers often seem to scream
like a bullet through my head
I've lost another piece of the puzzle
and I'm starting to see red
Take a peek into your eyes
to see what you can lend
The pen is running out of ink
So I guess that it's the end

You didn't want me...
You refuse to sing along...


Wanna Be

What's wrong with what I wanna be
I always thought that I was free
to do the best of what I have
right here where I am
So if you're watching clear your mind
You're never sure what you might find

It's my heart and my soul
It's all I know
All I wanna, all I wanna
All I wanna be is me
All I wanna be is me

Well I'm not here to rub your feet
or tickle your toes
But if I stroke you just right
Then that's the way it goes
He looks so good, he looks a mess
If you don't know, hey, you can guess

It's my heart and my soul
It's all I know
All I wanna, all I wanna
All I wanna be is me
All I wanna be is me

Well if you, well if you, well if you
wand to pretend
I'll be your, I'll be your, I'll be your
lover your best friend
And I will, and I will, and I will
never let you down

It's my heart and my soul
It's all I know
All I wanna, all I wanna
All I wanna be is me
All I wanna be is me


Wildflower Sea

I'm planted in a flower bed with roses at my right
I've had to fight for water, struggle for sunlight
No one ever asked me where I'd like to be
I would have told them plant me
in the wildflower sea

Under the bright yellow sun
so live, so fresh, so free
where no one tends to you at all
They just let you be
growing in the wildflower sea
Growing in the wild

The tulips on my left have high hopes in life
The wildflowers that I know live
on the edge of the knife
I'm no wallflower but I know I'll never be
a flower growing in the wildflower sea

Under the bright yellow sun
so live, so fresh, so free
where no one tends to you at all
They just let you be
growing in the wildflower sea
Growing in the wild

Now it's oh so nice in the place where I grow
They'd be so sad if only they could know
That I'll never be happy as long as I'm not free
Growing with the wildflowers in the wildflower sea

Wildflower, what's it like?


3 Phone Calls

I shouldn't say what I don't mean
I could avoid such a constant scene
Please remember I'm only human
I'm just like you

Sixteen sleepless nights, fourteen starving days,
five hours of darkness, oh
One more look at you, two long letters,
three phone calls to your heart

Once I held the map in my hands
and I saw the road to your heart
The wind blew it all away
Took away my sunny day

Sixteen sleepless nights, fourteen starving days,
five hours of darkness, oh
One more look at you, two long letters,
three phone calls to your heart

And which way will I run now that you're gone
Who will I call on?


12 O'Clock Haircut

In my mirror I look a mess,
a life of turmoil and distress
I sit at home depressed and sour
waiting for that special hour
Then I'll get just what I'm needing
Don't ask where it's all leading

What's done is done it can't be changed
It's part of like to rearrange
It's a twelve o'clock haircut you know
I watch the dead ends fall like snow
They litter up the chair and me
My eyes are closed but still see
She snips away, I let her go
and when she'll finish I don't know
It's a twelve o'clock haircut for me

It's darkest just before the dawn
That's when I know my day is done
Screaming guitars in my ears
the sound of people laughing

What's done is done it can't be changed
It's part of like to rearrange
It's a twelve o'clock haircut you know
I watch the dead ends fall like snow
They litter up the chair and me
My eyes are closed but still see
She snips away, I let her go
and when she'll finish I don't know
It's a twelve o'clock haircut for me
