I'm spinning in squares not circles Because of the stairs like hurdles Keep me from falling too quickly To the ground I'm down on my luck and my wet bar Feeling so stuck in this whole art It's messing me up because it's messy I'm licking my cuts and putting on dressings If you keep me around I promise to let you down If you keep me around there won't be others to worry about If you keep me around I just might be safe and sound If you keep me around Guided by fear and instinct Looking for cover and a stiff drink I need to feel different somehow I can't adjust to this right now If you keep me around I promise to let you down If you keep me around there won't be others to worry about If you keep me around I just might be safe and sound If you keep me around And it's not like we have anything to do And it's not like I need anyone else but you There's a touch of forgiveness in everything And it hits with a quickness of sharp pain But it gets better to bliss I know because I've already done this If you keep me around I promise to let you down If you keep me around there won't be others to worry about If you keep me around I just might be safe and sound If you keep me around I just might be safe and sound If you keep me around

Saw the front door slam through my rear view In sky-blue And it broke me down And I have to tell my friends I don't care And you're there And it broke me down And it broke me down But you should build me up Not break me down, baby. I got no records to keep No home and nowhere to sleep You gave me one chance it was the first one the last one, baby I got no records to keep A lot on my plate and nothing to eat You gave me one chance it was the first one the last one baby (repeat)

A desperate man a drunk Stares at a pail of water Tries to see his face as it looked long ago But he can't hold it steady And the water starts to ripple He's drunk again sleeping by the well Drunk again The old man probably saw it coming The things his body told him, he could have changed his fate The old man saw it coming But he was too afraid to move out of the way Too afraid A couple drove the backroads going separate ways She was headed west, he was headed home Searching for himself, while she had found her freedom They learned by being together they were better off alone They learned by being together, they were better off alone And I saw it coming The little things she told me I could have changed my fate I saw it coming But I was too afraid to live, too afraid to die.

No more redemption I'm stuck in my ways Take it or leave it Don't ask me to stay Too many times now I've knocked at your door Pressing for answers Looking for more Waiting for the bottom to fall out again Holding on to nothing with both hands I'm not certain I'll see you my friend When I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out again No one can tell us It's our price to pay Consider some closure or ask me to stay Too many times now You knocked at my door Crushing my senses Asking for more Waiting for the bottom to fall out again Holding on to nothing with both hands I'm not certain I'll see you my friend When I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out again There were times I looked the other way Now it seems we've grown out of grace Who can say we were wrong? Take what we need to move on Waiting for the bottom to fall out again Holding on to nothing with both hands I'm not certain I'll see you my friend When I'm waiting for the bottom to fall out again

Nearly lost my head in Boston Talking to her late at night We never met in person Now I’m trying to set that right For two years I’ve planned to make this happen But I’ve looked for it all my life This kind of love don’t come easy 8000 miles and then a fight But I’m going anyway My bags are packed I’m sitting on this runway Now there’s no turning back Your daddy said no He left no doubt But we got two weeks in the Philippines to figure it out Waiting in Narita I pulled out her picture I swore I wouldn’t get this way Never met her but I miss her I’ll make manila by the break of day Because I’m going anyway I am almost there There won’t be any honeymoon but I don’t really care I’ll always wonder And have my doubts And I got two weeks in the Philippines to figure it out And this boy from Oklahoma don’t measure up Too grizzled and grown to make the grade I could call it a rescue but it don’t matter much I’m too old for dreams that keep me awake I’m too old for dreams that keep me awake No one greet me at the station Party of one at the hotel bar Same old feelings different location Alone and strange and badly scarred But I went anyway, I felt it all I’m two flights away from being home And one step from a fall I looked for an answer It wasn’t all I found And I had two weeks in the Philippines to figure it out

Filling my ashtray baby Got lungs like the road Can't see anymore Smell perfume as it comes in the door Wasted youth on religion Kept my young body to myself Fun was every man's living Trading tender touches for hell Save me from this devil baby I need a body to hold The trees hold the air The ground holds the cold And I'm getting old I was a piece of work it was a piece of me So a rich man could build a factory I could have loved if I'd but seen How alone I could be Save me from this devil baby I need a body to hold The trees hold the air The ground holds the cold and I'm and getting old no no no no I'm getting old

I'm sending you subatomic messages I'm hoping and praying you receive I'm getting high of the weeds you grow in my mind I'm just relaxing Baby I'm chilling I'm getting high off the weeds you grow in my mind I'm sending you subatomic messages From the banks of the Rio Dulce I'm getting tall on the weeds you grow in my mind Sipping on the fruit of the vine I'm getting tall on the weeds you grow in my mind I'm sending you subatomic messages from this side of the Great Divide I'm getting tall on the weeds you grow in my mind swimming sweet streams on a mountainside I'm getting tall on the weeds you grown in my mind

Living the life of my convictions Searching for answers making the grade We were lovers with different intentions We couldn't fit in the boxes we made I didn't wake up to smell the coffee I didn't hear you get out of bed I looked around for a warning But you were gone before you left It was later there was another Chaotic liaison at best Going separate ways bound together Until we ran out of gas At the end of my rope I keep tying knots Spinning my own web I didn't know that letting go would take so long A change of scenery, a new direction Trying to make up those wasted years Now I'm claiming progress not perfection Working through my doubts and fears I didn't wake up to smell the coffee I didn't hear you get out of bed I looked around for a warning You were gone before you left I looked around, there were warnings and you were gone before you left

Drive this one over this cliff In my brand new bag You'd say I'd gone, Lord I'd say you quit How come you're the only one, I could ever have? You can tell everybody in town That your man why he done left with her but as for you and me, woman, how do you see it? I just don't think I'll ever see you again You're the one who said it'd never end You didn't even think it nice to ask me And I know you were't so proud, so damn proud When I baffled both our good eyes with our shiny white gold wedding rings And you can tell everybody in town That your man, he done left with her But as for you and me, woman how do you see it? I just don't think I'll ever see you again And do you think it's right that living with you has taught me to be immune to a thousand types of pain not yet discovered by man So I'll just sit here earning my living With these grease stains on my fingers and finally some comfort in my hands And you can tell everybody in town That your man why he done left with her but as for you and me, woman, how do you see it? I just don't think I'll ever see you again Drive this one over the cliff, in my brand new bag

I can't stand what's going on I wish we all could get along Despite what we each think we each do wrong No I can't stand what's going on What lies ahead Will we all prosper will we wind up dead Will I find the redemption I crave in my head no no I can't see what lies ahead I can't stand what's going on I wish we all could get along despite what we each think we each do wrong no I can't stand what's going on Why won't you look me in the eye And say with your mouth all that you write If I were to say, all on my mind That wouldn't be polite No, That wouldn't be polite I can't live by a truth anymore They change all the time, there's got to be more Half of them lies you buy at the store no no I can't live by a truth anymore I can't die by a truth anymore I can't stand what's going on I wish we all could get along despite what we each think we each do wrong No, I can't stand what's going on.
