Red Star Belgrade "end of the line" Favourite Thing I'll chase the flies from your eyes and dreg you to the sycamores I'll hold a service just for you I'll tell the vultures and the crows To stay away just for the day They can hunger in the dust They can hunger in the dust I'll find the plates and track 'em down They never stopped no not for you Must have had somewhere to go This asphalt ribbon is taking us away Now you're gone There's nothing left to say Raindrops on roses Whiskers on kittens You were the only one The one to leave me smitten Empty words and chunks of clay Hare comes another spring Walking from the service now The darkness comas in flashes I need to be somewhere to scatter all your ashes I need to go somewhere where the sadness never rings Never to forget you wre my favourite thing End Of The Line Steam clouds rise whiel the Earth keeps sinking This is the end of the line Knew I'd get better if I'd just stop thinking Sad to say I'm doing fine Vacant church on a Christmas day This is the end of the line Everyone shopping and no one prayed We're at the end of the decline We're all headed fore land of sunshine A gentle kingdom where it never rains A silent place where you can't hear the gears grind And where you'll feel no pain I want to take you there with me Out past the cold machinery It's the only place where we can be Sometimes I wonder where the hell you went Up above or down below And I think about your final days Bedsome and nothing left to show I often think of you when times get tough I think about you all the time When I'm feeling like I've had enough No longer helped out by the wine So I sing this with a cloudy eye This is the end of the line Never at peace but quite prepared to die Just sick and tired of keeping time Just sick and tired of keeping time Just sick and tired of making rhymes I'm sick and tired And we're all headed fore land of sunshine Saddest Girl Didn't amount to much Didn't amount to anything But you're the one that keeps me here when the skies are threatening You shouldn't be out on a night like this You should be home where you can't resist There's not a damn thing we can go I've got me and you've got you I've got the saddest girl in the world She's like a fish floppin' on the land Sometimes it hurts just to see her smile This world is more than she can stand I've got the saddest girl in the wedd She's like a fish dying on the land Sometimes I wonder why I keep her here Only the sad ones can understand Didn't amount to much Didn't amount to anything But I'm the one that keeps you here The one that keeps you suffering Only the sad ones can understand Only the sad ones can really know Only the sad ones admit the truth They're here because there's no place left to go Union, SC They'll never find 'em in the lake if I cry an ocean I can feign motherly love and devotion Dragnet's closin' in...l won't crack I'm the Meryl Streep of murder a female Dahmer Alligator actress I'm a real snake charmer Sometimes I can even fool myself I was dumb to tell the Sherrift that he was a nigger Should have drawn him meaner ore little Saddeat Girl bit bigger Instead he looked like something from a Fat Albert cartoon Union...look what I've done I put you on the map in the worst possible way Union...cry for my sons You'll never understand and there's nothing I can say I saw the car just sinkin' and some tiny bubbles On the shore my heart just turned to rubble Looked up at the moon and I heard it weep I'm an avator of evil in a rotten time Perpetrator of a most heinous crime I know something God can't forgive I'm the Meryl Streep of murder a female Dahmer Alligator actress I'm a real snake charmer I can feel the noose around my neck Age Of Regret I see the midgets getting on and oft the bus One day that was me I see them smiling in the back One day I was free So many things we'll never have The college girls don't bat an eye now That was years and pounds ago I don't even try now That was years and pounds ago These are songs of esperience Now that I know I'm not so innocent or bold Somehow I lost my confidence You crawl into my bed You keep me safe and warm This life can be so mean And yet it has a certain charm Sorry I had to go I couldn't stand to stay I had to get right out of there I had to get away Welcome to the age of regret To the monchromes and so-alones Now that I know I'm not so innocent or bold Somehow I lost my confidence These are songs of esparience There are no songs of innocence First Night The first night wasn't rough I made it on my own And then the sun fell down again I never felt so all alone - all alone I miss you in my bed So I keep you in my prayers I cried until my ears were full At the bottom of the stairs - all alone I never cried for anyone 'Iii there was you I never cried for anyone Never had a friend so true The night just never goes away It's always starless end black Wish that you were here right now 'Cause I can't get it back on track And I'm all alone I've seen my friends all slip away It's something I aspect They've all left for different worlds But it hurts me nonetheless I put my father in the ground And I never spilled a drop I often wonder why But I never think to stop I never cried for anyone 'Iii there was you I never cried for anyone Never had a friend so true Sunset And Camden This the place where the faces era filled with disease Needing a taste I'm assured that I'll leave on my knees Each single day I sit and pray that for once I'll be strong The neon glows and I know that I can't hold out long The city never sleeps end I'm filled with fear The mystery remains - that's what keeps me here Allure is strong lights are low end I know where to go To a third story loft wherethe needleawill glow I'm at a point where there's nothing that I wouldn't do Searching for ways to bring the haze end the malaise into view You keep it shaking 'till your head tells off I've got a nasty little rattle and a temble cough You can lie to yourself but no for free Writer, Poet, Slut I really think I'd like a writer like the one I read today Maybe a just a poet she could rhyme while we fuck Or perhaps a little girl like you see on MTV Maybe just a slut isn't that what we all we want I swear I never meant to hurt you I hope you believe that I maty want into get out wfhout your heart I really think I'd like a writer like the one I read today Maybe a just a poet she could rhyme while we fuck Sometimes I'm terrified of leaving other times I'm strong to stay All the time I'm not believing that we ended up this way Sometimes I think I'd like a writer Sometimes I think I'd like a poet Or a slut or dancer Oh but don't you know that I really think that I'd like anyone Just so long as they like me too I get so lonely when the sun goes down And I never think of you West Virginis Livin' on one lag dying in West Virginia Say goodbye to the girl I used to know Livin' on one leg dying beneath a cold mountain sky Sometimes I miss her so Twenty five years down the drain Twenty five years with nothing to show Now the snow just fells around my aching skull I hope it's not far to go One day the business just took a tumble The family tall apart like a house of cards She moved beck to Alabama That's the place where I first stole her heart The kids don't come around here no more Guess I made a mess out of their lives Now the snow just falls around my aching skull I hope it's not far to go Merdi Gres Mule The sadness is so evident It's right around the corner Wish that I could forge ahead I can't go any farther I'm sadder then a Mardi Gras Mule I'm sadder then a Mardi Gras Mule I can barely keep my feat All this bourbon just makes ma sad I'm sadder then a Mardi Gras Mule I got dumped by a Waffle House waitress end I feel so low I'm madder then a middle age clerk Selling slurpeas to the snot-nosed brats Drained of hope just skin end bones I'm madder then a middle age clerk Get out of face before I hurt you 'cause God told ma to Never thought that life could coma to this My knees era week end they crack the whip Never thought that life could come to this A frozen dinner and a TV kiss Sometimes I wonder why I keep on going Indignities are pilled high and wide If I stop to think I think I'll stop I'm sad and lonely and I haven't done a thing The sun goes up and the sun goes down I haven't made a sound Never thought that life could come to this My knees are weak and they crack the whip Never thought that life could come to this A frozen dinner and a TV kiss Hit 4 The Man (Chapel Hill) Word slips away and the melody just crumbles The well is dry now once again jBass and guitars are dumb The silence makes me humble Our hopes are running down the drain Skies of the future look so overcast The time for you and me has rock'n' rolled on by But their neglect has brought some solitude And loveless days on the rack No lullaby can save us from this place We need a hit for the man It's an oasis of perverted arrogance Nothing but pretense and cold noise The scene is dessicated rusted and decayed To drag us down their only joy We need a bigger hook to pull us from this pond A special beat they can't ignore We'll thumb our noses and we'll email our regrets Short list of thankyous to be sure No lullaby can save us from this place We need a hit for the man Yeah we've gotta get out of here For them to realize what we've been all along They're keeping us in a stranglehold They'll never bury us we're coming on real strong Yeah we've gotta out of here I'd never hesitate to take each one of them on They will never acknowledge us But they will when we're gon Chrismas Day It never feels that much like Christmas anymore It never seams that way to me My mother she is passed out on the couch She was up last night 'til six When she drinks the whole house shakes I hope and pray she'll leave me alone I don't think that I can take much more of this She's turned my heart to stone There's some stuff beneath the pine And when she wakes up we pretend it's fine It's Christmas Day Like the day the meal was ruined By the afternoon she couldn't speak her name I went outside for a walk around the world My dad just watched the game But there's one thing that I've learned All promises eventually become lies Even on Christmas Day Even on Christmas Day Hope for the best aspect the worst Every day's just like the one that came before Hope for the best aspect the worst I don't wanne be around you anymore Forget the hope aspect the worst This is the lest Christmas I'll aver spend with you This is the lest time you will break my aching heart This is the last time you will ever ses my face
