pointed down at the ground all I wanna know is why he is such a prick please tell so I know what makes guys like him tick he is such a dick he wanted to borrow some records from my collection on no return, I felt the rejection and now when I see him in town same way as always, his head is towards the ground all I wanna know is why he is such a prick please tell so I know what makes guys like him tick he is such a dick unsatisfied, a word he often uses is need he is usually really wired on that cheap trucker speed last time he was at my house he tried to walk away with my weed Jeff plays bass, Marc and I play rhythm Dan and Gary play lead @SONG: Ill Fated wasn't much of a union denial and confusion meant something to you I bet you wouldn've stayed stumble on some good times turn them into landmines you know you can turn the other way you say you've been meaning to sort through all your demons if there's some room are you gonna let me in you've been hung dry by your close friends your inner child's an orphan you're so far down, you don't know where you been so many things you don't know if you want me to leave, just say so it's the kind of thing I like curse cast in the night so ill fated, so ill fated goodbye with preservations regrets and salutations something in there somewhere that I didn't say it's you I think of only whenever you get lonely I got more than years to give away I've been dying to start living you're just living to be dying we can't seem to find no common ground you hate me when I'm lonely I'm lonely when you hate me mostly I'm just there to kick around sorting high and low first to leave, last to know it's the kind of thing I like curse cast in the night so ill fated, so ill fated it's the kind of thing I like curse cast in the night so ill fated @SONG: Nowhere Bound it don't matter if I lose it's how I play the fool somewhere down the line it all got twisted, torned and tossed an' thrown away it all looks the same to me what you want I'll never be and I can't seem to get it right but I wanna get off right now I can't seem to get it right but it's all so wrong, somehow did you think I wouldn't return did you think I wouldn't return did you think that I was dead did you think that I was dead did you think I'd crash and burn did you think it was my turn radio plays, I'm coming down road stretches out, but it ain't, Lord I'm home I'm not big on being amazed I'm in a haze, I'm lost, nowhere bound and all my friends they jumped the wagon parked today, tails a-waggin' and I can't seem to get it right but I wanna get off right now I can't seem to get it right but it's all so wrong, somehow did you think I wouldn't return did you think I wouldn't return did you think that I was dead did you think that I was dead thought I'd crash and burn did you think it was my turn @SONG: Pecan Pie as I walk along and stumble trains rumble in my head as I breeze along and grumble think about you instead and a piece of pecan pie and you

other love but you never thought you never thought she'd been giving away that very thing that you've been getting plenty off she don't have to see you she don't have to see you to see through you she can tell by the look in your eye that you've been telling her lies she don't have to see you to see through you how many times you come home late at night you remember all the times got caught sneaking in and your woman she never said a word but she knew exactly where you've been she don't have to see you she don't have to see you to see through you @SONG: V when I was down she was full of advice 'cause she'd been there once or twice with a ring on the side of her nose wearing other people's clothes she had her highs and she had her lows in between she show when she smiled everything else died V let off a good vibe as if in a dream the one and only V that's a feel of dream the one and only V buying shots and breaking hearts she used to wait on us down at the bar never took as much as she gave is still giving to this day staying up half the night mood swing yet we cried on a cold December day V up and went away as if in a dream the one and only V that's a feel of dream the one and only V staying up half the night mood swing yet we cried on a cold December day V up and went away as if in a dream the one and only V that's a feel of dream the one and only V @SONG: Walk Where He Walked there's a man on TV claims he killed 23 burnt their bodies and collected their teeth there's another man at home with his wife and family tree who agreed this would make a good movie and I'm

let it show I know, I won't be coming home no more the street in sidewalk borders stretch out beyond the scenes the sweet and dark emotions every day hopes and dreams my God, I know who's waiting beneath the bedroom floor her eyes anticipating I'm reaching every move I know, I won't be coming home no more all I ever wanted was to turn from my side all I ever wanted was to turn from my side the rake is scratching harder the half drawn window shade like any empty memory the colors seem to fade my God, I know who's waiting beneath the bedroom floor remember summer showers outside the cabin walls I know, I won't be coming home no more @SONG: Yesterday Cried yesterday is just the day before today sat and watched it, watch it slide away yesterday cried, ooh, yesterday cried looking at me
