Time has a way, folds into days, for our taken, With less than thought, the future is lost and forsaken Our language of tears, defining our fears Yeah history’s clear, We’re much closer to nothing - again One life and a try, we live and we die, never knowing. The reason to be, the truth there to see, it’s plainly showing Our language of tears, defining our fears Yeah here’s to be clear, We’re much closer to nothing - again Lost is the cost of the lies that we’re spinning How can we lose, still conclude that we’re winning Our language of tears, defining our fears Yeah history’s clear, We’re much closer to nothing - again

Fading Away 03:47
Where were you Tuesday, When I needed a ride, Clearly you’re able to hide, Able to fly - away Looked for you when I arrived, But you continued to slide, Slide further inside, then you fade away Fading away, fading away Remember the times, When we didn’t mind, If words didn’t rhyme We sang ‘em anyway Getting harder to find, Places left behind, Where peace of mind, We lived it every day Fading away, fading away Racing through life, Like there’s a finish line, We’re anxious to find Throw the race give first place away No, no, no fading away, fading away No fading away, fading away No, no, no fading away, fading away

Calm and collected my mind’s disconnect trouble hides one thought away Since she can’t leave it be it’ll be my misery When her demons start ruling the day You know that chip on her shoulder, Man it’s more like a boulder that’s rolling me into the ground, Contrition’s I make, my sorrow’s don’t take so it’s best not to make a sound She’s driving right over, she’s driving right over, She’s driving right over me She’s driving right over, she’s driving right over, She’s driving right over me Well I put it to rest, just like an unwelcome guest, And sorry’s a meaningless word, But I begged for amends but she’s big on revenge And she won’t leave the past undisturbed She brings it up to bring me down, Brings it up to bring me down. Brings it up to bring me down, She brings it up to bring me down I long for embrace, seaside walks and fine lace, The laughs and slow kisses alone with the misses, Good times and a bottle of wine, Sitting close and feeling fine, My world spins for her and me but she’s stuck on ancient history She brings it up to bring me down, Brings it up to bring me down. Brings it up to bring me down, She brings it up to bring me down

I heard those voices that kept saying, You should‘ve known the game she’s playing I had no clue what she was after, A stepping stone to my disaster But look at her now, Shrinking like a violet underneath a plow, Yeah look at her now, She’s so god damn tiny I can hardly even see her, She a relic in the window of a miniature museum She’s getting small, And I’m feeling schadenfreude and I can’t say I regret it She’s getting small, She found out life’s a movie that you’re not allowed to edit With every dream she had forsaken, And every lie that she was making, She had no use for friends or lovers Unless they added to her cover She’s getting small, And I’m feeling schadenfreude and I can’t say I regret it She’s getting small, She found out life’s a movie that you’re not allowed to edit

I get this whole world so angry at me sometimes, I don’t even have to try it happens automatically, I get this whole world so angry at me sometimes, Not even certain why – wish it didn’t matter to me I wish it didn’t matter to me It happens too often, happened twice today Things I thought were funny didn’t come out that way I’m laughing, she’s crying, no I Didn’t mean it that way Chorus You know it can get worse, I can have some beer in me, Too late for good intentions when your lips are the enemy I’m laughing she’s crying, no I didn’t mean it that way Chorus It happens, too often, showed it’s ugly face again today, Things that I thought were honest, didn’t come out that way, I’m laughing, now I’m crying, I don’t trust a word that I say I get this whole world so angry at me sometimes, I get this whole world so angry at me sometimes, I get this whole world so angry at me sometimes, I get this whole world so angry at me, at me

Until 03:53
I was indifferent, and sadly out of tune, Not knowing tomorrow, was running out of room I’m feeling it now, I don’t know just how, I’ll ever get through, I’m outta my mind, just spending my time here thinking of you Until the next day doesn’t pass, Until the last step on my path… The years that we covered, would always bring her back, Until she discovered, that my world was flat, I’m feeling it now, I don’t know just how, I’ll ever get through, I’m outta my mind, just spending my time here thinking of you Until the next day doesn’t pass, Until the last step on my path… Until the next day doesn’t pass, Until the last step on my path…

Life Ain’t So Bad You think you’re walking on water, Think you’re skating on some real thin ice, Say you’re thinking ‘bout leaving, Think you ought’a think about thinking twice Review this situation one more time Life ain’t so bad, Dream on those good times that we had, Life ain’t so bad Cutting to close to the cotton, Don’t recall driving the gin, And I can’t remember whose shoes, I’m supposed to walk that mile in, Review this situation one more time Life ain’t so bad, Dream on those good times that we had, Life ain’t so bad The systems broke, a cloud of smoke, Screening better views, Half filled cup is filling up, with better news Take another drink of water, Take another drink of the spice of life Save some for your sons and daughters Ain’t we funny when we act polite Review this situation one more time Life ain’t so bad, Dream on those good times that we had, Life ain’t so bad

Man on a String I’m waiting at the end of the line, For a love I struggle hard to define She keeps me there perpetually, I should know better but it’s so hard to leave, Why is it so hard to see, what I’m seeing, I’m just a man on a string, she’s deceiving Everyday I say that’s it, She stops by and I know I can’t quit, Thinking for a moment she’s mine, I should know better and just make up my mind Why is it so hard to see, what I’m seeing, I’m just a man on a string, she’s deceiving Why do I stay, why don’t I go? Why do I love when there’s nothing to show? I should move on, yeah I should move out, So why do I have this lingering doubt? Cause it sure ain’t love Her eyes are as blue as the sea And they beguile me with catastrophe, When I think I can’t go on, She lures me in with her siren song Why is it so hard to see, what I’m seeing, I’m just a man on a string, she’s deceiving Why do I stay, why don’t I go? Why do I love when there’s nothing to show? I should move on, yeah I should move out, So why do I have this lingering doubt? Cause it sure ain’t love

Wouldn’t You Know I remember your eyes looking into mine, Asking only for a little of my time You told me what you thought was missing from your life Strange to think back now, Money isn’t everything you said it was true, But the man you spend your time with shouldn’t think so too, Your daughter needs a father so you’ll be his wife, Strange to think back now, Wouldn’t you know, another man broke your heart, You had your doubts from the start All that give and take you felt you knew so well, Has settled cold in your living hell But nothing’s really changed as far as I can tell Just turned one more time around Now I bet you never thought I take so cold a stand, You figured me to understand, Guess that tells us both a bit about this man, Sorry to let you down Wouldn’t you know, another man broke your heart, You had your doubts from the start Nothing to show but bits of your token pride, Take what’s left – run and hide Solo Wouldn’t you know, another man broke your heart, You had your doubts from the start Nothing to show but bits of your token pride, Take what’s left – run and hide – run and hide…

Headin’ South You know so much about everything, Smart as you can be, You got a point that you’re trying to make, Guess it’s important for me to agree Now this is right up my alley, Should appeal to me, You said I should identify, Since you know that much about me Then you said all the things that you said needed saying Said all the things that I need to hear Said it once, said it twice, said it loud and clear Clear as a bell Clear from here to Idaho, I don’t know, Is that a long way to hear a bell Unless it’s Alex Graham or Ma Belle, Michelle my bell, What the hell am I talking about, See sometimes no one can tell Then you tell me all the things that you said needed telling, Tell me all the things that I need to know, You know my tell and you’re spelling it out, For those that need a show Next time we meet you’ll have to excuse, When I walk away, Assume it’s something important, That keeps me from hearing what you have to say But I’ve heard all the things I believe needed hearing, Heard every other word from your mouth, Heard it loud, heard it clear, But I heard the sound of a train headin’ south, Headin’ out of here, headin’ south….

World Won’t Get It Right I’m down and out, Lost in a maze of endless doubt, Last in line, Machiavelli by design Then from bad to worse, Slow dancing with this curse, That’s when the world won’t get it right Dreams are lost, And I trembler at the cost, Wrong is right, And there’s just no end in sight Then from bad to worse, Slow dancing with this curse That’s when the world won’t get it right Fortune falls, with our backs against the wall, Filled with woe, trepidation taking hold, When I’m down and out, just wandering about, Nowhere to go, and nothing left to show, That’s when the world won’t get it right

Which Way Do I Go Calling up all the friends I used to run with, wondering where they all disappeared Sitting by the phone waiting for nothing, confirmed the worst of my fears She said that she needs a replacement, though her reasons, she didn’t make clear, She said I could sleep in her basement, she wouldn’t put me out this time of year Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here Chief Monk Boudreaux and Quarter Moon Tobias played in the Quarter last night, It changed my mind about holding the potato, got home into a terrible fight, She said I was way too complacent, All I cared about was whiskey and beer, My steps I began retracing, thinking maybe she was on to something here Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here How many times, did I think about the times I was lying by your side, Honeymoon locked in a room on the cliffs of the gorge, you were gorgeous too Haven’t we chosen streets that were golden so much of the time? She things I’m small potatoes now I’ve got the time… to prove her right Full moon rising, river cresting, caught between the wax and the wane, Music of the night might make you feel all right But baby now tell me who’ll stop the rain Water fills up in our basement, water continues to rise, Take what you need just in case man, it’s only you that can help you survive, Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here Which way do I go, which way do I go, which way do I go from here

Bitter Betty 03:06
Bitter Betty Bitter Betty’s angry all the time She’ll fly off any handle she can find, Man that girl is way way out of line. She is fighting with her neighbors, what a fuss That’s what Webster calls, cantankerous Not even Betty Crocker had such a crust, Solo She’s smoking like a gun that’s done it’s deed A wake of victims left in misery She’d bring the Dali Lama to his knees. Solo Bitty Betty’s got no better side Children, cats and dogs will run and hide If she smiles it’s only a disguise, Bitter Betty’s not the loving kind She’s meaner than the Bride of Frankenstein Bitter Betty’s angry all the time

A Little of This I got the run around, Treated like a heel without a soul, Yeah, I’m feeling down, And her reason left me feeling cold, It’s a Little of this, and a little of that Got the news today, Doctor said my health was in decline, How it got that way, He handed me that same old worn out line, It’s a Little of this, and a little of that Drop it now, just let it go Don’t act like, you even know It’s a Little of this, and a little of that Now my time has come, Standing at those bit ol’ pearly gates, The things I’ve sad and done, It’s looking like I got a long, long wait, It’s a Little of this, and a little of that
