Sister
05:19

Sleep never comes
Never shows and never holds me
Against the sheets, against my will
Again no pill seems to help me
So I'll get a room and I'll get a job
And I will get myself together
Cause all I've got now that you're gone
Yeah all I've got is the thought
That I can do better than my sister.
Down the road I see, there is a town in the distance
The heat distorts, the town contorts
Sister are you with or against us?
And then Buddy said "Man, what's the use? Why you been hanging around for days?"
There's nothing to see
There's nothing to do.
But I just can't seem to get away from my sister.
I'll never heal and I'll never fly
Not as long as I love them.
So I'm kicking free
I'm kicking the downs
I'm aiming far far far above them
I was gonna say that we could still be friends
I was gonna say sister I'll miss you
But I'm pretty sure, that'd be a lie
Yeah I'm pretty sure
Yeah I'm pretty sure I will forget you
My sister.

Fear Of Flying
03:42
|
|||
I was hanging around
I was kicking around somewhere in Chinatown
And I was reading about
I was reading about that shit I'd been seeing around
I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid of dying
But somehow, somewhere I caught myself a fear of flying
I was playing some town
I was playing some town somewhere
The kids were running around
And I was digging the sound
I was digging the sound of the band
It was a crazy sound
I'm not afraid of tears
I'm not afraid of dying
But somehow, somewhere I caught myself a fear of flying
You've got the same fear too
What are we going to do?
Somehow, somewhere I caught myself a fear of flying

Feeling Fine
04:12
|
|||
One and One is Two
And every day is blue
And every night is bad
At least that's what you said
Come along with me
I'm waiting outside your door
Go where the groovies go, where the beat is pure.
Gotta board and a pedal and an amp and an old guitar
Making mistakes? Well that's the breaks when you're a superstar
One day soon I'll split in two in half the time
Until that day all I can say is I'm feeling fine
You can tell yourself everything's a gas
Sleeping on the beach, sleeping in the sand
Life on the road is OK if your brains
Are like summer jobs - short term only
Tell the mess in the dress in the flesh that sheís alright
Your so called friends at half past ten are no where in sight
One day soon I'll split in two in half the time
Until that day all I can say is Iím feeling fine
Somebody's always pushing it farther
Taking things a little bit farther
Gotta board and a pedal and an amp and an old guitar
Making mistakes? Well that's the breaks when you're a superstar
One day soon I'll split in two in half the time
Until that day all I can say is I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling fine

Stay Here With Me
04:13
|
|||
Lovely boys and lovely girls
Are drifting in and out of the colors that are
Hung round the world
They all act amused
They all act confused
They all laugh at the slightest mention of bad news.
And I'm wishing so hard
You would stay here with me
Stay here with me, o yeah
In black summer heat
I happened to meet
Some girl that I met at some party the previous week.
She took all my time
And drank all my wine
Then looked at me like I was the one that ought to leave.
And I'm wishing so hard
You would stay here with me
Stay here with me, o yeah

Baby I Want You Back
04:36
|
|||
I'm trying like hell to find you
You're my case, I've been assigned you
But I always end up behind you.
Baby, I want you back
The impression you left on my pillow
That mess you left back in Reno
Yeah, I guess you know how to kill slow
Baby, I want you back
Baby, I want you
Is it all part of some deception
Trying to lead me in the wrong direction
I know peroxide will kill the infection
Baby, I want you back
So don't say I didn't warn you
You're not safe in California
It's just a matter of time till I'm on you
Baby, I want you back
Baby, I want you

A Century Of Rain
04:18
|
|||
I can't seem to find your pad
And people can be such a drag
I've lost my soul
I can't get it back
Here it comes again
Every day I get more distraught
As other bands get sold and bought
I took the bait but I couldn't get caught
Here it comes again
A Century Of Rain
O yeah
Maybe I should stay for a while
The next bar must be at least a mile
Yeah - They want me to cry
But I'll just smile
Here it comes again
A Century Of Rain
O yeah
I've been trying harder
I've wasted all this time on fire
I've got one more step back then it's the ocean
I'm running out of love and devotion
I get let down but still hang round in case you'll look my way
Soaked to the bone, so far from home just to have a stage

The Big Black Wall
02:45
|
|||
I'm sorry if I'm a little late
I guess Iíve only myself to blame
Caught drinking on a city train
And I refused to cooperate
I said, "I love you and that's for sure."
She got scared, I got bored
Tried to find my way to the show
But this ain't my town
No, this ain't my town
What do I know?
Here I am wishing that I could live underground
Everyone says I'd be better off lost than found
So and so is at the big rock show
Don't tell me that I don't want to know
Just let me get my drink on please
And I promise I'll say your name
When I sing
Throwing everything I have against a big black wall
Watch as nothing sticks, I'm watching it all fall
Well no more, no more
Throwing everything I have against a big black wall
Watch as nothing sticks, I'm watching it all fall
My money won't buy me drinks for two
But I've got mine and you've got you
Somebody asked me where I live
And where I stand
So I say, "Man, I've got no plans."
Here I am wishing I could live underground
Everyone says I'd be better off lost than found
Throwing everything I have against a big black wall
Watch as nothing sticks, I'm watching it all fall
Well no more, no more

The Outpost
04:52
|
|||
Looking through the window of the outpost
I can see the universe spinning by
And though the city glow is barely there in the distance
It only means someone forgot to switch off the light
(Hey you forgot to switch off the light)
It came out early in our conversation
That you & I were drifting apart
I'll have another beer and maybe watch a movie
What's the difference Dear, when we're drifting apart?
Come on and do me a real favor
Let go of my life
Your time is short, you're beautiful
Let my body slide
Do you find it hard to take when I say that
The world is like some gigantic machine
It keeps grinding on no matter what our feelings
It doesn't seem to care about you or me or anything
Does that seem to negate our meaning?
Come on and do me a real favor
Let go of my life
Your time is short, you're beautiful
Let my body slide

Mostly
04:25
|
|||
Yeah, mostly I believe you when you're telling lies
Mostly I just ignore the other guys
Mostly I'm just trying my best to get by
And mostly it's OK
Mostly when I'm missing you I'm by myself
Everytime I'm with you I am somewhere else.
Mostly I am in my own private hell
And mostly it's OK
I'm certain I can't tell you why
I'm certain I'd fail everytime
Tears coming down like rain - Yeah
Everytime the seasons change I get this way
Wishing I could collect up all my yesterdays
I know it's such a drag man, but what can I say
Mostly I'm that way
Well, I'm probably not the person you want
It's probably better if you just go
Down the winter lane
Find some other place
Find some other face - Yeah
la la la
Down the winter lane
Find some other place
Don't waste your time on this face
Not worth all the trouble anyway - Yeah
Mostly I sleep all day stay out all night
I try my best to keep these things locked up tight
I laugh I smile I keep thoughts like these out of sight
And mostly it's OK.

Good Times To Come
05:35
|
|||
She don't mean nothing to me
She don't mean anything
I tell myself over and over again
Just wait and she'll change
It does no good at all
I'm waiting for good times to come
I come home late at night
Afraid of what I don't find
I get this strange feeling
I miss her
And that's no good at all
I'm waiting for good times to come
I'm waiting for good times to come
I spend the hours of my life
Drinking bourbon, drinking wine
I keep on hoping don't you know
I should have given up long ago
Sha Boom Sha Boom
