Getting Older 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Don’t know how or why it came to be But putting in time with you is misery I don’t know what to do to get through to you But I don’t want to see that side of me What kind of woman says you’re not a man Living out her mother’s dreams as best she can Always quick to tell me what to do But I don’t take advice from those who don’t lend a hand Maybe it’s because I’m getting older Maybe it’s because the weather’s cold Haven’t seen the sun for some time now Locked up in your prison cell Maybe it’s because I’m getting older Maybe it’s because the weather’s cold Haven’t seen the sun for some time now Locked up in your prison cell

Hard Times 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Saw you walking with your shoes untied You call to me honey but you seem occupied You turn to look as if the sun’s in your eyes But I tell you hard times are hard to disguise oh yeah Oh Yeah Turn the TV on to use it as light Alone in your basement on your wedding night You thought your friends are the ones to despise But I tell you hard times are hard to disguise oh yeah Oh Yeah Morning paper comes to give you the news One hundred thousand people standing on their roofs The men in suits will say otherwise But I tell you hard times are hard to disguise oh yeah Oh Yeah

Last Night I Fell 03:15
lyrics

Last night I fell and hit my head Thinking of the things you said It’s ok ‘cause I’m not hurt I’m just layin’ in the dirt Last night I fell and hit my head Last night I fell and scraped my knee Thinking of your family How could I get so mixed up So many people so fucked up Last night I fell and scraped my knee And after all, it’s all the same Move out of town, change my name The one who points the finger is usually to blame When crazy thinks that normal is insane Last night I met another girl And suddenly I’m not so sure What to do or what to say I never thought I’d feel this way Lately I feel so out of place I think I’ve lost all of my faith And after all, it’s all the same Move out of town, change my name The one who points the finger is usually to blame When crazy thinks that normal is insane And after all, it’s all the same Move out of town, change my name The one who points the finger is usually to blame When crazy thinks that normal is insane

New Orleans 03:11
lyrics
buy track
I gotta speak but I dare not say I ain’t feeling too good about feeling this way You poured me a drink, but I didn’t think I could feel so bad staring into a sink And it’s real, it’s as painful to take As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake Well I think I’ll go back down to New Orleans And sing my song to a singin’ machine Cause I dream what I am and I think what I’ll be And I know it ain’t right, but I still wait and see And it’s real, it’s as painful to take As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake I can’t believe the price that you’d pay Just to see me turn around and walk away Well yesterday’s gone and today’s just a dream I wake up in the morning and ask what it means You answer back hey I wanna know too But I asked you first is all I say to you And it’s real, it’s as painful to take As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake I can’t believe the price that you’d pay Just to see me turn around and walk away So come on let’s go to my house on the beach Where the moon on the lake is just outta reach I try to listen to the things that you teach But babbling bullshit just bores me to sleep And it’s real, it’s as painful to take As the sun in your eyes the moment you wake I can’t believe the price that you’d pay Just to see me turn around and walk away Yeah it’s real Just to see me turn around and walk away

Dryin' Out 04:06
lyrics
buy track
I’m deep down again You’ve been seeing him Forcing me to think Driving me to drink Just let me get dry Won’t you let me try Just to get dried out again It’s the same old line Swear it’s the last time When you coming home I’m alone and stoned Hung me out to dry Pinned me on that line In the pouring rain Just let me get dry Won’t you let me try Just to get dried out again Just let me get dry Won’t you let me try Just to get dried out again Just to get dried out again Just to get dried out again Just to get dried out again

Impossible Art 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Let’s go back to the start Before the scars before the broken hearts Let’s go back to the start The impossible art Let’s just skip to the end The part when we say we can still be friends Let’s just skip to the end So far from where it began Girl you used to shake it then you just cut me off Oh I couldn’t take it, so I just break it off You wanted love on the screen The kind you see inside your magazines That you read in the dark The impossible art It’s just a matter of time You’ll get yours and I will take what’s mine It’s just a matter of time Before I lose my mind Girl you used to shake it then you just cut me off No I couldn’t fake it, so I just break it off Let’s go back to the start Before the scars before the broken hearts Let’s go back to the start The impossible art Girl you used to shake it then you just cut me off Oh I couldn’t take it, so I just break it off Girl you used to shake it then you just cut me off Oh I couldn’t take it, no the impossible art

Riverside 03:44
lyrics
buy track
We went down to the riverside We buried our phones, we buried our heads alive Oh oh oh Walked through the field in the open breeze Do you remember getting our meals from these Oh oh oh I get so far down on my knees Same fear creepin’ in on me I’ve been kicked around You’ve been underground, and I know Yeah I know I’ve been so far down You’ve been leaving town, and I know Yeah I know I get so far down on my knees Same fear creepin’ in on me Saw myself laughin’ in a photograph Man that nostalgia is such a thing of the past Oh oh oh Walking thru the city with blood on our feet Taking in the sites of these tired scenes Oh oh oh And I get so far down on my knees Same fear creepin’ in on me I’ve been kicked around You’ve been underground, and I know Yeah I know I’ve been so far down You’ve been leaving town, and I know Yeah I know And I get so far down on my knees St. Peter creepin’ in on me Just let me be We went down to the riverside…

Chinese Tattoos 03:17
lyrics
buy track
We’ve got one thing in common, it’s the tattoos under our skin Hey it’s just my opinion, but this whole thing’s wearing thin Chinese symbols under my skin I don’t know much about astrology But I’m starting to think there’s something going on in the stars Girls ask me if I’ve got tattoos I say no and they look at me like I’m bizarre And this Chinese symbol movement has gone too far Chinese symbol for common sense Was never taught in any skin art class Did you lose a bet And what the hell does that one mean above the crack of your ass We’ve got one thing in common, it’s the tattoos under our skin Hey it’s just my opinion, but this whole thing’s wearing thin Chinese symbols under my skin Under my skin We’ve got one thing in common, it’s the tattoos under our skin Hey it’s just my opinion, but this whole thing’s wearing thin Chinese symbols under my skin What do you think about this one Only eighty bucks My girlfriend picked it out and I don’t know what it means And now we’re broken up Now we’re broken up Chinese tattoos Chinese tattoos

Defend 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Today’s a good day for me to defend Cause I don’t give a fuck about I don’t give a fuck about you You can start a war with the stroke of your pen No one fucking cares what the king is doing So you best keep on writing And hope that the story never ends I learned to stand in my mother’s kitchen She put that fork right into my hand Said son don’t you ever bend Don’t ever take a knee to no man It’s the situation we put ourselves in Living in a hibernation nation We better wake up Before we have to do it again

Valleyway Motel 02:36
lyrics
buy track
In a beat up hotel with a bottle of booze Me and my baby are singing the blues She comes from the land of the US of A Where people she loves pay the government she hates With a voice like an angel that crawls from her lips She picks her poison and I pay for it She’s a long, long way from home Destitute and alone But she hides it with a smile and she never tells me no She’s a long, long way from home Destitute and alone But she hides her scars and she never lets me know
