One to Catch

Met a man at the county jail
And he told me about the things he saw
He said "not everyone that's kept in here
Has done anything against the law"
I said "Mister, I don't understand,
Do you mean to say that they've been wronged?"
He said "Just think about the world we live in
Without a One to catch our fall"
He said "Sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls.
Sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls."

Met a woman at the market place
I said "Ma'am, can I buy some corn?"
She said "Why don't you buy it from the corporate sale
They'd probably sell you more."
I said "I thought you'd like my business, ma'am,
As I see that you are poor."
She said "I don't want the world's pity
And I certainly don't need no more."
I said "Sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls.
Sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls."

And I see things so much clearer
Find myself frequently in awe
Of all the people that were always there
But that I somehow never saw
I tell you, sometimes you try to close your eyes
But you can't if you unthaw
The soul that once was frozen
But you know deep down is raw.
I say sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls.
Sometimes there are things that we can't see in our walls.

Booze is Bad

Booze is bad for your body, makes your playing shoddy, can't stand up to the mic because your brain is too foggy! I can't believe what I did last night- drank until I fell asleep then played like shite. . . I then began to weep as I realized what I'd done- shot a good performance for a drunken one!! And for what?! For the taste of a beer?! In my ear I could hear what I played. I won't do that again! No way, no way! No way, lemme say I don't get much regret as it goes, as you know, live your life, don't look back! but let me tell you what I do regret is blacking out. Oh, not again, oh not again .. . I won't let this happen again. Because your mind and your soul and your heart and your body are there for enlightenment. And memories and memories and memories are so precious. And to breathe, and to breathe. I won't deceive my passion, my heart, my greatest love: music- is all there is, is all there is for me. (and baby, I'd say I love you too, but you don't exist anymore, right? Who are you?) Some lover in my dreams, I'll never meet you, or so it seems. Music, music. I'll never deceive you again.

My Own Face

nothing left in your head so uninspired like you were dead didn't know how to be your friend wouldn't let my own heart bend for so long you were dead hearing nothing that I said been so long since I cried been so long since you tried let it go? there's no way. . . I couldn't show you my own face and I know I had a saving grace and I know I had a saving I had a saving grace it was a sad day I couldn't find a way out of that place running out of time making my own heart ache all for your own heart's sake you took nothing that I gave

I Do

I saved my breath for my heart's best intentions so I could be so safe to bet my heart and let someone in and love me and for so long this thought has made me better, yes, better: "Life will only pass you by if you let her". I've found the very best kind of love is one who doesn't regret it, I've found the pain is worth it when you find someone who means it when he says it, because I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, and I say that the love without which you were born will be the love that you run from when you have it the love that you fear oh, my dear I loved you, and now I've come this far and loved so hard, only now to take a step back and realize I've been walking a dream people are never what they once seemed especially if you hold them to how they used be. I've found the very best kind of love is one who doesn't regret it. I've found the pain is worth it when you find someone who means it when he says it. How could I have cried so hard for you? I almost died. Yes, love is the fifth element but life can still go on without you the love that you fear oh, my dear I loved you and I'll never love the same and I hope I never do but that doesn't mean I won't still love you that doesn't mean I won't still love you

Old Speakings

Grey day windy rainbows across the way can't seem to find myself in these places something else is holding on to me I look behind and see my mind can't seem to figure out where I've been can't seem to find my way except for right now new seekings old speakings roam around in my mind the present moment seems to escape me if I could just look it in the eye now bellow follow your own markings it's no coincidence you've come this far long time in this world never seem to go alone please give your heart a rest you've been here before get on your feet and you'll find yourself standing you've done this before let your heart guide you with someone beside you you'll know what you're put here for that is the way that you've been when you.ve been on your own and you're on again something you've known all along and you can't ignore long time in this place never seem to go alone long time in this place never seem to go alone please you've been here before

Put Away That Smile

Please put away that smile my friend your false reassurances don't even begin I'll make this the first time that I don't sin instead of looking out I'm going to look back in hey I wasn't looking for this well maybe I was but today that will end trust isn't something to give without a damn good reason especially not in your room when a fancy remark you make I realize I'm about to make the same mistake giving myself when I could give you up it's the same place that I always get stuck hey you know I like you a lot we have a good connection now let's not fuck it up hey you really think you're that good? well I misunderstood I thought you'd be different I can't forget this again there's something so sweet in your kiss that I can't resist until the next day when sunlight pours into your room and I'd just as soon be out on my way dreaming of someone out there I know it's not fair to live life this way with your heart and my heart on the line we think we'll be fine but then there's the truth and then there's the truth and then there's the truth and then there's the truth and then there's the truth we're out on the wing and I can't explain what keeps bringing me here I must like the pain it's your heartache that makes me keep giving you mine not to mention this week you're the best I could find none of this matters at the end of the day it's just our loneliness and the game that we play help pull me out this doom and out of your room that's the last time I'll forget hey you really think you're that good? well I misunderstood I thought you'd be different I can't forget this again

Sit Low In Haste

well I stayed I'm big but I'd go if you'd plead I'm big but I'm afraid it's something old on it I pray I lay in my head late in my bed it's cold I sit low riding down that cliff in the night an innocent little babe I'll rest in me now low let down where's my crown? older than a little girl who's late for her first date running soldiers coming stars field starts falling laying in bed a way to let her sleep oh in haste it's late

Pumpkins Blue

being with you has changed my view pumpkins blue and oceans red I gave my left arm gave it to you you didn't hold it long there's a difference too from where I grew up and how I felt you deep your love for her outgrew mine for you it was I who left but you wanted to I saw you there how could you? I hadn't even left your bed "please run away" I said to my feet being with you has changed my view oceans blue and pumpkins red
