Lately 04:22

Lately... Lately..yeah yeah Lately I've been thinking 'bout my state of affairs I feel Another situation's in the air Lately I've been holding down my dying breath I feel That a nervous breakdown’s all I have left But you know it can't last very long And there's got to be some way To pull myself out of the grave That I've dug...yeah yeah Lately I've felt something clinging to my back I think That this little monkey should cut me some slack Lately I've been coming down with a strange disease I feel That a dose of hope is the right remedy But you know it can't last very long And there's got to be some way To pull myself out of the grave That I've dug...yeah yeah On and on from now on I'll let myself down I've learned to take the bread as comes Silently without trouble Now I've come down to take my place With the human race so low It's not how high that I fly, but I far I have to fall..

We All Fall Down 04:43
lyrics

I spent a lifetime running out of Houston The heat could’ve seared through my soul I would drive down the coast to Galveston isle Lookin’ for a new wave and a ghost Then I spent some time down in Austin for awhile Beggin’ for a change that never would come Walkin’ down Guadalupe Street in June Never felt farther from the truth... Chorus: If I follow you down will you pick me up when I follow you down If we hit rock bottom will you still be holdin’ on When we all fall down... When we all fall down Up in here in Dallas we’ve laid down our roots Among the vagrants and the trees We’ll build this house as they try to tear it down I know we can make it somehow If I follow you down will you pick me up when I follow you down If we hit rock bottom will you still be holdin’ on When we all fall down... When we all fall down All fall down (Will you pick me up when I...) All fall down (If we hit rock bottom...) All fall down (Will you pick me up when I...) All fall down (If we hit rock bottom...) I’ll follow you down I’ll follow you down... When we hit rock bottom I’ll follow you down We all fall down We all fall down (x2)

40 Gallons of Whiskey 05:02

Feels like I’ve been down in a hole For these past few months Thinking ‘bout all the loves we lost And the times…we’ve had it rough Feels like I’m stuck n a vise And I can’t shake loose Every time I see the light It’s just a train come in to view Chorus: 40 gallons of whiskey A round for everyone Let’s raise a glass and drink it fast ‘Cause livin’s just too fun… 40 gallons of whiskey A drink for all my friends Let’s toast to a brand new life And pray this just won’t end They say time can heal all wounds But mine still do sting I found out all too late What a friend you were to me My regrets, I’ve drowned in a bottle But what’s done is done It don’t change the fact That I could have been the one… So bring me… 40 gallons of whiskey A round for everyone Let’s raise a glass and drink it fast ‘Cause livin’s just too fun… 40 gallons of whiskey A drink for all my friends Let’s toast to a brand new life And pray this just won’t end Like a father you were The one I needed the most I was left on the side of the road And you…you picked me up Your secrets you kept hid For all to see You taught me to get busy livin’ As you laid dyin’ 40 gallons of whiskey A round for everyone Let’s raise a glass and drink it fast ‘Cause livin’s just too fun… 40 gallons of whiskey A drink for all my friends Let’s toast to a brand new life And pray this just won’t end (x2)

That Don't Change Anything 03:39
lyrics

Sometimes I wonder aloud At all the things I've seen in my life Like hangin’ out at The One Night Stand When I can't sleep at night Thinkin' bout all the places I've known And all the birds that have flown Like Vegas on a Sunday night All my chances are blown Chorus: But I know I won't be walking on down that road again Once more I've realized loneliness is my only friend Well I know, but that don't change anything Some nights I sit alone And drown in a bottle of gin Reminisce about the good ol' days And let the rain wash away my sins The way star-crossed lovers collide It nearly blinds my eyes Like a train on a broken track I get derailed all the time But I know I won't be walking on down that road again I’ve finally realized loneliness is my only friend Well I know, but that don't change anything The clock's ticking on the mantle shelf It's time I was on my way My bags are packed and the baggage checked But the plane's done flown away But I know I won't be walking on down that road again I’ve finally I've realized loneliness is my only friend Well I know, but that don't change anything Well I know, but that don't change anything

Emerald Green 04:46

When I dream, I dream in emerald green And when I wake, my tears run down like a stream O’er those rolling hills of stone Lies the place where I’ll rest my weary bones With any luck we’ll meet again someday I’ll bring with me a gift of words to say Of words to say, I left so many in my wake Sinking slowly in the foam and the spray Chorus: Spread your arms to the sea, my dear Let the waves carry you far from here Across the endless depths I’ve steered To bring you back to me To bring you back to me Well carry on, my ramblin’ one Til the waves swallow the orange sun One last time we’ll walk upon this isle That meets the sea in this land of emerald green Spread your arms to the sea, my dear Let the waves carry you far from here Across the endless depths I’ve steered To bring you back to me To bring you back to me

Spider 04:23
lyrics

Spending so much time together has made me realize That I don't want to be the prize Of a misled wife with two very needy pets I can't get tangled in that web Chorus: And I just don't know which way to run And I don't know where I can hide From this feeling that she flaunts so indiscreetly But I'm gonna try I, I'm gonna try She feeds my ego buts eats me up inside This quandry's wounded my self-pride She turns the tide and leaves me high and dry This kiss and tell is not my style And I just don't know which way to run And I don't know where I can hide From this feeling that she flaunts so indiscreetly But I'm gonna try I, I'm gonna try Catch me in a hallway, ambush me on the stair Tell me you treat your victims oh so fair She's a little spider with a one-track mind She eats the males of her own kind And I just don't know which way to run And I don't know where I can hide From this feeling that she flaunts so indiscreetly But I'm gonna try I, I'm gonna try

Questions 04:02
lyrics

Have you found the truth Or was it just a lie? Now that you seen the light Will you keep it down inside? I can’t waste my time Living in the past The future is a fantasy Once the die is cast And I have no way of knowing Where I am going And I don’t foresee Any change in me… When were you told We are all of one soul And how did you know Which way the wind blows? Once not long ago You believed in me When are time grows to a close Will you tell me what will be? And I have no way of knowing Where I am going And I don’t foresee Any change in me… Have you found the truth Or was it just a lie? Now that you seen the light Will you keep it down inside? I can’t waste my time Living in the past The future is a fantasy Love to make it last...

See the Señoritas in their Cure tees Disintegration of our early teens Don't look now but they're headed our way I'll be a poser and hide anyway A rude awakening at dawn That led us on this road we’re on We caught a ride just in time Never unease on our young minds Standing in line in the summertime Was just fine with me Cause we were young and we were free And right where we wanted to be Aboard this cyclone of hormones Don't let this time accelerate And slip by like a screaming sky Beneath your weary feet Passing our time in the serpentine Was just fine with me Cause we were young and carefree No burden could bury me Like a show at the Southern Star We were playing for our lives As the viper twists and turns We teach the lessons that we learn Greased lightnin’ now strikes twice In this field of broken dreams Was it worth it to be free? Standing in line in the summertime Was just fine with me Cause we were young and we were free And right where we wanted to be Passing our time in the serpentine Was just fine with me 'Cause we were young and carefree No burden could bury me No burden could bury me (Right where we want to be) Cause we were young and carefree (Right where we want to be) Cause we were young and carefree (Right where we want to be) Cause we were young and carefree (Right where we want to be) Cause we were young and carefree (Right where we want to be) And right where, and right where we wanted to be

Volunteer 03:33
lyrics

How did you know How did you know this story That I never wrote? I should have known I should have known you'd see right through These lies that I told Every move I make just seems to take Me further ‘way from you How did you know How did you know this secret That I've never told? I should have known I should have known I couldn’t live On words that choke I’ve seen the face of every fading dream And it’s kept me asleep so long Refrain: Oh no, here we go It’s the same ol’ story we’ve been told About the man who never raised his hand To volunteer for you Volunteer for you Where do we go when in this failure town Comes to blows? We haven’t learned this lesson by now? And there are those who would burn us down But the ones who’ll save us are the ones we’ve brought up now Oh no, here we go It’s the same ol’ story we’ve been told About the man who never raised his hand To volunteer for you Volunteer for you
