Kate's Gone

1, 2, 3, 4
nothing's gonna stop me from staying in my bed today
i'm gonna lie there in silence, slowly wasting away
for my baby is gone, and there is nothing to live for
she put on her boots, walked out, and shut the door
night has struck, now i'm stuck in the alley
put in jail for fighting at the senator's rally
she left me sick, now i'm ready to die
her horns were buldging, looking for a soul to buy
kate's gone and there's nothing i can do
i couldn't bring her back, even if i wanted to
my last memory of her is when she left and said "so long"
even when sometimes i think of her, i know kate is gone
the day is pulled back as soon as the night is over
i guess that the night attracts the wrong kind of lovers
i'm left here without a word, not a letter with a stamp
i crash into bed, flip over and flick the switch on my lamp
i see that cat running 'cross my front porch again
followed by friends who ask each other how each other have been
followed by a dog with a leg as dead as the dead
followed by a woman with a raincoat that was drowning in red
kate's gone and there's nothing i can do
i couldn't bring her back, even if i wanted to
my last memory of her is when she left and said "so long"
even when sometimes i think of her, i know kate is gone

Happy

i love it when the sand hits my feet
love when she stares when our eyes meet
and i love it when the sun shines on my head
better watch your mouth, boy, you'll wind up dead
easy street don't smell so sweet
when you're working off your ass in the yellow-red heat
don't be playing when your papa be calling
they don't like catching those dreamers crawling
i love it when the sand hits my feet
love when she stares when our eyes meet
and i love it when the sun shines on my head
better watch your mouth, boy, you'll wind up dead
oh, you make me so happy
you take away my blues
girl, you make me so happy
i just can't forget about you
i love it when the roses are red
and i love it when the violets are blue
i love it when the sugar is sweet
i love it when im looking at you
easy street don't smell so sweet
when you're working off your ass in the yellow-red heat
don't be playing when your papa be calling
they don't like catching those dreamers crawling
oh, you make me so happy
you take away my blues
girl, you make me so happy
i just can't forget about you

mom is coming home, my friend
she won't be happy
better clean this mess up quick
before she comes
don't want you thinking it's good
that he's laying here
we should not have killed this guy
at least not here
he should not have died
he should not have died
he should not have died
momma be home at a quarter to five
i know you got your gun
but be prepared to run
the cops don't like no one
killing their friends
i see the car outside
lights flashing hard again'
i know just what this means
they are coming in
he should not have died
he should not have died
he should not have died
momma be home at a quarter to five
(keyboard solo)
he should not have died
he should not have died
he should not have died
momma be home at a quarter to five

Sometimes The Days

girl, i know you wanna be where i'm at right now
but girl, i'll never be back where i am at right now
i'm feeling down and i'm sinking right into the floor
my hands are numb, and i can't walk out that door
slowly, i feel as if i won't be killed
but then, we fall back like i'm jack and you're jill
lets stand up again, i don't wanna lose the fight
and my heart will keep crashing well into the night
my peripheral view is gone and i'm not the same
man, i hope you know that this is not a game
come join me here, and we can go to another place
i've seen you as you are but i can't seem to know your face
slowly, i feel as if i won't be killed
but then, we fall back like i'm jack and you're jill
lets stand up again, i don't wanna lose the fight
and my heart will keep crashing well into the night
that was the moment, that was it right there
can't you feel the sunshine, the warmth that fills the air?
the music that's playing brings the colors to my eyes
come float with me and one day we'll reach the sky
slowly, i feel as if i won't be killed
but then, we fall back like i'm jack and you're jill
lets stand up again, i don't wanna lose the fight
and my heart will keep crashing well into the night

the way the situation worked out was good enough for one day
i'm not saying that it's perfect, i'm just saying that it's ok
but when i was thinking of you, in the darkness of my room
perfect is overrated, but it's the best that i can do
and i'm still in love with you
in every single way, with every single thing you do
and i'm still in love with you
in love with you today, or tomorrow if you want me to
now our love is a silly thing
thinking about the days when it didn't sting
now out love a beautiful thing
thinking bout the great days of life it would bring
and i'm still in love with you
in love with you today, or tomorrow if you want me to
and though you had to stay
you had to scare the sun away
and you had to pray
to get my life, taken away
and i'm still in love with you
in every single way, with every single thing you do
and i'm still in love with you
in love with you today, or tomorrow if you want me to

i sit around my house with your voices drowning me in fear
they tell me that they're calm, but they're just looking to get near
just lie down for a bit, relax, while your mind goes dark
see those things around you? that's creation, and that's a start
look around a minute and you'll see that i have come
see what i've been doing, you can tell my work is done
get a little closer, dance a little dirty with me, babe
turn around and see, look at the gifts he made
i'll revel in astronomy and appreciate my newfound fame
they always say they love me, but these takers look all the same
can't you see that now everybody is waiting on you
monkey see and monkey hear, but when will monkey do?
look around a minute and you'll see that i have come
see what i've been doing, you can tell my work is done
get a little closer, dance a little dirty with me, babe
turn around and see, look at the gifts he made

A Bleak Marriage
03:48

you choked on your coffee
and i sipped on my wine
as the roles were reversed
to see that time will unwind
so she stays
and all the young people
have seen to keep love
but i've lost now with you
but i'll rise above
so she says
no, no, no no no no don't you leave
please please, please don't forget about me
don't read the notes
i hid under the stairs
cause i wrote those for you
as i thought up my prayers
do you care?
i just stared at the paper
as my pen hang above
and i think to myself
all the songs i've never song
and never dare
no, no, no no no no don't you leave
please please, please don't forget about me
(organ solo)
no, no, no no no no don't you leave
please please, please don't forget about me
you took me for granted
and loved him instead
you screwed with my heart
and you messed with my head
fuck you too
and do you pretend
that we are still speaking
though i gave up on you
and you haven't started leaving
i hate you, i hate you
no, no, no no no no don't you leave
please please, please don't forget about me

a cold wind blows through east boston
i'm here instead cause i got no friends
i'm waiting for my life to begin
i'm ready for it, i'm just wondering when
and i know i'll be there soon
and you will be there too
i flip through the channels in my hotel room
i sell some dope to my favorite dude
i hope he'll stay but he never does
i don't know why but i think its cause
i can't have a conversation
without mentioning the beatles a ton
i play in the grass behind my house
talking to goofy and mickey mouse
hoping that i will see you soon
so i can finally leave my room
and i'll play in the woods with you
but i'll get mud on my shoes
i write these words that don't make sense
oh what for, well, 60 cents
i hope to play some shows in the spring
so all of you can come see me sing
and i feel like i've gotta shout
so you know what i'm talking about
i've seen god in my own home
and i've seen satan in metronomes

i woke up last night and I was gone
my girl didn’t follow along
she didn’t want to break the news
but we sang to two different songs
no it’s not her, no it’s not me
it’s just the way it seemed to go
she knew i’d try to cover up so well
but she knew I knew she’d know
my mother went to apologize
but it work as she planned
the locusts have no king yet go
they forth all of them by bands, as I stand
my shoes get filled with sand
i drove over to my brothers house
after ten years of being away
we talked and ate for an hour or two
i drove home at the end of the day
after getting home in the city of love
brotherly love, i mean
i fell asleep in my own bed for once
i guess I blew off too much steam
though I wonder if she misses me
for I miss the touch of her hand
i wonder around for days on end
lord knows, one day i’ll stand in the promised land
my shoes get filled with sand
my back was burning from the yellow rays
after days of working in the sun
my mind was lost in an endless daze
looks like Johnny missed out on the fun
after taking a book from the top of the shelf
flipping through the pages
the lines “Go on, boy, help your brother”
helped me get through a lot of stages
and though I stole most of others words
i will make it the best I can
you can’t stop me from saying my words
my preaching can’t be banned, it’s the law of the land
my shoes get filled with sand
well well I know that my day is over
no food or water for me
big boss man’s driving to my house
sit down would you like some tea
i put on my boots and I tied them tight
for I know i’m traveling way out west
stopped by a cabin made of earth and woods
please man, let me get some rest
he put on a fire, fixed me a drink
asked “how are you doing, man”
“you look real tired, real beat up, you look like you need a hand, I’m a mountain man”
my shoes get filled with sand
i came back home after forty days
of sleeping in the desert dunes
i walked the roads all the way back home
and I wrote me a little tune
it goes “My my my, well well well, I guess you’ve been traveling now”
it goes “My my my and well well well, It leaves me to wondering how
“you know I’m alright yessir i’m fine, just had to find my way up land”
“you know i’m alright yessir i’m fine, lord knows one day i’ll stand, in the promised land”
“my shoes get filled with sand”

I Begin To Crack

i'm waling in a dare cause i haven't talked to you in months
i'm trying to figure out how to talk to you, but i get lost
it's circles and it won't stop, can you help me to calm down?
i'm just trying to go to sleep, but you are keeping me up all night
i say
help me please, help me, can you take me from this burden?
help me please, help me girl, i'm just trying to forget
i need you to get these devils, to stop controlling my heart
and the burdens on my shoulders drop, and i begin to crack
i'm naturally depressing, no i wasn't meant to be a star
i'll travel down to mexico cause it's not too far
i'll take you and all my things, and we will drive till we can feel the heat
we'll sit in a canoe and we will row until the suns been beat
i say
help me please, help me, can you take me from this burden?
help me please, help me girl, i'm just trying to forget
i need you to get these devils, to stop controlling my heart
and the burdens on my shoulders drop, and i begin to crack

Young Man Poet Blues
02:06

i walk into the kitchen with a pen and a pad
i write about the life that you and i could never have
i get to the part where you and i break up
and lord knows i keep on writing cause my pad can't get enough
and i got the young man poet blues again
i got the young man poet blues again
well, i'm walking down the street with a feather in my hat
i see a jock with some cleats, holding a bat
turns he was really where it was at
and it turns out i was really out of whack
and i got the young man poet blues again
i got the young man poet blues again
well, i was running round the corner, lord, running out of time
i was running with a woman, man, a woman that ain't mine
i just keep running, i can never stop
but this woman ain't the only thing i got
i got the young man poet blues again
i got the young man poet blues again

Tell Me Why
02:28

can you tell me why the kings are dead
when their swords were sharp and clean
can you tell me why the sky is blue
yet that's not what reflects in me
can you tell me why the day is done
when i'm not ready to go to bed
can you tell me why you ask for help
when they only want to see you dead
they only want to see you bleed
see you die, see you cry
they only want to fill their greed
tell me why, tell me why
they only want to see you blue
feel them now, crushing you
they only want to break the sky
tell me why, tell me why
can you tell me why you hate me so much
what did i do to deserve the pain
can you tell me why you ran from me
you left the tears running down the windowpane
can you tell me why the sheets are dirty
after many, many days have passed
can you tell me why the years go on
and the months go flying fast
they only want to see you bleed
see you die, see you cry
they only want to fill their greed
tell me why, tell me why
they only want to see you blue
feel them now, crushing you
they only want to break the sky
tell me why, tell me why
