You Can Try

You can lose your mind trying to make ends meet
when you’ve got the kind of money that a fish got feet
Or you can live your life in the grip of the grind
until the man in the sky decides to send you a sign
You can try
But you might find
that you’re just wasting your time
Now you know I’ve been around the block a time or two
Enough to know that if you play the shit they tell you to
You’ll end up under the gun without an ounce of respect
or you’ll be dry as a bone when they come round to collect
You can try
But you might find
that you’re just wasting your time
You can try
But you might find
that you’re just wasting your time

One At A Time

Set my sites on a golden tone
Till the government told me to leave it alone
They said to have my hairs on the enemy line
Picking em’ off, taking one at a time
1, 2, 3
You better show me the door before I get me anymore
Then I tied my tongue on the telephone
Telling my momma I wanna come home
Then I missed my train out of Amsterdam
Just trying to make it home to my Uncle Sam
1,2,3
You better show me the door before I get me anymore
1,2,3
You better show me the door before I get me anymore

I said you hurt me for the last time today
I let you rule me for too long anyway
And now I'm falling off the face of the earth
But it ain't something that you seem to be concerned about
Is it? Oh no it isn't, is it?
If you need me babe I'll be drifting away
Why don't you tell me something true - something nice
My heart is tired of the rumors and lies
And now I'm falling off the face of the earth
But it ain't something that you seem to be concerned about
Is it? Oh no it isn't, is it?
If you need me babe I'll be drifting away

Gasping For Air
02:48
|

Lately, lately
I can't tell you what's been wrong
But I can tell you that I'm tired
Of the way things gone
I wanna breathe again
Baby, baby
Why's it got to be so hard?
I just want to live in peace
But my mind's at war
You should go away
And I'm gasping for air
And I might not make it there
It ain't easy walking down a road alone
And I'm reaching out to you
'Cause I don't know what to do
And I was thinking that you would pick up your phone
Maybe, maybe
I should pack up all my bags
But I got no money and pretty soon
I'd be wearing rags
I wanna be rich
So I could give it all away

Down In The Ground
02:55
|

|
Down in the ground there's nothing new
I can't find nothing better to do
So I think I'll think a little bit
I think I'll sink a little bit
No I won't listen to you
I'm just messing around
I'm just messing around
I'm just fessing up, can't help fucking up
I'm just messing around
Down in the ground there's nothing new
I dug it up and then I gave it to you
I hope it's bright enough for you
I hope it shines enough for you
I got nothing to lose

Dog dreams
I’m sorry
It’s over
They got my money
It’s early in the evening and I finally started talking
But I’m falling into pieces cause they’re easier to walk in
And I’m finally feeling better but I’m probably just stalling
Cause the letter’s in the mail that’s gonna empty out my wallet
Dog dreams
I’m sorry
It’s over
They got my money
I’m sitting on the sidewalk and my hands are in my pocket
And my teeth are tight as friends who haven’t spent a day apart yet
And I’m honestly a loner but I need someone to talk to
And I hope that you like talking cause I feel like now I’ve got you
Dog dreams
I’m sorry
It’s over
They got my money
Dog dreams
I’m sorry
It’s over
They got my money

Baby let me sit next to you
I can't stand on my own anymore
Baby let me take off my shoes
You know that I have been so lonely before
You came around, you set me down
Baby let's go out and get loose
I got weight that's keeping me down
Baby's got some weight to her, too
But her tail don't drag on the ground
She came around, she set me down
Baby's had a day or two
I can't keep up with my own account
Sitting with my baby so blue
I said you know how I've been feeling now
She came around, she set me down
Baby let me sit next to you
I can't stand on my own anymore
Baby let me take off my shoes
You know that I have been so lonely before
You came around, you set me down

All In All

Saw a man walking down the street
I swear he’s watching everything I eat
And I know it ain’t true but I’ve got nothing better to do
Watched his van for a couple days
they’ve got a tape of everything I say
And I know it ain’t true but I’ve got nothing better to do
Paranoia I thought I threw ya
Round the block and I’m right back to ya
Ooooh, Ahhhh Paranoia
Saw a man light a cigarette
I’ve got a mind to think that I’m burning next
And I know it ain’t true but I’ve got nothing better to do
Found a bug in my bathroom sink
It’s on its way to my brain to tell them what
I think it ain’t true but I’ve got nothing better to do
Paranoia I thought I threw ya
Round the block and I’m right back to ya
Ooooh, Ahhhh Paranoia
Been down this road a thousand time
I know I’m wrong, but what if just this once I might be right?
Ooooh, Ahhhh Paranoia

Follow The Sun
03:10
|

|
Isn't it a shame?
There's something keeping me from changing my mind
I can't tell you why I want to follow the sun
If I run out of space to chase it around
I will set it down and leave it alone
Tomorrow's supposed to be nice
At least that's what I keep hearing
So baby take my advice and leave
I must try to follow the sun

What am I trying to do?
Make up
How am I sleeping tonight?
Face up
Why do I have to choose?
Because
I want it all again
What am I trying to say?
Mixed up
How does it come out alright?
Face up
Why do I have to lose?
Because
I want it all again
Everything will change
Isn't it a shame?

Ode To The Zone

I'm feeling like a hot pipe
I'm feeling like a beer can
I'm feeling like an ashtray
I'm feeling like a soundman
I'm feeling like I ain't feeling nothing at all
