WHAT (1993)
What
And give
somebody all of my time
That word,
we'd never really cross that line
My fault,
I wonder why you never heard
It's my
fault, probably I never should
All the
time I've known you
And maybe
I shoulda told you what
All the
time I've known you
And maybe
I shoulda told you what
What
And give
somebody all my time
That thought
it never really crossed my mind
My fault
I wonder
if you're counting sheep
Yet if
at all
Probably
you're asleep
All the
time I've known you
And maybe
I should have told you what
All the
time I've known you
And maybe
I should have told you what
All the
time I've known you
And maybe
I should have told you what
What
And give
somebody all of my time
That thought
it never really crossed my mind
My fault
I wonder
why you're never hurt
And if
at all
Probably
I never should have
And all
the time I've known you
Maybe I
should have told you
What...
IT'S NOT TOO MUCH / WE'LL BE EVERYWHERE (1993)
When the
candles dim
Pull the
curtains up and close your eyes
Go to sleep
Let the
moonlight fill the bed all night
Won't matter
how
It won't
matter what or when or why
Just lay
in bed
Let the
moonlight fill the bed all night
If you
come back in its place
Can we
forgive and forget mistakes we've made
Just hold
on now
We'll be
everywhere
Can we
just pretend
That the
moon has turned and slipped away
Measure
time
With the
calendar or months and days
It's not
too much
Maybe it's
just a little bit naive
It's always
born
After what
we've done and all we say
If you
come back in its place
Can we
forgive and forget mistakes we've made
We'll be
back again with a ?
Left its
offspring on the line ?
We'll be
everywhere its all ?
Its all
come back.. we remember...?
Can we
just pretend
You're
the one that turned and slipped away
Measure
time
With the
calendar or months and days
It's not
too much
Maybe just
a little bit naive
It's always
born
After what
we've done and all we say
If you
come back in its place Can we forgive and forget mistakes we've made
Just hold
on now we'll be everywhere
Hope it's
not too much (we'll be everywhere)
Maybe it's
just a little bit naive (we'll be everywhere)...
WASTING
MY TIME / I'LL FIND OUT WHAT THERE IS (1993)
Chain me
up
It's easy
to take, it is
It's never
enough
To care
for the outcome
The average
faith that there is
Discussions
of nothing pertain to the mountains
Rattling
around in the my head
Maybe there's
nowhere or no one to run to
But I'll
find out what there is
Oh well,
I'll find out what there is
And I'm
using up space
We wear
in our travels
And straight
into hit or a miss
And I'm
watching my childhood and hometown unravel
And I'll
find out what's left
Oh maybe
I'll find out what's left
Slipping
down landslides
Bearing
on wildlife
And my
biggest days
All your
faith in your liberal disclosures
Are there
in your face
Pine away
in the corner of the closet if you think that it's safe
Yeah maybe
there's nowhere or nothing to turn to
Oh well,
I'll find out how you're made
Oh yeah,
I'll find out how you're made
And I'm
wasting my time
Issues
never worth solving
All that
there was there still is
And I'm
watching my friendships and love life dissolving
And I'll
find out what there is
Maybe I'll
find out what there is
YOU COST
ME TOO MUCH (1988?)
I could
fall asleep for you my girl but it's not enough
And the
scenes of your last visit lie buried in the dust
If I don't
fall in love with you my girl, please understand
I'll go
find another county and leave it in the end
I've seen
forty-seven pictures all with you upon the face
From the
noise I'm making running is a secondary pace
From the
scenes of your last visit I still feel it where we touched
Where you
cost me too much
Oh the
time I spent with you my girl was all in vain
Waiting
out the rapids we can't escape the pain
If I fall
in love with you my girl it'll never end
And the
sky will likely open raining holocaust and Zen
On the
west side of the forest on a highway in the sun
Stands
a pointless individual who knows his time has come
Though
I know it's nothing funny
I'm still
howling like a lush
'Cause
you cost me too much
It's the
same in here
Nothing's
changed yet my dear
Oh if I
had known to know you well
Lock us
up in a sinners hell for days
If I don't
fall in love with you my girl, please understand
I'll go
find another city and leave it in the end
If I run
away with you my girl please try to see
I'll do
all I can to please you
But I don't
expect you'll be
On the
highest roof around me where I'm feeling pretty dumb
I scan
on the horizon for the other dumbshits as they come
I'm' growing
older faster
Still howling
like a lush
'Cause
you cost me too much
25 WOMEN
AGO (1988?)
(Doug Hopkins?)
She used
to love me
But she
just couldn't say it
Her friends
just told me
I just
found out today
I could
have had her in my arms
But I didn't
know
That she
used to love me
But that
was twenty-five women ago
If she
just could have told me
You know
I would have been true
But she
knows all about the girls that I've had
There's
not a thing I can do
Why did
they have to tell me
I wish
that I just didn't know
That I
could have been happy
But that
was twenty-five women ago
I close
my eyes and I see her
She's even
lovelier now
I want
to ask her to give me one more chance
But I don't
even know how
And then
she speaks to me softly
And says
there's one thing that I know
You get
but one chance at true love
And yours
was twenty-five women ago
BRACKISH WATER (1988?)
I heard
something I never could have thought would ever exist
Coming
home was only a myth
I saw something
can't make it up but could never forget
Seeing
only what the water reflects
Seems all
right, should have known
I don't
care if you're not alone
In the
brackish waters of home
Reasoning
what I had lost
Watching
the ? rain falling down
Where we
went around
Falling
to brackish sound
Trees and
the crabgrass only look covered by time and the moss
Hoping
for the time we had lost
Seems that
now I've had my say, should never be ?
Coming
home was always a joke
Reasoning
what I had lost
Watching
the Washington rain falling down
Where we
went around
Falling
to brackish sound
I'M STILL WONDERING WHERE THOSE BASTARDS ARE (1988?)
We were
on our way to Flagstaff
Driving
up that windy road
With two
roadworthy vehicles
And one
hellacious load
Somehow
they fell behind us
We thought
we'd meet them there
But here
we are in Flagstaff
And the
van's Christ knows where
And I'm
still wondering where those bastards are
They're
probably swilling in some Sedona bar
I think
I'll have a cigarette and I'll sit here on the car
'Cause
I'm still wondering where those bastards are
Well they
didn't bother calling
They knew
just where we'd be
The band
was told to start at nine
And now
it's ten-fifteen
If we don't
get set up and play
The bar
will close its doors
Then we'll
have to pay for our way home
By sweeping
up the floors
But I'm
still wondering where those bastards are
They're
probably swilling in some Sedona bar
I think
I'll have a cigarette and I'll sit here on the car
'Cause
I'm still wondering where those bastards are
The owner
told us flatly
We won't
play here again
Until hell
freezes over,
Perhaps
not even then
Well it's
time to leave this empty bar
It's closing
anyway
You might
say we're shit out of luck
But all
that I can say is...
I'm still
wondering where those bastards
They're
probably swilling in some Sedona bar
I think
I'll have a cigarette and I'll sit here on the car
'Cause
I'm still wondering where those bastards are.
NOTHING
AT ALL (1988?)
(Robin
Wilson)
Well I'll
get drunk and you can drive
It seems
more than a week in my head's gone by
I often
wander inside your head
But I wonder
if it's worth the try
I believe
in nothing at all and nothing is enough for me
'Cause
from the silent grave of an empty heaven
I don't
find it hard to believe
That the
blue sky is falling down
On the
heads of the people of this foolish town
The sky
is open and I don't know why
But heaven
is falling from the blue blue sky
I can't
shake something that I've been told
Or maybe
it was something I read
That I
should believe in the ozone hole
And that
Jesus and Elvis aren't dead
Now it
seems to me a voodoo song
That'd
piss the devil off right
Wave a
chicken foot at one and now the ? is gone
For the
first time in all of my life
The blue
sky is falling down
On the
heads of the people of this foolish town
On the
tail of a comet maybe we could ride
I heaven
is falling from the blue blue sky
I thought
something beautiful before
Now it
seems to me a lifetime ago or more
Now the
biggest piece yet has fallen on my home
And the
lights are falling down in my head
No matter
how I pray to the Pope in Rome
My dead
dog still stays dead
So now
I believe in nothing at all
But drinking
and fucking and sleep
'Cause
when you rise and shine to the soulless desert
I don't
find it hard to sleep
The blue
sky is falling down
On the
heads of the people in this foolish town
On the
tail of a comet maybe we could ride
If heaven
is falling from the blue blue sky
The blue
sky is falling down
On the
heads of the people in this foolish town
The sky
is open and I don't know why
Heaven
is falling from the blue blue sky.
DREAM WITH
YOU (1988?)
(Doug Hopkins?)
? lays in
the dark all day
She waits
for the sun to go down
And in
her novel we appear
To change
her moods around
Well she
forgets you now
Well she
forgets you now
And girls
like that they own the world
They'll
sell you what you need
On languid
streets you search for her so ? in her sleep
Well she
leads you on
Well she
leads you on
Dream with
you
Well she
could only dream with you
And the
distance keeps her warm
Her letters
talk of things she's seen
Her silence
what she's learned
Reminsce
and drink with them
To hasten
her return
Well she
forgets you now
Well she
forgets you now
Well she
forgets you now
Well she
forgets you now
Dream with
you
Well she
could only
And the
distance keeps her warm
Dream with
you
Well she
could only
And the
distance keeps her warm
Dream with
you...
