So I took my guitar And I threw down some chords And some words I could sing without shame And I soon had a song I played it around For some friends
Last night just north of Houston Broadway so many people Through your third story window I see my favorite record store Where is the laughter? Where
Before you speak The words are plain to see Upon your skin, they sing, they dance and spin So what, pray tell Will save you now? Here comes that cold
Pour yourself another cup Another cup, another cup And wait, I can't wait forever Live your life A stupid life, a stupid life, a stupid life It's a game
I can't decide And I can't hide Make up my mind It's a waste of time Here comes the knife You better just stand back I could turn on you so fast It'
Oh, my, my, little white lie I swear I'm gonna make it right this time It's like a radio turning way down low Telling me things I do not know I know
Soft from your lips to the rise of your stomach Your long filthy fingers keep jamming words down my throat Nothing to steal you've got nothing to love
See your reflection in the mind You keep your revelations wide They knew just where to draw the line You let them got you every time Though it breaks
I can't see Sing the darker of Pissing on my toes Knowing what I know I know I'm waiting Like a loyal whore Under every stone Lovers sleep alone Alone
Your face in windows, outside forever Nobody dreamed you'd save the world Nobody dreamed you'd save the world Your march is over, the great destroyer
his soul goes on forever And time is just a hunger It leads itself to nothing When it finally takes us over I hope we float away together Yeah, time's the great destroyer
When I go deaf I won't even mind Yeah, I'll be alright And I'll be just fine I'll stay out all night Looking at the sky I'll still have my sight Yeah
The levee's breaking Feel it shakin' like the dirt All the kids are sleeping Silent dreams beneath their heads Go to wake up screamin' Little lights
