Sometimes I curse the air
Because I lost my youth
When I lost my hair
At 16 I am 60
60 years down the line
I won't have a dime
For retirement
I don't have the time
For temperance
I have the blues in my heart
I have the blues
Heaven's angels hark
The time they see me
I am 60
60 years down the line
I won't have any gold
For investing
No time
For divesting
My livelihood
Sometimes I thank the air
Because I lost my youth
When I lost my hair
At 60 I am 16
16 years up the line
I had a dime
For my happiness
I had a dime
For carelessness
I was giddy with delight
Because I found out
I was right
In thinking
I'm wrong for saying some things
like, I'm gonna live forever
And I never
Had a second thought
At 16
At 60
Years old

No Clothes On
01:49

I went dancing on my own
Last night
When you came
And took me where
The sun don't shine
And I cried
I cried all night
Because just yesterday
You could've
Changed your mind
Yesterday I was on my phone
And I took a call
Man, I should have known
Cause' I cried
I cried all night
Because just yesterday
You could've changed your mind
You left me with no clothes on
Clothes on
Left me with
No clothes on
Clothes on
I know
You know
I know
You know
That I tried my part
And didn't start
To feel the way I should
This time
It's hard for me
To stop and breathe
It's hard for me
To go

Moving My Feet
03:41
|

|
I didn't know the place
Where you saw my face
And suddenly knew me
I didn't know your name
Just recognized your face
And the stories of fame
And I keep thinking
Of the prospect of
Nothing that's left for us
To take from
But I know
That you know
That I can't sleep without
Moving my feet anymore
And I could write
Many songs about love
Trouble is
There is but none to have
But I know
That you know
That I can't sleep without
Moving my feet anymore
And, oh
Running out of time
And you
Are walking out of line
But she's calling out to you
A face that's fairly new
A voice from the blue
That you don't hear
Anymore
And I keep thinking
Of the prospect of
Nothing that's left for us
To take from
And I could write
Many songs about Love
Trouble is there is
But none to have
But I know
That you know
That I can't sleep without
Moving my feet anymore

Long Walks
02:28
|
|||
|
I sat there waiting
For you to go
Back to your lady
Back to your home
You didn't tell me
What was the problem
Was it her
Or was it you
What do you know
And I'm trying to see the light
That's shining bright in her eyes
I'm trying to disguise the lines
On my forehead
I was rotten
You stepped outside
My bones were curling up inside
I tried to see, but through the lines
And now we're both dead
I said
I was running
And I wanted to go home
You were funny
And I couldn't have my own
Long walks and long talks
I wonder what she was doing those nights
Jumped in the back of the car
I didn't go very far
Long walks and long talks
And staying close
But far enough, right
(But doing it right)
We didn't go very far
Jumped out the back of the car
With you and him never apart
I lived with you in my heart
I lived with you for a start
I lived with you in my heart
I was running
And I wanted to go home
You were funny
And I couldn't have my own

Me, U, & Hell
03:47
|

|
There's a day that never ends
I think that I could be your friend
The world is changing as I seem to sleep
Buried in dreams I'll have to piece
Together again
I walked up to you
Tried to see right through
See whatever through
To see right through you
I never said I'd weather storms
I never said I never
And by fault of omission
I found a reason
To let myself out
By fault of omission
I found a reason
To let myself out
By fault of omission
I found a reason
To let myself out
I brought you out of hell
I led you to the well
I came to you for help
I saved myself as well
I saved myself as well
I saved myself as well

Skinny Dog (Feral Mix)

Skinny dog, what did you do
How'd you get so sick with no food
Skinny dog, how do you do
How'd you get so ill with no clue
I know I'm not too hard to use
I know I'm not too hard to use
Baby doll, that's what I'll call you
How'd you get here
Are you going to go soon
Baby doll, it's been quite some time
Since I've seen you speaking in time
I moved slowly
When you'd hold me
Cause' I'm just a skinny dog like you
I know I'm not too hard to use
I know
I know I'm not too far from you
I know
I know which kennel I would choose as home
I know what kennel I would choose as

Please Look At Me
03:08
|

|
You've got to really show
Really show
Really show how it works for you
Like the night I said
I'd pray for you
And do what you told me to
Please look at me
Look at me in my eye
The other one's closed shut
How hard I try
The rub won't work
But it's still up
I'm just
Trying to give a fuck
And get one
Nothin' matters in my place
Nothin' matters, I'm a waste
Trying to give a fuck
And get one
Nothin' matters in my place
Nothin' matters, I'm a waste
You know you've really shown
Really shown
Really shown how it works for you
Like the night I said
I prayed for you
And did what you told me to
I don't why I didn't see it all along
I tried to give a fuck
But everything was wrong
I don't know why I didn't see it all along
I guess I'll test my luck
Let it go
Keep moving on

Half Life/Shelf Life
04:40
|

On a market shelf outside
In the back, by the dump
Where the cars hit the jumps
Felt the lump in my back
I am scarred, put me back
It goes on and on and on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on and on
How long is it gonna go on
How long is it gonna go on
I'm shrunken and bruised
So soft, too used
When I came it was news
So sad to see it go
But I'm tin, I broke
It goes on and on and on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on and on
How long is it gonna go on
How long is it gonna go on
It goes on until it hits the bottom
Until it hits the bottom
It goes on, I'll follow it
Until I hit the bottom
Until I hit the bottom I'll go down trying
Until it hits the bottom
Until it hits the bottom, I'll go
I thought I was half alive
I thought I was half alive
Truth is that I'm finding out
What life is like, I'll find it out
Sometimes I'm not too sure of myself
I know I'm not a half life, shelf life
Half life, shelf life, half life, shelf life
Half life
