Can’t keep watching you do this to yourself
Don’t bother asking, you need more than my help
So keep taking risks and get your hands dirty
Live in fast forward, die by your thirty
20, 30, 40... always too early when you’re livin’ dirty
20, 30, 40... live in fast forward, die by your thirty
You keep falling and i keep on picking you up
Tending your wounds and cleaning your cuts
I let you believe in all fresh starts
Help you believe, babe, you’re not falling apart
So clean up the glass and wash your feet
Take out the gravel from between your teeth
Throw on a bandage to all that’s wrong
So get up now baby, and write a song

A Little Time

I’d like to tell you that i understand the world
I’d like to find a hundred dollars in my pocket, too.
Wouldn’t it be nice if this had all been planned?
Wouldn’t it be something if the fairy tales were true?
I never gave half a damn but i got through fine.
I did not expect to live this long.
Sometimes i ain’t slept and I might just cry
from the words of some stupid little song
But i still love you, baby, no matter what i say,
Yeah, no matter what i do.
I still love you, baby, i go out of my way,
just to spend a little time with you.
And when the magic comes I’m happy like a fresh-born child,
like it’s the anniversary of something good.
And if it’s bad I’ll still be sad them days have come and gone.
Sometimes i just say fuck it and run.
But i still love you, baby, I’d be better off dead.
Yeah, you know that it’s true.
I still love you, baby, keeps me hanging on
just to spend a little time with you.

Metronome Masochist

Yesterday i thought of all the time that I’ve wasted
Recorded you a love song but immediately erased it
See the writing on the wall although i never faced it
Metronome masochist, yellow eyes flashing
Doesn’t even give a damn whose checks it is she’s cashing
Slashes her wrists just to stop her teeth gnashing
Clear your head, free your mind, is what she’s always saying
Soaks it up like a sponge til the band begins playing
Still no matter what she does i know that I’m not staying

Drug Czar

Let’s go down where the drugs are
Stack says it ain’t too far
We ain’t gonna need the car
To get down where the drugs are
Let’s go down where the drugs are
And get high like a movie star
Hey man where the hell your pants are?
Let’s go down where the drugs are
Take me down by the train tracks
Got some blood on my new axe
Think I’ll find my way back
I’m just down by the train tracks
Let’s go down where the drugs is
Bring your wheat thins and your cheese whiz
Hey man it’s only show biz
Let’s go down where the drugs is
Let’s go down where the drugs are
Stack says it ain’t too far
We’ll get high just like a movie star
I’m best friends with the drug czar
