Used to be somebody . . .
Shudder
Sometimes I wonder do you notice at all
Or are you just too kind to say?
Anything that might lead me to tears
You know sometimes I get that way
When all my life has been so honest honey
There ain’t no fooling around
But if I sit out would you think less of me?
There ain’t no gold in this town
Sometimes I wonder do you stutter when you think or do you stutter much at all?
No hair and glasses, too much to drink
Anybody else would’ve had it all
When my intentions are so honest honey
This ain’t no fooling around
If I sit out would you think less of me?
There ain’t no gold in this town
When all my time has been so honest honey
This ain’t no fooling around
If I sell out would you think less of me?
Demonstrate
Loving what they do
Made a face at you
Hearing what they say
I laugh my life away
Of all the things I wanted to
I chase myself away from you
And even still I just can’t go away
I know you don’t mind the wait
I know you don’t mind the slow
What I can’t separate, I can’t demonstrate
Alone and out of tune
Not a trace out of you
Adhere to what they say
I laugh my life away
Of all the things I wanted to
I chase myself away from you
And even still I just can’t go away
I know you don’t mind the wait
I know you don’t mind the slow
What I can’t separate, I can’t demonstrate
Got it Made
I’m barely awake hardly to blame
Got things I’d like to break not a thing to frame
And you say, “Don’t say it’s much too late"
or "Who I’m gonna be can’t wait”
You and me, we got it made, got it made
You and me, we’re just afraid that it’s too
Better left undone than unsaid
Better things to do instead
Do I read your mind or just plagiarize?
It’s a choice that lies well inside of me
You and me, we got it made, got it made
You and me, we’re just afraid that it’s too late
Get Me Outa Here
My ego is only surpassed by these years
My wisdom, let’s hear some
As long as you arrive on time
Pay your way and settle down—a long, long way from here
As long as you account for yourself
And find a way to get me outa here
This barstool is the past from where I come
This might be my last get me home
As long as you arrive on time
Pay your way and settle down—a long, long way from here
As long as you account for yourself
And find a way to get me outa here
Wouldn't it be so nice
If you'd be so kind
Point me to the door under the exit sign
Won't you please?
As long as you arrive on time
Pay your way and settle down--a long, long, way from here
As long as you account for yourself
And find a way to get me outa here
Sun, Sky, & Stars
When I’m feeling alone
Although I have no right to be
And I think I can’t go on
That’s when you come to me
You are the sun, the sky, & the stars
You are the clouds, the night, and the rain
You ease my mind and you fill my heart
You are to me everything
When I’m selfish and uncertain
When I think only of me
You open my eyes to what I’m missing
And show me things I could not see
You are the sun, the sky, & the stars
You are the clouds, the night, and the rain
You ease my mind and you fill my heart
You are to me everything
Cranberry
Old people, blond hair
Old fashioned it’s not fair
Children exploited and I don’t care
Nostalgic smoke it’s already gone
I can see you waking up to me
I can see you move to fast not easily
Any day of the week I see you there
Any time, any place, any mood, anywhere
Old feelings are not there
When old faces just stare
Children exploited and I don’t care
Nostalgic smoke it’s already gone
I can see you waking up to me
I can see you move to fast not easily
Any day of the week I see you there
Any time, any place, any mood, anywhere
All the things she says she knows
She comes around and overgrows
Suddenly once in a while
She comes to me and overthrows
It Old people, blond hair
Old fashioned it’s not fair
Children exploited and I don’t care
Nostalgic smoke it’s already gone
I can see you waking up to me
I can see you move to fast not easily
Any day of the week I see you there
Any time, any place, any mood, anywhere
Nowhere
What if it means a lot to me?
What if you’re never coming back?
What if I finally found the words
To say what I finally have to say?
You’re not guided nowhere
And not doing nothing
What if it means a lot me?
Now that you’re never coming back
What if I finally found the words
To say what I finally have to say?
You’re not guided nowhere
And not doing nothing
Asbury Park
Someone who’s got a reliable job
Someone who’s got a reliable car
Take us down to Atlantic City
Or at least Asbury Park
If we make Asbury Park
Where the night’s long and the day is so hard to start
If we ever get that far
She says, “So long, goodnight sweetheart”
Someone who won’t get drunk every night
We can trust with our credit cards
Someone who doesn’t want to join the band
And who knows how to tune guitars
If we make Asbury Park
Where the night’s long and the day is so hard to start
If we ever get that far
She says, “So long, goodnight sweetheart”
Drowning
Last Word
Last word is so frightening
Last thing I’ll say to you
Who’ll get that last word
Before I go
The last word me or you?
Last time I heard we were still fighting
And that’s the best thing that we do
Who’ll get that last word
Before too long
You know that last word like I do
The last word is I do
