Anti-Everything Song
03:40
|
|||
I wake up to the news every morning
I take a shower, cut myself shaving
Then I go to work like all the other workers
I think one day I might just go beserkers
I can't make sense of it
nobody gives a shit
maybe it's time to give up
This is my anti-everything song
no stadium anthem, no chorus singalong
this is my anti-everything song
I hope you like it
I hate real-i-TV and politics too
religion and musicians to just name a few
I could go on and on forever endlessly
until there's nothing left except little old me
This only sucks a little
the jury gave acquittal
but I still have to pay the fine
This is my anti-everything song
No dance floor explosion, no download #1
this is my anti-everything song
Tell me you like it
I've got one word for everything:
No No No No
Anti-everything song
so it goes and so it goes
Anti-everything song

A Little Evil
04:39
|
|||
I picked a little town in Iowa
and didn't stop to pack the bags
I drove the back roads out of Fayetteville
to leave a husband in Fort Bragg
I didn't ever use a credit card
but I could've used a bodyguard
A little evil goes a long way
and I can say I've had my share
the day I met him was the wrong day
a little evil goes a long way
it goes a long way
There was a diner where I got a job
but the boss was such a bitch
He told me that I'd have to sleep with him
otherwise he'd have to snitch
I told him he could take a flying leap
or just go and find some friendly sheep
A little evil goes a long way
and I was on the run again
and I'll be running every damn day
until I shed this skin
A little evil goes a long way
it goes a long way
I can't play the victim anymore
ain't no way to live
A little evil goes a long way
and it was time to spread the sin
So I loosened up his wheels
and let him chase me again
As I watched him crash and burn
it was so easy to say
A little evil goes a long way
it goes a long way
it goes a long way
it goes a long way

Stranger in Dixie
04:52
|
|||
The snow is fallin' like teardrops tonight
the temperature has dropped off the chart
And I picture a Tennessee moon as bright
as the glow of a soft, Southern heart
And now this Greyhound is taking me there
to a place somewhere south of the Jersey state line
They call me a Stranger in Dixie
and I can't deny, been living a lie
I'd rather be stranger in Dixie
than somewhere so cold
the hearts don't thaw in July
A life so full of mistakes and pride
I've never been able to shed
Tonight I'm going to leave it behind
and start looking forward instead
And now I've packed up and said my goodbyes
As these storm clouds head north
I'll pass 'em on by
They call me a Stranger in Dixie
and I can't deny, been living a lie
I'd rather be stranger in Dixie
than somewhere so cold
the hearts don't thaw in July
I dreamt about glories past
and summer days dying off too fast
I always knew I'd come here last
so I could be buried under bluegrass
And now this Greyhound is taking me there
to a place somewhere south of the Jersey state line
They call me a Stranger in Dixie
and I can't deny, been living a lie
I'd rather be stranger in Dixie
than somewhere so cold
the hearts don't thaw in July
somewhere so cold
the hearts don't thaw in July

You been whistlin' Dixie long enough
I'm gonna change that tune
I'll show you notes you ain't never heard
but you'll be singin' 'em soon
I'll just take that there termometer
and blow it into little bits
Cause if ya can't take the heat
don't stand in the kitchen
Hours pass like minutes honey
and minutes feel like days
It's taken me months to get one little kiss
ain't got no time to waste
If I wanted ice I'd go to the freezer
instead of your fingertips
Cause if ya can't take the heat
don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run
Don't stand in the kitchen
If your June is hot, I'll give you July
and toss in August for free
You'll be sweatin' buckets of icicles
at just one little look from me
So hold your excuses and 'not tonights'
I'm just not buyin' it
Cause if ya can't take the heat
don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run
I've been up and down this road before
On your way out, please don't slam the door
We've been dancin' a cool slow one babe,
it's time for callin' it quits
Cause if ya can't take the heat
don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Ready or not, here I come
Don't stand in the kitchen
Don't stand in the kitchen
Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run
Please don't stand in the kitchen
Please don't stand in the kitchen

Driver's Seat
04:02
|
|||
It was raining on the Interstate today
and my vision was filled with gray
I cradled the wheel with pen in hand
to write you this letter again
Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to
and the engine runs on it's own
State highway 60 -- one lane each way
and I'm fightin' the wind and rain
From St. James to 'Kato I can't think of a word
you haven't already heard already heard
Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to
and the engine runs on it's own
And I may be sittin' in the driver's seat
but I can't seem to find my way home
Blew a tire just out of Fairbault
it's just as well though
guess I ain't comin' home
just lettin' you know
Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to
and the engine runs on it's own
And I may be sittin' in the driver's seat
but I can't seem to find
can't seem to find
can't seem to find my way home

I Just Wanna Love You
04:14
|
|||
I left home to save myself
a useless marriage is what I gave myself
Bitter days and nights of tears
that I let turn into all these years
I don't wanna hear what you been sayin'
or know what you been doin'
I just wanna love you
the thoughts that you been thinkin'
the whiskey you been drinkin'
I just wanna love you
A glass of wine becomes a bottle
becomes another broken window
The liquor the lies and everything between
gone but not forgotten like a dream
I don't wanna hear what you been sayin'
or know what you been doin'
I just wanna love you
the thoughts that you been thinkin'
the whiskey you been drinkin'
I just wanna love you
If ya take another minute
baby that's too long
I just wanna love you
I don't wanna hear what you been sayin'
or know what you been doin'
I just wanna love you
the thoughts that you been thinkin'
the whiskey you been drinkin'
I just wanna love you
I can't stand another stupid reason
it might as well be treason
I just wanna love you
If ya take another minute
baby that's too long
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you

Thunderhead
04:47
|
|||
I was born a wispy mist
jealous of the cumulus
hoping that someday instead
I'd become a Thunderhead
Passing by on heaven's breath
for a cloud there is no death
shedding tears on fools earthbound
how they fear my every sound
When you begin your life
in the middle of a heat exchange
any little pressure drop
is likely to enrage you
You must be a cloud
You must be a cloud
When I turn from white to gray
something dark is on it's way
see the sky burst into tears
see why I deserve your fear
When you begin your life
in the middle of a heat exchange
any little pressure drop
is likely to enrage you
You must be a cloud
Clear blue sky
no prevailing wind
and where am I?
Lost in space again
When you begin your life
in the middle of a heat exchange
any little pressure drop
is likely to enrage you
You must be a cloud
When you begin your life
in the middle of a heat exchange
any little pressure drop
is likely to enrage you
it's likely to enrage you
it's likely to enrage you

Out of My Heart
04:44
|
|||
There was snow on the ground the day you split
and the wind blew around like an argument
I followed up your tracks to the frozen lake
and I prayed you'd be there for your own sake
How long have you been gone? I don't know
But I can't get myself out of this bed
and I can't get your words out of my head
I can't find a way to a fresh start
until I get you out of my heart
out of my heart
All my friends did their best to cheer me up
but a bottle of Jack wasn't near enough
and I pity (not "pretty") every single woman
who came after you
There ain't no talkin' sense to this shipwreck dude
How long 'til you are gone? I don't know no no no
But I can't get to sleep without being numb
and I can't start the day without Coke & rum
I can't write myself into a new part
until I get you out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart
[bridge]
How long 'til I am gone? I don't know-- I just don't know
I can't get myself out of this bed
and I can't get your words out of my head
I can't find a way to a fresh start
until I get you out of my heart
I can't get to sleep without being numb
and I can't start the day without Coke & rum
I can't write myself into a new part
until I get you out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart
out of my heart

Red Hot Rivet
04:32
|
|||
She's a face somewhere out there
a state of grace for those who dream
sex and race - a woman named Sojourner
love and passion speak
Born into a separate nation
black and tall a woman too
she refused to crawl
into emancipation
her ideas grew
Red hot rivet of Truth
she's a red hot rivet of Truth
She's a child, she's a mother
she's a life of spirituality
and when she says
Ain't I a woman?,
who can disagree?
Red hot rivet of Truth
she's a red hot rivet of Truth
when it comes over you
it's a red hot rivet of Truth
She's no ordinary
no imaginary Truth
Truth......
she's a red hot rivet of Truth
when it comes over you
it's a red hot rivet of Truth
a red hot rivet of Truth
when it comes over you
it's a red hot rivet of Truth

Unconscious
04:52
|
|||
Sun comes up sun goes down
like a million times before
in this unconscious town
And I stand where I stood
as if the act of waiting
can do me any good
I'm standing at the altar
I'm begging for redemption
I'm living in the past and future tense
A man without religion
or sensory perception
and why you left I can't begin to guess
You said laugh you said cry
you said live inside the moment
and die before you die
But my past imprisons me
and my fear about the future
that can never set me free
Sleeping on the sidewalk
dreaming of forgiveness
and waking up to nothing but regret
time is an illusion
and pain is it's companion
clocks and calendars a constant threat
Lightning strikes surrounded by thunder
I'm alone in the rain
Memories pulling me under
I'm unconscious again
Sun comes up sun goes down
like a million times before
in this unconscious town
Standing at the altar
begging for redemption
living in the past and future tense
A man without religion
or sensory perception
and why you left I can't begin to guess
A man without religion
or sensory perception
and why you left I can't begin to guess
