I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not

dreams and living
Like a millionaire

Well the first thing he did is his gas got low
He said I got to pull it off by the side of the road
Pick up my guitar

by our side
How many times has that been said
With the friendships we have found
Those ships sailed and wrecked

I've lost my identity
In this

and rewind
Awaken in reality it's love that you'll find

I will not sit back
and let people take our earths last breathe
I will stand for peace in this test

I captured comfortably
The seasons as you walked by
I matched them perfectly
Swallowed all my tides

Don't wait up for me
I don't think it's best
I

the passions that keep me alive
And though I've been saved
By your friendship in a thousand little ways
The best friendships always end with a goodbye

So let's

of the eyes; I see what's inside you
Second sight, my Evil Eye sees what you do
I'll see to your evil spirit, the with sorcery of Voodou

Get me a goddamn

like the stairway to heaven
No i can't miss a step
Shorty like Nike
She just do it
She go get the check
She got me feeling crazy
She not even my misses

My mistakes are the best parts of me
Lost letters that no one can see
I’m lifted and sifted, and then cast aside, 
And nobody knows where the ink likes

Voodoo Thing

Let's Make a Disc Deal

to the edge of a knife
One kiss from her lips turn my blood turn to ice
I tried to run by the light of the moon
I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too

Durham, oh not that old
You know I think that it had James Earl Jones
And Kevin Costner, though it wasn't For The Love of The Game

My brother always

What men have not 
What carries weight is under neath the floor  

Of course you love the hands that hold you 
My love is a statue I adore
This love I

I see people work all day While we're told lies from afar
We're living on a penny for a full

we're in the arms
in the arms
of no lord

to drink. 

I'm buried in my shirt what I can't see won't hurt. 
I hope I never see you again. 
Not after what you did or what you said. 
I bet you

My parents did their best to get me going
Young innocence obliviously broken
Torn down with time
Foggy sight with a clear mind, but I can see what

The formula's written down, a vision I put my trust into
Convinced in those angelic words
What I saw won't be announced, for no soul will comprehend

around as fast as I could
Searched for bumblebee in the deep blue hue
Finally found it still begging for dry woods
Why did she fly so far away from her

at that glory hole.

Her name was Mariana
She was a pepper-crackin' ho
And for some fucking reason
Most people called her Maryanne
And she did not like that

giving birth
Listen to the sorrows of our Mother Earth
Listen to the beggar man begging in the street
Please can you spare some change so I can get some

everybody else is falling apart
in a world that keeps ending
I know you and I could
make a new start
my days go by.

Float on
You cannot know the twist and turns of this
Slow flowing river
That is time
Don't try and find
The rhythm of my thoughts
For they are long

said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then
You won't have to die"
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life
For I'd been in

I could sleep all day when you're by my side
If I could keep you fed
To ease your head
Would then you let
A croon come out for me
Rummaging through my
