I got nothing much to do and even less to say
I got no business getting drunk again but I'm drinking anyway
I'm boozing up the nerve to call you and invite you to my web
I got no reason to be sober today I'll quit drinking when I'm dead
I got a problem yes you see a disease inside of me
I got no one to call no one for help no one to bring relief
I'm up to my eyeballs in addiction for the way you look
And if you need some information on sickness
I wrote the book

Downtown

My baby likes to go downtown
He's always going down and he won't stop
Until the bus comes to take him home
Every morning noon and every night
He'll go down until he gets it right
He won't stop until the bus comes
And its close, its close, oh god its close
All my girlfriends say that their old man will only go halfway
Its a dangerous place, but he's not afraid
He's a very special man for which I've prayed and prayed
He understands cuz he's not dumb
You gotta wait wait wait for the bus to come
But please don't stop til its coming
please don't stop don't stop don't stop
Hey fellas listen to me
You gotta get downtown its the place to be
But please don't stop until the bus comes
You gotta wait wait wait wait
(Oh god I'm coming I'm coming)
Please don't stop until the bus comes to take you home

Do What's Right
03:14

He's got blue eyes they're oh so nice
I went out with him once about six months ago
I was playing it smart so I thought:
If you don't give it up on the first date
You'll get a lot more later (thats not true)
But you can't always do what's right
And don't I know it
So I emailed my number to him
Did he call? You get one guess just one
Here's a hint: its the opposite of yes
So the next time I saw him I freaked out
There was spitting of beer a Fuck You
And a scene, I apparently tackled him (whoops)
So the word on the street is he hates me
When my name comes up he says I'm crazy
But I bet he still thinks I'm cute
So I'm currently playing it cool
He's sure taking his time but he'll come around soon,
Right? Yeah!

Drink Me Away
03:32
|
|||
|
Well I'm out just walking around
Cuz I know where you'll be found
You're sitting at the bar and
I know you're trying to drink me away
Well aren't you tired of living this lie?
You probably won't notice 'til your glass goes dry
You're swimming in denial with a life preserver alibi
So drink up and shut up
Cuz you never were much for straightening up
You're just so scared you don't know what to do
And to pinch me won't convince me
That you never were in love with me
But when you sober up
You know I'll still be in love with you

How You Feel
02:33
|
|||
|
Never been much for people
Except to drink and laugh and leave
I've had lovers on occasion
But none that affected me
I'm not hopeless when it comes to living
I've just been around enough to see
It doesn't matter what you do or say
it only matters how you feel
It doesn't matter that I'll never have you
The daydreaming gets me through the day
I've heard a thousand lies about you
And I believe every word I say
I've got lies to explain the distance
I've got lies for why you're scared and need time
It feels good to believe when you live to deceive yourself
The truth is just too unkind

Little Bit Angry
01:59
|
|||
|
I don't hate me I just get afraid
Of feeling stuck in this body god made for me
It's easy to escape with just a few drinks
When all my mistakes and my shortcomings start to fade out
All the long nights of my stupidity
A thousand times over will the lord always forgive me?
I'm on autopilot and still set to crash
I'm looking for love in a place where it doesn't exist
My body's a temple but they'll never pray
If I'd kept it on would he have taken me home anyway?
Was it my conversation or anything else at all?
That made you want it all from me?
Can you tell I'm just a little bit angry?

Love In My Life
03:34
|
|||
|
It'd be different if I had love in my life
But I don't give a damn
Cuz everybody dies everybody dies
And I don't give a damn
I was talking to an old ex lover today
Someone I treated bad without compassion
He was kind to me, he was far too kind
And so I asked him, "Don't you hate me?
Aren't you supposed to hate me?"He said,
"To hate you have to first feel love."
To hate you have to first feel love...
I wish he'd hate me, I'd take comfort in his hatred
I'm living with this smoldering crater
Where my damn heart used to be
And everyday I make amends, everyday I make amends
With not letting anyone get near me
I'm gonna be alone and that's all right
I'm gonna be alone and that's all right
Cuz hope is teasing me when I close my eyes
And hope is teasing me whenever I was turn out the light
I'd be lying if I said I had love in my life
But sometimes it's just too hard to give a damn
Cuz everybody's gonna die everybody's gonna die
And I just can't seem to give a damn
I'm gonna die alone and that's all right
I'm gonna die alone and that's all right
Cuz hope is teasing me when I turn out the light
Like hope was teasing me when i was kissing you goodnight

For Shawn

|
I've searched all day for the answer
But this is one I'll never know
I've placed a band-aid on the cancer for too long
And this time I'm letting you know
That I won't be coy if you walk by
So listen, listen to me
Well you're problem is confusion
And you don't know where you belong
And that's fine, cuz I sleep better alone
And if I ever need somebody who makes me feel 10 inches tall
Well, sweet, you're the only one I'd ever call
And I won't be coy if you walk by so listen,
Listen, Sweet, Listen:
Goodbye

Sugar Shaker

Hey Sugar Shaker you're a trouble maker
Baby baby you look so sweet I can almost taste you
If I can look but I cannot touch
You gotta give me something that'll satisfy my lust
Oh, hey Sugar Shaker baby
I'm gonna make you gonna make you mine
The way you look, I can't stand it
Those blue eyes boy, goddamnit!
I guess I had my chance and I blew it
I'd have done you right if I knew it
Shake it shake it
The way you look I can't stand it
Those blue eyes boy, goddamnit!
I guess I had my chance and I blew it
I would take it back if I could do it
Shake it shake

So Alone
03:46
|
|||
|
Don't get excited if you're hurting everybody if it still feels good to you
They'll be laughing halfhearted at the life of the party but it still feels good to you
Don't get excited if you're hurting everybody if it still feels good to you
Even words barely spoken can still lead to something broken but it still feels good to you
And on and on its all the same
And on and on you'll be feeling the same way
You're gonna feel so alone
You're gonna feel so alone
You're gonna be so alone
You're gonna be so alone
Alone alone is how you'll feel
In two shakes you will know that it's for real

I'm Alright
03:14
|
|||
|
I'm too high to come down
It's raining everywhere except for my part of town
I'm floating down the street on a cloud
I'm smiling at the sky cuz frowning's just not allowed
And I'm all right
I've finally figured out what I'm NOT
And now I'm trying to figure out this funny feeling I've got
And it musta been something you said
Cuz now I'm happy to be living when I get outta bed
And I'm all right
