Strange Men

Good people can’t you see what a waste I’ve made of this life?
And I’ve poured it out into the crowded streets
Making my way to the pub
To find someone to meet
Yeah…
And my people can’t you find a better use of my mind other than TV?
I’m pissing it out into bars and on cars
And if you’re believing all the lies from other folks
You have no clue at all
Strange men, strange men who have no clue at all
Who have no clue at all
For a long time I thought that I had seen it all on my block
But if I can make it down to pay all of my rent
Yeah, well, and I had to sell out one or two of my friends to make the ends
Oh, and I fell in love maybe once, maybe twice
So I think I figure out to say who’s wrong or right in this life
Strange men, strange men who have no clue at all
Who have no clue at all
Broken down inside the city walls
Falling deeper into bottomless snake holes
People speeding without the wheels to drive
There’s not a decent man or girl coming from left in sight
Just some greedy men filling up their own hands
Raping and pillaging all the land
Strange men, strange men who have no clue at all
Who have no clue at all

World Coming Down On Me
03:39
|

And it feels like billionaires are making war for fun
And when I think of the situation
It’s like a theme park filled with lost boys and guns
Oh, and it feels like, feels like the world is coming down on me
And it feels like, feels like the world is coming down
But it’s cashed, it’s cashed for free
When I try to put a candle to it
It’s like the walls are closing in on me
And like a school full of fools
They turn on the TV and buy every word of it
Until they say…
Oh, and it feels like, feels like the world is coming down on me
And it feels like, feels like the world is coming down
But it’s cashed, it’s cashed for free
And only the lonely ones come into knowing the world this way
And I can’t believe the way we’re walking thru life all the same
But I hope you walk the line and join this march of ours
Why don’t you get off the front porch
To fight with us to find what you’re looking for
A bit of heaven on Earth
To hide the hate, dearth, blood, and shame
They brought when they came
And it feels like, feels like the world is coming down on me
Oh, and it feels like, feels like the world is coming down on me
But it’s cashed, it’s cashed for free

When You Were Young

Maybe I should leave
Maybe you should go
Maybe I'll forget in a hundred years or so
It was my idea, it couldn't have been worse
You will never understand my loneliness
My loneliness...
I'd struggle for the power
The freedom just to run
Just to have the control of my life again
It used to be so fun to get off on the world
Now you'd be hard pressed to find that poor boy again
That poor boy again...
You can't forget the choices you made when you were young
And when you see our faces we'll make sure that you can't run
We were picking up the time
Counting out the words
When you kissed me with your pin-sharp razor tongue
We should go in for the kill, but it would only make it worse
It’s a good time for a new line of fighting back
Of fighting back...
You can't forget the choices you made when you were young
And when you see our faces we'll make sure that you can't run.
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA

Bang Bang Bang

Well Mama wasn't too proud
About what her son had done
You know he went in the crowd
With his loaded gun
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
Well he had papa's eyes
Glazed from drinking anger's cup
You know he wrote it all down
And said it must be done
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang
I've seen this scene
So many times in my poor head
I wish, I wish I was dreaming but I'm wide awake
It's building up, It's building up
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang
As his cross hairs watered up
His clammy fingers tightened round
He longed to hear the echo
Of that awful sound
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang
The blue men came runnin' up
Fingers itching from the rush
Before he could make a sound
He was six feet under
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang
I've seen this scene
So many times in my poor head
I wish, I wish I was dreaming but I'm wide awake
It's building up, It's building up
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang
Bang, Bang, Bang

You Got The Heart
05:10
|

Stand up, stand up for the first time in your life
Don’t you wanna paint a life outside the lines?
Come down, from your glass house on the hill
And think back upon the truth you used to live
Your charge, peppered with the pain of life’s pitfalls
She asked me are you gonna heed or pass the call?
My love, my love is gonna change the world someday
You can read it in the web of stars she said
You gotta make it better for yourself
You gotta make it, you gotta make it…
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
The years, they pulled the wanderlust out of my head
Said I don’t need it now that I’m a man
But my past, spent away singing songs with a band
I only spoke my mind with my guitar in hand, and I thought…
You gotta make it better for yourself
You gotta make it, you gotta make it…
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
Born in the heart, deep in a barren land, I was left all alone
Drifting all around, skipping back and forth from city to towns
My thoughts were my radio
But now I’m grown, no more adventure to show
Long gave up my boyhood code
‘til a gypsy woman looked me straight in the eye and peered into my soul
She said ‘Damn boy, you’ve already wasted plenty of time in your life,
You know what you need, get that guitar back in your mind’s eye.
Cause this is the game, it’s getting better everyday.'
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
This is the game, it's getting better everyday
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind, baby
You got the heart, you got the soul, you got the mind baby

Under His Bed
03:55

…and he looked under his bed,
Into the closet, he didn't find it
So then grumbled, grumbled and he said
I'll take a walk, it seems to be lost out in the street
Into the park, out in the public
Asking the people to see if they'd help out,
but they all said "sorry, we don't wanna get involved"
He will never find out
He will never find out
The life I lead behind his back... at all
When I woke up this morning
I had a terrible pain in my back
It's been like seven years since it's bothered me like that
I've been carrying a load that I didn't mean to grab
Whether I deserved it or not is really quite beside the fact
I cried this morning when I read the news
Like old John Lennon I want to sing it to you
Like a bad post modern painting intent to confuse
It rushed right in and thru me
What a terrible, terrible muse...
Dear Momma, I didn't mean to make you cry
But you know just who I am
I'm my father's son, and you need to know
I'm gonna break some hearts and travel the world
Dear Momma, I didn't mean to make you cry
But you know just who I am
I'm my father's son, oh, and you need to know
I'm gonna break some hearts and travel the world

In Due Time
03:40

And it’s alright with me
Your heart will find
In due time
And it’s okay if you leave
My pain will fight
I tell myself
But my heart’s all broken
Pieces scattered on the ground
And quite a pairing we made
You see it too late
Or maybe not
When the band is all over
Come see the lover in me
Love will never really ever go away
Love will never really ever go away
And it’s alright with me

Cruising through this game we call life
Even though I'm far behind
I pay it no mind
Day to day I live like I know I should
Letting trouble pass me by until I met you
And the whole world changes because
I'm with you, I'm with you
And the whole world changes because
I'm with you, I'm with you
Late, late nights smoking in whiskey-town
Parties when she's around
I come prepared
And I need to get out of this constant vice
I need to find my old life
The one without you
And the whole world changes because
I'm with you, I'm with you
And the whole world changes because
I'm with you, I'm with you

Never Meant To Be
05:21
|

Style and grace are such distractions
When raw purity is what I'm seeking
A slap in the face is much preferred to
Than a smile and a wink
That’ll never get through to me
'Cause you’re not who I’m meant to meet
And I was never meant for you
And you were never meant for me
La la la da da da...
Baby help me please
Find the meaning in the vast mystery of a woman
The strength behind the weak
The gentle whisper in the midst of screaming
From the lowest valley to the highest peak
Is where I’ll search until we meet
Is where I’ll stay for eternity
Until the mountains become the sea
La la la da da da...
You had my heart
But then you wanted my soul
You had it all
But then you wanted more
You wanted more
Ooo...
Style and grace

Welcome To Wonderland

Welcome to Wonderland
Welcome to Wonderland
You’re just a child, you have no fear
I’ve seen you growing all these years
You play the game, you want it all
I can’t believe you’re climbing up that wall
Welcome to Wonderland
Welcome to Wonderland
You need the key to help you find
The darker regions in your mind
You penetrate my living soul
Please take me as you’re sliding down that hole
Welcome to Wonderland
Welcome to Wonderland
To my Wonderland, my Wonderland, my Wonderland
Welcome to my Wonderland

Real
07:31

When your life’s made of the same routine ‘til your old
And you’re looking for purpose in a story that’s already been told
The models for living you leaned on seem for a bygone time
So you piece them together creating a meaning for life
You’ve made it real safe for yourself for a while.
And somehow believe they’ll believe you when you turn on a smile
A fool’s a man convinced he’s got it right.
Sure of his steps and decisions will turn out fine
Delusions of Heaven lead him to justify
Actions that time will surely make look cold
Make it, make it, make it ...real
Make it, make it, make it ...real
There’s no meaning for life in the field of time
It’s all made up, imagined, just to get by
Dreams for the weak and scared
For those who can’t live a purpose without a lie
Make it, make it, make it ...real
Make it, make it, make it ...real
