Lyrics

Fine place for a day full of breakdowns-

Takes more than a meltdown to show us how-

Throw a ta(c)k on the road, stop the meatplow-

Got a bullet but it ain't mine.

They got these pictures of everything-

To break us down, yeah to break me down-

They make us hate and we make it bleed.

But I got a lover and yeah

She shows me how,

To understand it, yeah to understand

I got a brother and well

He shows me how,

To make amends, yeah to make amends with it.

Take a break from the mousetrap we call home-

Takes more than a message to make me smile-

I can feel when she kisses me sleeping-

But not when the news is on.

Lyrics

One time a thing occured to me

What's real and what's for sale?

Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

Isn't you, isn't me

Search for things that you can't see

Going blind, out of reach

Somewhere in the vasoline

Two times and it has rendered me

Punch drunk and without bail

Think I'd be safer all alone

Flies in the vasoline we are

Sometimes it blows my mind

Keep getting stuck here all the time

(chorus)

You'll see the look and you'll see the lies

You'll eat the lies, and you will.

Lyrics

It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me

Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me

The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me

I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me

Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me

My bottle's empty but you always refuel me

I feel I'm sinking but you won't let me drown me

I wanna f@(*, wanna f@(* but do you need me?

I can't give what I take away, and the other understands

She said she'd be my woman, she said she be my man

I can't live this way

Please refill my soul

Said she'd be my woman...she said she'd be my woman, said she'd be my man

Lyrics (some of my favorite!)

(intro, followed by riff a)

Waiting, on a Sunday afternoon,

For what I read between the lines-your lies.

Feeling, like a hand in rusted shame,

So do you laugh or does it cry?

Reply.

(riff a)

Leaving on a Southern train

Only yesterday you lied,

Promises of what I seemed to be

Only watched the time go by,

All of these things you said to me.

(riff a)

Breathing, is the hardest thing to do,

With all I've said and all that's dead for you,

You lied-Goodbye.

(chorus)

Lyrics

Driving faster in my car

Falling farther from just what we are

Smoke a cigarette and lie some more

These conversations kill

Falling faster in my car

Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden

Time to take a ride, it leaves today, no conversation

Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden

Time to wait too long, to wait too long, to wait too long

Too much walking, shoes worn thin

Too much trippin', and my soul's worn thin

Time to catch a ride, it leaves today, her name is what it means

Too much walking, shoes worn thin

(chorus)

Conversations kill, Conversations kill...

Lyrics

(intro)

Moderation is masturbation

What is what and what makes you feel good

All these things I think about

I think about-

Always come unglued

Yeah-I got this thing it's coming over me

I got this thing that's coming over me

I got this feeling comin over me, over me-yeah

(intro)

This confusion is my illusion

Nowhere to look, but know where to find you

All these things I'm sick about, I'm sick about-

Always come unglued

Intro (side note: IMHO, this is one of the coolest guitar tones on the album.

Dean used a Vox Mando guitar [made in the 60's, this 12

string's neck starts at the 12th fret of a normal guitar]

and a liberal dose of phaser...so everyone, pull out yer

phasers and apply them heavily!)

Lyrics

You don't look but you kick me

You can't feel but you hit me

You can't live with the way I pray

Why do we all have to look this way

I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain

Time, time is not on my side

Cause the way I am

Gotta gotta find the reason why

A woman ain't a man

You don't look but you kick me

You can't feel but you hit me

You can't deal with the way I pray

Why do you all have to think this way

I gotta heart, I got blood, feel pain

Fall in those single file lines

Like army ants

Yeah, fall on into those single file lines

And complete the plan

Somebody told me. I know where to go.

Somebody showed me. I was last to know.

Sell me down the river.

Sell me down the river.

What I wanted is what she wanted

Unfriendly feelings, down on wounded knee

Unfriendly reasons, some blind mother's need.
