I
Got Id (Shit)
My
lips are shakin', my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've heard myself talk
All the advantage this life's got on me
Picture a cup in the middle of the sea
And I fight back in my mind
Never let's me be right, oh
I got memories, I got shit
So much it don't show
I walked the line
When you held me in that night
I walked the line
When you held my hand that night
An empty shell seems so easy to crack
Got all these questions, don't know who I could even
ask
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
And I'll stay in a bed
Oh, goodbye, I've seen him
If just once, I could feel loved
Oh, stare back at me, yeah
But I walked the line
When you held me in that night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand that night
Oh, I walked the line
Whne you held me close at night
I paid the price, never held you in real life
I've
Got a Feeling
I've
got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside, oh yeah
I've got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide...oh no
no...whoa no
Yeah, yeah, I got a feelin', yeah
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the
train...oh yeah
Ooh, and if you leave me, I won't be late again, no
no no, oh no
Yeah, I've got a feelin', yeah...whew...ooh...oh
yeah
And I don't understand, how come nobody told me?
Why I'd want to sing like Milli Vanilli
All I ever wanted was someone who looked like
you...you...oh
I got a feelin', that keeps me on my toes, oh yeah,
yeah, oh yeah
Uh huh, I got a feelin', I think that everybody
knows, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, wow, I got a feelin', yeah...whoa
Everybody had a good year, though we never saw the
sunshine
Everybody had a wet dream, making Temple was a good
time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody made a movie, everybody had one line
Everybody misses Andy, we'll be seein' him in no
time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Ooh yeah, I got a feelin', yeah...oh
I got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside, oh yeah
Ooh, I got a feelin', a feelin' i can't hide, oh no
no, oh no
Yeah...I got a feelin',
yeah...yeah...ah...ooh...yeah
Just
a Girl
Theives
in the window
Trouble down to the heart
The resin white ceiling
Blood, dripping, flows
Out on the front line
Preachers sweep the earth
Out on their backsides
With nothing in common, with no problem
She's just a girl
Just...just a girl, yeah
Just one time around
She has little chance to make good
Distance of her lie
Decided in the woods
Burning fires
She's led to police
This maid in progress
Betrayin' your mother's need for a shelter
Oh, just a girl
Just a girl
Just one time around
She had little chance to make good
Treats them now, she's young
But it can be taken away
Just one time around...can be taken away
We all make mistakes
Hush my baby...don't you cry
You're my little alibi
Oh baby, please...I need some sleep
Hmm, now be taken
You with me
Just a girl
Just a kid, yeah
The
Kids Are Alright
I
don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright
The kids are alright
Last
Kiss
Oh
where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road strait up ahead
A car was stalled the engine was dead
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screaming tires the busting glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up the rain was pouring down
There were people standing all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head see looked at me and said
Hold me darling just a little while
I held her close I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight
I lost my love my life that night
Oh where oh where can my baby be
The lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Leatherman
I
heard about a man to whom I may be related
He's leatherman
Died a long time ago in the 1880's
Leatherman
Covered with leather but it wasn't tight
Underneath a moon in the woods at night
Making the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd
say
Here he comes he's a man of the land
He's leatherman
Smile on his face axe in his pack
He's leatherman leatherman leatherman
Comes out of the caves once a day to be fed
He wasn't known to stay much but thanks for the
bread
So modern day I walk my way with my jacket faded
Just like a man of leather whom I may be related
Old cigarette for which he'd ask for a light
A fear beaten animal yet so polite
Making the rounds ten miles a day
Once a month they'd spot him and here's what they'd
say
Here he comes he's a man of the land
He's leatherman
Leatherman
Shake his hand he's leatherman
Bake some bread he's leatherman
Shame he's dead I saw his bed
It's all that's left of
Leatherman

Me Sleep
Cold
wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins

My Fire
You
know that I won't be untrue
You know that I won't be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much
higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in th mire
Try now, we could only lose
And our love become a funeral parlor
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you, girl we couldn't get much
higher...yeah
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Live
For Today
You
had this bright idea one late summer night
Candy-coated popcorn strung like a beaded curtain
hung over your door
I guess the heat got to it, dripped and melted all
over the floor
Chocolate-covered cherries in tin foil boats float
around the
floorboard
I had to laugh not to cry
Now all your possessions, all of your things, all of
your
hopes, schemes, desires, all of your dreams
All gone away.
"Live for today", you said, "live for
today"
I had to laugh not to cry
Long
Road
And I
wished for so long, cannot stay
All the precious moments, cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay
But still something's missing, cannot say, yeah
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths just falling down
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay
There's no need to say goodbye
All the friends and family
All the memories going round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roaring
And the sky keeps turning gray
And the sun is set
The sun will rise another day
Ahh...yeah
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road?
We all walk the long road
Love
You, Hate You
Doctor
said I, I'd be alright
Oh, everything that I believed, it wasn't true
I found it out when I got close to you
I thought you were different, like a dream
Things they ain't never what they seem, whoa
Thought I could trust you with my soul
But you can't do that anymore
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still feel
blue
The doctor said I'd be alright, but I still love you
Love you, hate you...love you, want you...hate you
I'm different
Me myself, I'm different than all the rest
I can only speak for myself, but people can trust me
