"Drunk Again"

Kathy please just go away
Don't let Hazel see you when you're high
Just take a walk to your sleazy bar
Come back after I've come down
Cross the street
On your knees
Makes me ashamed
It's hard to sleep
I can't shake your pain
You get high, you'd just throw it away
Hey Kathy please give me a break
I told you not to come here when you're drunk again
I'm sober now just 30 days
All alone and working hard to stay that way
Cross the street
On your knees
Makes it hard
It's hard to see
I can't shake your pain
You get high, you'd just throw it away
Kathy please, yeah yeah
I don't want to see you when you're down
Just leave me be and go away
You're not going to pull me down
I won't let you throw it away

"1975"

Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face
All up against the glass
Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn
Swing and missing all
Almost every time
Yeah, almost every time
Brawling scratches mean a bad hair day
Go on and press your face
All up against the glass
Watch and wonder as the pretty things spin and burn
Swing and missing all
Almost every time
I'm not alive, 1975
I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind
I'm not alive, 1975
Yeah, 1975
I see scratches and the idiot kids
I watched them getting high
Out in the cold blue sky
Watch and wonder as the asphalt babies burned
Dancing in the flame, laughing all of the while
I'm not alive, 1975
I'd spend my time wasted, dull, damaged, and blind
I'm not alive, 1975
Watch and wonder as they fade away
Dull, damaged, and blind
Sounds a lot like me
Dull, damaged, and blind
Yeah, almost all of the time
Dull, damaged, and blind
Whoa, 1975
I'm not alive, 1975
I was not alive, 1975
I'd spend all my time wasted dull, damaged, and blind
1975
Watch and wonder as they fade away

"American Girl"

She was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
She could hear the cars roll by
Out on four forty one like waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
She crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach

"Blondes"

You are a loser just like I was
You are a loser like the rest of your friends
You're a loser in the worst way
I think you're losing just to make up
Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face
I see you dying in the highway
I see you climbing up the hill
I see your sunshine on your blonde hair
I see you worshipping the thrill
Yeah I've seen the light
All around your face
Yeah I've seen the light
Shine in your eyes
Yeah I've seen the light
Light from another place
Now I know its not real
Yes I know it's not real
Yes I know it's not
Yeah I've seen the light
From another place
Now I know it's not real

"Connection"

All I want to do is get back to you
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
Everything is going in the wrong direction
The doctor wants to give me more injections
Giving me shots for a thousand rare infections
And I don't know if he'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you
My bags they get a very close inspection
I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em
They're dying to add me to their collection
I don't know if they'll let me go
Connection, I just can't make no connection
But all I want to do is to get back to you

"Deep In, Empty Out"

Yeah I hear the hum in my ear
It keeps me awake sometimes
I can deal with most everything
I'm out of my mind
When you're out of my side
I would give everything
Deep in and empty out
I would give everything you want
Everything you need
Why can't you talk to me
I hear your voice everywhere else
Oh, why do you have to be
Slumped and drunk
Just to say I am your friend
I'd give you everything
Yeah, I'm deep in and empty out
Oh, I would give everything you want
Everything you need
Everything means nothing to me
I remember now
You, not me
I remember now
You fail
Yeah, I remember now
You, not me
I remember everything, everything
Yeah, yeah
I remember everything, everything
I would give everything
Yeah, deep in and empty out
I would give everything you want
Anything to you
Everything means nothing
Yeah, everything means nothing
Yeah, everything means nothing to me
It's true
My everything means nothing to you
It's true

"Detroit"

I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend
All bright-eyed and happy in pain
I am dreaming of a Michigan girl
See her come around
Fall down, break & scatter everywhere
I close my eyes and I can see her waiting
I am pleading for a Michigan dream girl
I am pleading for a Michigan girl
See her come around
Big lie wrapped inside her little glove
I close my eyes and I can see her waiting patient for me
I cover my ears
I clear my mind
She starts to fade
I am dreaming of a Michigan girlfriend
She's starting to fade
I am dreaming of a Michigan girl
I close my eyes
I see her waiting oh so patient for me
I cover my ears
I close my mind
She's starting to fade

"Don't Change"

I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Yeah, things have been dark for too long
I don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Yeah, don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness
Message received loud and clear
I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Yeah, things have been dark for too long

"The Swing"

Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I've done to you
Never said I was anything good
I should die from the shame from what I put you through
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
You know I just wanna help you forget
We are still living on broken glass
We are still numb because it just keeps happening
All your friends, they can kiss my ass
They only see the simple things that they wanna see
Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay
You don't have to like it but the swing is in my hands now
Sometimes I think
The power is better than a hard drug
Sometimes I think
The power is better than anything
Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think I wanna do is die inside
All I wanna do is die inside
All I ever think about is you and me falling apart
Never said I was innocent
I will burn in Hell for the things I have done to you
Never said I was anything good
Na na na na
Let me be the one to make the pain go away
Shave my skin and show a brand new face
You know I just wanna know that you're okay
Let me be the one to bring us back from the dead
I will take the blame for everything
I just wanna help you forget
Sometimes I think
Letting go is just like giving up
Sometimes all I think about is falling apart

"For Pete's Sake"

We had a mutual friend and he said
You've been talking again
I'm not responsible for your life falling apart
I'm not responsible
You and me could have been the best friends
That we'd never had
You've done everything that you could to damage me, damage me
I'm walking away
I'm closing my eyes
I'm letting it go, letting it go
Hey I'm telling you now
I'm drawing the line
Don't say it again
Just keep it inside
It happened to me, in love with the same girl
Nobody's fault, yeah nobody's fault
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Yeah keep it in
You and me could have been the best friends
But we'd never had the best friends
I'm walking away, letting it go
I'm closing my eyes
I'm telling you now
I'm lonely again, just keep it inside
Hey, it happened to me, in love with the same girl
It happened to me, me over you
Hey maybe for the first time act like a grown man
Keep it in
Yeah keep it in
