Messed Up World

Just a bunch of messed up people,
Spinning 'round a messed up world,
Going down, Down the drain,
In a swirl...
Just a bunch of little lies,
That we tell ourselves
It'll be alright, It'll be
...Alright
Just a bunch of messed up people
Spinning 'round a messed up world
Going down, Down the drain,
In a swirl...
Yeah, In a swirl...
Just a bunch of little ways,
That we hurt ourselves
It'll be just fine,
It'll be...
Just fine
Just a bunch of messed up people
Spinning 'round a messed up world
Going down, Down the drain
In a swirl...
Yeah, In a swirl...

Cursing at the Sky
02:21
|
|||
|
Cursing at the sky,
As it all comes crashing down
Need an answer as to why
Nothing I do seems to work out
Can't wait for another day
I've gotta go now...
No reason to stay
I've gotta get out
Cursing at the sky
As it all comes tumbling down
Let's have another try
Let's make our way somehow
Can't wait for another day
I've gotta go now...
Nothing left to say
I've gotta get out
Cursing at the sky...

Down The Road
02:42
|

If you play with fire, you're bound to get burned
Like every lesson I never learned
And if the house falls down, Just let it go
And move down the road, Someday you'll know...
We were born to die,
We walk a narrow line,
It's not a grand design,
We all fade with time...
If you see the light, open your eyes
If you're on your own and driving blind,
And if the (shit /ship) goes down, Just let it go
Move down the road, Someday you'll know
We were born to die,
We walk a narrow line,
It's not a grand design,
We all fade with time
Move down the road, Someday you'll know
Move down the road, Someday you'll know

The Man With No Name
02:51
|
|||
|
I have been
The man with no name
Shoot em' down
A hired gun to hide my shame
Still I lay my head down at night
I don't get no sleep, but I still try
They won't hear my voice
Even if I'm right
I have been
The man with no name
Like a lion
Roaming 'round the plains
Still I lay my head down at night
I don't get no sleep, but I still try
They won't hear my voice
Even if I'm right
Even if I'm right...

Hometown Stranger
02:50
|
|||
|
No one here even knows my name...
But they all take the time to laugh, as they pass me by
I'm the first one to show, Last one to know about it
But I seem to get shot down every time I try
I'm Not sticking around to see the show
How's it all gonna play out?
I don't wanna know
I've seen this town break a good man down...
I've seen all the ways they can tempt you and lead you astray
I've heard all the words and lines that they can dish out
The rumor mill's been backed up for sometime now
Not sticking around to see the show
Is anybody listening?
I swear I don't know
Oh, I don't know
No one here, even knows my name...

No One Can Hurt You
04:06
|
|||
|
No one can hurt you,
As much as you hurt yourself
No one can tear you down
More than you've already been
No one can hurt you
You're on top of the world
As long as you don't...
As long as you don't look down
No one can hurt you
As much you hurt yourself
No one can make you feel
Less than you already do
No one can hurt you
You're on top of the world
As long as you don't...
As long as you don't look down

Beggar's Deal
03:18
|
|||
|
Living in cheap hotels,
How far to outrun yourself?
And it's always
Someone else's fault
Said you made a beggar's deal
Sold your soul, for nothing real
And now you're alone
Doesn't feel like home
No, It doesn't feel like home
Living off of borrowed time
How long till you lose your mind?
But you know it's
No one else's fault
So you made a beggar's deal
Sold your soul, for nothing real
And now you're alone
Does it feel like home?
No, It just can't feel like home.
And I've been hungry
For this thing they call love
Oh, But it's never enough.

Broken Clocks
03:11
|
|||
|
Broken clocks lie on the floor
Littering the place that time...forgot
Down the hall... of memories
Please tell me that there's one I can believe
So just turn the clock face to the wall
I don't want to watch it anymore
And all the things that used to bother me
Well they don't seem to bother me at all...
Broken clocks lie on the floor
Frozen where the hands said stop
Down the hall of eternity
Waiting for the face to drop
So just turn the clock face to the wall
I don't want to watch it anymore
And all the things that used to bother me
Well they don't seem to bother me at all...

Exit Signs
03:27
|
|||
|
Rolling down the highway,
Last few exit signs from home
Down these quiet back roads
These white lines are all we know
And the band plays on into the night
And one man drives on...
One headlight, burning bright
(solo)
Rolling down the highway,
Last few exit signs from home
I hear my baby calling
Voice is fading on the road
And the band plays on into the night
And one man drives on...
One headlight, burning bright
Just a few last exit signs from home
How many more miles have I got to go?
How many more miles have I got to go?
How many more miles have I got to go...

Like I Always Do
04:24
|
|||
|
Thought I heard your voice,
In a far off dream
But it was just white noise,
Things are never what they seem...
Saw a candle burning,
but the flame, it disappeared
Just like all those nights,
I'd let you win again
And I came back home to you
Like I always do
Like I always do
We wrote our names in sand,
but the tide came in
Washed us/them away,
Just like all those times,
I'd wind up giving in
And I came back home to you,
Like I always do
Like I always do
Used to feel so strong,
But tonight I'm falling apart
Used to being alone,
Won't you hold me, in your arms?
And I'll come back home to you,
I'll come back home to you
Yeah, I'll keep coming home to you
Like I always do...
