Real World I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one And you can come and see them when I'm...done,when I'm done I wonder what it's like to be a superhero I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown From some other planet, I get this funky high on a yellow sun Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned (chorus) Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here? If I were someone else, would this all fall apart? Strange, where were you, when we started this gig? I wish the real world would just stop hassling me I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said I'd shout out an order, I think we're out of this man, get me some Boy don't make me wanna change my...tone, my tone Chorus Please don't change, please don't break The only thing that seems to work at all is you Please don't change, at all from me To you, and you to me Chorus 2. Long Day It's sitting by the overcoat The second shelf, the notes she wrote That I can't bring myself to throw away And also reach, she said for no one else but you Cuz you won't turn away When someone else is gone I'm sorry 'bout the attitude I need to give when I'm with you But no one else would take this shit from me And I'm so terrified of no one else but me I'm here all the time, I won't go away It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away It's me, and I can't get myself to go away Oh God, I shouldn't feel this way now (chorus) Reach down your hand in your pocket Pull out some hope for me It's been a long day, always ain't that right? And no, Lord, your hand won't stop it Just keep you trembling It's been a long day, always ain't that right? Well I'm surprised that you'd believe In anything that comes from me I didn't hear from you or from someone else And you're so set in life Man a pisser they waited Too damn bad you get so far so fast So what, so long Chorus 2x 3. 3 am She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat She's always worried 'bout things like that She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams, and her voice is straining (chorus) She says baby It's 3 am I must be lonely When she says baby Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes Says the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it She's got a little bit of something God, it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world she believes she's got it all She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining Chorus She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway But outside, it's stopped raining Chorus 4. Push She said I don't know if I've ever been good enough I'm a little bit rusty and I think my head is caving in And I don't know if I've ever been really loved By a hand that's touched me And I feel like something's gonna give And I'm a little bit angry, well This ain't over, no not here Not while I still need you around You don't owe me, we might change Yeah we just might feel good (chorus) I wanna push you around, I will, I will I wanna push you down, I will, I will I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, I will She said I don't know why you ever would lie to me Like I'm a little untrusting When I think that the truth is gonna hurt you And I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me You couldn't stand to be near me when my face don't seem to wanna shine Cuz it's a little bit dirty, well Don't just stand there Say nice things to me Cuz I've been cheated and I've been wronged and you You don't know me, I can't change I won't do anything at all Chorus Oh but don't bowl me over Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart things get so crazy, crazy Don't rush this baby Don't rush this baby, baby Chorus 5. Girl Like That You think this life would make me bolder But I'm running scared is all Well I hang on everything about you You'd think I'd settle down cuz I'm older But I roll with the change is all Well I'm same old trailer trash in new shoes She gets sad when there's nothing going on, yeah She says it makes her feel damn worthless (chorus 1) Well you got to think with a girl like that Any love at all, is better than nothing It's better than nothing I put my hands around your shoulder You're saying you're scared is all Well I think I know too much about you You'd think this life would make me colder I'd give into the alcohol I put my loving arms around you, child You knew damn well there was nothing going on Is that what makes you feel damn worthless? (chorus 2) Well you got to think with a girl like that Any love at all is better than nothing It's better than nothing You got to think, with a girl like that Any love at all, is better than nothing It's better than nothing Yeah she drags you down and she pulls you up, she pulls you up Says that she's sorry now, but it's not enough, to pull you up She's sorry I wake up quick just like I want to Yeah but I stay out much too late You think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays Down till the worth is gone And pulls you up, she pulls you up Yeah she pulls you up, and over, over Chorus 2 Chorus 1 6. Back 2 Good It's nothing, it's so normal You just stand there I could say so much I don't go there, cuz I don't want to I was thinking if you were lonely Maybe we could leave here and no one would know At least not to the point that we would think so Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else It's best if we all keep it under our heads I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do But I'm lonely now, and I don't know how To get it back to good This don't mean that you own me, well This ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell But things worked out just like you wanted too If you see me out you don't know me Try to turn your head, try to give me some room To figure out just what I'm going to do And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like they do It's best if we all keep this quiet instead And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like they do But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how To get it back to good Everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else Everyone here's to blame, everyone here Gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone here hides Shades of shame, but looking inside we're the same, we're the same We're all grown now, but we don't know how To get it back to good Everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking 'bout somebody else It's best if we all keep this under our heads I couldn't tell if anyone here was feeling the way I do But it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now, there's no getting back to good 7. Damn This old world well Don't it make you wanna think damn This cold girl well Don't she make you wanna scream damn What's the matter girl? Well don't you think I'm good enough? This old heart's had a whole lot of breaking down She's got all these reasons in her head (chorus 1) All that time she knew if I lied You can bet she will She's taking her time till I thought I would die And I can't sit still Things got turned around Don't know where I started from damn I can't eat, can't sleep coulda been a bigger man, damn What's the matter girl, well don't you think I'm bright enough? This old man had a hard time getting here You can leave your nummber at the door Chorus 1 (chorus 2)And there's nothing at all Yeah there's nothing at all Well there's nothing at all To make her change her mind This old house been quiet since you went away damn Mixed up, fixed out Don't forget who got you here damn What's the matter world? Don't you see I opened up? This whole part's been played by another man I pulled out the reason card instead Chorus 1 Chorus 2 Says she can find The things that make up a life I bet she will She stays behind, I could stay here all night I could stay here until Chorus 2 8. Argue She don't, but she will He says anything to keep her by him She takes what she gets And she never did flinch, no So over, and over anyone With any mind would think that's all she gets (chorus) If you want you can get to know me, well We get along so we shouldn't argue yeah And I don't know, said I don't know All these feelings, cloud up my reasoning, cloud up my reasoning I know, but I still Believe in ignorance as my best defense So go on, wreck me Funny how I carry on and not be taken Over, I will not roll over On anyone, cuz anyone would stand up on my side Chorus You know it's funny how sometimes It don't work out how you want to No you never get nothing at all Then she tells you that it's over Boy, don't you hate it when it's over I guess something just got lost And it deeply saddens me So over, and over, anyone, yeah anyone Chorus 9. Kody Kody sat down on the avenue He tapped his feet to the humming of the highway He watched the light shine down on the broken glass, and thought Well I don't got no reasons, yet There it is and there it was Now it was clear to all of us We kept this hat of broken dreams And we called them out When we needed them around (chorus)So please hand me the bottle I think I'm lonely now And please give me direction I think the hurt set in And I don't feel nothing There's a squeak hinge down on the back gate It lets us know if he comes around But I don't sleep that good anyway And if you've never heard that silence It's a God awful sound Chorus I don't feel nothing, I don't feel nothing, yeah I don't feel nothing There's nothing to feel good about here I don't much get down off to the avenue Well I could drive but it takes so much to get there I don't get off on all the broken glass, the cadillac scene Well, I've seen a lot of good things die and I'm In an overemotional way Chorus 2x 10. Busted I forget when words were only words She knows the party makes me nervous In this stage we can't get hurt Don't try to understand me We're too cool to be alone But not to crazy to get busted I found out one life just ain't enough I need another soul to feed on I'm the flame I can't get hurt I'm wholly understated We'll I found silence in this place, an on and off again attraction I need such amazing grace, heaven sweep me away (chorus)Love don't change, don't come around here Don't wear my heart on your sleeve Like a high school letter Don't strain cuz nothing ever comes from it And the people we've become They'll never be the people who we are I strapped on one horse and prayed for luck I dug another hole to bleed I know exactly how this works I need a new feel dirty I don't need you crowding up my space Well I just want to get inside you You can't believe the heart you save Giving something away Chorus I dreamed that the world was crumbling down We sat on my back porch and watched it I dreamed that the buildings all fell down We sat on my back porch and watched it Yeah, well I dreamed that the world was crumbling down We sat on my back porch and watched it In my head I heard the sound Like fifteen strangers dancing But oh, how I want you to know me Oh, how I want you to know me Oh, how I wish I were somebody else, baby Oh, how I wish you could own me Chorus 11.Shame What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone Past yourself, forget the light, things look dirty when it's on Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away And there's no one around you can remember being good to you (chorus)Shame, shouldn't try you Couldn't step by you And open up more shame, shame, shame What we lost here is something better left alone Second steps have been forgotten Will you tell me how they go? Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again There's no one around you can remember being good, for you so Chorus 2x We never thought we'd get so troubled We could never think that much It should never get this bad So let the wind blow you Across a big floor But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for Funny in a certain light how we all look the same And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood, for you, so Chorus 2x 12. Hang She grabs her magazines She packs her things and she goes She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall She burns all her notes, she knows She's been here too few years To feel this old He smokes his cigarette He stays outside till it's gone If anybody ever had a heart He wouldn't be alone He knows, she's been here too few years to be gone (chorus)And we always say It would be good, to go away, someday But if there's nothing there to make things change If it's the same for you, I'll just hang The trouble understand Is she got reasons he don't Funny how he couldn't see at all Till she grabbed up her coat And she goes, she's been here too few years, to take it all in stride But still it's much too long, to let hurt go Chorus 2x |
