"Trust In Trust"

"Trust In Trust"



Set your sights on my corner of time
I hear truth but I just speak the rhyme
Fear knows no one if he hasn't met me
I got to know him well and only now do I see

You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide
You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride
The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say
And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way
Blame yourself, blame the way you were raised
And if you need to blame, you could blame your own rage
Or you could trust yourself and trust others too
And trust your trust in trust and then they'll trust you
You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide
You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride
The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say
And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way

A radical concept I know I'm laying down
But try it just once and take one more look around
I spoke not in haste till I said to my fear
"One of us must go, and look, I'm still here"
You can run where you wanna run when you wanna hide
You feel like you are driving but you just took a ride
The truth shall set you free is what I hear them say
And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way

And to my sweet surprise it does work out that way
And to my sweet surprise

"Unable To Get Free"

"Unable To Get Free"



You asked me if I live without her
I choke on my reply
Let the blind man at the mirror spin his lie

And I'm damned if I don't try
Damned if I don't try
But no matter what I say
It doesn't go
Away at all and I'm still unable to get free

And I've been afraid
Of a convenience that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free

With cork and wax I try my best
To spackle in the hole
The inevitable aging of my soul

And my heart it gets so tired
It's my heart and it gets so tired
It's just a trace to track the pain
The beat that I
Sustain for hoping and I am still unable to get free

And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free

...I see connections
...In my contention
...That I could see redemption
Through the bars
Of this cage...

And I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
For accepting sight unseen
So desperately I
Dream of some day when I won't be unable to get free

And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to accept this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free

And I've never been afraid
Of a consequence that I could have made
But having to admit this one has me
And so the tiger's got his toe
And the only way to holler is by letting go
Still unable to get free

"Warmer Days"

"Warmer Days"



When people think of holidays
They think of cold weather
"Let's spend this frozen wonderland together"

Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

Well, frozen fingers, frozen toes
Topped with a frozen stare
Numb your heart, and you numb your mind
Pretend that you don't care

Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

Well say what you want about Santa Claus
Go on ahead, do your thing
And solace yourself in your righteous cause
While you're holding out for spring

Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

When you were young, you walked to school
Uphill both ways in freezing rain
And when I'm frozen in solid ice
How dare I even complain

Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days

"What Could Possibly Go Wrong"

"What Could Possibly Go Wrong"



I turn around and suddenly there's a danger
Yet another close call that I couldn't quite see
And I will admit that I am no stranger
To such a very similar controversy
It seems that I lack a sense of self-preservation
Along with an abundance of a need for a thrill
And that could make the deadliest of combinations
If I don't keep totally and quietly still

But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong

Bartender won't you pour me a gin or a vodka
Deal me up bump or some x or some tea
Bet it all on black so if it's red I get nada
And I'll buy the pleasure of her company

But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong

So if you're crossing the street you be careful
If it's cold and flu season you run and you hide
Do what your mom or boss or doctor all tell you
And if you're in school or prison just open wide

But tonight I've got to move
Ain't got a thing to prove
Besides, when you've lasted this long
What could possibly go wrong

"What Remains"

"What Remains"



Sway with me for one more dance
And holding me closely meet my eyes
And I would ask for nothing more
I'm asking for another chance
To my own infinite surprise
I've never moved like this before

It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I'll not betray
What time can't heal or kill

A single instant of reprieve
I am no longer resembling
The man I was, I'm the man you see
Try to exhale in my relief
But I am also trembling
You brought the best hope out of me

It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill

Gently I stumble
To the music as it strums
The heavens all crumble
'Neath this moment we've become
My heart keeps calling me
Closer and stalling me
Catch me I'm falling
Though the dancing's long since done

If I'm in trouble; if I'm alone
If I'm a runaway, don't send me home
I want to be with you
If I saw you now would nothing change
Tell me to grow up or act my age
Like I always do
Maybe surrender another chance
Or only just give me one more dance

It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill

It only remains to say I love you
And I suppose I always will
And though I walk away
As I replay my better days
I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill

I will not betray
What time can't heal or kill

"What's For Breakfast"

"What's For Breakfast"



Well here I am
In a roadside stew
You're checking to see if I'm alright
I'm looking up at you
Well I'm okay
I've been here before
You know I have an ass to land on
And that's what it's for

I'm gonna dust me off
Get on my feet
Get myself together
Get me good to eat
Well what a night
I don't remember much
Not to worry my friend
I'm better off as such

Well what a day and what's for breakfast?
Have to see what comes along
What a day and what's for breakfast?
Nothing ventured, nothing wrong
Nothing wrong

Well what a day and what's for breakfast?
Have to see what comes along
What a day and what's for breakfast?
Nothing ventured, nothing wrong
Nothing wrong

"Whoops"

"Whoops"



Have you ever seen an atom
Little bits of everything floating by
Take a good look at them
Collectively they compose all you see including your eye

Brilliant puzzle
A living Rubix Cube we think we can figure out and solve
But we're just monkeys
Scratching our heads trying to open our ears
To a chord that just won't seem to resolve

And we call it wisdom
Yes intellect in our truest sense of the word
You see for us security means a harmony
According to only what we have heard
And this along and nothing less
Will ease our heart and our mind
In the hopes that in feeling free we'll reach paradise
On that hilltop we're still trying to find

But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem
That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream
The earth was our heaven and we didn't know there were rules for us to break
And maybe now we'll find out too late what a clever hell we can make

Whoops
Whoops

In this corner
Weighing in at almost every weight imaginable...
Life, and all that surrounds it
And in this corner
Weighing in at well, not really very much of anything;
A very sound and user friendly idea
On finally bringing that pesky mountain to Mohammed
Gentlemen at the sound of the harmonica solo you may come out fighting

Take a look at the horizon
Quiet and still
You know there used to be bison
Gentlemen you may fire at will
They say this land won't go to waste
But you gotta wonder how
You know we're chopping down the air we breathe
As fodder for the cow

That's right so we can eat well
Yes and starve to death
And say there's nothing we can do
Because we really don't want to do a goddamn thing
Look I'm shrugging and so are you
We can imagine the straightest of lines
But our fingers can't control the pen
And it's this frustration that yields relief
As we say we're just mortal men
And that means we get to torture a chimpanze
And infect him with disease
Because he screams just like a human child
While we study his desperate pleas

But the possibility exists no matter how scary it may seem
That paradise was once the world and it wasn't just a dream
The earth was our heaven and we didn't know there were rules for us to break
And maybe now we'll find out too late what a clever hell we can make

Whoops
Whoops

While we're on the subject you know my conscience hurts
And it will not go away
So please concoct me some pill I can take
While I think of something clever to say
So I can look in my mirror made of polished glass
And find no need to cringe
And forget that sinking feeling I'm a dinosaur
Out on his drunken last binge

...from fossil to fossil
Dust to dust
I'll see you all in the earthy crust

Whoops
Whoops

"You Can't Stop Thinking About Me"

"You Can't Stop Thinking About Me"



The kiddie ride just keeps turning round and round
At first never failing to amuse
We grow tired and dismount

Houses made of cards leave no debris when burning to the ground
But alas people leave slews of residues
Too residual to count

And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me

When you wake in the morning for a second you'll wonder if I'm there
Issue your final warning by noon
Reassert that you don't care

And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me

Don't think I don't believe you for I know that feeling all too well
But sometimes in our best desires come secrets
We may never tell

And there's no known preparation for this kind of a thing
And it don't much matter what kind of game you bring
You can take excursions around the world
From the mountains to the sea
You're coming back to the same dilemma
You can't stop thinking about me

Go ahead and try

"You Don't Have To Love Me"

"You Don't Have To Love Me"



The world is coming to an end; it's gonna fall into the sea
The ice caps are all melting but you're still mad at me
And all your reservations will be washed upon the sand
But you don't have to love me

Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man

Life in the Big Easy will probably never be that way
Sweet Lucinda Williams takes the glory over the fame
But you and I, we're dreamers; they're gonna catch us in the end
But you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man

If you don't love me
You don't have to explain
If you don't want me
We'll just play this little game
With everything that's going wrong
Each day could be our last
You don't have to love me
You don't have to love me
But tonight I'll be your man

But you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Tonight I'll be your man
Yeah you don't have to love me
Cause tonight I'll be your man

Tonight I'll be your man

"You Lost Me There"

"You Lost Me There"



I've been hoping for some last stand
To bank everything on one heroic play
But when you're waiting for your big chance
I've come to learn that it don't go down that way
And I'm not talking about no free ride
I've stood by and I've watched them fade to dust
Its not for high ideals
'Cause you know I've tried
At some point I think everybody must

And you lost me there
What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
And I don't care
I can't get over and I can't get in

I wish that I could feel so free and wise
As to satisfy the justice that I crave
The sun will set again, the sun will rise
In the darkness I will have to try to be brave

And you lost me there
What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
And I don't care
I can't get over and I can't get in

In loving faith I know a time will come
When day and night, both, you and I will see
If thats just a prayer, that thy will be done
Thats just the way I wanted it to be

And you lost me there
What's the point of playing if you're trying to win
And I don't care
I can't get over when I can't get in
