"Permanent Broken Heart"

"Permanent Broken Heart"

I walked by your window
To see if you're home
The candle was burning
I could see you weren't alone
I shouldn't have gone by
But what could i do
I've never known anyone
Who was quite like you

Life ain't very easy when you've got
A permanent broken heart

I walk down the dirty street
And see the old man
But now he seems different
I think i understand
Well maybe he had a love
And swore it was true
But then he blew it away
Just like i lost you

Life ain't very easy when you've got
A permanent broken heart

I'm looking out my window
There's not much of a view
And my hat is still quite blue

Maybe i'll move away
To some other town
And maybe i'll find that thing
I've never found

"Pray"

"Pray"

Never much of a hopeful man
Nothing good to say
But i couldn't help it
When i saw her
I had to know her

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray

And soon i know her a little more
She's everything i dreamed
But still i wonder
What it would be like
If she let me

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good i can be
Or how much i can pray

There must be something
That's following her
That keeps her from the stay
There must be something
That makes me want to pray

She says she's alright
But she's not sure
And i'm not sure what that means
She says she's alright
But she needs some help
I don't know how

"Rags To Rags"

"Rags To Rags"

There's a spider crawling on the bathroom mirror
Right on top of my right eye
And i can't stop staring back
How did i get this way?
Take a big look at a living lie

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to riches was a bust

Sometimes i dream about it
What it's like back home
The railroad tracks and the pussy willow
But i had to leave it
Now i go back
Whenever my tired head hits the pillow

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to riches was a bust

Busted once again
Well i'll show them one day
That i can buy and sell the world

And one day i'll come through my american dream
But it won't mean a fucking thing

Rags to rags and rust to rust
How do you stand when you've been crushed?
So rags to rags and rust to rust
Don't let me go

"Railroad Man"

"Railroad Man"

Feel like an old railroad man
Ridin' out on the bluemont line
Hummin' along old dominion blues
Not much to see and not much left to lose
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back

I feel like an old railroad man
Who's really tried the best that he can
To make his life add up to something good
But this engine no longer burns on wood
And i guess i may never understand
The times that i live in
Are not made for a railroad man

I feel like an old railroad man
Getting on board at the end of an age
The station's empty and the whistle blows
Things are faster now
And this train is just too slow
And i know i can walk along the tracks
It may take a little longer but i'll know
How to find my way back

"Restraining Order Blues"

"Restraining Order Blues"

Life goes on
Nothing is new
Judge made it clear
I can't be near you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man
Just someone who knows he's in love

I made mistakes
Everyone does
Don't know why i did
I guess just because
No one gets through to me the way that you do
Now i know i'm in love

Baby it's a little much
To never touch you
When i know i'll never
Find another love like this

Life goes on
Nothing is new
Passing the days
Thinking 'bout you
Everybody knows that I'm not a violent man
Just someone who knows he's in love

"Rock Hard Times"

"Rock Hard Times"

They told me that i couldn't come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool
Said i was doing things that never should be done
But i don't care about their rules

As if i cared 'bout the little minds
In the little heads of the herd
There's nothing you could dream
Would be more absurd

And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

I don't know what it is they're trying to do to me
Make me into some sick joke
But no one's laughing
And least of all not me
It's hard to laugh as you choke

Hollywood lies piled up to the sky
Floating your way soon
Hope you like the rotten stench of doom

And everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times

I don't know what it is they think i'm gonna try
They don't know what they need to fear
The surest sign that the end is coming soon
Is right there in the bathroom mirror

Everybody knows these are rock hard times
I gotta make it through
These are rock hard times
These are rock hard times

"Rotten World Blues"

"Rotten World Blues"

Well i went walking
Out yesterday
A man was carrying a sign that says
"the world is gonna end tomorrow"
Hey buddy, got a nickel i can borrow?

This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

Ol' miss headtrip
She's gettin' down
You don't see her much walking 'round town
Well you could say that she needs a little lovin'
Looking for a light with her head in the oven

This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

Miss kovaleva
She's lookin' good
Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood
She knows something that you don't know
Something she learned about a long time ago

This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out
The sooner you recognize this simple fact
Then this rotten world gives you what you lack

This rotten world's gonna chew you up
Swallow you whole and then spit you back out

"Royal Pain"

"Royal Pain"

I got some sleep and I needed it
Not a lot, just a little bit
Someone's always tryin' to keep me from it

It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

Ask me any question and I'll level with you
I didn't ask but anything but bein' with you
That's the only thing I was born to do

And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

Another day is put to the test
Lord knows I'm doin' my best
Never a brother, always a guest

It's a cryin' shame
It's a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride a little bit intact

And they're all insane
Such a royal pain in the neck
I'm just tryin' to get by
With my pride just a little bit intact

"Sad Foot Sign"

"Sad Foot Sign"

Sad foot sign
Why you gotta taunt me this way
The happy side is broken now
It's gonna be an awful day
And if i have to drive back by
To see from a different side
Would it be enough to say
The first time was a lie

Sad foot sign
The end is coming
That's what they say
Maybe you could see it
In your heart for one day
To let me feel what it's about
To really be alive
To live and breathe and see and feel
Then i can die

And when i come back to this world
I'll put on the uniform
And go into the foot sign shop
Where you were born
