"$200 Tattoo"
"$200 Tattoo"
It was late, had some drinks
It was only our second date
She looked good, real, real good
I wanted to do what I could
I'm not one to jump in the pond without checking
How deep the water may be
But I knew this was it, we each said to get
A $200 Tattoo
It hurt a little, hell, it hurt a lot
But a man who won't commit is something I'm not
A little tear rolled down her face
When it was done we went back to her place
I'm not one to jump in the pond without checking
How deep the water may be
But I knew she's the one, and I'm telling you, son
I got a $200 Tattoo, she did too
A $200 Tattoo

"3 Speed"
"3 Speed"
Got a 3 speed and banana seat
Sitting back on the sissy bar
Went to sev and got a drink
Wish i was driving in daddy's car
And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Riding down on springhill road
Meeting alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquito's bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good
And i looked into the mirror last night
All i saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Life is funny
But not ha ha funny
Peculiar i guess
You think i got it all going my way
Then why am i such a fucking mess?
Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown
Kneel down and bow to the princess
Kneel down for the queen of the town
And i looked up at the sky last night
And i thought i saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on

"A Daisy Through Concrete"
"A Daisy Through Concrete"
Wake up the dying
Don't wake up the dead
Change what you're saying
Don't change what you said
Now that it's time that
I got out of bed
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Pink and brown babies in pink stroller cars
Know that it's good
They don't care where they are
They know that home doesn't feel very far
When i walk myself down sycamore street
The sun beats down
No shoes on my feet
And i stumble on a daisy through concrete
Airplane is flying up in the sky
Making a pattern with the white lines
Looks like a heart
Or maybe a pie

"A Good Deal"
"A Good Deal"
My plan to play it cool
Has not been going well
I have such a hard time
Keeping the anger hidden
I've run it through my head
A dozen times or more
And each time it ends with me
Not acting as I did
A grievous oversight that I cannot erase
You couldn't know where to take it to
And none of it matters now
However I appeal
All of it's gone
I've missed a good deal
You disappointed me
In ways I cannot count
But you were the best thing
To happen to me
And that is no reason to
Forget all that you've done
I couldn't expect you to
Give credence to my plea
A grievous oversight that I cannot erase
You couldn't know where to take it to
And none of it matters now
However I may feel
All of it's gone
I've missed a good deal
An effortless beauty I had not come across
It's a heavy loss
And now it's my cross to bear forever more
I can be sure
And nothing else matters now
Whatever I reveal
All of it's gone
I've missed a good deal

"A Line In The Dirt"
"A Line In The Dirt"
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I am pissing in the yard
I have to laugh when I think how far it's gone
But things aren't funny any more
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
So I am knocking on the door again
I say, "Do you want to be alone?"
She says, "No I don't wanna be alone
But I think that you do
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did
And I know she's right, I know how it would be
If I had my own way with the world
As I know it should be
She locked herself in the bathroom again
So I've been shutting down the lights
And I don't know if I'll ever go back again
I'm drivin' straight into the night
I drew a line into the dirt
And dared her to step right across it
And she did

"A Swallow In The Sun"
"A Swallow In The Sun"
My love, let me bring
Everything your heart desires
Everything you'll ever need
When you rise
When you retire
Sweet thing, oh my word
Such a very pretty sight
As a swallow in the sun
As a sparrow in the night
My love, can you not feel it
I don't know how to let you go on
A swallow in the sun
A sparrow in the night
All alone
Dear heart, if I may
You are beauty of the earth
You are broken like a glass
You don't know what you are worth
My love, can you not feel it
I don't know how to let you go on
A swallow in the sun
A sparrow in the night
All alone

"Accident Prone"
"Accident Prone"
A happy accident,
Me running into you
Was off of my beaten path
God lost from my crew.
Out of my element
Lost hold of the wheel
I didn't anticipate
A pleasant ordeal.
I was getting tired of
Always being alone
Good thing that I've always been so
Accident prone.
What made me go that way
Well I really don't know
Who do I have to thank?
To what do I owe?
I was feeling so bereft
All my chances blown
Good think that I've always been so
Accident prone.

"Agatha Chang"
"Agatha Chang"
Agatha was beautiful
Her long black hair and aching eyes
Even when she didn't feel so good she looked alright
She always had a smile
And it was good for a while
I wouldn't answer each time the phone rang
But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang
Agatha, she wasn't mean
She didn't cheat, she never lied
Even if she disagreed with you it wasn't a fight
Made you feel like you're both right
But then I lost sight
I couldn't bear to break up my old gang
But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang
What was so important then?
I haven't a clue
How could I have been so blind and cruel?
Agatha, where did you go?
Do I have the slightest chance
I could make up for everything that I did wrong?
But I know it's just a song
And you're probably long gone
Forgot all about her
Each night that I sang
But I should have stayed with Agatha Chang

"Agony"
"Agony"
Am i gonna be all right?
No i'm not gonna be all right
Nothing is all right now
Am i gonna see the sun come up?
Or am i going down?
'cause every day i'm here
All i feel is sheer
Agony
Friends tellin' me that maybe i need
Some psychiatric help
Yeah they're always so quick to tell you
Just how to get on with it
But i look into the mirror
And all i see is age, fear
And agony
If i could just remember what it was like
When i was younger
Before all the joy and happiness
Was replaced with hunger
Now all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow
Is agony
