"Freaks"

"Freaks"


Make ure chillin
guts start spillin
its piece of a puzzle
piece of a trouble
is it somethin else?
ure sellin yourself
Im so wanting
without a clue
gotta find something better
something better to do
something so exciting
Im into something new
you piece together the whole thing
gives u something to use

maybe I should practice it one more time
maybe Im afraid what it might do
maybe it might upset someone
maybe that's what its supposed to do

pull it from the bottom
it begins to change
find another existance
thats what ure trying to say?

Im not pushin u out
Im not pushin u off
Im not pushin u out
Im not pushin u

All of the lands are terribly restless
with tellin u what to do
but u go bak to the land
where ure defensless
they act just like me and u

look what u've dont to me
look what I've done to u
look what they've done to us
now were like noone else
theyre laughin at u
talkin about u
all these new things
all these new things
I found in use

and Im workin so hard
when I think it is real
everybody does once
just to see how it feels
its not a sensation
and its not for sale
so what can u call it now?

keep em gotten
theyll spoil u rotten
keep em gotten
keep em gotten
just another freak
be another freak
be a freak

"Freeway"

"Freeway"


Wanna see you in my rearview mirror
Out on the freeway freeway
Nobody said it would be easy
Freeway freeway
Take me back to
I can't change the time and
I can't change your mind
But I gotta find a freeway
You're on my way
On my way

Leeway I need a little leeway
Got to get some space around and ??
Leeway leeway
Make the best of nothing left for me
I can't find the time
Gotta see what I can find

Out on the freeway
You're on my way
On my way

I'm not talking

Someday someday
I ain't waiting around for someday
Someday someday
I'm gonna get away from all this someday
I can't change the time and
I can't change your mind
You're on my way
On my way

"Friends"

"Friends"


Well I've been distressed, via pressed, tossed in white cement
Handin'in to buy the bottle where you can't hardly ever win
And I see you walkin' on the street, and you look so all alone
Well, I could be your mystery, but you can't take me home

Don't you need someone to call
I ain't afraid to fall
I can't face myself alone
I need a real life friend

Well I'm the toughest motherfucker that you ever did see
I never shed no tears in my life, so I know you can laugh for me
And I see you 'round the corner with your pants so goddamn tight
Do you think that all this money's gonna make, everything alright

Just give me someone to call
I ain't afraid to fall
Finish myself alone
I need a real life friend

I've got to presentate for fancy friends who talk behind my back
Friends who I'm afraid to call, got friends who'll leave me back
I got friends who steal my credit cards and friends to take you for a ride
Friends who give me ha-ha-ha, cause you keep me on your side
I got friends who sell me guilty pleasure, and know friends just like you
Friends who scared I'm invincible and tell me what to do
I got so many dirty friends, so many I don't even know
What do I need my friends for hey, hey, hey, somebody

Don't you need a friend to call
I ain't afraid to fall
Can't finish myself alone
I need a real life friend

"Get On Out"

"Get On Out"


I gotta get on
I gotta get on out
All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head
Gotta get on out of my head

Will I be on the streets tomorrow
Will I have to beg and borrow
Will I have to go back to the job I left behind
Could you still make it
With a guy who never made it
Would you look into my eyes if I were to go blind

Gotta get on
I gotta get on out
All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head
Gotta get on out of my head

Now will you leave me for another
Send me running back to mother
Will I have the time to tell you how I really feel
Am I just getting slower
Or are you just talking faster
Do we need bad disaster to make it plain to see

That all these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head
Gotta get on out of my head

Do I just feel like cryin'
Cause I'm sick and tried of tryin'
Trying to convince you this ain't how it has to be
The ground you walk on's sacred
The sky above awaits you
So cast all your frustrations to the bottomless sea

Gotta get on
Gotta get on out
All these worried troubled thoughts gotta get on out of my head
Gotta get on out of my head

"Goin' Down"

"Goin' Down"


Floatin' down the river
With a saturated liver
And I thought I would forgive her
But I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it
And I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets 'round
Goin' down
I'm Goin' down

Coming' up for air
It's pretty stuffy under there
I'd like to say I didn't care
But I forgot to leave a note
And it's so hard to stay afloat
I'm soakin' wet without a boat
And I knew I should have taken off my shoes
It's front page news
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

I wish I had another drink
It wouldn't be so hard to sink
I should have taken time to think
Besides I got the picture straight
She must have had another date
I didn't need this extra weight
I wish that I could see the way to shore
Don't want no more
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

And now I see the life I led
I slept it all away in bed
I should have learned to swim instead
And now it's really got me stumped
I can't believe why I jumped
I'd like to get my tummy pumped
I can't believe they drink this stuff in town
This dirty brown
Goin' down
I'm goin' down

I wish I looked before I leaped
I didn't know it was so deep
Been down so far I don't get wet
Haven't touched the bottom yet
This river scene is gettin' old
I'm hungry, sleepy, wet and cold
She told me to forget it nice
I should have taken her advice
I only want to go back home
I'd gladly leave that girl alone
What a way to spend the night
If I don't drown, I'll die of fright
My pappy taught me how to float
But I can't swim a single note
He threw me in to teach me how
I stayed there floatin' like a mama cow
And now I've floated way down stream
I know this has to be a dream
If I could find my way to shore
I'd never, never do this anymore
I'll give you three, I've been down nine
I'm goin' down just one more time.
Goin' down.
I'm goin' down.

Now the sky is gettin' light
And everything will be alright
Think I finally got the knack
Just floatin' here lazy on my back
I never really liked that town
I think I'll ride the river down
Just movin' slow and floatin' free
There's a river swingin' under me.
Waving back to the folks on shore
I should have thought of this before
I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans
Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes
I know I'll know a better day
I'll go down groovin' all the way
Goin' down
Goin' down

"Good For You"

"Good For You"


It brings me peace
when your asleep
alone together
in a moment that lasts forever
and when you smile
it brings me peace
it's like everything i ever wanted
and i want so bad to be good for you
i could be good for you
i think i'd be good for you
yes, i think i'd be good for you
just like orange juice
i walk around the lake
like putting to good use
something you thought was fake
in the afterlife, well who really cares
this one's good enough just as long as youre there
and i want so bad to be good for you
i could be good for you
i think i'd be good for you
yes, i could be for you
and what is sacred, well this i know
it's just me and you on a train moving slow to heaven
it's just like mama
she used to say
when i told her that everything's ok
she just said good for you
that's so good for you
oh that's good for you
i think it'd be good for you
yeah, i think i'd be good for you
i could be good for you
yeah, i think i could be good for you
i think i could, i think i could, i think i could!
i could be good for you....

"Good Morning Good Morning"

"Good Morning Good Morning"


[Goat bleats]

Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning
Good morning

Nothing to do to save his life
Call his wife in
Nothing to say but what a day
How's your boy been?

Nothing to do, it's up to you
I've got noting to say but it's okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning

Going to work don't want to go
Feeling low down
Heading for home you start to roam
Then you're in town

Everybody knows there's nothing doing
Everything is closed, it's like a ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own, you're in the street

After a while you start to smile
Now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk
By the old school

Nothing has changed it's still the same
I've got nothing to say but it's okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning

People running 'round it's five o'clock
Everywhere in town it's getting dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the wife

Somebody needs to know the time
Glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to flirt
Now you're in gear

Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say but it's okay

Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning

Good morning good morning
Good morning

"Gravity"

"Gravity"


There's a little old man, who can get his hands
On a brand new silver planet
Walks the walk, and he talks the talk
If I had the world he could have it

For every question there are ways to shoot it down
Well there's a greenback, a green light
So we suggest we get this new thing off the ground

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I got to hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, understand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Shudder, and wind me up
Like a toy on my first day of school
Stranded, abandoned
It's the rent and I'm out of food

For every answer there are questions to spare
It's nothing but convenience though it's not convenient
We ain't going anywhere

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I come and hand it to you
But I can't stand the gravity, understand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Come on home
Drifting up alone
Burning away
Up in the space

Lie down in a dream
Tell me whatcha need
Just a circuitry
It's only sanctity
Live how you wanna live

Circle like a satellite
Like a shooting star, still flickering, still glowing
The room is still on fire

For every answer there are ways to shoot it down
Down on the cold ground do you believe that this time you are comin' round

But I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I come and hand it to you
No I can't stand the gravity, can't stand it
The way you handled it, I'm coming out of my shoes

Lie down in a dream
Tell me whatcha need
It's only sanctity
Just a circuitry
Live how you wanna live
Like a Shooting star
Like candle light, still flickering
Floating like a bumble bee, in a whirlwind, blowing
Like a candle light
Starting to disintegrate

"Grounded"

"Grounded"


When aid turned sideways
And It'd head on down the highway
Say this is my way, disappearing forever
But there ain't just one way
So you choose the fun way
Slide down the runway
On a ticket that goes two ways
And by the way that it sounded
You thought that you'd be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Cause it wasn't yours to take
What once seemed like dying
Soon turned into flying
So you settle for trying
And you wish you were grounded
No you cannot get much higher
Than your utmost desire
So you bring it down to size and
Now it seems that you are grounded
By the way that it sounded
You thought that you'd be astounded
But you left it like you found it
Now you find that you are grounded

"Growing Into You"

"Growing Into You"


You never grow out of mischief making
You never grow out of taking
You never grow out of complicating
When simple things are waiting

But I'm growing into you, I'm growing into you
There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear
You never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear

You never grow out of contemplating
When it ain't worth debating
You never grow out of mistake making
You never grow out of faking

But I'm growing into you, I'm growing into you
There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear
You never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear

I'm growing into you, I'm growing into you
There's one thing that I know that's perfectly clear
You never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear
You never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear, you never grow out of fear
And will I ever, ever, ever get over it, get over it...
