Fall out the exit, lean on me now I see two of you in both my eyes Blur out my edges, punchdrunk and love-stoned Need something to hold me upright Let me know Won't you let me know? Steady my darling, don't worry I've got you And you got me most of the time Mezcal and lust bleach the message I'm sending They taste like you when you were all mine Would you let me know? Won't you let me know? It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see My head's caving in Oh It's so hard to believe what you won't let me see Won't you let me know? Won't you let me know? Oh it's so hard to believe what you won't let me see My head's caving in My head's caving in

It's hard to say what's real these days My mind can be a dangerous place She's too naive for suicide But god I wish that bitch would die Give me, give me, give me, give me a reason Why every night I'm losing sleep God damn she's on to me again Or maybe I had too much to drink You see I think I figured out I figured out as I was thinking How to stop her piercing voice From everything that she was stealing Get the gun, get the gun, get the gun Is all I'm hearing again and again you know I used to be such a hopeless man And she used to be such a sweet, sweet thing She's too naive for suicide But god I wish that bitch would die Shot gun shells, yeah it's alright The whiskey says, "Let's take her fuckin' life." One thing I do remember Is that things never get better And I got to make the voices, make the voices for the maker Of the maker making voices, making voices Gotta make her, gotta, gotta make her stop Before my head comes caving in again You can walk this world all alone But I can still hear her, tearing me apart

I wish I could've known On my approach, you were hard as stone Had I done you wrong? Had I stolen your smile, had I pulled you along? Fed you with words that were vacant and cold? Feeling my world caving in Feeling your love grow thin Lock you inside my head If you care, if you don't To undo what you did It's a mess, it's my fault It's my careful resolve What I hear, what I want It was not what you... said We cannot move this This space that's between us Without some kindness To soften the load To grace us with hope I wish I would've shown Something besides what was carelessly known Had I held my ground When we fell down and crept out of what we had plowed Locked up and caught up and crumbling down Feeling my world caving in Feeling your love grow thin Lock you inside my head If you care, if you don't To undo what you did It's a mess, it's my fault It's my careful resolve When I hear what I want It was not what you... said We cannot move this This space that's between us Without some kindness To soften the load To grace us with hope

Have you ever been swindled by a swindler who lies? 'Cause he wants to see you smile, have a good time, be inspired And he doesn't want for you to cry or know he cries inside So he hides behind his great triumphant rock and roll disguise We want things to be real, but you really can't deny We feel excited and on fire, is it wrong to lie and say he's fine? When the reason he's not fine is the pressure of the power changing lives In just one hour, all these people will be better people Take this job and shove it, adios, I'm a ghost I am leaving for the coast and I'll never work for anyone again I am not your savior or your heavenly host I'm just a piece of zwieback toast getting soggy in a baby's achin' mouth I'm going south like the geese I just goosed you and so maybe I seem loose to you But I don't even want to spoon I did once, but I don't now Now that I see how you do things The way you play and sing's amazing But the way you play the game is crazy You don't have to say you're sorry, you don't owe me anything Don't owe me anything Sometimes it seems like I've got all the answers But the answers aren't the same when the questions keep on changing Like how will I react when I see my mother crying Every single day 'cause she is afraid of dying? And how will I contain my anger When Delila plays Unchained Melody instead of Lost In Your Eyes? And where will I go where I can feel safe When my family sells its place and we all split up and move away? I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in I'm trying to be brave 'cause when I'm brave other people feel brave But I feel like my heart is caving in

How it rambles 'round the moon A let-go-of balloon Nothing is forever, everything is soon And my father as he stands A perfect cartoon man Heavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Rise it up, it's fine terrain The time will come again And misery's no rest for weary gentlemen See that humankind is you Like all the rest, down to The scratches on the album that you're singing to Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Through the light and through the shadow I won't wait it out, wait it out Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Biting clovers in the lawn A solitary fawn Underground, the new life thunders up and on

This is Blow the House Down (A one, two, a one, two, three) This one goes to market This one makes a meal at home This one has closets While the have-nots down the way have none So I go to the mountains, I go to the river I pilot machines People have places And the places have the people's dreams Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Down and down, down and down, down and blow the house down Blow the house down Down and down, down and down, down and blow the house down There's a song for the robbers On the other side of windowpanes A song for the cowboys Held up in hundred mile an hour trains And there's one for the lovers, and one for the sinners That they sing in the pews Short of distinctions I'd say we've all grown tired of singing blues Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Down and down, down and down, down and blow the house down Blow the house down Down and down, down and down, down and blow the house down Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh, puff, puff and blow the house down Oh, oh... Blow the house down Down and down, down and down, down and blow the house down

Time will be the life of me And time will be the death of me In my loose head, my state July My mind a room of ruby light I find you there in the empty road That flickers by the almond grove Time will be the life of me And time will be the death of me We mountain through the mountains to the point of return The ridges rose and rose for who knows how long And on and on with you beyond and there's no return I lost it there, I ran aground And I between the windows down Was a whistling bottle in the wind In my seat I hyperventilated Nothing goes only to heaven or hell Or ever did, or ever will Time will be the life of me And time will be the death of me We mountained through the mountains to the point of return The ridges rose and rose for who knows how long And on and on with you beyond and there's no return

Out in the water with weeds in our hair Whistling songs that we spun from the air I saw the shape of a ghost in the waves Dead as the sea foam, bright as the day Bright as the day Move through the summers when we were young Held to the fire, the way of the sun Lights on the fog over Bay of Bengal I turned down and they stayed on Bright as the day Out in the backyard, earth in our teeth Whistling songs that we learned in our sleep I heard the sound of a ghost in the night Scraped up dirt and monsoon skies Over Calcutta, I'm drifting alone Naked and empty as the day I was born Held to the fire, a moth in the flame Dead as the sea foam, bright as the day
