Down But Not Out - Naysayer

I light your cigarettes I bring you apples from the vine How quickly you forget I run the bath and pour the wine I bring you everything that floats into your mind But you don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down You don't bring me anything but down When you come around You are a raging sea I pull myself out everyday I plea insanity 'Cause I can't leave and I can't stay You say, won't you come find me and yes is what I say You don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down Everything is crashing to the ground Maybe I'm not your perfect kind Maybe I'm not what you had in mind And maybe we're just killing time You with your silky words And your eyes of green and blue You with your steel beliefs That don't match anything you do It was so much easier before you became you Now you don't bring me anything but down No you don't bring me anything but down Now everything just crashes to the ground When you come around When you come around No more playing seek and hide No more long and wasted nights Can't you make it easy on yourself I know you wish you were strong You wish you were never wrong Well, I got some wishes of my own

They're writing songs of love - but not for me A lucky star's above - but not for me With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray Than any Russian play - can guarantee I was a fool to fall - and get this way Ah ho alas and awe - so lackaday Although I can't dismiss The memory of her kiss I guess she's not - she's not for me Old man sunshine - listen you Never tell me dreams come true Just try it - and all start a riot Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare Ever tell me she will care I'm certain - it's the final curtain I never want to here from any Cheerful Polly-Anna's Who tell you fate supplies a Mate - it's all bananas It all began so well - but what an end This is the time - a fellow needs a friend When every happy plot Ends with a marriage knot And there's no knot, no (k)not for me

Oh God, it's raining But I'm not complaining It's filling me up with new life The stars in the sky bring tears to my eyes They're lighting my way tonight And I haven't felt so alive in years Just for a day on a day like today I'll get away from this constant debauchery The wind in my hair makes me so aware How good it is to live tonight And I haven't felt so alive in years The moon is shining in the sky Reminding me of so many other nights But they're not like tonight Oh God, it's raining And I'm not containing My pleasure at being so wet Here on my own, all on my own How good it feels to be alone tonight And I haven't felt so alive in years The moon is shining in the sky Reminding me of so many other nights When my eyes have been so red I've been mistaken for dead But not tonight
