Things I learned in a hobo jungle Were things they never taught me in a class room Like where to find a handout While thumbing through Chicago in the afternoon Hey I'm not bragging or complaining I'm just talking to myself man to man This old lentil fat I'm chewing Didn't take a lot of doing But I take a lot of pride in what I am I guess I grew up a loner Don't remember ever having any folks around But I keep thumbing through the phonebooks And looking for my Daddy's name in every town And I meet lots of people But I always end up leaving on the lam Hey where I've been, where I'm going I didn't take a lot of knowing But I take a lot of pride in what I am I never travel in a hurry 'Cause I got nobody waiting for me anywhere Home is anywhere I'm living If it's sleeping on some vacant beach or city square Or if I'm working on some road gang Or just living off the fat of our great land I never been nobody's idol but at least I have a title And I take a lot of pride in what I am This old lentil fat I'm chewing Didn't take a lot of doing I take a lot of pride in what I am

I dream of you in colors that don't exist Travel to the other side, meet you there, leave me blind I look so goddamn tired Even in my sleep Don't you die on me now baby I am you are me I need you for my sanity Oh how you occupy my mind sometimes Soak up a life Be human kind We are the grown breed of extinction century An apex predator facing mass solitude Thriving child of consumption industry I woke to swollen eyes adrift in the depth of my dream Tremor in the stream Now I've lost all sense of direction Don't you give up on me now baby I am you are me I need you for my sanity And in the end you are the ties you made A devil's trade Be human kind Every third day I'm caught in the eye of a storm I run a fever and sweat out all the pain Reset my brain back to the norm Every third day I'm caught in the eye of a storm I run a fever and try minding my own Reset my brain back to the norm Thunder over you no matter what you do But don't despair cause I'm in there with you

I didn't mean that I don't want you here with me And all I can see is a man who wants to give himself to me And I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love again You tell me that you want me too And that you hate me for I find comfort in this lonely place I'm in And all I can do is push you far away And guard my borders even more now I often think of how you pulled me to your chest so tightly Oh help me god how you swallowed your anger that day When we met in the park and I was so worried For a long while we just sat and neither of us could manage to talk I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love I can't give anything back I'm so sorry but I swore by my mother That I wouldn't believe in love

In case I fall for you Will you burn all boats behind you and hit the road with me? And as we pull through Two partners in crime We settle down in Alabama and pretend we're free from fear In case I provoke you to fury Will you play the husky voice and show me that our love can heal? And as we live the life of Riley Will our browntanned skin and the wind up The hills keep at bay all our demons within? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you In case I fail to remain true to you Will you say we are meant to be and that's why you won't leave? And as I slash your devoted heart Will you put up with him being next to me? 'Cause that's how love's supposed to be Or will you walk out of the tale I really wanted to be real? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you Will I find peace? Oh I think I love you Once again an old flag was blown away Oh I think I'm in love In love with you Nowhere else will I find peace but when I'm with you

Where is your power? You keep telling me stories but I can see your pale face You're hard to get I know That I'm the only story that will never grow Never grow for good You owe me ten thousand days just for us And you owe me a night full of beer and drunk hugs And you owe it to me to never give up on me, on you And on our trip to the north I fear you'll come back in town again Tie the selfsame rope around my neck With all your old lies waiting in a trojan horse And raise up those old walls of our love I won't harbor anymore I owe you ten thousand days just for us And I owe you a night full of beer and drunk hugs And I owe it to you to never give up on me, on you And on our trip to the north You haven't changed much Asking for the throne but you can't see it's long gone Smoke and swan Ravage is all you left I'll set out alone and find a land of my own The road is gonna take me home
