SHIP OF FOOLS
Shipwreck sailors searching for some fools gold
They're the local drunken boys
Been out drinking all night feeling alright
We watch them kill each other in a fight
Ship of fools, drunken hearts
Making yet another new start
Ain't it hard to play that part
When you've got a drunken heart
I can't change the world by complaining
You can't change it with a kiss
Be no concentrating contemplating
No time to find out what we miss
Ship of fools, drunken hearts
Making yet another new start
Ain't it hard to play that part
When you've got a drunken heart
CAN'T GO BACK
The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
And when it gets too full I forget
Now if I'm late and I'm making you wait
Then there ain't one thing around that's even funny
Seein' things clearly and I thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way
put it all in bags, just call it charity
You just can't go back, you just can't go back
Everybody's going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It's more than amusement now, you're just killing time
Just killing time, you just can't go back
Just killing time, you just can't go back
Just killing time, you just can't go back
Fifteen years later caught in time's incinerator
Yesterday's worries are today's
But the good times are so near
just sitting back and drinking beer
You know I'm halfway down the road
but I know that I still ain't there
Seeing things clearly I thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way
put it all in bags, just call it charity
You just can't go back
Just killing time, you just can't go back
Everybody's going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time
ANOTHER WORLD,
ANOTHER DAY
Folks tell jokes in clouds of smoke
Making sure life won't decay
Fancy flags fly in your face
Fall polluting in my space
Pounds of sounds from shotgun rounds
Music of the hit parade
No your fathers, fathers, fathers
He's got nothing left to say
On the day you walked away
Another world, another day
MADE TO BE BROKEN
Guess I'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me I will ride
I will tear out my insides just to find a place to hide
And I don't want to hurt you anymore
You got the dagger but I got the revolver
As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor
?????
And I don't want to lie to you no more
???
A guitar's a man's best friend
But these rules were meant to be broken
????
And I haven't got the guts to make you cry
????
And I don't want to hurt you anymore
Some things are meant to be spoken
And these rules are meant to be broken
NEVER REALLY BEEN
Sirens are a-screaming
Shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in
And there goes my hero with his head between his legs
And all this time I believed in him
Now, what is the sound of snow falling down
On the tombstone in the dead of the night?
And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound
Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight?
And where will you be in 1993?
Still sitting in the same chair
Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner
But I've never really been touched there
Hey ain't it strange how some things never change
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same?
You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe
oppressed
But I was just depressed about my last pinball game
I've learned to accept and not to expect
The respect and neglect that I get
I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet
And on this I place my last bet
Hey did you give what you get
Did you get what you give? of your "????"
Winning is for winners
And I know spring follows winter
But I've never really been touched there
You know it's hard to be nice
When hate becomes your vice
And you can't find peace anywhere
Love's just not for lovers
Get off your high horse brother
Drop your fist and get out of here
WHOA!
Whoaaaaaa! I want blood
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love
Whoaaaaaa! desperate ????
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love
Whooooaaaa!
NEW FEELINGS
Sroll away the chains that wrap around me
Wipe the spider webs from my eyes
Tumble down the tall walls that surround me
I won't need no lies no alibis
My new feeling
New feeling (x5)
Daydreams screams
They just don't seem so far away
No I'm not possessed by my possessions
Lift my head to clear my right to die
You're in love with your evangelist investment
I don't need an alibi
My new feeling
New feeling (x5)
Daydreams screams
They just don't seem so far away
My head's like a wrecking ball and you look like a wall
Mopping up the tears that fill your eyes
This is my life, my right and that's not all
I just laughed my head off and cried
My new feeling ...
GROWING PAIN
Riding into town when the sun goes down
And the natives get restless and the crowd comes round
Pacing in place in a backward race
While starting my case to another blank face
I'm just sitting on the roadside
Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by
They may pass me by
But i need a better reason to cry
Growing pain it leaves a stain
That's similar but not the same
It's down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who's a little insane
Now everything's lovely if you're ugly
What you would, what you should, and what you could be
Mr right, spending his life,
Stabbing himself with a butter knife
I'm just sitting on the roadside
Watching all the cards and the clouds roll by
They may pass me by
But I need a better reason to cry
Growing pain's a spinning blade
Whirling round you like a razor edged chain
It's down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who's a little insane
Growing pain it leaves a stain
That's similar but not the same
Its down the drain and what remains
Maybe you're the one who can make that change
Can't shake hands with boxing gloves
With whips and chains you'll never make love
LONG WAY HOME
You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me
You won't know and you're never claim to show
That special feeling inside
Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go
Up to the skies and it only goes to show
I've waited here for you a long, long time
I think i'd better go
Long way home (x4)
So now you studied the changes
Have you lost your way
Through all the strangeness
And you got no more to say
Long way home (x8)

AIN'T THAT THOUGH
A sweet scent of discontent rising in the air
You don't get old you just get passive
and then you stand and stare
Hey nobody's keeping you from stopping
Like a bulb without a socket
your finger trigger's itching
but you forgot to cock it
And things didn't turn out the way
you thought they would be
No you can't take that out on me
If you can find a better way
then I ain't standing in your way
I'm fed up with holding out
I called your bluff now let it out
You were thinking you were never never never enough
It ain't bad luck it's just that you ain't that tough
Ain't that tough ain't that tough
A graveyard of bottles and ?????
If you're so brave why's a .45 hang from your hips
Nobody's keeping you from stopping
You're always threatening to kill yourself
Well why don't you just do it right here, right now
I didn't turn out the way you thought I would be
No you can't take that out on me
I thought I was talking to someone else
I guess I was talking to myself
I'm fed up with holding out
I called your bluff now let it out
You were thinking you were never never never enough
It ain't bad luck it's just you ain't that tough
Last time I saw you you were talking just like me
Now you're talking like some hollywood actress,
What the hell's that supposed to mean?
You ain't that tough you ain't that tough ...
DON'T IT (MAKE
YOUR PROBLEMS SEEM SMALL)
