everybody’s driving with their headlights on
It’s a hot and humid afternoon
who just died? I smelled that smell before
and some bargains at the mall
funeral dresses, funeral dresses
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon
you can buy some black satin halter-top
or any morbid thing you choose
shop were the funeral director shop
for his black wingtip shoes
funeral dresses, funeral dresses
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon
hold that thought. man, hold up everything
who’s that driving the backhoe down main street
I see healing in his wings
and dead are rising to their feet
funeral dresses, funeral dresses
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon
funeral dresses
on Saturday afternoon

Living With Pain
he screamed my ears off the other night
got a mouth on him that never stops
got a vocabulary that would wake the dead
yeah he woke my grandmother who called the cops
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
he put his mattress in my living room
he built a campfire in my den
(and with) ungracious manners, no please or thank yous
he burned my toast and he says, “Amen”
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
with a sword in sideways (...…)
It’s worse than (....) its worse than car sick
it’s worse than rolled over by a parade float
its worse than sore knuckles from a yard sick
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
woe, woe, woe, woe
living with pain
living with pain
living with pain

tell her if you see her
tell her I'm alive
living on the border
of a ... thousand light year drive
tell her if you see her
tell her where I am
living in the likeness
of an ... ordinary man
call the Mothership
to bring me home again
call the Mothership
oh, oh, to bring me home
does she think about me
beyond this stratosphere
did she love without me
does she know I'm here
does she tell the story
as she walks the floor
of a baby crying
on a foreign shore
call the Mothership
to bring me home again
call the Mothership
oh, oh, to bring me home
so tell her if you see her
tell her I'm alive
living on the border
of the ... corner of the sky

Take It Back
04:22
|

|
the silent storm of anger kicked ...
a whole right through my stomach wall
and then I blamed it all on you
now while I clean my horse’s stall
I take it back, I take it back
I take it back, take it back
It made such perfect sense to me
but “thicker than a brick” is wide
was dense as dense as dense could be
so dense was left no sense inside
I take it back, I take it back
I take it back, take it back
like when I misconstrued events
misrepresented my intents
when on that wide projection screen ...
made you review my wildest schemes
I take it back, take it back
I take it back, take it back
(Break)
I take my boots, my cowboy hat ...
my branding iron, and after that...
to all I own, I now confess
it’s time what’s mine, i repossess
I take it back, take it back
I take it back, take it back

your such a hard person to shop for
hard person to know how to please
I always think “what’I get you that for
maybe you’d rather one of these
every Christmas, every Easter, in every magazine
I searched for the uniquely unique
in a Colorado canyon I hide 3 jellybeans
that the peak of my creative streak
there are groves of trashy trinkets that symbolize you
and faces held captive in clay
and scratched in a rock in my back yard
and there my whole lifetime you’ll stay
(Break)
and my guitar, my songbook of memories
of summers on the beach at Cape Cod
and my religious, indignant summaries
of time, space travel, and god
but my treasures of ineptness so meager
and what I bought at the mall all display
that I’m killing to be willing and able
to heap on you all of my praise
yes my guitar, my songbook of memories
of summers on the beach at Cape Cod
and my religious, indignant summaries
of time, space travel and god
but my treasures of ineptness so meager
and what I bought at the mall all display
that I’m killing to be willing and able
to heap on you all of my praise
Amen
