Fight 'Em Off
04:03
|

Some people live their whole lives with eyes closed
Need a hand to point them where to go
If there’s no hand they’ll just follow the breeze
Then they go on livin’ lives of ease
And you know they’ll fall for it everytime
And by it I mean anything, anything for a dime I said
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
Then you know there’s people just like me
Everybody needs some company
Principles they fall away so quick
And I am only human I admit
And you know I’ll fall for them once in a while
With their sugar-coated lies, pretty girls with fake smiles, I said
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
This little thing called self control is all in my mind
‘Cause when it comes down to the line,
I fall for them every time I said
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more
If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure
Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more

Desolation Fascination
02:56
|

A reputation that is national
Desert heat makes them irrational
At least that’s what I hear
The way it looks from here
Must be something that I haven’t seen
Something in all of the in-betweens
Desolation Fascination, just use your imagination
Going on a long vacation far away from vegetation
Not a place for the social mind
Just open spaces and a lot of time
Desolation Fascination, just use your imagination
Finding new ways of creation borne out of desperation
Almost there
Almost clear
Not nowhere
Oh so near
Almost there
Almost clear
Not nowhere
Oh so near

What will you do now with the whole changin’ around you
What will you do now everybody’s leavin’ without you
What are you gonna do
Why don’t you tell the truth
It gets too real now that ya feel your life is in danger
The people getting in your face seem stranger and stranger
You stopped thinkin’ at about 35
Since then you been more dead than alive
It’s not enough just to survive
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’
I don’t wanna go
It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’
Someday we’ll pay for all that we’ve been buyin’
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna know
Everyday look away from the crooks who took it all away, they
Hope you don’t discover how they turned you all against the other
Time to buckle up and go for a slide
Keep your dignity, give up your pride
This could be a long ride
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’
I don’t wanna go
It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’
Someday we’ll pay for all that we’ve been buyin’
I don’t wanna go
I know that you know
It’s coming sometime, It’s coming sometime soon
You won’t have time enough to blink
It’s coming sometime
It’s coming sooner than you think
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’
No it’s not personal
It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’
We lost but it’s not for lack of tryin’
And if I told you that then I’d be lyin’
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna know

Can't Lie
04:02
|

I didn’t mean to complicate your life
I didn’t want to treat ya like a wife
I never knew a man could be in so much pain
And I don’t know who or what to blame
I didn’t want to take up all your time
I never knew that caring was such a crime
Still I don’t know which or the other’s worse
Well do I say goodbye or try to put my life in reverse
Then you call me up and you tell me you miss me
But you still keep me waiting
Still you could say that I’m pleasantly surprised
‘Cause when you say you still want me and then you kiss me
Then you know I don’t mind the waiting
Ya can’t lie when you tell me, baby, with your eyes
All this time that we spend apart
Is doing numbers on my already fragile heart
Oh I wish I could see inside your brain
‘Cause then I would know if I’ll ever see you again
Because you call me up and you tell me you miss me
But you still keep me waiting
Still you could say that I’m pleasantly surprised
‘Cause when you say you still want me and then you kiss me
Then you know I don’t mind the waiting
Ya can’t lie when you tell me, baby, with your eyes
How could you lie when you tell, baby, with your eyes
How could you lie when you tell, baby, with your eyes,
Oh no, oh the girl, well she lied to me with her eyes

Everybody’s got their something
That makes their world go ‘round
That makes them say it’s ok
When the world starts to slap them around
Everybody’s got their one thing
The thing they’re living for
You paint a picture, it makes ya richer
Even when you’re feelin’ poor, yea!
It could be your favorite song
That’s music to your tears
You may discover it’s a lover
Make ya feel like you got nothing to fear
If you would only be my something
I’d sure know what to do
I tell ya one thing, if you need loving
I got a little something for you
Yeah I got a little something for you, yea! Aw!
Don’t wanna wait forever
Don’t wanna search forever more
Don’t wanna waste forever
I wanna be forever yours
So won’t you open your door
Excuse me, sir, have you seen my something?
It slipped right out of my hands
Sometimes some things like everything
They don’t always go the way you plan
See I had her right in my hands
Yeah I had her, had her right in my hands
Everybody’s got their something
Everybody’s got their one thing
Everybody’s got their something
Everybody’s got their one thing but me

Too Bad, Oh Well
02:31
|

Why do ya do all the things that you do
I just don’t know about you
Well obviously you’re just as full of contradictions,
Evasions, and fictions as me
I can’t wrap my head around your disease, whoa!
I try to get up, I can’t stand to leave
You remind me of a memory
I just don’t wanna see
You’re a living picture of all the things that we had
You know it wasn’t that bad, c’mon
It took me some time to see that it’s true, whoa!
What you do to me doesn’t do much for you
Too bad, oh well
Too bad, oh well
It’s "too bad" for me, it’s "oh well" for you
Yes I’m at a lost, you know what to do
It’s "too bad" for me, it’s "oh well" for you
Yes I’m at a lost and you know what to do
Well I guess it took time to realize that it’s true
What you do to me, it doesn’t do much for you
What you do to me, it doesn’t do much for you
Well I guess it took time to realize that it’s true
What you do to me doesn’t do much for you
That’s all that I got, I guess that I’m through

If You Want Me To
03:39
|

I, I don’t know what you’re doing
But I, I really like it
You, you got a funny feeling
You got the whole world in your hands
Now please tell me all of your demands
And if you want me to, I will do them for you
And if you want me to, I will do it for you
Floating on a pillow
There’s a ceiling above my head but all I see is stars
What planet are you from?
‘Cause they say that this stuff happens when Venus meets Mars
And if you want me to, I’ll believe that too
And if you want me to, I will do it for you
First time wasn’t quite so ready
Second time we were nice and steady
Baby please don’t leave me here too long
Third time is a charm they say and
I’m still waiting for that day when
Nothing stops us on our way along
I long for you
Another one lookin’ for a two, a 2, 3, 4!
And if you want me to, I will do it for you
And if you want me to, I will do it for you, let’s go

Can't Understand
04:45
|
|||
Girls crawlin’ for dollars
Men whistle and holler for the show
So desperate to touch
You give away so much, can’t say no
Is love really up for sale? Is it just a fairy tale
Told all across the land?
Or is it just a cruel, cruel joke played on people like me?
It’s something I can’t understand
Can’t understand
Can’t understand
Did ever you feel like life just ain’t real anymore?
Did ever you feel like you just can’t deal like before?
When freedom don’t mean nothin’
Just an empty bottle in your hand
When satisfaction’s so hard to find as well as peace of mind
It’s something I can’t understand
Can't understand
Can't understand
I guess I’ll go bury my head
Somewhere down deep in the sand
I just can’t see myself being happy in a world
A world that I can’t understand
Can't understand
Can't understand

Can't Ya See Me, Girl?!
02:37
|

Standing here on top of the world
Can’t ya see me girl
I’m onstage and I’m playing the show
Can’t ya see me girl
Can’t you see with those brown eyes of yours
I’m out of my way holding open doors for you
I’m waving my hands all around in the air
Don’t ya even care
Look at the boy standing right over there
Don’t ya ever care
Don’t you care, you know I look alright
I just can’t bear to spend another night alone
On top of frustration, desperation
I know I ain’t invisible
Can’t ya see me girl
I’m not that hard to spot at all
Can’t ya see me girl
Can’t you see that I try so hard
Can’t it be that that’s the one thing wrong to do
Can’t you see what’s already yours
Can’t ya see me girl

Wonderment

You’re my deluxe package
You’re my all-in-one
You’re my deep conversation
You’re my fun in the sun
I’d even write a silly song about you
And when I’m feeling lonely
And when I’m feeling small
Then I feel there’s only one
Reasonable call
I’d even write a silly song about you
Yeah!
I’d even write a silly song about you
I said, who gives you all the feelings
I gotta gotta say
Yeah when my chips are down I know that you’ll be around
Showing me the light of day
That’s right, just giving me the time of day, oh yeah!
You’re my happy hour
At the end of the week
You’re why I need a shower
You’re why I need a drink
I’d even write a silly song about you
And even when I’m wrong I’m right about you
I’d even write a silly song about you

Control
04:39

Boy says I love you forever
Girl says uh huh yeah whatever
One word, she could have his heart
One word, she could rip it apart
But she don’t say nothing at all
Boy claims that he ain’t in denial
He says he can wait for a while
She can go on out and have her fun
He’ll still be waiting when she is done
I just hope he don’t wait too long
There was a time when you were in your right mind
That was the last time you had control
Call her a queen she calls you a friend
What do you hope to find down this dead end?
The more you try, the more you drive her away
You lay it on real thick and you don’t ever let up
You gonna make me sick, why don’t you ever give up
Oh? Because you’re so romantic
There was a time when you were in your right mind
That was the last time you had control
Control, control
Control, control
Control, control, c’mon, whatcha gonna do about it
