Tell me a story
About when you used to sit down
On my bed
Next to me
Before I would go to sleep
I could tell you everything, anything that was going on
Or Going wrong in my life
& you knew just what to say and what to listen to
to make them go away

you lay it down, to me, and then i sleep
when I pray, it’s to you my soul to keep
what I mean is…

I would like to think of you, as if nothing ever changed
For all of what I take from you, it’s you that still remains…
The same.

You lay ‘down for me and then I see dreams
You lay ‘down, I recognize, so you can creep… in my head, so I’m askin

Can I have another night
Lemme have another night
Of a story

Tell me a story
About how you think I done gone and grown up now
This is the one I need to hear
This is what’s been goin on, I been goin down

I would like to think of you, as if nothing ever changed
For all of what I take from you, it’s you that still remains,
The same.

you lay ‘down, for me and then I see dreams
when I get on my knees and pray, for you my soul to keep

Can I have another night, lemme have another night,
Of a story

I would like to think of you, as if nothing ever changed.

I used to bounce around with Brenda
I used to call her all the time
We’d sit and watch the local weather
waitin on a good day to unwind

I used to waltz around with Brenda
She give me kisses all the time
We talk in silly little voices
And then she show me hers, I show her mine

I shoulda left it how it was
If I’da given her space
I coulda let her have her way
It coulda bought me some time

If only I could do it again
If I could change the winds
I wanna be your friend
I opened up my mind

Must be the love that I remember
We used to argue all the time
“High dollar, keep it simple” kinda wedding
Everybody’s laughin hard and drinkin wine

Coulda been the way that I address her
She used to swat me all the time
And by the time I get home to undress her
I’m late again, she sleepin hard off all the wine

Chorus

What if all of a sudden we got together and decided, I was right …
What if all the wild kingdom got together and decided, I was right …
What if I, what if I was right …

I used to bounce around with Brenda
I used to call her all the time
They always said, in the end, that we would be together
We always knew we’d be fine

I shoulda stuck around with Brenda
Because she take such good care me all the time
I was a fool for thinking I could live without her
I’d take her back now anywhere or anytime

everything that I could never say
comin out with that speed and efficiency
it must mean this world is movin faster
who in the hell gonna keep up, who gonna be the master
next in line

I’m feelin tired but good
Last night I had a real nice time
I don’t know if you can see it pretty baby
But my spirit got that sweet old fashion shine

I’m feelin tired but good
Ain’t dat the way it’s supposed to be
And I don’t know if you quite understand it baby,
But that’s the way a man’s got to be.

Now tomorrow gonna come, I’m gonna wake up.
Get up high, gonna finish the west.
Stay out late and get up early
Hesitate on my body rest

Hey, I’m feelin tired but good.
Ain’t this the way it’s supposed to be.

And all I can say is if you sleep through it sexy mama,
You missin all that sweet shit that make me me.

I’m feelin tired but good.
I think this is the best shit I ever had.
And if it’s got me feelin so this good baby,
This tired but good it must be bad.

The morning gonna come I’ma be sleepin
Responsibilities all off my chest.
This tired but good show somebody something.
This tired man gotta have his rest,

I’m feelin tired but good.
Ain’t that the way I’m supposed to feel
And this tired but good, it ain’t no bullshit baby
It’s standin up and it’s all for real.

Hay dos angels, and they talk across the sea.
One soft lady y el otro, a gentleman is he.
By las montañas, she waits ella le bailas by las montañas.
But she longs for the writing man across the sea.
Las Crayolas color the mountainside.
Azul watches over the sea.
The thought of him beside her brings chills to her.
A far off sueño, sweet and peaceful as one can be.
Have you ever been to Lima?
Llamas say Machu Picchu pick you up and keep you down.
Have you ever been to Lima?
Be cause she miss you. She needs to have him ‘round.
Clay of red between los sagos
Las azaleas spring to bloom.
Alone, we sit so quiet.
So content so our spirits fill the room.
A bridge built between us with paper.
Now so very close, he can almost hold her hand.
Los carnitos laugh, she comes to him in September.
He say the wait is over, the two as one shall dance.
Have you ever been to Florida.
Las almas of sweetwater springs, flows underground.
Have you ever been to La Florida, because he miss you too…
He needs to have her around.

Targets and Lights

We need somewhere that you and I can come around to.
Somewhere far away from all the targets and the lights.
We need somewhere that you and I can call a house in.
Somewhere distant off all the noises and the fights.
Where do we go?
Somewhere far away from all the violence and, far away from all the traffic lights.
Where do we go?
We need somewhere that you and I can call a home in.
Somewhere where I can head out under the moon, and take a ride in my canoe.
We need somewhere that you and I can walk around in.
Somewhere where I can take off all my clothes and get myself a drink of water,
And ain’t nobody ever lookin in.
Where do we go, hey I’m gonna take my clothes off.
Somewhere far away from all the targets and the lights.

so you been cookin baby I been cookin life too
I’m gettin real tired of eatin everything on the menu
Well I think that I like yo flavor, you got something good enough for me to savor,
let’s get on… we both jumpin into the stew

Life’s complicated in the kitchen
too many cooks’n everybody gets to moanin and bitchin
Hey when a good thing comes along, a little extra spice gonna keep it all strong,
in not too long… you and me be ready fo dinner.

its gonna take a little bit of my time
I’ma add about a dash of givin in to you
its gonna need a half a cup of unhappiness
it might could use a couple drops of getting mad at you
but not too much, not too much, yeah…

We finally got it right and that’s the reason why the livin has been tastin so good…
I could eat it every night, it’s makin me so happy dat I probably should…
I swallow it down with a sip of dat sweet smile on yo face,
I need another plate, give it to me one more time,
I want da recipe, I need da recipe

add a drop
mama said, mama said she had da recipe
papa said, papa said ta get da recipe
mama said, mama said she had da recipe…

put it all together in a bowl
I’m talking bout da good times, bad times, love and hate dats in yo soul
Whip it up. Real nice. Let it marinate. Flip it over twice. Boil dem…
Petty disagreements away…

I done meticulous preparation
Ima turn da heat up, no mo hesitation
I’m yo Better Homes, yo super cookie cutter
Mouth starts to water n yo taste buds flutter, who cares what Martha Stewart says…
I’ma dip yo ass in butter

There’s just got to be something else…
Now ain’t that something?

If you smile, for me
I could do whatever you want, for free
Just call, for me
And then I’ll do whatever you want, for free
That’s gotta be something…

You call, for me
And then I do what ever you want, for thee
See I play, for thee
So you can be whatever you want, for free

There’s just got to be something else that I can do
Cause it seems “whatever you want” is through
Doesn’t matter what day on earth it is
They’re all yours, they’re all yours
There’s just got to be something else that I can do
Cause it seems what I got working just ain’t right for you.
I should’ve seen this thing comin out the blue
Not with you, not with you
But if you should call, and I hear it’s for me, I’m not callin back.
And if I call you, and you no answer me… fuck it.

I could do whatever I want. I would do whatever I want. I should do whatever I want. Hey, I’m gonna do whatever I want.

I will laugh, I laugh for free.
And you can be whatever I want, whatever I want for me.
I will smile. I smile for thee.
And make you do whatever I want, whatever I want for free.
Yes you will pray, you get down on your knees and pray for me.
So I can do whatever I want for free. For free.
Yes I will cry, I cry at thee, and then you’ll do whatever I want for free.
And it’s all for me. It’s all for me.

Falling for you
I would have to say is the worst thing, I could ever do.
Crawling around for you
It ain’tgonna be the thing that I, me, would ever do.
We were always such friends, but that was different.
Just the thought of laying down, so magnificent.
You black spirit rides and turns the corner
Sad face to face with enemy fauna
You go on and die, you probably gonna.
Go on and die, feed piranha.
I can hear you crying
Your bones break, and you dying
It was my mistake for flying so high.
The last report since after the fall, you ain’t been actin like yourself at all, you been
Talking in tongues, somebody better call me jesus with,
Too many sorries and too many pleases.
I can hear you crying, on the phone.
Your bones ain’t even breakin, and you still, you lying to me on the phone.
I love you, and I’m sorry that things didn’t work out the way that you wanted them to… this is the way that it all worked out this time.

Falling for you.
In retrospect it was the worst thing I could ever do.
And stalling, around and around and around with you.
These they were the happiest times of all, for me and you.
We were always such friends, but that was different.
Just the thought of touchin your lips
I do love you, and I am sorry that things didn’t work out, the way that you wanted them to.

first came sally, under the house
then sally had babies, under the house
under the house 4445

and they was runnin around outside. And that’s how they died. True story.

Mr Black, Ms. White, Sally, runnin around outside.
Sally got sick by another Tom and at the clinic is where she died.
Not too much longer, I went away on a trip
Came home and I’d lost Mr. Black
To this day, to my dismay, I still don’t know where he at.
Now for a while it’s only me and Ms. White.
She steadysleepin in my bed and we real tight.
And then she ain’t come home at all one night.
I fell asleep sad thinking this ain’t right.
Mornin came, cold but sunny. No Ms. White, and that ain’t funny.
I found her outside on my way to go to work.
Cold and lifeless, lying in the dirt, so
We dug her a grave, had a funeral for her right away.

You really gotta love what you love with all the love that you got and shine thankful for every day.

Truths dance off the tongue – sometimes a thousand, sometimes one.
The mind moves and has fun, like mental calisthenics so we stay young.

I fell out of a tree today
Pretty sure I’m gonna be ok
I keep climbin up em anyway
I climb on

I guess I musta bumped my head
They sayin that im lucky I aint dead
Now I’m laughin bout that shit instead
I laugh on

Never knew that the stars could shine
At 3:45 in the daytime
Mama I swear I’m feelin fine, I swear on, I feel fine

I can feel this healing comin on
Good feelin bring a healin to me 2x

As I fell, on my way down I hear a different sound
For all that I have and all that has happened, I’m so lucky
As I fell, on my way down I think a different sound
When it all comes crashing down, where you gonna hit first, when you fall

Good friend calls my name
Coulda been my last time
Coulda been my last breath
If upside down instead of right side up
Coulda been my last breath, that I ever took
When it all comes crashing down, where you gonna hit first, when you fall

So what’s it gonna be today
You gonna live or gonna hide away
If where you at is where you gonna stay
I move on, we move on

Prefertobemovinmuch to standin still
You ask me if I climb again I told you I will
When I need a healin, I eat that good feelin pill
And I heal on, I heal on

I can feel this healin comin on
Good feelin bring a healin to me 2x

Suppose we sit around and talk about
sacrifice
Not just men, not only mice
But every living entity that shares time rolls the dice.
Makes it two sides, a straight line, a one on one relation.
Three sides gets triangular, like mental masturbation, so
We should take from one mind
a symbiotic star shine.
Stress the iambic, annunciate the diction,
Communicate be true to your soul
useful fiction like
memories of cries and smiles turn the dials of life.
And loves labors lost cuts us down from the cross, without even using
a knife,
but it still hurts
freedom hurts
hurts real good, hurts real painful, so
We should take from one mind.
Turn and face the starshine.
Cause the sun ain’t settin, around it we revolvin
Medicine, a mental prescription for self-evolvin.
And this could be the piece of the pie we gonna take.
A play for individual communal earthquake
If there’s one thing in life that I need you to do is
be true to yourself,
and I will to.

So nobody ever said
You shouldn’t act that way’
But I love how you move
And nobody ever said .
Stop talking while I speak
So important to always tell the truth.

So nobody ever said
I don’t want cha ta wear dat dress
But you pull it off so smoove
And nobody ever said
Stop laughin when I kiss ya
But your so fine when I get ya in the mood

You question da king and you penalized
The policy grow weak and demoralized
Like nobody ever said why to you…
Like nobody ever said hi to you…

I will
I will

There you go again runnin yo insides mouth
I fire up the gamma knife and I cut it out
I lay your cons on the table
Dissect em and correct with intellect cause I’m able
Like nobody ever said why to you
Ima be da first to say goodbye

I will
I will

Get a refiII of
Nui-sance
Waste a little time while I reinvent
And try to make it right again
All this time, this precious, lonely wasted time … (next in line)

So nobody ever said
Heavy kills attraction
But I love how you need
And nobody ever said
Love meets satisfaction
Love only feeds the greed

You question da king and you penalized
The policy is mean and desensitized

Like somebody screamed out good bye to you
Nobody ever said good bye

I will
I will
Ad lib – walkdown Change – out

Maybe, I ain’t so lucky to have you around.
Maybe, I should’ve just left you where you were found.
Maybe, I mightacoulda turned around without a sound faked you out and just walked away.
You were so much faster than me ,you’da caught up with me any old day.
Maybe, you could lay down next to me, and together, we could sing us a song.
Hey it’s alright if you don’t know the words, just hum right along.
Listen up now listen up now listen, to every word that daddy say.
Listen up now listen up now listen, when I tell you to stay at home.
It’s all for your own good, it’s all for your own good, when I tell you no.
This is all my fault, little girl, for turning my head and letting you go.
What can I say? Falling in love, I ever knew that it could happen to me.
What can I say? It happens once and it’s amazing, but twice – what’s the probability.
You just came walkin on right up my street, everbody come on and picture this.
We just layed down together, I washed your hair, a sudden weekend state of bliss.
Listen up now listen up now listen, to every word that daddy say.
It’s not always just about you, and no I don’t wanna come outside and play.
Sometimes I know I ain’t nice, but there are things that you just don’t understand.
Why’s it gotta be such a headache for me to get a woman to listen to a man?

Let’s go for a walk, where I grew up, under those power lines.
Let’s go for a walk, down by the creek in that meadow, under those power lines.
I won’t hold on to you, I’m gonna let you run free, under my power lines.
And we will stand on the banks of that creek, together, watchin them tadpoles and the minnows shine… see how they shine, oh they shine.

Maybe, you ain’t my best friend after all.
Maybe, you gonna be the only one around to pick me up off of the ground when I fall.
Maybe, I’da been better off without ya, I coulda hooked up with somebody else.
Annie, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I’m so ashamed of myself.
