this is not your first, i take it, your first time on the road
it doesn't take too much to fake it, fake it out like the pros
i remember when i was your age i cut off a guy
my hands were shaking as i watched him drive on by.
my bad
this is not your first, i take it, your first time in this town
i see a lot of familiar faces but yours is one i don't know
i remember when i was new here i felt like you do
fall in with the wrong crowd and you'll paint yourself a new color
but this is not your first, i take it, your first time with these thoughts
step away from the internet and find yourself in the sun
i remember when i just about lost myself online
it can't be healthy but i must i admit i check it all the time
too much

i hear you creeping over- are you looking for me?
i can't tell if you like the taste or if you just want to burn things
kamikaze pilots- another day on the job
shit sounds like an opera, but its all f'd up
can you tell me more?

apologies they come when you least expect
a burden on you mind will consume your time
followed instructions to the T like you asked
that broken part of me where’d i see it last
tell me thats what your looking for
we’ve been out here for hours a time
i don’t know what i’m looking for
and we’ve been out here for an hour
tell me thats what your looking for
we’ve been out here for hours a time
but i don’t know what i’m looking for
tell me that’s what you're looking for

call me

call me just a friend of the family
you don’t have the right
you don’t know the first thing about me
all you need was ask
staring like a deer in the headlights
what else else do we know?
people come and people just drive by
where else can we go?
waking up was not part of the plan
i did not consent
guess i see your point but what’s your fear?
i don’t have to say
wake me up when all the troops are home
that will be the day
what a world we live in.

i think i’ll take up running
run around he block
i know i’ll be healthier
thinking anyone can change
even on a whim
sent a book to my brother
going through hard times
a book about the Holocaust
and how the author had survived
when your mind is all you own
i remember singing
singing through the house
whenever no on was home
in another language
one i still don’t know
i think i’ll take up running
run around the block
i know i’ll be happier
thinking anyone can change
even on a whim

We met while young
crown of flowers in my hair
playful taunting
an innocent dalliance
i called your name
you only threw stones
always a little off
Married too young
crown of roses in my hair
you were my feet
and I your balance
I called your name
you only turned round
never a moment gone.
oh father, is this not the only way?
oh mother, I have done all you say.
oh brother, what’s that look upon your face?
many moons have passed
flowers long have died away
dust settles on your chair
and in our empty house
please write me
when your planning to return
and I’ll meet you at the river.

five hours driving if you go fast
take it slower, you’ll save in gas
i don’t mind being on the road
white lines guiding the way back home
shaken father and mother too
baby boy with a mind untrue
wicked feelings and voices too
i don’t wish this on anyone
least of which, my father’s son
ma’ says pills are the way to go
oh

Chicago

their faces, pale and grey
walking on the limbs of a tall tree
making on their skin, tattoos or something
they threw a ball around
the rest is gone
after all it only was a dream,
and now its just a distant memory
i know it may be far fetched, but who's to say your eyes are used to see?
and though i don’t want to look, i do
i never see anything, but i tried.
you know i don’t want to look, but i do
i never see anything, but i tried.
in chicago, coldest i’ve ever been
where no one notices you
and the sirens ringing through the night
like dogs at your door
it bounces off buildings like other i’ve ever heard
like the city’s on fire all the time
i know it may be f'd up
when i can’t the difference between my dreams and memories
and though i don’t want to look, i do
i never see anything, but i tried.
you know i don’t want to look, but i do
i never see anything, but i tried.

you want to tell me your story but you don’t want to listen
i’m half tempted to leave but i’m too damn polite
i think i’m prone to these problems, they just tend to find me
i want to be more honest with what i’m really thinking, i’m just afraid of what you’ll think of me.
i want to tell you my story but i don’t don't think you listen
its not fully of fury, its not too exciting
i guess its kinda what life is, just a series of days
its all over ‘for you know it when you're stuck in your ways
i just hope i wont be stuck here long
i don’t think you’ll listen
its not too exciting
life is just a series of days
know it when your stuck in your ways.
