Jaywalkin'

I'm the evil that's in this world
I'm the evil in you
I'm the evil within this world
there's too much evil, it's true
I can walk with kings, I can walk with queens
I can walk through dreams, I can walk with angels
I (will) talk, but that's not true
evil, it's in this world
there's not a damn thing you can do
there's too much evil within this world
I'll be the evil in you
{laughing}
I can walk a walk with Johnny Cash
I can really walk the line
I can walk real slow, I can walk real fast

The Break

I need a break and I need one clean
things aren't never what they seem
what seems close is so far away
you keep running out of words to say
but I keep on singing anyway
'cause I'm never going back there
no, I'm never going back there
folks don't really talk much about it anymore

'cause it's a place with no way in there
it's a road to no way out
I'm asleep when I'm awake
I can't get a break
and I'm falling out, I'm falling down again
and I'm calling out, I'm calling out to you
yes, I'm falling out, I'm falling down again

'cause it's a place with no way in there
it's a road to no way out
everything ends in a heartache
I can't get a break
but I'm falling out, I'm falling down again
and I'm calling out, I'm calling out for you
yes, I'm falling out, I'm falling down again
and I'm calling out, I'm calling out for you

noone calls much anymore
but that's ok 'cause I don't use the phone
it feels better on your own
but don't get wasted every day alone
and I'm never going back there
I don't care
I don't wanna talk much anymore

'cause it's a place with no way in there
it's a road to no way out
everything ends in a heartache
I can't get a break
and I'm falling out, I'm falling down again
and I'm calling out, I'm calling out for you
yes, I'm falling out, I'm falling down again
and I'm calling out, I'm calling out for you

two
one, two, three, four
hold it
sorry

Need Some Air

if the right to be (righted), got a right to be wrong
just like a song Sly sang, there's a riot going on
always have to do with me
that shit ain't on tv
guess the revolution missed me
I need some air, need some air
don't you pass out in a crowd
I need some air, need some air
don't wanna hang out with your crowd
I'm chokin' on the silence and I wanna scream out
hey!
scream out loud
I need some air, need some air
air
air

dozed to New York City and I must have been gone
stuck in a rerun house watching Japanese porn
I said I needed some air
I got up out of my chair
the sidewalk up and hit me
I need some air, need some air
don't you pass out in a crowd
I need some air, need some air
don't wanna hang out with your crowd
I'm chokin' on the silence and I wanna scream out
hey!
scream out loud
I need some air, need some air
air

and you turn me on
now all my teeth are gone
people closin' in
like a riot
she'll give my world a spin
come on and try it
(Bellview) open from a nightmare
somebody up there really likes me
stitches in my head
the revolution is dead
dead, (?)
ah, ah-ha, ah!
I need some air, need some air
I passed out in a crowd
I need some air, need some air
don't wanna hang out with your crowd
I'm chokin' on the silence and I wanna scream out
hey!
scream out loud
I need some air, need some air
(the more) you scream out
hey!
scream out loud
I need some air, need some air
air!
air, air!

Somebody Else's Body

nothing from a schoolboy taught me right from wrong
education's dead
I knew the answer, but had all the questions wrong
somebody's head they said
I didn't see it happen
I didn't have a clue
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
in somebody else's body when I was someone else instead
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
when you're in somebody else's body in someone else's bed

a revolution came and left today
nobody knew
it came and went, and so did Judgement Day
it's really nothing new
I didn't read the papers
I didn't watch the news, no
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
in somebody else's body when I was someone else instead
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
when you're in somebody else's body in someone else's bed

ooh, baby, you are everything to me, but sometimes I need more
ooh, and lately it seems the more I get the more I just keep lookin' for
so tell me what's the use
so tell me now, tell me what the use is when it's over
it's over, it's over when you're
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
in somebody else's body when I was someone else instead
in somebody else's body with someone else's head
when you're in somebody else's body in someone else's bed
but it's over when you're
in somebody else's body with someone else's head, oh
when you're in somebody else's body when someone else is dead
they can't tell it's me
no, no, no

This Is No Place

she can't remember coming home
and I don't know her name
she woke up early, now she's gone
here we go again
this is not my way
guess I lost my way

this is no place
this is no place I wanna be
this is nowhere
this is no where to be

it's already getting dark
and she's still not home
something's following me I know
there's gonna be a storm
guess I can't get over it
guess I can't get over

this is nowhere
this is no place I wanna be
this is nowhere
this is no where to be

you can't change the way you are
sometimes I don't wanna pull that hard

this is nowhere
this is no place I wanna be
and I wanna be
this is nowhere
this is no where to be

I can't remember coming home
and she don't know my name
she woke up early, now she's gone
here we go again
this is not my place
guess I lost my way

you can't change the way you are
sometimes we don't wanna push that hard

this is no place
this is no place I wanna be
and I wanna be
this is nowhere

The Mistake

travelling 'cross the USA
it's hard sometimes to keep it together
nothin' but the songs that you play
and a couple kids believe in your sound
living's just a social disease
so you, you took it straight to the highway
roll one up and do as you please
just be certain not to fall with the wrong kind of crowd
be extra careful when you cross
'cause static comes from every erection
find someone or you'll be lost
and you're just the kind who's liable to never be found
think of you whenever it rains
and I, I hear your song on the jukebox
Jesus don't you know it's a shame
that there really isn't many like you left around

mistake
be careful what you take
you've got a lot at stake
more than you'll ever know
beware the overdose
beware the overdose

mistake
be careful what you take
you've got so much at stake
it's stronger than you know
beware the overdose

in the USA, you never find the time for a-slackin'
never gonna make it today
until you find you exit the dragon
stuck inside, inside my soul
there's this catchy song, this catchy song
it's coming through the radio
there's a certain song, a certain song
stuck inside, inside my soul
it's a catchy song
it's number one
too bad you had overdosed

Take Me

I just don't really need it
like I don't need you
guess I don't really mean it
I've been mean to you

not long for this life
not long for this world
whoa, t-t-take me
take me back again

I'm not your college boyfriend
(?...love her/lover), too
I'm happy when I annoy them
I can learn to fool

you can't sing when the song is over
it's over

not long for this life
not long for this world
whoa, t-t-take me
take me back again

I just don't really need it
like I don't need you
guess I don't really mean it
like I've been mean to you

you can't sing when the song is over
it's over

not long for this life
not long for this world
whoa, take me goddamn it
take me back again

not long for this life
not long for this world
whoa, t-t-take me
take me back again

not long for this life
not long for this world
whoa, t-t-take me
take me back again
take me back again
take me back again

View Of The Rain

I don't try anymore, 'cause only booze improves with age
I don't fight anymore, but sometimes my fists clench up in rage
and I don't cry anymore, but sometimes my skies get cloudy
and sometimes them clouds rain down upon a dream
but I don't mind anymore, 'cause now my mind is wasted on a dream

take a walk upside yourself
get to know the person behind the face
is it someone you can really love?
is it someone who looks down from above
with a view of the rain?
rain

I don't smile anymore, too many smiling faces lie
I don't pray anymore, 'cause too many of God's children die, yes they do
and I don't love anymore
you said you knew where love is, but I never knew where you was coming from
but I don't mind anymore, 'cause now my mind is wasted on a dream
mind wasted on a dream

oh, you got to
take a walk beside yourself
get to know the person behind the face
is it someone you can really love?
is it somebody who looks down from above
with a view of the rain?
rain
view of the rain

take a walk upside yourself
and get to know the person behind the face
now is it someone you can really love?
is it somebody who looks down from above
with a view of the rain?
rain

view of the rain
view of the rain
ooh, view of the rain
ooh, view of the rain
rain

Last Night/Tomorrow

Tin Foil

I was the one who said hi, hi, hi, hi, I know
I know where you been
but what's the matter with askin'
what was that number again?
you were the one who said bye-bye, I know

and I missed my calling again
I won't rest till I'm strong again
I will take that (?)

Monopoly

we're given life to live in
and we’re never gonna live it again
gotta lead it like a dog on a leash, yeah
but my dragon card is wearing thin
rolling dice with God as our witness
down avenues, utilities, and towns
it's survival of the richest
moving our simple pieces ’round and ’round

it’s you and me on the Monopoly board
you land on the block where I got three hotels
but it's not like you want me to win
it was your face that placed the blame on you
and your kiss that turned it brown
your face that placed the blame on you
and your fist that turned me down
but when the night is over and you need a friend
shame on you
you’re your own Monopoly

death is always a no win
that nothing here is meant to last
we’re spending too much time on life’s preparation
haven’t we lived and died before in the past?
I know we (had)

now it’s you and me on the Monopoly board
you land on the block where I got three hotels
now you cheated before ’cause you know you’re gonna win
and you do it again

it was your face that placed the blame on you
and your kiss that turned it brown
your face that placed the blame on you
and your fist that turned me down
ooh, but when the night is over and you need a friend
shame on you
you’re your own Monopoly

ooh-hoo, ’cause when the night is over and you need a friend
shame on you
you’re your own Monopoly
'cause you know you are
your own Monopoly
'cause you know you are
mmm, Monopoly
Monopoly
mmm, yeah
yes you are, yeah
you're your own Monopoly
ah-ha

And You'll Say

hey, let me just, let me just record it
(?...)

and you will say, "if it makes you happy I'll just walk away
if it makes you lonely I'll stay"
but livin' this, why should we run away?
but we won't get that far

and you will say you never loved me anyway
or you could leave, but that's not what I want
and you can have what's yours and I'll just take what's mine
'cause it's easier to lie

what'll keep us alive, what'll keep us high, what'll keep us happy?
what'll keep us alive, what'll keep us high, what'll keep us happy?
woo!

and you will say you never loved me anyway
but you could leave, but that's not what I want
and you can have what's yours and I'll just take what's mine
'cause it's easier to lie

and you will say, "would it make you happy if we could just run away?"
I can always picture your smile
but if you leave your conscience undone
a smile can get you far
hey

and you can have what's yours and I'll just take what's mine
'cause it's easier, it's easier
and you will say you never loved me anyway
you could leave, but that's not what I want
and you can have what's yours and I'll just take what's mine
if it's easier to lie

Digital Black Epilogue

so long Selena, girl, you had it all
and your life was only just beginning
and when the tears are gone, don't you know we'll still have this song
la-dee-dee, lee-dee-dum, yeah
turn off the radio down in San Antonio
I can't take this silence anymore, yeah
she was only 23 years old
and now she's headed down the road
I can hear, I can hear her voice singing
and it's singing some oldie
and I feel it, (?...)
(?) take a breath and sing it slowly

I see things every day that make me sad, make me afraid
and something tells me we must carry on
lately I've been so alone, wired out, but I'm not stoned
I just need the music playing, music playing on
mmm, so long Selena, girl, you had it all
and your life was only just beginning, now
and when the tears are gone, don't you know we'll still have this song
and we'll sing it down the road
I can hear, I can hear her voice singing
