Said I 04:10
Goin' downtown To see my baby Been a long time I haven't seen her lately She got a boss man Works her night and day Goin' downtown Freedom gonna come our way... Well, I got downtown And saw my baby Needle in her arm And her hands were shaky When she come down She gonna see what I done She comes down She gonna see my smokin' gun... Said I found the old boss man And shot him down Baby didn't want Him hanging around Gonna take my time Gonna set us free Leave this town Takin' baby with me...

No Sympathy 05:03
I ask you for a simple gift But you won't offer me a rose, well Maybe that's just what I get For accepting weeds for so, so long   And it seems that I have quite a silly habit Of ignoring such things 'Cause if I don't, then that will mean I'll see The worst that's in you   You soothe me with your slick wit Belying with that warm sigh Trying to melt all of my Best held defenses   CHORUS: But pray if you want to Sway if you want to Cry if you want to Lie if you want You won't get One bit of my sympathy   What happened to the idealistic woman With her eyes aglow? Well, she is weeping for the death Of her evaporated soul   She let it go because how could she know It would be gone for good If a sacrifice for trust was made On the cusp of love?   You say it won't hurt a bit It's nothing your first-aid kit Can't cure but, well, that's only superficial   CHORUS It's hard enough With this commitment on my back And this curse on my pen It's hard enough With a tragedy of advanced degree Leaving me with nothing to defend   So I think I'll take a slice of disappointment With my cereal and tea In the hopes that it will make a better fighter Out of me   'Cause this ain't a fight I can win I don't have the energy to spend And talking with you is a waste of words Anyway CHORUS (x2)

Conway 02:47
Look at these people They wanna take my crown They're lookin' at my steeple They wanna burn it down They find the weakest link And they try to break Drill a hole in my boat just to watch me drown In the lake They got me jumpin' like my name was Jack Flash They got me feelin' black like my name was Johnny Cash But today, I'm feelin' more Conway So don't take it away Look at these people They never carry their hearts They see your smile, they see your shine They wanna rip it apart 'Cause they'll never have The things that make you great But they'll try their best to bring down the rest To a depression state They got me jumpin' like my name was Jack Flash They got me feelin' black like my name was Johnny Cash But today, I'm feelin' more Conway So don't take it away (Take it...)

Holy Ghost 04:01
Open up your eyes, girl Tell me what you see Is there a devil hiding Just behind that tree? Take my hand, girl Follow me Said it's alright, it's alright, It's alright, baby, wait and see Said take me up to the Streets of Gold Take me down to the River of Souls I'll be your secret if you wanna know If you're a sinner, baby, I'm the Holy Ghost If you need salvation This could be your chance 'Cause you been waitin' on the Angel of Death to come and change your plans So when you see that Fire And you see that Man You better get down on your Knees and throw up your hands Said take me up to the Streets of Gold Take me down to the River of Souls I'll be your secret if you wanna know If you're a sinner, baby, I'm the Holy Ghost

You'll never get out of Dallas like this Stuck to blue like gum and glue And clutching fear in your fists Concrete and neon warm the cold emptiness And the comforts are small, but you mistake them all For some sort of bliss And don't you hate the way Your dreams decay Into dim irrelevance? And the city holds you tight When you're alone in the night   From here to Oklahoma the highway Cuts through like a knife And the city bleeds over fields and trees 'Til the sky is bathed in white   And what can you say It's been this way your whole life And that foolish drug you mistook for love Only stole your will to fight But you were never bold Now you're growing old Still you're blinded by the light "Don't believe what you can't see" That's your whole philosophy   So go find your life... (x3) You'll never get out of waiting like this You can scream and swear And pull your hair But time won't budge an inch You'd be better off trading that curse for a kiss You're not the only one Who's refused to run From the edge of this abyss But what you're going through It is nothing new Don't be afraid what you might miss 'Cause there's no such thing as meant to be I think Dallas would agree

Hey Hey! 03:14
Driving into the night You turn the radio dial You hear an old song from high school That you love, and you smile Despite all the static You complete all of the lyrics And you don't even try How you could remember Every single line of Third Eye Blind And Nevermind, you'll never know why Hey, hey! You gave up all of your dreams Without so much as a fight The company that you'd own And the novel you'd write You think you might begin it But you sit alone on Sundays Watching Magnum P.I. Wondering, maybe, if perhaps You could pull off that mustache And those tiny shorts if you were a spy Hey, hey!   Next stop is Loserville It's closer every moment you drive Better take the next exit Before you find you're 35 Hey, hey! The person you always swore You would never become Is coming out of your heels And from under your thumbs How could it have happened That you turned into the loser That you always despised? Maybe it is because It was just what you were all along But somehow you never realized Hey, hey!

I Beg You 03:49
Love me good, love me right In the middle of the night I beg you... No, I won't make a sound If your parents come around I beg you... All I need is to be Here with you, here with me I beg you... If you have one ounce of trust This is love, it isn't lust I beg you! Some would say it isn't true, But I'd jump right off a bridge If I lost you... And that's what's got me scared 'Cause I'm not sure I'm prepared For what they'll do... When tomorrow comes around, They'll come and hunt me down I beg you... You see, I've stolen all I can, Singing 'Catch me if you can' I beg you! Oh, the noose is hangin' high, And as I hang my head to die, I'll know I loved you So darlin', darlin' if you can, Grant this wish to a dying man I beg you... Love me good, love me right In the middle of the night I beg you... Love me good, love me right If just for one more night I beg you!

Say You Will 06:17
I've been afraid to let the secret out But now those frozen words are burning in my mouth With every breath my resolution slips And I can't stop the smoke from rising to my lips But, oh, oh, I think you already know Oh, oh, yeah, that I've been down So far, so low But I gave up the ghost when I was 21 Traded my nerves for steel, my sweetness for a gun Guess that explains why all the good boys run And why you tell me that I just can't be the one 'Cause, oh, oh, I am the rock to your roll Oh, oh, yeah, I bring you down So far, so low Oh, oh, I am the rock to your roll Oh, oh, yeah I never thought I'd be alone and be so old I wrap my arms around you, but you feel so cold Yeah, why do you have to bring me down, baby, So far, yeah, so low... ------------------------------------------------------------ 'Cause I have a heart that's paper thin It blows and it sways with the wind So please, please, please, be easy on me Until I get a thicker skin Say you will, oh, say you will And I cannot stop what I begin And I carry this torch for you, still unabated So please, please, please, just hold me when it's dim And pretend you haven't hesitated Say you will, oh, say you will And I wear this heart like a tattoo Over my heart, the scar's been frozen So please, please, please, just smile when you lie to me 'Cause I take some sugar with my poison Say you will, oh, say you will

Giant 04:11
I remember the day The sky went black And the giant from the Depths came crawling back And how word got around And spread through town Like a wildfire Eating up our homes They say he's crushing our bones So we cry out "Oh, someone come and help, We're all alone!" They say he's crushing our bones So we cry out (Out...) "Someone... Oh, someone...!" Said it's simple fact That flesh and bone Well, they just don't equal Up to mechanical force You know it's simple fact That flesh and bones (Bones...) They just don't equal up!

Nebraska 07:00
Well, I should've asked the questions Written on your face Instead I swallowed silence down And cleared the supper plates And you headed out of Nebraska The winter of that year Chasing everything you thought you loved And leaving what you feared And the days are wide and long Along this road I travel And I'm filling up this paper cup With thoughts I can't unravel By the springtime you'd grown tired of Nothing going your way And by June I held a postcard From across the USA You're a drifter and a searcher Daddy's blood in your veins You ancient one, you prodigal son You sinner, you saint And you say "The days are wide and long Along this road I travel I'm just filling up this paper cup With money I panhandle"   The snowflakes on the wheat fields Were piled wide and high And inside the silence smothered me 'Til I couldn't even cry And after all the time of holding in The silence of these years I screamed to God to send an angel Who'd comfort all my fears 'Cause I need some company Along this road I travel I'm just filling up this paper cup With dreams that I can't handle
