Runaway
02:20
|

Waiting tables for money, honey
I bring a drink to you
I look around and the world seems funny
I know you see it too
I spill your drink
I make you think
Look around and what do they say
Life is a joke
Everyone's broke
Come on, baby
Do the runaway
Burning all the money, honey
Wasting all the time
I look around and everyone's running
The world is yours and mine
I kiss your shoulder
Stop from getting older
Ain't no more people, can't hear what they say
Everyone's dead
Drunk in the head
Come on, baby
Do the runaway

Double Wide
02:06

Life in the low
But I sing from my soul
In my double wide
Touch your androgyny
Feel my monotony
In my double wide
Cooking for love
Making love on the rug
In my double wide
Carpet stains
Lazy-E-Boy back pains
In my double wide
Broken t.v.
Now you gotta watch me
In my double wide
Cat fish fry
'Til the day I die
In my double wide
In my double wide

Baby, Wake Up
03:00
|
|

Sometimes in the mornin'
When I can feel you breathin'
I lay there for a minute
I wonder what you see
In your dreams
There are bad men
And people who would kill
But I put my arm around you
I'm here with you still
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is through
Baby, wake up
I'm lying right beside you
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is done
Baby, wake up
Let's have some morning fun...
When your eyes finally open
I greet you with a kiss
Good morning, I love you
Ain't no place better than this
In your dreams
You were cryin'
But you've had your fill
I put my arms around you
I'm here with you still
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is through
Baby, wake up
I'm lying right beside you
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is done
Baby, wake up
Let's have some morning fun...
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is through
Baby, wake up
I'm lying right beside you
Baby, wake up
The nightmare is done
Baby, wake up
Let's have some morning fun...

Dog's Head

I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head
I'm living in the dog's head part of the rain

Shadowbus
03:12

Greyhound won't do
In times like these
Praying for a ride
I fall on my knees
It's two a.m.
I can't get home
I walk to the place
Where the shadowbus roams
Don't need a ticket
Ain't no fuss
Don't need a suitcase
Shadowbus
Don't matter where you're going
Hop on with us
But don't ride too far
On the shadowbus
I'm looking out the window
Waiting for a sign
Empty plastic seat
For that girl of mine
I left in a hurry
Said, "Babe, I gotta go"
She asked when I would be back home
I said, "Baby, I don't know"
Don't need a ticket
Ain't no fuss
Don't need a suitcase
Shadowbus
Don't matter where you're going
Hop on with us
But don't ride too far
On the shadowbus
Don't need a ticket
Ain't no fuss
Don't need a suitcase
Shadowbus
Don't matter where you're going
Hop on with us
But don't ride too far
On the shadowbus

Venus in Denim

Out of the dog's head
And into the creek
Grab my shirt collar
And hit me if
If I speak
I'll take you to the river
Swim and then sweat
Tell me you'll be there
At that house
In my head
Dive in the Cannon
Swim in my head
Dive in the Cannon
Until I'm dead
Let's give each other bruises
Cigarette burns
I won't refuse it
If you make
Love hurt
The party is over
The house guests are gone
We were in my head
Swimmin'
All along
Dive in the Cannon
Swim in my head
Dive in the Cannon
Until I'm dead
Dive in the Cannon
Swim in my head
Dive in the Cannon
Until I'm dead

Pop Sounds
03:10
|
|

My radio picks up
From over the ocean
I hear a little girl
Singing that song
Toes begin to tap
In a twisting rhythm
I don't know the language but I
Sing along
Pop sounds
In my head
Pop sounds so
Bright red
Pop sounds
Shooting pool
Pop sound so
French cool
That little girl is older now
And that time is past
I feel the organ swell
And I wish I could go back
So I turn the stereo up
To hear the trumpets moan
Little girl in the Sunday shoes gonna
Take me home
Pop sounds
In my head
Pop sounds so
Bright red
Pop sounds
Shooting pool
Pop sound so
French cool
I don't know the language
Pop sounds
In my head
Pop sounds so
Bright red
Pop sounds
Shooting pool
Pop sound so
French cool

Two bars
City hall
You come
To get it all
Livin'
In piss
When you're drunk is the
Only time you wanna kiss
My head is amiss
My head's in a dish
My head is amiss
Give my brain a kiss
Two bars
And a mill
You come
To get your fill
Leaving town
On a rail
Devil gone now I own
Hell
My head is amiss
My head's in a dish
My head is amiss
Give my brain a kiss
Two bars
City hall
You come
To get it all
Livin'
In piss
When you're drunk is the
Only time you wanna kiss me
My head is amiss
My head's in a dish
My head is amiss
Give my brain a kiss
