What are you doing here?
Can you do it to me?
Got your photo taped to my wall
In the penitentiary
Because i want you to come around
And i want to hear your heart pound
Got your head
And its all mixed up
Don't know what to do
Youve been locked up so long
They almost forgot about you
You've got it bad and you're so in love
But you're stuck behind those walls
Cut your cigarettes in half
You've got enough to share for two
You've got it band and you're so in love
But you don't know what to do
So bake a cake with your heart inside
And a key to unlock you
No you're never going to see it through
No you're never going to see
Because I want you to come around
And I want to hear your heart pound

I Don't Mind

She was talking about a limousine,
She knows them well.
She was born overseas,
And you can't even tell.
But I don't mind
I know what everyone sees now,
I know it well.
She's going to make a scene now,
I can tell.
But I don't mind

Much Too Loud
03:13

Up the coast, where you hide.
Dragged away, in the moonlight.
In that cave, with those eyes.
I want to feel what it's like.
I hear you coming.
Is that you coming?
I heard you were coming back around.
I hear you coming.
It'll be quite something
Oh I heard you were coming back around.
Up the coast, where you hide.
Dragged away, in the moonlight.
In that cave, with those eyes.
I want to feel your insides.
I hear you coming.
Is that you coming?
I heard you were coming back around.
I hear you coming.
It'll be quite something
Oh I heard you were coming back around.

Little Kid Blues
03:08
|
|||
|
I'll meet you outside of the pool
One piece swimming suit
And I know you like to eat those crayons
Darling I understand
BecauseI want to be with you
Even though you've got little kid blues
I don't want to be your friend
All they do is pretend
I just want to be with you
She said it was cool
Because I want to be with you
Even though you've got little kid blues

Wedding Day
03:22
|
|||
|
Woke up on the titled squares
Scotch burning my eyes
And in my hair
You know she's gonna do me wrong
Put her name in another love song
So I've been down that long and winding road
Pawned her ring for a couple packs of smokes
Well she's gonna do me bad
She was the second best I've ever had
Oh lord what could I do
That priest is gonna marry you
So I sat and thought a long long while
As she gave me that adolescent smile
Well she's gonna do me bad
She was the second best I've ever had
Oh lord what could I do
That priest is gonna go and marry you

Green Hands
02:55
|

|
Why
Did you come?
I'm so young
Now those green hands
Are crawling at my walls
I
Don't want one
So why did you come
Those green hands
Crawling at my walls
She's going to get it out
She knows without a doubt
Cold hands on the phone
He said he'd get the cash
It was his last promise
But she's still all alone
Now those green hands
Crawling at my walls
She wants another route
So she can get it out
And she can go back home
He wants another chance
At true love romance
But she's still all alone
Why
Did you come?
I'm so young
Why
Why
Why
Why?
Those green hands
Crawling at my walls

Down by the Riverside
02:50
|
|||
|
So you heard it come across the radio
As the sheriff drove up and down that road
Take a walk with your mom's cigarette in your hand
Oh come on darling let me be your man
I don't know if I'm going home
Oh if I do be all alone
Take a walk down by the Riverside
Where dead men float who aren't alive
So you want to be the last to know?
Well then there's some place we've got to go
If you find something washed up on the sand
Don't look now
It's just a man
I don't know if I'm going home
Oh if I do be all alone
Take a walk down by the Riverside
Where dead men float who aren't alive

Sunday Afternoon
03:05
|
|||
|
You want to feel the real
Just like a steering wheel
You want to go so fast
Just like a heart attack
But I know
You're not going to get there soon
Slow down, son
It's Sunday afternoon

Little Indian Girl
02:36
|
|||
|
Oh little Indian girl
How'd you fall in love with the west?
Oh little Indian girl
I like your leather dress
Oh little Indian girl
How'd you keep those cowboys away
Oh little Indian girl
Once I come I'll know you'll stay
Yeah I'll make your heart okay
I'm not like all the rest

Let's Go To Church
02:43
|
|||
|
Mama said I'm going to the big house
Boy, you better put on a white shirt
Mama said I'm going to the big house
Lord oh lord don't let it hurt
It's coming around
That feeling under the ground
Don't you go and join that crowd
Smoked a lot out in the parking lot
Oh JC is holding my spot
Smoked a lot out in the parking lot
Oh he hates me a hell of a lot
You're feeling so proud
The feeling covers your mouth
You got to make the big man proud
Let's go to church
Fill up the basket for her
Let's go to church
Lord oh lord don't let it hurt
It's coming around
The sins are making you frown
You got to make the big man proud

Farmer's Daughter
03:47
|
|||
|
My baby's got two black eyes
Gone searching on the other side
Of love
Had a child and said it was mine
Farmer's daughter never tells no lies
That's right
Now she's walking down the street
Telling every pair of ears she meets
That's right
Ride I'll ride I'll ride I'll ride
I'll ride I'll ride I'll ride
I'll ride
