Lyrics

Fine place for a day full of breakdowns-
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how-
Throw a ta(c)k on the road, stop the meatplow-
Got a bullet but it ain't mine.

They got these pictures of everything-
To break us down, yeah to break me down-
They make us hate and we make it bleed.

But I got a lover and yeah
She shows me how,
To understand it, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well 
He shows me how,
To make amends, yeah to make amends with it.

Take a break from the mousetrap we call home-
Takes more than a message to make me smile-
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping-
But not when the news is on.

Lyrics

One time a thing occured to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone

Flies in the vasoline we are  
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time

(chorus)

You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies, and you will.

Lyrics

It's ok, it's ok, ok relieve me
Pins in me, pins in me, in me you kill me
The lounge fly, the lounge fly, the fly you bring me
I think I'm free but the dogs they won't release me
Don't have a nickel or a dollar but you feed me
My bottle's empty but you always refuel me
I feel I'm sinking but you won't let me drown me
I wanna f@(*, wanna f@(* but do you need me?

I can't give what I take away, and the other understands
She said she'd be my woman, she said she be my man
I can't live this way
Please refill my soul

(verse)

(chorus)

Said she'd be my woman...she said she'd* but do you need me?



I can't give what I take away, and the other understands

She said she'd be my woman, she said she be my man

I can't live this way

Please refill my soul



(verse)



(chorus)



Said she'd be my woman...she said she'd be my woman, said she'd be my man

(solo 1) -Dean takes one of his quirky (awesome) trademark solos...

Lyrics  (some of my favorite!)

(intro, followed by riff a)

Waiting, on a Sunday afternoon,         
For what I read between the lines-your lies.
Feeling, like a hand in rusted shame,
So do you laugh or does it cry?
Reply.

(riff a)

Leaving on a Southern train
Only yesterday you lied, 
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by, 
All of these things you said to me.

(riff a)

Breathing, is the hardest thing to do, 
With all I've said and all that's dead for you, 
You lied-Goodbye.

(chorus)

Lyrics

Driving faster in my car
Falling farther from just what we are
Smoke a cigarette and lie some more
These conversations kill
Falling faster in my car

Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden
Time to take a ride, it leaves today, no conversation
Time to take her home, her dizzy head is conscience-laden
Time to wait too long, to wait too long, to wait too long

Too much walking, shoes worn thin
Too much trippin', and my soul's worn thin
Time to catch a ride, it leaves today, her name is what it means
Too much walking, shoes worn thin

(chorus)

Conversations kill, Conversations kill...
