================================================== This morning I woke up to you But you weren't there to see me Reaching, searching for you And doing it hopelessly I can't be satisfied With holding you in my dreams One more lonely night Will be too long . . . But everything could've been Just like I wanted it to If I'd just opened my eyes I'd still have a girl That I could call my own If I'd just realized . . . What I should know by now; That love can take a boy by surprise And if he don't slow down It's gonna pass him right on by And it will fade away . . . And pretend like it never happened It will fade away . . . If you don't reach out & grab it It will fade away . . . And by the time you realize It's too late . . . Too late . . . This morning I woke up to you . . . =================================================

================================================== He died in my arms last night . . . He died in my arms last night . . . He died in my arms last night . . . But he's still alive . . . He's still alive . . . He's still alive . . . He's still alive! He's still alive!! He's still alive!!! But he died in my arms last night . . . ==================================================

=================================================== When the lights out And the day is done I often look back At what I have done And what I see there Gets me more confused I wonder if there's Anything I can use I wanna know If I'll be sure When the man Shows up at my door And when he gets there What will he say? I wonder if there'll Be anything left to say And when will I Get what I deserve; A reward That will strike a nerve? And when will anything Be worth it's truth? And why does everything Have to Have an excuse? It's not a question About what is real-- I'm not Gud Wilson Or Captain DEAL. With fame & fortune I get to flirt I wonder if then You'll feel my hurt And when will I Get what I deserve; A revelation That will strike a nerve? And when will anything Be worth it's truth? And why does everything Have to Have an excuse? Tell your excuses to me . . . To me . . . To me . . . To me . . . ===================================================

Fishin' Net 01:50
=================================================== These sunny days find That my destination Is calling to the shore But I've gotta catch so Many crustacean Before I get back home And lately I've been So tired Of drifting here Alone . . . But I've gotta Fill my fishin' net Before the next storm comes; I've only got a couple Hours to go Lately I've been So tired Of drifting here Alone . . . But I've gotta Fill my fishin' net Before the next storm comes; I've only got a couple Hours to go ===================================================

================================================== Slip on out of those clothes Leave the burdens for yesterday You know, it's so damn cold I feel it's getting warmer Women like to say, "Hi, how are you doing?" And I reply, "I'm just fine, Do you wanna get moving?" I know of places we can go to be Alone & look at the stars I believe we're meant to be More than what we are I'm in love with you . . . Fer tonight I'm in love with you . . . Fer tonight Then I wake up . . . And you don't look as pretty Then I wake up . . . And you don't look as pretty ==================================================

================================================== I roll into Woodfin Not a dime to my name The parking lot's empty Ain't that a shame? I work for Bud Corbin He gives me my pay But I go out & spend All the money I make It looks like Nothing's gonna Go my way . . . I guess I'll hang my head Next to this lonesome Weaverville Highway The sun is a-blazin' My clothes are a mess This day seems much longer Than all of the rest But I'll keep on a-workin' And goin' through Hell 'Til Bud starts a-ringin' That 5 o'clock bell Yes, it looks like Nothing's gonna Go my way . . . And I say: "I guess I'll hang my head Next to this lonesome Weaverville Highway!" It looks like Nothing's gonna Go my way. . . I guess I'll hang my head Next to this lonesome Weaverville Highway ==================================================

Without You 03:36
================================================= You said I was never open enough And you said I could never love true enough But when you slammed that door to your love I found out what I was made of Why this path, we had to choose? I don't know what I'm gonna do Here without you They said now I was finally free And they said you would come right back to me But for 4 days & 4 nights I've been forlorn & torn inside Nothing old & nothing new Would possibly see me through This life without you Without you . . . You can say just what you want But I know just what I want; You're the one that sees me through I don't know what I'm gonna do Here without you Without you . . . =================================================

Banana Slug 02:24
================================================== There once was a man named Lan Who lived on the street in a van The van was too small But that's nothing at all Because now he lives in a can ==================================================
10.
================================================= I was born in a cast-iron bathtub In a house of mortar & stone Upstairs I was everyone's favorite son Downstairs they left me alone And not too long after the fallout But a long time before the storm I bid a farewell to the state I'm from Sent to make Kentucky my home So if I come around tonight Please don't turn me away I'm a scared little boy On some lonely road And there's no place that I feel safe And the things I've loved And the things I've lost Are the same things now I find And the way I feel it's an awful sting But it's nobody's fault but mine And all there is is time . . . All I have is time . . . And all we need is time . . . =================================================

====================================== I can't help the way you feel Even though you don't exist On a plane like me And we're flying over to the Baltic Sea . . . You can't help the way I feel Even though I still exist On a plane like you Now it looks like we're both going too . . . And it's all I can do not to laugh It's a stroke of genius And it scares me to death But you're a stroke of genius And I can't help the way I feel . . . I can't help the way I feel Even though I still resist Every time you see me Walking through the door & I'm asleep . . . And it comes back to you Every time you're waking up In the afternoon 'Cause you slept all day just like the day before . . . It's all I can do not to laugh But it's a stroke of genius She's a nervous wreck And I'm a stroke of genius But I can't help the way you feel . . . And it's all I can do not to laugh But it's a stroke of genius And I love you to death But you're a stroke of genius And you can't help the way you feel . . . And it's all I can do not to laugh It's a stroke of genius You're a nervous wreck But I'm a stroke of genius And I can't help the way I feel . . . ======================================

================================================= Hi, my name is Crazy I'm the last living man on earth When my words come out They just don't go with the herd But remember when we die We're gonna live the same way And when that happens We'll be rotting in the same damn grave Hi, my name is Lazy I'm the poorest man on earth When I pull my pockets out There's nothing but dust & dirt But remember when we die We're gonna live the same way And when that happens Your money won't mean a thing =================================================

So dead I wish I could Still make believe That I'm not alive . . . My advice to you . . . (The other way) Would be to leave the lights on . . . (Is staring at you) Scientists have proof . . . (The other way) That it's safe to leave the lights on . . . (You know it's staring at you) My advice to you . . . (The other way) Would be to leave the lights on . . .

Scene-It 03:49
================================================== Looking down from someone's home above Pushing out what might have come to shove Slipping through the cracks that fill me up Looking down from someone's home . . . I've seen it for myself . . . I've seen it for myself . . . We've all been somewhere else I know . . . I've seen it for myself . . . Uh oh . . .

I've seen it for myself . . . We've all been someone else I know . . . I've seen it for myself . . . There you go . . . I've seen it for myself . . . I've seen it for myself . . .

================================================== Late detonation A dead invitation Came crawling along Kamikaze station With no reservation Or a one-eyed dog I told you one time That this is not mine to control; This bomb's a bitch Bound to explode!! The Baghdad Battery . . . The Baghdad Battery . . . Pink-eye probation The birth of a nation Like hitting the road I'm stuck in a basement I'm drawing a face with A stick in the mud And I've told you two times That this is not mine to control; This bomb's a bitch Ready to explode!! The Baghdad Battery . . . The Baghdad Battery . . . ==================================================
19.
================================================== The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible 'Cause it's the one thing telling me not to swear So if you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . . The last man I'm gonna run to is the butcher Unless I'm hungry, understand? Because the butcher is a man & I am a man And a man keeps his meat in his hand . . . Ajax, it smells like spring flowers I learned that from the bottle yesterday If spring flowers ever start to smell like Ajax I think that I will blow myself away . . . The last thing I'm gonna swear on is the Bible Because it's the one thing telling me not to swear So if you ask me to, I don't believe I will, sir Because in Heaven, there ain't no liars there . . . ==================================================
20.
================================================== Loving you I had a dream in my mind Wasting time away with you by my side Every day I'd spend with my best friend Memories like these cheer me up now & then . . . But looking back I see you with your hand in mine Wondering what you would find next to you And I couldn't help but open my heart To you at the same time that you did, too And we will never know a love so kind I wanted you for all time & I still do But now that everything has gone awry Welcome to the lonely life of a Fool that fell in love Every time I see you out & about How I wish that things could've worked themselves out Nothing seems to bring your love back to me Well I guess some things are just meant to be . . . But looking back I see you with your hand in mine Wondering what you might find next to you And I couldn't help but open my heart To you at the same time that you did, too And we will never know a love so kind I wanted you for all time & I still do But now that everything has gone awry Welcome to the lonely life of a Fool that fell in love ==================================================

======================================

Late detonation
A dead invitation
Came crawling along

Kamikaze station
With no reservation
Or a one-eyed dog

I told you one time
That this is not mine to control;
This bomb's a bitch
Bound to explode!!

The Baghdad Battery . . .

The Baghdad Battery . . .

Pink-eye probation
The birth of a nation
Like hitting the road

I'm stuck in a basement
I'm drawing a face with
A stick in the mud

And I've told you two times
That this is not mine to control;
This bomb's a bitch
Ready to explode!!

The Baghdad Battery . . .

The Baghdad Battery . . .
