Build A Home
03:17

You got nickles, I got dimes
You got space, I got time
You'll get the flesh and I'll get the bones
Come on honey let's build a home
You got rice, I got beans
You get plans, I got dreams
You'll get the bread and I'll get the corn
Come on honey let's build a home
You got a bucket and I got a hose
You got the powder and I got the nose
And late at night when that cool wind blows
Please don't let me overdose
Well you don't smoke in bed, You don't step on my toes
You got your hair where it belongs
Your heart's not even made of stone
Come on honey let's build a home

Conscious Too Long
03:22
|
|||
I've been trying so hard thinking what I should do
Been looking at mirrors searching for clues
But it's too long now that I've been thinking of you
And it's too long now I've been stirring this stew
And I don't know why it is that I would never belong
Oh lord I've been conscious too long
Well I've seen the psychiatrists squinting their eyes
And I lied to the shrinks about when I was a child
And I've seen the magicians sweat on their cards
I could be one of them if only I tried
And I don't know why it is that I would never belong
Oh lord I've been conscious too long
Went down too many roads made too many bad turns
I could'a been somewhere if only I'd stayed
Read too many books, learned too many words
I sure know the difference between a fish and a bird
But I don't know why it is that I am always alone
Oh lord I been conscious too long
Well the dolphins they click and the pigeons they coo
And the lions they roar and the cattle they moo
And the rooster says cock-a-doodle-doo
And the pigs and the chickens they just give you the flu
And me I'm still stuck on this old crooked song
Oh lord I've been conscious too long

Keep On Lying
05:03
|
|||
I stood by you when you were on your knees
I picked your wounds and I have picked your flees
I've waited for you to open up your eyes
Now you're all cleaned up and I got left behind
Thought that we were special, thought we'd be allright
Thought you'd come around in just a matter of time
Now I might look strong but this is just my pride
Might see me laughing but I am dead inside
I got a mind to keep on running
I got a mind to get away
I got a mind to keep on lying
Keep on lying to myself

To The Mountains
03:14
|
|||
I'm going to the mountains, I know the end is near
Come with me lover, I'd hate to leave you here
Didn't we have enough of this city of tears
Friendly painted faces with knives up their sleeves
The knives are in your head love, the mountain's just a dream
The city don't cry, it's just what you choose to see
Wherever you go you'll always have to wear your skin
And I'm tired of waiting for your life to begin

Sad Sad Girl
04:39
|

Sad sad girl, sad sad girl
Wish that I could read your mind
Sad sad girl, sad sad girl
Wish that I could fix your heart
Well I ain't no doctor, You can tell me where it hurts
And I ain't your mother and I won't tell nobody else
And I ain't your father, I can keep it in my pants

Show Me The Way
02:18
|
|||
Show me the way and I will follow
Show me the way back home
There's only so much that I can swallow
You know I ain't done nobody wrong
Show me the way and I'll follow
I'm tired of trying to make it on my own
If you'll be my ride I'll be your hobo
You know I won't do you no wrong
Show me an honest way of living
Show me the way back home
I'm sick of feeling so shallow
I can feel my heart is turning cold

Take Your Time
03:26
|
|||
Take your time, take your time…..
Check the water, one foot at a time
Check the ground, take your time
Lay your head down, take a rest
close your eyes, Take your time
Everybody wants a piece of your pie, so don't rush in, take your time
If I didn't come so early you wouldn't be so late
That's allright baby, I got plenty on my plate
So you can take your time
Take your time, take your time
Take your time but don't take mine

This Far Behind
03:59
|
|||
I'm climbing up the mudslide on my hands and knees
Untangling my tongue ties, holding on to trees
There's a frog inside my throat now and it starts to sing
There's a voice inside my head and it won't let me think
saying I never thought you'd get this far behind
Ain't it strange the way the darkness glows?
Like a bug into the fire I go
I'm climbing up the mudslide on my hands and knees
Untangling my tongue ties, holding on to trees
I never thought I'd get this far behind

Blame
05:11
|
|||
You can blame it on your brother, blame it on your ma
You can blame it on your sister, blame it on your pa
You can blame it on the TV, blame it on your kids
Blame it on society, blame it on your friends
You can blame it on your woman, blame it on your man
But when it comes down to it you know you only got yourself to blame
It's a mighty heavy burden to know you're all alone
It's a mighty hard battle you've been fighting for too long
Don’t you know just where you're going?
Don't you know that you can't win?
You can tell it on the mountain
You can tell it to the sea
You can go out in the forest and tell it to the trees
But nothing seems to work and the pain just doesn't cease
So you can blame it on your parents, blame it on your friends
Blame it on your woman, blame it on your man
But when it comes down to it you know you only got yourself to blame
