Scotty said to call him on Tuesday
But not until afternoon
He's gonna try to find us something
But he's already booked through June
It's Sunday morning and my mouth tastes like an ashtray soaked in beer
And it smells like something died in here
Playing the Tommy Tucker Lounge
To some jerks who gave us shit in school
"Hey man, we didn't know you played,
Dude, that's really cool"
Well, if you feel like that, you can buy me a drink,
'coz we're only gettin' the door
And you're not what I came here for
Why why why even try?
Dyin' all week long just for Saturday night
Drove all the way to Portland
Hit a blizzard at the state line
Played to half a dozen die-hards
Who drank themselves half blind
Spent a whole week wrestling with this pen,
Trying to get these words right...
Why why why even try?
Dyin' all week long just for Saturday night
Why why why
Independant record store, college radio
And the guy at the Globe said he wants to catch our next show
We can play Rockwood on Thursday
But we've gotta go on at eight
And we've gotta guarantee to draw forty
Or we're not getting paid
Why why why even try?
Living all your life just for Saturday night
Why why why
Why why why
Why why why
Even try?

All My Better Years
03:06
|

You should have seen me in my time
I leapt tall buildings single bound
Stronger than old Jack LaLanne
Faster than the speed of sound
All my better years
Up and disappeared
In the morning I'm all aches and pains
Getting dressed I may well break my neck
It's twenty minutes 'fore I see straight
But I get in cheap at the multiplex
All my better years
Up and disappeared
Wasn't twenty-one just yesterday
They said it would fly by
In the mirror the face I see's
A stranger to my eyes
If you had known me in my time
Would you recognize me now
That boy exists still in my mind
Still faster than the speed of sound
All my better years
Up and disappeared
All my better years
Up and disappeared
Hey hey!
Hey hey!

There's a heart I cannot hide
There's a beat I can't deny
When it sings, when it lies
When it cheats, when it bribes
There's a war inside my core
I hear it fight, I hear it roar
Go ahead, go ahead
Lay your head where it burns
Even though it hurts
Even though it scars
Love me when it storms
Love me when I fall
Every time it breaks
Every time its torn
Love me like I'm not made of stone
Love me like I'm not made of stone
Devil's hand cross my heart
As we dance through the dark
Go ahead, go ahead
Love me deep until you can't
Even though it hurts
Even though it scars
Love me when it storms
Love me when I fall
Every time it breaks
Every time its torn
Love me like I'm not made of stone
Love me like I'm not made of stone
Love me all until it heats,
Will you love me hard so I can heal
Even though it hurts, baby, scars
Love me when I fall
Breaks, baby, it's torn baby
Every storm
Love me like I'm not made of stone
Love me like I'm not made of stone

I don't wanna feel this anymore
Don't wanna see this anymore
Days never end, the night's even longer
I look around and everything's wrong here
I don't understand this anymore
Don't understand this anymore
All through your life you try to follow the rules
But they change every day and you've been let out of school
And every day I wonder, busy brain and thunder
What it's gonna come to now
Maybe it's time to
I think it's time to
It's time to go to ground
And every day I wonder, busy brain and thunder
What it's gonna come to now
Maybe it's time to
I think it's time to
It's time to go to ground
I don't wanna see it anymore
Can't stand to see this anymore
Children are bloodied, broken and torn
Out on the town and in their own homes
And I don't wanna see this anymore
Don't understand it anymore
Don't wanna feel this anymore

April said, no than you
I'm flattered, but no thank you
Don't call again
No thank you, but no
I'm not dressed for anyone
But myself
Not anyone I don't know
Not anyone else
April said just leave me
April said believe me
When I say don't touch me
Don't stand and stare
She don't care
What you heard about her out there
What you think about, she don't share
Can't she just be?
So please don't write
Or send your picture
Or assume all pretty girls are fools
This is not something new
April said Just leave me
April said believe me
You don't even know me
So don't you say I'm being unfair
April said just leave me
Why won't you believe me
When I say don't touch me
Don't touch me there
She said no
She said no
She said no
She said STOP

Feel like I'm swimming upstream
Struggling 'gainst some demon tide
All the terrors come at night
I wake up paralyzed
The monsters we were told were fake
Live in my bones
Wo, every step we take
We don't take alone
No picture postcards, paperweights
Don't need no souvenirs
No handful of forget-me-nots
Will make the timeline clear
Some folks would rather want than have
That's how they dance
'Coz when you have the things you want
Those things lose their romance
CHORUS
And everybody's living at the top, wo oh
Everybody's living at the top, hey now
Everybody's living at the top
Everyone gets their shot
And the things that you do
They come back on you
And everybody's living at the top
Until the music stops
Dark cloud 'round my soul
And still I tell myself it's fine
My brains replaying memories
That aren't even mine
A box of letters stained with age
Have been rearranged
To tell a different story every day
Still that shit turns out the same
CHORUS Repeat
Close you eyes and visualize the future that you seek
Some mystic mumbo jumbo
Meant to calm you, to disarm you
Keep you pacified and weak
Rainy days and Mondays
Bring her up, don't get her down
It's like summer vacation
Any time that she's around
I fell into the bluest eyes
I've been synthesized
Ever morning when I rise
And she's still by my side
CHORUS Repeat
Hey yeah yeah
Everybody's living at the top 'til the music stops, oh yeah eah eah eah
Everybody's living at the top until the music... stops

Forward Motion
03:08

I suppose we were young
I suppose we were sincere
We were desperate for love
If that ain't the truth, it's pretty near
I was grieving, I was lost
A twist of fate and our paths crossed
When you've got nothing it's so easy to believe
We fell hard, we fell fast
Felt so sure this love would last
We were flying down that highway
Riding high and low on gas
But the signs were all wrong
We should have seen it all along
Forward motion swept us right into the ditch
Break away, break away
Took so long to break away
And I find my take away's
Poor compensation for all the years
Well the signs were all wrong
We should have seen it all along
Forward motion drove us right into the ditch
Break away, break away
Took so long to break away
And I find my take away's
Poor compensation for all the tears
Well the signs were all wrong
We should have seen it all along
Forward motion drove us right into the ditch
Forward motion drove us right into the ditch
Oh, forward motion drove us right into the ditch

New York Ave.

There's a scrawny ginger hanging at the 7-11
Begging change on the sidewalk out front
His mother went to Smith, and her son's eating bugs on a dare
And there are rich kids fighting in the parking lot almost every night
A Pontiac bench seat will do for a twin
Down at the harbour there's a lover's lane
And there's always one chick sounds like she's having a fit,
And making a scene
For all the hungry couples sweatin' in the dark
Bar-hopping', pill-poppin'
Burger joints and record shops
And you can get a sweet deal on a vintage guitar
'Cross from the Cinnamon bar
Old crazy Larry's ragin' down on the corner near railroad station,
By the taxi stand
And no ones really sure anymore if it's the booze or if it's Viet Nam
And the cabbies all charge him double when his check come in
Wo, Little Vincent's extra cheese stays open 'til midnight
And if you want you can get Greek 'til ten
And when the Paramount crowd gets really loud
It sounds just like Times Square then
And some frat boy's pukin' in the gutter
On New York Avenue
New York Avenue
New York Avenue
You'll wind up black and blue on New York Avenue
New York Avenue
New York Avenue
It'll leave you black and blue

Tomorrow
02:40
|

If you walk along the river cattails swaying on a sunny day
And you see those sheers shimmer, you know summer's on the way
Oh, I don't think too much about what tomorrow's got in store
I don't think much 'bout tomorrow anymore
AIn't it crazy how the ocean follows you onto slide ground
The waves against the shoreline whisper such a peaceful sound
Oh, I don't think too much about what tomorrow's got in store
I don't think much 'bout tomorrow anymore
In my bed tonight
In my head tonight
I walk into the forest, see a pile of message stones
I add our name to lovers left to gather in the loam
Oh, I don't think too much about what tomorrow's got in store
I don't think much 'bout tomorrow anymore
I don't think much 'bout tomorrow anymore
Anymore
Anymore

Goodbye Mama
02:47
|
|||
Was half asleep
A midnight call came bringing thunder
Set fire to out lives
Shook the bedrock beneath our feet
What can we do
No place to hide, so deep within it
So much on my mind
Cheated out of their fare thee wells
So goodbye mama, and
Goodbye papa
I guess its time to go
How could we have known
Oh wo, mama goodbye
It's getting late
Hold my hand, we'll go together
The wind runs through my hair
I pray I fly upon angels' wings
So goodbye mama, and
Goodbye papa
I guess its time to go
How could we have known
Oh wo, mama goodbye
So goodbye mama, and
Goodbye papa
I guess its time to go
How could we have known
Oh wo, mama goodbye
Oh wo, mama goodbye
Oh wo, mama goodbye

Someday Gina
04:09
|

Gina's wild, she's only sixteen, but she's got desperate dreams
J comes 'round in his busted blue jeans and he reads of gasoline
And they stay in whenever they can
And he kisses her cheek and he holds her hand and says
Someday Gina, we'll be married
Someday Gina, we're gonna be happy
Someday Gina, the night is still young
Someday
It's two weeks sine the line's been pink, there's thunder in her chest
She shudders, sighs, looks in their eyes and says I'm pregnant, I guess
Oh mommy please, you don't understand
He kisses my cheek and he holds my hands and says
Someday Gina, we'll be married
Someday Gina, we're gonna be happy
Someday Gina, the night is still young
Someday
We'll walk out in the rain tonight and wash our sins away
I promise things won't seem as bad come the light of day
Oh Gina don't you cry
His love will never die
But now you must decide
Do you want him deep inside
Do you want him now
Now they get out whenever they can
And he kisses her cheek and he holds her hand and says
Someday Gina, we'll be married
Someday Gina, we're gonna be happy
Someday Gina, the night is still young
Someday
Someday Gina, we'll be married
Someday Gina, we're gonna be happy
Someday Gina, the night is still young
Someday
The night is still young, someday
The night is still young, someday
The night is still young, someday
The night still is, the night is still young
The night still is, the night is still young
The night still is, the night is still young

When the night falls so hard
Like a hammer in your heart
And you feel you can't stay
Can't get through another day
Don't despair, shed your tears
We're altogether here
Riding blind, riding free, riding on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on bring all your favourite songs
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on sing all your favourite songs
When the day comes too soon
It comes creeping in your room
And the things you wish you'd said
Are still racing in your head
Let 'em go, start anew
There's noting you can't do
Riding hard, riding free, riding on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on bring all your favourite songs
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on sing all your favourite songs
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on bring all your favourite songs
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on sing all your favourite songs
When the night falls so hard
Like a hammer in your heart
When you feel you can't stay
Can't get through another day

Come on, come on
Come on bring all your favourite songs
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on sing all your favourite songs

Come on, come on

Come on sing all your favourite songs
All your favourite songs
All your favourite songs
All your favourite songs
