I been feeling like a car that's been swerving between the lanes
and maybe its the one behind the wheel that needs to change
or maybe I'm just too forgone and don't know how to say it
I know I gotta find my way before it gets too late
Well maybe its the pounding or the writing on the wall
I been partying so long it ain't a party much at all
wake up every morning barely make it into work
just trying not to think about the way your head will hurt
PRECHORUS
And I don't know quite how things got where they are now
but I gotta hope there's more than one way out...
CHORUS
I don't know when or how its all going to end
but I gotta find my way out before then (2X)
Hey everybody stop it I heard something at the door
I been partying so long it ain't a party anymore
does it mean you got a problem when you gotta stop and think
when you ask yourself the last time that you went without a drink

In Your Own

Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me
its right there where you left it on display
and I don't even know what for, you're stranger to me anymore
are memories so easy to ignore?
When you're a legend in your own eyes
and your heart is beating two timed
yeah you're a legend in your own eyes
and your heart is beating two timed
Finally found the words to say, it felt just like you murdered me
I'm here to charge you in the third degree
but you're just waiting for some creep, who would sweep you off your feet
and lift the rug and sweep me underneath
CHORUS
Finally found the heart to say, you ruined every part of me
but I found out today you'd moved away
and never told me where you went I guess that shows how much I meant
I sit here trying to make sense but I can't

Jackalyn
Jackalyn, yea I wonder where you been
you vanished in thin air
on the floor no one knows you anymore
its like you were never there
Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
Jackalyn, yea I wonder where you been
its been a year come spring
at the shows, I’m always looking for you though
I never hear a thing
Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
where you been?

Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
Jackalyn, Jackalyn, Jackalyn
yea I wonder where you been
where you been?
where you been?
where you been?

Little Urchin Doll

Something bout it sounds unromantic
The way that I didn’t get your name
Or maybe that’s exactly how you planned it
And that would mean there’s no one left to blame
Something bout that chip on your shoulder
The way you like to wear it on your sleeve
it must feel good but anybody older
will only find it harder to believe
CHORUS:
I can see the writing on the wall
Even if you've written it so small
In your unintelligible scrawl
Little urchin doll, no no no
something bout the way that you kissed me
the way that you bit down on my lips
and if you never care enough to miss me
you sure left something sticking in my ribs

Labor Day
G D G
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
C G
With my mind about a thousand miles away
C Em
contemplating all of the things I just cant say
G D G
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day
I been thinking of it ever since july
When I came home to find my house was full of flies
And I kinda thought by now they’d all have died
I been thinking of it ever since july
Its like a plague is hanging over me
I can feel it as it kills me by degrees
Like a cat upon my chest while I’m asleep
Its like a plague is hanging over me
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
Bearing witness to my body’s slow decay
But somebody said it all will be ok
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day

Such
02:26

When I was a boy of five, I figured when I learned to drive, nothing'd keep me from this life
walking with my head held down on the streets of my hometown, nothing changed from then to now
its ordinary's all you say (3x)
its ordinary...
Because when I look back on the past I think how different I'd act but is that really such a fact?
because my own private history is really just a myth for me and I'm just who I used to be
There's this time I can recall, I thought I'd call her just to talk, admit that it was all my fault
but it didn't happen then and not a week has gone by since when I ain't thought of her again

Son of Captain Obvious
02:51
|

I'm the son of captain obvious
and I'm trying so hard to put a stop to this
and one night the sky will fall on us
so it don't make much sense to be an optimist
I'm the son of the atom bomb
and I'm trying my hardest just to make myself calm
every night has to have its pawn
and its starting to seem as if its over and done
and the road that made all the difference
was the path of the least resistance
roads diverged off into the distance
and I was fixed in with my decisions
I'm the son of a nuclear whore
and I'm trying my hardest just to not get divorced
every night you tell me how you're sore
and its getting to be too much for me to ignore

Main Line Cops
Well now all the way from cityline down into wayne
all the barflies gotta take the r5 train
cuz they all lost their licenses to drive through town
cuz the cops around here, they don’t fuck around, man
if you’ve had a beer or a whiskey shot
you’ll get busted by the main line cops
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
Well the area they’re from doesn’t have much crime
so they got nothing better to do with their time
so now if you’re getting hammered at the Rusty Nail
well I hope that you’re prepared to spend the night in jail, man
don’t you cross that line, don’t run that stop
you’ll get busted by the main line cops
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
don’t even risk it if you’ve only had a drop
you’ll still get busted by the main line cops
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
yea the main line cops, main line cops yea
don’t get stopped by main line cops yea
