CORDUROY
[Chicago]
the waiting drove me mad
you're finally here and i'm a mess
i take your entrance back
can't let you roam inside my head
i don't want to take what you can give
i would rather starve than eat your bread
i would rather run but i can't walk
guess i'll lie alone just like before
i'll take the varmint's path
oh, and i must refuse your test
push me and i will resist
this behavior's not unique
i don't want to hear from those who know
they can buy but can't put on my clothes
i don't want to limp for them to walk
never would have known of me before
i don't want to be held in their debt
i'll pay it off in blood let i be wed
i'm already cut up and half dead
we'll end up alone like we began
everything has chains...absolutely nothing's changed
"take my hand, not my picture," spill my tincture
i don't want to take what you can give
i would rather starve than eat your breast
all the things that others want for me
can't buy what i want because it's free
can't buy what i want because it's free
can't be what they want because i...
i ain't supposed to be just fun
yeah, but to be tried or be a judge
i figure i'll be damned...all alone like i began
GIVEN
TO FLY [East Lansing
18.08.98]
could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out
a bad time nothing could save him
alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
he got up out of there ran for hundreds of miles
made it to the ocean had a smoke in a tree
the wind rose up set him down on his knee
a wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
deliver him wings, "hey, look at me now!"
arms wide open with the sea as his floor
oh, now now, oh...he's flying whole...high...wide...oh...
floated back down cause he wanted to share
this key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere
but first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed, by faceless men
well fuckers, he still stands
and he still gets his love he just gives it away
the love he receives is the love that is saved
and sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
a human being that was given to fly
he's flying whole...high...why? oh he's flying...oh, he's whole...Oh...
HAIL HAIL [Sacramento 16.07.98]
ah, is there room for both of us? ah, both of us apart?
are we bound out of obligation? is that all we've got?
i kiss the earth and then i get to thinking
i don't want to think i want to feel
oh how do i feel? and fucking how do i...
like you're the only one and i'll never be enough, yeah
hail, hail, the lucky ones...i refer to those in love, yeah
i swore i'd love you til the day i die...oh and beyond
oh are we going to the same place? if so can i come?
it's egg rolling thick and heavy...all the past we carry
oh, i could be new...you underestimate me
if you're the only one will i never be enough, yeah
hail, hail, the lucky ones...i refer to those in love, yeah
i sometimes realize that i could only be as good as you'll let me
oh, are you woman enough to be my man? bandaged hand in hand
i find it on the run in a race that can't be won, yeah
hail, hail, the lucky ones...i refer to those in love, yeah
if you're my only one...i want to be your one
i want to be the one...enough, you win.
enough, you won
DAUGHTER [Washington DC 19.09.98]
alone, listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
young girl, violins...center of her own attention, no, no
mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it
tries to make her proud, yeah
the shades go down into her head
painted room...can't deny there's something wrong
don't call me daughter...not fit to
the picture kept will remind me
don't call me daughter...not fit to

the shades go down
the shades go down

i see a girl of the night with a baby in her hand
under an old street light...oh, next to a garbage can
now she's put her kid away...she's going to get a hit
she hates her life and what she's done with it
that's one more kid that will never go to school,
never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
that's one more kid that will never go to school,
never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
he won the lotery when he was born, yeah

ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
[West Palm Beach 23.09.98]
i seem to recognize your face
haunting familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place
i wish i'd seen the place but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away
i swear i recognize your breath
memories, like fingerprints, are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall for i'm not my former
it's odd when your stuck upon the shelf
i changed by not changing at all
small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream hello
oh my god its been too long...never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are and here i am
oh, hearts and thoughts they fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade...fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade away
hearts and thoughts they fade
fade away...
fade away...
fade away...
UNTITLED [Columbia 18.09.98]
got a car...i got some gas
oh, let's get out of here...get out of here fast
ah, everyone's confused so i stay in my room
if i go, i don't want to go alone
i hope you got this message...oh, you're not home
i could be there in ten minutes, or so
oh, i got my things
we'll make it up as we go along
oh, with you i could never be alone
never be alone
MFC [East Troy 27.06.98]
sliding out of reverse into drive
this wheel will be turning right, then straight
off in the sunset she'll ride
she can remember a time, denied
stood by the side of the road
now she's out on...out on her own and line high
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
she's disappeared, now
they said that timing was everything
made him want to be everywhere
there's a lot to be said for nowhere
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
he's disappeared now
there's no leaving here
ask i'm an ear
fuck it...we'll disappear, now

i swear i never took it for granted, just thought of it now
suppose i abused you...just passing it on
go, fuck...
once fastened, servile, now you're getting sharp
moving oh so swiftly with such disarm

RED MOSQUITO [Camden 29.08.98]
watched out the window with a red mosquito
i was not allowed to leave the room
i saw the sun go down and now it's coming up
somewhere in the time between i was bitten
must have been the devil
he was just paying me a little visit
reminding me of his presence
and letting me know he's a waiting
red man's your neighbor...call it behavior
while you're climbing up slippery hills
two steps ahead of him...punctures in your neck
hovering just above your bed
hovering just above your bed
i was bitten...must have been the devil
he was just paying me a little visit
reminding me of his presence
and letting me know he's a waiting
always waiting
if i had known then what i know now
if i had known then what i know now
if i had known then what i know now
if i had known then what i know now

OFF HE GOES [Los Angeles 14.07.98]
know a man...his face seen pulled and tense
like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax, but he's always moving much too fast
said he'll see me on the flipside of this trip he's taking for a ride
he's been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
and there he goes
he's yet to come back but i've seen his picture
it doesn't look the same up on the rack
oh, we go way back
i wonder about his insides
it's like his thoughts are too big for his size
he's been taken, where i don't know
there he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes
oh, and now i rub my eyes for he has returned
it seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...and he's still strong
nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit...that has grown
oh, and now he's home and we're laughing like we always did my same old,
same old friend
until a quarter to ten...i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is going to happen next
before his first step he is off again.
here we go
NOTHINGMAN [Kansas City 03.07.98]
once divided there's nothing left to subtract
some words when spoken can't be taken back
walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking
future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
caught a bolt of lightning...cursed the day he let it go
nothingman...
nothingman...
isn't it something, nothingman?
she once believed in every story he had to tell
one day she stiffened...oh yeah...took the other side
empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell
one just escapes...one's left inside...oh well
and he who forgets will be destined to remember...oh, oh, woh...
nothingman...
nothingman...
yeah, isn't it something, nothingman?
oh, she don't want him
oh, she won't feed him after he's flown away...yeah
oh, into the sun...yeah, into the sun
burn, burn, oh burn...

BETTER MAN [Rapid City 24.06.98]
waiting, watching the clock, it's four o'clock
it's got to stop...tell him...take no more
she practices her speech as he opens the door, she rolls over
pretends to sleep as he looks her over
she lies and says she's in love with him...can't find a better man
she dreams in color, she dreams in red...can't find a better man
can't find a better man
can't find a better man
ohh...
talking to herself, "there's no one else who needs to know," she tells
herself
memories back when she was sure and strong and waiting for the world to
come along
swears she knew him now she swears he's gone
she lies and says she's in love with him...can't find a better man
she dreams in color, she dreams in red...can't find a better man
she lies and says she still loves him...can't find a better man
she dreams in color, she dreams in red...can't find a better man

BLACK [Virgina Beach]
yeah...oh yeah
sheets of empty canvas...untouched sheets of clay, yeah
laid spread out before me as her body once did...yeah
all five horizons revolved around her soul...as the earth to the sun
now the air i tasted and breathed has taken a turn
ooh, and all i taught her was everything...that's all
ooh, i know she gave me all that she wore, yeah
and now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything
all the pictures have all been washed in black...tattooed everything
i take a walk outside..i'm surrounded by some kids at play
oh, i can feel their laughter...oh, so why do i swear?
ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head, yeah
i'm spinning...oh, i'm spinning
how quick the sun can drop away
and now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
all the pictures have all been washed in black...tattooed everything
all the love gone bad turned my world to black
tattooed all i see...all that i am...all i'll be, yeah
i know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star
in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, can't it be mine?
FUCKIN' UP [Boston 15.09.98]
lonely drifter on the hill...why do i?
one must have a heart of steel...why do i?
it's not how you look but how you feel...why do i?
you must have a heart of steel...why do i?
why do i keep fucking up?
i can see you on the hill...why do i?
all comatose but walking still...why do i?
flowing curves beneath your flowing gown...why do i?
oh, only i can bring myself down...why do i?
why do i keep fucking up?
bowman's pick and dogs that bite...why do i?
oh, dogs that howl through the night...why do i?
oh, broken leashes all over the floor...why do i?
keys left hanging in a swinging door...why do i?
why do i keep fucking up?
