Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents
Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me the a light bulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air

Chorus:
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the dogman

Give me some attention lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Give me a book, give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead

Chorus:
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the dogman

All the sleeping never waking
All the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking
All my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts are mind are surely flaking
Over luncheons hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking
Cars and horns and glass is breaking

Give me a color make it black or white
Give me a newspaper tell me if it's right
Give me a nail or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat

Chorus:
Remembering the times I pray
To let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
To help me deal with me.....
To help me deal with me.....
To be the dogman

There can be but better ways
From yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days
For better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways
Of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing
To live and live some more

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I woke up early one morning
Like I'd been under a spell
Gazed into the mirrored reflection
Said I had to do it or else

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah


ooooooohhh!!
Things are true

There can be but better ways
From yesterdays to me
Somewhere there are better days
For better ways to be
Sunny days have funny ways
Of quieting the roar
Is it still a blessed thing
To live and live some more

Chorus:
And I'm left with the truth
And I'm right in my mind
Given some of the time
Maybe never!!!
So I walk in these shoes
When I feel it's the blues
If it ain't it will do
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

. . .


You took away from me
I tried to get it back
And if you lie to me
I keep it to myself
A trick or treat but then
That don't make it right
I can't remember when
I could say goodnite
Then something comes into my head
And then a change
I work it out somehow
I guess I've got my ways
But then I wonder how did I get it wrong
It doesn't matter now

Chorus:
I pretend.
I pretend.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I take the longest walks
They always do me good
I just indulge myself
In sorrow singing blues
But then I have to laugh
Cause it's an outlet too
And if I add it all
It still just wouldn't do
I've come to realize
There's nothing I can lose
So I control myself
Nothing else to do
I'll just remember when
It comes around again
I'd rather be alone
I won't get hurt again

Chorus:
I pretend
I pretend
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Solo

Then something comes
Into my head and then a change
I work it out somehow
I guess I've got my ways
I take the longest walks
It always does me good
I just control myself

Chorus:
I pretend
I pretend
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
(repeat and fade)

. . .


There's a thought in my mind
And there's nothing not far behind
There's a road, there's a path
There's a freeway and there's a map

Chorus:
There are flies and blue skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

There's a fog in my mind
And there's nothing too far behind
There is wrong there is right
There is peace and there's a fight

Chorus:
There is life, there is death
And the difference between either one
Is one single breath
There are flies and blue skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

Solo

Chorus:
There are flies and blues skies
And the just and the unjust all walk
Side by side
Side by side

. . .


OK so it can't be right
I cry and try and think and fight
OK so I need some help
But they can't fix the way I feel

Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain

Chorus:
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)

OK so I don't think like
You do it's not my fault
Ok I still try to find
That fitting missing part

Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain

Chorus:
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)

Solo

Something keeps me hanging round
I guess my mother made me strong
Crawling thru this jungle from
This puzzle I come from

Just one day, just one second
Maybe just a minute feel no pain

Chorus:
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)
Oh!! I walk the line
Black the sky
(Black the sky)

. . .


As I wondered,
Walking along on a lazy path
I shook a hand,
He seemed to know so much more
So I listened,
Tried my best just to understand
Then I followed
To where I knew nothing of.

Over the hill, come see the thrill awaiting you
There's so much more, go thru the door

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything,
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
And don't ever think you'll see another friend
(See another friend)

Time went on,
We were freinds of different kind
But something there
Always tearing apart
Standing tall
On a surface of glass and rain
We travelled on
With a hope and a prayer

Over the hill, come see the thrill awaiting you
There's so much more, go thru the door

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
And don't ever think you'll find a better friend

(break)

Chorus:
Walk in the big parade
Learn just what to say
They will all try to fool you
Don't believe anything
I'm your everything
They will all try to fool you
(repeat chorus)

And don't ever think that I could do you wrong

. . .


Lies, games, webs of pain
Giving, taking, oh abuse
Contention, extension, I will not be shamed
Crossing bridges I'm on the way

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I just care about....

Blind, find, piece of mind
I've never what it really is
Intention, rejection, little left away
Crossing the bridge I'm on my way

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
(I just don't care like I used to)
I just care about you.

Such a tossing to and fro
It's become clear to me
I just want to see the real........
From the fantasy

Chorus:
I just don't care like I used to
I don't care about you
I just don't care like I used to
I just care about you.

Ohhhhh!! Yeahhh!!
I don't care about you
(repeat)

. . .


There's a thorn in my side
And I feel like I'm standing
In the middle of a battlefield
Oh Lord I try

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye

The pain it comes and goes
I always let myself down
How does the letting go
It's just that way

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye

It takes time a friend of mine
Who's fallen down a million times told me
Told me!!!!
Feelings never go away
You have to learn to live this way
And keep yourself alive
(That's what he said)

Solo

Chorus:
I walk thru sunshine rain
I-I-I, In every forest there's a snake
And the apple of my eye
(repeat chorus 2x)

Ozone disappearing in the sky
Bud man asking us why ask why
If I could find my magazine
This bug would die
I complain
China boy standing up to a tank
Southern boy living in the house of yanks
If I can't see to get my motorbike to crank
I compain

Chorus:
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier, easier

Small kid begging for a crumb of bread
Next kid bloated lying nearly dead
I wonder what to take
For my aching head
I complain
Lots of people crying for a little rain
Whole nation learning how to live in pain
I don't know how
I'm gonna clean this little stain
I complain

Chorus:
Complain, so much easier
I Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
I complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, complain

Solo

Black man singing Mississippi blues
Africa starves a little baby drools
I'm trying to figure out
All the basketball rules
I complain
Mr. Rush Limbaugh giving me the facts
Treetops falling and the newsman yaks
I'm thinking about Carter
And how I'm gonna be taxed
I........

Chorus:
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, so much easier
Complain, complain

. . .


Business as usual
Just what's on your mind
Give you some of mine
So the breaks don't come so easy
Hesitate and fall asleep
Taking care of mine

Chorus:
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Everybody's in the line
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Time will find

Little do we really know
The river ego deep and wide
Everybody mission
If I make the wrong decision
Never known is never more
Faster than before

Chorus:
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Everybody's in the line
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Time will find

(break)

Business as usual
Just what's on your mind
Give you some of mine
So the breaks don't come so easy
Hesitate and fall asleep
Taking care of mine

Chorus:
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Everybody's in the line
So the crime we find is just human behavior
Time will find
(repeat chorus)

. . .


Have you gotten any cigarettes?
And have you got anything for me?
I no longer know just what I'm saying
Is this how it's supposed to be?

Chorus:
Sometimes I think the pain blows my mind
Pain blows my mind

Is it June or late September?
Is it 1993?
Could you help me to remember?
Is this how I'm supposed to be?

Chorus:
Sometimes I think the pain blows my mind
Pain blows my mind

Solo

Did you ever get those cigarettes?
And did you get anything for me?
Will you help me to remember?
When I fall into the sea.

Chorus:
Sometimes I think the pain blows my mind
Pain blows my mind
Pain blows my mind
Pain blows my mind

. . .


I don't wanna go to hell
Nobody in their right mind wants to
but very few have done the things they have to do
To get to the promised land

. . .


I walked thru the door and took a seat
Listening to words
That seem to bounce right off my chest
Like I heard it all before
Teach an old dog the same old trick

Chorus:
Tide underside my pillow
Willow thundering

I ate the crumbs and I spilled the wine
The thought that counts
Burning candles shining in the light
Shining.

Chorus:
Tide underside my pillow
Willow thundering
Tide underside my pillow
Willow thundering

Solo

I walked thru the door and took a seat
Listening to the words
That seem to bounce right off my chest
Like I heard it all before
Teach an old dog the same old trick

Chorus:
Tide underside my pillow
Willow thundering
Tide underside my pillow
Willow thundering
(repeat)

Manic depression touching my soul
I know what I want but
I just don't know what I need
Music, sweet music drops on my fingers
Manic depression catchin' my soul

Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down, yeah
Really ain't no use in me hangin' around
(You know what I'm tryin' to say)
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, with a kiss!
Ohhhh! Manic depression, a frustrating mess!
