This really feels like flying
Am I lighter than air?
Perhaps I'm on the water, floating
God knows this could be anywhere

At least my lungs are still breathing
At least my heart still beats
At least my brain is still thinking
At least that's what I believe

I believe I remember slippin'
Or maybe slidin' or trippin'
The whole damn scene was rippin'
Unstable and bitin' and sickenin'

I believe I remember slippin'
Or maybe slidin' or trippin'
The whole damn scene was rippin'
Unstable and bitin' and sickenin'

Get behind me
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me (Good God all mighty)
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me (Good God all mighty)
Stand back all you devils
Get behind me, too
Get behind me
Get behind me
Get behind me

I've passed one hundred thousand houses
Every door wide open
And no place feels like home
How long must I keep going?

Woke up this morning
I had a laugh
Saw you lying there
I had to laugh
Last night come clear
I had to laugh
Listening to the rain
I had to laugh

So I talked to the devil
Yeah, I had to laugh
I talked to God
Who just sat and laughed
Those boys are funny
Oh, they make me laugh
So damn funny
I nearly pissed my pants

There's no way out
I have to laugh
There ain't no way back
I have to laugh
The rain comes down harder
I have to laugh
It's getting darker
I have to laugh

Another day finished
Another day done
I'm right here next to you
Hoping tomorrow will come
I'm here right next to you
Hoping tomorrow will come
Hoping tomorrow will come

I have to laugh
I have to laugh
I have to laugh
I have to laugh
I have to laugh
I have to laugh
I have to laugh

She rolled up from the bar with Kahlua and cream
Parked her wheel chair by the karaeoke machine
Closed her eyes and sang "Dancing Queen"
She sang the shit out of "Dancing Queen"

Oblivion
Oblivion

He left town because it could not get any worse
Moved to Santa Fe and increased his girth
Dropped the spoon and picked up the fork
On a commune making tinctures of the earth

Oblivion
Oblivion

Everybody wants a good time
Everybody wants a good time
Everybody wants everything to be all right
Everybody wants a good time

Oblivion
Oblivion

So hot
And wet
Been days and days and days
Since I slept
Been rollin'
And stumblin'
And laughin' and laughin' and laughin'
And cryin' and grumblin'

Oh my heart
And my head
Cryin' out loud through every lonesome cell

When you see me comin' try to be kind
When you see me comin' try to be kind
When you see me comin' try to be kind
Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
When you see me comin' try to be kind

Ohhh
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river deep and wide
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
Cry me a river make it deep and wide
Now float down stream
All the way down stream and go out
With the tide

When you see me comin' try to be kind
When you see me comin' try to be kind
When you see me comin' try to be kind
Keep in mind I'm losin' mine
When you see me comin' try to be kind

Try, try, try
Yeah try, try, try
Try to be kind
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
Try, try, try
Try to be kind

Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts
Clutchin' anything we can
Like stacks and stacks of rats on rafts
Weight of the world crushin' our backs

Tooth for a tooth
Eye for an eye
You know it's the truth
And this is why

Poisoned water poisons the mind

Backed in the corner
Drinkin' Poisoned Water
Payin' for the sins of our fore-fathers
Who've beaten and cheated and raped our mother
Ever since gettin' kicked out of the garden

Can you see?
Are you blind?
There's no more teeth
And this is why

Poisoned water poisons the mind

Poisoned water poisons the mind
Poisoned water poisons the mind

I feel your stare: the eyes of a buzzard
Yeah, I've been there behind the shrike
Got me feelin' like a second cousin
Twice removed as I pass you by

On a real low vibe

The waves are hittin' kind of heavy
Every crash lands amplified
Birds and worms are runnin' 'round frenzied
Back at my place there ain't no time

On a real low vibe
On a real low vibe
I can't feel time
On a real low vibe

I built forty million miles of strip-malls
And I painted the sky with aerosol
Plugged the hole in your pockets with credit cards
And clouded your eyes with sitcoms

I put the "con" in "convenience," and I string you along
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
Owwwww

I make tiny, starving fingers sew your comfy running shoes
And I make more money than any man could ever use
Been called a cool mother fucker, but I'm not that mean
You see I'd gladly leave the dregs of the earth to the meek

Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong
Don't worry your head 'cause there ain't nothing wrong

Owwwwww
Whoo

This is the life
This is the life
This is the life
This is the life

This is the life
This is the life
This is the life
For me
For me
For me

Got a handful of love on the left side
A handful of hate on the right
What's in between won't be appeased
It's going to be long, lonely night

I fear for your outcome
I fear for mine, too
I fight off your actions, baby
We're screwed

They're all around
Trying to shoot us down
We'll stand our ground

They're all around
We won't back down
We'll stand our ground

Closing from every direction
No longer concealing their hands
They just keep on coming
I'm tired of running
Tonight we make our stand

Their number is many
Our number is two
We're in deep together, baby
We're screwed

They're all around
Trying to shoot us down
We'll stand our ground

They're all around
We won't back down
We'll stand our ground

I fear for your outcome
I fear for mine, too
We're in deep together, baby
We're screwed

We won't back down
We won't back down
We won't back down

Water is wet
And rocks are hard
But the wind, my friend
Does what it wants

So, I move with the wind
I move with the wind
If I move at all

What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What the hell? How should I know?
What do you do with a drunken sailor
When you don't know what to do with yourself?

I move with the wind
If I move at all
We've run aground
Stuck on these rocks
I guess I'm all wet
That's how I got caught
That's how I got caught
That's how I got caught
Hook, line and sinker

Consider this then think of nothing
Ah, wouldn't that be nice
Close your eyes, feel the ocean rising
Floatin' on a bed of spice

I move with the wind
If I move at all
We've run a ground
Stuck on these rocks
I guess I'm all wet
That's how I got caught
That's how I got caught
That's how I got caught
Hook, line and sinker

I'm a ghost
I'm driftin' into oblivion
Just a gray, old ghost
And a messy oblivion

Well I've had my hopes
They're not what they used to be
I've had hopes
That's between you and me

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time

I've been thiking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time

I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just a little kiss

If you're my host
Don't serve me no misery
If you're some host
Don't serve me no misery

'Cause I've had dreams
Sure, they're not what they used to be
Yeah, I've had dreams
But, that's between you and me

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time

I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just a little kiss

A need a fix and a kiss
Like this
Owwwwww

Well, if you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur
If you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur

'Cause I've been brought down
By false love's power
I've been knocked to the ground
By false love's power

I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time

I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just give me a kiss

Not a punch and a kick
Owwwwww, fix me
Well, all right

In the Catholic seamen's club
Every sailor is sacred
In the arcade right next door
All the girls dance naked

Down on my knees scrubbin' the floors
Scratchin' at festering sores
If I'm the guy you're lookin' for
Just look down under some rock
Beneath the valley of the underdog

Spat upon by passers by
The spittin' image of my maker
Even those who once called me "friend"
Were liars, thieves or fakers

And to my love who cast me off
I hope you finally made it
If you ever want to look me up
Just look down under some rock
Beneath the valley of the underdog

Beneath the valley of the underdog
Beneath the valley of the underdog
Beneath the valley of the underdog
Beneath the valley of the underdog
Beneath the valley of the underdog
Beneath the valley of the underdog
