Cellophane Man Yeah it’s true, we all wanted you back in high school And it’s strange how, how you never changed, no you never changed You used to be so cool back in high school How long has this been going on, living alone and blue? Do you plan to take all the drinks you can and drown in the motel pool? You can stumble out to the motel pool and drown in the water Well I get out on a Saturday afternoon And I think I’m going to drive by your apartment There’s nothing in the street, and there’s no one at your door I don’t think I’m going to drive by your apartment anymore Please See me Because I be Cellophane man Yes it’s wild, you are still a child, but I’m right there with you What should we do but sit by the motel potel or fall in love blindly? We can fall in love or be alone or sit by the water You and me, well, we be what we want to be for one another I and you, we did what we wanted to; we did what we wanted to You’ve got to do what you want to do; do what you want to Please See me Because I be Cellophane man I Do Not Love You One time, there was a little rhyme Called the two of us, and we were cool We loved to hit the town And hang around in school What then happened? Well, I really do not know She was over there with a changed-up hair And I was walking alone back home Because she said, “I do not love you” And I said, “Don’t let that be true” And she said, “I do not love you” And I said, “Well then, what can I do?” She was right and I was wrong So I had to take up a tune I sit around with my head on the ground As she waves from her balloon So I must take a drink I must take a drink I must take a drink all night Come dawn, I’ll be so long gone You will lose your appetite Because she said, “I do not love you” And I said, “Don’t let that be true” And she said, “I do not love you” And I said, “Well then, what can I do?” I have loved and lost it all From the drunken fist of god That I beckoned down, down Down, down upon my heart

Rag Doll 10:11

Rag Doll High – high enough to kill you Why drive another mile? Big star, cover the nation New car, what a sensation Spread your legs, there is no relation To your heart Shame – you put yourself to shame here Strange how you do it to yourself One more day, feeling like a ragdoll Nothing more to say, not another word I cannot control my love It’s breaking through the flood-wall now My friend has just gone away I hope he will come home somehow But now I’ve got to get away I want to come back to you You know how I adore you And there’s nothing that you can do But take it in from every side I cannot control my love Just let me make my last phone call Before I lie down to die I want to hear you call my name But now I’ve got to get away Every single day, beat up like ragdoll Why drive another mile? Nothing more to say, not another word High – it should be quite a fall Every single day, beat up like a ragdoll Every single day, chewed up like bone Why does everything look so small? I think that I am covered up with stone Every single day, beat up like a ragdoll Every songle way, chewed up like a bone

How Does It Feel 09:06
lyrics

How Does it Feel It’s one day then another; it’s just one more day you got to get up – get up. One way or another; there’s just one way you got to get out – get out. Of this town; it’s a burden on me and anyone and anything in it to[o] Shake this isolation, yes this isolation, you gotta hit the ground running. Upon the wheel, it’s your fait accompli. How does it feel to do anything you please, anytime, anywhere? ‘Cause they box ‘em up and they sell ‘em right back to you. It’s good to take a train ride; it’s good to take a train up on the mountain – straight up. Straight up to the window; it’s good to take a ride up on the window pane – high up on. High up to Chicago, and then again, to Madison, where everything has always been waiting… For my complication, it’s my complication, I gotta hit the ground running. Upon the wheel, it’s your fait accompli. How does it feel to do anything you please, anytime, anywhere? ‘Cause they box ‘em up and they sell ‘em right back to you. I fell you, and you fell for me; we fell together for a while, and then we fell in love. I felt alone; I could not fall asleep; I fell down and fell ill, and then we fell apart. Six windows to midnight – these ties are unbinding me. Why do you talk so much when I am trying to sleep? Quietly dreaming of falling out quietly; quietly falling out dreaming of wandering away…

Song For Dead 07:01
lyrics

Song For Dead I make my way through the sun to concentrate on everyone Who’s gone away for good and won’t come back You see that everywhere lately, young and old are come and gone And someday soon it’s you ane me, you know Take twenty-one and run for the wind dies down And the mud beneath the snow can smell like time And all our friends are stranded in the motel What they’re doing, we can never tell You said that we were close from far away Said you’d take a train to Tupelo someday But now you’re farther than a satellite can stray Won’t you sing a song for dead Hey you, forty-one, the puppet-maker’s son He pulled the strings then cut the line on you Much like nothing ever happened; never did, never will Where’s the big band now, Buffalo Bill? I wonder if you wake up just before you die A goldfish inside a goldfish bowl Buenos dias; Buenas noches The black world is falling in on me You said that we were close from far away Said you’d take a train to Tupelo someday But now you’re farther than a satellite can stray Won’t you sing a song for dead I don’t want to die, sleeping in the night I don’t want to die, wasting my whole life

U ‘N’ Mi I will assume that we still have a ways to go And maybe that is the best thing that I’ll ever know You stand up high to meet the consequence It isn’t why but what you bring to it You can fly out on a rocket And if you try, it might come to call You can cry at midnight on the phone Lying in bed and feeling all alone But don’t you feel all alone I will carry you back home Because this was meant to be Much like being you and me You get up high but the pieces got you down Flying tied two feet off the ground Well come over and over and over and over again I close my eyes and then I count to ten You can hide inside my pocket And you can ride upon the stone Cold, cold, it’ll never be cold again I wish that the winter would visit us now and then But don’t you feel all alone I will carry you back home Because this was meant to be Much like being you and me

Best Side Up Cane-break, walk a mile, out through the window Take barbed-wire from the lake and patch up your shoes ‘Cause the stone cloud dropping pain on the island You can pretty much set out to go insane ‘Cause that’s why you came here at all Got to fly, well bye-bye, see you next winter In the cold snow, you can go, but you best patch up your shoes ‘cause The Magic Bus will not come for us out here Well oh my dear, what have they done to you here? You do not know what to do Best put your best side up Don’t let them spit upon your shoe Best put your best side up And all night you can run for the car park And all night you can run for the dawn I think I know a way, it’s called another Best put your best side up Cane-break, walk a mile, out through the window Take barbed-wire from the lake and patch up your shoes ‘Cause the stone cloud dropping pain on the island You can pretty much set out to go insane ‘Cause that’s why you came here at all

Stealin’ The sun is like a ball and chain Would you like to go insane? Just like you wanted to Outside and in the blue Stealing up the tree and over You get to know and you got to run Simple as a road Don’t fuck it up now I wanted to be in the pocket I wanted to be alone I wanted to be on a rocket Ten thousand miles from the cemetery Don’t fuck it up now This love song is bittersweet Madness is on the phone Highway, romancing lights Fall back to shadow Stealing up the tree and over You get to know and you got to run Simple as a road Don’t fuck it up now I wanted to be in the pocket I wanted to be alone I wanted to be on a rocket Ten thousand miles from the cemetery Don’t fuck it up now

Waterville Four days… Four days Four days… Four days ‘Cause it was four days that the rain came down They took the good drugs and they fell to the ground Until they suffocated in their cars and trucks Too bad that Dave and Glory were just shit out of luck It was a vale of gentlemen and ladies Fighting for air with dirty hands It was not fair, a love that’s barely started Drowned in the songs of Cowboy Man Tied to a truck alive upon a hilltop Send him back home in rubber bands He was my friend but now he’s just a penny Flicked from the hand of Cowboy Man Why must we die in such fancy ways? What is it like to lose everything? This is my life and I cannot see Being alive without you here

Over The Car All that I see are little-mouth girls and the frowns all day I’ve seen two are three who are very pretty looking down all day These school days are a long purple haze And I wish I could play them for you all night These castles of sand are just dust in the hand But wherever you stand you may stand Stand your ground You can break him in two or cut off his hair because anything’s fair in your town – yes it is – and you can make him go blind for kissing his kind and crying for god to come down down down It’s a slow graceful turn into no one A slow graceful turn out the light I’m barely awake but I’m breathing It’s a slow graceful turn It’s a slow graceful turn onto no one A slow graceful turn out the light I’m barely asleep but I’m dreaming A slow graceful turn You can break him in two or cut off his hair because anything’s fair in your town – yes it is – and you can make him go blind for kissing his kind and crying for god to come down down down These school days are a long purple haze And I wish I could play them for you all night These castles of sand are just dust in the hand But wherever you stand you may stand Stand your ground All that I see are little-mouth girls and the frowns all day I’ve seen two are three who are very pretty looking down all day

Take Me Take me when you go – It’s elementary And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me Got to go down to the showdown Maybe fall down, you no count Pencil-pushing, eight-ball shooting slut So you go out to the restaurant to play your final show You have sixteen margaritas ‘cause you got no place left to go And the waitress says “you suck!” ‘cause you can’t play what you know And you pass out in the bathroom on a broken toilet bowl You thought you had me there, didn’t you? You can spin a line ‘bout to wrap around my head You thought you had me there, didn’t you? Well I’ll tell you once, and I’ll tell you well, You can take me straight to hell! Take me when you go – It’s elementary And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me Got to go down to the showdown Maybe fall down, you no count Pencil-pushing, eight-ball shooting slut So you ride home on your tricycle shooting Teletubby smack And you’re breathing in the colors when they throw you on the rack And they tie you up in ribbons and stick you in a sack And they’ll dump you off in Waterville ‘cause you’re never coming back You thought you had me there, didn’t you? You can spin a line ‘bout to wrap around my head You thought you had me there, didn’t you? Well I’ll tell you once and I’ll tell you well, You can take me straight to hell! Take me when you go – It’s elementary And then when I go, well I’ll take you with me Got to go down to the showdown Maybe fall down, you no count Pencil-pushing, eight-ball shooting slut
