Standing On A Corner

I was standing on a corner
In my old neighbourhood.
Somebody called my name.
I looked around,
I had to look again,
she didn't look the same.
A few years of marriage and a couple pairs of kids
She really looked like Hell.
I'm so confused
I don't know what to do Love.
I guess I hope
You're happy with your new love.
I was standing on a corner
waiting for a bus.
She came walking by.
She was so fine
So beautiful it hurt
It made my throat run dry.
I took my courage,
And I said, if she was lonely,
We could make a try.
I nearly choked,
cause when she talked to me,
She was another guy.
I'm so confused,
I don't know what to do love,
I'm afraid
I'll never find a new love.
I was siting in a corner
At a party down my block.
When she caught my eye.
She was young and she was pretty
A walking fantasy
with another guy.
He was my friend,
but when he passed out on the couch,
I had to make a try.
We talked a while,
But when the party ended,
We didn't say "good-bye!"
I'm not confused,
I know what to do love.
I guess you guessed
I'm happy with my new love.

Do You Want Me To Stay
05:02

Chorus
Do you want me to stay
Do you want me to go
Do you want me here right here with you,
Or somewhere down the road.
Do you want me to laugh
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to lay down at your feet
Do you want me to die.
Verse
I thought that I was independent
I thought I was immune to the call
Of the blood that flows in another's veins,
I thought that I would never fall.
I was good with the old arrangement
I thought that I had a need for control.
I was secure in the isolation
Of a psychopathic soul
Do you want me to stay
Do you want me to go
Do you want me here right here with you,
Or somewhere down the road.
Do you want me to laugh
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to lay down at your feet
Do you want me to die.
I was lost in the contemplation
Of the ways I was losing my soul
I was blind to the cost , but I took no heed
But it was taking its toll.
I can say with no hesitation
That I was alright with the way
I could stumble through my life
Like a hopeless drunk.
I thought that I'd never pay.
Do you want me to stay
Do you want me to go
Do you want me here right here with you,
Or somewhere down the road.
Do you want me to laugh
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to lay down at your feet
Do you want me to die.
Now, I'm coming out of hibernation,
The ice is beginning to thaw.
The fire in the blood is beginning to burn,
Like a flame in the straw.
I put it down to the inspiration,
Of the one who is pulling me out
Of the darkness in the pit that I made for myself,
When I was ready to quit.
Do you want me to stay
Do you want me to go
Do you want me here right here with you,
Or somewhere down the road.
Do you want me to laugh
Do you want me to cry
Do you want me to lay down at your feet
Do you want me to die.

Insomnia

Inspmnia,
I don't think I can take
Insomnia,
I can't seem to shake it.
Insomnia,
It's rotting my brain.
Insomnia,
I think I'm going insane
.
I can't remember,
The last time that I slept.
I haven't closed my eyes in such a long time.
I spend the night
Staring at the Shadows,
Serving out a sentence,
For a non crime.
Inspmnia,
I don't think I can take
Insomnia,
I can't seem to shake it.
Insomnia,
It's rotting my brain.
Insomnia,
I think I'm going insane.
Exhaustion hits me,
My brain it turns to sludge.
My body won't respond
And I fall down on the bed.
I close my eyes,
My Mind starts spinning round.
All the dirty movies
Start playing in my head.
Inspmnia,
I don't think I can take
Insomnia,
I can't seem to shake it.
Insomnia,
It's rotting my brain.
Insomnia,
I think I'm going insane.

Blood In The Street
03:51

There's gonna be
Blood in the street,
There's gonna be
Fire in the city.
There'll be
Lives on the line
When your sins come back on you.
The game is up,
I think I hear them calling
The game is up,
I think they're coming after you.
The game is up,
I think your secret'sa been uncovered,
They've found you out,
Now they're gonna make you pay.
With the
Blood in the street,
There's gonna be
Fire in the city.
There'll be
Lives on the line
When your sins come back on you.
The game is up,
The dispossessed and starving.
The game is up,
In their chains of poverty.
The game is up,
All the peasants that you spat on,
The victims of your luxury and waste.
There's gonna be
Blood in the street,
There's gonna be
Fire in the city.
There'll be
Lives on the line
When your sins come back on you.
The game is up,
You almost made it.
The game is up,
You almost got away.
The game is up,
But you got too greedy,
You went too far
And you threw the game away.
There's gonna be
Blood in the street,
There's gonna be
Fire in the city.
There'll be
Lives on the line
When your sins come back on you.
The game is up,
They've got your number
The game is up,
They know where you live
The game is up
There's no use hiding
There's no defence
And there's nowhere to run
From the
Blood in the street,
There's gonna be
Fire in the city.
There'll be
Lives on the line
When your sins come back on you.

You look through me on the subway
You ignore me in the hall
I don't make a strong impression
If I make one at all.
You told them when they asked you
"He was such a quiet one,
"I can't imagine him doing
"The awful things you say he's done."
But I have secrets deep inside me
No one will ever know
The voices keep on screaming
The compulsion starts to grow.
I know everything about you
I watch you everywhere
I stalk you on the street
You have no suspicion that I'm here
i have your pictures on my wall
Missing clothes and locks of hair
when you feel you're being watched
You won't see me but I'm there.
And when voices say the time is right
Hope's a half-forgotten dream
You'll only know despair
-
When the dance is over
And there's nothing left but tears
A few neglected stains
And the echos of your fear.
When all is said and done
And the toys are put away
You'll be nothing but a memory
They'll think you ran away
I slip into the shadows
No one will ever know
The voices keep on screaming
The compulsion starts to grow.

Homestead

Well, it's dry and it's dusty
The wind tends to howl
Drinking water is a half mile away
There's coyotes and badgers
Gophers and snakes
But this is home
This is where we will stay.
We left north Dakota
About three months ago
Headed north
The family in tow.
A couple cows and some chickens
A few pots and pans
Pretty near all that we own.
We been making good time,
About five miles a day
Ain't busted a wheel in some time.
Wake up at daybreak
And look to the north
Where there's always
A new hill to climb.
Well, it's dry and it's dusty
The wind tends to howl
Drinking water is a half mile away
There's coyotes and badgers
Gophers and snakes
But this is home
This is where we will stay.
The kid's getting cranky,
The wife's getting tired,
All this nothin
Is getting me down.
Been living on beans
And weevily flour.
It's been weeks
Since we last saw a town.
All this empty expanse
is driving me mad.
Gives a man
Too much time to think
The pressure inside
Is beginning rise. /Is getting intense
Start to feel
Like I mighy need
A drink.
Well, it's dry and it's dusty
The wind tends to howl
Drinking water is a half mile away
There's coyotes and badgers
Gophers and snakes
But this is home
This is where we will stay.
we've been traveling too long
i get mighty tired
Rolling smokes
Out of yesterday's butts.
we ought to keep moving
with Eyes on the prize
But this thing
Take more patience than guts.
the next piece of land
That's up for grabs
Is where we'll be staking our claim.
over the next hill
This is home
And it's where we'll remain.
Well, it's dry and it's dusty
The wind tends to howl
Drinking water is a half mile away
There's coyotes and badgers
Gophers and snakes
But this is home
This is where we will stay.
repeat chorus until you get sick of it.
