They Sayers

They say good things come to those who wait
But they didn't calculate your mental state
Then they tell you if you want it
You got to go get it
And if you never do
You're going to regret it
So you find yourself stuck in the middle
You think you might be lost
You wonder if you wait much longer
What will be the cost?
I wish I could tell you which numbers to choose
And I wish I could tell you
But I'm not in your shoes
Everyone wants to be the one
To take you to your personal promiseland
And if you want to be a man son
You've got to make your own living
But don't keep it all for yourself
And forget about giving
And when life gives you lemons
You know what to do
But stay away from drinking it too fast
And the sugar too
Someday down the line
You'll be just like me
Giving someone else advice on just how to be

Beatdown

There's something happening here
I look behind me there's nobody near
And my head it was gone
Left it back at my place and I went on a walk
The cold breeze was enough
To keep my wits about me between each puff
But I kept my eyes down
When they approached me and they turned me around
Hey man can you toss me a five?
Our car right here just ran out of gas
Said "Yeah, I can help you out,
there's a station right by the overpass"
One had a look in his eyes
When I slurred my words he looked at the other guys
As I went through my bills
Couldn't count them or on my legs to keep still

No Name
04:39

Like a fledgling child
Homesick and lonely
Until you jumped from the floor
Doing just what they told you
Thought you were already gone
So you gave into it
And when they watch you smile
I hope they look in your eyes`
Through your friendly disguise
And they see you there
Had noone around
And you could not be found
You say that now you wouldn’t have it any other way
Live for now and find yourself again another day
But later when you’re lost and cannot find yourself
You’ll be putting blame upon someone else

Magical Compact Car
03:27

We want to be with you
We’ re going to come get ya
Put you in our magic compact car
You can take the front seat
Your work is now complete
Don’t you want to be a star?
Chorus:
You’ll never forget us, if you would just let us
Take you for a spin (Come in)
I know it looks like a beater,
But this one, you can’t beat her
Sometimes she drives, Others she flies
You got no need to pack now,
One day we’ll be back now
Jump in the magical compact car
Couple thousand miles from the home that we know
Not homesick but sick of home
And the farther we go, so escapes the ego
Eyes twinkling as we watch the future unfold

Good Time, Bad Night
04:14
|

|
I’ll watch you while you lay there
You say that you won’t sleep
I know your heart is sinking low
And red is all you see
So many times
In my life, dear
I’ve said goodbye too soon
I don’t know how, but it’s over now
Good time, bad night for you
If you should choose
To leave me when you wake
Don’t be confused
You’ve every right to forsake
And now I know
I may be just like the rest, It really kills me
But if you let me keep you
An honest man, you’ll see
The silver lining shining through
If you should pardon me
Now rest your weary head dear,
Knowing I know what I’ve done
The guilt and shame and fear and pain
Will take a hold of me
Until I see the sun

Waterfalls and Doubts
04:33
|
|||
|
She’s hard up, and as morning sets in,
She puts her head down
Her mind is achin’
She had been taken
Once again
And a man should break his back to earn a night with her
She thinks as she smiles
She makes up,
And the mirror makes her feel much better
But Waterfalls and doubts
They have brought you here
They could have come without ya
On a path that wasn’t cleared
Now she stands under the moon
She knows where she’ll be soon
Like last evening
Lights another smoke
Laughs at all his jokes
Now they’re leaving
And a man should break his back to earn a night with her
She thinks as she smiles
Foggy morning comes again
She leaves her newest friend
While he’s sleeping
And a man should break his back to earn a night with her
She thinks as she smiles
Foggy morning comes again
She leaves her newest friend
While he’s sleeping

Runaway
03:36

I’m a runner away,
I got nothing to say
Won’t you make it easy
And not beg me to stay
Cuz when I’m talking to you
I feel like a fool
Not even I know what’s behind
All my anxious moves
Nothing changes with the days
These are my ways
If I could I’d change for you
When I don’t come back
Cut me a little slack
If I could I’d run back to you
I’m never around
When you come to town
Soon as I hear word of you
I turn right around
I’m a runner away,
I got nothing to say
Won’t you make it easy
And not beg me to stay
