Mmmm
When I wake up my shoes still on my feet
Then I know shes really pissed at me
For wasting time on things we never see
The cheap red wine my own dichotomy
Id swear ill die before I sing again
And bore you all my family and my friends
But here it goes over over and again
The war was lost
Creativity still wins
Sent a postcard to a king I hope survives
Told a dear friend that things will be alright
I told myself its time to try and write

Woman

I got a woman who cares for me
Shes got a sore back and swollen feet
Shes riddled with anxiety
And im constantly remind of it every day
When I look apon her face
It shoots me up through outer space
Shes not one for social grace
But id rather be like that anyway
We live our lives like a second hand cassette
Skipping blindly forward chase it down with no regrets
I got a woman who knows no shame
Hope some day shell take my name
Our lives will never be mundane
Its strange we don’t care what people say
When im heading home tonight
I know that it will be just fine
Because I got someone on my side
And man it makes you feel alive
Will live our lives like anyone would do
Im so fucking happy to be sitting here with you.

False Teeth

My ma told me through time dedication
Ill earn all the things that I need
Now im dealing with all the trials tribulations
Of some shit that id never seen
Im howling out the question
Could you give a poor dog some relief
You feed me the same answer
I just don’t know who belives
All that it takes check a fact read the paper
Try not to breed apathy
When im 59 sick as hell
See you later and cant afford my false teeth.
Whats it gonna take then
To change the way that it works
Im tired of drinking poison
Just to say that it dosent hurt
It takes time to try and heel the wound
It takes time to try and heel the wound
And if we work together
And try to seize the day
Never do say never
Its what we all try to say
It takes time to try and heel the wound
It takes time to try and heel the wound
It takes time to try and heel the wound
It takes time to try and heel the wound

How to Make a Friend

When your down and out
And feel you must start over
When you new to town
Or time is moving slower
Or maybe you are just trying to get over
Heres your chance
So we grow im not asking
You find the strength to say
That your fine
Talk to strangers
Yeah we all still feel that way
Cuz all that we want
Is someone there to talk about the same bullshit
As time goes on
You join a club or better
You stay in touch
Send a text or even send a letter
Or maybe even just ask hows the weather
At least you tried
So we grow im not asking you find the strength to say
That your fine talk to strangers
Yeah we all still feel that way
Cuz all that we want is someone there to talk
About the same bullshit
Instrumental verse
So we grow im not asking you find the strength to say
That your fine talk to strangers
Yeah we all still feel that way
Cuz all that we want is someone there to talk
About the same bullshit

Im wide awake at 2 am its all because of you
Your staying up to late at night
Demand that I do too
You wake me up to scratch your back
It makes you feel alive
If these are my worst problems then I guess were doing fine
Oh oh oh I guess were doing fine
Oh oh oh I guess were doing fine
We go on long walks every day its one of our past times
We chased a lot of tail back then
I laughed so hard I cried
You don’t mind if I will bring some food with me to bed
Because you know that im inclined
To share with you instead
Oh oh oh I guess were doing fine
Oh oh oh I guess were doing fine

Hold Me Down

Rise and shine the sun fades in
And theres a smile on your face
Seems like time is passing faster now
Ill do my best to keep the pace
So hold me down now in the haze of the morning
Sooth, and ill be on my way
In a world where all we do is consume
Im trying hard not to waste my time away
When I go to bed at 10pm
And shes right there next to me
We talk about the way things were
And how we wanted them to be
So hold me down now in the haze of the morning
Sooth and ill be on my way
In a world where all we do is consume
Im trying hard not to waste my time away
Ohhh try to waste my time away
Ohhh try to waste my time away
Oh try to waste my time away
Hey eh yeh
So hold me down now in the haze of the morning
Sooth and ill be on my way
In a world where all we do is consume
Im trying hard not to waste my time away
