And I'm not going back
Into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold
And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining but now I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now I'm gold
And I was your silver lining
High up on my toes
Well you were running through fields of hitchhikers
As the story goes
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now I'm gold
And the grass it was a-ticking
And the sun was on the rise
I never felt so wicked
As when I willed our love to die
And I was your silver lining as the story goes
I was your silver lining but now I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now I'm gold
Hooray, hooray
I'm your silver lining
Hooray, hooray
But now I'm gold
But now I'm gold
But now I'm gold

Close Call
She was born on a bright new pew
To a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears
Her good looks could've sailed a ship
But her will alone could've sunk it
Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich but you'll die by it
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Tell me now, what would you do
Hanging back with the brooms
Hustlin', pick pocket,
That's the way to get rich
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
Business men with good sense
If you live at all, you're gonna die by it
Funny thing about money for sex
You might get rich but then
It's gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
Gonna be a close call
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
(oooh, aahhh, ahhh)
To a gypsy mother and a bucket of tears

Gonna be a close call
Tell me now, what would you do

Breakin Up
It's not as if New York City burnt down to the ground
Once you drove away
It's not as if the sun won't shine
When clouds up above
Wash the blues away
Are we breaking up?
(Breaking up)
Are we breaking up?
(Breaking up)
Is there trouble between you and I?
Did my heart break enough?
(Break enough)
Did it Break enough this time
(Break enough)
Here's to all the pretty words we will never speak
Here's to all the pretty girls you're gonna meet
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
The trail is a thorny crown
You wear it well
Just like a king
Revenge is the saddest thing
Honey, I'm afraid to say
You deserve everything
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
Once you drove away
It's not as if the sun won't shine
When clouds up above
Wash the blues away
Are we breaking up?
(Breaking up)
Are we breaking up?
(Breaking up)
Is there trouble between you and I?
Did my heart break enough?
(Break enough)
Did it Break enough this time
(Break enough)
Here's to all the pretty words we will never speak
Here's to all the pretty girls you're gonna meet
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
The trail is a thorny crown
You wear it well
Just like a king
Revenge is the saddest thing
Honey, I'm afraid to say
You deserve everything
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free
It feels good to be free

Under The Blacklight
When you get sober
Will you get kinder
Cause when you get uptight
It's such a drag
When I get older
I won't remember
Until that day comes
I've got something on you
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting
Under the blacklight
Under the blacklight
Even dead men
Lie in the their coffins
It's been a long time
Since you felt better
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight
Somewhere in Laredo
Borders a soft man
Like a black widow
I'll be crawling
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight
Down in the valley
Up in the dark blue
Under the blacklight
Under the blacklight
Will you get kinder
Cause when you get uptight
It's such a drag
When I get older
I won't remember
Until that day comes
I've got something on you
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting
Under the blacklight
Under the blacklight
Even dead men
Lie in the their coffins
It's been a long time
Since you felt better
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
I'll be waiting
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight
Somewhere in Laredo
Borders a soft man
Like a black widow
I'll be crawling
Under the blacklight
Out in the garden
Into the pale moon
Under the blacklight
Down in the valley
Up in the dark blue
Under the blacklight

Dreamworld
She was the girl with the string around her neck,
With the boy who could only give her less.
It could be more if she learned to never expect,
And now she's her and him and then a baby next.
The wedding bells won't ring, but she couldn't care less,
You exist, when you're living in a dream world.
He grew up drinking milk from the cow, from the farm.
He was the traitor's father's father's father.
His father made him go give back to his country.
He gave his both knees, his overseas to fight the disease.
It's spreading fast over maps and it don't look back,
When you're living in a dream world.
It is a lion's science fiction wings,
Just like a jolly dizzy for zero, one, three times
The size of the people that came before.
Me and you and what we'd do for money.
This greed and jealousy turn to need.
See, I'm a man with a plan to use my hands.
I'm touching yours, you're the girl who wanted more.
Now baby, the story has faded from love to lie.
The clover under your feet is shooting stars in the night.
The people under your feet are shooting stars in the night.
The people, all that you meet, they're living in a dream world
With the boy who could only give her less.
It could be more if she learned to never expect,
And now she's her and him and then a baby next.
The wedding bells won't ring, but she couldn't care less,
You exist, when you're living in a dream world.
He grew up drinking milk from the cow, from the farm.
He was the traitor's father's father's father.
His father made him go give back to his country.
He gave his both knees, his overseas to fight the disease.
It's spreading fast over maps and it don't look back,
When you're living in a dream world.

This greed and jealousy turn to need.

Twenty-five the season off dope
Three sheets to the wind like a clothes line rope
He's a spider on the web
She's a tiny woman, he could sense
Her developing body was just the beginning
She said is anybody out there
She was bruised like a cherry
Ripe as a peach
How could he have known
That she was only fifteen
And she came to him like a tick on the noose
Little blue eyed soul for his black and blues
T's a new move for the likes of me
Our skin is like grass
Let's smoke it real fast
Is anybody out there?
He was deep like a grave yard wide like TV
And how could he have known
That she'd be down for almost anything
But she was only, only, only fifteen
My oh my you pretty thing
It's about that time
For us to leave
Does your daddy have a shot gun?
He was deep like a graveyard
She was ripe like a peach
And how could he have known?
That she was only fifteen
She was only, only, only fifteen
She was only, only, only fifteen
Three sheets to the wind like a clothes line rope
He's a spider on the web
She's a tiny woman, he could sense
Her developing body was just the beginning
She said is anybody out there
She was bruised like a cherry
Ripe as a peach
How could he have known
That she was only fifteen
And she came to him like a tick on the noose
Little blue eyed soul for his black and blues
T's a new move for the likes of me
Our skin is like grass

Smoke Detector
My eyes burn, everybody smokes
My eyes burn, everybody smokes
I smoke too, but not as much as you
I do the smoke detector
There is a girl in a tank top
She is not wearing a bra
She looks so hard on the dance floor
She does the smoke detector
She says "danger
"Do the smoke detector"
She says "danger
"I'm the smoke detector"
I took a man back to my room
I was smoking him in bed
Yeah, i was smoking in bed
This is what he said.
I took a man back to my room
I was smoking in bed
Yeah, I was smoking in bed
This is what he said.
I said "danger

My eyes burn, everybody smokes
I smoke too, but not as much as you

The Angels Hung Around
I been had and I been held
With the ghosts at bay
I been oaked and I been doped
And carried away
I been charred and I been scarred
On my own face
But i never thought I'd see you as I did today
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away
I been clubbed and I been snubbed
By the dogs of LA
And I been burned and I been learned
In the same city
I been whored and I been gored
I been less and I been more
But I never thought I'd see you
As I did today
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away
You were stuck in the badlands
Acting like a bad bad man
I been photographed and painted up
And I been in love only once
And I feared the best and loved the worst
And insisted that I go first
And watch your eyes as they poured
And I never really loved you more
And I never thought I'd see you
As I did today
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried you away
And they put you in the ground
When the angels hung around
And the angels hung around
As they carried me away
With the ghosts at bay
I been oaked and I been doped
And carried away
I been charred and I been scarred
On my own face
But i never thought I'd see you as I did today
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away
I been clubbed and I been snubbed
By the dogs of LA
And I been burned and I been learned
In the same city
I been whored and I been gored
I been less and I been more
But I never thought I'd see you
As I did today
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around
As they carried me away
You were stuck in the badlands
Acting like a bad bad man
I been photographed and painted up
And I been in love only once
And I feared the best and loved the worst
And insisted that I go first
And watch your eyes as they poured
And I never really loved you more
And I never thought I'd see you
As I did today

Till the angels hung around
Till the angels hung around

When the angels hung around

Give a Little Love
You'll get your money
I'll get my friends
Hard living's forgiven
In the end
You got your troubles
I got mine
On a clear day I can
Read your mind
Ooh
It's like a battlefield inside
[Chorus]
You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
I know you better
Than you want me to
Inside your pockets
And walking in your shoes
Ooh
It can get better if you try
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
I hope you
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
I keep you close
In my wildest dreams
My rearview mirror
And you're waving to me
Our last goodbye
[Chorus 2 x2]
I'll get my friends
Hard living's forgiven
In the end
You got your troubles
I got mine
On a clear day I can
Read your mind
Ooh
It's like a battlefield inside
[Chorus]
You got to
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
I know you better
Than you want me to
Inside your pockets
And walking in your shoes
Ooh
It can get better if you try
[Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
I hope you
Give a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
To get a little love
Give a little love
Give a little love
I keep you close
In my wildest dreams
My rearview mirror
And you're waving to me
Our last goodbye
[Chorus 2 x2]
