I checked my baggage with the man at the station
But I still felt heavy and complacent
I try to let go and feel free
But all my possessions are buryin' me
Bury me Bury me Take me down to the hanging tr
You look at me and I wanna take a bite
I look at you and I don't have to think twice
CAUSE YOU'RE AS SWEET AS SIN AND I KNOW THE
TROUBLE I'M IN
YOU'RE AS SWEET AS SIN AND I WANNA TASTE AGAIN
CANDY - I'
I have seen the concrete broken in slabs all down
my street
I have seen the grass wave only inside and inside
It will stay
It will stay
There are places no man can touch and these will
be where I live
All my troubles have found me today
When will I hit the ground? I hear myself say
But I just keep on falling weightless and half
asleep
But I know someday those troubles will be mine to
keep
Right now
The devil was on stilts this morning
He walked out back to see
The ten foot wine glass he used to ensnare me
Well I wanted to burn down the barn
Where he spent most his summer days
Well I lit a match
I had to do it, I had to do it I had no choice
I had to do it, what would I tell my boy?
I had to do it, I haven't found work since June
There's food and the medicine and Christmas is
coming soon. I had
I lost my resolve
I lost my resolve
Something in my reasoning was flawed
Cause I'm trying not to
But I end up doing it all the same
I'm trying not to
But I end up doing it all the same
I made up my
I don't mean to gripe but I saw you open tonight
in your latest play and I know what your critics
will say
They'll say you should've stayed home and your
mind wanders then it roams
They're just jealous
I met her at a WALMART
She was tryin' to find a spare part
And I thought I could help find it
She said she just moved into town
With a smile that turned into a frown
And she grabbed my hand and held o
I'm screaming in your ear right now
Trying to get a response
And I'm saying anything I can think of
I tell you I'm a Nazi and I love the Ku Klux Klan
I'm going to kill the president
Do you like my pla
You look at me like your son
Chip away
Fracture the souls of our young
Chip Away
Sculpting minds for your end
Slow and sure those minds will bend
Chip away
You view destruction as an art
Chip away
I CAN'T BE YOUR SAFETY NET ANYMORE
I HANG AROUND ALL DAY TO SEE YOU FINALLY TAKE THE
FALL
I CAN'T BE YOUR SAFETY NET ANYMORE
You've outgrown me little child
You'll see it yourself in a little while
Bu
Her temporary husband said I better stay away
He said I don't care what you heard in the
courtroom today
And eventhough I never really figured in her life
I can still makes things hurt for my soon-to-be
Don't wave that flag in my face
You don't have energy to waste
Your arms will break your legs will crack
From marching back and forth and back
You hear a scream and take the bait
We all need a reason
I first saw her face on a silver screen
It was a matinee, a European
I kept returning for at least ten more shows
Then I followed that film 'round until it closed
Someone else should've been thinking f
The reckless moment jumps up before you know it
It grabs you by your lapels
And throws you straight down to hell
You won't know what hit you
Until the next morning
The next morning
The reckless momen
Fats Waller on my stereo raisin' hell
And the TV's got the sound turned down but I see
William Powell
And he's got Myrna Loy in a fond embrace
And I know she's not acting by the smile on her
face

I'm a victim of
I'm a victim of
I'm a victim of myself
I'm a victim of
I'm a victim of
I'm a victim of myself
You won't see me around this town
Longer than today
Cause I have seen the wanted poster
I've forgotten why I came here but I know why I
stayed
I came to love this dirty town and its passion
plays
But when you relive the same bloody war
even with different actors you start to want
something
