I Will Dare

How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Don't count any of my advice
Oh, meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I might dare
Call me on Thursday, if you will
Or call me on Wednesday, better still
Ain't lost yet, so I gotta be a winner
Fingernails and a cigarette's a lousy dinner
Young, are you? Wo oo
C'mon meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now, I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare
How young are you?
How old am I?
Let's count the rings around my eyes
How smart are you?
How smart are you?
How dumb am I?
Dumb am I
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you would dare, I would dare
Meet me anyplace or anywhere or anytime
Now I don't care, meet me tonight
If you will dare, I will dare

Dead Babies
05:51
|

Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf upon the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't hear, hear her little baby call
Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't want you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la
Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white
Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't love you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la
Goodbye little Betty
Goodbye little Betty
So long little Betty
So long little Betty
Betty, so long
Dead babies can't take care of themselves
Dead babies can't take things off the shelf
Well, we didn't need you anyway
Lalala-lalalalalala-la
Goodbye little Betty

Yeah monkey
Are you seein' red now
Yeah monkey
Jumpin' on the bed now

Easy To Be Hard
03:37
|
|||
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How about I need a friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about being proud
How about I need a friend, I need a friend
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud, easy to say no
Easy to be gone, easy to say no
Come on, easy to get read
Easy to say no
But too easy to be cold
Easy to say no
But too easy to say no

Between Time
02:50

I've been loving this guitar since a long long time
Just trying so hard to find
Just where I've been and we're I'm going
Got to keep that inside of my mind
Well it's alright
Cause it's alright
Alright
Well the rhythm of the music running through your soul
Well you ain't got time to grow old
And the stars will lit and the sun will shine
And you just gotta get it on
And it's alright
And it's alright
Alright
No I won't take long just to sing my song cause I gotta
Get on my way
When the sky is blue and the times are great and you just
Gotta get it on
Well it's alright
Cause it's alright
Alright

Last Thing
03:29
|
|||
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted
The everything
Comes sliding in
Leviathan far too big to understand
By design and unpopular demand
Their game is long, they made it so
Their engineers could take it slow
They took it just the same
All the people sing
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted
It's on the shelf
Look for yourself
All the pennies, hammered into swords
And the penniless, that they’re pointing towards
There's no time for dissent
We sold it off to pay the rent
So off to work we go!
All the people sing
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing we ever wanted was a war
But we found it much too easy
Last thing we ever wanted
Last thing, last thing, last thing
That we wanted

Sometimes
02:43
|
|||
Large fingers pushin' paint...
You're God and you got big hands...
The colors blend...
The challenges you give man...
Seek my part...devote myself...
My small self...like a book amongst the many on a shelf...
Sometimes I know sometimes I rise
Sometimes I fall sometimes I don't
Sometimes I cringe sometimes I live
Sometimes I walk sometimes I kneel
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all...
Sometimes I reach to myself, hear God...

Strange Ways
03:56
|
|||
Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

Turn To Stone
11:42
|
|||
Hey now, the well run dry
Pages of your book on fire
Read the writing
On the wall
Hoe down, it's a show-down
Ev'rywhere you look, we're fighting
Hear the call
And you know it's gettin' stronger
I can't last very much longer
Turn to stone
Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feelin'
And I don't know why it's takin'
Such a long time
Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
That the reasons keep changin'
Just to make the words rhyme
And you know it's gettin' stronger
Can't make 'em run much longer
Turn to stone
