Nude Descending A Staircase
How you threaten me with your good taste
It's been around and around in my head
But I still can't understand what you said
I've been around the world
I've been in every museum there is
The Met, The Tate, The Louvre and all the little ones in between
I've been in the same room with the Mona fucking Lisa
But Nude Descending A Staircase
How you threaten me with your good taste
I've been around the world
And no one's ever humiliated me like you
Now you're sitting there with your freshly bought new dog
Strangely enough you kind of remind me of your Mom
You buy your companionship
Ooh it's so cute and it never gives you any lip
But now that we're both comfortable
Let's play a nice game of charades
I've got a good one it's a movie
It's three words
And it stars a fat Orson Welles
F (is) for Fake
I saw it in some video store in the East Village
A big old fat Orson Welles on the cover
And that's what it seems like you are to me with this new guy that you're with
Nude Descending A Staircase
How you threaten me with your good taste

I don't know what I've been told
They say you never slow down
You never grow old
Or so I'm told
By my man Petty
And I don't know just what you read
But if your heart can't beat you're dead
Or so you said
As you ran out crying
Well I don't care what you think's best
I'll take my life and times in jest
And leave the rest
Cuz it's all bullshit
Love may make the world go round
But I can't be tied I can't be bound
Lost nor found
Just like my man Dylan
But now everywhere I go I swear I can't be found I can't be known
Or left alone
Without damage
And everywhere I lay my head I'll be that same old trail of dead
Bathed in red
Tucked under my covers
Cuz every day I'm waking up I fill my mind my head my cup
With our old love
And all our old stories
And every night I lay in bed
I see you there you're in my head
Not quite dead
Yeah but you're not living
But don't wait up you do your thing
I'll meet you once I become King
Of everything
Yeah every last corner
And if and when I change my mind
I hope you won't think me unkind
When I resign
Hook line and sinker
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
God made hell and the devil made heaven
A B C D E F G
God made you and the devil made me
≠
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
God made hell and the devil made heaven
So 10 & 11 could meet 12 & 13
A B C D E F G
God made you and the devil made me
So all could see both the whole and the empty

Pretty girls make cold graves
Yeah baby Jack said it best
Pretty girls'll make you their slave
Til' you ain't got nuthin' left
Pretty girls'll walk on your heart
With their pretty high heel shoes
Pretty girls'll break you, and fake you, mistake you
Just for fun
You can't break my heart
Because it's already broke(n)
And pretty boys will drive u insane
And guess what you're paying for the gas
Pretty boys will say you're to blame
When they're a pain in the ass
Pretty boys will do what they want
And not give a fuck or a dime
And you will thank the Lord for every minute
Of their time
You can't break my heart
Because it's already broke(n)
O yes I find it annoying
Yea that's tru
But I'm not walking away
I'm only saying it's hard when I meet some
New beautiful girl every day
I'm trying to hold it all in my head
But I swear it's fucking scrambling my brain
But oh how I love the pain
How I love the pain

It's four in the morning the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening
And I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now
I hope you're keeping some kind of record
Yes and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
The last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train there
And you came home without Lili Marlene
And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back
She was nobody's wife
Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --
She sends her regards
And what can I tell you my brother my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way
If you ever come by here for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping and his woman is free
Yes and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good
So I never tried
And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear --
Did you ever go clear?

Gone To Hell

Shout down and post around
What you gonna say
Sobered up and falling down
Every other day
Yeah I've seen you be nice before
So I'm never coming back
Cuz twice told I fell into
Your famous Manipulation trap
It's gone to hell
Tongue tied with alcohol
You're all turned around
In bed with Nembutal
To leave without a sound
You would "kill all the redneck fags"
And "put them in the ground"
Blithe piss and vinegar is the
Recipe you found
It's gone To Hell
But this time things will be different
You say
Narcissize suicide
There's no coming back
Cult vibes and diatribes
You say we're right on track
But you're not even a person anymore
You're just a parasitic sap
And twice told I fell into
Your famous manipulation trap
It's gone to hell
You say that all that anger you once had
It has gone away
That your mind's been fixed
And you're on to better days
This time things will be different
You say
Big smiles and promises
Oil spills and Ebola scares
You don't know what you're asking for
When you're wising up this late
It's dark times for your comeback kid
And that's the least that I can say
It's gone to hell

This time I'll see
What I'll only one day find out
And no it's not in the sun
It's not in the sea
It's not in the sea
And so I'll guide myself
Right into quiet lightly
And find exactly what I need
Coming into me
It's coming right into me
But once I'm outside
I'll never come back finally
I'll make a fool of what I've seen
Of what it really means
Of what it really means

I Don't Know Why
05:34

You came around and you took the palm of my hand and you cried
You asked me how come I never come no around no more
I don't know why I don't know why no I don't know why
You said come on let's go down to the river so we can skip stones
I said alright but first you go and put on your white dress
So we left and went over to your Momma's place
There we found your Daddy drunk he was passed right out
And I saw he had a big old scorpion tattooed on his neck
And you said that's from when his first girlfriend left him for his best friend
And we walked down by the river side and we talked while we walked
I asked you will you take my hand and marry me
You looked away and you turned your back then you said okay
We laid down right underneath the old Sycamore tree
And we made love and you drew blood and you wiped some on my cheek
And you said how come you waited so long to ask me for my hand
Well I don't know why no I don't no why
Baby no one knows why

This time I'll try
To take control of my life
I'll get up out of bed
Knock this confusion from my head
Why can't I be half as free as I wanna be
As I know I should be
Then the next day I'll fly so high up into the sky
I'll swear I can't be beat
And run a fucking marathon on no sleep
Why can't I hold on to this cloud nine I get on when I stay up til dawn
I swear it's always long gone the next day
When I go to turn it back on
I gotta refill my cup
And it's never ending
But I'm in love with you I'm in love with you
Can't you see it's impending
And it will be neither doom nor gloom
More likely you will swoon
And invite me up into your room
We'll be glowing like the moon
As I enter your womb
Oh whoops is it too soon to say such things
Ok yeah I'm sorry
Can I come back another day
No? FUCK
So the next day I'll cry
So hard I nearly lose my mind
I'll straight up wish that I was dead
And wonder why I even got out of bed
And then it's one more drink and I'm done
Mississippi God Damn there's nothing under the sun
And we're all staring at a gun
So we might as well yeah
Try and have some fun
Won't you give me a chance
Just once perchance to sleep or to dream
Laying by your side
Cuz I don't want to be alive
Unless you are there and I can play with your hair
And place it softly over and behind your pretty little ear
Year after year we ain't got nothing to fear
No we ain't got nothing to fear
Oh yeah because
I can't tell how I know or what yeah it means
We were just meant to be
So naturally
So maybe this time I'll try
To take control of my life
I'll get up out of bed
Knock this confusion from my head
Cuz I don't wanna be sad
I don't wanna be sad

Take Time
03:55
|

|
There ain't no running
From all that's surely coming
There ain't no ecaping
What's there and at your door
So don't waste time wishing
On things that can't be helped now
On a fate you may be wanting
But that ain't yours and that's for sure
Take time
For making peace
With all that has happened
And all that ever will
Cuz you'll surely be hurting
In a world this strange and open
That cares no one way
Or another for a thing
Yes but only for what happens
What goes on and what's unfolding
What you hate love and long for
To the world it's all the same
Take Time
To lay to rest
All that has hurt you
And all that surely will
Take time
And make your peace
With all that has happened
And all that never will
For thine is the kingdom

Nothing Means Anything
12:36
|
|||
|
I stand in the sun and look up
I see the moon there like a little tin cup
I walk to the store and see a couple fighting
I think to myself love looks so inviting
I get a call from my baby brother
And get ready for another disappointment
Cuz in my mind I've already decided
He's a selfish deriding fool
So I pick up the phone and that's exactly what I get
I decide that I was right and this I'll never let him forget
But the only truth that really is there
Is that I decided it would be that way
So who's surprised
Nothing means anything
Except for what you make it
My Mother gets mad and yells at me on the phone
And that's why I'd rather just be alone
But again the only thing that really is there
Is that from what happened I got really scared
I thought well I've got to protect myself
I've got to worry about maintaining my health
So maybe I'm never gonna take no people's calls no more
And at best I'm gonna build some kind of wall around my heart so it will never again be sore
But this is all just meaning I have added
It gives me something that I am addicted to
Meanwhile I've lost my brother my mother and my self
It's cost me my happiness my love and my health
Nothing means anything
Except for what you make it
Nothing means anything
And that means you're free to do anything
So go outside or don't
Do you see a difference cuz I certainly don't
Is there a God above well we don't know
If you choose there to be well then there you go
Cuz we're not on this planet Earth for too long
You might as well fill your heart and soul with a song
Of love and help and health and joyfulness and laughter
Cuz that's all this skin and bones really is after
So go outside or don't
Is there any difference oh no no no
Cuz nothing means anything and that means nothing
And that means you're free to do anything
