Younger Man
03:42

I was a bad road that you were on
I was a bad love that done you wrong
I held on too tight, you held on too long
Oh, I was a bad love
I was all mind and no heart
I tore the edges until the edges tore apart
I tried to keep an even keel, at least ‘til dark
And then I was all mind
Sometimes the ticking is the bomb
And you shake, wide awake, in the calm
Cold light of your kitchen
Sinking in
It’s a bitter pill, this medicine
I’ve never been harder up than this place that I’m in
I was a desperate man
I was your engine light blinking red
I was the empty side of your bed
Another hungry mouth demanding to be fed
I was so lonely
Things were different when I was a younger man
Things were different when I was a younger man
Things were different when I was a younger man
When I was all heart, when I could do no wrong
And I was afraid of nothing
I was afraid of nothing
I was afraid of nothing

Who I Am Anymore
03:17

When I was young
When I was full
I thought that I
Was invincible
But now I’m older
And now I’m empty
And there’s a new love
That was born to kill me someday
And it is reckless
And undeterred
I can hear it coming, in the stillness
Without a word
But there’s a power
In disappearing
There’s a power in burning out
Like a beautiful star
Oh I don’t know who I am anymore
Oh I don’t know who I am
Tell the truth
Or tell a lie
Oh tell me which wool should we pull
Over our eyes
There is always time for some magic
There is always a place to hide your hideous crimes
Oh I don’t know who I am anymore
Oh I don’t know who I am
Won’t you strike up the band, baby
And let your heart on fire
If it’s slipping through your hands, maybe
It’s not what you desire
Oh I don’t know who I am anymore
Oh I don’t know who I am
Oh I don’t know who I am anymore
Oh I don’t know who I am

Misfit
04:16
|
|||
I made a mess of my dress
Just one too many I guess
And I don’t want to talk about it at all
(I just), I didn’t know who else to call
All these boys are so full of shit
Please never let me forget
And for the first time I felt like I belonged
And, now that feeling is gone
I will carry you home
I will carry you home
From one misfit to another misfit
I will carry you home
I can’t catch a Queens bound train
I’m walking home in the rain
This city takes the tragic and (tries to) sells it as magic
As if they’re one in the same
My head is spinning like a tilter-whirl
I’m searching for mercy in this world
And Christina’s at a party with the singer from that band
She says I’m his type of girl
I will carry you home
I will carry you home
From one misfit to another misfit
I will carry you home
I’m staring at this mirror now
And all this makeup looks like war paint somehow
They say I’ve got a reckless teenage razor heart
I’ve been nothing but trouble from the start
I’m trying to find my way through the dark
I lost my earrings in the park
And Christina’s such a phony, all her friends make me sick
with their cigarettes and their art
Past the shadows of the scrap metal yards
Through viaducts and boulevards
Well it feels like getting older is an act of disappearing
and I’m slipping into the dark
I will carry you home
I will carry you home
From one misfit to another misfit
I will carry you home

Belleville
04:27
|
|||
off a highway out of town
you were waving around
a surprise underneath the register
you just found
was it mercy, was it fear
the way you handled the cashier
who do you see now
when you look inside the mirror
oh oh oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh, oh, oh
the lights inside the store
the jingling of the door
oh the flash and the rattle
of a heart torn apart by war
bad dreams in Illinois
of being beaten as a boy
down in St. Clair County
they use a rag to cover up the noise
as far as you can tell
you were never young you were never well
you send a prayer from Belleville
if he can’t help who the hell will
eggs cold on your plate
100 miles of interstate
you know you can’t outrun
the mistakes you were born to make
now you have become the kind of man
you cannot free nor understand
you chase your devils at night
with Old Crow and Ativan
oh oh oh, oh, oh
oh oh oh, oh, oh
you pulled the car up off the road
neon gas station lights glowed
You saw a clean-cut kid
at the cashier window
you swung the door and entered fast
cold cocked the boy and went for the cash
you lit the whole place up in
storm of hell fire and shattered glass
and as far as you can tell
you’re never growing old, it’s probably just as well
you send a prayer from Belleville
if he can’t help who the hell will
oh, you were out there on your own
oh and nothing could ever bring you home
your wicked heart it races
broken at its weakest places
and like a highway at night
it’s all white lines and empty spaces
but there’s a light out on the horizon
and from the darkness of your car
you know it’s too late to keep disguising
the kind of man you really are
and as far as you can tell
it was never easy, you had to fight like hell
you send a prayer from Belleville
if he can’t help who the hell will
if he can’t help who the hell will

Please Come Home
03:07
|
|||
Hold me, I’m feeling so lonesome
And nothing can save me, except the touch of your hand
You’re the only one who can console me
And I know I don’t deserve it, but I’m hurting so bad
I want you to please come home
I want you to please come home
Say to me, I can wrap myself inside your loving arms again
When you look me in the eyes you see your man, and then
I will lay all that I am at your feet
I want you to please come home
I want you to please come home

Somebody
04:36
|

I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody who still wants me around
It’s hard to be lonely, it’s harder to be proud
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I remember how you used to walk in front of my house
Pocketbook shoulder strap cutting through the center of your blouse
You were always such a danger, to everyone around
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody
I’ve been looking for someone
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been wondering if I ever should have let this go
Should I keep making strangers out of everyone that I used to know
I’ve been listening to Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness up loud
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
Work is tough, the kids are crazy, what more can I do
Maybe I should meet my maker if it takes this much to make it on through
I’m out here in the blue, riding on a shoeshine and a smile
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody
I’ve been looking for someone
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
I’ve been looking for somebody who won’t bring me down
