don't like my neighbors Well they're just not my kind And I think it might be all for the whales And I really don't mind If these are the golden years Then I think it's time to cash them in To sit in our rocking chairs And talk about the good old days I need understanding Just a pack or two To help me with my troubles, and what to do's I don't feel no raging There ain't nothing new Drop me in the ocean And paint me blue These are violent times And I only want to do my part To sink to hatreds depths and smile at what we've all become I need understanding Just a pack or two To help me with my troubles, and what to do's I don't feel no raging There ain't nothing new Drop me in the ocean And paint me blue |
(while your sleeping) (so quietly sleeping) (sleeping and dreaming) Dear Joan Don't walk out the doorway Because if you did, I believe I could honestly kill you Dear Joan I wanted to say I'm sorry for the screaming last night, And the nights before I've wanted more from this Than anything I've ever known Dear Joan I wanted to say I'm sorry for the screaming last night, And the nights before I've wanted more from this Than anything I've ever known Dear Joan |
Unkind Bring it on baby, what you getting into Is living on pain the thing that's getting to you Write my name, pin it up with my picture And say it's the only thing cuz I'm not around to be around I'm beating and battered Hell if my dreams get shattered then Pain gives me the right to be unkind Bring it on baby, what's with sudden devotion I trade a river of tears for just a little emotion You can curse my name, pin it up with my picture And say it's the last time that I'll be around to be around Oh well I'm torn and I'm tattered So the thoughts in my head they get scattered And pain gives me the right to be unkind And it set's me here Right back to the heart of it Jones Crazy is a slight defense from it Jones Crazy is a place I call my own, when I'm alone, dig Bring it on baby, what you getting into I swear at once it was the little things that mattered But it all seems true to you Say the hell with my name and say the hell with my picture Yeah but swear for the one time you need me around to be around Well I'm around right now And here I'll stand like it matters Only once gets through then gets scattered by the rain But pain gives me the right to be unkind And it sets me here Right back to the heart of it Jones Crazy is a slight defense from it Jones Crazy is a place I call my own Right back to the heart of it Jones Crazy is a slight defense from it Jones Crazy is a place I call my own, when I'm alone Right back to the heart of it Jones Crazy is a place I call my own, when I'm alone |
Dear Joan I've almost forgotten The pane in the window The blue dress in the doorway Dear Joan Help me remember The face I forget And the traps that I've sprung I guess I've grown tired It's just what's expected of me To tear your heart From the inside to the outside You know I was wired I just couldn't help it The hundred thousand times I hurt you Dear Joan I wanted to say I'm sorry for the screaming last night, And the nights before I've wanted more from this Than anything I've ever known Dear Joan Dear Joan Your face has a brightness That I've never seen In the years that I've known you Dear Joan I'd pick up the pieces But some scattered too far They flew when I kicked them I know you believed When I said it was over You stood by me patiently Waiting and brooding So deeply in love With every face that I've shown Dear Joan I wanted to say I'm sorry for the screaming last night, And the nights before I've wanted more from this Than anything I've ever known Once I forget Twice I'm a fool Three times I wrap My hands around your neck |
High She had said, don't cry Said it only hurts forever and all we have is time Yeah, she said she will never know So close your eyes, turn down the lights, And I can start this show Yeah well I can't sleep so I believe If the shades are drawn then the slate is clean So don't look at pride, well there is no other way now Don't try to make no sense of this scene, it's just between Caroline and me And we keep changing Yeah we can grow like a board on the shore She says I'm restless just a little more time Well you know damn well she wants to feel this high Yeah we knew just who we were Yeah well who we thought we'd try to be And who it's gonna hurt Oh but if I'd said, if I was strong at all Well then I wouldn't be with someone else I know where I belong Yeah well I can't sleep, so I believe If the shades are drawn, then the slate is clean So don't look at pride, well there is no other way, yeah Don't try to make no sense of this scene, it's just between Caroline and me And we keep changing anyway Yeah we can grow like a board on the floor She says I'm restless just a little more time Well you know damn well she wants to feel this high Yeah well I can't sleep, so I believe If the shades are drawn, then the slate is clean So don't look at pride, well there is no other way, yeah Don't try to make no sense of this scene, it's just between Caroline and me And we keep changing anyway Yeah we can grow like a board on the floor She says I'm restless just a little more time Well you know damn well she wants to feel this high She wants to feel this high� high high� high high |
