I could sleep
I could sleep
I could sleep
I could sleep
when I lived alone
Is there a ghost in my house?

I could sleep

when I lived alone
Is there a ghost in my house?
when I lived alone
Is there a ghost in my house?
my house...

I could sleep

when I lived alone
Is there a ghost in my house?
my house...

In the lobby of the LRC
Well I knew I'd find something
A hundred stroies sittin there to read
I got my focals out I put 'em on

and all is calm, all is calm

Theres a doggie coming here to eat now
which dated back to 1993
I don't care what the people say 'cause
that dog he don't come around here anymore

no, no the dog is gone, the dog is gone
no, no the dog is gone, the dog is gone

The town is so small
how could anybody not
look you in the eyes
the way that you drive by

The world is such a wonderful place
The world is such a wonderful...

I see everyone before me, there was birthday sex and sleep
some weren't getting along
nobody's outside trying to murder
nobody's outside, there's no one really at all

what the hell i saw, the hell i saw
the hell i saw, the hell i saw

The town is so small
how could anybody not
look me in the eyes
the way that I drive by

The world is such a wonderful place
The world is such a wonderful place
The world is such a wonderful place
The world is such a wonderful place
La di da, La di da, La di da, La di da

It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do

But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard

And take a little walk when the worst is to come
When I saw you looking like I never thought
And say you're at a loss or forgot that words can do more than harm

The town is gonna talk, but these people do not
See things through to the very minimal
But what's it gonna cost to be gone?
If we see you like I hoped we never would

When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way

So take it as a song or a lesson to learn
And sometime soon be better than you were
If you say you're gonna go, then be careful
And watch how you treat every living soul

My eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way
When eyes can't look at you any other way,
Any other way, any other way

If your trials end, are really getting you down
We had a close call, I didn't even see it, then another one, I hardly believed it at all.
What the writers say, it means shit to me now.
Plants and animals, we're on a bender when it's 80 degrees, the end of December was going on,
Only for you and me.
When the showing up ends, going back to the south, where hungry necks that I know, and runnin'
A blender in a lightning storm, disguised as a blessing I'm sure.
growing up here, there comes a fork in the road, parents have gotta go, we're on an island on
The fourth of July, looks like the tide is going home.
In time I'd find a little way to your heart, down to the general store for nothing specific,
Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore - only for you and me

If the trials up here
Are really getting you down
You had a close call
I didn't even see it in another one
I hardly believed it all

What the writers say
It means shit to me now
Plants and animals
Appear on the bend when its 80 degrees
The end of December whats going on
Now before
You and me

In the showing up here
Its going back to the south
Were hungry next that I know
And running a blender in a lightning storm
The disguise is a blessing i'm sure

And growing up here
There comes a fork in the road
Pants have got to go
We're on an island on the 4th of July
It looks like the tide is going home

In the time i find
A little way to your heart
Now to the general store
For nothing specific
Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore
Now before you and me

Here's a copy
of a lesson you know,
and put the kind words to bed.

For man don't say why,
or even know how,
it's only awful as
the hell that you know.

When islands want to coast,
islands want to coast,
they'll know how,
yeah, they'll know how.

And only hours before
the house had burned down,
he shut the other door.

But if i don't see now,
or even know why,
it's only awful
as the hell that you know.

When islands want to coast,
islands want to coast,
they'll know how,
yeah, they'll know how.

Home, home, home. (x4)

He was writing in
the lesson you know,
let's take the other door.

Now if i don't think right,
or even know how,
it's only awful
as the hell that you know.

When islands want to coast,
islands want to coast,
they'll know how,
yeah, they'll know how.

Home, home, home. (x4)

I'll marry my lover in a place to admire
I don't have to even ask her I can look in her eyes
And thank God that I am forgiven
I thank all my friends
To say I've been truer or they forgotten

Marry my mind is to say the least
its been awful hard to just stand on my feet
I think I'll slow down if I am able
I won't drown in the ocean
For starving my place at the table

Lucky ones are we all til it is over
Everyone near and far
When you smile the sun it peaks through the clouds
Never die for always be around and around and around

How is your sister and what of your brother
Extend hellos to your father and mother
What in the world would cause you any sorrow
Like tea in your loaf
And see how I killed the wheel barrel I borrowed

Lucky ones are we all til it is over
Everyone near and far
When you smile the sun it peaks through the clouds
Never die for always be around and around and around

Working man's day wage, just piss it away
Leaves it out in the weather

Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt
Wash your hands of it forever

Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the hope, see it unravel

Drunk brother said he could reason with them
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????

The picture was left on the front porch, well that's it
I love you, don't you ever become ????

My body knows there's a hell with my soul
We don't even know the difference

The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????

And why, did we live so long
So long
So long

[bridge]

The house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wonder
Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bells
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????

And why, did we live so long
So long
So long

[bridge]

While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
While they lied at night, they lied at night, ????
Oh....

Erase the facts
the shit was flyin' outta the window
I painted blue
I paint the whole room

When its time to get in trouble
we know just what to do

the screen door swayin'
now baby gimme something to live for
i been a fool
i been a fool

no revelations in the water
no tears into the booze

In pains the floor
the worried people shaking the whole house
i i take it back
i take it all back

the regret thats got us sayin'
the hounds upon the tracks

and always in time
i'm never looking over my shoulder
i sing to you
i sing it to you

keeping heads above the water and
feet into the shoes
