Help me break the lock off the front gate
As far as I can see, there's no more reason to wait
Help me take down the fences that we built
There ain't no point in crying out over this hill of beans we spilt
And I can't keep my guard up for you no more
And loving me shouldn't have to be a chore
And I know it could never be like it was before
So I won't keep my guard up for you no more
Help me get this wounded look off of my face
It doesn't remind me of myself and all the efforts gone to waste
And I'm sorry for the tracks I left behind
But to simply let it slide, you really are too kind
Still I can't keep my guard up for you no more
And I'm afraid that you're behind every door
And if my pain to end is all I'm working for
Why keep my guard up anymore?
Anymore...
When I ask you, "Are you in or not?"
You say, "I'm here, let me clear my thoughts."
When I offer you another round
You go and pour my whiskey out
Now I ain't gonna get all sore
But I know I told ya many times before
That my heart, it ain't as strong as yours
I can't keep my guard up for you no more
No I can't keep my guard up for you no more
There's a rain cloud over your head I can't ignore
And I just don't bag it out before it starts to pour
Cuz I can't keep my guard up for you no more
I can't keep my guard up...

Maybe I'm looking this all wrong and there's just nothing wrong at all with what I'm doing.
Maybe I'm over it and maybe it's time to quit and now I'm just kicking it all back to you and...
I know I blew my brains out somewhere down the line
But I cannot remember when or why it got this way
It got this way
Well the train rolls by in the middle of the night and sometimes I think about leaving town
Other nights I laugh as I stumble down the tracks, just waiting for the damn thing to come and run me down.
I know I blew my brains out somewhere down the line
But I cannot remember when or why it got this way
It got this way
I know I blew my brains out somewhere down the line
I know I blew my brains out somewhere back in time
I know I blew my brains out somewhere down the line
But I cannot remember when or why it got this way
It got this way
It got this way
It got this way
It got this way...

I was killed on a beautiful day we should all be so lucky to go that way.
It was a quick passing, it was painless and I wouldn't do it different even if I could change it.
I knew eventually that something had to break, just didn't think that it would be today.
Well I born again on the blackest night without a cent to my name and not a soul in sight.
But I knew I wasn't doing as bad as I might so I went looking for someone I knew in my past life.
I knew that someday that I'll forget my name just didn't think I'd live to see the day.
In the parade of souls that fell from God's hand
I dropped into the body of a thin white man.
And I scrounged for a place among the Americans
Seeking to be understood but never to understand
Because above all the rest I must meet my demands
Even if it takes the life from me.

Oh sometimes
Said it gets hard just to rise
It's gonna be alright
Said it's gonna be alright
When I find you
I swear I'm gonna find you.
I wanna see you playing in the dirt
When the morning sun rises and lights the earth
I wanna help you with your dirty work
I wanna help you get through because you help me too
You make me want to wake up
You make me want to wake up
You make me want to wake up
Yes you do
You make me want to wake up
You make me want to wake up
You make me want to wake up
Yes you do
Look what we've begun (I can make it grow)
And when it's all done (We can just let it go)
Where it comes from (It's not for me to know)
It's not for me to know
I wanna see you playing in the dirt
When the morning sun rises and lights the earth
I wanna help you with your dirty work
I wanna help you get through because you help me too
You make me flip, you do
You make me flip, you do
You make me flip, you do
Yes, you do
You make me flip, you do
You make me flip, you do
You make me flip, you do
Yes, you do
Yes, you do
I wanna see you playing in the dirt
When the morning sun rises and lights the earth
I wanna help you with your dirty work
I wanna help you get through because you help me too
I wanna see you playing in the dirt...

It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance
We might save your soul
It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance
We might save your soul
When it's time to work, I get down to it
I know when and when not to fight my way through it
I hope you like my methods, but if not
I hope you like my hustle cuz my hustle's what I got
I'm not in my own little world
It's not about you girl
I've been watching the signs and its
Dancing time
It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance
We might save your soul
It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance
We might save your soul
I didn't come to mess around, I wanna get down, I wanna drown in the surround sound
Rock steady, gettin' heavy, gonna dance all up on you if you let me.
Don't wanna fight or chat or have a few beers
Flirt or mingle, or get to know my peers
I'm just trying to keep my soul alive so come dance with me in
Five...Four...Three...Two...One...
I'm not in my own little world
It's not about you girl
I've been watching the signs and its
Dancing time
It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance
We might save your soul
It's too late.
We've taken control
But if you dance sucka
We might save your soul
Hey Philly
I want you to take me somewhere right now (OK)
Take me to the highest echelon of dance music!
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late
It's too late

Cry baby cry, why don't you?
Eyes open wide, why won't you?
Why won't you?
Before you park it on the carpet...
Dry dry skeleton
Drive by on Chicago Avenue
Wake wake from a salt flat sleep
Take a break from a sun-dried dream
Shiver shutter sputter straight to the marrow
Tightened talons to the lungs of a sparrow
You can't hold the water
You can't hold the water
Cry baby cry, why don't you?
Tides on the rise, why won't you?
You can't hold the water
You can't hold the water
Skin and bones won't hold the water
You can't hold the water
When you're flying, what use is the ground?
When you're up, what use is the down?
Maybe baby if you squeeze a little harder
Your pretty palms could hold a bit of water.
Squeeze a little harder...

You walked into the room,
my heart stopped moving.
Couldn't pull my eyes away from you,
just sipping from your bourbon.
You laughed with all your friends,
then you touched her hand.
And there you sat together, two.
There was nothing I could do.
I know I can't have you.
You'll never feel it too.
She don't deserve a man like you
To treat you like the way she do
With all the fights and all the blame
How could any love remain?
I've loved you since the start,
It tears my world apart.
Only music that we make
And no one's heart will break.
And no one will be wise,
Except these watching eyes.
But none of you will say a word,
Make this promise to me.
I know I can't have you.
You'll never feel it too.
Loving you is strange, there's no way to rearrange.
Forwards and backwards, it's always the same.
Why can't I call you? Why can't I write?
Could hide in the corner or I could put up a fight.

You burning a dollar to light your stove
I got them holes in my zapatos
Ooooh, I know, we're broke, on the dole
Please Ben Bernanke, you gotta help me through this
I spent my allowance, need your monetary prowess
I'ma clean up my act for good
You and me, raised on the same street. I flunked out right after Bob Kennedy.
Your PHD, your MIT, won't you lend me your securities?
Like a teenage driver on the phone, you see you borrow from impossible
I'm on the street, my feet are wet, it's just this once I thought you said.
Please Ben Bernanke, you gotta help me through this
I spent my allowance, need your monetary prowess
I'ma clean up my act for good
I'ma clean up my act for
good and I have had enough
lows and highs and highs and lows
to know that only faith is gonna carry me through.
Is gonna carry me through
But I have faith in you

If I could be
More like my mother, a lot like my father and less unsavory.
We'd take a trip
Back to Chicago where all the wind blows and set our minds free.
You always said you wanted to know the truth
I just wanna know how things got so bad for you
The truth is I'm so tired from all of this.

You always said you wanted to know the truth
I just wanna know how things got so bad for you
Well, the truth is I'm so tired from all of this.
We have retired from all of this
We've learned what we will miss
Your body's not gone so far from here
Soon it will disappear
We have retired from all of this
We've learned what we will miss
Your body's not gone so far from here
Soon it will disappear
We have retired from all of this
We've learned what we will miss

I am so tired from all of this
And I've learned what I will miss
My body's not gone so far from here
And soon it will disappear

Well well well
It can happen quick, yeah it's just a trick
Performed with smoke and mirrors
I see those two anyway
In my day to day
And even if it's not, we'll all say it's great
Trade some spice and lace
To get a whole ca-ca-case of mace
Empty one can in one eye, MVP is aerosol
Now don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
You can crack it with your teeth
That don't bother me
If you'd rather see a busy father be(e)
While the mother reads and baby daughter feeds
An older brother needs help
Cuz his evil deeds
Tell all those little bees
In the colony
That he's fallin', see?
So let's see him fall
We could see it all
Little streaks of yellow and black, those yellowjackets...
It can happen quick, yeah it's just a trick
Performed with smoke and mirrors
But I see those two anyway
In my day to day
And even if it's not, we'll all say it's great
Trade some spice and lace
To get a whole ca-ca-case of mace
Empty one can in one eye, MVP is aerosol
Now don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?
Don't you feel alive?

Far from here, I saw it clear
Far from here, I saw it clear
And I've had it though, this is not compatible
We can hideout in the attic and listen to static stereo
And I've had it though, this is not compatible
We can hideout in the attic and listen to AM radio
And I've had it though, don't you know
That this is far too soon
And I've had it though, and don't you know
That I need someone
This is where I saw it, I thought I brought it
Could have never gone without it, no doubt about it
This is where I saw it, I thought I brought it
But never got it, no doubt about it
Hey!
Never gonna let it
Go!
Never, never gonna let it
Go!
Never ever gonna let it
Go!
My God it's happening again, again.
As you've heard, I'm lost inside today
I'm not asking for your pseudo-sympathy
Oh my God it's happening again, again.
But they stare and they stare through the dark and the night
And they wait and they stare and they wait, where's the light?
And they stare and they wait and they wait and they stare
And they grasp and they pull at their hair, where's the air?
They stare and stare and stare through the dark through the night
And they wait and they wait, where's the light?
