He says
He says
Forget the fact that I am leaving
He says
He says
That you’re possessed with a power bigger than the pain
I smile at the sound of a little man screaming
I wonder if the folks outside know he’s singing
Where’d all my friends run off to?
Where’s my sounding board?
Like a long drive
In a big white car
So far away where from home
He says
He says
You’re possessed that I’m leaving
He says
He says
That you’re possessed with a power bigger than the pain
Yeah
Yeah
There’s a power bigger than the pain
Living alone with your past mistakes
There’s a gutter better than the gain

That you’re possessed with a power bigger than the pain
A power bigger than the pain
A power bigger than the pain

Tattoos
Until I saw her
Soft girl in a hardcore bar
Until I saw her
Eyes bright like an idiot star
Until I saw her
One two three four
Until I saw her tattoos
I had resigned myself to a lonelier life
Shuffling shadows bought the warm glee of a warm true life
Until I saw her
Black kicks and a question mark
Until I saw her
Soft girl dancing in the dark
Until I saw her tattoos yeah
Until I saw her tattoos
I was a shadow of a wasted dream
Broken asphalt on the shimmering gleam instead of dreams
Until I saw her
My peril seemed so clear
Until I saw her
Set sailing in the world more scared
Until I saw her
Standing naked in the bedroom dead
Until I saw her tattoos
Until I saw her tattoos
Hey hey hey
Until I saw her tattoos
(Tattoos)
Until I saw her tattoos

Dog
I wonder what might have happened
Had the stupid man not lost his head
I wonder where the road would have led
To the White house
Or just another borrowed bed
Ask Gary Hart about it
And he'll probably say
He's thinking all about the might have beens
I hope he's thinking more about the day to day
Don't tell that me he's innocent
In his line of work there's no such thing
Gotta throw a bone to the horde below
Gotta feed the beast every now and again
Gotta pull the chains out around it's neck
You gotta pull it hard
Cause America feeds on its fallen
Just like a hungry dog
I wonder how they stand the strain
As they shuffle up and down the darkened lots
I don't care what their reasons were
Boys shouldn't sleep on the street in a cardboard box
Ask the powers that be about it
And they'll probably say
They're doing their best to solve the problems
Doing their best to make the guilty pay
Don't tell me that I'm innocent
In my line of work I've seen too much
Gotta throw a bone to the horde below
Rattle the gambit around and such
You gotta play the game the way it's played
You gotta play it hard
Cause America feeds on it's fallen
Yeah America deals with its problems
Like a stumbling dog
Yeah, like a stumbling dog
Like a stumbling dog
Like a stumbling dog
Yeah, like a stumbling dog
Like a stumbling dog
Like a stumbling dog
Yeah yeah yeah
I wonder how they stand the strain
As they wander up and down the city blocks
I don't care what their reasons were
I don't care what they do for the pain they start
Ask Gary Hart about it
And he'll probably say
He's thinking all about the future
Hope that motherfucker is thinking all about the day to day
Don't tell me that he's innocent
In his line of work there's no such thing
You gotta throw a bone to the horde below
Gotta feed the beast every single day
You gotta pull the chains out around its neck
You gotta pull it hard
Cause America deals with its problems
Yeah America deals with its fallen
America feeds on its fallen
Like a hungry dog
Like a hungering dog
Like a hungering dog
Yeah like a hungering dog
Yeah like a hungering dog
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Dead Flowers (Rolling Stones)
Well, when you’re sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won’t see me
In my ragged company
You know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you’re sitting back
In your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky derby day
I’ll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. mail
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won’t forget to put dead roses on your grave
Come Around
Yeah, you left me out
You held me down
You fucked me up
But I’ll get you at the come around
I’ve got every good thing I got coming to me
Everything I let you steal
Come away from the place you feel the best
Come away from the ones you think you love
Yeah, I’ll you pay
I’ll make you feel the way I do everyday
Come on Johnny do the act
Come on John, John do the stupid dance
Do the make believe for me
Make believe why things never worked for you
Make believe the reasons why
Tell yourself the world’s to blame
Tell yourself it’s not your fault again
Again
Again
Yeah
Yeah I’ve seen your brand new friends
They don’t know you like I do
They don’t know
That there’s nothing behind the mouth that mutters
Come on, Johnny play the fool
Come on sing that same old stupid song
Let me see you play
Let me see you animate
Let me see you animate
Yeah yeah at the come around
We’re gonna have us a jamboree
We’re gonna share with her what we have
While walking shaking brave and free
There ain’t no heaven and hell
In this life there’s a come around
Where you’ll judge and will be judged
By the people you hate
Yes Johnny you will be judged
Yeah you will be judged
Yeah you will be judged
At the come around
At the come around
At the come around
Woah yeah yeah
Shaking Brave
Hey remember when the sun shimmered in your hair
As we made our way through that acid summer
Hey remember how the sound of glory felt
As our feet fell hard to the beat of that acid drummer
Yeah yeah yeah
When you left it all went gray
I couldn’t eat, there just ain’t no way
All my friends say that I was falling apart
From day to day
All the colors in my world
Don’t seem quite right
And I call your name in the night
Baby, I call your name in the night
It was so so cool
Yeah we were all so blind
Never knew the drugs were the problem
Never knew the pain was inside
You had long blonde hair
Mine was long and dirty brown
Charmaine you set me up
And when you walked away
You came and cut me down
When you left it all went gray
I couldn’t deal there just ain’t no way
With the callous things you thought
Yeah, the stupid things you’d say
All the colors in my world
Don’t seem quite right
Cause I call your name in the night
Baby, I call your name in the night
All I see
Is just the endless truth
Hey let me jump the face of a girl that I once knew
Yeah
All I need
Is just the flame that burns
In the heart and mind of a hungry girl
All I need is a hungry girl
I hear all about the things you do
And it brings me down
Burning out in a nowhere life
While I’m shaking to a brave new sound
Brave new sound
Brave new sound
Brave new sound
Our Weird Year
We have been living a lie
We never do more than we have to
I am afraid of the simple truth
That maybe I am
Just maybe I am like you
Maybe I'm better than
Than you say I am
Maybe I'm better than
Than you think I am
We have been faded away
We never see more than we have to
I am afraid of the ugly truth
That I cringe inside
I just cringe inside
Whenever I kiss you
I am afraid of what I now know
That I hate our lie
That I hate our home
All I really want to do is just to be alone
All I really want to do is just to be alone
Our seven weird years
Took way too long
More than twice enough the time
Know that we were wrong
Our seven weird years
Took way too long
More than twice enough the time
Know that we were wrong
Know that we were wrong
We were wrong
I know, yes we were wrong
We have been living a lie
We have been living a lie
