acting soft and the burns that resulted from
squaring off on the bridge and the damage done
far exceeds all the things that have been weighing on me
and you cant be bothered at all
or nothing tell me those odds
are not in my favor tell me to savor
the tall tales told by the fire enlightening
the wax and the prophet are
...
i'm feeling sick
i'm trying to quit
i must admit
i'm feeling it
i need a secret to quit
i need a secret to quit
...
zippered up to the nines when i'm leaving
the house at night neighbors see me breathing
or something to that effect it has an effect on me
most times i'm embaressed
but it does not seem to get me from stopping
no coughing empty wallets or walking
to stores through alleys persuasion is there
but not strong enough for me to make change now
...
honestly, i'm feeling sick
i've kept smoking, but i'm trying to quit
not successfully, i must admit
been a decade now, and i'm feeling it

supper at bon temps without kids at a restaurant
happens once a year if at all
stay at the senator hotel figure might as well
its so close to where we're going we could crawl
...
we imagine what are lives could have been
which house we'd be living in
as we drive around bethune
we built our lives on routine
but now my dad is on morphine
and i am in saskatoon
...
we're in bed around ten watching cnn
almost thirty one and dozing off
we check out and make our way
to the broadway cafe
table for two and coffee with you
is all i want

tape on the walls, hiding holes
the action that i've missed baffels me
the dust i've swept, under rugs well kept
got the feeling that someone is cheating
...
the truth that cut sharp, we both played our part
the jagged remains of a scar
conversation starts, about broken hearts
with girls i try and score with at bars
...
easy, thats what i'm trying to be
easy, like you ontop of me
easy, my reputation is sleezy
...
shirts i've torn, shoes i've lost
the mornings that i can not recall
it hurts to be shown, the bill and the cost
memories of thee night before

i am so high ask me in an hour
i am so high ask me like my mother
if i'm alright ask me like my mother
if i'm all alright
...
apple orange blood or baked
can you see do you wake
everyday famously
growing up home loan
in a bind just a loan
killer rates
love is a danger zone
...
married men not of age
on rebound pay and play
queen hooker rich and gay
single girls televise
underwear velvet tights
walkings not exercise

woke up on the wrong side of the bed
said some things but you must have misread
its not like i tried to hurt you
but i guess thats the way you took the words
or how they were said
came home from a night
of friends and drinks
whispered sweet nothings
but you say you needed space to breathe
its not like i tried to hurt you
but i guess thats the way you took the words
or how they were said
its not like i tried to hurt you
its not like i tried

some nights i leave, some night i'm gone for hours at a time
i know we fight, i know we fight, i know we fight
but babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,
yes babe our love is real
...
tell me now your threshold
so i dont ever cross
we'll keep within our boundaries babe
and we'll minimalize love lost
...
well we exchange, verbal jabs at one another babe
i know we fight, i know we fight, i know we fight
but babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,
yes babe our love is real
...
one thing i know, i will tell you so you never have a doubt
i love you so, no matter what we scream and shout
i know we fight, i know we fight, i know we fight
but babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,
yes babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,
yes babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,
yes babe our love is real, yes babe our love is real,

will you kill me
what i put you through
will you haunt me
now that i left you
is it my fault
but i've got no boy scouts award
she was pretty easy, like 1984
go i'm so old
...
i'm in love with someone else now baby
...
there's a fine line
between too old and much too young
but i've been on a bender with red wine
the first band has yet to begun
and i'm wasted
but i'm pulling it off rather well
there's my new girlfriend
i'll kiss her but she will never tell anyone
cause i'm way too old
...

all of the eyes
dark and light
intense and mournful
turned on sight
when i made a noise
and explain i tried
but words froze on lips
and i began to cry
and i know why

when i look in your eyes
this isnt working out
...
people say that they've noticed
lately your not around
i dont care if they know this
but we are on shaky ground
some people say that you've left me baby
man this feels so weird
some people say that they're worried now
that i'm shaving off my beird
...
and you cry and you cry
when i look in your eyes
and you've said once or twice
that this isnt working out
...
i dont care if they've noticed
let them gossip and talk
its all whispers and rumors
smoke and mirrors and shock
some people say that you've left me baby
man this feels so weird
some people say that they're worried now
that i'm shaving off my beird
...
people say that they've noticed
lately your not around

its three forty five in the morning
my mouth is dry, wonder why
we've been fucking around now for hours
my brain is fried too much wine
your lips purse and whisper "the shimy?"
i say alright but i'm a bit tight
we put on a rock and roll ditty
and dance goodnight, away from sight
...
we do the cha cha cha, cha cha cha
we do the cha cha cha, cha cha cha
we do the cha cha cha,
we do the cha cha cha, cha cha cha, cha cha cha
...
who are all these people now dancing
i ought to know but i'm hammered so
no parties no smoking two rules
that i chose to ignore i just cant say no
your lips purse and whisper "the eagles?"
peace, love, death metal lets cut a rug
my smoke gets dropped in a bottle
and dance goodnight, away from sight
...

i wanted to see
everything you could
but you told me to leave
and i promised that i would
walk away and forget your name
...
i promised i'd try
but you trusted me too much
i'm not saying i lied
i'm not saying it's easy to
walk away and forget your name
...
i wanted to see
everything you could
but you told me to leave
and i promised that i would
i promised i'd try
but you trusted me too much
i'm not saying i lied
i'm not saying it's easy
