There’s a Girl

There’s a girl I know

Well she’s waiting for me endless in the street

Yes she loves me and she wants me for all time

Well she do most anything to make it right

There’s a girl I know

There’s a girl I know

There’s a girl

Somebody said that she’s left this town

And she is not coming back

I must find her if it takes me all my life

Cuz I need that girl to make me understand

Life ain’t that bad no, it’s just the way you planned

There’s a girl I know

There’s a girl I know

There’s a girl

There’s a girl I know

Well she’s waiting down at the end of a pretty street

She ain’t angry no she loves most everything

She wants to hold me close tonight you know

Gona do all those things that nobody else can do.

This is fine

I met a girl a little while ago

Her name was Mary Teresa I swear

She said she lived in Alaska

Until her momma died

And now she lives with a drunk

And This Is Fine

She made me think about the friends I had

And all the love that seems to have come and gone

All the restless evenings, all of the sad goodbyes

And how we never seem to see

This Is Fine

Take a look out your front door

The ordinary man is doing fine

He dances in the sunshine

He even dances when it rains

And all he’s got to say is

This Is Fine

I love my family

The friends I’ve made and even

My stupid job

And if I go to Hell tomorrow

Just knowing you for a while

I got to tell ya darling

This Is Fine

Talk to you

I sit and think of my relations

I was born a catholic child

But now I stare out stormy windows

And talk to you

I heard them ask if I’m a rich man

They seem convinced that I’m a fool

I wonder how much they can take now

Guess I’ll talk to you

Somebodies selling, somebodies buying

Everybody wants everything

And in the end it’s all a lot of nothing

That’s why I talk to you

I’m tired scared and alone now

I don’t know what to do

How I’d love a destination

So I talk to you

Miss Me

It ain’t easy baby, it ain’t hard

To see what’s happened here

And whats gone wrong.

Look around you, we just don’t get along

This ain’t about who’s right or wrong

It’s not a battle to be won

Its just you only miss me when I’m gone

Maybe someday honey you’ll understand

This ain’t no mystery, ain’t no magical plan

It’s time for one of us to take a stand

This ain’t about who’s right or wrong

It’s not a battle to be won

It’s just you only miss me when I’m gone

Can’t take it with you, can’t leave it behind

Can’t ignore it, cus it’s messin your ming

We both want to fix it, we just ain’t got the time

This ain’t about who’s right or wrong

It’s not a battle to be won

It’s just you only miss me when I’m gone

Before I Wake

No I don’t really love you

And you don’t love me

We could make such sweet music

Baby, all night long

And you don’t have to love me

Come the dawn

And you don’t have to call me up on the phone

All you got to do is be gone

I’ve had some crazy dreams girl

But they were not like this

Darling you made me love you

Then you just walked away

Well I’ve been waiting here

For much to long

Unlike you I just keep holding on

But I’ll get over this too

Let’s talk bottom line here.

What do want from me

I can’t promise forever

But I’ll promise you this

Ain’t no better place to weather a storm

Ain’t no softer place to rest your head

Hell we might even fall in love

Before I wake

You’ve been rippin the sheets right off of my bed

Honey nothing’s wrong with that

But you’re leaving me cold in the morning light

Baby that’s gota stop

14 With a Bullet

I could have been anything

I could have been the president

I could have saved the whole world

I’m sure you’ll never know

Tonight I’m bleeding all over you’re streets

I’m 14 with a bullet

And I’d Love to change the way the story ends

I joined a gang for family

I signed up for security

Yea I carry a gun. so?

So does everyone else

Tonight I’ll be on your 10 O’clock news

My little sister walks to school

She don’t worry about a thing

she’s to young to understand

she’s walkin through a war zone

I pray she’ll never be 14 with a bullet

Trapped in a Church

I was trapped in a church 3 days from now

The light shined in but there was no way out

A barefoot nun came by and confirmed my doubt

You can never hope to get out of this place

If you don’t make up your mind you’re not in the race

You’ll never make it in this state of mind

By the way what were you expecting to find

I’ve been searching high and low for release

All I came here for was just some peace

A torn picture of the pope and a rosary lay

And I know everybody’s got their own beliefs

Everybody this they talk to the chief

Me I guess I probably got it the worst

See I’m stuck here alone; I’m trapped in a Church

Bridge

Maybe you can help me

I hide my head in my hands, because I don’t understand

Angry religion it’s an angry world

Every man has his own point of view

Every man thinks that he’s talking to you

Can you spare me a minute/can you spare me sometime?

What are you doing right now my God?

I knocked on the door one last time/to my surprise it swung open wide

I sat down on the steps and lit up a smoke

Got such a joy from all the passersby, was happy just to be alive

Just between me and you I loved being trapped in a church
