1.Won't Feel Better
Here she comes in the door＊
You know I've seen that look before
Like her “good enough” is always too good for me
I was here on the stage, where I could not escape her gaze
She always turned me on; she brought me to my knees
I won't feel better, not this time
If she breaks my heart again
Sending love down the telephone line, it's a game I just can't
win
I won't feel better, she gets me down
I'm 6 ft deep in the ground but I'm gonna let her
I'm going to let her, this time I won't feel better
No my girl has it been two years since I've been hating this
fool in the mirror
Since I got your shit between my ears, it's been nothing but bad
news
I did some things, I'm not proud
I came home drunk, I came home loud
And it seems like every time that I did I was thinking of you
I won't feel better, not this time
If she breaks my heart again
Sending love down the telephone line, it's a game I just can't
win
I won't feel better, she gets me down
I'll be 6 feet deep in the ground but I'm gonna let her
I'm going to let her, this time I won't feel better
You know that your driving me crazy
But darling could you please explain
Are you here tonight to save me or play me？
Are you the victim again？
I won't feel better, not this time
If she breaks my heart again
Sending love down the telephone line, it's a game I just can't
win
I won't feel better, she gets me down
I'll be 6 feet deep in the ground and I'm gonna let her
I'm going to let her, this time I won't feel better.
2.Pay The Devil
The devil lives in Austin, Texas＊
He signs his name in 6's, O's, and X's, just like I do.
Goes to work in a suit and tie
Claims to be a pretty good guy, like I do
You know it ain't true
He's got a little place at the top of the stairs,
Short on space, the walls are bare
But there's two little windows where the sun shines through.
While he stares down his nose at the world on the evening news
Oh and I'm just lucky I guess, that he is my good friend
When they lay me down to rest, I will owe my soul to him
But the sweeter part of the deal
That's the rest of my life with you
Baby all I've got to do, I've got to pay the devil his due.
The devil likes his MTV
Swears that he is just like me
He smokes to remind himself of you
And he said “Dear Lord please grant me this prayer”
But it never got him anywhere oh he speaks his mind with a
bottle of a wine in his blood
Oh he speaks his mind but he always speaks of love
Oh and I'm just lucky I guess, that he is my good friend
When they lay me down to rest, I will owe my soul to him
But the sweeter part of the deal, that's the rest of my life
with you
Baby all I've got to do, I've got to pay the devil his due, the
devil his due.
3.For The Sake Of The Song
Does anybody want to talk me？＊
Cause I don't wanna talk to anyone
She left me live, lost and incomplete
She left me for dead instead of young
And I don't wanna trust the seasons
To pull me through this time
No, I don't wanna know the reasons
As long as the pain still rhymes
Yeah but who's gonna love me now
Now that the light in my eyes is gone
I lost every thing, every thing I ever wanted somehow
It was all for the sake of the song
Does anybody wanna know the ghost in my dreams？
Cause nobody wants to know the nightmares in my head
They can pray the Lord my soul to keep
Before they lay me down to rest
It took me twenty-three years just to learn how to say
I figured out all of my fears and it's all gonna be okay
Yeah but who's gonna love me now
Now that the light in my eyes is gone
I lost every thing, every thing I ever wanted somehow
And it was all for the sake of the song
Yeah, it was all for the sake of the song
There are these things that I can't figure out
Certain things that I know nothing about
This whole 'love and learn' thing
This whole 'laugh till you cry' thing
This whole 'Live your life' thing
This whole 'write what you mean, shut up and sing' thing
This 'who's gonna love me now'
The things I know nothing about
Who's gonna love me now, things I know nothing about
Who's gonna love me now
Yeah but who's gonna love me now
Now that the light in my eyes is gone
I lost every thing, every thing I ever wanted somehow
It was all for the sake of the song
It was all for the sake of the song
4.Coming Home
Well its 32 degrees＊
Ain't seen the sun in seven days
I'm five miles east where the Balcones breaks
It gets light and dark again
I get so high that I'm right back down again
I saw your face on the TV screen
I read your name in a magazine
I heard your voice on the radio
I can't believe that I let you go
Where the stars are burning out like kerosene
You're here tonight in every one of my dreams
And I've come to hate the things I know
Cause I miss you, and I don't believe you're ever coming home.
I fall for you quicker, than the winter sun in the western
plains
My mind gets sicker, but your memory remains
Where ever you are, that's where I wanna be
Not alone in this bar on Fredericksburg and 7th street
I saw your face on the TV screen
I read your name in a magazine
I heard your voice on the radio
I can't believe that I let you go
Stars are burning out like kerosene
You're here tonight in every one of my dreams
And I've come to hate the things I know
Cause I miss you, and I don't believe you're ever coming home.
Well I can't pretend I don't know where you've been
Or where you'll be sleeping tonight
I can't drown it in sin, down underneath the deep end of my soul
No matter how hard I try
I saw your face on the TV screen
I read your name in a magazine
I heard your voice on the radio
I can't believe that I let you go
Stars are burning out like kerosene
You're here tonight in every one of my dreams
I've come to hate the things I know
Cause I miss you, and I don't believe you're ever coming home.
So I miss you, and I don't believe you're ever coming home.
5.Happy Anniversary
Happy anniversary heartache from Colorado Springs＊
It'll be a year again on Monday, January 17th
There's blood underneath my fingernails, there's whiskey on my
breath
I spent last night in cheap motel; 39 dollars did not get me any
rest
Cause it's snowing in Denver and it's raining down on me
Tonight I'm slow dancin' to another memory
Happy anniversary heartache, I'm sleeping alone again
On the shorter side of the give and take, I'm on the darker side
of sin
There's nothing around here, there's no love in the atmosphere
Just a cross and a rosary, baby I'm slow dancing
There's a certain someone in a photograph, she's gonna haunt me
to my grave
Along with the letters, postcards and the roses, don't forget
the love she never gave
Cause Valentines is coming, they swear tonight it's gonna freeze
I'm out here slow dancing to another memory
Happy anniversary heartache I'm sleeping alone again
On the shorter side of the give and take, I'm on the darker side
of sin
There's nothing around here, there's no love in the atmosphere
Just a cross and a rosary, baby I'm slow dancing to a memory
6.Lipstick
Careful where you leave your lipstick＊
'Cause everybody knows your shade
When you put it on my collar
It don't wash off for days
Your colors are on my pillow
Mascara memories where I lay
And curled up by the window
It's a perfume high, I just can't shake
Girl I've tried and I've tried to change my mind
But baby I was never good enough to fall in love
To feel your touch or to give you every thing you'd ever need
Cause you only call me up when you're short on love and down on
your luck
You let go of some other puppets strings
But if that's how its gotta be
I hope it makes you happy
You can take what you want
You can take what you need
You can even have my foolish pride
Its never done too much for me
I will play the fool; you know it's a role I can't deny
There ain't a thing I wouldn't do
Just to have you for one more night
Girl I've tried and I've tried to change your mind
But baby I was never good enough to fall in love
To feel your touch or to give you every thing you'd ever need
Cause you only call me up when you're short on love, you're down
on your luck
You let go of some other puppets strings
But if that's how its gotta be
I hope it makes you happy
7.Still In Love
I took the short way home for the first time today＊
I didn't drink a drop until 7 o'clock when I got the shakes
I didn't ask God to put you back in my arms
I've given up on wonder dust, foolish pride and lucky charms
Oh I'm still in love
Even after every thing I know
Yes I'm still, I'm still in love
I can't let go
Cause I've got poison underneath my skin and bones
Jenny had a baby
You know I didn't even know
Ain't seen that girl in about a year or so
She came out Tuesday, she sang along
She bought the band a round because we played her favorite song
She just wanted to see one last show
But she didn't wanna cheat so she had to go
And I'm still in love
Even after everything I know
Yes, I'm still, oh I'm still in love
I can't let go
Cause I got poison underneath my skin and bones
My heart is heavy if my head is light
I'm dragging ball and chain as I walk the floor
I've got cobwebs and clouds gathering 'round my head tonight
But if love is rain then let it pour
I don't think I can take it anymore
I'm still in love,
Even after every thing I know
Yes, I'm still, I'm still in love
Even after everything I know
Yes, I'm still, Oh, I'm still in love
I can't let go
Cause I got poison underneath my skin and bones, underneath my
skin and bones
8.Need You
It's dark in this room＊
And I don't know just what to do
Should I pour out my heart with a third “I love you”
Cause you never say nothing back
In fact, you never say too much at all
No, I never learned how to react
I know you never learned when to call
Which leads me to the question,
Why are you here tonight？
For one more dark confession,
Or maybe one more goodbye？
So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.
I need someone to talk to
Just need someone to walk through all of these fake smiles
And fickle trials that I've pasted to my wall
I need someone to cling to
Just want someone to scream to
When I swear I hear shadows against the sheet rock down the hall
So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.
You saved my life, you saved me twice
You set me free
But out on memory lane
The colors never change
They just bite, scratch and bleed
So lay me down, lay me down
Kiss me on the mouth
Give me one more chance to learn what love is all about
Stick around, stick around
Let your troubled heart pound
Out to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
And pretend that you need me
As much as I need you.
