I can,
I could say I'm sorry
but I don't think it would do me no good
I could blame it on society
or my bad childhood
I could deny
every little thing
every thing you thought was right
I could be your darkness
or
I could be your light
just tell me
How do you expect me
to care about you,
when I don't event wish you well?
How do you expect me to give a damn
when I don't even care about myself
Trust don't come cheap
It's something you gotta earn
I'm tired of putting myself
in situations where
I'm the only who gets burned
I'm tired of all the lies and deceit
so go on and take your wins
I'm gonna take me defeat
but before you go
just leave the bottle with me
and tell me
How do you expect me to care about you,
when I don't even wish you well?
How do you expect me to give a damn,
when I don't care about myself?
You don't think I know that you talk about me?
Thinking that I popped my top?
flipped my lid ?
went insane?
and I've gone a little bit crazy?
Well, come on.
Get close.
Come on and show me what you got, but
you better make it good, cus you only got
yourself one good shot.
So go on
Take my hand
I'll make your whispers come to life.
I'll to take you to that place,
where no one hears me crying
How do you expect me to care about you,
when I don't even wish you well?
How you expect me to give a damn
when I don't even care about myself?

Boo chicka wha??
Can I get two front tickets
to the end of the world
I've been thinking that
I'd really like to take this girl,
she overheard that the show
is gonna be great.
Now, she says aliens,
and martians,
or maybe just a meteor,
or nuclear weapons.
couldn't be no easier
and all they'd have to do
is hit that button that's red,
and 1, 2, 3
we'll all be dead
Now why didn't you
Didn't you get the brochure
didn't you know it was on it's way?
Now why weren't you prepared
to kiss your ass good bye today.?
So give your wife a hug
and give your kids a kiss.
Who you gonna miss most Mr,
maybe your mistress?
Ain't it just a bitch
we're going out like this

Aww Betsy,
you were so happy
when we were drunk
smelling like skunks
skipping down the street
shoes were falling off your feet
you were holding my hand
and I never wanted
to let you go
Aww Betsy
you told me your secret last night
said it was hard for you to hide
then you started to cry
and you told me you loved me.
you pushed me up against the glass
of the Nicholby's thrift shop
which use to be an antique store
and before that,
again,
it was another thrift shop
and you smiled a smile that you dont
hand out too often
and you kissed me
up against that glass
and it must of lasted
until four in the morning
you said your good nights
sobered up
and forgot everything
by morning.
Aww Betsy,
you were so happy
when we were drunk
smelling like skunks
skipping down the street
shoes were falling off your feet
you were holding my hand
and I never wanted
to let you go

Sunday morning
and my heads so low
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on
Sunday morning and I
can't remember when
a Sunday ever moved so slow
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving
with that devil downstairs
with his evil smile
looking up at me
telling me to stay a while
and I'm tripping
and I'm slipping
but you gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on
Now that devil downstairs
gots a hold on the soles of my feet
come on people
come and watch me dance
to one more damn beat
all I want to do is keep on living
giving and delivering
some fine ass songs to you
as for me,
I'm just a little puppet
I got a hand up my ass
and I'm thinking nothing of it
but you know someday
gonna go far
me myself and I
playing my guitar
and singing
Sunday morning
and my heads so low
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on
Sunday morning and I
can't remember when
a Sunday ever moved so slow
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving
with that devil downstairs
with his evil smile
looking up at me
telling me to stay a while
and I'm tripping
and I'm slipping
but you gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on
I've been losing my mind
to drugs and their kind
but I like them too much
to go back
Honey I've been smoking
the pot
and I've been drinking alot
Now I feel like I'm under attack
I'm weak in my knees
ah baby please
wont you get me away from that stuff
you know it's easy to think
that in one little blink
I ain't right back
taking a puff
and I'm smoking on
Sunday morning
and my heads so low
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on
Sunday morning and I
can't remember when
a Sunday ever moved so slow
gotta keep moving baby
gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving
with that devil downstairs
with his evil smile
looking up at me
telling me to stay a while
and I'm tripping
and I'm slipping
but you gotta keep on
gotta keep on moving on

Yeah,
Well,
You'll see
It's true
I'm a lot
a lot like you
but with a whole lot of me
still inside
you wanna go for a ride
you wanna go for a drive
you wanna get the hell out of here
and disappear
for a while
you want to hide and seek
at the same time
go looking for something
that your not sure
if there's anything out there
for you to find
you want a new name
a clean slate
a fresh plate
and brand new friends
and
you wanna go for a ride
you wanna go for a drive
you wanna get the hell out of here
and disappear
for a while
