Fell In Love With A Girl
01:22

fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
she's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
she turns and says 'are you alright?'
I said 'I must be fine, cause my heart's still beating'
she says 'come and kiss me by the riverside'
'bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating now'
red hair with a curl
mellow roll for the flavour and the eyes for peeping
can't keep away from the girl
these two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
can't think of anything to do
my left brain knows that
all love is fleeting
she's just looking for something new
and I said it once before but it bears repeating now

The Upper Peninsula
03:19
|

I live in America
with a pair of Payless shoes
the upper peninsula
and the television news
and I've seen my wife
at the K-Mart
in strange ideas
we live apart
I live in a trailer home
with a snow mobile, my car
the window is broken out
and the interstate is far
I drove all night
to find my child
in strange ideas
he's been revived
in strange ideas
in stranger times
I've no idea
what's right sometimes
I lost my mind
I lost my life
I lost my job
I lost my wife

well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
if you don't know by now
and it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
it'll never do, somehow
when your rooster crows at the break of dawn
look out your window and I'll be gone
you're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
but don't think twice, it's all right
and it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
that light I never knowed
and it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
but I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
to try and make me change my mind and stay
we never did too much talkin' anyway
but don't think twice, it's all right
so it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
like you never did before
and it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you anymore
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin', walkin' down the road,
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
but don't think twice, it's all right
So long, honey, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
Goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You coulda done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Wave of Mutilation
02:58
|
|||
cease to resist
giving my goodbye
drive my car
into the ocean
you think i'm dead
but i sail away
on a wave of mutilation
on a wave of mutilation
I've kissed mermaids
rode the El Nino
walked the sands
with the crustaceans
could find my way
to Mariana
on a wave of mutilation
on a wave of mutilation

when you were young and on your own
how did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking of games that I was playing
trying to make the best of my time
but only love can break your heart
try to be sure right from the start
yes only love can break your heart
what if your world were to fall apart?
I have a friend I've never seen
he hides his head inside a dream
someone should call him and see if he can come out
try to lose the down that he's found
