Right Now I Don’t
If we were smoking something much stronger maybe I’d wanna have you
but right now I don’t
right now I don’t
If you would listen
and stop all the talking
maybe I’d want you
to want me
but right now I don’t
right now I don’t
CH:
I’ve been waiting for someone
but someone never came
I combed every palace from New York to Dallas
but every kiss tasted the same
If I were happy
if I was stronger
maybe I’d want to be nicer
but right now I don’t
right now I don’t
BR:
If you can’t be the one
who’s loved
you can still love anyone you’re with.
CH:
I’ve been waiting for someone
but someone never came
I combed every palace from New York to Dallas
but every kiss tasted the same

Hover Yurt
CH:
I’ve lived in mansions
I’ve lived in vans
I’ve ate from banquets
I’ve bit some hands
But I’ve never felt the freedom
of never being hurt
until I found my home
inside a hover yurt
verse:
I glide across the city
without ever touching ground
A cosmic mobile hippy
A jet that won’t be downed
My floor’s a perfect circle
Defyin’ all you squares
Jesus didn’t live to see
himself get a head full of gray hairs
CH:
I’ve lived in mansions
I’ve lived in vans
I’ve ate from banquets
I’ve bit some hands
BR:
I stay cool
in 360 degrees.
A floating muffin top
giving off a constant breeze
CH:
I’ve lived in mansions
I’ve lived in vans
I’ve ate from banquets
I’ve bit some hands
But I’ve never felt the freedom
of never being hurt
until I found my home
inside a hover yurt
Wshhh....Wshhhh....Wshhhh

Here Lies My Man

Here Lies My Man
I believed you when you told me that you love me
Like I believed in the Lord
I believed you when you told me you were working late,
But that perfume smell in your Ford...
Pre:
Guess you lied about your lyin’
You lie without trying
You lie like how some folks breathe air
CH:
So here lies my man
He had it coming for some time.
All you ladies get in line
Here lies our man
He went the way we all want to go
But he lost control of the truck.
Died with a smile, only drove a mile
The truth is...he ran out of luck
BR:
How much is it worth?
and will we ever learn
That we’ll never find a good man
If we only love him as much as he can earn
PRE:
That’s what you get for lyin’
That’s what we get for buyin’
Love shuts our eyes so we can have an open heart
CH:
So here lies my man
He had it coming for some time.
All you ladies get in line
Here lies our man
So here lies my man
Say your last goodbye
‘til the next one tells a lie
Here lies my man

You Scare Me

You Scare Me
You scare me
but i like fear
sometimes its the only thing reminding me I'm here.
I'm hiding from the things
that i don't want to know
covering the scars that i don't want to show.
You hate me
as much as I hate you
like looking in a mirror and seeing right through
You like finding all my wounds and pouring in the salt
it lifts all your burdens... always someone else's fault.
BR:
Why, why, why! do I hurt me this way?
You love me
well i’ve heard that before
I left my heart open
now I’m closing the door
I’m locking all the windows and setting myself free
a prisoner to my fear is the safest place to be

Afterglow
Carry me home to a Tennessee hillside
leaving the lost and all that they owed
sleep in your shadow
made by the moonlight
sing us some Willie
so much to unload
CH:
Don’t bring bad memories
yesterday won’t change
Tomorrow's nothing more than a better today
We need to laugh like a willow needs weeping
We need to hold and never let go
All of those years while you were steeping
Something inside you was starting to grow
CH:
Don’t bring bad memories
yesterday won’t change
Tomorrow's nothing more than a better today
