Lyrics

1.Trouble Weighs A Ton

What's wrong, dear brother? Have you lost your faith?
Don't you remember a better place?
Needles and things, done you in
Like the setting sun
Oh, dear brother, trouble weighs a ton
What's wrong, dear sister? Did your world fall down?
Men misuse you and push you around
Same story dear, year after year
Pathetic men will run
Oh, dear sister, trouble weighs a ton
Trouble in the air
Trouble all I see
Does anybody care
Trouble killin' me
Whoa, it's killin' me
What's wrong, dear mother? Has your child disobeyed?
Left you hurtin' in so many ways
What once was sweet, the sorrow and greet
Cannot be undone
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton

2.I Want Some More

You got the tenderness that I been searchin' for
Oh, I want some more
You got sweet lips like I did never taste before
Oh, I want some more
Everythin' you've got
Is just what I've always wanted
Right down to a T
Nothin' about you that don't please me
I'm just a kid and you're a walkin' candy store
Oh, I want some more
You got the tenderness that I been searchin' for
Oh, I want some more, yeah
You got sweet lips like I did never taste before
Oh, I want some more
Everythin' you've got
Is just what I've always wanted
Right down to a T
Nothin' about you that don't please me
I'm just a kid and you're a walkin' candy store
Oh, I want some more, yeah, yeah

3.Heartbroken, In Disrepair

There is no light, there is no charm
All my belongings, I hold in one arm
Under the bridge, asleep in the shade
All of the terrible choices that I made
Searching for light, gasping for air
Heartbroken, in disrepair
God may forgive me, but thats not enough
Cause I gotta live with myself, 'till Im dust
Just walk on by, if we pass on the street
Sometimes in battle, its best to retreat
Searching for light, gasping for air
Heartbroken, in disrepair

5.Whispered Words

I hear words, pretty lies
like the ones they tell you 'fore you die
Whispered words, soft and low
push me anywhere she wants to go
I hear words in my head
Each and everything she ever said
Every sign, every line
tricked me into falling one more time
If you need me you're here
If you don't, you're no where near
I should have quit a long time ago
I hear words,in my sleep
Promises you made but never keep
Even in my dreams
I try to fight but i don't ever win
If you need you're here
If you don't you;re nowhere near
I should have quite a long time before

6.Real Desire

I know that you're wanted
but every little thing talks
take your pick and maybe they'll serve you, yeah
but you, you will put them down
talk, but never listen
so how you wanna play your game
try to step on me baby
oh, and I will, I will do the same
because you want to set the world on fire
little men, we'll never do
made you think i'd be a desire, oh darling
oh I, I see right through
Clouded skies have lifted
and voices ring out from the wire
if you'll say you never meant to hurt me, no
oh you would be a liar
Because you want to set the world on fire
and a little man will never do
made you think I'd be a desire, oh darling
you know I see right through

7. When the Night Comes

When the night comes
And you lay your weary head to rest
No more trials, no tests
When the night comes
When the night comes
You dont have to be afraid
Of any choice you made
When the night comes
Dont be afraid
Youre only dreaming(repeat)
When the night comes
The headlines read
Whatevers in your dreams
When the night comes
When the night comes
And you lay by the one you love
The one who knows you and the things you do
When the night comes
Dont be afraid
Youre only dreaming(repeat)
When the night comes(repeat)

8.Mean Monsoon

The summer sun has got me crazy
Playing tricks with my poor mind
You said you had another man
And I said I guess I didnt mind
Whats he got that I aint got
Besides stability
Can he drive all night and never stop
Well I guess youll have to wait and see
I heard a voice, call to me
Saying some day youre gonna be free
Put a dollar in the jukebox
But dont you play our favorite tune
Cause seeing you dance to that
Is only gonna bring me to ruin
Someday sunny sounds will soothe me
But it wont happen soon
Cause the cloud you left hanging over
Is raining like a mean monsoon
I heard a voice, call to me
Saying some day youre gonna be free

9.The Prowl

I see you walkin after dark
Trading looks with other men
But Im the only one you need
And I know just where youve been
Oh cant you see the tears I cried
And soak them up like a towel
For now Ill be one step behind
Oh girl you got me on the prowl
I crawl around most every night
And Im all wrapped up in your spell
I wish someone could understand
But you know I could never tell
Ill just live on in the dark
If theres no harm, theres no foul
Well my love for you is strange
Oh girl you got me on the prowl

10.Keep It Hid

Lock the door and close the blinds
Theyre coming for me girl and I aint got time
If they ask you, darlin, oh about what I did
Baby you gotta keep it hid
Im heading south, and I cant say where
But Ill phone you baby soon as I get there
Theyre not gonna seal my coffin lid
Cause youre gonna keep it hid
Well Big Sue knew but she dont no more
If you know what I mean
Theyll never find what theyre looking for
Cause youre my tight-lipped queen
Ill buy you a dress, a nice handmade piece
And send your Mom on a vacation to Greece
If youre an auction, oh Im the highest bid
Oh baby, cause youre gonna keep it hid

11.My Last Mistake

Tell me now, tell me true
Of all the things I did to you was this the one
That made you break
Did I make my last mistake
Only you can play the game
Rope-a-dope and lay the blame
Cant you see, my body shake
Cause I made my last mistake
I was out of line before
But this is so much more I know
I dont wanna be the king
Of every single living thing, just you
And you can be my queen, mama
Separate towns, separate hearts
Distant love from distant parts
Every man plays the snake
Bound to make his last mistake

12.When I Left the Room

She used to make me feel
Like I could do no wrong
I sang a happy tune
Her name was in my song
But now her eyes foretell
nly impending doom
And I just wanna know
What she said when I left the room
We had a plan
That if we sacked away
Wed go and buy that place
Down in Santa Fe
Then some kids
Oh, they would follow soon
But I just gotta know
What she said when I left the room
Paranoia, heart destroyer
I feel like I could die
My mind is gone, cause you moved on
Still I dont know why
Voices in my head
Ring like a sonic boom
Oh I gotta know
What she said when I left the room
She left a year ago
With my record collection
Now all I have
Is my own reflection
I reckon, if she moved
Away to the moon
Id still wanna know
What she said when I left the room

13.Street Walkin'

You know that time I said I had a job
and the bartender looked over at you and he gave a nod
the rain was hard and the ghosts were talkin'
my mind was gone I was,
streetwalkin'
Kids with looks have a better chance
of making it to that special dance
you're up to bat and the infield is stalkin'
my mind is gone I am,
streetwalkin'
Beggin bums soda pop
Yankee tickets, bottle tops
mini skirts,magazines
out on the street it's a living dream
I came correct on my secret lives
I spoke the truth darlin' I looked into your eyes
you got uptight and onlookers started gawkin'
the moon is high I am,
streetwalkin'

14.Goin' Home

Ive spent too long away from home
Did all the things I could have done
Gone are the days of endless thrills
I know Im not the only one
So long, Im goin, goin home
I saw the streets all ripe with jewels
Balconies and the laundry lines
They tried to make me welcome there
But their streets did not feel like mine
So long, Im goin, goin home
I want the sun to hit my face
Through oak trees in the open lot
Forget about the things you want
Be thankful for what all you got
So long, Im goin, goin home
