They played something
They made something
Brand new a baby blue machine
Brass tacks, duct tape
For the great escape
Packed in there like sardines
Back and forth
East, south, west, north

Shortly after Evelyn
Was doused with gasoline
And just a few miles off the avenue,
A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke.
For thirty years Walter worked right there,
Five days out of every week,
That's where he watched his hometown fade
The last came fast and furious.

Allow them, they just crawled out of the woodwork
The cockroach in the expensive suit and tie
Failure has far too many fathers
Succeed and you're an orphan 'til you die

Now then no one is saying they deserve it
What's more they've gotten more than they deserve

Gonna dive into a dive I've dove into before.
Gonna aunt a haunt I've haunted like a million times or more.
A familiar joint where getting drunk's the only point.
To frequent this place with any frequency at all.
Countin' on a remedy I've counted on before.
Goin' with a cure that's never failed me.
What you call the disease, I call the remedy.
What you're callin' the cause, I call the cure.

Bad news if he could choose
Would he refuse to be the bearer
Seems what he has to do
Could not be any clearer
It's a job he can't neglect
Its consequences will affect
I'm glad that I'm not in his shoes
He's the bearer of bad news

To put up with the output
I don't think about it,
hold on and hold out
or I'd be left out without it
Things better get better
I gotta get
thing's should get good
but they haven't yet

From kiss my ass, cover of kiss song
I feel uptight on a saturday night
Nine o' clock, the radio's the only light
I hear my song and it pulls me through

Comes on strong, tells me what i've got to do
I got to..
Get up

I can hear a whistle blowing
That's my only way of knowing
Somewhere in the distance
There is probably a train
I can hear a church bell ring
That church bell doesn't mean a thing
What I've been hearing lately
I would like you to explain

say your prayers little one don't forget my son,
to include everyone
tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin, til the sandman, he comes

sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight
exit light, enter night
take my hand, we're off to never never land

Everybody's better than I am I think
everybody's better than me
everybody's swell I guess
they're doing well some more or less
everybody's better than I am I think
you know, to be king you don't need a castle
to row, back to shore can sure be a hassle
(why you walk around with your head low down)

Just yesterday when I was faced
Get up and on or be misplaced
Tomorrow or until my end
Come make or break, I tend to bend

Hey, hey, last night I think when I was forced
To reevaluate everything that I've endorsed
Then separate what's left from right

Never lose my wallet, it would put me in a spot.
Never lose my sense, at least how much I've got.
Never lose my family, never lose my friends.
Never lose my youth, I hope it never ends.
Hope I never lose my wallet.

And hell I hope to hell and only time will tell
I hope I never lose my mind.

Up around 95, sailing down Storrow Drive
Left exit into Kenmore Square
Slowed down when I got there
And that's when it was crystal clear
It wasn't there, it wasn't where
I left it, when I left it
I want my city back
Back the way it used to be

I wrote it with a golf pencil I pulled out of my blazer
A crest sewn on the chest read "Old Gold Rugby Football Club"
Worn at one time by a man, that at one time went to Yale
Then he worked a while on Wall Street, until the market collapsed

I was in a barroom that was somewhere on the southern shore of Boston
The tender of the bar poured me a whiskey on the house
I had a love for whiskey, I chased it with a beer

Let me rant and let me ramble
You're lookin' at lunatic in shambles
I've got real issues I must wrestle
I'm unfit to steer the vessel
Somebody please take the wheel
I can't cope now, no I can't deal
To do so would be too great a gamble
Let me rant and let me ramble

[Chorus]:
Nah Nah Nah - Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah

Nah Nah Nah - Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah

I'd rather you didn't then did, I'd rather you didn't get rid

He didn't hit me for a home or hit me up 'cause he was cold.
He was addicted to drugs and I could see that in his eyes.
What about me?
Well I was only rolled, he didn't rob me for food.
It wasn't hunger but a jonze.
He needed a fix, someone will fix my broken bones.
And I'll feel better in the morning, the pain will fade as time goes by.
What was taken, I won't miss or I'll replace.

What took her to the city Was some sort of scholarship
Some fancy New York fashion institute
Her junkie boyfriend took to crime
Which took up too much of her time
It only took a year until she took a different route

What just happened?
She just happened

I'll let you in on how I'm feeling
You've got alot of nerve
You'll get what you deserve
Granted this feeling's unappealing
I'm bitter I'll admit
Now I've gotta deal with it

Just one more thing, ok

There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't rememeber
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not,
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot

There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't rememeber
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not,
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot

They'll talk about it after dinner over after dinner drinks
Then tie it to the car's antenna and pray the sinking feeling shrinks
And if they make it to see monkey time it's difficult without a spine
Like the yellow bellied jelly fish, they'll try to sneak back into line
Erase it from all recall, clear it like the dinner plates
It was autumn was it ever fall, could you tell me what this illustrates
And you know me
They're gonna raise it or they'll post it while they're lowering the boom

How could I forget, the day that he didn't die
That day he knew what he was up to
He had this look in his eye
How could I
Forget
There's no way
I could forget him, or ever forget the day

Death Valley Vipers! (Hoo, Hah)
Death Valley Vipers! (Oh)
Death Valley Vipers! (Hoo, Hah)
Death Valley Vipers!

Drove out to the furnace, but we pulled off out at the pass.
Felt the valley start to burn us, we had half a tank of gas.
Without cellular phone service, when the battery just died.

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse

I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could

Without really knowing I took all the wrong routes
The misguided monster in the Doc Marten boots
In the wrong directions against all of the grains
Got off at all the wrong stops, back onto all the wrong trains
When holy hell just broke loose, to cut it out shut it down
There was the substance abuse running rampant through town
And when the trouble I had at the back door of the Channel
A steady headache and a handful it was

One day my skeletons appeared
And I knew where they were coming from
Hung by a rope I volunteered
And I never thought the day would come
Some boundaries I once overstepped
Shortcomings I must now accept
Secrets that could not be kept
I wish my skeletons had slept

Look at everyone
There are new one’s being listed close to telling
everyone take a look
look at the lives took so far

this guy had a son
a newborn that he never got to hold onto

How do you like it in New York?
How's every last and little thing?
Going forward getting more
than made your move and made a fortune
Remind me where you got the ring
They took you on than took you under
A nice new haircut and a number
Here comes another wasted summer

So here's what happened this time,
I'm sure that it's the last time
I'm over going over it, it's over once again.
What am I gonna do with me?
I blew the oppertunity
By sayin' something assanign
I've gotta watch this mouth of mine.
I sure said the wrong thing right then
