Jesus Was An Alien
Never survive at your no-go grocery store
And if you believe that boy will sit down and I will
Tell you more
Lee harvey oswald, well you know he had to have known
Charlie manson, only wanted to make his house a home
Chorus:
Jesus was an alien, flying through space
God was an astronaut, who said boy, I like your face
So the story begins...
Girl I love you, well the check is in the mail
Found religion inside myself, I drank the blood, the
Flesh was stale
Reach in your pockets and give us all you can
Know the one thats going to heaven, is gonna be the
Richer man
(chorus) x 2
I see ya shakin boy, do ya find it hard to believe
That the one you been living for would cut your wrists
To watch you bleed
Found out the truth is a lie, and it makes you feel

The Bum
I thought about
Leaving but I couldnt even get outta bed
Im hangin cause I couldnt get a ride outta town
Now anyone who really wanted me to be down
Come round
Thought about
Singin but I couldnt remember all of the words
Breakin but I couldnt get the pieces apart
Laughin never knowing what the joke was about
Now Im down
And I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn
How lonely people make a life
One strain at a time
Forgot about
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin up the pieces that are falling behind takes time
So I wonder how I never got the burn
And if Im ever gonna learn

Real World
I wonder what its like to be the rainmaker
I wonder what its like to know that I made the rain
Id store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
And you can come and see them when im...done, when Im done
I wonder what its like to be a super hero
I wonder where Id go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, theyre stunned
(chorus)
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wonder what its like to be the head honcho
I wonder what Id do if they all did just what I said
Id shout out an order, I think were out of this man get me some
Boy dont make me wanna change my...tone, my tone
(chorus)
Please dont change, please dont break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you

Here Comes Horses
Help me to remember girl if you dont mind
Cause it feels just like a jester when the music died
Havent seen you lately, but I know that nothings changed
Feeling kinda shaky, but the wounds have healed,
Theres a crack there in the doorway where the walls have peeled
Well the last you see the sun go down on a clear day
Chorus:
Here comes horses
Yeah there goes the rain
Here goes nothing
Here it comes again
I was thinking I was angry, but I let it go
I was waiting on a miracle, but nothing showed
And they say I knew messiah was at the local bar
Greetings from the homefront, have you heard the news
That daddy bet his paycheck on a horses shoe
Yeah we wont feel that way for a long long time
(chorus)
Yeah can you feel it
Sitting in a taxi at the evenins inn,

Shame
What we learned here is love tastes bitter when its gone
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when its on
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
And theres no one around you can remember being good to
You
(chorus1)
Shame, shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps been forgotten, will you tell me how
They go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
Theres no one around you can remember being good, for you
So
(chorus2)
Shame, shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you
And open up more
Shame, shame, shame
Shame, shouldnt try you, couldnt step by you

Dear Joan
Dear joan
Ive almost forgotten, the pane in the window
Blue dress in the doorway
Dear joan
Help me remember, the face I forget
And the traps that Ive sprung
I guess Ive grown tired, its just whats expected of me
To tear your heart from the inside to the outside
You know I was wired, I just couldnt help it
The hundred thousand times I hurt you
Chorus:
Dear joan, I wanted to say
That Im sorry for the screaming last night
And the nights before
Well Ive wanted more from this
Than anything Ive ever known
Dear joan
Dear joan
Your face has a brightness that Ive never seen
In the years that Ive known you

Paint Me Blue
Oh yeah....oh yeah
Not a never from me well...it beats watching you
My baby saw some happy people yesterday, that I never knew
Never too much violence every time we had a war
You belong shirt and now the skins and
Well were flying through the door
These are violent times and I only want to do my part
Sing til hatred steps and smile at what weve only thought, cause
Chorus:
I need understanding
Just a pack or two
Help me with my troubles
And what to deuce
And I dont feel no aging
There aint nothin new
Yeah well drive me in the ocean and paint me blue
Dont have a worry, I dont have a care
I dont have a sound piece of mind, but I managed to dare
I dont like my neighbors, well there just not my kind
I think it might be home for the wells? and I really dont mind

Push
She said I dont know if Ive ever been good enough
Im a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I dont know if Ive ever been really loved
By a hand thats touched me, well I feel like somethings gonna give
And Im a little bit angry, well
This aint over, no not here, not while I still need you around
You dont owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good
(chorus)
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will
She said I dont know why you ever would lie to me
Like Im a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I dont know why you couldnt just stay with me
You couldnt stand to be near me
When my face dont seem to want to shine
Cuz its a little bit dirty, well
Dont just stand there, say nice things to me

Unkind
Read on baby, what youre gettin in to
Its livin on pain, the thing thats getting to you
Write my name, painted up my picture
Say its the only thanks Im not around (around)
Beaten and battered
Well if my dreams get shattered, then
Pain gives my the right to be unkind
Wait on baby which with some indevotion
I trade a river of tears for just a little emotion
You can curse my name, painted up my picture
Say its the last time that Ill be around (be around)
Oh well Im torn and tattered,
Saw the thoughts in my head be scattered, well
Pain gives my the right to be unkind yeah
And it sets me
Chorus:
Right back to the heart of it
Joans crazy is a sly defense from it
Joans crazy is a place I call my own, when Im alone
Read on baby, what youre gettin in to

Hang
She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all
Her notes and she knows, shes been here too few years
To feel this old
He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside til its gone
If anybody ever had a heart, he wouldnt be alone
He knows, shes been here too few years to be gone
And we always say, it would be good to go away someday
But if theres nothing there to make things change
If its the same for you Ill just hang
The trouble understand, is she got reasons he dont
Funny how I couldnt see it at all
til she grabbed up her coat
And she goes, shes been here too few years to take it all in stride
But still its much too long, to let hurt go(you let her go)
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
But if theres nothing there to make things change
If its the same for you Ill just hang
The same for you
