Go to Hell

You did me so damn dirty rotten and now I'm all broken apart
Don't you know that it's a sin to be breakin' and stealin' hearts
You said I ain't got a shot in this world well baby what about the next
The way you put me down it was downright devilish
So go to Hell my darlin'
Down here I might have a chance
Maybe the devil will cut me a deal for some
Goddamned romance
We could get together
Deep under the ground
Go to hell my darlin' so I can see you around
Eternal burning inferno can't compare to the pain I'm in
I'll never make it passed the pearly gates I hear the dress code's pretty strict
I'm down on bended knee by a lake of fire with a brimstone wedding ring
You said I had a snowballs chance and I'm uglier than sin
So go to Hell my darlin'
Down here I might have a chance
Maybe the devil will cut me a deal for some
Goddamned romance
We could get together
Deep under the ground
Go to hell my darlin' so I can see you around
They say that Hell is other people
Well baby I had you in mind
When you told me to head straight there
I'd hoped you weren't far behind
I have been a bad man
I know I'm bound for a fire pit
But we could be a match made in H-E-Double Hockey sticks

No Place to Go
03:06

There's a plague that is raging in a place I once called home
The cold is biting like a frightened dog and I got no place to go
There's a certain silence that settles under the snow
My hands are shakin' for a number of reasons and I got no place to go
So drug me or drag me or knock me out
I need an excuse to lie on the ground
But I'd like a chance at one last dance
Before I get run out of this town
I'm reaching out for help again, this must be getting old
But I am too and it's no longer cute to have no place to go
In my Auto Biography these characters never grow
But it's hard to get your shit together when you've got no place to go
So Jesus Christ if the end is near
I sure hope it will arrive soon
I've been waiting around to die
In someone else's living room
I pick up pieces of poems, try to make them my home
I am longing for belonging and I've got no place to go
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the rolling stone
The meaninglessness of freedom is easy to see when you've got no place to go
I'm all on my own
Like a complete unknown
With no direction home
No place to go

Flirtin' with the Stars
02:58

Well, I've done wrong
I've been so lonesome
Got nobody left to love
No sweetheart to write to
No home to return to
So I flirt with the stars up above
Searching for meaning in everything
I don't see anything
But the moon swoons me once again
These stars they all burnt out a long time ago
We've got that in common my friend
I must apologize that I don't see you much
I've been living in that over lit city
But here on the mountain side
I've been trying to look deep inside
I can't help but notice you're lookin' awful pretty
Searching for meaning in everything
I don't seen anything
But the mysterious unknown shining bright
These stars they are all so far away
We've got that in common tonight
Ever since I was a child I'd sit in wonder
My head back, slack jawed in awe
Shoot across the sky and grant me a wish
If that ain't love I don't know what is
Sometimes I worry about my earthly journey
What have I done, what will I do
What stories will they tell
While I'm burning in hell
Went looking for love and I found you
Searching for meaning in everything
I can do anything
Now that I am lost in space
These stars go on forever and they never ask why
We've got that in common thank grace

Bumper Sticker
05:49
|

I get my drinking water from the food co-op
because the tap here ain't too great
all the cars parked in the lot have tailgates with an awful lot to say
opinions and support ribbons and their virtues on display
attempts to explain the state of the world today
But, it don't fit on a bumper sticker
