strange
strange town USA
town I always loved
have always been
strained
your part time lover friend
the means demeans the ends
it always is
strange
strange
strange
strange
strange town USAme
town I always loved
have always been
strange
strange
strange
these fears go deep in
get the fuck out the way
might be this evenin
get the fuck out the way
when here
in your ivory tower
I'm thinking on the month of may
and here
is the idle power
believe in what you cannot see
sometimes you get hurt—
BURN.
sometimes we take turns—
BURN.
thinkin who will survive—?
who will die?
and who will win?
I bet you think this song is about me
I bet you think this song is about the
misguided anecdotes
say it slow
yeah we made this bed to sleep in
would it make much of a diff—?
would you make much more if I did—?
just one hour of love?
in your tower of bliss?
I'm deranged
it's too too late
cuz I'm deranged
I'm deranged
it's too too late
strange
strange town USA
town I always loved
and will again
STRANGE.

Butter & Guns

when the butter bakes the guns
better steal yourself & run
don't make yourself a nun
for me
keep your castles made of sand
but don't cry long for your man
he's just out there on the land
like me
butter & guns
mortar rains on everyone
butter & guns
more to rain on everyone
more to sing than has been sung
more to die when you were young
and we're gonna prosper that way
when the butter bakes the guns
better steal yourself alone
don't wait on anyone
or me
keep your castles made of sand
but don't cry long for your land
it's just out there in the hands
unseen
butter & guns
mortar rains on everyone
butter & guns
more to rain on everyone
more to sing than has been sung
more to die when you were young
and we're gonna prosper that way

I learn my lesson when I'm twenty
don't kill yourself because of money
don't cheat yourself out of tonite
I'll learn my lesson when I'm thirty
I'm 27 and it's early
so one more night
all my love
cuz I never give enough
come to me
i will follow
never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna give you up
heard your daddy was a baron
heard your mama ran the harem
i followed all y'all downtown
i only came in what I came for
this loneliness enough is paid for
so one more night
all my love
cuz I never give enough
come to me
i will follow
never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna give you up
last call
you were blacked out dancin
I was just a peon in the night
you crawled up
backed your ass in
I never have to see another light
never have to see another light
so one more night
all my love
cuz I never give enough
come to me
i will follow
let rain fall down on us
one more time
from the top
you're the one I wanna love
come to me
i will follow
never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna give you up

I Am Me

I am afraid
you've made an offer
if you were me
I'd cut and run
but you're not me
I am me
let's have some fun
and I...
I am not used to it
but I'm young
I've got a long time
to regret all I've done
and I...
I am not you
I am me
we've come a long way baby
I am not free
I took my chances
if I could take 'em back
I wouldn't laugh as much
I'd miss our romances
our lonely slow dances
so under no circumstances
could I give you up
and still believe
that I...
I am not you
I am me
we've come a long way baby
our road
our run
I am me
but if I were you
I'd take a lonlier way home

oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
I wish that man was me
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
what happened to the southern drawl?
you picked up from you ma and pa?
and now you're coming for me
with your bare feet all washed clean
I asked you where your mother was
'said killed my daddy just because
I'm ready for your simple needs
we're walking barefoot down the street
now I've found
what this sweet life is sposed to be
we put our feet across the threshold
and we walked hand in hand
won't you come away to the promised land?
I went on down to the cellar
to shoot my poor ole dog yeller
but baby couldn't do the job
I lost my dog in vietnam
what happened to the good ole days?
when you knew who was & wasn't saved
I'm talkin out my broken jaw
but whatever cuz I loved you more
than all these notes could ever hope
to bend and bleet
now I've found
what this sweet life was sposed to...
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
one day you'll understand
it wasn't me
it's worse
I loved you more than
you were ever worth
and all the history books
one day they will say
I wanted to love you
you were in my way
I wanted to love you
you were in my way
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
goddamn!
I love the way I am
one day you'll understand
it wasn't me
it's worse
I loved you more than
you were ever worth
one day you'll understand
it didn't matter...
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
I wish that man was me
oh abilene
what did it mean?
you're in love with somebody else
'body else
'body else...
