Time’s got a funny way about it
It doesn’t last that long
It don’t come back no matter how hard you try
Time’s got a funny way of changing things
In the winter the birds don’t sing
We’d spend our days, sittin, hangin around
Ooh time
Maybe we’ll meet out on the road someday
If you see me please don’t turn the other way
Just remember that I was your friend
Before time went and put that to an end
Forever, always, or a year and a day
It’s all time babe, it won’t last anyway
So whisper words soft and low
I’m a little down but I got a long way to go
Time’s got a funny way about it
It doesn’t last that long

Big Balls Keep Spinning

Man I talk so loud
But I ain’t sayin nothing
But she was looking so good
Well I had to say something
Next thing I know
I’m squared up toe to toe
Eye to eye he’s twice my size
And there’s two other guys
Reared up and ready to go
Pavement hits hard
But I ain’t feelin nothing
It was a long way down
But the ground shot up and
I’m still seeing stars
There goes my vision
But my mouth keeps running
And big balls keep spinning
Yeah it feels so good
When you don’t feel nothing
I look to my left
Got another thing coming
Big Ray seen me jump
And I’m taking off running
But before I leave
I’m taking one last swing
Will my head still be this thick
When my hair’s all thin
I leaped before I looked
Now look at this place I’m in
Yeah I’m never growing up
Man I’m never gonna win
But my mouth keeps running
And big balls keep spinning

Pocket Twos

My luck’s gonna catch me now
Been playing two hands how
Long til I find I’m schlacked
Getting knocked right on my back
Some guys are born winners
Others gotta always lose
Some guys are born winners
Others gotta always lose
I was Johnny Attitude
Thinking I was king
Still Johnny Attitude
Now I’m just King Dingaling
It ain’t all right
But I’m alright
I took a right turn
Down the wrong avenue
I guess I’ll just have to fold
My pair of pocket twos
Some guys always lose
Find a lipstick stain
And it winds up being a bruise
Find a lipstick stain
And it winds up being a bruise

Singing to the Wall

I've been praying with my hands on my head
Been seeing myself blind
I’ve been singing to this wall instead
Tryna breathe between these lines
I hold my strings just like the jazz at night
These words won’t let me sleep
I tell my mother hey I’ll be alright
It’s not as sad as it seems
Cause even a blind man can have a vision
Even a deaf boy can say dad I’m gonna listen to ya
I’ve been staring at this wall all day
Just waiting around tryin’ to find the words to say
Laid down lonely in this hollow place
Where I can only count on time
I'm bleeding words just to fill this space
Tryna sell myself some rhyme
Apartment windows and bedroom walls
Coffee tables and bathroom stalls
All the old haunts where I used to hide
Nothing changes but the name outside
Cause even a blind man can have a vision
Even a deaf boy can say dad I’m gonna listen to ya
I’ve been staring at this wall all day
Just waiting around tryin’ to find the words to say
I’ve been praying with my hands on my head
Been seeing myself blind
I’ve been singing to this wall instead
Tryna breathe between these lines
Cause even a blind man can have a vision
Even a deaf boy can say dad I’m gonna listen to ya
I’ve been staring at this wall all day
Just waiting around tryin’ to find the words to say

This Is My Every Day

Hey, can anybody hear me
I'm standing right here
With thoughts of my own
Everybody's looking
But nobody's listening
Nobody lives here, nobody's home
But me
I can feel the sun shine
I can feel the moon rise
Over and over
Day after day
I can feel the cool breeze
People passing by me
Maybe I wanna go too, just like you
Wanna come unglued
But, hey, this is my every day
Hey, this is my every day
You, you never looked right through me
You looked right at me
As if you knew me
Hey, maybe you liked me
Or it could have been someone
Standing behind me
Hey, can anybody hear me
Maybe that's just me again
Having thoughts of my own
Hey, this is my every day
Hey, this is my every day
What I wouldn't give to walk away
What I would give to walk away
What I wouldn't give to walk away
