I gotta good woman, I gotta bad habit.
I gotta good woman, I gotta bad habit.
I got a deep longing in my soul. I dug a deep deep twisted hole
and I'm trying to climb out again.
I gotta good woman,
With some habits of her own.
We be lying in our bed at night.
But we're not alone.
And all I wanna know
Is how this stranger got into our home?
So I'm saving up that 10 bucks for
that long bus ride, 80 to the bay.
Cause San Francisco seems so far away.
And all these weekly lies abroad they bend and they sway
I got a few friends there who know me by my name.
I gotta good woman, I gotta bad habit.
I gotta good connect, no you can't have it.
I got that dark brown sugar blues, and when it registers it turns a reddish hue,
and I wanna put it in, to me and put it into you
I gotta good woman. She's the devil in the flesh.
I gotta good woman, she's the worst and then the best.
(Best I know!)
I gotta deep longing in my soul, I suffer loss of control
when she's standing right beside me.
So I'm saving up that 10 bucks for
that long bus ride, 80 to the bay.
And fucking San Francisco seems so far away
And all these weekly lies abroad they bend and then they sway
I got a few friends there who know me by my name.
So I'm saving up that 10 bucks for

Wait, how long would you wait?
Wait, how long would you wait?
Wait, how long would you wait?
As we come to a fork in the middle of the road
It divides us so tell me what therefore?
And the girl in the mirror falls to the floor
She crawls for me but she can not reach the door.
An answer can be found
Just put your head near to the ground.
Try and get out of this town
Well you can be lost though you want to be found.
Oh, an answer can be found
Just put your head!

There's a right one
A wrong one
And the girl who understands.
She lets you know
Where you've been
but you want her in your hands.
So want for love, want for lust
Feed which end you want to survive.
There's a want for love, a want for lust
Inside everyone of us.
There's a right one
A wrong one
And the girl who understands.
Once a day melts away in the palm of your hands.
She comes quick, leaves quick, she never sticks around.
Waking up in her bed, everybody needs a friend sometimes.
There's a time for love, a time for lust, the space between don't mean much.
There's a time for love, a time for lust, the space between don't mean much.
There's a time for love, a time for lust, the space between don't mean much.
There's a time for love, a time for lust, the space between don't mean much.

And the same thing happens every time
You take yours, I take mine.
Different situations not the same
Inside of one another's brain.
Sometimes it just gets so hard
Sometimes I just straight want to fall apart.
And she said
I ain't never gonna change for no one cause
I don't wait to see the setting sun and
If the forest eats me alive tonight then I will survive, survive.
And the same thing happens every night
Think a little bit more, little bit more about what's right is right
Until you realize that nothing is the same without a
Situation in the game.
Cause sometimes it just gets so hard
Sometimes I just straight want to fall apart.
I ain't never gonna change for no one cause
I don't wait to see the setting sun and
If the forest eats me alive tonight then I will survive, survive.
And she said
I ain't never been in love with no one cause
for that to happen you have to love someone and
If you choose to stay by my side then I will abide, abide!
And she said
Sometimes it just gets so hard
Sometimes I just straight want to fall apart
I ain't never gonna change for no one cause
I don't wait to see the setting sun and
If you choose to stay by my side then I will abide, abide!

Once I had a bed
where I came to rest my head
where I came to rest my broken bones
Once I had a dame
but she up and ran away
now I know exactly what I want to say but it's too late.
Cause it pulls like heartstrings,
like guitar strings.
Can be fixed time again.
Just like a roaring thunder
that pulls us under
into the night again.
Once I had a friend
that I knew at just one pass
looking through the glass and on it.
Once I had a dream
but it's broken and diseased
sew me at the seams, I'm breaking.
Cause it pulls like heartstrings,
like guitar strings.
Can be fixed time again.
Just like a roaring thunder
that pulls us under
into the night again.
Nice to know you,
maybe I'll see you around.
Maybe that's not true
but don't get down.
But if you get down then baby get down,
get down.
Nice to know you,
maybe I'll see you around.
Maybe that's not true
but don't get down.
But if you get down then baby get down,
get down.

I am just a man
Skin and flesh and problems
that never get absolved.
The wrongs they go unsolved.
And if there was a way
to take me from this mortal place
I’d do it in a flash
When you’re gone you don’t look back.
And if I was a skeleton,
I’d have no need for tears.
I’d waste away the years
in a coffin. Yeah!
The same thing goes for fears
All they are tools grinding up my gears!
Twisting up my insides!
And if I was a skeleton,
I’d have no need for frowns.
Everybody knows when I get down,
I get down!
The same thing goes for love.
When I’m out, I can’t seem to find that stuff
Twisting up my insides!
And I know that these ugly pleasures control me
The poison of that flesh that owns me
And I truly tell a lie
when I say I’d leave it all behind
It hurts too much to die
And if I was a skeleton,
my eyes would have no use.
I couldn’t see what I can’t have
and what I stand to lose
And if I was a skeleton,
my heart would decompose.
And cycle back into the dirt
that stains your brand new clothes.
And I’d be a part of you
The only thing I’ve ever wanted
To do is you.
And I know that these ugly pleasures control me
The poison in that vile that destroys me!
And I’d truly lie if I said I’d leave it all behind
It hurts too much to die.
It hurts too much to die.
It hurts too much to die.
It hurts too much to die.
It hurts too much to die.
And if I was a skeleton
where my soul divides
The universe divides above us
And you’d say a little prayer
to the stars way up there
I hope your wish comes true.

There was a place that existed in cyberspace
that no one ever knew.
The lights go out
they go to bed
and nothing's left but a dream for two.
And the sleepless lovers be
cause they know their time is brief.
And life is bittersweet
you never feel complete.
There was a joy that existed inside of you
that no one ever knew.
Others when they smashed it
held it close and made it new.
And the sleepless lovers feel
they know their time's not real.
And the sleepless lover be
because they know their time is brief.
And life is bittersweet
you never feel complete.
So mark these words wherever they may go,
the secret behind this living that no one knows.
Maybe someday we'll find how much this toll booth tolls.
I doubt we'll walk away with heart and soul,
soon we'll be forgotten grains of sand.
Hopefully one day that sand will turn to glass
so we may hang in churches with color and class.
There was a place that existed in cyberspace
that no one ever knew.
The lights go out
they go to bed
and nothing's left but me and you.
And the sleepless lovers be,
because they know their time is brief.
And life is bittersweet
you never feel complete.
And the sleepless lovers feel
they know their time's not real.
And the sleepless lover be
because they know their time is brief.
And life is bittersweet
you never feel complete.

If you wake alone
You're never alone
I'm here with you.
And if you fold
I'll be on hold
I'm here to miss you.
Say you won the lottery in the obituary
But your broken heart still beats
It beats just fine
You've heard a thousand times
When Katrina loves
The world falls down
Never accept things you can't allow.
Every song you ever held so dear
Hear the voices ringing in your ears
The storms they call themselves
in the ever-changing sea.
Approach the sun in daylight
like it's the last you'll ever see.
When Katrina laughs
the lines haunting pass.
It comes around her.
When Katrina hates
It's like a hurricane
the world's never the same.
When Katrina loves
Tsunami bombs
The storm before the calm.
But her broken heart still beats
it beats just fine.
She's heard a thousand times.
When Katrina loves
the world falls down.
Never accept things you can't allow.
Every song you ever held so dear
Hear the voices ringing in your ears
The storms they call themselves
in the ever-changing sea.
Approach the sun in daylight
like it's the last you'll ever see.
Love was just a dream
In a painting of the sea
Sailing ships through eternity
That was just my dream.
Love was just a dream.
In a painting of the sea.
Sailing ships through eternity
that was just my dream.

Don't you make Maria cry,
cause there's tears runnin down her eyes.
It comes as no surprise
that she wears a disguise.
Don't you make Maria cry,
cause there's tears runnin down her eyes.
It comes as no surprise
that she wears a disguise.
She looks and sees the spaces in between
Often those we never see.
If I were to be so brave,
to call upon my chambermaid
She'd meet me and she'd greet me in the shade
She wears a disguise and it's a shame
because they're her mothers eyes.
The disapproving looks she would get...
Don't you make Maria cry,
cause there's tears runnin down her eyes.
It comes as no surprise
that she wears a disguise.
Don't you make my Maria cry,
cause there's tears runnin down her eyes.
It comes as no surprise
that she wears a disguise.
She cooks and cleans the spaces in between
Often those we never reach
If I were to be so brave
to call upon my favorite lay.
She'd meet me and she'd greet me in the shade.
She wears a disguise and it's a shame because her father cries
The kind of ries that keep you up all night.
Don't you make Maria lie
Cause there is another side (no one sees)
should the war outside - subside
She wears a disguise.

There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
Sometimes all a man needs
are hugs and kisses.
Heaven so close
in the arms of a missus.
Bruises, cuts, on his hands
needs a woman who understands.
Open up the gates and I'll drive right in.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
Sometimes all a man needs
is wishful thinking.
Heaven so close
when his heart that is sinking.
Bruises cuts on his hands
needs a woman who understands.
Open up the gates and I'll drive right in.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
well you lie and you cheat and you say it isn't true
but I alway wind up inside of you.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
you never laugh, you never cry, you never bother anymore
so I'm walking to the devil while you're walking out the door.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
like a box around my mind, like a cage around my soul
being inside of you is taking its toll.
There's nothing in this world that a man rather do
than spend every morning inside of you
waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you.
Tell me!
Is it true or untrue?
Spend every morning inside of you.
Waking up next to you
putting my love inside of you

I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your heart even if the lord takes me tonight
And like a melody coursing through my brain you're forever with me
And like a melody traveling through the night you forever are with me
And we come on to the fork in the middle of the road it divides us so tell me what there for
Here's my flesh, licking honey from the razors edge
Cause I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your arms even if the lord takes me tonight
Cause I'll stay in your heart even if the lord takes me tonight
And i feel like I'm lost even God above cant find me now
Cause stay in your arms somehow
Waking up the same place I lay down
in the bed that I have made
Weren't it for all the nights
I've lost count of all the passing days

I'm taping up the posters that hung across my wall
I had a hard time lookin' at them, they made me feel so small
In my sadness, which quickly became my cage
In my silence, where I confessed my rage
Cedric Bixler-Zavala made me feel so small
with that quaint TMV poster that hung across my wall
and he spoke to me from the darkness of my heart
and he wrote to me, from the bottomless of my heart please don't stop
Sanctuary, quickly torn apart, please don't stop
that one last bottled remark
that one last bottled remark
Sanctuary, my one last place in the sun
My one last place to hide
My one last place to run
My one last place to run
My one last place to run
My one last place to run

A boy in a foreign foreign land
shook the eyes of another boy
never grow to be a man.
I hope his family understands.
How can his family understand?
The man in a white suit
wages war through a voting booth.
He feels right within himself
he has a purpose now.
All the world is fast asleep
they're shaking hands and moving their feet.
They're kissing babies, make outrageous claims that
God and the devil are one in the same
sometimes.
A boy in a foreign foreign zoo
he draws 21 and his friend draws 22.
An eye for an eye
just a matter of time before we all go blind.

he has a purpose now.
And all the world is fast asleep
they're shaking hands and moving their feet.

I'm drinking myself into the womb again, again.

I'm drinking myself into the womb cause what else can you do?
When the ghosts are dead and you're nailed to the bed
Left howlin' at the moon
Well you told me time, it doesn't end, it just keeps going on
I turned away, said "what about today?" and then I told you you were wrong.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba

Are you scared to fly?
Can you stand to be alone?
It's not the end of the world when we all die
You never want to go home.
And it's alright here
Here inside this bed
It's not
Alright here
Here inside my head.
Cause you and me
we had this thing going on,
you tell the town
they like to talk about.

But it's not
