Driving You Insane

I wanna be lazy
I wanna get rough
I wanna feel precious
I wanna get tough
I wanna be Jesus up on the cross
I wanna have visions with each drop of blood
I wanna be reckless
I wanna be free
I wanna be rich and on TV
I wanna be god and paint the sky red
I wanna untangle the chains in my head
But most of all
I wanna be driving you insane
I wanna have heaven knock on my door
I gotta have passion seep through my floor
I wanna be old so I don’t care
I will be so happy, just to have my share
I wanna be weightless, walk on the moon
I wanna hear gunfire shot at high noon
I wanna be Moses and part the seas
and treasure the freedom beneath my feet
But most of all I wanna be driving you insane
I wanna be driving you insane
I wanna be driving you insane
I wanna be driving you insane

the boy next door seems to have changed
he wears fatigues his head is shaved
and yesterday he built a bomb
hoping to impress his mom
he lives in anger and the anger’s real
circle round the fire
beat the drums, hate is higher
find a scapegoat for the pyre
call him evil call him liar
feed the anger, anger will prevail
* He said I got a loaded weapon yeah
I got a loaded gun
And I won’t hesitate to fire
Fire on someone
Careful on the street
you never know who you might meet
is it him or is it me
do I have to make him bleed
live in fear and the fear is real
take it, steal it, push it, sell it
it don’t matter here in hell
how you feel you’ll never tell
stay alive you’re doing well
feed the fear, fear will prevail

Fun for the Rich
04:07

Mercedes or Ferrari racing down the road
always something happening, somewhere on the globe
Extravagance, such a silly game
your wildest desires of power and fame
Limo to the Hamptons, lear jet to LA
private plane to calvin’s, a key west holiday
so many big decisions, safari or the cruise
always having millions in currencies to choose
fun for the rich
well off
flew air sunshine twice today
that’s my husband on his way
he bought the airline for his girl
you know i’ve seen the whole wide world
I like the wine, I like to dine, I like it cause the plane is mine
I like the sun, that’s why i’m here, who needs ny this time of year
don’t know what to wear now, the emeralds or the pearls
apres ski in switzerland or st. moritz or vail
nouveau riche, champagne and keep the change
always going shopping spends a fortune to look strange
fun for the rich
filthy rich

Simple Matters
04:36
|

Simple Matters get confused
mixed up by the tongues we choose
what I say and what you hear
always differs it’s not clear
simple matters in my head get cloudy as the day goes on
nod your head yes or no why can’t you decide what’s right or wrong
one must change the mask he wears
to see how others fit in theirs
no one shares one point of view
so simple matters get confused
simple matters in my head get cloudy as the day goes on
nod your head yes or no why can’t you decide what’s right or wrong
have a touch of sympathy
talking is a tricky thing
simple matters get confused
clouded by the words we use
simple matters in my head get cloudy as the day goes on

I Wanna Do Ya
04:14
|

|
No one watching
Everyone gone to bed
Lemme just get on top
Lemme just do you dead
* I wanna do ya
I wanna do ya right now
I wanna do ya
I wanna do ya right now
Something’s bubbling
Inside turning out
Lemme just get on top
Lemme just scream and shout
* I wanna do ya
I wanna do ya right now
I wanna do ya
I wanna do ya right now
Oh my body’s aching
All my limbs are shaking
Everything wrung so tight
All I need is one good night

Peace in Mind
05:22

Somewhere in the mountains
I can hear my heart
Beating loud and clearly
Avalanche will start
Wondering why we had to part
Somewhere by the river
Alone I’m diving in
Somewhere in the water
I can taste my skin
Don’t know ‘bout the shape I’m in
Wondering how I’m hanging in
*In the morning, in the night
In the darkness in the light
Wishing for some peace in mind
Frightened by desire, frightened by my life
Wishing for some peace in mind
Somewhere by the train tracks
Listening to the wind
Ear up to the rail tie
Train is coming in
Don’t know ‘bout the shape I’m
Wondering how I’m hanging in

Rain
03:47
|

|
Rain is falling on my head
Washing away all the things you said
Now I walk away fresh and clean and the
Sun will shine on me again
*Rain
Wind is blowing across my face
Driving your words away
Mother nature, she soothes my soul
Mother nature, she makes me whole
*Rain
Snow it gently cools me down
Softly covering my shaky ground
I forget you submersed in white
I forget you each winter night
*Rain

Like A Flower
06:26

You were sunshine to my darkness
You were yellow to my black
And I’d watch you with your paintbrush
And your blond hair pulled back
You were so much younger but you seemed so wise
And I’d always look for answers in your blue green eyes
Your world was like a field all open and wide
And I’d watch you in the moonshine basking in the light
Like a flower, like a flower in its prime
No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed
It started with your boyfriend
He asked you to get money
So I gave you all my money
Yeah, I saved you with all I had
And when you thought you should just disconnect your phone
So everyone who loved you would leave you alone and
When you had your child that you couldn’t bring home
Cause your junky boyfriend was so stoned
You died in my mind
You died in my soul
No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed
No it’s never ever ever been the same
No I’ll never look at you in the same old way
No it’s never ever ever been the same
Everything went crazy, everything changed
No it’s never ever ever been the same
No I’ll never look at you in the same old way
No it’s never ever ever been the same and I
Want you back in your sunshine days

Cowboy Poets
05:48

My father was a cowboy
My mother was his bride
He left her for a couplet
He left me with his pride
The dust he stirred clouds over
The wind howls through my eyes
I’d like to stay here with you
But I fear his words will die
* The Cowboy Poets
Carry a gun
Their words are their weapons
And their songs, unsung
The legacy he left me
It keeps me all alone
And so I now must leave you
And travel on my own
* The Cowboy Poets
Carry a gun
Their words are their weapons
And their songs, unsung
The Cowboy Poets
Give you the best
Ride through a stanza
to the code of the west
*
