where did all the time go? what's with all the pain? every time you take the wheel you just drive me insane & all the times that I remember were much easier when i had you and you had me & that was that the fire in your eyes it is raging tonight cause you didn't like something I said shoot me down, you just go right ahead but i'm still gonna love you when I'm dead sing a simple song to me right before you pull that trigger from down here on the floor i've got to say you look much bigger than all the monuments erected in my rambling mind but when I look past all those bricks you're what I find the fire in your eyes it is raging tonight cause you didn't like something I said shoot me down, you just go right ahead but i'm still gonna love you when I'm dead I'm still gonna love you below or up above you I'm still gonna love you when I'm dead

wicked charm 03:06
Mouth is dirty & my slate is clean, I want caffeine & a piece of that pie. I don't whisper no cest la vie's but i might scream "skate or die". Ain't no billboard can love or thank me, only rank me on bought success. I don't watch baseball but i hate the yankees, quite frankly, I am not impressed. A lot is lost in that Babylon, you just ramble on like a car alarm. Everything good is handed down, In our small towns, with a big wicked charm. Pockets empty with a glass half full, just keep my cool while the iron is warm. All the highs that we've hopped with cheer were brewed right here in these small towns with a big wicked charm.

Meet me in Baltimore tonight yeah we could see it in a different light & turn the page without complaint without the music i am lost. It could be worse, I've got it good, consider the alternative before I'm left wishing that I could, everyone is misunderstood. Misunderstood. It's understood. Don't you be sitting still for long, somewhere your river is running strong. It's just out of reach, practice what you preach. Without the music it is lost. It could be worse, You've got it good, consider the alternative before you're left wishing that you could, everyone is misunderstood. Misunderstood. It's understood. Meet me in Baltimore. It could be worse, We've got it good, consider the alternative before we're left wishing that we could, everyone is misunderstood. Misunderstood.

warm blooded 02:08
A good cup of coffee from my favorite spot down the road. It might cost me but i know where it's grown. I don't need much I'm a simple man a warm blooded American. With a good fence I can do anything in my backyard. The present tense: When I hit it, I hit it hard. I don't need much I'm a simple man a warm blooded American. homegrown, independent, warm blooded American.

All I need tonight is you by my side. We're invincible, sharpening the dull. Find your groove out on the move yeah where you lay your head is your home. The great unknown. Everything is new when i hang with you. Living long and loud, if it's dirt or clouds. Find your groove out on the move yeah where you lay your head is your home. The great unknown. Where you lay your head is your home.

Freedom rings like a broken bell. Don't leave your lights on. I'm unique just like everybody else. Don't leave your light on. A pissed off kid for no good reason at all. Don't leave your light on. Turn the anger into some words on a wall. Don't leave your light on. From the belly of the beast we still hear it sing with all the warmth in everything. Oh it's just a feather in the wing. It's just a feather in the wing. Freedom rings like a broken bell. Don't leave your lights on. Hitching rides from a bat outta hell. Don't leave your light on. You can look but you better not tell. Don't leave your light on. I'm unique just like everybody else. Don't leave your light on. From the belly of the beast we still hear it sing with all the warmth in everything. Oh I'm just a feather in the wing. Oh I'm just a feather in the wing. I'm just a feather in the wing. I'm just a feather in the wing.

Dreaming up a new place to be, this hole in the ceiling takes all my belief. Reaching out to strangers and theives who just tun their backs when they get what they need. Can you feel my pain? Can you feel my pain? I just want someone to blame for this mess. I can't complain. You deserve more and I wish you the best. Everything's changed. "Here goes nothing" he says to himself. He takes a deep breath as he tightens that belt. His washed away ears ring like a bell. It's been a long time since he feels like he's felt. Can you feel my pain? Can you feel my pain? I just want someone to blame for this mess. I can't complain. You deserve more and I wish you the best. Everything's changed. No one's to blame.
