Suddenly my life has become a bad country song. My car wont start. My bike has a flat tire. My bank accounts overdrawn. I had to get rid of my poor dog. In my head. There’s a bad country song. I get out of bed, I’m living in a bad country song. My dad offered his help but his wife’s a bitch my mother lost her mind. My brothers can’t be bothered they’re looking down on me. I got $4.39 to my name. In my head. There’s a bad country song. I get out of bed. I’m living in a bad country song. I just want to sing the blues. Man I’m so sick of hearing this tune. Its stuck in my head and I’ll be whistling and tapping my foot i just keep on listening. It’s in my head. Lifes a bad country song. I get out of bed. Living in a bad country song.

Spare change? How about a slice…or one of those 7-11 boneless chicken wings? God bless everyone on Santa Monica. I missed or I’m late for my alanon meeting. Dont mess with me. I’ll cut your throat. Get out of my country. Dont sink my boat. Dont mess with me. I’m a bad bad man. Can’t feel my feet. Got the dead man’s hands. But in another…in another life I was supreme. In another life, people listened to me. Time for another life. Time for another life. My kidneys hurt. Can’t take another aspirin or beer. The universe says things. I listen to her. She looks me in the eyes. Oooohh. She took my motorcycle. But I’ve got a bass guitar. You know what she’s doing? Shes figuring me out. See what I’m about in this life. Dont mess with me. I’ll kill you dead. Get out of my country. Get out of my head. Dont mess with me. I got the devils goat. I can’t care less. I choose to beg. But in another, in another, in another, in another, in another life, I was supreme. In another life, people listened to me. Time for another life. Time for another life. I used to be Martin Luther king baby! I remember when I was pocahontas. They built the pyramids for me baby! They called me “Old Blood And Guts” yes, in another, in another, in another, in another, in another life, I was supreme. In another life, people listened to me. Time for another life. Time for another life. Time for another life.

Its Christmas time and in the morning, the ones we love will open a morning. Its Christmas time, a time for mourning. A year is gone, but a new year is forming. Happy holiday. I’m giving love, leave it under a tree. Happy holiday, from God above and his only son. Happy holiday. With gilded glory, your story goes on. Happy Holiday. Happy holiday. Yes its Christmas time and in the evening, the faithless just might start believing. Well its christmas time, my god I’m a sinner. Next time around, I’ll be a winner. Happy Holiday. I’m giving love, shove it down the chimney. Happy holiday from Jesus Christ, God bless your eyes. Happy Holiday, with gilded glory your story goes on. Happy holiday. Happy holiday.

I…I’ve been away. I’ve been around but I dont know what to say. Go…go. its not your place. Quit hanging around like someone owes you something. Do you move me? What do you do for me? You got to prove to me that your of some use to me. I’m a somebody. A somebody. Your talking to a somebody. A somebody. He was sharp, barrel-chested and brave. He fought in world war 2 he passed at 93. A fool works himself to death. Cross yourself he’s turning blue as your drink. Do you move me? What do you do for me? You’ve got to prove to me. That your of some use to me. I’m a somebody. I’m a somebody. Talking to a somebody. A walking talking somebody. You are not yourself, how’s your mental health? Wheres the you that I knew? I want that stranger back. Come whisper in my ear. All I hear are facts and they bore me so. Are you still here? Somebody, somebody move me. Make something finally mean something. I’m a somebody. I’m somebody.

You look just like her. You’ve got the moves, just like her. You’ve got that darkness, just like her. It’s too bad you’re not her. There’s just one in the world. There’s only one in the world. One in the world, I found her. One in the world, I lost her. One in the world. Shes out there now. One in the world, I let her down. I look and I see her. I wrote a book about her. Shes in my dreams and my nightmares. Still in my life after all these years. Just one in the world. There’s only one in the world. One in the world, I found her. One in the world. I lost her. One in the world, shes out there now. One in the world, I let her down. She dont care at all. She dont care at all. There’s only one in the world, I found her one in the world, I lost her. One in the world. Shes out there now. One in the world. I let her down. She dont care at all. She dont care at all. She couldn’t care less couldn’t care less couldn’t care less. She got no regrets. Shes the only one in our world for me. Nanananana no no no, she yeah yeah yeah dont care. One in the world oh oh oh. Mmm mmm and she dont care at all.

I couldn’t remember the feel of money in my hand or what it was like to wake up with a lover by my side. My nose was runny and my clothes was heavy from the rain. You let me climb into your bed, you let me climb into your bed. Now I’m collapsing at your feet. I’ve roamed this coast through misery. Nobody cares except for you, you’re the only one who knows what I’m going through. Nobody cares . Nobody cares except for you. Nobody cares. Nobody cares except for you. Dont know what to tell you about the rest of the world. I just dont know. Can’t afford to be anything but sober tonight. That’s all I know. Lying in your arms and the summer heat and the weight of the world, we keep it all outside. To hell with them to. To hell with them to. Now I’m collapsing at your feet. I’ve roamed the desert with swollen feet. Now nobody cares except for you. You’re the only one who knows what I’m going through, yeah. So much television – I’m going blind. In the quiet suburbs baby – I can unwind. Catch me in the moment mama – there I can die. It’s a risky business angel – feeling alive. I’m collapsing at your feet I’ve blown through the money, I’ve chased my dreams. Now nobody cares except for you, you’re the only one who knows what I’m going through. Nobody cares. Nobody cares except for you. Nobody….etc

You barely got here and your complaining now. You sit in my armchair with your folding frown. Now what we have here is a case of a clown whose straight out of laughter in a serious town. What’s funny now? Who’s funny now? What’s funny now? Who’s funny now? Now now now. You should have made good with me. You put me down to come up quickly. I’ll get mine, yours is coming around. My oh my, what’s funny now? Now now now…. You say “What went wrong here?” I say “I dont know.” What happens to the laughter? Where do the good times go? When you dissapear to some sleepy town, I’ll scratch my head as I wonder out loud “What’s funny now, who’s funny now?” What’s funny now. Who’s funny now? Now now now! You had it made but you made a mistake that cost an arm and a leg and I’m laughing hard. Run away, run away home. You should have made good with me. You put me down to come up quickly. I’ll get mine but yours is coming around. My oh my, what’s funny now? Now now now….. what’s funny now? Who’s funny now? Etc..

Dont apologize. It don’t mean a thing. Yeah its alright. Take it. Just take it from me. Wear my clothes. Put on my hat. Have my woes. Why don’t you take it from me? Just take it all from me. Drive my car. Spend my cash. Bang my wife, have a blast. Do my blow, there’s my stash. I’ve let go and I ain’t lookin’ back. I’m laying low. I’ve been out in the sun and I’ve got me a burn. You say it looks like fun. Why don’t you take it from me? Why dont you take it from me? Wear my clothes. Put on my hat. Have my woes. Take it! Take it take it take it take it. Drive my car. Spend my cash. Bang my wife, have a blast. Do my blow, there’s my stash. I’ve let go and I ain’t looking back. I’m layin low.

When you’ve got a minute to talk, I think we should. Somethings changed, tell me is it me? Let me down quickly. It’s hard on my heart, but I wont let you see. Let me down quickly. So I can keep moving along on my feet. Let me down quickly. Now, you’ve had time to think. I’ve got to know. Say it plainly. Is it time I go? Let me down quickly. It’s hard on my heart but I wont let you see. Let me down quickly. So I can keep moving along on my feet. Let me down quickly.

Trying to meditate but the world can’t seem to wait. My phones turned off but my mind is not. Each day has become a race to the finish now. You can’t slow down and the days compound. But you…oh, you can take it away. You’ll stop the “tick tock” you’ll freeze the clock but let the willows sway. I want you around but you can’t be found at a fast pace. Our love is in slow motion, it’s in slow motion. Touch me in slow motion. Kiss me in slow motion. Life passes by listlessly. I close my eyes, and im trying not to think but like swollen pine, my thoughts drift to you. We’ll meet at some cafe, where the dessert moon brushes the sage and the altitude make one glass feel like two. We’ll take it slow. You’re the girl for me, some sunny day we’ll meet. True love eventually. Let’s take it slow. Living in my dreams. You’re gonna be so sweet. When will I see you? Oh you should hesitate. the last one pulled a fast one, that’s when I pumped the breaks. Were not out of time but we can’t rewind so let’s play it safe and love in slow motion. In slow motion. Kiss me in slow motion. Touch me In slow motion.
