Inside Outside

Inside, outside where do we go from here?
Inside, outside where do you disappear?
All of the things you told me
They failed to come true
Everyone tried to tell me
That I couldn’t trust you
Left me without a name
And number to hang onto
What’s a loving boy to do?
Inside, outside where do we go from here?
Inside, outside whisper it into my ear
All of the things you told me
Came true and then some
Emeralds and rubies and diamonds
That shined like the sun
Emeralds and rubies and diamonds
That shined like the sun
You are the wise magician
Who makes the miracles you think they can’t
come true, but then you know they do
Inside, outside where do we go from here?
Inside, outside where do we disappear
Inside, outside where do we go from here
Inside, outside whisper it into my ear
Ahh… Ahh… Ahh…

Long Time

Long time feeling jealous of you
Long time,
long time feeling jealous and I don't know what to do
Don't know which way the wind will blow, can't find a love that's true
Long time,
Long time feeling jealous gonna send it back to you
Red Wine from the glass rushing to my brain
Red Wine,
Red Wine from the glass gonna take away my pain
Gonna take myself away from here, gonna wash away the stain
Red Wine,
Red Wine from the glass gonna take away my pain
Ooh-
Cold world have I known these many years
Cold world,
Cold world have I known and I'm holding back the tears
Hold back the pain and the bitter taste from a love so insincere
Cold world,
Cold world have I known gonna make it disappear
gonna make it disappear
gonna make it disappear

Monday Afternoon
03:26

I called you on a Monday afternoon
I watched you fly away in a big balloon
Maybe you could call me someday soon
I watched your little brother yesterday
You went somewhere else to make a play
I'm so fed up I don’t know what to say
So fed up it’s best you stay away
Maybe on Friday
We can walk to the liquor store
We can get high babe
We won’t need to ask for
need to ask for more
Interlude
I called you on a Monday afternoon
I didn’t think you’d call me back so soon
Let’s go for a ride in your big balloon
Or just stay inside and watch cartoons
Maybe on Friday
We can walk to the liquor store
We can get high babe
We won’t need to ask for need to ask for more
Maybe on Sunday
We can sail across the sea
Lie in the sun babe
Life was meant to be this
meant to be this
meant to be this free

Old Hard Story
04:29
|

Getting on the highway makes me happy
I will take the wheel if you’ll let me
How was I to know you would upset me?
Sunshine on your face tells me the story
of lovers you erased and came before me
That’s the kind of man I am, I’m sorry
What’s it like being you?
Can you see what I’ve been through?
Does it seem like the past
is now slipping through your grasp?
On the way to the dump down the street
in the old hard story
Caught between the lines on the freeway
You can’t ever see me on a weekday
Tell me that sounds just like something he’d say
Jingle jangle mornings back in Frisco
All your favorite songs are rap and disco
You go north and I’ll go back to Reno
What’s it like being you?
Can you see what I’ve been through?
Does it seem like the past
is now slipping through your grasp?
On the way to the dump down the street
past the old hard story
Interlude
What’s it like being you?
Can you see what I’ve been through?
Does it seem like the past
is now slipping through your grasp?
On the way to the dump down the street
in the old hard story
On the way to the dump down the street
in the old hard story
On the way to the dump down the street
in the old hard story

In Olden Days

In Olden days when time stood still
you took a while and you took your fill
And after all I gave your will to someone else instead
When time alone was holding you
you looked at the skies for something new
But everyone said why don’t you rest your weary head?
And I was there in '63
and I was there when you turned the key
And in the old reformatory you gave your life for me
Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want you to hide
interlude
I recognize your mamas face
I recognize the human race
I recognize this other place where we used to go
You shot the bird, you shot the grouse
We laughed out loud at Mickey Mouse
And in the old abandoned house, you gave your life for me
Something that I contemplate
comes to me at half past eight
What you saw and how we relate still won’t leave with me
Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want to deny
Something saw you
Something moved you inside
I don’t want you to hide
(You To hide)
