Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
And I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard in times like now to hold on
But guns they wait to be stuck by, at my side is God

And there ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round
Ain't no one goin' to turn me 'round

There's people around who tell you that they know
And places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down and stand you
in a row
But you know you don't have to, you can just say
"no"

I've been built up and trusted, broke down and
busted
But they'll get theirs and we will get ours if you can
Just-a hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
But I've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Well, I'll fall if I don't fight, and at my side is God

"IN THE STREET"
(Bell/Chilton)

Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do, but talk to you

Steal your car, and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had a joint so bad

Bust a street light
Out past midnight

"DON'T LIE TO ME"
(Bell/Chilton)

-Faint talking in background-
Voice 1 - "...the last"
Voice 2 - "Let's take it just from the break"
Voice 3 - "Fuck you"

Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me

I know where you been
And I know what you've been doing
Don't lie to me

Don't push me 'round, don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round, don't push me 'round

I told my dad
And now I'm telling you
Don't push me 'round

Don't cross me babe, don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe, don't cross me babe

Said you wouldn't
And now I'm making sure (but, I'm so unsure)
Don't cross me babe

"WHEN MY BABY'S BESIDE ME"
(Bell/*Chilton*)

Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked doors
I don't need to think

'Cause when my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, All I know
When my baby's beside me, I don't worry
When my baby's beside me, All I know

Read all my books and talked about
Listen to my radio
Been in school and dropped right out
Tryin' to find what I didn't know

"TRY AGAIN"
(*Bell*/Chilton)

Lord, I've been trying to be what I should
Lord, I've been trying to do what I could

But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But I'll try again

Lord, I've been trying to be understood
And Lord, I've been trying to do as you would

"WATCH THE SUNRISE"
(Bell/*Chilton*)

I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hands
Come inside and light my room
Like the heart of every man
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise

"LIFE IS WHITE"
(*Chilton*/Hummel)

Don't like to see your face
Don't like to hear you talk at all
I could be them
But, I'd just get bored
Can't even bring myself to call

And I don't want to see you now
'Cause I know what you lack
And I can't go back to that

Whatevers all the same
Now, there's nobody to know
And I can't recall, recall your name
All I can say is "so"

Your life is white
And I don't think I like
You hangin' around

"WHAT'S GOING AHN"
(*Chilton*/Hummel)

I liked her face and oh, those eyes
She left today, oh, goodbye
And looking at you I'm drained outright
And isolated in the light

Don't resent everyone
Ever since I was young
I'm starting to understand
What's going ahn and how it's planned

I like love, but, I don't know
All these girls, they come and go
Always nothing left to say

Oh, no

"BACK OF A CAR"
(*Chilton*/Hummel)

Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud, can't tell a thing
Thinkin' 'bout what to say
And I can't find the lines

Know I love you alot
I just don't know, should I or not
Waiting for a brighter day
And I can't find the way

I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I'd love you too

Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's ok
Trying to get away
From everything

Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

(talking)
Think so, what, maybe
One, two, three, four

She don't believe anything
She can dance oh now all night
So wild, she's a mover
She's so wild

Drag, fast we go
Ooh I dig speed so good
Destroy her in the cruiser
And destroy her

Shanae was Marsha
Marsha, Renee
She look like a dove now
And when she smile like crocodile

She tells the man to go to hell
And where that's at is where I'm coming from
So wild
Ooh she's a mover

She was devil you know
She finds herself in Catholic school
So wild
Ooh she's a mover

"WAY OUT WEST"
(Hummel)

She's a schemer and she makes me mad
But I love her alot, those lonely nights
I was in a big room, playing my things
Oh, I wish you were here, she can be so kind
When she's not trying to hide
She Tries not to love me but she knows she can't

And why don't you come on back
From way out west
And love me, we can work out the rest

She thinks she's a mystery to all
But I know what's behind those eyes
Sometimes, I think she'll make me forget
What I need most to remember
And then I'll slip on back
Even if they say it's better

"SEPTEMBER GURLS"
(Chilton)

September gurls do so much
I was your butch and you were touched
I loved you, well, never mind
I've been crying all the time

December boys got it bad

September gurls, I don't know why
How can I deny what's inside
Even though I'll keep away
Maybe we'll love all our days

When I get to bed, late at night
That's the time she makes things right
Ooh when she makes love to me

"JESUS CHRIST"
(Chilton)

Angels from the realms of glory
Stars shone bright above
Royal David's city
Was bathed in the light of love

Jesus Christ was born today
Jesus Christ was born

Lo, they did rejoice
Fine and pure of voice
And the wrong shall fail
And the right prevail

And we're gonna get born now

"O, DANA"
(Chilton)

I rather shoot a woman than a man,
I worry whether this is my last life
And girl, if you're listening
I'm sorry, I can't help it

O, Dana
O, Dana
Come on

I'm forevermore fighting with Steven
We do our goo-goo-koos
But we know, overboard and down
And strung out twice

We seldom know what things are
Two illusions going very far

I got busted across the bridge
They rounded up every soul
Now never the East Side
She says, "Don't give a girl a chance"
She's not afraid to take a chance

She's got a magic wand
That says play with yourself before other ones

"HOLOCAUST"
(Chilton)

Your eyes are almost dead, can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress, and you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Say you realize

Everybody goes, leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes, as far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errs

Your mother's dead, she said
"Don't be afraid"

Your mother's dead, you're on your own
She's in her bed

Everybody goes, leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes, as far as they can
They don't just care

You're a wasted face, you're a sad-eyed lie
You're a holocaust

"KANGA ROO"
(Chilton)

I first saw you, you had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you, you was at the party
Thought you was a queen, oh, so flirty
I came against

Didn't say excuse, knew what I was doing
We looked very fine, as we were leaving

Like Saint Joan, doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you, like a kanga roo

"BIG BLACK CAR"
(Chilton)

Driving in my big black car
Nothing can go wrong
I'm going and I don't know how far
So, so long

Maybe I'll sleep in a Holiday Inn

Nothing can hurt me
Nothing can touch me
Why should I care
Driving's a gas
It ain't gonna last

Sunny day, highway
If it rains it's all the same
I can't feel a thing
I can't feel a thing

I've got a big black car

The lights above, oh yes
I see the stars above

"THANK YOU FRIENDS"
(Chilton)

Thank you, friends
Wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
I'm so grateful for all the things you helped me do

All the ladies and gentlemen
Who made this all so probable

Thank you, friends
I rejoice to the skies
Dear ones like you do the best I do
As far as can see my eyes

Without my friends I got chaos
I'm off in a bead of light
Without my friends I'd be swept up high by the wind

All the ladies and gentlemen (I said all)
Who made this all so probable

Thank you friends (thank you, again)
Dear, dear friends (thank you, again)
And again, and again
Never too late to start
