Anything to waste your time Any sin you call crime Any heart you can't break Any mind you can't take Oh oh Oh oh oh oh (Oh oh oh oh) Any thought that makes you numb Any drug to make you dumb Any jab to make you feel Any punch to make you ill

I should be happy Seeing you like this There's something about us I'll always miss He treats you badly I've seen it before Girl you need someone You can always adore I've seen this situation One million times One heart will take the leap One's left behind Your lifetime of devotion Is such an endless notion He don't deserve you anymore I wish things were different But time changes minds Your restless decisions Have made you blind One perfect condition Has turned out all wrong So don't worry girl It won't be that long He's got a way to keep you Underneath his thumb

I’ve got a lot riding on this game His heels are flush and his hand is about the same Fifteen for two, a skunk on Fourth Street I’ll cut a jack if you swear you’re not a cheat I’ll double run to be in your arms At thirty-one I might bet the farm Show me the cut card You won’t catch me off guard I won’t stay when you say, “GO!” So count the pairs, the fruits of labor Ragged Ann my thirteenth neighbor No nineteen’s, no stems just all sticks I know you’re lost but soon it’ll all click I’ll double run to be in your arms At thirty-one I might bet the farm Show me the cut card You won’t catch me off guard I won’t stay when you say, “GO!” I might be stuck inside this epic stink hole You’re out of luck all I need is a go… I’ll double run to be in your arms At thirty-one I might bet the farm I’m hauling some lumber Twenty-nine’s my favorite number I won’t stay when you say, “GO!”

You planted evidence I looked the other way When you were under oath I told you what to say You pleaded ignorance An air tight alibi Maintain your innocence Don't let your mother cry You can beat it, you lead them on Don't believe it, you bled them blonde They'll try to shake you down Release your steady nerve Under the heated lamp A polygraphic verve You call it crimes of passion

Every time I stand, I fall I’m outnumbered, I’ve counted Memories still haunt my past Can you tell I’m dying? I can’t stand I’m crawling back to you I can see the light ahead There’s one behind me closing Try to understand my side I’m stuck inside this quicksand

Pretty girl in my bed Is that what you said? Pretty girl on my mind She's there all the time I know you're thinking of me Cause I'm thinking of you I know you're winking at me Cause I'm winking at you Why do you feel the need to pass me by? I don't know why you let a good thing die Are you afraid your love's been hurt before? Or is there somebody who wants it more? Pretty girl near the end Can we still be friends? Pretty girl said goodbye Does she still wonder why?

Girl waiting for the bus What's your name? I've seen you around When i'm running late Can you tell That you make My heart start to swell? See you tomorrow on the... I'm so curious To know what you do Headphones and a book Wearing nice perfume Can you tell That you make My heart start to swell? See you tomorrow on the... Do you still live at home With your mom and dad? Or do you have a husband That makes you sad? Can you tell That you make My heart start to swell? See you tomorrow (Transfer all over) On the 15

She's dedicated and medicated She's waiting for the sky to fall She's having nights sweats in a dry spell She don't know if she'll leave at all I know that everything is always greener On the other side And if you'd treat me meaner You might not make out with another guy Royal urban siren You've made a tyrants fool of me She's suicidal even though she's reborn She's doing the twelve step two step now She's mental mapping at a roadside relapse Would you like to help her now? Royal urban siren You've made a tyrants fool of me With your sexy motor lisp And rattlesnake tongue Girl you shake the sheets Until you get it done

Flagship on Bethany Everyone's after me Static of South Mountain Black Canyon river fountain I'm getting dizzy getting dizzy spells I'm getting busy getting busy signals My modern modesty Fulfill my destiny Aching to climb aboard Collecting my reward I'm getting dizzy getting dizzy spells I'm getting busy getting busy signals Is it too late to ask you to stay?
10.
Sometimes I don't know what to do or say Sometimes I look in the mirror the wrong way The cars go speeding by they're always in a rush I don't know why my girlfriend's sister makes me blush I'll take the car pool lane Quiktrip® to Cigarette Chain If it were up to me I'd gladly set them free Forecast is calling for trouble at Time Out Lounge I never thought the man with the sign would watch me scrounge Strip malls and fancy cars a pool in the back yard Dragging my feet in dry heat an endless summer marred
