| "Father of Mine" |
father of mine
tell me whaere have you been
you know i just closed my eyes
my whole world disappeared
father of mine
take me back to the day
when i was still your golden boy
back before you went away
i remember the blue skies
walking th eblock
i loved it when you held me high
i loved to hear you talk
you would take me to the movie
you would tke me to the beach
you would take me to a place inside
that is so hard to reach
father of mine
tell me where did you go
you had the world inside your hand
but you did not seem to know
father of mine
tell me what do you see
when you look back at your wasted life
and you don't see me
i was ten years old
doing all that i could
it wasn't easy for me
to be a scared white boy
in a black neighborhood
sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
i never understood you then
and i guess i never will
daddy gave me a name
my dad he gave me a name
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my dad gave me a name
father of mine
tell me where have you been
i just closed my eyes
anmd the world disappeared
father of mine
tell me how do you sleep
with the children you abandoned
and the wife i saw you beat
i will never be safe
i will never be sane
i will always be weird inside
i will always be lame
now i'm a grown man
with a child of my own
and i swear i'm not going to let her know
all the pain i have known
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my dad gave me a name
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my dad gave me a name
then he walked away |
| "I Will Buy You A New Life" |
Here is the money that i owe you
so you can pay the bills
i will give you more
when i get paid again
i hate those people who love to tell you
money is the root of all that kills
they have never been poor
they have never had the joy
of a welfare christmas
i know we will never look back
you say you wake up crying
yes and you don't know why
you get up and you go lay down
inside my baby's room
i guess i'm doing ok
i moved in with the strangest guy
can you believe
he actually thinks
that i'm really alive
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shinny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
yes i will
i know all about that other guy
the handsome man with athletic thighs
i know about all the times before
with that obsessive little rich boy
they might think you're happy
yeah maybe for a minute or two
they can't make you laugh
no they can't make you feel
the way that i do
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shinny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
yes i will
i know we can never look back
will you please let me stay the night
no one will ever know
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shinny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
i will buy you a new life |
| "Santa Monica" |
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die |
