Father of Mine
father of mine
tell me where 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 blue skies
walking the block
i loved it when you held me high
i loved to hear you talk
you would take me to the movie
you would take me to the beach
you would take me to the 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 he gave me a name
father of mine
tell me where have you been
i just closed my eyes
and the whole world disappeared
father of mine
tell me how you sleep at night
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 that I'm not going to let her know
all the pain i have know
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my dad he gave me a name
then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
then he walked away
my dad he 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 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 am really alive
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can grow
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny 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 about that other guy
the handsome man with athletic thighs
i know all about the times before
with that obsessive little rich boy
they might make you think you're happy
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 grow
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
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 grow
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny 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
Normal Like You
they say you called me maybe yesterday
i don't even have the strength
to pick up the phone
you wouldn't even know me
since you went away
the prozac doesn't do it for me anymore
you ought to
take your medication everyday
be a good dog
live life in a wonderful way
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
i get closer
to the place inside where i can be normal too
i heard those stupid people
talk about you again
i just have to laugh to keep from hurting bad
their simple minds just cannot seem to understand
you are neurotic and depressed
it doesn't mean that you're sad
you walk around oblivious to everything
you wear that party dress and black mascara
like you're queen for the day
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
i get closer
to the place inside where i can be normal too
i will never be normal like you
you walk around oblivious to everyone
i see you walking slow and simple
underneath the big black sun
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can be complacent
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can be sedated
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can be normal too
where i can be normal like you
maybe normal like you
i can be normal like you
Sunflowers
i know where you go
when you want to fall
why do you want to be broken?
I know where you go
when you want to fall
yes your friends they tell me everything
yes i know where you go
yes i know what you do
yes i know the awful things you say
and who you say them to
yes i know where you go
yes i know what you do
i know how you feel
you get crazy inside
they say it runs in the family
i know just how you feel
when you get crazy inside
your mom she said that
you are just like me
i can see it in your eyes
i can see it in your shaky hands
i think you think I'm stupid
you don't think i understand
i see you and i see myself
when i was a younger man
when you were a child
you were happy and free
you were my reason to live
i would die when you smiled at me
i can still see you
i remember you painting
sunflowers in your room
i know where you go
when you want to fall
hey don't you want to be happy?
I know where you go
when you want to fall
your useless friends
they tell me everything
everything
i see you run around in circles
i see you digging your own hole
i see you fight the fights
you just can't win
i see you losing self control
what it does to me
deep down inside
i hope you will never know
when you were a child
you were happy and free
you were my reason to live
i would die when you smiled at me
i can still see you
painting flowers on the wall
i remember you happy
i remember it all
yeah when you were a child
you were happy and free
you were my reason to live
i would die when you smiled at me
i can still see you
i remember you painting
sunflowers in your room
sunflowers in you room
all i want to remember
pretty pictures on the wall
i remember you happy
i remember it all
all i want to remember
sunflowers in your room
sunflowers in your room
Amphetamine
she cam out west
to find the sun
she lost her name
but found a new one
amy goes to school all day
but at night in the neighborhood
they call her
amphetamine
she is perfect in that fucked up way
that all the magazines
seem to glorify these days
she looks like a teenage anthem
she looks like she used to be happy with
the girl inside
she looks so bored sometimes
she has that super pale skin
and those soft eyes
she looks like she
could have been happy
in a better life
she came out west
just to break away clean
from her family and her friends
and a little girl's dream
all she wants to do every night
is sit beside my window
and listen to the sirens
she is perfect in that fucked up way
that all the magazines
seem to want to glorify these days
she looks like a teenage anthem
and she looks like she should have been happy
in another life
in another life
she came out west
just to break the spell
after three long years
in a marriage from hell
six months clean
living sober and right
the doctors tell her
everything will be alright
yeah you just take your pill
and everything will be alright
she looks like a teenage anthem
she looks like a magazine girl
she looks like a teenage anthem
and looks like she could have been
happy in another life
in another life
happy in another life
met her at a party
and i took her home
she is the saddest girl
that i have ever known
she wakes me up
in the middle of the night
just to tell me
everything will be alright
amy smiles at me and tells me
everything will be alright
i tell myself the same damn thing
everyday
everything will be alright
