Turns out you learned a lot, it’s just that most of it was wrong
Turns out you pulled it off, but now you’re putting it back on
Turns out your scary neighbor’s actually a really sweet guy
Turns out there really is a heaven, just no one goes there when they die, die, die
I just can’t can’t keep up keep up
I can’t keep it all together
I don’t know which way I’m heading,
I can’t make out what you’re saying
I just can’t can’t I just can’t keep up
It ain’t easy being evil when the whole world’s gone to hell
It ain’t easy breaking even when you’ve got nothing to sell
I’ve been working on my problems, I’ve been hanging out in bars
I’ve been doing the la-la-la, but then it always goes to far
I just can’t can’t keep up keep up
I can’t keep it all together
I don’t know which way I’m heading,
I can’t make out what you’re saying
I just can’t can’t I just can’t keep up
I just can’t can’t keep up keep up
I can’t keep it all together
I don’t know which way I’m heading,
I can’t make out what you’re saying
I just can’t can’t I just can’t keep up

Out walking around, kinda thinking aloud about how the world kinda let me down
Yeah oh well, I sing a little tune it goes la-da-da-do-do-do-do-do
Yeah well how are you are? I hope things are well. I hope you’re happy and in good health.
Tell your folks I said “hello”, or don’t, or tell them whatever.
She said, “oh yeah, you should have known.”
I said, “Next time I’ll do better though.”
She said, “No. See, that’s just it you won’t.”
I said, “Ok, yeah maybe so.”
But I sing, “la-di-di-di-da” with the people!
From the barstools of our dimlit cathedral
Riding out into town for the weekend
I don’t know, oh baby, just let me go.

I've been in Exile in Washington, D.C.

The whole town seems inverted
They got walls, they got walls,

We got soft, baby,we got caught, yeah we got robbed
And I went woah-oh-oh-oh (woah woah-oh-oh-oh)
We got soft, baby, we got caught yeah, we got lost
And I went woah-oh-oh-oh (woah woah-oh-oh-oh)
And I'm a filthy alcoholic (yeah!)
Keep your daughter away from me
I get pumped once I get started
End up with blood all in my teeth
We got soft, baby,we got caught, yeah we got robbed
And I went woah-oh-oh-oh (woah woah-oh-oh-oh)
We got soft, baby, we got caught yeah, we got lost
And I went woah-oh-oh-oh (woah woah-oh-oh-oh)
We should mess around,

You ought to stay
Don't be afraid
I won't mess you up,

You know, go play along the ground

We’re screaming in the street, we got sick, and we got weak.
And we’re crawling on our hands and knees, trying to find something to eat
Something to eat, Yeah, eee, yeah, eeee yeah
I don’t have no savior, I don’t have nowhere to go
I got surprises in my pocket, I got people, I got people that know
Somewhere yeah, someone’s dictating a letter.
You don’t have no kind of patience if you don't have no time to write.
Woah, eee ooohhh
We’re calling out your name. I got lost, and I got blamed.
We’re clawing at your door, cuz we dont have anywhere to go
Anywhere to go eee oh

Today's kids are not rockers
They don't play drums they shake maracas
They play their songs on ukuleles
When they have sex they wear condoms
Why don't you listen to Nrivana
Instead of that little bitch Bon Iver
You've got tattoos and piercings
But all your music's like James Taylor
I wanna see some blood
Let's see some blood
In your rock 'n roll
Today's kids are wicked lame
They don't play guitar they're all DJs
Yeah they spin their dubstep records
When they have sex they wear condoms
I wanna see some blood
Let's see some blood
In your rock 'n roll

Condoms Are For Sailors
03:09

Condoms are for sailors, I believe in every word
and it looks like you could use a cigarette
We were floating in the water, I was pacing back and forth
Yeah, you know I always love bashing in my head.
Now I'm feeling like some ghost
You've got some nerve showing your face around here
Everybody knows what you are and where you've been
You've got that fire on your face boy I swear
You do it hard, you do it fast, it's gonna do you in
You'll end up like some folks
Hey hey hey commotion, Jesus save me
Pu-pu-pu pull me out from the fire
Sh-sh-sh shake me all you wanna,
yeah, you know, it's never enough

All Shook Up
03:44
|

|
The years keep changing but the gun's still in my heart
There's a serpent on the sidelines telling me that I'm a star
I read the message that you texted to my phone
It said "Don't you come around here you're not welcome no more"
And the cars are running up and down the block
Yeah, i sit by and watch all the people blowing their horns
And they scream and they shout
These days are draining they take everything you got
Like a deer caught in the headlights you look all shook up.
I read the message that you texted to my phone
It said "Don't you come around here, don't wanna see you no more"
And the cars are running up and down the block
Yeah, i sit by and watch all the people blowing their horns
And they scream and they SHOUT

Get Lost
04:24
|
|||
|
She don't want to go to heaven, get drinks or go to dinner
She's a big red ribbon, burly kind of woman
I'm a safe house sing-a-long microwave oven
alcohol poisoning chance to get lost
If you would, your time ran out, so get lost.
Get your stuff - there's just no space to hang around
Torch the stable, rip the wings off some angels
Buy some fancy clothes, stock bonds and potatoes
I'm a safe house sing-a-long microwave oven
alcohol poisoning chance to get lost
If you would, your time ran out, so get lost.
Get your stuff - there's just no space to hang around

Over&Over
02:57
|

|
One after another and it comes and goes just over and over
Pushing and pulling the levers, up and down and over and over
Caught up in the barbed wire, I'm just trying to think straight.
Jumping from the window and landing on my suitcase.
One after another and it comes and goes over and over
Circling this town forever, up and down and over and over
Caught up in the barbed wire, I'm just trying to think straight.
Jumping from the window and landing on my suitcase.
Is this even the hard part, I sure hope it's worth it
Jumping from the window and landing on my suitcase
Woah. - Its running you down you've had enough of this lane,
you put in the time and it blew up in your face.
You keep on singing yourself the same old song.
It goes woah.

Long Folk Revival
06:11
|

|
It's the long folk revival, I'm gonna write my motto in stone
It says, "here lies the good life, don't whisper to me when I die"
Yeah, it had to be stopped.
My home is empty, there's a long lost song on my tongue.
It's the new education of Henry Adams, I guess.
And the floor won't roll me in.
It won't wind up and throw.
You're there and I'm back here on my own.
You set the one trap I'd never foil.
You went on out there, start slowing me down.
