1.
Toss and turn all night / fidget through the day Blacking out the blues / till everything turns gray Closing up my chest / I'm hanging up a sign This space is for rent / brother, can you spare a dime? I can't catch my breath / my mind is racing I just need a rest / from this fucking thing Please leave me alone /I didn't ask for this There's a fuse blown / the wires spark and hiss I don't have time for regrets, I just have time to worry I can't stay up all night crying over you, I've got some worrying to do How long has it been / since we cleaned out the place? These tiny little things / our endless numbered days Can't think of who I was / before all this went down Lift me up so high / then put me in the ground
2.
Tennis 03:00
Where's my wife / where's my kid They told me to do something with my life / so I did I built a house / termites came for it But a man with a goal, now that you just can't fuck with I spent 35 years playing your game / now the only one we're gonna play is mine There's just one thing that I've got left to do / and then everything's gonna be fine I'm gonna play tennis in all 50 states / then I'm gonna die in Florida On 16th Street / there was this kid I taught him how to play / I don't know if he remembers it I bike around and I pick up change / I can't get old if I never act my age I spent 35 years playing your game / now the only one we're gonna play is mine There's just one thing that I've got left to do / and then everything's gonna be fine I'm gonna play tennis in all 50 states / then I'm gonna die in Florida
3.
In the Light 03:19
I'm too pissed off / and you're just crazy Maybe that's why we can't get along The dust has settled / but my vision is still hazy And I don't remember my drink being this strong All my problems are now your problem And all of my faults are your fault, too One of these days, we're gonna get to see what we look like in the light Open the door / and let me inside I must have missed a step, 'cause now I'm down on the floor From down here, I can see the play we're in And there's a gun on the table that I've seen before All my problems are now your problem And all of my faults are your fault, too One of these days, we're gonna get to see what we look like in the light
4.
I don't give a single shit / you can take it all back, I'm done with this I will live on bread and stone / just bring me back the peace I've known Grind my teeth down into bits / and pull my nails out by the tips I will not yield like all the rest / can't take a breath until my last I don't know if this is what you wanted I just know that this is what you got Watch the petals dot the water / drift away to the far shore Summer's gone, no time for dreaming / no one lives here anymore I don't know if this is what you wanted I just know that this is what you got
