Me and theo
We understand
How it feels in a frying pan.
Me and theo, we've been friends since 1988.
Me and theo
We've never been
To jamaica or to japan.
We was both born in a carport.
In a chevrolet.
Oh my my, oh mercy me.
Its a freeze out tonight.
Oh my my, oh golly gee.
Him and me, we alright.
Me and theo
We never fight.
Taking it easy, getting it right.
I'm a princess, he's a pea.
Anywhere we stay.
Me and theo.
We've got a band.
It's a trio.
We're down a man.
Two-timing on the high notes
Down in santa fe.
Chorus

Badway
03:42
|
|||
I get by on chainsmoke, horseflys and plain clothes.
I kicked a can of artichokes.
I keep my lip on the tip of my nose cause its-
Love in a badway.
I took the bottle and i shook it up.
Tipped it over in a broken cup.
I put some olives on some rabbit ears.
I made a habit out of drinking tears cause it's-
Love in a badway.
I been kicking on your door but you don't want me round no more.
We've been falling, down we go,
Like slow motion dominoes.
I must have slept all summer long.
The sheets are cold and the leaves are gone.
About as lonesome as a cowboy song. What's to save you when it's all gone wrong?
It's love in a badway.
There's a whisper in the willow tree. Sweet and nothing, but it ain't for me. It's a mean old world and it's built for two when you want somebody who don't want you.
Love in a badway.

Tore My Whole World Down
03:16
|
|||
Perhaps some day
With the memory of this
Far away
You’ll face the sun
And you’ll know
I was the one
I told a lie that no one
Should believe
I made you cry
That’s when you said
I should leave
We had our fun
But it never lasted
I was the one
Who tore,
tore my whole world down
I can’t complain
If you find love again
I am the one
Who must learn
To take another turn
I looked a fool
For all the world to see
It has a way
Of always catching up with me
We had our fun
But it never lasted
I guess I was the one
Who tore,
Who tore my whole world down
Down
All the way down
Down, down, down, down
All the way down
I made a...
I made a fool of myself
I didn’t hurt nobody else
We had our fun
But it never lasted
I guess I was the one
Who tore
Tore my whole world down
Tore it Down
I tore it down
ooh down, yeah
All the way down

Tell Me Your Name
02:57
|
|||
When i hold you in my arms, wild desire, hearts afire, five alarm.
When you whispered that you love me, oh my heart n soul go flying high above me.
I could stumble, i could fall,
At the thought of you.
When i saw ya, passing by, i had had never seen a dream to come to life.
When you looked my way i was terrified. What a lightning striking sight I cant abide.
I could melt, i could die,
At the thought of you.
Leaning on my shoulder.
Strangers to a heart that beats the same.
So baby tell me your name.
When i asked you for a dance, well you must have known this fool could take a chance.
When you smiled i went wild.
The day i met you down on angels ave.
I could flip, i could faint,
At the thought of you.
Leaning on my should.
Strangers to a heart that beats the same.
So baby tell me your name.

Past Life Woman
03:06
|
|||
Tumbling like a rolling stone
Through a string of days
With a face so long
And a hungering
Just to be alone
That's when a past life woman
Came into his mind
Looking for a train
Or a telephone
Somewhere in the night
Stood a happy home
Where he he could’ve been
All along
Past life woman
Came into his mind
She’s on a parallel reality
She might be loving someone else
But then again it might be me
You know it could be me
From the very end
Until the very start
There’s the beating of
A hidden heart
And he’s wondering
yes he's wondering
If it leaves a mark
When a past life woman
Comes into his mind

Heartbroke Town
02:57
|
|||
Coming home to a heart broke town
where the seeds have all been sown.
Everybody wants to mend your wounds
but they’re tending to their own
I was standing in a crowded room
counting each and every breath
And we were doing what we always do
Yeah we were doing it to death
Everybody’s gotta cry some
I gotta heart, it weighs two tons
I said a prayer for my own son
And the curse of a loaded gun
Rolling into Minneapolis
Another troubled river town
The Mississippi frozen in its tracks
And shadows all around
Razor wire skirts an empty shell
And they know they’ve been betrayed
Some are gone and some are hanging on
To the promises we made
But everybody’s gotta cry some
I gotta heart, it weighs two tons
I said a prayer for my only son
And the curse of a loaded gun
You can hit the safeties
And you can melt’em down
But you can’t take back
What they’ve done to my heart broke town.
Heart broke town.
Yes my home is a heart broke town.
Everybody’s gotta cry some
Got a heart, it weighs two tons
I said a prayer for everyone
And I curse, I curse a loaded gun

All Summer
03:34
|
|||
Something coming over me.
I think im gonna make it alright.
All summer i was crying for you.
Everybody told me that this was gonna be allright.
All summer i was dying for you.
Sure enough, by and by.
The lights are coming on inside.
Just as i was burning out the fires returning to me now.
Departed hearted broke in two.
I never thought ide see the day, all summer, ide get over you.
I boarded it up and wrote it off.
Never thought ide get another chance, all summer, without you.
Chorus
The waters flowing over me.
I cant stop it now.
It's under the bridge.
Your just another memory that hasn't got a hold on me, all summer.
Way back when.
Chorus.

Pictures
03:04
|
|||
I woke up thinking bout the night
you left me rocking on my heels
I didn’t understand then
I don’t guess I ever will
They say that time will tell
But it won’t tell me everything
I need to know
Some day my eyes may see the truth
Instead of minutes
In a photo booth
Pictures of me and you
Ooh ooh oooh
I'm lookin at pictures of you and me
You had me climbing up a wall
Harder than your head
They said you’d take it all the way
But here we are instead
It’s just a photograph
That’s why we never laugh
Like we used to do
There must be something deep inside
Cause something’s are easier to hide
In pictures of me and you
Ooh ooh ooh
I’m looking at pictures of you and me
It’s only a picture in a photograph
It’s only a picture in a photograph
Well, it’s only a picture
It’s only a picture
A picture of me and you
I'm lookin at picture of you and me
Pictures of me and you
Ooh ooh ooh
I’m looking at pictures
Of you and me
Dedicated to the memory of King Louie Bankston

My Kind Of Party
03:41
|
|||
Nobody’s going home
I nearly cracked my dome
When I slipped in something
On the dance floor
Hey sister have you heard?
Early morning’s for the birds
And my worm, it is floating in the bottom of a bottle
Bottle!
I put the lipstick on my nose
Dressing up in dots and bows
Hide the liquor in the stove
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's laughing
That's my kind of party
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's laughing
My kind of party

She's The Boss
04:07
|
|||
I helped her with the words
And she helped me
To read the signs
Nearly killing me in jest
Half a dozen times
Well you may not pass her time
If you don’t know what you’re saying
Any clown can do that
Some are leaving, some are staying
But she’s the boss
All the way back home
The first time that I saw her
She put her fist into my chest
But that was just a confirmation
That she liked me the best
Well you may not pass her time
If you don’t know what you’re saying
Any clown can do that
Some are leaving, some are staying
But she’s the boss
All the way back home
And now when I think of her
I don’t think of calamity
Still the road without her
That ain’t no place I wanna be
Well you may not pass her time
If you don’t know what you’re saying
Any clown can do that
Some are leaving, some are staying
But she’s the boss
All the way back home
All the way back home
All the way back home
All the way back home
Dedicated to the memory of Rachel Nagy
