Setting Son

Won’t ask, can’t you tell?
This place is a living hell, turn your back on everything
Don’t ask, I won’t tell
Hurt the ones you love, don’t rebel
Paint your faith on everyone, give birth to a setting son
Don’t you want me to see this through?
Don’t you want my blacks and blues?
Say you want me
Don’t you want me to see this through?
Don’t you want my blacks and blues?
Say you want me
Don't you want me?
Count your blessings, you count the stars
Count your money, you count your scars
This one goes out to those who work to die as life unfolds
Don’t you want me to see this through?
Don’t you want my blacks and blues?
Say you want me
Don’t you want me to see this through?
Don’t you want my blacks and blues?
Say you want me
Don't you want me?
Don’t you want me to see this through?
Don’t you want my blacks and blues?
Say you want me
Don't you want me, say you want me
Don't you want me, say you want me
Say you want me
Don't you want me?
Count your blessings, you count the stars
Count your money now

I Get What You Give

I’ve got friends I’ve never met
People ‘round the country are giving me the bends
They say things they don’t mean
Cause we’re all stuck in this game, musical food chain
Good things come to those who wait
Got caught in the rain, leave me out to dry
Martyred on the inside, too broke up to cry
I’ll be left to hang if it’s all the same to you
Keep me in your pocket and I’ll salivate for truth
Good things come to those who wait
Good things come to those who wait on tables
Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs
I’ve got friends I’ve never met
Careful what you say boy, don’t bite the hand that mends
Good things come to those who wait
Good things come to those who wait on tables
Hey man, maybe it won’t be long, until they all sing your songs

Middle of the Night
02:57

So far gone with a little overbite, it’s got me thinking for two
Breaking out in the middle of the night, the streets are chasing the spirits like you
So, so long middle of the night
Got up just to come back down
Breaking out in the middle of the night
What’s lost can’t always be found
Your head’s wrong if you’re thinking that it’s right
Don’t remember your eyes being so blue
Speaking in tongues it’s not right…
The streets are chasing the spirits like you
So, so long middle of the night
Got up just to come back down
Breaking out in the middle of the night
What’s lost can’t always be found
The truth will set you free
So, so long middle of the night
Got up just to come back down
Breaking out in the middle of the night
What’s lost can’t always be found

And Everybody Knows It
03:50

Got stuck in the mirror, making eyes with my superiors
Thought about joining the national army
Daydreamed blue-jeaned Elvis Presleys shaking their fists at me
Thought no, I’m too young and killing’s not for me
Cracked the mirror from smiling, I’m not me, I’m inferior
Thought about joining the police department
Nightmare tweed jacket Clint Eastwoods shaking hands with me
Thought, no…
And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow
Got caught in reflection, wide-eyed I still can’t get them
Thought about jumping ship, head for the arctic
Daydreamed killer icebergs drowning me
Thought no, I hate the cold and I’m already passed living
And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow
What you know?
Touched my face 1,000 times, hoping someone would take me home
And love me decently; lay me down upon the floor
She turned me on and then she turned on me
Got stuck in the mirror - got stuck, got stuck
And everybody knows it, you reap what you sow
What you know?

Shook Our Bones
03:42
|

When I was young I didn’t know why, I wore my heart on my sleeve
When I was just a little boy, I was in love with you, I was in love with you
Remember when youth shook our bones?
Age came upon us like an ancient plague
It was the second coming of you, guess all the rumors were true
You were the judge, I rested my case
But the jury they hung around, they kept the faith
Remember when youth shook our bones?
Remember when!
Remember when youth shook our bones?
Youth shook our bones all night long…

You Shall Not Want

Southern cross on a Northern tomb
Same one from under that harvest moon
I never wanted anything
Spilled her guts, now she wants me to clean 'em up
She's my Lord, my Saviour, I drink from that cup
I never wanted anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything that was meant for you
Don't be a fool, just show your teeth and make 'em bleed
You shall not want anything
Blackout drunk and so depressed
Your stolen youth's in a summer dress
I never wanted anything
I'll take what's mine, if you leave what's yours
You can't go around blocking open doors
I never wanted anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything that was meant for you
Don't be a fool, just show your teeth and make 'em bleed
You shall, You shall, You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything
You shall not want anything
