I wonder what its like to be a rain maker
I wonder what its like to know I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone
and you can come and see them when I'm ....... done
when I'm done
I wonder what its like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
from some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
boy i bet my friends will all be ........ stunned
they're stunned
strait up, what did u hope to learn about here
if i was sombody else, would this all fall apart
strange, where were you, when we al started this gig
I wish this real world would just stop hassling me
I wonder what its like ti be the head honcho
I wonder what i'd do if they all just did what i say
I'd shout out an order
I think we're out of this man get me some
boy dont make me wanna change my ....... tone my
strait up, what did u hope to learn about here
if i was sombody else, would this all fall apart
strange, where were you, when we al started this gig
I wish this real world would just stop hassling me
please dont change
please dont break
the only thing that seems to work at all is you
to you
and you to me
strait up, what did u hope to learn about here
if i was sombody else, would this all fall apart
strange, where were you, when we al started this gig
I wish this real world would just stop hassling me

It's sitting by the overcoat,
The second shelf, the note she wrote
That I can't bring myself to throw away
And also
Reach she said for no one else but you,
Cuz you won't turn away
When someone else is gone
I'm sorry about the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you
But no one else would take this shit from me
And I'm so
Terrified of no one else but me
I'm here all the time
I won't go away
It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away
It's me, and I can't get myself to go away
Oh god I shouldn't feel this way
reach down your hand in your pocket
pull out some hope for me
it's been a long day, always ain't that right
and no lord your hand won't stop it
just keep you trembling
its been a long day, always ain't that right
well I'm surprised that you'd believe
in any thing that comes from me
I didn't hear from you or from someone else
And you're so
Set in life man, a pisser they're waiting
Too damn bad you get so far so fast
So what, so long
reach down your hand in your pocket
pull out some hope for me
it's been a long day, always ain't that right
and no lord your hand won't stop it
just keep you trembling
its been a long day, always ain't that right
it's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
it's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away
oh God I shouldn't feel this way
reach down your hand in your pocket
pull out some hope for me
it's been a long day, always ain't that right
and no lord your hand won't stop it
just keep you trembling
its been a long day, always ain't that right

she says its cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
she's always worried about things like that
she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
and she only sleeps when it's raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
she says baby
its 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it
she's got a little bit of something
God it's better than nothing
and in her color portrait world she believes she got it all
she swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when its raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
she says baby
its 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it
she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days
she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
but outside it's stopped raining
she says baby
its 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain's gonna wash away I believe it
| | | | | | | | Push | | | |
she said I don't know if I've ever been good enough
I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
and I don't know if I've ever been really loved
by a hand thats touched me, well I feel like something's
gonna give
and I'm a little bit angry, well
this ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you
around
you don't owe me, we might change
yeah we just might feel good
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will
she said I don't know why you would ever lie to me
like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
gonna hurt ya
and I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me
you couldn't stand to be near me
when my face don't seem to want to shine
cuz it's a little bit dirty
don't just stand there, say nice things to me
I've been cheated I've been wronged, and you
you don't know me, I can't change
I won't do anything at all
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will
oh but don't bowl me over
just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
crazy, crazy
don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted
I will
| | | | | | | | Back 2 Good | | | |
it's nothing, it's so normal you
just stand there I could say so much
but I don't go there cuz I don't want to
I was thinking if you were lonely
maybe we could leave here and no one would know
at least not to the point that we would think so
everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking about
somebody else
it's best if we all keep it under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
but I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
to get it back to good
this don't mean that, you owe me
this ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
but things worked out just like you wanted too
if you see me out you don't know me
try to turn your head, try to give me some room
to figure out just what I'm going to do
and everyone here, hates everyone for doing just like
they do
it's best if we all keep this quiet instead
and I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
they do
but I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
to get it back to good
everyone here, is wondering what it's like to be with
somebody else
everyone here's to blame, everyone here
gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain, everyone hides
shades off shame, but looking inside w're the same, we're the same
and we're all grown now, but we don't know how to get it back to good
everyone here is thinking 'bout
somebody else
it's best if we all keep this under our heads
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
but it's over now, and I don't know how, it's over now
there's no getting back to good
| | | | | | | | Girls Like That | | | |
You think this life would make me bolder
but I'm running scared is all
I hang on everything about you
you think I'd settle down cuz I'm older
but I roll with the change is all
I'm same all trailer trash in new shoes
She gets sad when there's nothing going on
she says it makes her feel damn worthless
Well you got to think with a girl like that
any love at all is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
I put my hands around your shoulder
you're saying you're scared is all
I think I know too much about you
you think this life would make me colder
I'd give in to the alcohol
I put my loving arms around you, child
you knew damn well there was nothing going on
is that what makes you feel damn worthless
Well you got to think with a girl like that
any love at all is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
yeah, she drags you down and she pulls you up
she pulls you up
says that she's sorry now but it's not good enough
to pull you up
she's sorry
I wake up quick just like I want to
yeah but I stay out much too late
you think this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
down till the worth is gone
and she pulls you up, she pulls you up
she pulls you up and over, over
Well you got to think with a girl like that
any love at all is better than nothing
it's better than nothing
