hey other person
can i take some more of your time
cuz i got one more thing
to say before i die - suicide
you know i think that your opinion
matters twice as much as mine
and in the happiness tomorrow
i'll let you go first in line
when you wake up in the morning
and get your paper from the lawn
that's the last thing that you'll
hear from me i'm gone
let me explain
i will be voiceless
i will rid you of my tongue
and you will feel the burden
that i've carried for so long
let me explain
how to read your manifesto
how your songs they will be sung
why my opinion's not important
why i'm giving you my gun
when you wake up in the morning
and get your paper from the lawn
that's the last thing that you'll
hear from me i'm gone
let me explain
should i silence myself
despite all the gain?
should i give you my coat
despite all the rain?
the answer is obvious
let me clear my name
maybe after all of this
i'll save the day
let me explain
i wrote myself a postcard to pat you on the back
and i mailed it to myself saying, "sorry"
so what if my perspective doesn't matter anymore
i can still pass the time with my delusions
let me explain

i wouldnt call myself a smoker
thought about u in my cigarette
a wistful listlessness surrounds me
inhaling my old regrets
i swear i can taste u thru the filter
a paper trail leading me back
my mama said son mind ur body
and dont u smoke not one more pack
dont take me for dead
i remember what u said
but i was young and i was afraid of being alone
dont take me for dead
i still remember what u said
but now im older and i am all thru with gnawing ur bones
dont u dare call me a quitter
ill see this thru if it takes me down
i promise u im not an addict
it just feels better breathing out
and when my breathlessness consumes me
and i cant tell what brought it on
well then im glad im not a smoker
take my drag and move along
dont take me for dead
i remember what u said
but i was young and i was afraid of being alone
dont take me for dead
i still remember what u said
but now im older and i am all thru with gnawing ur bones

jessie, you're not the one that should be mad
i'm the one that's in trouble now
hop on my back and i'll take you for a ride
or would you take me
back to the river's edge
where the morning sun rises early and misty and warm
like my love, my nectarine
but in the morning i'll be gone like gold in the river
but then again maybe i was never there
will you be my horse in the night?
it's funny the way you ride
across the waves like trains through tennessee
it's funny the way i show up
with a bottle for two although i'm nowhere near
and we'll ride until the dawn and then i'm gone
just as softly as the silent record spins
and when you're feet touch the cold morning dew
you'll sigh cuz you thought your dream might never end
will you be my horse in the night?
well, how'd that bottle get here?
will you be my horse in the night?
maybe i was never there
will you be my horse in the night?
what's that record i hear?
will you be my horse in the night?
maybe, baby, i woke up this morning
with my head in the same lost place that i laid it last night
but i swear i can still taste some liquor
and the sweetest kiss from your lips babe
did you ride to me in the night?
did i ride you till the dawn?
i can hear our record baby
i can hear our song
did you ride to me in the night?
did i ride you till the dawn?
baby are you there?
babe am i still gone?
will you be my horse in the night?

we dont hardly make a sound
telling lies with your tired eyes
as if the other five are not around

youre
mine

don't you let it go down nice
don't let him get away without a fight
don't let him get away with snaking out on you last night
when you get out of school
i hope that you leave town
and run far away
find yourself
but maybe that
just ain't a thing
anymore
you're just the same as before
and you'll find yourself
back outside his door
crying
boyfriend girl
you're a boyfriend girl
don't you let it go down nice
don't let him get away without a fight
don't let him get away with snaking out on you last night

was it something i said
that night on the road
was it stuck in your head
like a knife through the throat
what can i do
what can i say
if i lose you
i lost my way
i'm haggard and torn
she whispered to me
i'm lost and forlorn
why can't you see
what can i do
what can i say
if i lose you
i lost my way
