The Procession went smoothly
The lights low and dim
and i raised my clear glass and i toast times to heaven
but your not the same that love that i used to know
well i'll break this guitar and bored up these windows
just too make sure they know, that i wont return

with my bloody lips and your broken arms
we'll turn into one, we'll sing the same song
with my sinking feet and your heavey heart
now dont you start, no dont you start, this again

this house screams of memories
and half written songs
with the chance of completion depending on love
this disconnected phone, well it is so long to speak
although when it does its so harsh and complete

with my bloody lips and your broken arms
we'll turn into one, we'll sing this same song
with my sinking feet and your heavey heart
now dont you starkt now dont you start...

no dont you start, dont you start...[2x]

Well I swear I tried again, your never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to do what you can't afford to do
You better watch your tone. Your not invisible you know
I'll do what I gotta do to stop the sound coming

Cause the truth is you're probably not as bad as I make you out to be
To the boys and the girls, that will listen closely. No
I'm the one that is happy. You can write the coolest songs
I was wrong. Yeah I'm always wrong.

And my God what do we have here.
I've been trying hard and you've been dying hard for years now

Well I swear I did it all
I'll always be my best flaw.

Please just pick up the phone, am I invincible, you know
I'll do what I've gotta do to stop the sound coming

Cause the truth is you're probably not as bad as I thought that you were being
To the boys and myself, we're just tired of listening. No
I'm the one that is sorry. Help me write the coolest songs
You were wrong. Yeah you're always wrong.

Cause the truth is that no one, truly knows what the hell it is you're doing
When we ask are you dead or are you just sleeping Oh yeah
I'm the one that is happy. I don't like your shitty songs
You were wrong, yeah you're always wrong

She's in the corner dealing the cards
She looks around a round
And slowly puts her poker face on
She's such a tease, a tease
Is just about the one thing she knows
The only way to get the certain thing she already owns
You know she always gets him
Somehow by the way that she moves
Is how she's reaching the goal
The goal is finally scored scored
But she is never alone
She looks again at her watch
Watch her as she will pretend
That she is harmless and nice
...

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her no, no
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her no, no

She's baffled but she swears she's secure
The insecurity has gone and gotten the best of her
The best is yet to come
We know just how this story will end
We know about the drinks, the smokes, and half-an-hour boyfriends
You think they really love you.
Loving in this case is the cure,
The cure is never really present when you're speaking with her
It's really getting to wrong and I am missing the note
The note is C flat not G sharp
She's sharp and yet she don't know
She's sinking to the bottom

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her no, no
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her no, no

Staring at a form that bleeds
This scene is dark and dreary
Tears are overflowing the mea-
ning of the ordinary
Girl that she once knew that she was
She wasn't ordinary,
Special was the meaning of course
How they would describe her

Tells the boys that this is the end
The end is come closer
Look now she is ready to go
Let's go take lots of pictures
Maybe time will tell in the end
The end is something that will
End up being quiet permanent
My god, does no one love you?

You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
Oh, oh
You're slow to learn
That you can't win with her
You're slow to learn
That you can't win, win, her.

In a car on the driveway
The conversation's colors paint themselves on canvas
White lies and motivation were standing out so honestly
I'm surprised it didn't hurt your eyes
I think that 'I' is the only word in your vocabulary tonight
Those same brown eyes stare straight ahead
And I shut my hand in your door
And I looked around, for a lifeline

Well I would rather have a broken arm
Than have my arms around you
Well I would rather have a broken arm
Than have my arms around you

It took a minute or two to gather all of my neurotic thoughts
Before I started to talk way to loud, loudly I thought to myself
God, how do I find myself here again and again?
My same black eyes stared straight ahead
As I took my time with a cigarette
There, enough, I'm still in love with the false hope of us
Stabbed inside my chest
Let me tell you, all about it.

Because I would rather have a punctured lung
Than waste my breath on you
Because I would rather have a punctured lung
Than waste my breath on you

Although, my dear:

I would rather have a broken heart
Than give up hope on you
Well I would rather have a broken heart
Than give up hope on you

We've got all the time that we need.

You lift your skinny fists up in the sky
Pack a change of clothes and left in the middle of july 2005
When the glass it hit the wall, the mother cried and the cops were called
The day, you said, goodbye

Your father left his work by 1 or 2
To a crying telephone, his wife was on the other side of you
Really did it this time, the lord looks down and begins to cry
They day, you said, goodbye

And i know, you've been abandoned
Dont abandon ship on me
Just know, like winter white snow
You've been forgiven, come back to me
I know right now
That dont mean anything

Your skinny legs bounced up into the sky
I tried to tell you to be careful not to jump that high
With your fingers crossed you fall, against the ground i saw it all
The day, you tried, to fly

When the red and blue lights made the scene
Your eyes were glazed and honestly can you remember anything
When the others ran away, I prayed to god they wouldn't stay
But sometimes he doesnt listen

From a father, to his daughter
My prodigal child, come back to me
From sinner, to his maker
Your prodigal son, is on his knees
Sweet god, please hold on to me
Sweet god, hold her please, oh please
The day, she tried, to fly

Hold me, the day i try to fly

Seen a lot of people come through New Orleans
Get down in the Easy for a change of scene
Now the word is out all over this old town
The big town party's coming, we gonna throw one down

Must be the water
Mississippi River is alive
Must be New Orleans
More than just an alligator bite

Known around the world for the crawfish meat
Got everybody jammin' to the Creole beat
Coming far and wide just to see the show
Just rockin' on the Bayou, so let everybody know

Gotta be the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Down in New Orleans
Swamp water make me lose my mind

No matter where you from, you ain't seen nothing yet
'Til you come around, party down in Lafayette
My brother serve you up with that etouffee
Just ask for any Broussard if you come this way

Gotta be the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Must be New Orleans
Swamp water make you lose your mind

No matter if you fly here, drive here, come in on a train
Guarantee that when you leave you won't be the same
If the ladies don't get you, then the hospitality will
If anybody asks then you can say for real

Something in the water
Make you play all day, jam all night
Come on, jump on in, you know the water's fine

C'mon everybody sing
(it's a party jam session)

I know I might look like just a regular guy
Look a little deeper and you might be surprised
Rough around the edges like the cuff of my jeans
Stay a little longer and you'll see what I mean

How you know I'm not the one
Supposed to keep you warm at night
You came in with Mr. Wrong
You can leave with Mr. Right

Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Love to meet your momma just to see for myself
She must be a special lady 'cause she raised you well
Love to meet your daddy, maybe shake his hand
Look him in the eye to let him know I'm a man

I can
be your confidante
Be everything you want
Be the one you trust
All you've got to do is just

Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Say you searched the seven seas
North, south, west and east
But I bet you've never seen the likes of me
Noooo

Girl your search is over
You're lookin at your four-leaf clover
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Baby please

Try me
Come on
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Try me
Try me
'Cause I might be
Just the thing you need

Everything you wanted
And you won't be disappointed
If you
Try me
Come on
Try me

Come on try me baby
Everything you wanted
Won't be disappointed
Try me

The levee's gonna break, the water's so high
And they're tryin' to make me move
It's been rainin' 6 days and 14 nights
I got way too much to lose

I built this house with my daddy's hands
My first boy was born inside
I promised my momma I would be a man
I ain't leavin' here tonight

City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone you know

Hey listen now
Dirty ass water, water everywhere
And not a drop to drink
I went to cast my vote but the poll was closed
And then the city just started to sink

I wonder if they'll find us in a thousand years
And say who let this go down
The river rose up on a trillion tears
And washed the poor folks out of town

City's on fire
Under water
Mothers and fathers
Sons and daughters

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone

I reached out my hand
But you did not notice
It's ok, I understand
Lord knows these times are hard

Just know that I am here
If you need assurance
I have made my choice
And the Lord will hear my voice

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
River pushed me down, but I ain't ready to go

I am someone you know
Never thought I'd have to come and knock on your door
I am someone you know
Spending all my money on the president's war

Freedom isn't free
Especially when you're broke
Take me by the hand
I can't take it no more

Trying to get a job
There ain't no jobs around
Trying to feed my family
On this change I found

There's the Govorner's house
Looks so good on the hill
You got to stand in line
Got to get your fill

Swear I heard one man, one vote
Sure as hell ain't all she wrote
I got bills and they're all late
I'm still waitin' on the state

Oooooh
I am someone you know

This living's killing me
Scaring me to death
Somehow the stage has become
The source of our distress

Right now it's where I belong
And right now I'm gone to stay
There's too much sunshine when I'm away
I don't want to go home
It's gettin' harder every day

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

This screaming is killing me
We both are out of breath
It was hard waving goodbye
With the strength that I had left

Out there is where I belong
On the road so far from home
There ain't no sunshine since you've been gone
I want to feel you in my arms tonight
But all I feel tonight is alone

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Oooohhhh

Some folks say I'm wrong
Maybe I am
So what if I am

Doesn't change a thing
The fight in us would stay the same
And I'd still want to run away

'Cause baby it's over now
Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Baby it's over now
All the lonely times
All the tears you've cried
Those Louisiana nights
Baby it's over now

Have you ever woke up in the morning
With an alligator sitting on your steps
Chop 'em up, throw 'em in a soup
Make some shoes with whatever you got left

Have you ever worked 24/7 in a row
All you wanna do is rest your head
Got my tailor-made suit and my alligator shoes
W'ere going out and paint the town in red

Y'all aint ready

Hey

There once was a boy
From way down south
Five strings sittin' on a guitar
Everybody tried to tell that boy
Son, you aint gonna get far

Five years later on a Saturday night
Got everybody standin' in that line
Same five stings on the same guitar
Aint no point in changin' 'em now

Y'all aint ready
(Y'all aint ready)
Y'all aint ready

Everybody in the house tonight
The bass and the drums and the groove is tight
And there aint no stoppin' 'til we get it right
Y'all aint ready
