You laughed as I walked outside You laughed as I cried and cried and cried and cried You laughed as I walked outside the door You were laughing cause I said I won't wait to take any more No! You watched me as I walked down that desolation street We looked at each other But our faces never did meet And I said "I never asked for nothing" And then one day Six years later I was woken up by a long distance operator She asked if it could be me and you I just laughed at her and I said "No way that we can do." Uh-uh She's rolling She's was moving in my vicinity I said "I don't care" "I don't care" "Cause it can never be you and me" And I said "I never asked for nothing"Back

He left his house; he should have stayed He went to work so he'd get paid So he'd afford his brand new maid Other things that make life great He hopped a bus and then a train Few more stops he'd have it made But something happened on this day That put this man into his grave The train broke down he took a cab He told the man to make it fast They ran into a concrete slab Then cries and screams [?] He left the cab, walked down the street There a person he did meet Who thought his gun was pretty neat And wanted to see someone bleed Stumbling on for two more blocks His body was in total shock Punch in time was eight o'clock He's hours late, so he'd be docked Twenty feet from where he worked He fell upon some teenage jerks They took his cash then went berzerk And killed the poor old office clerk He should have stayed home x 15Back

I know someone who thinks he's right He can't stand it, he wants me to fight Bible in one hand, ready to strike Burning those records by candlelight Chorus: He's angry Out of his head Stop this music before we're all dead Full of rage Out of his mind Our youth culture is on the decline Sex and drugs are taking their toll Leading us closer to losing control Well you know and I know that ain't right Some of these people are really uptight I know someone who thinks I'm wrong Telling me I can't sing my song Singing and singing 'til the break of dawn You tell me if I'm doing this wrong Chorus

I split out of Reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds Didn't get to sleep last night 'till the morning came around. Still out front, gonna take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished into air. Still out front, gonna take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine, If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, The first one's named Sweet Emily, and she's my hearts delight. The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail, And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail. I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills Trying to find the devil, but I doubt I ever will Still out front, gonna take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight. Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night, The first one's named Sweet Emily, and she's my hearts delight. The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail, And if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail. Got a wife in Chino, babe, and and one's in Cherokee The first one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me. Still out front, gonna take my time A friend of the devil is a friend of mine If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.Back
Paisley - Alternate live lyrics
Open eyes conspire to reduce the point of view Closing windows opens doors inside of you Witnessing the sinking sun, I memorize Watching with indifference as the clouds collide If paisley could fly Estimating chances of a shared reality Closing down the corridors of possibilities If paisley could fly If paisley could fly If paisley could fly If paisley could flyBack
Here they come, and they fly with the power of the sun Here they come, and they're going to touch everyone Far, far, have they come Here they come, and the fire on their wings doesn't burn Here they come, and they know everything we must learn Round, round, we must turn Watch out, you, sinners Don't you know that your time has come? Watch out, you, winners It's the same for everyone Here they come, and the power of the gaze in their eyes Here they come, and the fear in their hearts starts to rise Down, down, then we all knowBack
How did I make this choice? Filling my heart up with rage. No one can hear my voice. The deafening shame Chorus: I lay my life on the line. I lost my soul to Bloodlines! How can you live this way? That's a good question. I'm walking between the pain Without redemption. Chorus What is it like to be hated Inside a world with no control over time? What is it like to be created Inside a world where life is a crime? Chorus x 2Back
