Standing on the ground Looking to the sky you ask yourself Which way will my soul fly? Old, old and gray The people once you thought were right are wrong today Chorus Bleeding In company you keep Needing Nothing more than lots of sleep The dice you roll The cards you lay The dice you roll The cards you play Standing on the shore Waiting for your ship to come in Strange how all true sailors have no home Manipulate the wind Righting all your wrongs you come to find Another ending from where now you must begin Chorus Send me back in time Paint me in a cave Put me in a world where there's nothing I must save 'cause I won't choose One to win or and one to lose I won't choose one to win or and one lose

There's a broken sign That marks the city line Where the black paved road turns to dirt and sand There's a burning tree Down by the city green sea Why they keep it lit I still don't understand You say you want a destination Where nothing is what it seems? City Green We got gardens Filled with potted life Our minds are all we can afford To sacrifice Set it all a flame And see if it feels the same Coming down You want a destination Where nothing is what it seems? City Green We got a fast way For you to slow down You'll read between the lines Step beyond the ground You say you still feel unaware I guess you never been there You got burned You want a destination Where nothing is what it seems? City Green

Years keep rolling by me Sometimes you see what you want to see I had a job and lost it On a day like any other day it would seem All the tine I was running round Felt pretty good like the smell of wood Burning at a camp fire All right Each and every night I’d go out on the town Throw it all around Now I’m gonna leave I want out Of the money drought Out of the money drought I want out Some folks live how they want to live Some live to get by Some folks hold their head to the ground Some hold their head to the sky Some will take donations Some will rob you blind Some will trade away their souls Some just trade their time Now I want to leave I want out Of the money drought When I was young and fancy free all you needed was love Love and a stereo That's all you'd ever need and I believe I believe in the hippy - like I believe I believe in the government - I believe I believe in the wars The wars fought on TV - yes I believe I believe in the rain dance Like I believe in the weatherman I believe that make believe is going to be here after me So I want to leave I want out of the money drought If I stay here long enough Will things just come to me I don’t want to have to steal it no more I don’t want to have to borrow it no more I don’t want to have to pray for it Why can’t some things just be they way I want them to be Money can’t by happiness It pays for everything else You’re never gonna know just who’s it is until you pay for it yourself I don’t want to sound greedy I’m just tired of being broke I may not ever afford a home But I can afford this toke Lord I’m gonna get high Higher than the rich man ever can Higher than the poor man ever can Higher than most any man That’ the way its gonna be until I find my way Find my way out Of the Money Drought

Billy Take The Long Way Words and Music by David Grossman They found him lying out behind the arcade The boys back home say his girlfriend's getting laid On the day he got out he hitched a ride Mud of the road stained his coat on one side The boy's never been around Now he's on the wrong side of town Chorus Billy take the long way Take the long way home Karma patrol has got him on the run He never pulled a trigger Never hurt no one But the man's got his name on a list somewhere Right next to a finger printed proofed I.D. Highway patrol say he's a dangerous ride They got his number on their breath machine His mother says he's stupid - his sister says he's mean And the deputy attorney wants the boy to come clean Chorus You catch a bird in the air with a bee bee gun Catch a train for a ride but boy you got to run Catch a buzz from a bottle on a cold cold night Catch a cab catch a storm or a midnight flight When the telephone rings in your hotel room On your last dollar bill Check out time is high noon

Waiting For The Yard Chorus Waiting for the yard boys waiting for the yard You roll a smoke you take a toke get yelled at by the guard Spend your time talking 'bout the time you got to spend And you go to bed full of dread the next day is 'round the bend Jake he's in for dealing Doug for snorting blow The weird on in the corner they say he's a cho mo Dan was driving drunk, Burt he smokes cocaine But one thing that's for certain everyone was framed .. Chorus Bret he likes to porter, Jesus he likes to draw Ben he was a fire man until he broke he the law Tony's in for murder the jury found him sane One thing that's for certain everyone was framed.. Chorus Billy's in for ten Mikey's in for life Phil he's got 100 naked pictures of his wife Every story is different yet each one ends the same Nobody is guilty Everyone was framed... Chorus

Last Call Words and Music by David Shepherd Grossman c 1990 / 2000 She tended the bar he attended Serving those drinks with umbrellas Hiding the heart she'd mended Somewhere inside her eyes Chorus And it's another last call Another night smashed up against the wall Another last call, last call, last call, that's all Watching the lights through the window Staying as everyone leaves She said, "You really should go." But he found her hard to believe Chorus Turning the music up louder Sweeping the smoke from the floor As he turned to go She offered him one more Wiping the words from the table Throwing out all but the one's that sound good They'd love, if they were able, Each one thinking that the other one could Two cars roll out in the distance Headlights heading out separate ways Chorus

Government Problem Words and Music by David Grossman ã 2000 There’s no food to eat No peace We say it’s a government problem They starve they die and we say...Its a government problem I take the whisky leave the water I get in my car and drive Scared in the new world order They take you away And keep you alive (Chorus) I got me a government problem We vote They win We say It’s a government problem Less laws less crime Less chance of a government problem I drink a beer in the backseat See the men hear the sirens There another car gets stolen Here - no victim no crime Chorus

Born in an apartment 
Raised up in a house 
 When I was small I figured that was what life was about 
 Get yourself a job, a mortgage and a wife 
 Have a couple kids and you'll be set for life 
 My brother did 
my sister did 
my cousin did 
 But I'm out on the road 
 Every day and every night 
 No place I got to go 
 Laying low living light 
 Nothing else has worked 
 Nothing else has felt so right 
 Caaaarrr Living To hell with all the rest this license plate is my address 
I'll be heading out in the morning 
Caarrr Living 
 Everything's in back - pillow and road map 
Ice chest and a spare - there ain't no room back there 
 Pulled off at a truck stop along the interstate 
 Gotta get some gas and crash 
Before it gets too late 
 Gotta get up early gotta job in the next town 
I don't need much money just enough to get around 
But my brother does 
 My sister does 
My cousin does 
But I'm out on the road 
Every day and every night 
No place I got to go 
 Laying low living light 
Nothing else has worked 
 Nothing else has felt so right 
Caaaarrr Livng 
To hell with all the rest this license plate is my address 
 I'll be heading out in the morning 
 Caarrr Living 
 With a lap top and cell phone this ain't no rental- I own 
Every town is different Every town's the same 
 Dairy Queens and Wall Marts boarded by different names 
It used to bring me down 
Used to break my heart 
Then I realized all I need is 
Someplace to park 
 But I'm out on the road 
Every day and every night 
No place I got to go 
 Laying low living light 
Nothing else has worked 
Nothing else has felt so right 
 Caaaarrr Living 
 What street am I on? 
It don't matter much 
I'm gone 
In the morning

Leaves 04:43 video
Sure is late I best be getting home soon But I love it out here with the full moon Shining on the pond Chorus Crickets sing through the weeping willow tree Fire flies dance against the night I can hear my name blowing 'round the leaves I wonder if I'll be alright There's a lost Indian Walking downtown Looking for the land he lost Don't he know he's got it found Chorus No one ever said that as you grow up You have to grow apart No one ever told me that Everyone looks alone Chorus
