Why Buy 01:56
lyrics
buy track
I might not always be there for you to call me up in the middle of the night to tell me about some guy or how you failed your family you say you always let mom and dad down but i still have faith. I still have faith in you even though I can't stand some or all of your decisions the choices you make and I know I'm not the all saving grace that needed to take place but I'll sure give it one hell of a shot. I'm bored of your game. I'm bored of your game. Why buy the man when you get the love for free? Why buy the man when you get the love for free? Why buy the man when you get the love for free? Why buy the man when you get the love for free? I want it all....

how does it feel? how do you even feel? there is a shed of guilt shit on everything they built it's kind of what they expected it's kind of what they thought i guess there is a time and a place where those things may not mean what they seem it seemed to meant a lot more back when oh yeah! smile, shrug and play it cool i guess it's what they expected it's kind of what they bought it's kind of what they wanted it's kind of what they got smile, shrug and play it cool how does it feel? a pit of despair there is a shed of guilt and it cuts and it will heal but i'm sure it will scar it's kind of what they expected it's kind of what they thought it's kind of what they wanted it's kind of what they got smile, shrug and play it cool how does it feel? how does it feel? how does it feel? how does it feel?

she awaits for the words as i wait at the crosswalk wearing yesterday's pants. no mustard stains don't worry i checked. the flashing lights tells me its alright to cross. i look both ways. i look both ways as i cross. i look both ways as i cross. one day you'll come back. come back one day. one day you'll come back. and she prays to the cross and i pray that she'll come back one day. i look both ways as i cross. i look both ways as i cross. she prays to the cross. i pray that she'll come back come back to me. one day you'll come back. one day you'll come back. come back one day. come back one day. come back one day.

it feels as there has been a great weight lifted off my soul i've had a lot of time to assume the worst it feels so liberating. it's kind of like freeing monkeys from a zoo and yeah... the kangaroos...they can come too but the lions stay they are liars and the leopards will eat your face off the lions stay they are liars and i've had a lot of time to assume the worst i've had a lot of time to assume the worst but the lions stay they are liars and the leopards will eat your face the lions stay they are liars and the leopards will eat your face i've had a lot of time to assume the worst

Crowds 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Back on the bus I find a window seat and I pray that no one sits beside me the big wheels turning, the motor roaring, the lights dim back of the bus you can find me drinking from a bottle of rye in a passenger bathroom and I pray that no one finds me Back at the Greyhound station I make a beeline for the washroom stand in the stall to roll a joint and I pray that no one finds me I take a walk around the block and think that I should start talking to myself to prove that I'm crazier than everyone else and I can't face all the faces all the people I meet are creeps I know its my job but I feel odd I feel off Here at the venue I play songs for you and I pray that someone gets what I do the girls with the green eyes has a pretty smile too bad I will never know her name. I'm too nervous and weird with everything to prove you'd like me more if I had the guts and I could sell a million albums if I had the guts but I don't and thats what I'm just me I wonder if anyone is as lonely as me. I pray that someone finds me I can't face all the faces all the people I meet are creeps I know its my job but I feel odd I can't face all the faces all the people I meet are crowds I know its my job but I feel off I feel odd Back on the bus I find a window seat and I pray that no one sits beside me the big wheels turning, motor roaring, the lights dim and I shut my eyes
