the answer came like a shot in the back while you were running from your lesson which might explain why years later all you could remember was the terror of the question plus, you weren't listening you were stockpiling canned goods making a bomb shelter of our basement and i can't believe you let the moral go by while you were soaking in the product placement

where was your conscience? where was your consciousness? and where did you put all those letters that you wrote to yourself but could not address?

i'm a good kisser and you're a fast learner and that kinda thing could float us for a pretty long time then one day you'd realize you've memorized my phone number and you'll call it and find it's a disconnected line cuz i got tossed out the window of love's el camino and i shattered into a shower of sparks on the curb you were smoking me weren't you? between your yellow fingers you just inhaled and exhaled without saying a word

where was your conscience? where was your consciousness? and where did you put all those letters that you wrote to yourself but could not address?

there's a smorgasbord of unspoken poisons a whole childhood of potions that are all bottled up and so one by one i am dusting off labels i am uncorking bottles and filling up cups so go ahead and have a taste of your own medicine and i'll have a taste of mine but first let's toast to the lists that we hold in our fists of the things that we promise to do differently next time

cuz the answer came like a shot in the back while you were running from your lesson which might explain why years later all you could remember was the terror of the question plus i'm not listening to you anymore my head is too sore and my heart's perforated and i'm mired in the marrow of my (well... ain't that) funny bone learning how to be alone and devastated where was my conscience? where was my consciousness? and what do i do with all these letters that i wrote to myself but cannot address?

We hear you're leaving, that's OK I thought our little wild time had just begun, I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run But if you have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number; You don't wanna call nobody else. Send it off in a letter to yourself. Rikki don't lose that number; It's the only one you own. You might use it if you feel better, When you get home.

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name. We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row We could stay inside and play games I don't know And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number; You don't wanna call nobody else. Send it off in a letter to yourself. Rikki don't lose that number; It's the only one you own. You might use it if you feel better, When you get home.

(Lead break)

You tell yourself you're not my kind But you don't even know your mind. And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don't lose that number; You don't wanna call nobody else. Send it off in a letter to yourself. Rikki don't lose that number; It's the only one you own. You might use it if you feel better, When you get home.

Rikki don't lose that number (Rikki don't lose that number) Rikki don't lose that number

Two hearts fading, like a flower. And all this waiting, for the power. For some answer, to this fire. Sinking slowly. The water’s higher. Desire

With no secrets. No obsession. This time I'm speeding with no direction. Without a reason. What is this fire? Burning slowly. My one and only. Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting. You just can't show me, but God I'm praying, That you'll find me, and that you'll see me, That you run and never tire. Desire

From the album "Demolition". Another must listen track is Dear Chicago:

"Dear Chicago, You'll never guess. You know the girl you said I'd meet someday? Well, I've got something to confess. She picked me up on Friday. Asked me if she reminded me of you. I just laughed and lit a cigarette, Said "that's impossible to do." My life's gotten simple since. And it fluctuates so much. Happy and sad and back again. I'm not crying out to much. Think about you all the time. It's strange and hard to deal. Think about you lying there."

Run buy this one!
