Bury My Soul

Said I buried my soul in a mulberry bush didn't put it too deep just gave a little push
singin bout summer while I'm shoveling the snow I gotta shove a little bullshit just to get a little dough
Its the fiery and the fire dancing up the pretty liar with her heart made of diamonds and her fingers made of coal
Said I'll make a fence of words hide the fact that I don't know
Under that bush I'm gonna bury my soul
Under that bush I'm gonna bury my soul
Under that bush I'm gonna bury my soulx3
Said one day I'm gonna beat the rain
two eyes on my birth one foot in the grave
got a letter from the city askin "give me some change"
but my pockets on fire feelin good today
one thing baby that you should know I'm gonna swallow my pride and bury my soulx3
Eatin outta kitchens where the soup is for free
simmer to a boil gotta give it to me
gonna take the elevator to the office of the mayor gonna make him sign my papers and bury my soul
make him sign my papers and bury my soul
make him sign my papers and bury my soulx3
Now I gotta dire situation at hand
they givin me the jelly and I just wanna jam
Give me some strings and the drums for my hands and we can make this noise all over the land
kitchen gets too hot you got somewhere to go
baby will you come and help me bury my soul
baby will you come and help me bury my soul
baby will you come and help me bury my soulx3
save yourself a minute for the rest of your life by stompin out the ashes at the end of the night
and you could be the fireman if that's what you like
but you gotta hang your clothes up after fighting for the dawning of the light!
When you wake up singin
in the day Im bringin
A song called reality
its turning out too much for me
I gotta step back because you know I never want to be known
for my thoughts
I'll try and collect them all
but your closets too small to try and hold all them skeletons theres too many bones!
Take them all to me and we can bury our souls
Take them all to me and we can bury our souls
Take them all to me and we can bury our soulsx3

Ways We Handle

Ways we handle just what we can do
our lives are the same as the sun on the sea
don't you burn out all the light from your candle
you are the sun and I am the sea
you got the rhythm and I've got the beat
can't say now where the moon lays down because you are the sun and I am the sea
You can't listen but you can hear
your eyes can't see whats blocking your ears
senses are worthless when you're numb to the pain
but your heart gets lonely when you're using your brain
all of our thoughts are caught up in the clouds
sometimes they explode thats why the thunders so loud
sometimes our words get taken by the wind
they're blown out of proportion and they seem to condescend
takin a walk to the edge of your lips
what you're going to say is hanging from a cliff
the right ones in your left hand the wrong ones in you're right
both of them are hanging on to you for dear life
your body is a catalyst for all the things you do
try running with your mind and you'll be trying something new
now you know when the rain is making music in the drains it can jam to the beat of the blood in your veins
Ways we handle just what we can do
our lives are the same as the sun on the sea
don't you burn out all the light from your candle
you are the sun and I am the sea
you got the rhythm and I've got the beat
can't say now where the moon lays down because you are the sun and I am the sea
Sneakin out the back way
it's taking too long
now you can come in because you know thats you belong
bring it down slow because we're coming on strong
singing to a different tune but it's the same song
chip in your shoulder and a dip in your moves
smile when sad just to lighten up the mood
how come everybody doesn't do it like you
startin out the day with a fresh attitude
packin up my suitcase and I'm headed on a quest
to look for signs of life around the valley of the dead
I reach into my pocket and I'm pullin out some bait you know a dollar in your pocket keeps the bullshit away
Ways we handle just what we can do
our lives are the same as the sun on the sea
don't you burn out all the light from your candle
you are the sun and I am the sea
you got the rhythm and I've got the beat
can't say now where the moon lays down because you are the sun and I am the sea
The king abandoned his throne
he's headed to the coast
he's wrappin up his bones in dirty turniquets of ghosts
he waves goodbye to some but he says I'll be back to most
he jumped into the ocean but he never lost control
the water was his spirit when he never had a soul and his mind was an island where the wind blew cold
his body was rift where the water filled the hole but he died the day he realized he could never go home
Ways we handle just what we can do
our lives are the same as the sun on the sea
don't you burn out all the light from your candle
you are the sun and I am the sea
you got the rhythm and I've got the beat
can't say now where the moon lays down because
Ways we handle just what we can do
our lives are the same as the sun on the sea
don't you burn out all the light from your candle
you are the sun and I am the sea
you got the rhythm and I've got the beat
can't say now where the moon lays down because you are the sun and I am the sea

We'd kiss the planets if they were ten feet tall
put the calendar back up on the wall
never mind the fact, a fleeting chance,
or your drop-top ten toes helping you dance
I made a promise to a little girl that now I'd only stick to naturals
but I've got fifteen dollars and the clothes on my back now tell me what to do with that
Its just your imagination
thats making it seem like you're in a dream
and if you stop to wonder
than you might as well start all over again
Horseshoes, hand grenades, and common sense
if you cross the king you've got to deal with the prince
Do I Apologize to you? No
said I'll be right back, I'm going away
I've got a lot of shit I've got to deal with today
and I can't wait for the wind to blow
Then I told her to wait for me
I'm stuck on this empty string
but I'm at the top of everything
And if you stop to wonder
than you might as well start all over again

Where I left My heart
04:01
|

You said you would
hit the road wit me
just if you could
get the means to leave
we hit the 95
straight up to the north country
we split our own divide
between the concrete and the trees
don't ever look behind
till' you reach the county line
and finish what you start
I was so absent minded
the road is where I left my heart
now I can't see my town
through the rear view mirror
drivin into a cloud
seen bad days where its been much clearer
sleep in the corner of my eyes
virgin mary on his dashboard
if he thinks that it keeps him alive,well
thats one belief that I just can't afford
when you forget the first lesson you taught
you might have to buy something you've already bought, but..
what if you steal everything?
the road is where I left my heart
Find a place to sleep
in a wheat field off the west banks
pitch a home made out of a sheet that you got in the trash from a U-save
We've got our plan devised
another small town conquered
we've got mud on our shoes but a fire in our eyes and our hearts always tell us to press onward
I try to look ahead as I think about what you said when I was in the dark
I lifet my mind somewhere, but
the road is where I left my heart
Put my shoes by the door
this tattered pair of rags...
can I stay for a couple days or more?
I've only got my shoes and a bag.
I can tell you about the trip
we can catch up on old times
when it was okay to not care about a thing
when the grass wold never grow but the sun would always shine
Don't ever take life for granted
find your roots where they were planted
I've given it all I've got
So take another breath
the road is where I left my heart x2
