Intro 03:20
lyrics
If you just look around, you're gonna figure out who's putting' it down Girl, look what you've found; come and sit down if you wanna live downtown Let's flip on the TV, then we'll see what we've been getting for free

A Little Before Nine 04:50
lyrics
We broke up when I woke up yesterday I opened my eyes, she slowly faded away Now I see it was all inside of my head Now I just can't get out of bed Well, I'm so tired of waiting around Numbing myself; searching for a way out Maybe I'd get a little more sleep at night If I could just wake up a little before nine If I could just wake up a little before nine, I'd straighten right up and quit wasting your time, Get a real job and obey the law, But that'd be no fun at all... If I could just wake up a little before nine, Then I'd be doing just fine Then I'd be feeling alright Then I might be on your mind All the little things she says just bring me closer, Every little thing I do just seems to bore her...

Rain 03:43
lyrics
Everyday when I kiss your face, I say it'll be okay and that I'll stay And sometimes when I look at you, I get the feeling that we're through 'cuz there's nothin' left to do. You don't love her, but you don't know why You can't tell her, without telling a lie Maybe you're just too high And the way that she looks at you Looks as though she's telling the truth Oh but you don't want her to Well Darlin' can't you hear the rain? Can't you see that you and I are turning grey? Used to feel you in my bones and in my brain Now all that I can feel is you fade away Can't you see that you and I are turning grey?

Styrofoam 03:31
lyrics
Walk in the front door I see a A Ziggy sippin' on a Gives me that look that says, "hey man you know this don't come cheap" It's Free Oh, I know I should mop the floor And so I donut get bored I'll pop a top and take a pop and anything on my nerves It'll hurt I'm stoned, I'm styrofoam Out cold, leave me alone I got high, and I kissed the sky I'm blind and I'm satisfied Oh, I've got an answer I need a problem My knees are shaken and my tricks are hiding up my sleeve Well, despite my crooked nature I really want to make her See I'm no calculator Save me for later baby, please I'm stoned, I'm styrofoam Out cold, leave me alone I got high, and I kissed the sky I'm blind and I'm satisfied

Your Daddy Says (I'm Just Confused) 03:56
lyrics
You were sitting by him looking over my way that way last nite That's right It was plain to see you could easily let go You came a knocking on my door the night before like you wanted more Yea, like you wanted more And now you are gonna make me break another rule And I die a little bit inside every single time you tell another lie Girl, what you trying to hide? You say I'm just right but there's something stopping you You know we could make this alright Just you and I We'll unplug the phone and then this is how it'll go: I'm not your dog, I'm just your man And Jesus Christ has holes in his hands Cuz' he was the king of disregarding the rules Your daddy says I'm just confused (Your daddy says I'm just confused)

Simmer Down 01:54
lyrics
Maybe I should mellow out Sober up and simmer down I'll paint my salary onto my house That way there will be no doubt I think I'll cut off my hair You'll realize what's under there And then I'll do what I should And then I'll act real good And then I'll be real nice And then I'll do it all nite... Just when you think You're having fun You accidentally go out and then you bug someone And then the moon looks at you Asking, "what will you do?" For the rest of your life, Do whatever you like But what about tonight?

Just Try & Calm Down 05:28
lyrics
Just try and calm down She will be back this way She will love you someday Just stick around You're on your knees You're beggin' please Won't you just spend five minutes talking to me? But the answers are fleeting And having the answer is cheating But somehow these answers are making their way across the whole damn town Just try and calm down I gotta little problem that I think you know too well Used to have a woman, now she's with someone else It's easy to tell I always kept her warm at night, I never did her wrong I even did her dishes before I'd mow the lawn But I guess that's just not enough Just try and calm down She will be back this way She will love you someday Just stick around You're on your knees You're beggin' please Won't you just spend five minutes talking to me? But the answers are fleeting And having the answer is cheating But somehow these answers are making their way across the whole damn town Just try and calm down So I wrote a nice letter and I mailed it to the Lord But she was too busy so I just got ignored Then I went to the store to buy some alcohol I took that seven-fifty, thought I could drink it all Then I wrote her another letter on the floor of a bathroom stall Just try and calm down She will be back this way She will love you someday Just stick around You're on your knees You're beggin' please Won't you just spend five minutes talking to me? But the answers are fleeting And having the answer is cheating But somehow these answers are making their way across the whole damn town Just try and calm down

Special Blend 04:14
lyrics
When everything outside gets cold You find yourself all alone Well, you know just how to stay warm Call up a friend about half past two You need someone to come and talk to you Cuz, you know they always tell the truth Now all you wanna do is go to sleep So you go outside one last time To forget just where you put your dreams Special blend My special blend She is my friend Big ol' yellow sun goes down Only thing left for you is the air It doesn't make a sound So when you're bored beyond compare Take a breath my friend She's so much better Than breathing air She is my friend

Someplace You'd Rather Be 03:08
lyrics
We, we were really cool Always skipping school You could really fool a fool And I, I was always at your door I guess you were so adored You knew you could afford one more He came with a shirt pinned to his rose All died black and sold Now he says he's broke He just told his stupid joke About how I shouldn't smoke Then he kissed you on the nose I know that you care, sir But I don't wanna share her I just wanna marry up and go somewhere It's not that hard to see, girl That you belong in my world Unless there's somewhere else that you'd rather be...

Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die 03:00
lyrics
Roll me up and smoke me when I die And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye Say I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin' So don't sit around and cry Just roll me up and smoke me when I die. You won't see no sad and teary eyes When I get my wings and it's my time to fly Just call my friends and tell them There's a party, come on by And just roll me up and smoke me when I die. Roll me up and smoke me when I die And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye Say I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin' So don't sit around and cry Just roll me up and smoke me when I die. Well just take me out and build a roaring fire And just roll me in the flames for about an hour And then pull me out and twist me up And point me towards the sky And roll me up and smoke me when I die. Roll me up and smoke me when I die And if anyone don't like it, just look 'em in the eye Say I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin' So don't sit around and cry Just roll me up and smoke me when I die. I didn't come here, and I ain't leavin' So don't sit around and cry Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
