Nobody’s Perfect
You used to say you’d be my bride;
I used to think you’d change my life.
When you see me smile again;
Remember when I was your friend.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ
Life was set I had it made;
I’d quit my job and start again.
When we went to buy a house;
I found the debt you lied about.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ
You just need to get a job;
Get some help and take your medicine.
Instead you cheat and pound your chest;
I feed the girls in curls you left.
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ.
Oh why? Oh why?
Oh why? Oh why?
Nobody’s perfect except for Jesus Christ.
Moon With a View
I got a place I live on the moon
Don’t have to chill with any you fools;
Grow my own crops in special made pods;
I got sanctioned to grow my plantation from God.
I like it here, it looks like it may be
getting crowded down there.
I like it here, it looks like it may be
getting crowded down there.
Just me and my wifey, the little boy’s fixed;
No ethics to ponder when there ain’t any kicks.
Big as the sky, you’re waving me down;
I’m out on the moon putting seeds in the ground.
Give it all, give it all to the third world;
Looks like it may be crowded down there.
Give it all, give it all to the third world;
Looks like it may be crowded down there.
Two thousand one martians are short;
Little boy blue genetics cold sore.
Sentenced to die drowning in hate;
It’s just me here and you’re on the moon.
Oceans will rise, activists limp;
Born overboard, born in the end.
Sentenced to die drowning in hate;
It’s just me here and you’re on the moon.
Keep my luggage in a crater, dude
Peas in a Pod
Same untied shoes,
Same licking wounds;
Yeah put me in
the damaged camp;
And when my hands
shoot rubber bands;
Delinquent with
a faith in me.
We are just two peas in a pod
you and i, you and I, you and I;
Some peas just roll the same,
you and i, you and I, you and I.
Same heart attack,
Same bones we know;
Same frozen face
down in the snow.
My new guitar,
A classic tone;
And I need
what I don’t know.
We are just two peas in a pod
you and i, you and I, you and I;
Some peas just roll the same,
you and i, you and I, you and I.
Some day our kitchen
Filled with light;
And friends come here
To sit for wine;
A body for
a waking mind;
Touching you
Not biding time.
We are just two peas in a pod
you and i, you and I, you and I;
Some peas just roll the same,
you and i, you and I, you and I.
And then again
you raise your own;
And they forgot
to understand.
How heavenly
the flowerpot
I have wings
and wind below.
We are just two peas in a pod
you and i, you and I, you and I;
Some peas just roll the same,
you and i, you and I, you and I.
Half of Everything
Say you want a bookmark, I was just a book;
Say you want your jacket, I was just a hook.
Then you want a fire, fires they need fuel;
Then you want the desert until you learn it’s dry.
Baby, you get half of everything;
Baby, you get half of everything;
Maybe, you get half of everything;
Maybe you’re half of what I need.
Say you want an oilman, oilman got gas;
Say you want a funny man ’cause funny makes me laugh.
I think you want a wall, walls come tumbling down;
You run and then you fall, because he pushes back.
Baby, you get half of everything;
Baby, you get half of everything;
Maybe, you get half of everything;
Maybe you’re half of what I need.
Say you want a racecar, racecars they go fast;
I think you are the tin man, he doesn’t have a heart.
I think you want a wall, walls come falling down;
I said I’d give you everything, instead you just want half.
Baby, you get half of everything;
Baby, you get half of everything;
Maybe, you get half of everything;
Maybe you’re half of what I need.
Oh baby you get half of everything!
Baby you get half of everything!
Baby you get half of everything.
Smokey Eyes
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
Just like in Lucky Magazine;
See the world turn brown from green.
Though I’m wishing you would stay,
I will rise and learn to love again;
I will rise and learn to love again;
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
It is love, or it’s disaster;
I don’t care as long you wear it.
It would be a crime of passion
Not to hold you in my arms,
Not to hold you in my arms.
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
Turn around and walk away,
Turn around and walk away;
You know I love your smokey eyes.
Don’t know why and if you’re crying;
Don’t know when or why you’re lying.
Need a fork because I’m done;
Baby when you coming home,
Oh baby, when you coming home?
Self Central
touch me I’ll touch you back
love me I love your hat
talk to me like I was someone
not just another boy sad in a corner
there was a day
when everyone was free
we felt the air and we had memory
like a psalm or satellite up in a tree
we throw things down
and I wanted just one day of grace
not a runaway or another lie
every man and all her sons
deciding what you all would want
you and them the worldly friend
taken from the innocent
can’t I just
smile and hope
they know
the seeds to grow?
are you what
I see or a body
without strings?
self central down on my knees
self central pray for man
because his dirt is dirty man
with your blood and
burning man
