Lost Dogs: Rarities & B-Sides (Album)
Side 1
Got all night, plenty of time
Take these (?) from my eyes
So alive
(?)
Before you die
(?)
we got all night
Please be here, top of the stairs
(?) the president (?)
(?)
(?) to just get by
Why be satisfied, we got all night
You scream and wail, see who's here
Scream and wail, see who's here
(?)
Be satisfied, we got all night
We got all night
We got all night
All night
Ahh
All the photographs were peeling
And colors turned to gray
He stayed in his room with memories for days
He faced an undertow of futures laid to waste
Embraced by the loss of what he could not replace
There is no reason that she passed
And there is no god with a plan
It's sad and his loneliness is proof
It's sad he could only love you
It's sad
The door swings to a passing fable
A fate we may delay
We say holding on delivered in our own brace
He let em as he laid in bed
hoping that dreams would bring her back
It's sad and his loneliness is proof
It's sad he could only love you
It's sad
Holding his last breath
Believing he'll make his way
But she's not forgotten
He's haunted, he's searching for escape
If just one wish could bring her back
It's sad and his loneliness is proof
It's sad he will always love you
It's sad
Down, fall by the wayside no getting out
Down, cry me a river dried up and dammed
The names can be changed but the place is still the same
I am loaded, told that all's for naught, holds me down
Rise, life is in motion, I'm stuck in line
Rise, you can't be neutral on a moving train
One day the symptoms fade, think I'll throw these pills away
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me, yeah
In the moonlight
(?)
It's getting close to (?)
In the moonlight
Given two lost wings (?)
(?)
In the moonlight
Under a starlight ceiling
And darkness a sea (?)
Your senses revealed
In the moonlight
It's (?)
Darkened days (?)
A night bird is following you all the time
It's (?)
Darkened days are spent (?)
A night bird is following you
Is following you
A night bird is following you all the time
You fool, dude, what do you think you're doing?
So your loss, my problem is not conductors says "Off of my train".
Be understood, I guess those relationships ain't my thing
Even if I could, you ain't the kind of person I would help anyway
I'm about to explode, 'cause I can't carry your load
Hitchhiker, go, hitchhiker
You're cool, in (?) your calculations
We're friends, only because of my situation
I'm about to unload, 'cause I can't carry your load
Hitchhiker, go, hitchhiker
Hitchhiker
So be gone, too soon is too late I don't want no delay
So be gone, get your food off someone else's plate
Going to all of your friends, I'm an idiot and your grave
Hitchhiker, hitchhiker
Now go
Hitchhiker, go, hitchhiker
Don't gimme no lip (2x) } (2x)
Don't gimme no }
Don't gimme no lip
(?)
Don't gimme no lip
I've lost my taste for it
Don't gimme no lip
You've gotta face this shit
Don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no lip
Don't gimme no lip (2x) } (3x)
Don't gimme no }
Don't gimme no lip

Don't gimme no lip
Suck on your cigarette (?)
Don't gimme no lip

Don't gimme no lip
It's just a problem
One I'll be solving
It's just a problem
Don't gimme no lip (2x) } (4x)
Don't gimme no }
Wide awake like snakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had a woman long as he can remember
He's to forget but he can't, he can't
Out of bed having dreams in the shower
She's standing naked, he's apologizing
Reaches for her and the water turns blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned again
Go it alone
You got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face, "he can't take it any other way."
On the streets he's walking wounded
Having nothing he's got nothing to say
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coal
Go it alone
You got it so it goes
Got his knees to his face, "he can't take it for another day."
Yeah, yeah
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Seems to forget but he can't, he can't
I'm questioning my education
Is my education (?) what I'm now?
While you're deciding, I've been finding
Looking around in the here and now
If I'd been talking from the beginning, would my fears now be winning?
Ah, hey
I'm questioning my own equation
Is my own equation relevant somehow?
The flag's a waiving the news is breaking
See the man who can't pick out his own tire
If I'd been talking from the beginning, would my fears now be winning?
A wild world figuring out the answers
I'll be in my own dance, ah yeah
I'm questioning my education
Rewind and what does it show
Could've been the truth, it becomes you
I'm a seed wondering what grows, yeah
Ah, yeah
Thought it was easy to fall in love but you, you, you
You're different this much I know yeah, you, you, you
It might be your guile, it could be your mind
It might be the way you take your time
Oh you, you, you
You, it's you, it's you, you, you
Ah you, it's you, it's you, you, you
I never know how much to say with you, you, you
I'd like to go deep but is it safe with you, you, you
It might be your knees, it could be your eyes
It might be the way you don't sympathize
Oh you, you, you
You, it's you, it's you, you, you
Ah you, it's you, it's you, you, you
You break laws and pay no fines
You get yours and then get mine
I thought it was easy to stay in love but you, you, you
You, it's you, it's you, you, you
Ah you, you, it's you, it's you, you, you
Ah you, it's you, it's you, it's you
Ah you, you, you, it's you, it's always you, you, you
You
Don't look, don't look, don't
Exponentially serving
Perpetually unnerving
Vehicles swerving
The adjectives, they are all a-bluring
Freud walking the sidelines
Clipboard scoring the brain
Black magic painted trees
Makes me sane
Hormones firing like a 50 foot woman, yeah
Please don't make me explain
Don't matter away
Phantom pain in my brain
It's all that's left of my leg
Black and red and yellow (2x)

Every beach has a clown who thinks he knows it all
(Hang-ten outta Santa Fe when surf comes out tomorrow lets go!)
And he's always practicing his cowabunga call.
(Cowabunga!)
But the menace scrambles when the big waves start to roll
(Wsssshhhh)
'Cause there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control.
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse than a gremmie out of control
The kids all know that a gremmie's talk is cheep
(Ride the Hula-Han over the pipeline bonsai to the saddle bowl)
Though they just try to ignore this ugly creep
(Cowabunga!)
His board is always full of dings 'cause he's always doing stupid things
And there's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control
Gremmie out of control (x2)
There's nothing worse then a gremmie out of control (3x)
The sun was in clouds. The sun looked out. Exposed a trail of mist and spouts.
Ships followed the ancient lead. Deceiving friends under the sea.
Wow, imagine that? They won't fight back. I got a theory on that.
dark.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or are too proud.
They won't fight back. I'm sure they know how. Means they love or too proud.
They swim. It's really free. It's a beautiful thing to see. They sing.
Hunters of land. Hunters of sea. Exploit anything for money.
I refer to anybody that takes advantage of what that is free.
They won't fight back.
your sight.
Take what you want. Kill what you can. That's just one way of the mind of man.
Take their lives. Sell their parts but there is not taking of their hearts.
To be.
They won't fight back. (x5)
They don't know how.
They won't fight back. (x3)
Last stop on the westcoast line
South of the northern border
One small corner on my mind
Everybody they know me there
Don't get any second glances
Chances are that they don't care
World as come undone
like they change it everyday
Change don't come at once
There's a wave building before it breaks
Can't wait for election day
Where the nasty occupation
Corporations rule the day
Playing on the pendulum throws
Farther out to the one side swinging
Has to sweep back the other way
The world has come undone
Another day and who can wait
Change don't come at once
It's a wave building before it breaks
All this hope and nowhere to go
This is how I used to feel but no more
The world has come undone
Like a game that few can play
Change don't come from one
It's a wave building before it breaks
I was torn riding atop a black horse
Whatever (?) I could only observe
Where the trouble starts
Where does it end?
How can I (?)
Before it ends
I know life would be different if I held on
I know I could be something if I held on
I gave her love away
Put it in my pocket when it should have been framed
Lost is shine
Gotta get this outta my head
Outta my head
How could it end?
End like this?
How could it end?
I know life would be different had I held on
I know I could be something had I held on
I know I could be something if I held on
I know life would be different if I held on
I know
Held on
Held on
If I held on
Held on
Held on
If I held on
Held on
If I held on
Held on
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand I wanna leave it again. Yeah.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I call out again.
And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.
I said "I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't want to stay.
Make me cry...
I see... Ooh I don't know why there's something else.
I wanna drum it all away...
Oh, I said, "I don't, I don't know whether I was the boxer or the bag."
Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't wanna stay at all.
I don't wanna stay. Yeah.
I don't wanna stay. (x2)
Side 2
How good is he, how warm are his eyes, you'll see he's not a reprise (?)
That he arrived too late and too tethered away to put on his suit and his tie
How good is he, how warm is his heart or ego telling him which place to park
Did he relay the message is clearly, hardly grounds for dismissal outright
Grounds for dismissal outright
I wake up and wait up (?) and fashion
I wake up and wait up, it echoes through the mansions
I wake up and wait up, when April's and May oh (?)
I wake up and wait up, the answers are fatal
The answers are fatal
I wake up and wait up, the answers are fatal
If he's truly out of sight
Is he truly out of mind
If he's truly out of sight
It's not the same without you up here
Can't find my wheels
Your absence is what breeds this fear
Warm breath and all it steals
You can't know how it feels to be in here
All the dark horse fields, befriending me
Playing ain't the same without you here
We've come to hate the golden rule
Cannot seem to make the dots connect
The morning light don't show you near
You can't know what it's like to bleed from here
The blackened world goes white, it goes nowhere
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Death ain't the same without you, dear
I make the others run and hide
New York streets seem to make it worse
All this noise inside the quiet
I can't hold on, the weight you bear
My body's broken fast, please lift me up
You can't know what it's like to be inside
Your fading melodies that meet my need
I'm not the same without you here
How can I quit to be there
Sit and stare, stare
Begging for a prayer
Paint a picture (?)
Light your pillow. Lay back. Watch the flames
I'll tell a story but no one would listen that long
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine
Ohh (4x)
(?)
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine
Ohh (4x)
Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, somehow
Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, somehow
Ohh (4x)
Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, I hope this works somehow
Things were different then, all is different now
I tried to explain, oh somehow
Don't even think about reaching me, I won't be home
Don't even think about stopping by, don't think of me at all
I did what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you
Aaah, don't even think about getting inside
Voices in my head, ooh, voices
I got scratches all over my arms
One for each day since I fell apart
I did, oh, what I had to do
If there was a reason it was you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
Oh, pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you
I did what I had to do
Oh, and if there was a reason, oh, there wasn't no reason, no
Oh and if there's something you'd like to do, oh, just let me continue to blame you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
Oh, pictures on my chest, it was you, you, oh
Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my own mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah
Sin the sale, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off, yeah
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah
What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside, though I stray
What she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow
Bring it back someway, bring it back, bring it back
Back to, to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)
Uh
Sailing on my every step. Inching off of the earth.
Is magnified by the things I've done.
The thing that I've become.
Every lift of my hand. Coffee cup up, and back.
Is magnified by the things I've done. The things I've seen. the things I've caused.
I'm a dead man walking.
The hammer that I once brung down now hovers over me.
Cast a shadow across, onto me.
The hallways are all mocking me.
What I've become they're all mocking me.
I'm a dead man walking. A dead man walking. A dead man walking.
It's five below in evidence
The winded eves and sideways snow
His eminence has yet to show
Follow the ageless tide
Follow the angled light
Follow the strangest tribe
I, I, I
It's 6 AM you're waiting for
You've had your feast, you're wanting more
Follow the wayward mile
Follow the distant high
Follow the strangest tribe
I, I, I
Follow the ancient stripe
Follow the angels try
Follow the strangest tribe
I, I, I
Drifting, drifting, drifting away
I got myself a mansion, then I gave it away
It's not the world that's heavy, just the things that you save
And I'm drifting, drifting away
Drifting, drifting, drifting along
I rid myself of worries, and the worries were gone
I only run when I want to and I sleep like a dog
I'm just drifting, drifting along
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made"
They get so damn excited, but I guess it's their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
It's good for drifting, drifting away
The suitcoats say, "There is money to be made"
They get so excited, nothing gets in their way
My road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
It's good for drifting, drifting away
Drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
I feel like going back there, but never for long
I sometimes wonder if they know that I'm gone
I'm drifting, drifting along
Drifting, drifting along
Drifting, drifting along
1, 2, 3, 4
Cold wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid, oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
Thought you burned, not froze for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired, and cold
Oh, when I was a kid, oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Oh, when I was a kid, oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Oh, oh, when I, if I was a kid, oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me dream, it's Christmas time
Where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
We were out on a date in my daddy's car
We hadn't driven very far
There in the road, straight ahead
A car was stalled, the engine was dead
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
The screamin tires, the bustin glass
The painful scream that I heard last
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
When I woke up the rain was pourin down
There were people standing all around
Something warm flowing through my eyes
But somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said
"Hold me darling, just a little while"
I held her close, I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love that I knew I had missed
Well now she's gone
Even though I hold her tight
I lost my love, my life, that night
Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Uuh, uuh, uuh, uuh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ah
Power high, power low, you can take 'em all to school
You could fly, (?) had nothing on you
Lampchops and afro(?), Milwaukee (?) and a barbeque, number 33, just like you
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Sweet Lew, making me blue
Laker (?) Bobby D for a house (?) by the sea
A little help from 32, showtime (?) those were the days
Preembessment sprea
Sweet Lew, is it true?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
I grew up trying to copy you
Bruce Lee and kung-fu
Actor Ja(?) and Yogi too
Little did I know
A lose screw
But you had your own shoe

(?) basketball
Tear 'em down, one and all
72 is a long way to fall
Sweet Lew, how's the view?
Sweet Lew, how could you?
Dirty Frank Dahmer, he's a gourmet cook, yeah
I got a recipe for anglo-saxin, yeah
Wanted a pass, so she relaxed
Now the little groupie's getting chopped up in the back
I got a cupboard full of fleshy fresh ingredients
A very careful at the same time quite expedient
Eats meat, a release
Bus driving's harder on your head than on your feet
Dirty Frank
Dirty Frank, yeah
Dirty Frank
Uh, dirty Frank, yeah
Keeps it clean, a keeps it copaseptic
A little boys and girls, their heads are all collected
A not crazy, a per se

A stadiums, tiny clubs, every venue
His bus, your trust
There goes another turned into crust
Dirty Frank
Ah, dirty Frank, yeah
Dirty Frank
Ah, dirty Frank, yeah
Yeah oh, watch it
Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother
Shut your mouth!
Hey man, I'm just talking about dirty Frank
Mmm, middle of the night, we're stopped, the freeway shoulder
A Frank's shoveling to bury the leftovers
They're sunk, he's drunk
Now he's gonna drive, I'm hiding in my bunk, oh
The band all knows, we're too afraid to mention
Don't wanna be part of Frank's luncheon
A-lose weight, a-be safe
Where's Mike McCready?
My god, he's been ate!
Dirty Frank

Shut your mouth!
Hey, I'm just talking about dirty Frank
Okay, I think that's enough
(Instrumental)
Bee girl, you're gonna die.
You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy.
Do your dances alone in your room.
Becoming a star will become your doom.
Bee Girl, be a girl. [2X]
You know time is long, and life is short.
Begin to live while you still can.
Believe in nothing, believe me,
Those who can be trusted can change their mind.
When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time.
Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind.
Bee Girl, be a girl... [2X]
She said to me over the phone
She wanted to see other people
I thought, "Well then, look around. They're everywhere."
Said that she was confused.
I thought, "Darling, join the club."
24 years old, midlife crisis
Nowadays hits you when you're young
I hung up, she called back, I hung up again
The process had already started
At least it happened quick
I swear I died inside that night
A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing
The last thing he said was "Be sound."
Sound.
I contemplated an awful thing I hate to admit
I just thought those would be such appropriate last words
But I'm still here
And small
So small, how could this trouble seem so big?
So big.
Where the palms in the breeze still blow green
And the waves in the sea still absolute blue
But the horror
Every single thing I see is a reminder of her
Never thought I'd curse the day I met her
But since she's gone and wouldn't hear.. who would care? What good would that do?
But I'm still here
So imagine in a month or twelve.
I'll be somewhere having a drink
Laughing at a stupid joke or just another stupid thing
And I can see myself stopping short
Drifting out of the present
Sucked by the undertow and pulled out deep
And there I am standing, wet grass and white head stones
All in rows
And in the distance there is one
Off on its own
So I stop, kneel
My new home
And I picture a sober awakening
A reentry into this little bar scene
Sip my drink till the ice hits my lips
Order another round
That's it for now
Sorry
Never been too good at happy endings
