LYRICS
1. Turn It Up
burn that rose and tear down the walls
let me down, don't let me fall
i feel like a ship that never made it to land
just like a neverous child, don't know who i am
they tell you love it'll never die
don't let it break, don't hold it inside
hold me close, don't let me go
turn it up on your radio til' i don't know, til' i won't go
i feel like a judge breaking the law
then other days i feel nothing at all
i don't wanna love if she ain't mine
and i don't wanna win if it means losing my mind
they tell you love it'll never die
don't let it break, don't hold it inside
hold me close, don't let me go
turn it up on your radio til' i don't know, til' i won't go
burn that rose and tear down the walls
let me down, don't let me fall
i wanna die where the corn fields grow
where the hummingbird sings a song that nobody knows
they tell you love it'll never die
don't let it break, don't hold it inside
hold me close, don't let me go
turn it up on your radio til' i don't know, til' i won't go
2. Roses & Wardens
driving down the freeway
looking for a new place
trying to find something true
breaking up the down
beat sitting on a bar seat
baby, i'm waiting on you
i can't help it
i can't help myself
oh you know me better than i know myself
i want something
and what i want is true
oh i just don't know but i think that's you
everything passes
you're sticking like molasses
faith ain't something to see
roses in the garden
surrounded by wardens
don't take a chance on me
i can't help it
i can't help myself
oh you know me better than i know myself
i want something
and what i want is true
oh i just don't know but i think that's you
someone once told you
you won't ever find truth
in the bottom of a bottle at night
if you want a needle in the hackstack
go on and just strike a match
hold it til' it burns so bright
i can't help it
i can't help myself
oh you know me better than i know myself
i want something
and what i want is true
oh i just don't know but i think that's you
3. Carnival
put a nickel in me and we'll go round the man in the mirror who's upside down
i think someone left their addiction
on the table where she'll cut me in two as the clown with gun is taking my shoes
now all i need is an eviction
this ain't a carnival
with a blue colored suit and a white silver hat
no, i never needed that
notice the dog with only three legs and the boy with the puppet who's too proud to beg
for anything but a monkey
who does what he's told when he's locked in a cage and swinging around for days and days
he's trying not to get lucky
this ain't a carnival
with a blue colored suit and a white silver hat
no, i never needed, never needed that
call me a fool, say it ain't real - fair is as fair as a ferris wheel
that goes around and round for days
around to the top, around to the bottom, around in the middle, a round if you got em'
as the girl with the trumpet plays
this ain't a carnival
with a blue colored suit and a white silver hat
no, i never needed, never needed that
4. Run Around
she keeps running around, she keeps running away
i keep thinking about all the words you never say
i don't know and i don't know anymore
i keep walking, walking right out your door
she's a run around
5. Beggin' For More
she got the blues and she's running away
i got the words but i don't know how to say them
oh no, i need a little more
well i think about you do you think about me
when you're wandering downtown alone on the street
lookin' for a little more
maybe if i tried a little harder
maybe if i was a little smarter
maybe
i'm just beggin' for more
everybody wants what they just can't have
and i ain't any different i just know that it's sad
that we are always wanting more
well i know i'm not you but does it matter
cause we're all falling down life's long ladder
lookin' for a little more
maybe if i tried a little harder
and maybe if i was a little smarter
maybe
i'm just beggin' for more
6. Emily
tell me yes, tell me no
tell me where you gotta go
another heart, another break
another kiss, another mistake
if love's so cheap why you so damn broke
emily, what do you know
this is it, this is us
burning up all of our love
cover me, i'll cover you
breaking up or just breaking thru
if love's so cheap why you so damn broke
emily, what do you know
tell me why, tell me now
are you in or are you out
cover me, i'll cover you
breaking up or breaking in two
if love's so cheap why you so damn broke
emily, what do you know
7. Hangin'
i go walking in my sleep
i go running down the road
we all want what we don't need
wanna reap what we don't sow
and it brings me down
why you take it so low
tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
hangin' from a rope, hangin' from a thread
won't you cut me down cause i'm hangin'
hangin' from a ropse, hangin' from a thread
won't you cut me down, won't you put me to bed
i got chasing my own dreams
but i'm running way too slow
hallucinating things i've seen
daydreaming things i don't know
and it brings me down
why you take it so low
tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
hangin' from a rope, hangin' from a thread
won't you cut me down cause i'm hangin'
hangin' from a ropse, hangin' from a thread
won't you cut me down, won't you put me to bed
people getting in my way
people messing up my flow
but they can't tell me what to say
no, they can't tell me where to go
8. Baby, Don't Go
ah baby, don't go
i know i did you wrong but i love you so
so please don't go
and leave me here all alone
if there's nothing i can do
girl, to make you change your ways
if there's nothing i can tell you
girl, to make you stay
ah baby, don't go
i know i said some things that i just don't know
so please don't go
and leave me dying in the cold
if there's nothing i can do
girl, to make you change your ways
just know that i love you
isn't that enough to make you stay
ah baby, don't go
you're breaking my heart and breaking my soul
so please don't go
and leave me crying all alone
if there's nothing i can do
girl, to make you change your ways
just know that i love you
even enough to make you stay
if there's nothing i can tell you
please don't go away
9. Are You Still There
oh when you're lucky or when you're not
feel like giving up when it's all you got
are you running dry when you need a drink
cause you poured his heart down a sink
oh, you don't need that now
oh, you need that now
but are you still there
somedays it hurts, somedays it won't
but she won't have love until she don't
name the price and i'll pay the cost
of finding myself in someone i lost
oh, you don't need that now
oh, you need that now
but are you still there
oh when you're lucky or when you're not
feel like giving up when it's all you got
oh i ain't the devil and i ain't god
but i don't try to be what not
10. Bite The Bullet
don't raise your voice, don't talk too loud
come on pretty mamma make your daddy proud
well i got the money but she got the gun
and everybody telling me boy you better run
i don't want anymore
go on and shoot me down then leave me on your floor
go on and place your bet but don't talk too soon
or you'll live to regret all the things you already knew
well i never did it so i never won
but i chased the bullet right into the sun
i don't want anymore
go on and shoot me down then leave me on your floor
i can't take anymore
go on and shoot me down then leave me on your floor
11. Shallow
it's lonely where you were
where you used to stand
and i cried every tear
hell, i cried out the man
who's broken and shallow
and tore up inside
with nowhere to hide
yeah, now i keep running
away from love
cause everytime i give in
i always give too much
too much to swallow
it eats me alive
until i'm dying inside
if our love was real
then so was the pain
that burned me up in the sun
and put me down in the rain
until i was broken and shattered
and tore up inside
with nowhere to hide
with nowhere to hide
shallow
with nowhere to hide
shallow
with nowhere to hide
