A Box Is A Home

I'm laughing cause it's really just a joke
They're renting closets for $500 down a polk
I'm singing cause that's all I've got that makes sense
It's midway through the month and I've saved up a few cents
And on every first...
You can watch the people start to squirm and curse
Cause their landlord's landlord's landlord's moving in
Cause their landlord's landlord's bankbook is getting thin
Out of all these people hustling
Who can say what is the sin?
No, I can't blame a man for trying
And you can save up all you want but you can't buy no common sense
I'm moving to the park where the landed gentry are selling tents
To the rest of the folks who aren't lucky enough to own
A closet a garage much less thinking about a home
And Golden Gate's gonna be the next hot neighborhood, I can tell
As enough people get kicked out and they're feeling low as hell
They'll throw out all they own except what they can carry on their backs
Like battery-charged computers and high end knapsacks
We'll clutter up the golf course
That's some prime real estate
In the year 2000, culture will be out of date
Having a steady job just don't matter any more
Start donating your money to the local liquor store
At least there you'll get your money's worth
And if you get drunk enough you might not know how to curse
Cause you will have forgotten about the first
When the next space you envisioned was inside a hearse
To carry you home to the stone and the loam
Where you don't pay nothing and a box is a home

6 Feet Above

She's lying 6 feet above my head
And may I be this happy when they lay me 6 feet down
Under the ground, only when she's around
Do I hear the sound of the special beat
That my heart makes, when it's in love
She's in my bed, with her head on my pillow
She's my woman, thank god she's here
Cause when she's not I feel like half a man
A scary reality I can not understand
Put on some soft music to caress her ears
Give her all the peace I can
Cause all I am
Is her loving man

Gonna Be Alright
03:31

Maybe it will be that nothing's gonna get any better
But everything's gonna be alright
Maybe tomorrow you'll be burning this letter
But everything's gonna be alright
Why did it always seem to be
Me that was holding on tightly?
Why was it that it seems to me
That you took my good side too lightly?
Why did you always seem to be
High on a bench condemning judges?
Why was it it was always me
Lying guilty in the shadow of your grudges?
It must of been because I was too scared to rise above
The darkness of the depths of your comparisons
Am I better now? Only time can tell
Daring to fly alone to the sun

Treat Me Like A Stranger
04:55

This might seem a little bit strange to you
But here's the reason I came to you
To ask a favor that isn't hearfelt
And is too cause something's got to change
And I've seen the way you treat your loved ones
And I know that you love me too
So I been layed down on the road you walk
I've felt your feet on my back
I don't know why you do it
And I guess neither do you
But you give all your patience and tolerance
To those who don't care about you
And if they do its not like me
I need what I know you can give
I need what I know you can give
So, I ask with not a little bit of anger
Please, Love, treat me like a stranger

We've Lost
04:31
|

This pain that I feel
Comes from fighting back something too real
The conclusion that I must go
The conclusion that this hurts too much
To put myself, back in the battle
In the battlefield of love and war
We are bleeding casualties
Not prostitutes, but pawns
Stepping around spaces of suicide and pain
When I visualize Love's hand, it becomes a game
And I'm so damaged, and so trapped
That thinking about the giving up
Tears my insides up
Leaving me, on the battlefield
Well mined
To try again for the good times
On the battlefield, I've sometimes, seen flower for miles
Sometimes I see two melting smiles
Two struggling lovers, hearts pumping furious
Not enough, not possible
We bought a lemon
Take it back to the lot
Jump out of the moving car
The engine's getting hot
King and Queen of hearts we are the
Pawns of their desires
Weren't on the same side,
Same mission no listen
They was a whispering
We've been fooled, there was no hope
There was no dream
We've Lost

Still I Love You
03:52
|

|
I don't know what to say
To make you stay in my arms tonight
But it is clear you must go
So, I won't put up a fight
But, I love you
oooo, oooo, I love you
I know how to be alone
But it's clear I wouldn't choose it now
After you been so far and now so close
I can tell you're going anyhow
But, I love you
oooo, oooo, I love you
What to do when you're away
It once was easy to be satisfied
How will we ever start up again
Dust off our Love and take it off the shelf
But, I love you
oooo, oooo, I love you
Being together we got sick
It was clear as the sun, our love'd gone wrong
But after all this time here we are
It's been a long night, here comes the dawn
And I love you
oooo, oooo I love you

Final Door
04:05

The burden was greater than he could carry
Even though he carried it only just barely
Could the edge be avoided walking on that line
A curious place within the mind
Where old trees snap like twigs
Under only the slightest winds
And temples start to crumble
At the crack that once were hid
In good times and young lives
And moments of rapture
Hopping around from stone to stone
Unaware that you are alone
Hoping that you'll soon be home
Then one day he realized
That in fact there was no prize
Told himself so many lies
It was then that he found the door
The final door
It was then that he found the door

Friday's Shoes
04:41

Put on Friday's shoes
Still got those Monday blues
Nothing much more here to lose
Walk out the door
It all comes back in a flash
Heart attack with Love's whiplash
Keep walking but keep it slow
Keep walking but keep it slow
To the corner looking for the man
It's something that shouldn't stand
Still reaching out for the hand
Look down and hurry past
See her standing at the door
Rang a bell that never rang before
Notice how the feet got sore
Looking for the amend
Feeling happy but how long can it last?
Took a deep breath became a last gasp
Knowing now about yesterday's fool
Put on Friday's shoes
Still got those Monday blues
Nothing much more here to lose
Walk out the door

It Is This
07:11

I don't know why it always seemed to me that
Living past your prime was a waste of time
But philosophy, comes easy at 23
When there's still time to spare
And you can laugh at despair
What does it matter in the long run
Cause right now's still good
when nothing's understood
And I, can't help but wonder
what will become of me
A few yards down the road
When it all is still a mystery
And I get tired of being me
One day will surely come
When I feel like I'm done
And the sun has set on my life
It's just around the corner
Sooner or later we all must go
If there's one thing that I know
It is this:
One day will surely come
When I feel like I'm done
And the sun has set on my life
