Don't Want To Know Me Anymore

Baby reach way down deep in your purse 
Either help me make it better or help me make it worse 
Don't just stand there looking pretty 
I could do that myself 
Just find me something bad 
And then get me some help 
Cause we're gonna need a little of my innocent blood to spill 
And if I can't make it work tonight nobody ever will 
Makes me wish some stranger could know how hard I tried 
But I tried and I failed like I lived and I died 

Baby get your jacket with the nice think lining 
I'm going to put some things in there that I don't plan on finding 
I plan to say some stupid things I hope that you won't be minding
Keep in ming they are just stupid 
That don't mean I'm lying 
And the lies that I get back I don't plan on buying 
I haven't really got the knack but that don't keep me from trying 
And don't think twice if later tonight you find me crying 
Cause I'm trying and I'm failing like I'm living and I'm dying

The Wayward McCoys - Living And Dying

My darling don't you cry 
Don't you even pretend 
My own wicked character 
Not even I would defend 
I'm a horrible person 
And an even worse friend 
And I believe I'll be punished 
When I reach the end 

On the day I first saw you 
My heart split in two 
I held on to the small piece 
Gave the big piece to you 
When you said I was too late 
I thought my life was through 
But I wanted you so bad girl 
I knew what I would do 

Just creep off in the night 
Covered in black 
Taking only a knife 
To leave in his back 
Same knife he left in me 
When I was caged and trapped 
But now I'm free and I'm sober 
And I'm one angry rat 

The poison that you gave me 
No longer makes me sick 
It did make me go blind 
But it made my skin thick 
And as you're falling asleep 
You'll hear my fingernails click 
You can try something clever 
But you'd better think quick 

One thing I hope you take with you 
From this life to the next 
Some creatures hold grudges 
If you disturb their nest 
And a rat like myself 
Well I can cause quite a mess 
When it's dark in the house 
And you lay down to rest 

So my darling don't you cry 
Don't you even pretend 
My own wicked soul 
I would not make you defend 
Still I can't keep from smiling 
As the hangman ties my hands 
Because I love you and if I had to 
I would do it all again 

I'd do it all again 
I'd do it all again 
I would do it all again

Rat's Last Words

Honey the sound of your voice stops me dead in my tracks 
Rattles on my heart strings and takes me back 
You sound just like a spirit I used to know 
Just can't believe to take that thing everywhere you go 

And all you got to do is open up and let it out 
When I hear that sound there ain't nothing else that counts 
You know I go out wandering when I think I hear it at night 
With my ear to the wind and my eyes all glazed over white 

Well I walk all the way from the farm to the city 
The way you play with me sometimes it's a pity 
Cause then the sun comes up and I don't hear you anymore 
Sometimes I wonder what you send me wandering for 

When you've already got me wrapped around your thumb 
You don't even have to call my name and I'll come 
Just promise me baby, someday when the thrill is gone 
Tell me honey, you won't stop singing them songs 

And I'll love you until the day I die 
You sing the blues sometimes I want to cry 
You know you make a mess out of me with a sad melody 
Keep on singing like that and you know I'll never leave 

My baby sings the blues 
In the middle of the night 
Think I hear her on the wind sometimes…

She Sings The Blues

Girl I know just how bad it can get 
You haven't even seen the worst of it yet 
You can cry if you want to 
But you're only getting wet 
So when you get finished crying 
Try not to forget 
That you're not alone in your misery 
When you're down and out that's when you're gonna find me 
When you say life has no meaning 
I'll be the one to disagree 
I don't ever want want you to be too bitter and broken down to see 
Just how easy it is if you want to believe 
Thought you knew it all now nothing's what it seems 

So the the next time you get sad and blue 
Tell you exactly what I want you to do 
Dig me up and let me care for you 
If you can’t see it now you're gonna find out that it's true 
I'm gonna take you out 
Make you forget all about it 
When it comes to a heartache girl you know you're better off without it 
And it's just that simple 
Even though I know you doubt it 
If you can't hear me now I'm gonna stand right up and shout it 
Don't matter what I said it only matters how it sounded 
Funny now we're alone and it still feels so crowded

How Bad It Can Get

I'd really love to come to the phone 
But right now I'm a little tied down 
And I'd really love to take you to a movie or to dinner 
Or maybe just one or the other 
But I would understand if you're a little bit unsure 
And I you know think you know 
What it is I'm looking for 
And you watch me as I'm breaking now 

Girl I think you know 
What side your bread is buttered 
On the radio 
You won't find any other fools 
Who love you 
Like I do 
No other 
And anywhere you'll go 
I think you'll see it's true 
Ain't nobody love you quite the same way as I do 

I'd really love to look you in the eye 
But right now I just haven't got the time 
And I'd really love to take you for a long walk on the beach 
I'd like to keep you in my reach 
Cause I've still got a lot to learn 
And you've still got a lot to teach 
So if I keep you here with me 
Will I finally make you see 
Just what it is that I believe in now

Can't Escape The Airwaves

Hey little baby 
What ya doing there looking so sweet? 
I think I'd give my left hand just to get you in my passenger seat 
You have got to be the sweetest thing I've ever had the pleasure to see 
And when you flash that smile you don't know what you're doing to me 
Hey little baby, what ya doing there looking so sweet? 

Hey little girl 
Can I take you back to my home? 
You know it wouldn't be right for you to spend another night alone 
I want to be the one to follow you wherever you may happen to go 
And being with you is the only thing that soothes my soul 
Hey little baby can I take you back to my home? 

And now you're blowing my mind 
And you're not even trying 
Girl you are the feeling I've been trying to find 
It's like I never lived before it 
Now I'm ready to kill for it 
I can do anything with you by my side
