My intuition said it was
My intuition said it was fair
All you should know there's
Not enough to go around

Here they go again
I can see 'em
As they try they try to take it out on me
Here they go again I can
Watch closer now
I can watch closer now

They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me
Guess I go down

Said it wasn't but I guess it was
Say it wasn't but I guess it ends

Here they go again
I can, try, try

My Intuition knocked again fair
All you should know by now is there's
Not enough to go around

But I never go that way
The other half of me said I should
Throw it down the drain
Throw it down the drain

They can't find enough
To take enough from me
They can't find enough
To take enough from me

I've seen the hordes of war
Looking down that drain
At your heart

. . .



Here you go
Say it that she's ill
Here you go
Marriage and kids and
Drug
Addiction
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere
Money always sees
Money always draws
The light
Hope you can see
Through the beggars
In the clear
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost in this
So far from home
Far from home
Do you happen to know
Where I am from?
I'm lost
Far from mum
All the lies aside
I believe I am the
Luckiest person alive
Hell we all die
Sometimes
Hell we all try
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
Somewhere
Stand on my feet
So I can see yours
Standing on my hands
I found my way home

. . .



I am like powder
I am like relaxation
I am the snow
I am the snow
I am the snow

I dig in this ocean
And I try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes?
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself?
Well that may be your best defense

I am from the moon
I am from the moon
I am from the moon
So they say
So they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another

Great expectations
Great expectations
So they say
So they say
So they say
I am the snow
I am the snow

. . .



In the light that I
Feel
I see crucifixes and
Expectancy
And I feel
So safe
Foot by foot
I feel like a
Beat cast-off
I feel so
Ashamed
Top expert on the
Supernatural
Tell us oh how do we
Catch a ghost in the
Dark
10 years richer with my
Magnet shield
I feel
Crucified
Backwards
Not too close
And I still feel so
Safe
Being olderly
But feel like I'm passing
I winning
I winning
And I still feel so
Ashamed
Top expert on the
Supernatural
Tell us oh how do we
Make it in the shade
Hey made of shame
Hope you don't hate it
In the shade
Like a ghost

. . .



Like I heard her
Backwards saying
I can take one thousand
Showers
And never be clean
Of course she lied away
She is ten times heavier
Stronger, then you found
The grave
Or ever was
He's got it down name
You know what I need
Who doesn't lie?
You know what I mean
If I'm never in
Without you
Like you don't know
I am so, angry
I am so, at ease
I feel just like
Some great big disease
I think you need
Ice water
But the only thing that
You really hate
Is all its emptiness
Ah, you'll swim
And I will drink myself to
Death
If I'm never in
Down with you

. . .


(Hank Williams)

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Someone else stood by your side
She looked so satisfied
I can't help it
I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealin'
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old-time feelin'
I can't help it
I am still in love with you

It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Oh heaven only knows how much I miss you
I can't help it

. . .



Where do the dreams of babies go
'Cause you know they're all so good
And they're also gone so fast

Keep all your guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
'Cause you know she's pretty good too

Where is the night so warm and so strange
That no one is afraid of themselves
Pick, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky fields of such polluted thinking

Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where are the dreams of the babies going
'Cause you know they're all going fast
Take, take as much as you can
'Cause you know it's going so fast
You know it's so good.

Where are the many mountains so brave
That they do not explode over everyone
Pick, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky field
Of such polluted thinking

Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets

Keep your guns at home
Keep your guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
You know she's all good too
She's pretty good

Where are the dreams of babies going

. . .



Looking out across the next few days
I can see, nothing
Looking out across the next few year
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
Looking out across the next few days
Smoke's gonna clear slowly
Looking out across the next few days
I can see, they're gonna go by fast
They're gonna go by
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of successful things
I'm not made of success
I've got what it takes
I've got what it takes
To rest
To rest
To rest
But I'm still around
Looking across the faces I've know
I can see
Nothing
Looking out across my family members
I know they miss me
I know they must miss me
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do around the house
Never had a lot of fun
Better things to do without
Lying for, me
So I won't hear a thing
To bat me back
So I'll notice some grave thing

. . .

Oh I see, sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is over
Will you tell me that you've always been thinking of me

Indirectly you say to me the hand of a night is not a hand for me
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard from another man
A wealthy man

Oh I still see sunny days
Oh I go that far
You and the night is dragging on
Maybe I will dream that you will tell me
You've always been thinking of me

Indirectly you say to me
The hand is not a hand for me
Indirectly you say again the hand of
The night is not
A hand for me

That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man
A wealthy man
That's the most sad I've ever heard
From another man

. . .



I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long
I've checked
I've checked to find
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not for you one
There's no telling how long
Go figure that out
Figure that out
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I've checked
I've checked to find
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your own head
I'll check
I'll check tonight
I am not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
I am not what you want
There's no eyes in your head
In your head
At least I cannot see them
In your head
I'm not what you want
I'll get
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Tonight
I'm not what you want
There's no telling how long I'll be here
Be here
