The sun goes down on a lonesome town Down on the ground and down all around Down on the bound and down on the wound we drown Yea we drown yea we drown Read the writing on the wall We're all fighting all fighting to fall I'm waiting on a phone call from god And where's god? Where's god? In Desperate Times Desperate lives And Desperate time of mine I walk the streets all covered in snow I can't find no place to go And I don't want to grow old and blind Born to live and born to die Born to truth and raised to lie Born to question and wonder oh why oh why? In Desperate Times Desperate lives In desperate time of mind Hey there girl won't you walk with me My pockets are empty but my love is free And I need you desperately tonight And I don't really care what your daddy says If you don't really care what my past has been I do wid a win to sin tonight Chorus

I sit at home on a Wednesday and I paint I lay awake at night and I paint the pain and baby, oh baby sometimes I think I'm going crazy And me too you know I'm the craziest of the bunch I'm all confused I'm outa lunch and outa touch Time rolls slow in the daytime and I'm dreaming I see a landscape of mountains and its pleasin' It's so busy, so busy And it's like an angel in the snow Like an echo with the vibration It's like an angel in the snow And I don't know I sit at home on a Thursday and I faint And there's plastic all around me, it's a plastic rape I watch the earth and it's dying And superman he ain't flying, no more I bet it's real hard to get old mama Oh ain't it real hard to get old mama And sometimes I think what it'd be like if you died I lay in the night and I start to cry And I can't stop the tears though Even though its the fear though And mama I love you You did the best that you could Chorus Sometimes I see the whole world is on fire And I see little kids try and they get higher and higher And I turn on my TV and I'm just another buyer Oh but when I got a show you know that I'll make a flier And what's it all mean? I'm not a machine

No More 04:38
Winter winds are blowing cold now And I got nowhere to go And I walk the streets a freezin' I got a chill down to my soul No home And I roam Alone And I had it all at one time Then I gave it all away I traded it all for a bottle but That bottles gone away Now it's gone just the same And I'm sparing for change No no no more Just take me from this world No no no no more Lord I can't take it anymore Now I'm laying down in the alley In a strange and foreign town And if you see my sweet love Sally Tell her I'm lost and I ain't found Yea I'm lost and I ain't found I'm lost and I ain't found Chorus Now I'm laying down in the gutter And it's all that I've got now And if you see my long lost brother Won't you tell him I wear the crown Won't you tell him I wear the crown Yea all the way down And I don't want to die in the gutter And I don't want to die all alone I cry out for my mother But the streets my only home Yea the streets my only home And I'm dying all alone Chorus

Sometimes I can't get out of bed Sometimes I can't even get out of bed But I wake up in the sunshine I wake up and it's alright And time goes bye In my life In your life and I'm reminded by The skyline in your eye And it's a beautiful day in Boston It's a beautiful day and I'm lost in my head Time goes bye in my life, in your life And I'm reminded by the skyline In your eyes And I see you in a photograph But all that's left is pictures and glass And fragments of memories Scattered in debris Its a tragic soliloquy Madness insanity But I still have all the times we had The laughter, the chatter, the good and the bad The party and the morning after Everyday I get a little less sadder Chorus

What if Jesus was gay? Would you still be afraid Would you still pray If Jesus Christ was gay? Would you call him a sinner This is a race with no winner And your a blind eyed grinner I'll set the level on beginner Would you still throw rocks If he sucked on cocks And I don't mean to shock I'm just provoking thought Chorus Would you torture and tease? Would you sting like bees? Would you live free? Would you be a fairy? Would you open your mind? Would you run and hide? Would you make him cry? Would you take it from behind? Chorus Would you let him get married To a girl named Harry? Would you beat him in the alley Or would you endorse the gay rally? Would you hang him from a cross? Would you take him off? Would you blast a buck shot? Tell him to burn and rot? Chorus
