Consolers Of The Lonely lyrics

Im not sure if theres a point to this story
But Im going to tell it again
So many other people try to tell the tale
Not one of them knows the end

It was a junk-house in South Carolina
Held a boy the age of ten
Along with his older brother Billy
And a mother and her boyfriend
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
That were given to him when he was young

(laughing, talking, "double track that")

Haven't seen the sun in weeks
My skin is getting pale
Haven't got a mind left to speak
And I'm skinny as a rail

Lightbulbs are getting dim
My interest is starting to wane
I'm told it's everything a man could want
And I shouln't complain

Conversation's getting dull
There's a constant buzzing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and null

It's a decision that was made between you and me
And the division that was lately this odyssey, believe me
I'm bad enough and I guess we're doing fine
But I'm scared of something more that is on the line

Well I got five on the five
And I been taking time, doing it all along
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh

If we keep it alive
I'll ignore all the signs and keep driving home
Right back to you, yeah

Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up

Had enough of these, modern times
About to drive me out of my mind
And you know this, too well
I'm hold up in my little cell
Yeah

Hold up
Hold up
Hold up
Hold up

Whoa!
Friends took me to a freak show
But I think I've seen it all before
Well, can I get a look at you girl
Maybe take a peak in your world
Yeah

Hold up
Hold up
Hold up

Go ahead, Go ahead
And smash it on the floor
Take whatevers left
And take it with you out the door

See if I cry
See if I shed a single sorry tear
I cant say that its been that great
No, in fact its been a wasted worried year

Everybody sees
And everyone agrees
That you and I are wrong
And its been that way too long

Take it as it comes
And be thankful when its done
Theres so many ways to act

You look pretty in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness.
You never speak so I have to guess
You're not free.

Yeah, maybe when you're old enough
You'll realize that you're not so tough
And some days the seas get rough,
You'll see.

You're too young to have it figured out.
You think you know what you're talkin about.
You think it all will work itself out,
But we'll see.

Pull this Blanket off of me
Maybe it'll help me see
The things I believe to be true

I'm paying for what should be free
But i don't buy what they're telling me
and i wanna believe in you

(vocalizing)

Its hard stick to your guns
When everyones having fun
Makes me wanna run i don't know what to do

Not everything is what it seems
Maybe these boys dont have dreams

Been having bad times
And I've been paying dues
Got shoes and money
And good friends too

Always play to win
But always seem to lose
That's why I think I got
A rich kid's blues

That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

And I know what is going on
And I know, but I'll wait til dawn
And I know just exactly what is on your mind
Jumping back, I know if I'm still gonna lose you

I seem to think I think I got a little situation
So listen to me sister listen maybe you can hear
I think I gave a lot of problems my consideration
But not for me they always seem to be for someone else

Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation
What do I get from them I don't get anything at all
I'm like a trash can holding all the information

In the heat of the desert sun
on the blistering trail
An appaloosa and a wanted man sprung from jail

Slow in motion and shadowless
The switch and the spurs
Every living thing
With a fatal sting
Bark and rattle this curse

The rider hallucinates
The snapping hooves on the sand
Spits a venom dream
Recalls the strangest dream
and a broken hand

The saddle's spotted with sweat and blood

Well you impress me so completely
I start obsessing to hear from you
Whatever you do, you do sweetly
It takes a lot to not take from you

You're not secure enough to tell me
Your first impression of all these clowns
So you'll be tricky enough to compel me
To take the lead and to speak out loud
(Yeah, ooh, yeah...)

Speak to me and don't speak softly
Talk to me and let me know

How you gonna top yourself
When there is nobody else
How you gonna do it by yourself
'Cause Im not gonna be here to help you
Yeah

Alright
How you gonna top yourself
When there is nobody else
How you gonna do it by yourself
'Cause Im not gonna he here to help you

How you gonna do it alone
When I dont pick up my phone
Ill go give a dog a bone
But Im not gonna stick around to help you

Hey
Alright

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right you might
Comprehend me.
And why do you feel the need to tease me?
Why don't you turn it around,
It might be easier to please me.

And there's always another point of view,
A better way to do the things we do.
And how can you know me and I know you
If nothing is true?

What do you think that you are doing? (Ooo...)
Who is the fool, the fool
