Disc 3 lyrics

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine
In between I get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride open and kind
This draws a line
Sorry to coin a phrase
On either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time
Racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes
Forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby
Chorus:
A charmed life it is

Did you ever hear
The one about last year
It was all a lie
Ain't it funny how the time flies
What we gonna do baby
What is left for us to prove
I've never stolen nothing, not a thing
Tried to stay away form this year's
Big thing
Ain't as easy as it seems
To find a mutual dream
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less

Save me
From this season's dead air
Take me
Blind naked scared
Want you to burn me, burn me baby
Cover your eyes with my ashes
C'mon why don't you pray for me
Sit back and watch my divine spark flash

Chorus:
Gone
Good riddance I'm gone
Gone in a wasted way
Wasted my way I'm gone
Push and pull on me baby
With your fingernails full of fur
I want you to stab me

Written by: R. Robinson & C. Robinson

I forgot I found you tied up and swallowed
A mess with the magic and the knot
You touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite ya
Sin, skin, sounds wrong but it's not

Chorus:
Everybody says that you're such a pity
Well baby, they, they out to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya baby, they, they out to know

Written by: Ed and Lonnie Young

Well I'm gonna buy you a watch and chain
I'm gonna buy you a watch and chain
I'm gonna buy you a watch and chain
And do cool stuff for you baby
And do cool stuff for you

I'm gonna buy you a Chevrolet
I'm gonna buy you a Chevrolet
I'm gonna buy you a Chevrolet
And do cool stuff for you
Yeah do cool stuff for you

Gonna build you a house and home

Written by: R. Robinson & C. Robinson

Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear
Make my honey
Grind that salt before the rains come this year
Make it all muddy

So now you have called
And now you want to ring my neck
Oh baby you talk so tight
Tell me now who's all wet

I could kiss your promiscuous mind

My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear
Make us all alone

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again
Open your eyes
This time it's sink or it's swim
No sermons on ascending
No verdict on deceit
No selfish memorandum
No confusion for me
Chorus:
Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools
Have mercy baby
And hand me downs
It was just a few years ago
You'd hand me ups and map
Right out of town
But I would let it slide
Like mercury

To my low down downtown
Money waster
Your only saving grace
Is that I like to taste ya
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make ya
You got a .38 and your book of revelations
I got a .44 and a lead of temptation
Chorus:
I am a rounder, like to round around
Two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders
Like the bars that stay open after hours

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile
You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another read song
Funny but I bet you never left home
Chorus:
On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach
Seconds until sunrise

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away
Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck
A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that
Chorus:
Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me

I am a cobweb
In the corner of the room
I tell you I built myself a beat baby
So c'mon and cry me a monsoon

Get busy on it
And make it deep

Chorus:
Imagine how surprised all the kids will be
Empty bottles, saviors they crawl
That has always been and will always be
There's a hornet's nest in my head,
Come and save me

If I don't say nothing
You say now tell us what to do

I've been lost in the headlights
All night long
Said I've felt taller, yes I heard
The dealer's song
Say babe don't mark me absent
I only missed out by a fraction
Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on this ground
Chorus:
Say don't pretend to me
I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
Thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong now I see
