I've been waiting all my life to find an open door. Now it's right in front of me, I won't walk through at all. I've been waiting all my life to find another voice. Now it lives inside of me, I wanna spit it out.

Well I can't write songs when I'm tired my words lose their meaning and nothing gets my inspired when I have a lunatic for a friend She dragged me kicking and screaming into manhood with a plan Now these thoughts keep me from sleeping when I have a lunatic for a friend She takes a lot out of me but I guess it's what I need I'm one step from bohemia and I can't keep from stumbling down but I find no love is sweeter than the one you can't do without I'm a burden when I'm impatient but you take the heat pretty well You might not agree with this statement but you have a lunatic for a friend She takes a lot out of me but I guess it's what I need

James Pt. 2 03:35
When you were young, did you see the world as full of greed and willing girls? Did you raise hell throughout the day and maybe do some lines to stay awake? When you were young and on your bike did the wind shape your youthful eyes? Did it shelter them so you could clearly see your innocence die before 23? There were bumps in the road that you could have avoided. But you rode on through them, endowed by your choices. If there's anything that you take from this it's that all your dread is impermanent Keep that in mind when you feel the weight of work's burden and all those hopeless days Days you thought would never end have come and gone again and again.

I don't have to be stoned to enjoy these songs anymore I've broken every bone that I don't need Well, it seems that joy was always patiently waiting but how am I to know? I don't have to be shut down and closed off anymore I've given all that I can bear to lose Well, it seems that joy was always patiently waiting oh, but really how am I to know? Well it seems that joy has always been waiting for me and it seems the worst of times has passed me by Oh, but how am I to know?

She was appointed by the committee at large and voted the best woman for the job Well she took the gig and worked from home so her first born son would never be alone. At home she watered the garden on the hill It was surrounded by a fence with gaps to fill She had a dog; a collie that was a runner It sent her up and down the street every god damn summer Married twice or three times before she finally found a young man of worth Once divorced, he was a Mid West defector just like her Oh she lost it when cancer reared its head She took to drinking at least a bottle before bed She bit her tongue and swallowed the pain and never let on that she was deathly afraid Running through the halls of the hospital she said, "The cancer is dead!" The staff rejoiced and threw her a party; it seems she'd paid all her debts She said, "Cancer was just a molehill, now give me a mountain to climb. I'll stand at the top of a hill and shower the world with love from my hands The ink in the chest, that's how it is."
