And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
____________________

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years, she was here
And I took her for granted, I was so cavalier
Now, the way that it stands
She's out of my hands

So, I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now, I've learned that love needs expression

(___________) Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
(___________) To the song they're playing on the radio
(Let's sway) While colour lights up your face
(Let's sway) Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall, into my arms and tremble like a flower

The camera pans the cocktail glass
Behind a blind of plastic plants
I found the lady with the fat diamond ring
Then you know I can't remember a damn thing
I think it's one of those déjà vu things
Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me somethin'
Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it
I don't know, I doubt it
Subterranean by design
I wonder what I would find

I thumbed my way from LA back to Knoxville

Uh-huh
Extra cheese
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Save a piece for me

Pizza party at your house
I went just to check it out
Nineteen extra larges
What a shame, no one came
Just us eatin' all alone
You said, "Take the pizza home"
"No sense lettin' all this
Go to waste", so then I faced

Pizza all day and every day
This cheese round the clock is gettin' me blocked
And I sure don't care for irregular-
Ity, tell me

Why'd you have to go and make me so
Constipated? 'Cause right now I'd do

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage, to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in ________________
More crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense

It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"

La, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da da-dum

Sing us a song, you're the _________
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright

I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
We're all alone
Smokin' his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything"
Where were you
When everything was fallin' apart?
Where all my days
Were spent by a telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
____________, ____________
Lyin' on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?

"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

Wish we didn't have to meet, ________
Wish we didn't have to kiss, ________
Wish we didn't have to be afraid to show the world that we're in love
Till we have the right to meet, openly
Till we have the right to kiss, openly

I don't know what he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car to get to you
I'd walk a thousand miles
I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart?
I don't know, but if you were my girl
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

But my love is __________________
Without you I don't think I could live
I wish I could give the world to you
But love is __________________ (Give)

When you talk (When you talk)
