Lyrics

There's a god in hell
I see god when I close my eyes
here on Earth as well
here on Earth as well

I was lost in confusion
down on my luck for a spell
I found truth in a sing that I heard
here on Earth as well
here on Earth as well

and they say heaven help you
you can do what you want
but don't leave when it's done
and they say time will heal you
but you need more than faith to get by
yes you need more than faith to get by

the man said Adam got justice
he was stupid and he fell
I said I fell once too in a dream that I had
here on Earth as well
here on Earth as well yeah

Lyrics

We were always talking
under the assumption that I'd care
nothing could be further from my mind
we were always searching
under the assumption that it was there
turn around and I'll be hard to find

and it gets harder and harder every day
things we never do and never say
we just go on talking to keep from crying
you say you're killing me
we're just killing time

we were always reconciling
under the assumption
that it was right
goes to show how wrong it really can be
we were always
always trying
under the assumption we saw the light
all these stupid things that I never could see (ch)

and it gets harder and harder every day
little things they just get in the way
we just start out loving and end up lying
you say you're killing me
we're just killing time

Lyrics

The glasses were drained and the sun was rising
the dealer was waiting for his fine gold break
over in the corner sat the idiot stranger
at the seconds away from rolling in the take
oh you know how it seems
the losers talk so loud
watch out for the one who lives in the crowd
I guess I'm just lucky again
I guess I'm just lucky again

over in the seventh round, down at Caesar's Palace
the every favorite was Bruce unto the throne
at the final bell
he was flat on the canvas
I picked up my winnings and went home
yeah the world that everyone chases their dreams
the pull is never quite as down as it seems
I guess I'm just lucky again

I guess I'm just lucky again
oh I guess I'm just lucky again
(guitar)

It came to a halt
..
and it felt just like mercy
I guess that all good things must come to an end
but mistakes will happen
and the wrong man was punished
I packed my bags and moved around the bend
yeah it seems the losers talk so loud
watch out for the man that lives in the crowd
yeah maybe it's all just faith
or riding all out of luck
another town, another easy buck
I guess I'm just lucky again
I guess I'm just lucky again
oh I guess I'm just lucky again, again, again, again and again
I guess I'm just lucky again
guess I'm just lucky again...

Lyrics

Ch.:
Weathered and torn
weathered and torn
hey baby, I'm on the floor
my my, ripped and worn
it's down to me, I'm weathered and torn

she was a stranger, that didn't matter
I didn't need her, but I had to have her
send for a doctor, hit the press on the phone
she's gone, I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

I tried to phone her, the numbers been changed
and I tried to find her, I was so strange
will somebody please throw me a bone
cause I'm in the doghouse now
I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

oh I tried to phone her, the numbers been changed
and I tried to find her, I was so strange
will somebody please throw me a bone
cause I'm in the doghouse now
I'm weathered and torn

Ch.: weathered and torn...

Lyrics

The dealer laid his cards down on the table
and said that you can pick them up oh if you're able
and that's all that I remember today
except the way the dealer left as I walked away

well I found myself in the middle of a strange hotel
it might've been daylight but I couldn't really tell
and I was cuddled up next to an empty bottle of wine
alone I must have had a wonderful time

Ch.:
all those memories where do they go, go, go
all those memories where do they go, go, go
somebody please, I got to know, know, know
who's stealing the best years of my life
yeah of my life

the newspaper snacked up against my door
early this morning
and a thing I saw there caught my eyes
without any warning
there was a man with a glazed look
stared up from page three
and the caption below said that the man there was me
oh
how could it be

Ch.: all those memories...
yeah of my life

I found myself at the pearly gate today
and the man up there sent me straight down
straight away
I said "am I responsible for the things I didn't know that I done?"
he said "ignorance is no excuse I'm afraid my son, my son, my son"

Ch.: all those memories...

yeah... of my life
yeah of my life
yeah of my, my life, my life
of my life la la la, la la la la la....

Lyrics

When I woke up in the back of the sixtyfour Ford
I was feeling I was already dead
there was light shining in through the passenger door
and the sidewinder blowin off in my head
when they took me on down to the station
and was writin directly my rights
I was lookin for some cold elation and I was staring into the light

Ch.:
and I say hey what do you know, there I am again
and I say when the time hits slow
I'm running from the memory again

when they found me in the back of the penny arcade
I was searching on the floor for a dime
and I was thinkin about all the plans I made
oh I never really got me the time
no one ever want to hear your apologies
when they've heard it a hundred times before
it all come down to analogy
and the side that's winning the war

Ch.: and I say...
(guitar)
Ch.: and I say...

when I picked up the phone it was the sanitor's son
his father was in for a freak
he started to ask me about the things I'd done
and I figured he was never to leave
yeah seems that some times the harder you try
the deeper that you get stuck
and all the time I thought I was dragging the line
I was really only pushing my luck

Ch.: and I say... (2X)

Lyrics

I dreamed last night I was born a hundred years ago
But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two

It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

Well there's never been a man who's been anymore than bones in sack
But it doesn't take much to hold the possibilities back

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile

When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile

Lyrics

Good times come and then move on
bad times leave just when you think that they're gone

Ch.:
trying hard to change the view
there's nothing you can really do
ah ah ah and then it hits you again

washed up crown behind the screen
selling back the pieces of the broken dreams

Ch.: trying hard...

ah ah ah then it hits you again
hits you again...
(guitar)

good times move and then move on
and the bad times they just waits
until they think that you're gone

Ch.: trying hard...
ah ah ah, and then it hits you again (3X)
oh no no no no no
and then it hits you again
no no no no no no no no yeah
and then it hits you again

Lyrics

Had to make a trade....wouldn't take it on faith
top of the line...beg, borrow, steal and a fast escape
something bout a house of bricks...solitude and a pint of gin
wait till the bricks are dry, and start all over again

played for a fool...what can I say ? no regrets
something about finishing school... something that you ain't learned yet
blood! blood money!
blood! blood money!

Rich man drives a Lincoln...lives way uptown
says that he's been thinking... so he lays his money down
I got a big ol truck... tape deck, speakers in the back
take a walk after last call... and work it out on a sneak attack-tack yeah

played for a fool...what can I say ? no regrets
something about finishing school... something that you ain't learned yet
blood! blood money!
blood! blood money!
