Under Control

I've seen the road
I know where it goes
Don't you tell me that the one I chose is beaten any more ragged than yours.
This ain't your fight
You've been wound up tight
I've seen you coming 'round my front door singing
Won't you come out swinging tonight.
I get the feeling it's all under control
Why do you taunt me?
Why do you care at all?
You'll never get what you came for.
You've seen it all (you've seen it all)
You're ten feel tall
And you get your kicks from the kids in the sticks that taunted you in the hall.
That just ain't me
I ain't the one who bleeds
When all your chambers are empty and you're standing all alone in the street.
I get the feeling it's all under control
Why do you taunt me?
Why do you care at all?
You'll never get what you came for.
**Guitar Solo**
I get the feeling it's all under control
Why do you taunt me?
Why do you care at all?
I get the feeling it's all under control
Why do you taunt me?
Why do you care at all?
You'll never get what you came for.
I'll just come out swinging.
Pardon me if I get reckless (hey!)
They say it's part of the business (hey!)
But if home is where the heart is (hey!)
Then you must be homeless (hey!)
You're just part of the sickness (hey!)
Have you ever been speechless? (hey!)
Lord knows, it would please us (hey!)
'Cause I've got it under control.

Hold Me

Mrs. Carter died in '42
Caught a case of the Gypsy Blues
I've heard stories about men without mothers
But I never did think it true
Late night, out chasing tail
Bobby befriended the Hennessy
Ran out into the middle of the street
And let out a wail of a plea (singin' now...)
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Violet Park was a merry-go-round
The whole town's had a ride
Just a pawn in this dirty game
How lonely she felt inside
Never had a good man
Never had a good friend by her side
Papa said it was her own damn fault
Felt guilty every time she cried (singing now)
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Late night at the bus stop,
With the rain drops crowding 'round
Bobby Carter and Violet Park,
Sittin' in the dark, on the edge of town.
Reading lonely like an open book,
It was fate without the charm.
All it took was one loving look,
And they were huddled in each others' arms
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me

Bones

Wandering 'round the back streets
Of a broken little city, and I'm gone
So far gone
Chasing all my childish dreams,
And laughing at the things that I've done wrong
Oh, I've done wrong
Creeping little voice inside my head
Whispering things like, "You'd be better off dead."
All these windows filled with lives led
And I could be just like them.
Feeling like some company tonight
(You're not alone)
Back me up, I need a fight
(Take me home)
Wake me up before it gets light
(Shake off my bones)
Tomorrow comes and I'll be whole
Driving myself crazy, all's for sale and getting lazy
So it goes, oh my woes
Wish I had a simple mind, a simple life
But that's a lie I know, Oh I know
Fell asleep on a bench at 4am
Dreamed as only a broken man can
Plastered, painted grin upon my face
I know there's no better place
Feeling like some company tonight
(You're not alone)
Back me up, I need a fight
(Take me home)
Wake me up before it gets light
(Shake off my bones)
(Shake off my bones)
Tomorrow comes and I'll be whole
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Feeling like some company tonight
(You're not alone)
Back me up, I need a fight
(Take me home)
Wake me up before it gets light
(Shake off my bones)
(Shake off my bones)
(Shake off my bones)
Tomorrow comes and I'll be whole

River Song

Before I knew the river, I jumped in young & dumb
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
There's something to be said about where a man comes
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Can't blame me for trying to fight the ebb & flow
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Water goes as water goes, she took my hand, I followed
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Locked inside another box that someone else has made
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
I boxed my way from 17 with nothing left to say
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Dreams of floating down the river call me night & day
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
I answered the call, I found my peace, and I drift away
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
All I ever needed was to swim amongst my friends
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Never lost & never found, just drifting 'round the bend
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Never scared of life or death, or where the river ends
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
She teached me all the things a river can
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Take me home
Oh take me home
Wherever the river goes
She knows
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa
Whooaaaa whoaaaa whoaaaaaa

I wait around for days on end
For something more than my pretend
Sometimes I worry that you've gone and left me stranded in my head
Where do we go to reconnect?
I know you know I'm desperate
If now I sleep will you be floating in the ether of my dreams
You left me when the winter came
Crept back in Spring to call my name
All my fears have gone away
Oh sweet melody, stay!
I write your whispers on my hand
So good to hear your voice again
Amused I'm falling for my castle in the sand
I know you'll leave me again
I know I'm not the only one
Who lies and waits for you to come
All my fears have gone away
Oh sweet melody, stay!
**Guitar Solo**
Some day I wish I could be the muse for you.
All my fears have gone away
Oh sweet melody, stay!
All my fears have gone away
Oh sweet melody, stay!
