If you wanna drive a big limousine
I'll buy the longest one you've ever seen
I'll buy you tall tall trees
and all the water in the seas
I'm a fool fool fool for you
If you wanna own a great big mansion
Well I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall tall trees
and all the water in the seas
I'm a fool fool fool for you
I'm all a fool over you
It may take awhile
But I'll prove its true
If its lovin you want I got it
If its money you want I'll get it
I'll buy you tall tall trees
and all the water in the seas
I'm a fool fool fool for you
If you wanna take a trip across the ocean
I'll travel anywhere you get the notion
I'll buy you tall tall trees
and all the water in the seas
I'm a fool fool fool for you
I'm all a fool over you
It may take awhile
But I'll prove its true
If its lovin you want I got it
If its money you want I'll get it
I'll buy you tall tall trees
and all the water in the seas
I'm a fool fool fool for you

Make what you can
out of nothing
keep bluffing
your way to extinction
youre a sick fuck to think that this
unlike anything else
will last forever
building rock anthems
no jigsaw exterior
you see what you miss
but you cant stand to be near her
its bigger than that you realize
but short sided impulses
own whats left of your dignity
tell yourself quietly
dont plow the field yet
youre waiting to grow
a new life from restrospect
you know free agency pays little in the long run
but you just dont feel like your legs are that tired yet
friends and go betweens
sing like canaries crushed in leaves
is this the thanks you get
somewhere thats sweet
maybe someday we will meet
and I can thank you
without strings
all these before's
have been drilled on long after
its all just leverage
when you're sure that its over
the streets go blurry
like a movie that you saw once
minutes freeze
but you cant collect the corners still
she used to whisper your name like a refrain
and when she held you
you know you felt safer
but your demons are fucking huge
you've stacked your deck to lose
you say theres nothing you can do
well we all know youre lying
friends and go between
sing like canaries crushed in spring
is this the thanks you get
you get what you put in
I guess thats bullshit in the end
written under florescent lights
that replace
the sun
at night

I'm goin down to the greyhound station
I'm gonna buy a ticket to ride
I'm gonna find me that lady
two or three kids and sit down by her side
ride til the sun comes up and down
round me bout 2 or 3 times
smoking cigarettes in the last seat
trying to hide my sorrow from the people I meet
and get along with it all
where the people say yall
sing a song with a friend
change the shape that im in
and get back in the game and start playing again
Id like to stay
but I might have to go
and start over again
I might go back down to texas
go to somewhere that I've never been
get up in the morning
go out at night
I won't have to go home
get used to being alone
change the words to this song
start singing again
I'm tired of running around looking for answers
to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories
just to have somewhere to go
count the days and the nights that it takes
to get back in the saddle again
feed the pigeons some clay
turning night into day
start talking again
when I know what to say
I'm going down to the greyhound station
I'm gonna buy a ticket to ride
I'm gonna find me that lady
two or three kids and sit down by her side
ride til the sun comes up and down round me
bout 2 or 3 times
smoking cigarettes in the last seat
sing my song for the people I meet
and get along with it all
where the people say yall
feed the pigeons some clay
turning night into day
start talking again
when I know what to say
