chronic pain
just when I think it's over is when it crops up again
everyone's a doctor and no one can explain
the intricate mirage
of my sabotage
trying to get out of Dodge
before I lose my camouflage
and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know
Mary Jane
is the only one around this town that's keeping me sane
she's balanced on the balls of her feet looking out at the rain
sifting through the debris
of a tragedy
she's determined to believe in a reasoned reality
and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know
I'm so vain
I think this song is probably about me but how would I know
cause once I put it out in the world I've got to let it go
if you don't clean up your roots
they'll bear bitter fruits
there is no excuse for not pulling those tangles loose
and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know I'm one of many
and I know it wasn't built for me
and I know it isn't healthy
and I know it wasn't meant to be
and I know, and I know

I know you had a plan in mind for me
I know you had a grand design for me
but it didn't make me happy
coloring inside the lines
when my mind's eye saw such vibrancy
begging not to be defined
so I am asking your permission
I am asking your permission
yes I am asking for your permission
to rock and roll
I want you to know I still love you
I hear the harmony between us too
but I've come to feel so haunted
dwelling on what might have been
this isn't the life I wanted
a desperate dream that doesn't seem to end
so I am asking your permission
I am asking your permission
yes I am asking for your permission
to rock and roll
to rock and roll
and on the day I made that vow
I couldn't imagine how
things would get this strange
I need it to be different now
will your heart allow
for my heart to change
for my heart to change
some things change and some things don't
my sound might change but my music won't
and I realize I'm grown now
long out of your jurisdiction
if I didn't respect you I wouldn't even tell you
I'm able to make my own decision
but I am asking your permission
I am asking your permission
yes I am asking for your permission
I am asking your permission
I am asking your permission
yes I am asking for your permission
to rock and roll

Something New

when you sang those words
I felt like you knew me
you held your pen like a sword
and drove it right through me
I saw my own blood
writing my heart's demise
twisting and spilling my guts
for all the world's eyes
I'm trying to make something new
out of what you left behind
yeah but your old spirit has a hole in it
your parts don't fit with mine
protective obsession
and willful ignorance
I heard your confession
still I spoke in your defense
how could my love be so misjudged
how could my love be fallible
punching the air and kicking up dust
crying like an animal
I'm trying to make something new
out of what you left behind
yeah but your old spirit has a hole in it
your parts don't fit with mine
I wanna lift you high
so I can watch you come down
from your pedestal of lies
with your barbed wire crown
how many times must you be killed
how many gallons will you bleed out
how many idols do I have to build
to prove that I'm devout
I'm trying to make something new
out of what you left behind
yeah but your old spirit has a hole in it
your parts don't fit with mine
I'm trying to make something new
out of what you left behind
yeah but your old spirit has a hole in it
your parts don't fit with mine

mortal feelings got me preoccupied
so much sorrow you'd think someone died
I'm hearing voices from across a vast divide
can't discern any faces on the other side
just for now I am one of the elite
just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
call the doctor, I don't feel right
ran myself ragged and lost my appetite
I'm having withdrawals and urges I can't fight
looks like the sun is going down for good tonight
just for now I am one of the elite
just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
mortal feelings really got me in a bind
cause all my problems are only in my mind
you are the angel who leaves no pure heart behind
I am the stubborn drunk anchored to the grind
just for now I am one of the elite
just for now I've got a house on Easy Street
just for now I am one of the elite
just for now I've got a house on Easy Street

it's warm outside
the night is abuzz
the fireflies
dance because
my sister has come home from war
my mother she dances too
the world is aglow
the lantern light flows
and my love flows from me to you
the sunset sky
the sloping mountainside
my son crawls onto the top
and I burn with pride
his sister has come home from war
his mother she dances too
the world is aglow
the lantern light flows
and my love flows from me to you
as the sun kisses us good night
my wife she turns to me
did you know all those years ago
how wonderful life might be
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
do you think this lasts forever
I don't know
but I'd be willing if you were willing
to give it a go
will we always be together
pay no mind
cause I've got something I'm dying to tell you
while we have the time
