YOU CAN’T BE WHO I AM when you gonna be - the dog that’s digging me - have you buried me forever like a bone when ya gonna see - you can’t be wearing me the clothes you wanna wear - is not my own where ya gonna run - the sun is beating down the ray gun set to stun - is burning holes what ya gonna do - you’re hoping that the glue that stuck me tight to you - is gonna hold when ya gonna care - it never has been fair - you always want a share in all this greed what you’re needing now - is never what you want - you’re never wanting what you really need who ya gonna trust - this gold gives such a rush - the drug will finally bring you to your knees when you’re finally full – you’ll’ve traded in your soul - for something that ya coulda got for free when ya gonna come – back to my heart babe - when you do - you’re gonna see - you’ll never be the person that you always say i am when you gonna come - back to my heart babe – when you do - you’re gonna see - that i’m not you and you’re not me - that we can’t be the same you’re stepping on my toes – you’re breathing from my nose - you suggest i take flight to some place higher i am no good for you – i’ll scuff your two good shoes – you’re will - will end up broke along with mine the black they painted me - the shadows of the tree – it’s branches reaching round the neck it ties like a mongrel biting flea – you’re digging into be me - like a dog i’m begging for another bite

the doggin’ in my brain Em Am Em real quick then A Am Em then G D Em then G D A Am Em there’s something peaking in prying me with pins checking in my sin getting ‘neath my skin i’m feeling kinda strange could this be insane it’s knocking on my walls drilling it’s peep holes catching all my colds my breathing’s getting old sound sounds almost/ all the same it won’t be well again i think it’s filming me i see me on the screen i act out every scene i’m praying on my knees i wasn’t what i seemed a bit part in the pain of all this suffering i thought i could be brave i had to run away escape this/ the light of day no truth made sense to me some boldly acted play good actors playing vague their lives too memorized i’d cut them to the chase i’d planned my great escape it’s spying with one ear it’s eye a convex mirror be careful what ya got they’re watching like a hawk drowned out fluorescent nights i sleep with blinking lights my moves are not my will he makes me take these pills i hide them in my mouth and then i spit them out the sand held in his hand is timing who i am a crayon held in his hand is drawing who i am i hide where Uboats hide dead living in a dream i traipse unbroken ground twigs snapping as i breathe i’ll tell you what it’s like i’m underneath the ice breathing for my life my worst fear’s being caught being awoken from a dream inside a buoying submarine i sink to steal from fire inside the sole survivor i alone and still alive

5th song: licking inkling EDAmC i’m just a dog with that licking inkling to keep on moving forward toward nothing i’m just a fly fretting where i’m going my arms so sore from rowing in circles round this room i’m just a rat twisting through a maze won’t someone from up above please help me find my way i’m just a rose always too soon blooming carelessly assuming that the winter snows are over i’m just a train traveling through a tunnel so dark and wide can’ t see the other side connect the dots between the saintly stars trace them near and far wonder where you are i’m just a shoe that’s always needed shining the sun comes undermining everything i do my enemies once friends that kept me bleeding way down here on my knees i’ve left them to their preaching i’m just a dog barking in the night begging simple favours won’t you please come fill my bowl

THE DOOM SONGAm F/C Am Em lean-to willows fill with sparrows begging god’s protection under bleeding suns black clouds gather - the locusts scatter a wet road grieves and turns to winds away a dog out on the road tail between its legs hobo ghosts, their box-carred souls riding for their lives along a cargo line we tap in time to fading rhymes rehearsal to a show that was on last night our fingers now fiddling frantically to keep the time the air breathes thick, the crickets pace grass freshly cut gives the air its taste stinging streams of gasoline running through a blood red handed race between man and what he plants and what he reaps the jig is up, the water’s rising heroes baling out a boat that’s burning our promised land - slip sharp in god’s great hands feel his tense steel wire gripping round your neck all helping hands below this shipwrecked deck no one cares what you wear you’re wearing nothing, you’re naked now dance my child, wild round the fire mother nature burning, deepens her desire her back up for attack for years of rape echoed words(echoed words), cawing birds flying in and out an old man’s eye a bloody river reflects a manmade mirror the devil’s given in to all of our demands this tangled web we weave with idle hands
