lost 03:33
looky here & looky there the side walk is spinning & so is my head the story is spun it's spun like wire i find comfort in a pair of sad eyes i'm lost i feel so lost way down in my soul knocked out & loaded another dog gone stray just a sucka been used like an old ash tray i've been talking talking real fast but no talking ever made a thing last i'm lost i feel so lost way down in my soul another coin in the juke box another coin down the well my fingers are crossed i'm l-l-l-l-l-lost sweet satisfaction sweeter than wine thats why i look at you and take my sweet time that's how i take it t-t-take it in my stride don't call me a thief i'm just claiming what's mine i'm lost i feel so lost way down in my soul

meltdown 03:11
someone's been picking from the ground ground ground along the way the picks went down down down the moon cried lightening in the woods woods woods they got to sleep before i could could could and i can barely keep my mind at the best of times the silver river running still still still the mayor was laughing on the hill hill hill when i woke up my ride was gone gone gone the final bus would find me home home home and i can barely keep my mind at the best of times
