I wonder what it’s like to be the rainmaker I
wonder what it’s like to know that I
make the rain I’d store it in boxes with little
yellow tags on everyone and you
can come see them when I’m...done, when I’m done
I wonder what it’s like to be a super hero I wonder
where I’d go if I could fly
around downtown from some other planet, I get
this funky high on yellow sun
boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they’re
stunned (chorus) straight up,
what did you hope to learn about here if I were
someone else, would this all fall
apart strange, where were you, when we started
this gig, I wish the real world,
would just stop hassling me
I wonder what it’s like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I’d do if they all
did just what I said I’d shout out an order,
I think we’re out of this man get me
some boy don’t make me wanna change my...tone,
my tone (chorus) please
don’t change, please don’t break the only thing
that seems to work at all is
you please don’t change, at all from me to you,
and you to me (chorus)
it’s sitting by the overcoat, the second shelf,
the note she wrote that I can’t
bring myself to throw away and also reach she
said for no one else but you,
cuz you won’t turn away when someone else is
gone
I’m sorry ‘bout the attitude I need to give when
I’m with you but no one else
would take this shit from me and I’m so terrified
of no one else but me I’m here
all the time I won’t go away it’s me, yeah I
can’t get myself to go away it’s me,
and I can’t get myself to go away oh God shouldn’t
feel this way (chorus)

some hope for me it’s been a
long day, always ain’t that right and no Lord
your hand won’t stop it just keep
you trembling it’s been a long day, always ain’t
that right

that comes from me I didn’t
hear from you or from someone else and you’re
so set in life man, a pisser
they’re waiting too damn bad you get so far so
fast so what, so long (chorus)

3) 3 AM (3:46)
she say it’s cold outside and she hands me my
raincoat she’s always worried
about things like that she says it’s all gonna
end and it might as well be my
fault and she only sleeps when it’s raining and
she screams and her voice is
straining (chorus) she says baby it’s 3 am I
must be lonely when she says
baby well I can’t help but be scared of it all
sometimes says the rain’s gonna
wash away I believe it
she’s got a little bit of something, God it’s
better than nothing and in her color
portrait world she believes that she’s got it
all she swears the moon don’t
hang quite as high as it used to and she only
sleeps when it’s raining and she
screams and her voice is straining (chorus) she
believes that life is made up of
all that you’re used to and the clock on the
wall has been stuck at three for
days, and days she thinks that happiness is a
mat that sits on her doorway but
outside it’s stopped raining (chorus)
she said I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I
think my head is caving in and I don’t know if
I’ve ever been really loved by a
hand that’s touched me, well I feel like something’s
gonna give and I’m a little
bit angry, well
this ain’t over, no not here, not while I still
need you around you don’t owe me,
we might change yeah we just might change (chorus)
I wanna push you
around, I will, I will I wanna push you down,
I will, I will I wanna take you for
granted, I wanna take you for granted I will
she said I don’t know why you ever would lie to
me like I’m a little untrusting
when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
and I don’t know why you couldn’t
just stay with me you couldn’t stand to be near
me when my face don’t seem
to want to shine cuz it’s a little bit dirty
well
don’t just stand there, say nice things to me
I’ve been cheated I’ve been
wronged, and you you don’t know me, I can’t change
I won’t do anything at all
(chorus) oh but don’t bowl me over just wait
a minute well it kinda fell apart,

changes is all I’m same old trailer trash in
new shoes

says it makes her feel damn

better than nothing it’s better than nothing
I put my hands around your shoulder you’re saying

damn worthless (chorus 2) well you got to think
with a girl like that any love is
better than nothing it’s better than nothing

any love at all, is better than nothing it’s
better than nothing yeah she drags
you down and she pulls you up she pulls you up
says that she’s sorry now but
it’s not enough to pull you up she’s sorry
I wake up quick just like I want to yeah but I
stay out much too late you think
this life can get a bit unkind but she stays
down till the worth is gone and pulls
you up, she pulls you up, she pulls you up and
over, over (chorus 2) (chorus
1)
6) BACK 2 GOOD (5:40)
it’s nothing, it’s so normal you just stand there
I could say so much but I don’t
go there cuz I don’t want to I was thinking if
you were lonely maybe we could
leave here and no one would know at least not
to the point that we would think
so
everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking
about somebody else it’s best
if we all keep it under our heads I couldn’t
tell, if anyone here was feeling the
way I do but I’m lonely now, and I don’t know
how to get it back to good
this don’t mean that, you own me this ain’t no
good, in fact it’s phony as hell
but things worked out just like you wanted too
if you see me out you don’t
know me try to turn your head, try to give me
some room to figure out just
what I’m going to do
and everyone here, hates everyone here for doing
just like they do it’s best if
we all keep this quiet instead and I couldn’t
tell, why everyone here was doing
me like they do but I’m sorry now, and I don’t
know how to get it back to good
everyone here, is wondering what it’s like to
be with somebody else everyone
here’s to blame, everyone here gets caught up
in the pleasure of the pain,
everyone hides shades of shame, but looking inside
we’re the same, we’re the
same and we’re all grown now, but we don’t know
how to get it back to good
everyone here, knows everyone here is thinking
‘bout somebody else it’s best
if we all keep this under our heads I couldn’t
tell, if anyone here was feeling
the way I do but it’s over now, and I don’t know
how, it’s over now there’s no
getting back to good

8) ARGUE (2:58)
she don’t, but she will he says anything to keep
her by him she takes what she
gets, and she never did flinch, no
so over, and over, well anyone with any mind would
think that’s all she gets
(chorus) if you want you can get to know me well

argue, yeah and I don’t know yes, said I don’t
know no all these feelings cloud
up my reasoning cloud up my reasoning
I know, but I still believe in ignorance as my
best defense so go on, wreck me
funny how I carry on, and not be taken over will
not roll over on anyone, cuz
anyone would stand up on my side (chorus) you

just got lost, and it deeply
saddens me so over, and over anyone, who’s anyone
(chorus)
9) KODY (4:03)
kody sat down on the avenue he tapped his feet,
to the humming of the
highway he watched the light shine down on the
broken glass and thought I
don’t got no reasons, yet there it is and there
it was it was clear to all of us we
kept this hat of broken dreams and we pulled
them out, when we needed them
around (chorus) so please hand me the bottle,
I think I’m lonely now and
please give me direction, I think the hurt set
in and I don’t feel nothing
there’s a squeak hinge down on the back gate it
lets us know if he comes
around I don’t sleep that good anyway if you’ve
never heard the silence, it’s a
God awful sound (chorus) I don’t feel nothing,
no I don’t feel nothing there’s
nothing to feel good about here
don’t much get down to the avenue I could drive,
but it takes so much to get
there don’t get off on all the broken glass,
the cadillac scene, well I’ve seen a
lot of good things die and I’m in an over emotional
way (chorus)
10) BUSTED (4:15)
I forget when words were only words she knows
the party makes me nervous
in this stage we can’t get hurt don’t try to
understand me
we’re too cool to be alone but, not too crazy to get busted
I found out one life ain’t enough I need another
soul to feed on I’m the flame I
can’t get burnt I’m wholly understated
I found silence in this space an on and off again
attraction I need such
amazing grace heaven sweep me away (chorus) love
don’t change, don’t come
around here don’t wear my heart on your sleeve
like a high school letter don’t
strain, cuz nothing ever comes from it and the
people we’ve become, well
they’ve never been the people who we are
I strap on one horse and prayed for luck I dug
another hole to bleed I know
exactly how this works I need a new feel dirty
I don’t need you crowding up my space I just want
to get inside you you can’t
blame the heart you save giving something away
(chorus) I dreamed that the
world was crumbling down we sat on my back porch
and watched it I dreamed
that the buildings all fell down we sat on my
back porch and watched it in my
head I heard the sound like fifteen strangers
dancing
but oh how I want you to know me oh how I want
you to know me oh how I
wish I was somebody else, baby oh how I wish
you could own me (chorus)
11) SHAME (3:35)
what we learned here is love tastes bitter when
it’s gone past yourself forget
the light, things look dirty when it’s on funny
how it comes to pass, that all the
good slips away and there’s no one around you
can remember being good to
you
(chorus 1) shame, shouldn’t try you, couldn’t
step by you and open up more
shame, shame, shame
what we lost here is something better left alone
second steps have been
forgotten, will you tell me how they go set yourself,
situate, like a fool try again
there’s no one around you can remember being
good, for you so
(chorus 2) shame, shouldn’t try you, couldn’t
step by you, and open up more
shame, shame, shame shame, shouldn’t try you,
couldn’t step by you and
open up more shame, shame, shame
we never thought we’d get so troubled we could
never think that much it
should never get this bad
so let the wind blow ya, across a big floor but
there’s no one around who can
tell us what we’re here for funny in a certain
light, how we all look the same
and there’s no one in life you can remember ever
stood for you, so
12) HANG (3:47)
she grabs her magazines she packs her things and
she goes she leaves the
pictures hanging on the wall, she burns all her
notes amd she knows, she’s
been here too few years to feel this old
he smokes his cigarette, he stays outside ‘till
it’s gone if anybody ever had a
heart, he wouldn’t be alone he knows, she’s been
here too few years, to be
gone
and we always say, it would be good to go away,
someday but if there’s
nothing there to make things change if it’s the
same for you I’ll just hang
the trouble understand, is she got reasons he
don’t funny how he couldn’t see
at all, ‘til she grabbed up her coat and she
goes, she’s been here too few
years to take it all in stride but still it’s
much too long, to let hurt go (you let
her go) and we always say, it would be good to
go away, someday but if
there’s nothing there to make things change if
it’s the same for you I’ll just
hang the same for you I’ll always hang well I
always say, it would be good to
go away but if things don’t work out like we
think and there’s nothing there to
ease this ache but if there’s nothing there to
make things change if it’s the
same for you, I’ll just hang
