1. Fool on a Wire
I'm no stranger at your door
I've been up in here before
Hear me howlin' in the hall
Knockin' on your bedroom wall
Yes it's true I'm drunk again
But that don't mean we can't be friends
And if you need a friend in need
I could be your friend indeed
Yeah you need a fool on a wire
Wire
A full-time hire
Hire
Yeah
Can you scrape me off the floor
I can't walk too good no more
And if you have a helping hand
I could be your right-hand man
Don't you wanna have some fun
I can't be the only one
Honey can we make amends
Honey won't you let me in
Let me in
Hear me howlin' in the hall
Baby don't you call the law
Lincoln set the people free
But I won't turn you loose from me

2. Time Time Time
Down on a deadend
Doin' the down-and-out
Broke up in Brooklyn
I know how to do without
Yeah
It's about time time time
I got mine mine mine
It's about time time time
I got mine mine mine
Mine mine mine
Fool on a wire
Wound up in Alabam
Quitter got fired
Found me a rock n roll band
Yeah
It's about time time time
I got mine mine mine
It's about time time time
I got mine mine mine
Mine mine mine
Don't need a tombstone
Don't need a funeral train
Got me a new tone
Blood in a brand-new vein
Yeah

3. Baby
Goodbye
A light is shining through the window
in my eye
I've had the past come back and haunt me through the night
I know I've got to change something inside
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
The night is creepin', feel the drinks in my blood
I'm out and searching for the things that I could
I know that you been there, everyone must take a look
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
Baby goodbye
Think about the long-run
Find yourself another I'm movin' on
Maybe I'll be back
You never know what to expect
I've been a lonely sinner, hurts from time to time
I've seen the word goin' round, swear I'm goin' blind
You can give me anything, baby goodbye

4. Phonograph
Phonograph
Can you help me get it back
Can you can you
Phonograph
When the needle hits the black
Will you help me through
Oh I spent my pay on you
Just to hear a sound come true
It's what I do
Yesterday
I could feel it fade away
Maybe maybe
Not today
Come on little record, play
Show me somethin' new

5. Light
Years Away
Tonight is almost come and gone
But you're still yesterday
And when you're right beside me
You're light years away
I can tell you're dreaming
Of a thread that will not fray
And when I hold you close to me
You're light years away
Light years away
From me
Oh now
I have stayed
But baby you have strayed
Light years away
Light years away
Oh you're light years away
From me
There are miles of space between
The words I have to say
You can hear me whisper them
Light years away

6. Belle of the Ball
You're the belle of the ball
You're the queen of the hive
Under twenty-one
And half-alive
I'm just a poor boy
In the back of the line
You're a teenage dream, child
With a criminal mind
You got a mouth like a bathroom stall
Hangin' around down at the Birmingham Ball
Mama don't care, daddy don't know
All coked up and no place to go
Every Saturday night
It's the Zanex blues
Every Sunday morning
It's a mystery bruise
Now what you tryin' to do babe
You 'bout to get me killed
Tryin' to get a deadman's
Prescription filled

7. I Don't Mind
Unmade beds
And unpaid bills
Little white lies
Little blue pills
Disconnected lines
Just a nervous twitch
I can pay your fines
Slap me on the wrist
Anything you ask
I'll do it
Anything you need
I will find
Anything you want
I'll get it
I don't mind
Hangers on
Hangin' out
Drinkers drink
Starlets pout
When you got to town
You ran off the rails
But I won't let you down
I won't let you fail
This is the sound of me loving you
This is the sound of me loving you
This is the sound of me loving you
No matter what
No matter what
No matter what
you do

8. We Will Find a Way
IWe'll sell the wedding rings
We'll sell off all of these things
Just to get by one more day
But don't you cry
We will find a way
How will we make the rent
No credit, all of it spent
No check in the mailbox today
Don't you cry
We will find a way
You and me came from nothin'
That's where we're headed now I know
But I ain't afraid of nothin'
As long as I know you won't let me go

9. Song
in D
I don't wanna say
You're my only one
Hey tonight
I don't wanna feel
Like I'm hangin' on
Hey tonight
And I don't
Wanna know
If I still
Wanna feel
Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
I don't wanna say
You're my only one
Hey tonight
You're my only one
Hey tonight
You're my only one
Hey

10. Stranded
After the circus has left town
And all the freaks have let you down
When all the medicine is gone
Tell me the road you're stranded on
When all the seams begin to tear
And you don't have a coat to wear
When all your friends have turned up gone
Tell me the road you're stranded on
After the congregation leaves
And you're there crying on a sleeve
When everything has turned out wrong
Tell me the road you're stranded on
Tell me the road you're stranded on

11. Ever/After
Nobody said this would be easy
Nobody said this would come true
But if you give out on me baby
I don't know what I would do
How long, how long
Til ever after
How long, how long
Til ever after
I never said this would be pretty
I never said no one would get hurt
But don't you look back in the rear-view
No matter what, if worse comes to worse
