1
I'm bringing back ghosts
2
that are no longer there
3
I'm gettin' hard on myself
4
sittin' in my easy chair
5
Well, there's three people in the mirror
6
and I'm wonderin' which one of them I should choose
7
Well, I can't keep from laughin'
8
spittin' out these 300 mile per hour outpour blues
9
I'm breakin' my teeth off
10
tryin' to bite my lip
11
There's all kinds of red-headed women
12
that I ain't supposed to kiss
13
And it's that color that never fails
14
to turn me blue
15
So I just swallow it and hold on to it
16
and use it to scare the hell out of you
17
I have a woman
18
'says come and watch me bleed
19
And I'm wonderin' just how I can do that
20
and still give her everything that she needs
21
Well, there's three people in my head that have the answer
22
and one of them's got to be you
23
But you're holding tight to it -- the answer
24
singin' these three hundred mile per hour outpour blues
25
Put on gloves, a tied scarf and wrap up warm
26
on this winter night
27
Everytime you get defensive
28
you're just looking for a fight
29
It's safe to sing somebody out there's got a problem
30
with almost anything you'll do
31
Well, next time they stab you don't fight back just play the victim
32
instead of playin' the fool
33
And the roads are covered with a million
34
little molecules
35
Of cigarette ashes and the school floors are covered
36
with pieces of pencil eraser too
37
Well sooner or later the ground's gonna be holdin' all
38
of my ashes too
39
But I can't help but wonder if after I'm gone will I still have these three hundred mile per hour, finger breaking, no answers makin', battered dirty hands, bee stung and busted up, empty cup torrential outpour blues
40
One thing's for sure: in that graveyard
41
I'm gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes
