Well I like three syllables
And here’s the reason why
Four is too many
Cause I’m a Methadone guy
Yeah… Cause I’m Methadone guy
Yeah…Cause I’m Methadone guy
Well they gave me a test
Asked me the color of the sky
I said I won’t answer that question
Cause I’m a Methadone guy
Yeah… Cause I’m Methadone guy
Yeah…Cause I’m Methadone guy
Well Sherlock stole Shirley from Sam
Because she liked getting high
When Sam asked why she left him
She said because he’s a Methadone guy
Yeah…He’s a Methadone Guy
Yeah…He’s a Methadone Guy
Well Sally went to Charlottesville
And gave it that old college try
But she ran away with a professor
Cause he was a Methadone guy
Yeah…He was a Methadone guy
Yeah…He was a Methadone guy
Well Lawrence said to Larry
Do you know how to fly?
And Larry said of course I do
Cause I’m a Methadone guy
Yeah… Cause I’m Methadone guy
Yeah…Cause I’m Methadone guy
Well Aristotle asked Socrates
Why he was starting to cry
He said they gave him hemlock
Cause he was a Methadone guy
Yeah…he was a Methadone guy
Yeah…he was a Methadone guy

Liars in Love
03:09

She said I’ll love & cherish you forever
He said I’ll never cheat on you… no not ever
She found him so handsome, rich & clever
They said kind of love would last forever.
They were liars in love
They were liars in love
They were liars in love
Wealth seemed like such a wonderful blessing
Acquisition became her driving obsession
She invaded Madison Avenue without discretion
She began treating him like a pet possession
She was a liar in love
She was a liar in love
She was a liar in love
He met this beautiful young girl from Lisbon
His eyes undressed her with x-ray vision
A post card of pornographic precision
At the time it seemed like such an easy decision
He was a liar in love
He was a liar in love
He was a liar in love
They were eating sushi at Nobu
She said I’m afraid you don’t even have the first clue
Did you think you could so easily deceive me?
He said if there some reason that you no longer believe me?
They were liars in love
They were liars in love
They were liars in love,

Crawling Away
03:22
|

|
Well I’ve been thinking
About a whole lot of nothing
Just grinding these wheels in the sand
And I’ve been using
A whole lot of everything
Not exactly the kind of life
I had planned
When this morning arrived
All my dreams had vanished
Like childhood memories from long ago
And the barroom mirror was shattered
And I heard my voice choking
As I stared into the reflection
Of someone I didn’t even know
Long gone were the sweet lullabies
Sung for the little boy with the pale blue eyes
Who woke up one morning to the great big surprise
That there was no one left to turn to
This train’s done come off the tracks
The last station’s been burned
And there’s nowhere in this world left to hide
This silence keeps on screaming
Why aren’t the birds singing?
Has every little wing been broken?
Just snapped in two
Makes me blue but so do you
When I remember how high we once flew
Now I’m just crawling away
Just crawling away
I’m just crawling away
Just crawling away
I’m just crawling away
Just crawling away

Wedding Day
04:04

Wedding day
Oh what a mess
Your sister threw up
On your wedding dress
But we laughed all day
And drank & drank
Until we walked down
The old lover’s plank
Your stepdad mumbled
While giving you away
The maid of honor said
He pinched her along the way
In the bathroom stall
We snorted another line
And washed it down
With cheap wedding wine
Why do we…. hate ourselves
Undoing the little love…. we know
Why do we ….deceive ourselves?
With every single step…. we go
Little brick ranch house
In Westover Hills
We worked like dogs
Trying to pay the bills
Two kids in a minivan
And a satellite dish
Are we happy now?
That we got our wish
See the anniversaries
Just come and go
Warm summer rain
And dirty sleet and snow
Working the nightshift
Still pushing the broom
Sometimes it feels like
We’re living inside a tomb

Leaving Spokane
04:56
|
|||
|
Well Sarah said nothing
As she turned away from me in disdain
I guess she’d heard it all too many times before
I suppose she wanted to run away from the pain
Where do you go?
When there’s no place to go
What do you say?
When there’s nothing left to say
Well we used to sing our sweet love song
Our voices were wedded in harmony
She walked out on me this morning
Said there was nothing left here but faded memories
Where do you go?
When there’s no place to go
What do you say?
When there’s nothing left to say
I watched her getting on the bus
Wearing dark sunglasses
Like she knew where she was going
Though we both knew better
Spokane isn’t for the weak of heart
It’s not like Seattle
Sometimes you need a little medicine
Just to fight all these daily battles
Where do you go?
When there’s no place to go
What do you say?
When there’s nothing left to say

Nowhere to Go

I was hallucinating Jesus
I was walking the tightrope
I was aiming for heaven
But my lifeline broke
I was strung out
And running out of rope
The waitress cut me off
Said she despised that kind of joke
Bartender said
I needed to pay-up & go
I was feeling kind of sick
It was beginning to snow
Why was I sitting here?
Well I really didn’t know
Babylon was kind of creepy
But I had nowhere else to go
I heard someone behind me
Saying he knew me way back when
But it’s easier seeing the beginning of things
Much harder seeing the end
My head started spinning
I was hearing strange voices
The woman next to me said
We all make our own choices
Flashlights were shining
My crucifix was glowing
Police cars pulling up outside
I watched everyone going
Bartender said
I needed to pay-up & go
I was feeling kind of dizzy
It was beginning to snow
I said I had nowhere to go

Toxic Wonder
04:41
|
|||
|
Was that something burning?
Maybe last night’s pizza still in the stove?
But when he texted you to join him
You stole your mother’s car and drove
All the way from Tampa to Tallahassee
In the driving rain and early morning thunder
You were already shedding your old skin
When you made your deal with the Toxic Wonder
Sixteen years old and already using
Tired of having to wait for your tomorrows
He invited you into his motel room
Saying he had a little something to cure your sorrows
There was something about him that didn’t seem human
But then the drug’s warm rush just swept you under
You were staring at the dirt underneath his fingernails
When you made your deal with the Toxic Wonder
Your mother called you the most fucked up child
Said you were good for nothing at all
As she sat by the pool drinking her margaritas
Spitting salt into a wound festered and raw
So much for sweet dreams and high hopes
You were never meant for that kind of easy slumber
No you were staring into the peephole of disaster
When you made your deal with the Toxic Wonder
It was so much easier just going with the flow
Knowing change is always the hardest part
But why inflict your pain on anyone else?
When the world’s already full of broken hearts
Yeah but you did your best to hide your disappointment
Knowing he already had your number
And you felt just like crawling out of your skin
When you made your deal with the Toxic Wonder

Molly Was A Good Kisser
03:40
|

|
Well I never saw it coming
I was just a boy playing in the band
But she found a way into my heart
It seemed so carefully planned
Because she struck the match
That lit love’s sweet short fuse
I thought I was in heaven
But I was only being used
Molly was a good kisser
You know I couldn’t resist her
Molly was a good kisser
And I’m always going to miss her
Well the years keep flying by
There’s nothing that we can do
But I’ll always cherish the time we spent together
Because her memory always seems to pull me through
The last I heard she was dancing
Looking for a gentleman in DC
No matter what I ever said
That girl never listened to me
Molly was a good kisser
You know I couldn’t resist her
Molly was a good kisser
And I’m always going to miss her
I’ve got a place in deep down my heart
That’s reserved for her memory
A thing so beautiful and fragile
That I keep it hidden under lock and key
She was my Venus in Furs
I was the drummer boy keeping beat
You know she was my every little thing
I still dream about her in my sleep
Molly was a good kisser
You know I could never resist her
Molly was a good kisser
And I’m always going to miss her

Jenny said he was pathetic
Stealing from his own in-laws
Well the cat’s out of the bag
Now here come the claws
Tommy raised his eyebrows
As he studied the ice cubes in his drink
She said what do you have to say for yourself?
He said I need a little time to think
Welcome to the Museum of Messed-Up Stories
Welcome to the Museum of Messed-Up Stories
Tommy said there’s no reason to freak out
Though I know where you’re coming from
It was a fucked up thing to do
Sometimes I wonder what’s to come
So why don’t we leave this dive
Instead of making another ugly scene
I’ll find a way to pay them back
Just as soon as we get clean
Welcome to the Museum of Messed-Up Stories
Welcome to the Museum of Messed-Up Stories
They waited outside the Lucky Seven
The freak show had begun
Jenny pulled the price tags off their ski masks
Tommy reached under the seat for his gun
It was just past midnight
When they faced the begging night clerk
Jenny just wanted drug money
But Tommy decided to be a jerk
Welcome to the Museum of Messed-UP Stories

Oh Silly Me

Well she was my obsession
I just couldn’t stay away
But my watch kept on stopping
And the night slipped away
So I showed up this morning
Well isn’t that just like me?
Didn’t see the need for knocking
I assumed she was free
Oh silly me
Oh silly me
I thought it was midnight
When it was 10 past 3
Oh silly me
Oh silly me
You can’t trust love
You can’t trust love
Well I thought it was early
That’s what my watch read
Thought she’d be happy
Seeing me kneel by her bed
But three’s a crowd
Unless you like it that way
And now the book’s been written
There’s nothing left to say
Oh silly me
Oh silly me
I thought it was midnight
When it was 10 past 3
Oh silly me
Oh silly me
You can’t trust love
You can’t trust love

You Got Caught
03:29
|

|
Well it’s a beautiful morning
And I’m running through the park
All these birds are singing
I’m hearing my pit bull bark
Me I’m so happy
Just as free as free can be
I’m kicking up my heels
Living in the lap of luxury
Sorry about your situation
You probably thinking it’s my fault
I guess I got lucky
Sorry that you got caught
Now some people sell
While other’s just get bought
Me I’m living the dream
Sorry that you got caught
Your girlfriend was so lonely
I hated seeing her so sad
She moved in with me last week
I hope you aren’t mad
Well I look out for myself
I have no regrets
Please let me know
If you need a another carton of cigarettes
Sorry about your situation
You probably thinking it’s my fault
I guess I got lucky
Sorry that you got caught
Now some people sell
And other’s just get bought
Me I’m living the dream
Sorry that you got caught

Well I got clean last October
Court ordered and all
Detoxed down at Muscala
Then thirty days rehab in St Paul
I got sent home for Thanksgiving
Given a clean bill of health
I wore my best flannel shirt
A conspicuous show of my wealth
But my sister didn’t want to see me
And Mama didn’t trust me with the carving knife
Daddy was staring out the window
And my brother was making fun of his wife
Then Aunt Ginny said the blessing
Said they were grateful I was back at home
And I nodded my head in agreement
But somehow I still felt all alone
Fast forward to January
Christmas tree lying next to the street
I was watching CSI reruns in bed
Listening to the rain and sleet
I heard my phone start ringing
It was Tommy on the other end
He said he’d heard I was back home
From one of my brother’s friends
Meet me down at the Station he said
If you’re tired of staring at those four walls
I know this girl who has a friend
And he’s willing to make a few calls
Well you know the rest of the story
It’s one that’s been told a million times
You just have to change the faces and names
And read in between the lines
