bury me in your saltwater
bury me under the sands
bury me under the ocean
but bury me with your own hands
bury me under the desert floor
maybe somewhere near the rio grande
but if you bury me beside you
maybe then I'll understand
bury me under a subway
in a station no one knows
bury me where no one finds me
but bury me in my own clothes
bury me under a mountain
bury me under the flames
bury me with muddy waters
under 21 feet of mississippi rain
in your sands
somewhere near the rio grande
bury me
in your hands
bury me by the atonobee river
maybe somewhere near the mouth
let her warm waves surround me
carry my body south
bury me with all your guilt and sorrow
bury me in the back lane
just bury me beside you
under 21 feet of mississippi rain
in your sands
somewhere near the rio grande
bury me
in your hands
in your hands
in your hands
you've got your mother's picture, it's hanging on the wall
your life is in your luggage, that you're stowing down the hall
your mirrors lying horizontal, tripping over emtpy bottles
while your friends are outside, they're waiting for your call
you can't afford this lesson, but you bought in anyway
now your vocal chords are missing, there's so much you want to say
your friends advice is quintesential, you think they're all just going mental
the insults were in jest, but you swallowed anyway
my love how did you get this way love
what brought on all this weight love
open up your arms, the angels want to listen
but the devil you've been kissing all night long
you think you're very clever, but you guard yourself with hate
you see your life as chess, but you've castled far too late
I can't believe the innocence that I thought you could once posess
your minions are all grinning, they're just counting down the days
when everything comes crashing, we'll be with you through and through
I see that silver lining, but you've painted it with blue
you're skiing to the bottom, so you feel like you're on top
the rumours are all true
we're still waiting here for you
there's more to life than this, you're still searching for the bliss you had the first
time that you kissed the devil's lips
Now you're washed up on the shore, there's no feeling anymore
our love is growing tired, and the warranty's expired
all the leaves are falling backwards
time has finally come to pass
all the bitches and the bastards
get in line to finish last
every finder is a keeper
who keeps the world waiting at bay
while the losers keep on weeping
cause they don't say what they want to say
CHORUS
all the wild cards will fall faster
not a deck need to be stacked
all the drunks are acting sober
trying to slip on through the cracks
there's no slaves and there's no masters
these dreams we are entitled to
seasons keep on changing faster
last year's winnners have no clue
CHORUS
all your pages have turned over
while glass houses crash
wake up to a january you don't know
her skin's as soft as the snow that follows her around
take in, a breath so cold that it burns
sit back and watch the world as it turns
we're turning on to you
january
will make it so
they're warming up to you
january
ain't it scary
how they follow you around
oh january
wake up from a resophonic dream
where no one in it seems to listen to your screams
break out of the mold that they once set
they think they know but they ain't seen nothing yet
we're turning on to you
january
will make it so
they're warming up to you
january
ain't it scary
how they're falling over you
oh january
and underneath depression there's a lesson that you make want to take heed
just throw away the pills and leave the thrill attached to all that wants to be
oh january
we're turning on to you
january
will make it so
they're warming up to you
january
ain't it scary
how they follow you around
It goes, it goes but the longer you leave it the more that you need it.
I know, you're on a plane thoughts are askew as you flip through the news
You once saw yourself on the cover
Next day replaced by another
An unfortunate media smother
Too fast too soon
And your life's work gets mixed with your lover's
Still you picture yourself with another
You cannot escape you discover
Too fast too soon, too fast too soon
You're blown, youre blown away one day in papers the next day in vapours
We know, you're on your way, talented make over shadowed by make-up
You sold your soul down the river
Now you're friends treat you like sliver
That's been jammed under your middle finger
Too fast too soon, too fast too soon
And your life's work gets mixed with your lover's
Still you picture yourself with another
Another lamb led to the slaughter
Too fast too soon, too fast too soon
Instrumental bridge thing
Chorus
Outro
hey, I've never met you before
but you left my heart sore
and all I can think of is having a drink with you
now you’ve gone and fell on the floor
im headed straight for the door
all I can say is
is too bad youre wasted
too bad youre wasted again
you said you really wanted a friend
I heard it all beginning to end
its hard to sympathize when you're drunk
you need a buck you're down on your luck
but /now you're the only one you're feeling right now
you play the same game all over town
now I can't even call you a friend
I guess im better off alone again
hey, you wanna settle the score
you say your daddy was poor
and momma was coma'd with bouron aroma lips
now you cannot see who they are
your way of healing the scars
is opening up to the strangers at clubs and bars
CHORUS
hey, you wanna settle the score
you say your mommy was poor
and daddy was coma'ed with bourbon aroma'ed fists
I once was told don't take life too easy
don't rush yourself so you know what to say
living is a game but not competition
and the only way to lose is by refusing to play
Now it's taken so long to get them to sing the songs
and now they're watching your every move
you didn't want all the attention
confidence was your only intention
and you're feeling like no one will look at you quite the same
I raise my glass to those who oppress their oppressor.
and those not afraid to say what they say
some people cut you down, they're just regressers
with ignorance so easy to come by these days.
while tension is building it feels so fulfilling
and you feel like you've got your money's worth
everyone's got their own opinions
their religious beliefs and dominions
and if somebody hates you I say that just makes you more human
look up and remember you can't live forever
take in a deep breath and enjoy the day
some days directions push you towards the future
some days the past pulls you the other way
and to you my friend a toast for the day.
to you my friend a toast for the day.
Track Name: Stay The Course
Stay The Course - Trophy
Firing down the 401 in the left lane
66 more clicks to Sarnia
There's no going back the thought is insane
gonna keep the pedal down until dawn
STAY THE COURSE, JUST LIKE A THOUSAND HORSES TO THE SUN
LIKE A RAY GUN, POINT IT AT THE SKY AND FIRE AWAY
there's no time to slow down
angel's turn to deal
throwing down the aces
devil's got the wheel
hanging dice and cocaine lines and tires that like to squeal
slipping in and out of what's façade and what is real
can hardly see the tailights through the snowy fog
the day was short as the evening long
the radio is the main source of heat
STAY THE COURSE, JUST LIKE A THOUSAND HORSES TO THE SUN
LIKE A RAY GUN, POINT IT AT THE SKY AND FIRE AWAY
