I ain't even got started filling out this space You're my favorite time of day baby I think I'll make my case You're like a thought in my head That I can't put down You've got me walking around, thinking out loud, feet on the ground But my head's in the clouds And just in case you've missed the news You're my favorite kind of blues Because I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby Love and blue My mama told me there would always be times like this (mama said there'd be days like this) She taught me 'Purple Haze', '100 Ways', 'Strange Days' But to follow your bliss And just in case you've missed the news You're my favorite kind of blues Because I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby Love and blue I was a lone soul a twin without another I was a lone soul a twin without another I was a lone soul a twin without another I was a lone soul until I found my "Other" Low down dirty man, sho know what do to say Ya know how to talk about it, get me started, scream and shout it And keep me strung out for days And just in case you've missed the news You're my favorite kind of blues Because I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby Love and blue I ain't even got started filling out this space ''cuz you're my favorite kind of day baby I think I made my case

I woke up on the wrong side of sinning And I didn't have far to fall from grace So complicated this business of living Well, the price of living, low is being lost without a trace I knew he wasn't no good, when he first stepped inside I knew he wasn't no good, when I looked in his eyes but he smiled nice and slow, lit the fire down below and I knew I'd have a long walk home I woke up on the wrong side of sinning And I didn't have far to fall from grace So complicated this business of living Well, the price of living, low is being lost without a trace Well I knew I was wrong when he first laid me down Oh I knew I was wrong, but oooh....chile! cuz he smiled nice and slow and lit the fire down below. and I knew I'd have a long walk home I woke up on the wrong side of sinning And I didn't have far to fall from grace So complicated this business of living Well, the price of living, low is being lost without a trace I knew I was lost, when he starts to scream and shout I knew I was lost, and I had to take him out well he died oh so slow, there's no more fire down below and I knew I'd never go back home I woke up on the wrong side of sinning And I didn't have far to fall from grace So complicated this business of living Well, the price of living, low is being lost without a trace

I don't like limits put upon me, oh and all the folks that tell you no "you're not in" But I don't mind, cuz I've got a style that's all my own and I don't have to fit a mold. I live it! And maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone' identity and I don't think I want to be. Yeah maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone identity' but I don't think I mean to be cruel But I'm my own kind of cool It's like I'm different, independent, common, lowly and transcendent. Little obsessions. Been too much. Rejection made me question prior quests to find perfection, so I go my own direction And maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone' identity and I don't think I want to be. Yeah maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone identity' but I don't think I mean to be cruel But I'm my own kind of cool I don't like limits put upon me, oh and all the folks that tell you no "you're not in" But I don't mind, cuz I've got a style that's all my own and I don't have to fit a mold. I live it! And maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone' identity and I don't think I want to be. Yeah maybe I'll never be a 'set-in-stone identity' but I don't think I mean to be cruel But I'm my own kind of cool

Well, this ain't no ballad it's an angry song and I need to tell it while I'm feeling stuck. I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong! Well, I'm sick of keeping secrets and I'm tire of telling lies, of giving subtle hints while I'm watching time fly.. I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong! I wanna burn down bridges and bring on hell, I feel it building up inside I'm really scaring myself I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong! I wanna run the streets naked pull my hair screaming and shouting, and I want to rip open the package and let the poison run out! I.....I.....I..... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I feel like chaos incarnate! and I want to do WRONG! Now listen... Guilt don't bother with me, and I don't bother with it so you better cover your weak places cuz I don't give a SHIT! I wanna break things open and destroy something beautiful! I feel like Chaos incarnate and I want to do wrong!

Have you ever had to breathe under water, that done rose up over your head? Ever had to wade through the fire, just to keep your own soul fed? Well I lay me down in the garden. Gonna bury me nice and deep, drifting high on the breath of the Mother and giving her my soul to keep. Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long. Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on. Have you ever tried to rise in the wake of a shadow, just before it drags you down? Ever had to scream in your own voice so you could recall the sound? I'll lift you up and find you shelter, just before you go back in the rain. Gonna strip you down to your 'bare assed' spirit and show you how to love away the pain. Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long. Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on. Have you ever tried to see through your anger to your place among the stars? Ever had to swallow someone's hatred, while you let go of yours? Those tears of shame that you cry in the kitchen, and you thought that no one saw. You're treading thin air on that hard conversation, with one thin dying claw. Ohhhhh.. Oh long gone 'jimmy-crack-corn', the lust in your fury keep you too head strong. And on, on 'jimmy-crack-corn' the hate in your mind gonna kill your song. Cuz you can only stay broken, but for so long. Then the soul travelers are coming and this life will be moving on.
