"Getting Normal"
she's gotta love she's going to get it
she's gotta love she's gonna run out and get it
she's got it all she's gonna get it
she's got it all she gonna go get it
down on your knees
down on your knees
down on your knees and you don't have to pray
down on your knees and you don't have to say please
down on your knees and you don't have to stay
down on your knees you're gonna do it my way
she's getting normal
she's getting normal
she's getting normal
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
gotta love she's going to get it
she's got it all she's gonna run out and get it
she's got it all she's gonna get it
she's got it all she gonna go get it
down on your face
down on your face
down on your face and you don't have to beg
down on your face or i'll have you erased
down on your face with your crooked leg
down on your face
she's getting normal
she's getting normal
she's getting normal
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
down on your mouth and i'll tell what for
down on your mouth and i'll tell you what it's about
down on your mouth don't be a bore
down on your mouth
i'm getting normal
i'm getting normal
i said, "i'm so high"
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
i ... used to dive so high
now i'm just lucky gettin' in the middle of a lie
"Out of Time"
When you're out of time
When you're out of time
Even the longest day feels like the shortest life
When you're out of your mind
When you're out of your mind
Even the quickest prayer can take the longest time
And everyone's a poet
Can ya hear
From the angels singin prverbs
To the sports fan with a beer
Everyone's a critic
Can ya tell
From the C.E.O. in New York
To the farmer in the dell
When you're out of line
When you're out of line
You may grin to get back in
But you frown when you've been denied
Everyone's a hero
Can ya bow
Look into tomorrow
Let the loser show you how
Everyone's in such a stick today
Will I never get my way
When you're out of time
When you're out of time
Even the longest day
Seems like the shortest life
La, la, la, la, la, la (when you're out...)

"Happy Old Man"
He gives in once
He gives in twice
He gives in three times
He loves to lose his hold on life
He's a happy old man
The biggest winner in love
He does not care to even up the score
He says he wins much bigger when
He loses a little bit more
He's a happy old man
World famous winner in love
Jarbled mess that I will figure out later
La, la ,la. la,la,la,la,
Down he goes...
"Allison"
all she really wants is to get well
all she really needs is to find somethin' new to sell
"i don't need this anymore
how much ya gonna give me for this today?"
all she wants is to get him out of jail
all she's really got is two cats and a trail
popsicle treat on the floor
she ain't gonna clean up no more today
"sit back and watch me heal myself
get a little bit shaky
there's a prize inside my shelf."
allison! (shoot shoot) gotta dig that hole
allison! (shoot shoot) gotta dig that hole
allison! (shoot shoot) gotta dig that hole

she got a picture of a victim on the wall
said, "Don't you worry, 'cause he's never, ever gonna call.
took his life and dug his muddy grave
didn't know who kills you is the same as being saved
"sit back and watch me heal myself
when I get shaky
there's a prize inside my shelf"
allison! (shoot shoot) gotta dig that hole (shoot shoot)
allison! (shoot shoot) gotta dig that hole (shoot shoot)

"Just Wanna Be You"
no transcription currently available
"Herb's Garage"
I've been here forty years
Been here since dirt
Do you know what dirt is? Dirt
Do you know where Herb's garage is?
Are you hard of hearing?
I own my garage
Used to be that theater over there
You know where it is?
Used to go there for a dime
You could go from here to Garden Grove
It was always two lane highways
Do you know how old I am?
Do you know how old I am?
First license in this town was Dick's horse
Had the oldest license around
Do you know how old I am?
How you lightin' that cigarette?
That's the wrong way to burn 'em
Two lights, it aint right
I could write a song
If you ever see darling
We'll drink another drink to steal, stealing
Do you know what I'm saying?
Are you hard of hearing?
Do you know how old I am?
One more light my darling
We had one doughnut and a cup
Do you even know?
When you hold on let me get the lecks together
When you hold on let me get the lecks together
Wolchet was the fastest race car driver
Wolchet was over the wall in Indianapolis,
One, that wall
Do you know how old I am?
My dad built that car
My father built some of the finest race cars in the world
Do you know how old I am?
This is probably the last cigarette I'll ever get in my life.
"Tattoo" (rock version)
She hit him in the mouth
She knocked him to the ground
Some smart cop said, "I'd take you to jail
If it was the other way around"
She stole his wallet
Out of his jeans
She said, "Hey just don't bother me
It was mine from the beginning"
All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo
She had two kids
Bouncing on his bed
One yelled, "Hey that's my mom"
The other one fixed (on a gin and wine), said
"You wanna (little) cab"
She said, "No way
You're not gonna go or else
(I'll tell you with the fish you'll play)"
All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo
Yeah, you're goin' down boy
Yeah, you're goin' down boy
All she ever really wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo
All she really ever wanted to do
Was show off her tattoo
Can I can I can I can I get'cha cab
Can I can I can I can I...
"Wither Wing"
Wither Wing
Tell me it's not what it seems
Tell me its not what it means to try and fly while your wing is withering
Wither wing
Have you tried lately to fly when you sing?
Have you flown high with the help of your dead thing?
Oh Wither Wing
And did your mother kiss you and say
'It's okay, You're all right'
Did your father hit the bed with the wrong side of the leather instead of
you?
Tell me it's true
Wither Wing
Don't care about what the world wants you to sing
Don't worry about what the world wants you to bring
Don't worry about a thing
Did your mother scream out and cry
'All on white'
Did your father work hard and try to make a life worthy of you?
Don't tell me you're blue
Wither Wing
Get over this while you sing
Jump over this while you bring a little sting
Whither Wing
