(from may to december…)
where the storm never ends
well it sure never ends…
when you’ve lost all your friends
when the storm never ends
(you outta tell somebody)
warm, well and worn in our apartment
we don’t have a ways to go
(we don’t have a thing to show)
this shirt is too torn to be a garment
we don’t have the means to sew
follow me carefully
right back to austin
when emma was four years old
her mama was cruel and cold
at the time, i was suffering up in boston
with nary a hand to hold…
when the fun doesn’t start
when they’re beating your heart
when we’re inside the hole
when we’re out of control
when we do as were told
when we’re harder to hold
when we’re in on the joke
when we break for a smoke
when i false advertise
you’ll be in for surprise
when the sun never sets
when you’re hedging your bets…
(solo)
the first time we met, i tried to buy her
but she wasn’t so easily sold
though i had all the cash i require
i still was a bit too bold…
she thought me a bit too old…
she was sick of the trick i tried to try her
she was ready to break the mold
i was kicking a habit, it was dire
i was curing a common cold…
when emma was four years old…
next time we met, i tried to bite her…
once i was done, i tried to fry her…
we’ll have us a ball
we’ll re-do it all
just stay by your phone
and wait for my call
when we’re eating your heart
when we no longer joke
when our forefathers fled
when your loved ones croak…

PART 2:
here ye! hear me!
those hauer twins both committed to sin
and their baby boys…
born in the same old holiday inn…
born in the same old holiday inn…
now i’m headed down to austin
just checking out the scene
some chica and her boyfriend
had just turned seventeen
some prick was drinking poison
he would not be OK
i flicked out my cigarette and headed on my way…
i’m still the same old guy…
still wondering why…
still the same old man
with that same old master plan…
