Just Passin’ Through
We are just passing through
This is what we do
Might see me as I go by
Might see a trail of dust
Might hear that I was seen about
Indulging my wanderlust
We are just passing through
This is what we do
Watch me go don’t get attached
Gotta leave or be dispatched
‘Cause we are just passing through
Might leave behind a tale of woe
Might leave behind a bill
Might leave before the sheriff comes
To curtail my free will
We are just passing through
This is what we do
Watch me go don’t get attached
Gotta leave or be dispatched
‘Cause we are just passing through
Might leave behind an old suitcase
Might leave a debt or two
Might leave a pile of dirty clothes
Or a book of sudoku
Might leave behind an odor
The smell of old cologne
Might leave behind a crummy joke
Carved on an old tombstone
We are just passing through
This is what we do
Watch me go don’t get attached
Gotta leave or be dispatched
‘Cause we are just passing through
We’re just passing through
This is what we do
Watch me go don’t get attached
Gotta leave or be dispatched
‘Cause we’re just passing through
Flirt Proof
I cannot believe it
I cannot tell a lie
She took one look at me and it was too much stimuli
I’m not happy
Ain’t got no self control
I’m too sappy
Goin’ down the toilet bowl
I’m paralyzed
‘Cause I’m a big fat goof
I’m compromised
‘Cause I am not flirt proof
I cannot defeat it
I cannot overcome
She took a another look at me and now I’m deaf and dumb
I’m not happy
Ain’t got no self control
I’m too sappy
Goin’ down the toilet bowl
I’m paralyzed
‘Cause I’m a big fat goof
I’m compromised
‘Cause I am not flirt proof
When a girl makes a pass at me
It turns into catastrophe
A smiling face I will not fight
‘Cause flirting is my kryptonite
I cannot control it
I cannot stop it all
She smiled at me then looked away and I got no protocol
I got no restraint
I ain’t got no discipline
She brushed past me and we just touched and now I’m born again
I’m not happy
Ain’t got no self control
I’m too sappy
Goin’ down the toilet bowl
I’m paralyzed
‘Cause I’m a big fat goof
I’m compromised
‘Cause I am not flirt proof
I’m not happy
Ain’t got no self control
I’m too sappy
Goin’ down the toilet bowl
I’m paralyzed
‘Cause I’m a big fat goof
I’m compromised
‘Cause I am not flirt proof
Cheap Shot
When you tell me that you two are fighting
And she will just ruin your day
When she brings up ancient history
That’s when I have to say
They will come when you are weak
Hit below the belt technique
It’s just what the cheaters do
That was a
Cheap shot
Don’t cost a lot
It comes in handy and it comes in hot
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
Cheap shot
It’s all they brought
Whatever don’t give it a second thought
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
You say that your boss is brutal
And he loves to domineer
And he’s running you down in public
That’s when you need to hear
They will come when you are weak
Hit below the belt technique
It’s just what the cheaters do
That was a
Cheap shot
Don’t cost a lot
It comes in handy and it comes in hot
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
Cheap shot
It’s all they brought
Whatever don’t give it a second thought
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
That was a cheap shot
That was a cheap shot
When you say your dad is spot-on
When he gave you a talking to
About the things your siblings did better
I’m just gonna tell you
They will come when you are weak
Hit below the belt technique
It’s just what the cheaters do
That was a
Cheap shot
Don’t cost a lot
It comes in handy and it comes in hot
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
Cheap shot
It’s all they brought
Whatever don’t give it a second thought
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
Cheap shot
Don’t cost a lot
It comes in handy and it comes in hot
Cheap shot
They’d better not
It comes in low and it sure ain’t taught
Cheap shot
It’s all they brought
Whatever don’t give it a second thought
Cheap shot
Nah nah nah nah nah
Ball and Chain
I feel the pull most all the time
Shivers will come if I decline
When I give in it is sublime
Nah-nah-nah nah
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix counteract
Or it’s all insane
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix or a hack
We’re done
I hear the call every single day
I can never get far away
Gotta be close enough to say
Nah-nah-nah nah
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix counteract
Or it’s all insane
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix or a hack
We’re done
Some will say it is my crutch
And they will be right enough
And truth be told that’s only half
Because I need this stuff
I see the signs all over the place
Gotta put on my poker face
Can’t get away to outer space
Nah-nah-nah nah
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix counteract
Or it’s all insane
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix or a hack
We’re done
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix counteract
Or it’s all insane
It’s just a fact
It’s my ball and chain
It’s my fix or a hack
We’re done
No Say So
You might think that I’m out of touch
‘Cause I don’t talk about it all that much
Sitting on the stairs
Shoelaces tied
And nowhere to go
I don’t need everything to go my way and
I don’t need to know
I don’t want everyone to come around but
I don’t wanna go
You might hear that I’m out of touch
‘Cause I don’t never talk about it much
Standing in a crowd
Dressed to the nines
And nothing to say
I don’t need everything to go my way and
I don’t need to know
I don’t want everyone to come around but
I don’t wanna go
I still have to
I still don’t get say so
I still have to
I still don’t get say so
It might seem that I’m in denial
‘Cause I look happy and can laugh and smile
Standing in the yard
Looking at clouds
And nothing to see
I don’t need everything to go my way and
I don’t need to know
I don’t want everyone to come around but
I don’t wanna go
I don’t get everything to go my way ‘cause
I don’t get sayso
I don’t want everyone to reappear but
I still have to go
If You’re Nice
I have been bitten more than once
I think I’ve seen all of the stunts
So I will put on all my fronts
For you.
I’ll be there
I’ll be around and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I’ll be here
I’ll be on your phone and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I will put on my kindest face
And I’ll act like you’re in first place
But you might notice extra space
Around.
I’ll be there
I’ll be around and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I’ll be here
I’ll be on your phone and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I will say the nicest things
But I won’t promise diamond rings
Because I don’t have heartstrings
No more
I’ll be there
I’ll be around and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I’ll be here
I’ll be on your phone and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I’ll be there
I’ll be around and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
I’ll be here
I’ll be on your phone and
I’ll love you
Only if you’re nice
The Way I Seemed
I can give you all you wanted
Or I can leave you high and dry
I can leave you at the altar
And I can watch you pass on by
I can be the way I seemed
I can be the way I seemed
I can give you all you wished for
And I can make your dreams come true
Or I can leave you all alone
And we will miss our rendezvous
I can be the way I seemed
I can be the way I seemed
It can be exactly what you dreamed
I can be exactly the way I seemed
I can make it happen for you
And I can turn the tide your way
I can take the punches for you
And I can make it your best day
Or I can skip us all together
And never try another day
I can leave it all behind me
And I won’t watch it sail away
I can be the way I seemed
I can be the way I seemed
I can be the way I seemed
I can be the way I seemed
Running Late
I am doing that thing when I’ve got too much to do
And I’m running ‘round in circles more than I usually do
And the stuff that takes a second really takes an hour more
And it’s catching up with me before I make it out the door
All I know is that today is not long enough
To finish what I’ve started has gotten too tough
Too much to do so I’m running late
Underachieving so I’m running late
I can’t keep to schedule so I can’t keep a date
I’m running late
Running late
I am doing that thing when I’ve piled on too much
And I’m going to and fro and I’m completely out of touch
And the task list isn’t shrinking and the jobs are taking long
And I’ll be late tomorrow too if I do nothing wrong
All I know is that today is not long enough
To finish what I’ve started has gotten too tough
Too much to do so I’m running late
Underachieving so I’m running late
I can’t keep to schedule so I can’t keep a date
I’m running late
Running late
I’m ignoring my tax return but it is my fate
And I’m lost doing forms I’ll probably file late
And the car needs insurance gotta file a health claim
And I’ll start being an adult but first a drinking game
All I know is that I got these papers to do
But I don’t wanna do ‘em so take ‘em and shoo
Too much to do so I’m running late
Underachieving so I’m running late
I can’t keep to schedule so I can’t keep a date
I’m running late
Running late
