Black Star (unreleased)

D. Pirner

 

There is a black star,

somewhere in the night,

It's like a sun spot,

A reminder of the night,

Can you help me now,

Can you lift me up?

Can you help me find my way,

Black Star,

Black Star,

Black Star,

There is a black star,

There is a cold drink,

Coming by the way,

I never wanted,

Much more anyways,

Can you guide me now?

Don't let me down,

Can you help me find my way,

Oh Black star,

Black star,

Black star,

There is a black star,

There is a black star,

coming in the night.

 

 

Up With You

(Called Blood Into Wine on the album, but the album version has

large differences from this copy of the lyrics)

 

(Daniel Murphy)

You won't kiss me,

Who's to say if its right or wrong,

And you won't see me,

Near a light that shines on me,

Why's something always gotta be up . . . with you,

Whatever I do is never enough,

For someone like you,

Turning blood into wine,

Passing through you all the time,

Why's something always gotta be up, with you?

Back on my feet, but the nights get long,

Do you think about me too?

Nothing happened,

Just two people passing through,

Hearing voices in my head,

Hope it never lies to you,

(early version)Why's something always gotta be up with you,

Back on my feet, but the nights get long,

Do you think about me too?

Just hanging out all the time,

three more days and you'll be hanging on the line,

And if they ask you how I'm doing,

Just tell 'em that your fine

(from the left laughing tour)Why's something always gotta be up with you,

If your only feeling glad,

Then cryings just for fools,

Passing through you all the time,

Turning blood into wine,

three more days and you'll be hanging on the line,

And if they ask you how I'm doing,

Just tell 'em that I'm fine,

Why does something always gotta be up with you?

Up with you (repeated many times)

What the fucks up with you (x3)

 

What We're Dealing With

(unreleased, played during the '96 tour)

D. Pirner (assumed)

 

When you look in the mirror, do you wonder who is looking back at you,

When you point the finger, do you find it pointing back at you?

This is what we're dealing,

This is what we're dealing with,

This is what we're dealing with,

All she said, he said, what he said,

It wasn't really true,

When you got all the problems you find back in turn, (?)

And you don't know what to do,

And, This is what we're dealing,

This is what we're dealing with,

So you tried to solve your problems,

And now you solved your pain, (?)

And it never knows what you've been brought, (?)

And damned if I go back,

And here son, is good advice, (?)

To stop right in your tracks,

You know you gotta start dealing,

And when it points the finger, do you often find it pointing back at you,

When you look into the mirror, do you wonder who is looking at you,

And This is what we're dealing,

This is what we're dealing with,

and you try to get on top of your problems,

and it never quite knows for sure,

And he quits its job, (?)

When you cut him loose, (?)

It never quite got him back,

and all of a sudden (the same, or the such)

It just stopped you in your tracks, (?)

And you know you gotta start dealing.

I Will Still Be laughing

 

(note: taken from the '97 tour and letterman version

of the song, but basically the same on the album)

D. Pirner

Hallways (doorways on letterman) lead to other rooms,

Always to a punch line,

They're all laughing at your clothes,

Standing in the lunch line,

Your on top of the town,

First your up then your down,

Its a cycle I've found,

It always goes around,

And I will still be laughing,

And I will still be laughing,

Air-raids in the afternoon,

The children are playing,

Switchblade coloured red balloons, (i think thats what it says/means)

No one hears your praying,

And it all comes back to you,

All the things that you do,

They'll come looking for you,

They'll come looking for you,

And, I will still be laughing,

I will still be laughing,

Hallways Lead to other rooms,

Always leave you lieing,

Face down in a strangers tomb,

Didn't know you were dieing!

You rise then you fall,

Then you wait for the call,

And your watching the wall,

your watching the wall,

and, I will still be laughing,

yes, I will still be laughing,

yes, I will still be laughing,

yes, I will still be laughing,

laughing x4

 

 

 

Lies of Hate

(taken from a version on the '97 tour, basically the same as the

album version however)

 

D. Pirner

You make me fall from

Lies of hate,

You make me fall from,

Lies of hate,

No one is watching,

So why do you act like a fake (?),

Nobody's listening,

And I'm taking all I can take,

You make me fall from,

Lies of hate,

You mkae me crawl from,

Lies of hate,

Nobodys telling you,

What you should not have to take,

I truely had it!

I'm taking all I can take,

You mkae me crawl from,

Lies of hate,

You mkae me crawl from,

Lies of hate,

Nobodys watching,

So why do you act like a fake,

I truely had it,

and i'm taking all I can take.

 

 

Lonely For You

(unreleased: played on the '96 tour, '97 tour, and Dave's

played it solo a few times )

 

David Pirner

 

barefoot and pregnant she trys not to bend

the ear of a doctors not much of a friend

the doctors on location missing his kids

and wondering where she went to live

spend time alone and look after your life

remember your loved ones your boyfriends your wifes

and, if you are lonely, and shes lonely too,

then she will stay lonely for you

she will stay lonely for you

come what may

come some day

and she will stay lonely for you

patiently waiting for taxi's to come

to take you away from all you have become

the driver tells stories like he's your best friend

and you hope the ride never ends

to all of the ones who have got no one else

keep their own time and look after themselves

someday you'll meet someone lonely as you

and he will stay lonely for you

yes he will stay lonely for you

come what may

come some day

and I, I will stay lonely for you

Yes, i will stay lonely for you

 

The Game

(same as CV)

by: David Pirner

 

My friends wife, she plays the game,

Plays it with me all the time,

Makes me feel pretty good I guess,

Hey, thats a pretty dress,

But you shouldn't have,

No you shouldn't have,

Let me know,

No you shouldn't have,

Played it so,

Oh play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't play,

Don't play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't Play,

Don't you wanna play the game?

Now if I were a renegade,

And you were the county line,

Would I have to cross it now?

I got yours and you got mine,

But you shouldn't have,

No you shouldn't have,

Let it go,

Oh play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't play,

Don't play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't Play,

Don't you wanna play the game?

But jealousy is just a game,

It ties you up and wraps around your brain,

Makes you feel like you might hurt yourself,

Oh, makes you feel insane,

Oh play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't play,

Don't play with me,

Don't play with me,

Don't Play,

Don't you wanna play the game?

Don't you wanna play the game?

Don't you wanna play the game?

(do you) wanna play the game?
