You can't win
The car will return
With no one behind the wheel
Then
Drive away
You can't win
The beast will appear
But only to you
And no one
Believes you
No one
I'll bring your houses right next to mine
Woodland, Churchill, Lawrence, and Vine
When the sky bends down to spit on the trees
Will you leave me there in once piece?
And you can't win
The car will return
With someone behind the wheel
Then
Drive away

Don't touch me
Don't touch me
With dirty hands
God knows where they've been
God knows where they've been
The top of the list
Or the bottom of sin
Don't look at me
Don't look at me
With those eyes
God knows what they've seen
God knows what they've seen
All the unthinkable
All the unclean
When virtue takes the day off
All the pigs will eat from the trough
All the pigs eat from the trough
Shall I begin where I left off
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me
With those lips
God knows what they've kissed
God knows what they've kissed
The animal tongue
Or the prostitute fist
Don't touch me
Don't touch me
With dirty hands
God knows where they've been
God knows where they've been
God knows where they've been

Your house is still there
It looks like garbage
And you sit on the porch
With some old woman
A little statue
A broken shelf
I’m glad you’re laughing
I like to look back and laugh myself
You live by the Venture
Where the cars go
With their lights off
By the Venture
Behind the Venture
Your house is on fire
It has been for ages
Burning alive
All while it rages
Life is a gift
It keeps on giving
See what you’ve done
Look where you’re living
You’ll always live
By the Venture to me
You’ll always live
By the Venture to me

Walk around
In your down
Till you've seen
The whole thing
Evry house
Holds on
Tell a lie
Till it's true
To be loved
By the likes of you
Could be something
Could be

Incident At White Hen

In your pocket
Or the bedroom
Or the place you'd rather be
From the backyard
Through a window
Tell me who you see
When all you want is more
They'll ask you what it's for
Again
It shoots one in the sky
It puts one in the ground
They'll stick one in your eye
Or the fortune you found
It takes one from the back
Then puts two in a row
It's someone you trust
It's a person you know
Then
When you get your turn
Come just to watch it burn
Could you?
How could you?

High Pointe Drive

Your mother and my father bought a house
Your mother and my father bought a house
With a deck and a garage
And a hundred rooms
And a basement wall of doors
Surrounded you
In trouble, in trouble afternoon
In trouble, in trouble in your room
For looking through the hole
At the girl next door
Who would brush her sister's hair
A hundred times
Slow river, low river, waterfall
Slow river, no river after all
For a place is never small
Till it's been seen
Time has worn away the hill from our ravine

White Oaks Mall
Before you were born
I drove my car
Around and around
For days on end
From town to town
The fog and the rain
The window down
Stop where you stand
A girl and a man
Are gone from sight
Ten years from now
I tried to get back
I don't know how
White Oaks Mall
The signs are gone
I can't see the light
I don't know the song

1992
The year you almost drown
You crept and crawled into
The house we both share now
The phone falls from your hand
And both your legs begin to fail you
In the morning you will see
Me standing over you
Enjoying this
And I'll say
Something distasteful
In 1995
You met someone but then
As long as you're alive
You'll always have a friend
And I'll know
I'll know
You can be good again

Same game
If without
And you can't win
If you didn't begin
No you can't win . . .
(can't win)
(can't win)
Same game
If without
And you can't win
What you didn't begin
No you can't win . . .
