Patience,
Patience
It's all I know,
It's all I know
Well, you would
See me follow
Well, follow
All your rules
And you would
Have me bend
Well, bend down and lick
Your shoes
Well I, I will not be had
No, I will not be had that way
So you, you can take your things
You can take your things and leave today
Waiting,
Waiting
It's what I do,
It's what I do
Well Time,
It flies right on by
Like a snail,
It flies on by
And sorrows
Well, they come and go
It's enough to
Make the whole world cry
Well there's a place I know
I know I've heard of it, I swear
Where people ain't got no cares
But today I can't remember just where
Well I don't see
And I don't hear
Well, I can't feel
Nobody come runnin' to me

Unspoken Agenda

Well you got your lovin' on
And your game is strong
You think you can go all night long
You got another thing comin'
Well your mouth is bigger than your eyes
You could prob'ly eat the sky, if only you could see it
And you wish you could purge your skin
Of all your ugly, self-sacrificing sin
What's that sound?
It's flamin' brimstone rainin' down
But don't you worry
'Cause it ain't no use to hurry
Well your someone left the room
A sign of your impending doom
You notice there's a hole in your soul real soon
So you take another puff on your paranoia
Well who's gonna save you now?
Who's good enough to clean your plow?
You look and look for days and days nights
You better get started, ooo you'd better set your sights
What's your secret?
I promise I will keep it
But I will not tell you mine, though
'Cause it's the only thing I know

Verse 1:
If you don't care,
It's okay.
If you don't want to,
You don't have to say.
Verse 2:
If you don't want me around,
It's alright;
I will do my best,
To keep out of sight.
Bridge 1:
But before I go,
I want you to know
Chorus 1:
I care,
My heart's exploding!
I want to say,
My ego empire's imploding!
Verse 3:
If you give up,
It's okay.
If you wanna hide,
I'll look the other way.
Verse 4:
If you don't trust me,
You're smarter than the rest.
If you're inclined to doubt me,
C'mon and be my guest.
Bridge 2:
But lend me your ear,
This you've got to hear
Chorus 2:
I'll try,
Until my breath leaves me!
I won't run,
Right here's where I'll be!
And I don't trust you either,
If ya wanna know,
But that's the way with us humans
And I love you so...

Chorus:
I been walkin' all along this road (3 times)
Ain't never been no, ain't never been no place to stop
(3 times)
Verse 1:
Everybody comes and waves and goes right on by (3 times)
Chorus:
I been walkin' all along this road (3 times)
Ain't never been no, ain't never been no place to stop
Verse 2:
Well, I've traveled so far, I'm miles and miles away (3 times)
Breakdown:
I would walk away from a burning sadness,
Let its flames lick the sky;
I don't want no more ugly counterfeits from a land that would have me to die.
This is where we say "Goodbye", you and I.
I don't take no favors, but my god, what I wouldn't give for a "Hello"!
You know, leavin' is goin' and goin' is leavin' and this is the way it goes.
Verse 3:
Well, I get further and further away each day (3 times)
Chorus:
I been walkin' all along this road (3 times)
Ain't never been no, never been no place to stop
(Vocalizing)
I been walkin' all along this road (3 times)
Ain't never been no, ain't never been no (3 times)
Place to stop

It's cold outside, when you're covered in fruit!
It's cold outside when you're naked!
It's cold outside, in your Birthday Suit!
Verse 2:
It's cold outside when you're naked!
It's cold outside, in your Birthday Suit!
It's cold outside when you're naked!
It's cold outside, when you're covered in fruit!
