When I was a young boy, this is what I’d do at night Ten cents for a shoeshine, a dollar for some dynamite All work and no play Don’t make it okay Dummy up, you don’t say Get away, get away, get away, get away It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes Oh, man, forget you, your dreams will never come alive Sitting in your bedroom, listening to 45’s Hey, what you know, Jack You could get your life back If you made the right track Look at that, look at that, look at that, look at that It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes Mother, mother, may I, may I say that I don’t mind I’ve always been a dollar short, but that’s what made me pennywise All work and no play Don’t make it okay Dummy up, you don’t say Get away, get away, get away, get away It’s time to open your mouth and close your eyes

Down in your heart A strong emotion Run like river Deep like ocean. Way down in your heart... I see no reason To leave you lonesome. The ride is easy, The way is open—wide open. I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it. The page is flapping... Why don’t you turn it? A major lesson... Why don’t you learn it? I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it. Down in your heart A strong emotion...can you feel it? You cannot go wrong. A good decision—and you know it. I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see those walls go up And can’t do nothin’ about it. I can just see I lost your trust And can’t do nothin’ about it.

I know you're leaving. I don't believe it. Don't you feel that love, and don't you need it? I've been conceited and I've been defeated. I have played that game and I won't repeat it. No I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now. I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow. I'm not giving up right now, no, not right now. I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow... Always make it through somehow. Rolling over, not your shoulder, Not you next to me. We must have closure. See, I'm growing older, a rolling boulder. It was meant for me, to give control up. But I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now. I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow. I'm not giving up right now, no, not right now. I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow... Always make it through somehow. Not right now. Not right now. Holding on for today, anyway, anyhow. Holding strong...not for long...not too late...not right now... Holding on for today, anyway, anyhow. Holding strong...not for long...not too late...not right now... Hate the mornings, heed the warnings, Read the signs ahead, and feel the longing.. Now, I’ve been mistaken, but you can't fake this. They said to give it up, but no no I can’t take it. No I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now. I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow. I'm not giving up right now. Not right now. I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow... We'll always make it through somehow.

Now, I was wasted when you started / rolling over... in the night Heard the door slam broken-hearted / I was wrong yeah... but this ain’t right There was no note in the kitchen / but I read it all the same All the furniture was missing / took your picture out the frame Chorus But there was a ball and chain / there was a ball and chain That you left me, baby / That you left me babe (2x) All our friends have turned up missing / They just fade away...outta sight. All our dreams... now just wishes / on a dying star in the night. I been dragging through the city—all the memories of you. Now, I’ve been faking it, heart-aching it...what more can I do? Chorus Now I don't go out on the weekend / There is nothin there for me And I don't swim out past the deep end / cuz you draaaag meeee doooown too deeeeep Yeah there was a ball and chain / there was a ball and chain That you left me, baby / That you left me babe (2x)

Split 03:17
It’s just a song Ain’t nothin’ wrong. Y’ ain’t take m’ life. Y’ ain’t break the law. Y’ done what you thought was right. You been doin’ it all along. Wedding ring on the shelf. The car was parked on the lawn. You came and you saw then you split and you conquered me. Cheated repeatedly hit and you plundered me. Wasted my time, yes, you played with my mind. Yes, you did it... you did it...you did it so suddenly. You took my name. You gave me love. You shook my knees. You drew my blood. Your name was Rose. You’re made of thorns. You showed me wings. You gave me horns. You came and you saw then you split and you conquered me. Cheated repeatedly hit and you plundered me. Wasted my time, yes, you played with my mind. Yes, you did it... you did it...you did it so suddenly. A man is made Of many bricks, But underneath It’s only sticks. Our love is glass. It’s an empty jar. A heart o’ hay. A soul o’ straw. You came and you saw then you split and you conquered me. Cheated repeatedly hit and you plundered me. Wasted my time, yes, you played with my mind. Yes, you did it... you did it...you did it so suddenly. You came and you saw then you split and you conquered me. Cheated repeatedly tripped and you blundered. You wasted my time. Yes, you played with my mind. Yes, you did it... you did it... you did it so suddenly.
