Dead And Gone

Hey Kenny I heard that you'd passed away
Just another Saturday night mystery
Living it up done dragged you down
Another tombstone going into the ground
I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young
Audrey was the queen of the parking lot
Friday night up at the Bottle Shop
I heard she cleaned up but that depends
She left two little kids behind in the end
I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young
I don't have time to mourn
You're not the only one
Just another old friend but now you're dead and gone
Been a few years since I heard your name
Hadn't seen your face since we were seventeen
The life you led catching up too soon
Well, I hope the good book's been good to you
I don't have time to mourn
Now that you're dead and gone
Just another old friend that's left this life too young
I don't know how to mourn
Y'know I'm getting numb
Just another old friend and now you're dead and gone
Yeah, you're dead and gone
Yeah, you're dead and gone
You're dead and gone
Yeah, you're dead and gone

Baby you and me
Should get lost at sea
Ya we don't have to leave this bed
And we ain't gonna sleep
We could pull the blinds
Leave the world behind
I know you like to hide
From the daylight
So pull me in close
Feel your undertow
Don't ever let me go
We're going overboard
I'm a lock the door
Ya I know we're all alone
No little voices down the hall
Distracting us at all, oh no
And we could pull the blinds
Leave the world behind
I know you like to hide
From the daylight
So pull me in close
Feel your undertow
Don't ever let me go (don't ever let me go)
We're going overboard
Ya we could pull the blinds
Leave the world behind (ooh)
I know you like to hide
From the daylight
So pull me in close
Feel your undertow
Don't ever let me go (don't ever let me go)
We could pull the blinds
Leave the world behind
I know you like to hide
From the daylight
So pull me in close
Feel your undertow
Don't ever let me go (we're going overboard)
We're going overboard

Black Top White Lines

Well, that rear views meant for something, but it ain't looking back
Fuzzy dice next to Jesus in her Pontiac
Well, the police ain't seen Jimmy in a week or two
What hole he's in, only she knows the damn truth
So, it's black top and them little white lines
Hid the shovel in the trunk with the homemade shine
California bound Alabama behind
Black top and them little white lines
Well Jimmy made his last mistake when he raised that hand
Now he's six feet under outside of Birmingham
Well Jimmy and the devil probably doing alright
And she'll be in Hollywood by Saturday night
So, it's black top and them little white lines
Hid the shovel in the trunk with the homemade shine
California bound Alabama behind
Black top and them little white lines
She knew killing a man was illegal
But she'd done enough time
But letting Jimmy live
Well, that felt like a crime
So, it's black top and them little white lines
Hid the shovel in the trunk with the homemade shine
California bound Alabama behind
Black top and them little white lines
Black top and them little white lines
Hid the shovel in the trunk with the homemade shine
California bound Alabama behind
Black top and them little white lines

Damage Control
03:39

So tired of fucking around
I got a lot to learn
I've been uncovered and found
So light a match and let's burn
Ain't seen that look for a while
The one that scares me to my bones
Don't take it away
My damage control
Thrown down the stairs but I'm sound (sound)
I slipped the noose for a while
So cavalier til you're down (down)
I'll sway in time and with style
Ain't seen that look for a while
The one that soothes me to my soul
Don't take it away
My damage control
So tired of fucking around
We got a lot to learn
I've been uncovered and found
So light a match and let's burn
Ain't seen that look in a while
The one that scares me to my bones (don't take it away)
Ain't seen that look in a while
The one that soothes me to my soul
Don't take it away
My damage control

Good morning sunshine
Blue eyes opening slow
Make your way down the stairway
Girl I got you a rose
Well the boys they been waiting
Birthday cards in tow
One more year on your shoulders
Honey don't you know I know
Don't let it weigh
Don't let it weigh you down
I know ya get tired kicking yourself around
Some days you stumble, but ya get up off the ground
Let go of your troubles
And don't let em weigh you down
Well ya know it's a big one
Gets bigger every year
But ya earned a little birthday cake
Haven't you my dear?
So don't ya worry bout the numbers
Cuz they don't mean nothing here
So blow a big kiss, and make a wish
And watch your worries disappear
Don't let it weigh
Don't let it weigh you down
I know ya get tired kicking yourself around
Some days you stumble, but ya get up off the ground
Let go of your troubles
And don't let em weigh you down
Oh-oh why would we give a damn
Bout those rings around our eyes
When we got our toes in the sand
Under a big blue sky?
Don't let it weigh
Don't let it weigh you down
I know ya get tired kicking yourself around
Some days you stumble, but ya get up off the ground
Let go of your troubles
And don't let em weigh you down

Throwing matches carelessly
Into a bottle of gasoline

To go through whatever you're going through
Girl, what you want me to do?
Cuz you used to save that look for me

If you want me to stay, put out the fire
Before I'm out the door

Where there's smoke
There's a wildfire to burn us out
Cuz baby when I go (I'm gonna burn the whole house down)

But if I go you'd miss me
Now this ain't the birthday we had planned
But I don't give a damn
While I'm still your man
Staring at the sun down the 101
Wondering what we've done
And what we're running from?
This broken heart's still stronger than my tongue
And the damage has just begun
Cuz baby when I go
I'm gonna burn the whole house down
Baby when I go

Last night, last call
Locked in the basement of Johnny's bar, oh yeah
Where'd everybody go?
Making wishes and blowing kisses
My promises get broke and twisted ya

Cocaine shame, forgot your name and I won't sleep a wink
Til the whiskey's gone and no one's singing along
And there's nothing left to drink - oh no!
Where'd everybody go?
Where'd everybody go?
Where'd everybody go?
Seemed like just a minute ago
Jenny poured the drinks and turned up the radio
Where'd everybody go?
This motel room is dark and empty
The shades are drawn but I'm still tempted yeah
Where'd everybody go?
Cocaine shame, forgot your name and I won't sleep a wink
Til the whiskey's gone and no one's singing along
And there's nothing left to drink - oh no!
Where'd everybody go?
Where'd everybody go?
Here we go!
Well the names have changed to protect the guilty
I'm standing tall if slightly tilted
Baby, where'd everybody go?
Ya I'm the funniest motherfucker born to lose
But everybody's girl follows me to the bathroom
Baby, where'd everybody go?
Last night, last call
Locked in the basement of Johnny's bar, oh yeah
Where'd everybody go?
Where'd everybody go?
Where'd everybody go?

Parties
02:28

Have you noticed how hard it is
Not to start arguments
With everybody you know?
Yeah, my family and friends
Are at their wits ends
Their anger is starting to show
At dinner last night
I started a fight
Put my boot in my mouth once again
Guess the goalposts have changed
I tried to explain
But I don't think they're listening
So I don't get in
I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
So I don't get in
No, I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
Ya I don't read the right magazines
Think the right fantasies
Listen to their talking heads
But I'm not what they say I am
Don't really give a damn
I've got nothing to defend
And I've noticed how hard it is
Not to start arguments
With everybody I know
Yeah, I tried to explain
They said I'm insane
Their anger is starting to show
So I don't get in
I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
No I don't get in
I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
So I don't get in
I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
Maybe I'm out of touch and don't give a fuck
And I don't get invited to parties no more
No I don't get in
I don't get in
No I don't get invited to parties no more
No I don't get in
I don't get in
I don't get invited to parties no more
No I don't get invited your parties
No I don't get invited your parties
No I don't get invited to your parties no more
I didn't wanna come anyway

It's been a long time since the last new Ben Folds album, and I like this one better than Way to Normal or So There. The only exception is the single, "Exhausting Lover," which I always skip. "Winslow Gardens" is my favorite track.
