Ain’t that the way it always starts?
A simple round of conversation
Became a shameful equation
I flipped you station to station

Hey, don’t go and turn the other way
Don’t say there’s nothing more to say
Come on, hear me out

Hush, hush, settle down
Button up, don’t make a sound
Shame, shame, go away, come again some other day

You used to say I couldn’t save you enough
So I’ve been savin’ it up, I started savin’ it up
And when you said I couldn’t give you enough
I started givin’ you up, I started givin’ you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh god, you gotta make it stop

Chase all of those memories away
Save them all for another day
Don’t you remember it was rain that drowned you?

Wait
I wanna see if you can shake
I wanna keep all I can take
I feel much better now
Use me up, spit me up, let me be your hand-me-down
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day

You used to say I couldn’t save you enough
So I’ve been savin’ it up, I started savin’ it up
And when you said I couldn’t give you enough
I started givin’ you up, I started givin’ you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh god, you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia
I’m the same as I was in your arms
My sweet Virginia
I’m the same as I was in your heart

Shame, shame, go away, come again some other day
Memories keep haunting me, help me chase them all away
Hush, now, settle down
Button up, don’t make a sound
Close your eyes, turn around
Help me burn this to the ground
Come now, take the blame
That’s okay, I’ll play the game
I don’t care, it’s all the same
Watch it all go up in flames
Use me up, spit me out, let me be your hand-me-down
Fame, fame, go away, come again some other day

You used to say I couldn’t save you enough
So I’ve been savin’ it up, I started savin’ it up
And when you said I couldn’t give you enough
I started givin’ you up, I started givin’ you up

You are not me
Arlandria, Arlandria
You and what army?
Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh god, you gotta make it stop

My sweet Virginia
Oh god, you gotta make it stop
My sweet Virginia
Oh god, you gotta make it stop

Miss the Misery

If I had my way
If I had to lose
Wouldn’t take back one thing
Never had much to choose

Then it dawned on me
Coming down on you
Like a cold sky raining under a burning moon

Been waiting all your life
Your wish is coming true
Bless your heart for beating me right out of you

Miss the misery
Need a reason for a change
Need a reason to explain
So turn it on again
Don’t change your mind
You’re wasting light
Getting this?

What a nice long leash
What a nice tight noose
Never worked for me, but sure would look good on you
Been waiting all your life
Your wish is coming true
Bless your heart for beating me right out of you

Miss the misery
Need a reason for a change
Need a reason to refrain
So turn it on again
Don’t change your mind
You’re wasting light
Getting this?

Miss the misery
Gimme reason for a change
Miss the misery
Gimme reason to refrain
Miss your misery today
Miss your misery today
Come on and turn it on again

Don’t change your mind
You’re wasting light
Don’t make this right
Don’t make this right
Getting this?

can’t get enough of this song

When the Levee Breaks

If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to break
If it keeps on rainin’, levee’s goin’ to break
When the levee breaks, I’ll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don’t it make you feel bad
When you’re tryin’ to find your way home,
You don’t know which way to go?
If you’re goin’ down South
They got no work to do,
If you don’t know about Chicago.

Cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good
Now, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinkin’ about me baby and my happy home.
Going, going to Chicago… Going to Chicago… Sorry but I can’t take you…
Going down… going down now… going down….
