THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY (Mark Chadbourne) When all is said and done And regrets replace all your dreams one by one And time sets a pace that you just can no longer outrun Don't give up And don't give in Yeh, I know That's what they all say Don't lose heart Go deep within 'cause that's what they all say That's what they all say I know you feel dismayed And all your plans mislaid When it's easy to lose all your courage from the pain of which life is made It sounds insane But don't give up Don't give in yeh, I know That's what they all say Don't lose heart Go deep within 'cause that's what they all say That's what they all say doot doo doont doot doo doo... Lift your eyes when your heart sinks low Find the strength you have inside yourself to rise above the heartaches in your life It's who you are It's what you believe It's what you feel It's what you breathe Don't give up And don't give in Yeh, I know That's what they all say Don't lose heart Go deep within 'cause that's what they all say It's who you are It's what you need It's in your heart It's what you bleed © 2013 Mark Chadbourne Artdog Music.

RUINED (Mark Chadbourne) Opened my eyes for the first time in my life Held down Fed dirt At least it gave you something you could talk about It didn't have to be this way When I stood standing you fell away When I went down, you showed that day Well, okay Now that I'm ruined it seems you just might like me more Messy and human Is that what you were waiting for? Tripped up Pushed down Yeh, I know I'm perfectly imperfected Worn down Found out A human being willfully neglected It didn't have to be this way When I stood standing you fell away When I went down, you showed that day Well, okay Now that I'm ruined it seems you just might like me more Messy and human Is that what you were waiting for? Poor, poor me When all goes dark will you be there to hold my hand? Poor, poor me Who will be there for poor, poor me Poor, poor me Pity the guy Reach out your hand out to mine Whose last, final moments are broke and spent So dramatically Who will be there then for me? Poor, poor me Brought back to me (poor, poor me) On your knees! Now that I'm ruined Poor, poor me Messy and human Poor, poor me Opened my eyes for the first time in my life... Ah ha! Ah HA!!! na na, nannah nah nah... Now that I'm ruined Messy and human Now that I'm ruined It seems you just might like me more Messy and human Is that what you were waiting for? © 2013 Mark Chadbourne Artdog Music.

TROUBLED CHILD (Mark Chadbourne) I must now try to untie all of the knots I find in my mind It's incredibly lonely (when nobody visits) It's incredibly lonely (when nobody listens) I must now try to find a way to untie my mind of all of the knots some troubled child has made in my life Deep in the heart there's a place I barely know Deep in the heart there's a place I recognized as home I wouldn't know where to be or where to go There's no place like home, troubled child When you've never had a home of your own it's incredibly lonely Incredibly lonely Go to a world where no one has ever wept And as children we so peacefully slept the sadness away woah oh oh, woah oh oh woah oh oh oh oh... Troubled child Close your eyes troubled child Troubled child... Injured adults and parents make a poor defense Substitute emotions for evidence Deep in the heart there's a place I barely know Deep in the heart woah oh oh oh Close your eyes troubled child Lonely It's incredibly lonely Incredibly lonely Gets incredibly lonely woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh Close your eyes troubled child Troubled child ©2013 Mark Chadbourne Artdog Music.
