Poor Narrator Lyrics

"Poor Narrator"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

verse 1

I'm just your poor narrator

I've got no stories to tell

I speak on no one's behalf

for all the things that I left

before my final farewell

We all just want to be happy

in a world of our own

I can change what I do 

but its better for you 

just to leave me alone

I'm not your ordinary stranger

we both got nothing to say

you walk right past when we meet in the street

pretending everything is okay

but you don't know me do you

yeah, i bet it's none of your concern

and at the end of the day

you take home what you earn

chorus:

In the land of the Plenty

we all just want to be free

see god don't have no say around here

and you can do just what you please

A quarter wheat for a penny

we go by what we know

and we live this lie until the day we die

when the devil come and take our soul

verse 2

give me my barley

give me my gold

give me my piece of the dream, 

piece of your life, 

piece of your mind

give me my car dealer,

give me my competition corner store

I want sixteen women on the day I day

and then I want sixteen more

chorus again

end

Modern World Lyrics

"Modern World"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

Sitting alone in his rocking chair with a pistol in his hand,

Karl Dane has got nothing left to give

You see his face at the picture show

In the silent days, the only life that he'd know

But by the middle of April he had no reason to live

And when he opened his mouth, you'd probably say the same

Invention of sound, and Karl Dane was out of the game

Give him a job, $5 a day

Yeah, the studio said that that was all they would pay

And when they found him dead

He left himself for no one to claim

Chorus:

It's a modern world that we live in and you got no play to go 

It's a modern world that we live in and it just ain't made for me

In the show of the freaks, yeah, I would probably guess

You'd find her standing there with hair from her chin to her chest

And then they shut it down, they found it politically incorrect

So it was on with the high heels and off with the beard

When she had a good shave she didn't look half weird

So now its nights on the corners just to come up with rent

And it's a shame the way Marcel would treat her so unkind

She picked up the pipe to make it through the day

Well you can find her there, face down in the drain

2 inches of water in the grave that she lay

Chorus

Jesse James, Pat Garrett, Billy the Kid

Ain't no room inside this world for all the things that they did

Yeah, Rudolph Valentino, even Cool Hand Luke

Just like a king, queen, pharaoh, like a jester or duke

Robert Lewis Stevenson and Jekyll and Hyde 

Ed Gene, The Unibomber, Bonnie and Clyde 

Randal McMurphy, I think he flew too high

Miles Davis, Ellington, and Holiday

Even Dylan's having trouble trying to make it today

It's a shame to say "That's just the way that it goes" 

Gene Kelly tap-dancing, singing the blues

Bootlegging whiskey, prohibition of booze 

I don't know what to do, I'll just have to learn I suppose

Chorus

G                     D                     G                    D

late night my shoes are worn, in a diner its 2 in the morn

G                  D                       G          D      G

and i wonder what will i do tonight

G                               D                    G                                   D

cup of coffee and a cigarette more, clock above me reads 2:04

G                           D                           G     D      G

and the nightowls all got a story to tell

       Am                                  C                                             G             D                            

the girl with the short hairs parents wont speak to her no more

       Am                          C                                       G                         D

they call her an unholy dyke and they call her a whore (oh well)

order a bagel, butter and all, think to myself as i stare at the wall

killin time, counting the change in my hand..

dark man, sits on my right, shades keeping his eyes out of light

drinks his coffee just as black as his skin..

the man with the pack and the black hat sits in the back

his white eyes glow (like a fire burns bright in the act)

"WHOOOW"  and the fat man comes in with little hair

his wife is unfaithful but he doesn't care as long as he can hold her tight at night

"YEAH" and the waitress julie is a poet now, she writes her stories on a paper towel

to publish them someday she says she might.

and the man in the back with the black hat stands and he grins

the first word he says all night is 'let the show begin'

Julie wants to have some fun so she takes a butter knife and cuts

her fingers off one by one to find a problem now she tries to start on the next hand

yea, and the fat man strips down the whore she cries to herself and 

defecates on the floor, i don't think i want the second half of my bagel no more..

the fat man started to say how he wants to kill his wife, 

as the dyke cuts off his tongue with a jagged knife.

bridge:

Em                    

and the two are making passionate love 

             G                                                  G      B7

and the dark blind man thinks hes seen enough, 

Em                                       

so he takes julies pen from her right hand 

             G                                              G       B7

and he stabs his eyes as according to plan, 

cause the man in the back simple laughs and he smiles

and the blood spills out on linoleum tile

and the fat man starts to eat the flesh of the whore

yea the moods a little different than a minute before

harmonica solo

I reach down for the last cigarette in the pack, walk over and sit with the man in the back i ask him why, he tips his hat and he smiles.

I Wish I had a Wish

"I Wish I Had a Wish"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

I wish I had a wish that I could wish away  x3

I'd make my wish today. 

I wish I had a dollar so I could payx3

I'd pay your way back home

But I don't have a dollar so I can't pay, and wishes don't come true

And I still can't forget the day I said goodbye to you

but the sun still shines and the rain still falls and runs right out to sea

But when the moon is high, I want you here with me

I wish I had a bible so I could prayx3

I'd pray I'd see you soon

But I don't have a bible, so I can't pray to heaven up so high

And I don't think god would hear my prayer even if I try

But the sun still shines and the rain still falls, and runs right out to sea 

but when the moon is high, I want you hear with me

Intro

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I see the world from at a bigger size

But I never seem to realize

What happens when my life is done

What began and what must end

I try to find and comprehend

But in the end I just pretend

what happens when I'm gone

When my life is done

Verse 1

Some songs are happy

Some songs are sad

Some songs are really well rehearsed 

And other songs are bad

Well some songs are angry 

And some songs are sweet

Some songs are made to help you wake up in the morning 

Well heres a little song to help you go back to sleep…

Chorus

There isn't any God and when you die you're just dead

And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed

Sometimes I think about the chance that I'm wrong

But then I close my eyes and sing the words to this song

There isn't any God and when you die you're just dead

And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed

There aint nobody watching us cause nobody cares

and In the end we're living all alone

Verse 2

If I could live forever

Id do it if I could

leave it all behind everything that I've done

Its almost just as bad as if its never begun

If I was a believer

Lord knows Ive tried

Well I could be at peace when I close my eyes

And I could go to heaven on the day that I die

Chorus

Bridge

Love doesn't matter cause you die in the end

Money doesn't matter cause you die in the end

Life doesn't matter cause you die in the end

But its really never over, no its really never over

LYRICS and Chords

by Rusty Cage

Verse Chords: G D Am Em

Chorus Chords: G D C G D, G D C Cm

Verse 1

Through the bars, the sun goes down.  I sit alone in my padded cell.

Waiting for the morning to come, My baby's locked in room 101

And I know what the doctor said about the voices inside of my head

can I find love in a place like this? Yea a little dab'll do ya know.

We we were out in the yard when I first saw you there

running your fingers through your malnourished hair

I asked you to be my woman, yea and you said maybe

it ain't easy being crazy, but I'm crazy for you baby.

Chorus:

I'll be your Bellevue Boy, if you'll be my psychopathic woman

we'll spend the rest of our lives, talking to ourselves, bouncing off the walls all night

Verse 2

ike the spider eats the fly, the bird eats the spider

you drink your pills and wash it down with apple cider

my friends they tell me they like you, they live in my head

I think about you when they strap me to the bed

Chorus
