The Last Utopians

What to do with the last utopians?
Enjoying their life like they're high on opium
What to do with the last utopians?
Face them with the relentless opprobrium
I know what you're thinking, I know how you feel
Throughout the years life has gotten so real
To idealists like us the world doesn't seem so ideal
Keep it a secret and it's not yet a lie
You can't hide your feelings but you can bottle them inside
In time you believe that I'll grow dissatisfied
But you have never been more wrong in your life
You have never been more wrong in your life
I'll stay with you through the yawns and the sighs
I need no variety, in my life you're the spice
What to do with the last utopians?
Enjoying their life like they're high on opium
What to do with the last utopians?
Face them with the relentless opprobrium
I've read through the papers and I've read through the scripts
Everyone goes through their share of potholes and dips
But for all of the struggles of life I believe we're equipped
So many believe in love, many more love to hate
So many weak bonds tend to disintegrate
And if you believe that we can't cooperate
Then I'll say
You have never been more wrong in your life
You have never been more wrong in your life
I'll stay with you through the yawns and the sighs
I need no variety, in my life you're the spice
You have never been more wrong in your life
You have never been more wrong in your life
I'll stay with you through the yawns and the sighs
I need no variety, in my life you're the spice
What to do with the last utopians?
Enjoying their life like they're high on opium
What to do with the last utopians?
Face them with the relentless opprobrium

Hey Joe's Lady

Hey Joe's lady
Don't you look at me crazy
When I tell you just what Joe said
He's loading his gun
I think you better run
Before he finds you and leaves you dead
Cause some little birdie done tweeted in his ear
That you spent a fortnight in my bed
You've been my sweet baby
And I know it sounds crazy
But he wants you to eat the lead
So long, sweet lover
If you wanna live, you better say goodbye
So long, young lover
Wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Oh baby now don't you cry
Go on, get, and say goodbye
Hey Joe's lady,
You know your old man's crazy
Got a screw loose, don't you know?
Once he's done his deed
He's gonna let you bleed
And then he'll flee down to Mexico
I can't contain this wildfire
So I think it's best you go
So hey my sweet baby
I know it sounds crazy
Better pack your bags and roll
So long, sweet lover
If you wanna live, you better say goodbye
So long, young lover
Wipe those teardrops from your eyes
Oh baby now don't you cry
Go on, get, and say goodbye
Hey Joe's lady,
You know your old man's crazy
Got a screw loose, don't you know?
Once he's done his deed
He's gonna let you bleed
And then he'll flee down to Mexico
So hey my bae
One last thing to say
That I'll always love you so
So on second thought I oughta grab my gun
And I'll kill that fucker Joe
Yeah I'll kill that fucker Joe
We can run away to Mexico together
Once I kill that fucker Joe

You're Just a Memory

Your love is like a movie
Kissing, rolling in the snow
So fast, our lives were moving
With you, I let the whole world go
You are now but a memory
A chunk that I cannot erase
In time, I'll see the life in front of me
This movie won't let me face
And into the light I'll find
A brighter shade and hue
This love had taken all of me
This love was the love of you
It's funny how we never could only be just friends
And after all these years we'll never make amends
I'll never try to call you - I have my reasons
You're just a memory
You're just a memory
Your love is like a movie
Kissing, rolling in the snow
You thought you'd never lose me
Oh what little did you know
I live to learn - and love again
Another soul much more
Darkness told me to stay in
But I opened up my door
And into the light I'll find
A greater love beyond the script
And she will always blow my mind
Once that script is flipped
Her love is like a movie
Kissing, rolling in the snow
So fast, our lives are moving
With her, I let your memory go
It's funny how we never could only be just friends
And after all these years we'll never make amends
I'll never try to call you - I have my reasons
You're just a memory
You're just a memory

Chip

Steady
Steady
Steady that hand
Right down the line
I'm the pin-striping man
Freebase to freehand
Get the shakes out on time
And if I can't paint for shit
I'll take a sniff from the can
You lend me some money?
It's been a tough year
Hard to grab life by the horns
When you're unable to steer
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck"
with a scorn
So I'm stuck in reverse
But my family don't care
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck,
You gotta make it on your own
Go out and pinstripe some trucks"
They say "Chip,
We can't do this no more"
I made off with what I could
And got my ass out the door
Lay down a fresh coat of primer
Cause I need a cold start
Some call me a con
But god damn this is art
I've been told all the time
You can't make a turd shine
But I'll bet I could sell your beater
Or your hooptie for parts
Called up old chrome-haired Billy
Garage full of slick rides
He likes the fresh cherry paint
And his flames on the sides
Well I'm his object of pity
So he lent me some notes
So I hooked up my trailer
And I'm off in the night
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck,
You gotta make it on your own
Go out and pinstripe some trucks"
They say "Chip,
We can't do this no more"
I made off with what I could
And got my ass out the door
Steady
Steady
Steady that hand
Line after line
I'm the pin-striping man
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck"
With a scorn
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck,
You better go on home now, boy"
They say "Chip, boy,
You're shit out of luck"
