Feeding The rat
The silver light, the darkest green
The curves and shades of Portland streets
I'm feeding the rat
Clouds and friends and neon lights
Picking steel strings on a Saturday night
I'm feeding the rat
Another day to love, time will tell and just because
The view from here it's a telegraph hill
The swish of cars and time to kill
I'm feeding the rat
Roll the die it's lucky seven's
Mow the lawn and go to heaven
I'm feeding the rat
Another day to love, time will tell and just because
I'm on the road not a moment too soon
It's only me and the big old moon
I'm feeding the rat
Summertime in old P-town
Got my tight jeans on need a long legged gal
I'm feeding the rat
Another day to love, time will tell and just because 2x
Another day to love
Highway 99
Another tension ride down Highway 99
I am taking her home after a fight
She doesn't have a car and it's mostly up to me
Well, I usually don't mind but this is no treat
'cause sitting here so close there is no where to hide
the air is thick you could cut it with a knife
so we stare straight ahead as we rocket down the road
so very close yet so much alone
bet I've learned every curve from her door to mind
We have done this so much I could almost do it blind
I don't know exactly what to say
'except how much lower can you go?
playing out our love in a dirty old
don't even know what to say?
wasting all my time
messes with my mind
I'm gonna find a different way
I'm gonna learn a different way to drive
Highway 99 no is not a friend of mine
There have been too many times with these long lonely drives
I can do without the memories
Do without the blues
Do without the grief that I always get from you
No I don't like it, no I don't
This is not the way I heard that love is supposed to go
It's a long bitter ride and a long stupid road
Specially when she's there and she's so damn cold
So I drop her off, head up the road
And it's me once again all alone
No I don't like it, no I don't
This is not the way I heard that love is supposed to go
So I ain't gonna do it anymore
Playing out my love in this stupid old car
Don't even know what to say
Wasting all my time
Messes with my mind
Gonna find a different way
I'm gonna learn a different way to drive.
Dictionary
Sometimes we need a Dictionary at night
We talk so much the words don't want to come out right
I'm talking with you darling, trying to keep you with me
You just gotta try and tell me exactly what you need
I get out my paper, I have to go find a pen
I'm the kind of man who writes things down
Try not to do them wrong again
I did not mean to hurt you,
I don't know why it worked that way
but maybe it ain't always going to have to be that way
It's not very funny, I think it's mostly strange
After so many long years together
Things had to end that way
No talking, no words to say
I wish you'd tell me honey
Why you do that way?
Sometimes we need a Dictionary at night
We talk so much the words don't want to come out right
I'm talking with you darling, trying to keep you with me
Won't you say you want me?
Won't you say you need me?
Won't you say you want me and it's true?
