Dark House

Every night you come home to a dark house
Every day you slave out on the floor
And you hate to come home to a dark house
Like you've done so many times before
It's a short walk home from the bus stop
You're draggin' your feet the whole way
'Cause you hate to come home to dark house
It gets harder each and every day
You're all smiles and laughs all day long
But as soon as the key's in the door
When you come home late to a dark house
Your heart just sinks like a stone
Some nights you go wandering in a dark house
Some nights when you just can't sleep
Some nights you wake up in a dark house
In the middle of some lonesome dream
Well, you woke up suddenly in a cold sweat
Burst right out of the door
A full moon shining on your dark house
You take off running down the road

The Price Of Happiness
03:42

I once had a hope
That things would soon get better
I thought if we could tough it out
That we could stay together
But when it's bad, the bad, they say, is sometimes for the best
And a broken home and a thousand tears
Is the price of happiness
Once you've rolled the dice
And when all bets been made
As the story goes there ain't no way
Of knowing what you'll get
Ten years down the road you'll see what everyone now says
That a broken home and a thousand tears
Is the price of happiness
Once you cross your heart
There ain't no turning back
But when you hold a tiny hand
Your mind just turns to black
Yeah, in your darkest hour, man, it just don't makes no sense
How a broken home and a thousand tears
Is the price of happiness

Laid Off

"There's a shortage of work"
That's what the letter said
"There's a change in demand
And we have to look ahead
Your position with us
Is in a transition phase"
They don't call it "laid off"
But that's what it is
They should just come right out say
Exactly what they mean
Now I don't have a job anymore
That's the gist of it
"The production structure
Has got to be reformed
2.0's gonna roll out
You're hereby informed
That your total employment time
Is a little too short"
They don't call it "laid off"
But that's what it is
They should just come right out say
Exactly what they mean
Now I don't have a job anymore
That's the gist of it
"In case of a vacancy
If something opens up
We'll be sure to get back to you
And inform you there of
Until then the conditions and terms
Are as stated above"
They don't call it "laid off"
But that's what it is
They should just come right out say
Exactly what they mean
Now I don't have a job anymore
That's the gist of it

You're breaking all the dishes
You curse and slam the door
You're screaming in my face
Then you go punching the walls
But I'm not the one your mad at
Babe, I'm not the one
Won't you come here in my arms
I'm not the one your mad at after all
You come home with a frown
A cloud over your head
You snap at every word I say
And bring all that to bed
But I'm not the one your mad at
Babe, I'm not the one
Won't you come here in my arms
I'm not the one your mad at after all
You know people drive you crazy
Drive you up the wall
What's behind their phony smiles
Is hard to figure out
But I'm not the one your mad at
Babe, I'm not the one
Won't you come here in my arms
I'm not the one your mad at after all

A Lighter Touch

Life don't have to be a constant push against the grain
There's ways to go 'bout doing things that won't drive you insane
That work just as well
But hurt half as much
If you take on life
With a lighter touch
I'll run my head against the wall to try to prove a point
Then there's all those lucky folks who just kinda drift along
Who do just as good
But hurt half as much
Who take on life
With a lighter touch
I got rules, hard and fast, and certain principles
But now and then I catch a glimpse of freedom as it is
That seem just as good
But hurt half as much
You gotta take on life
With a lighter touch

Well, I'm right back here in the good doc's office this morning
And it's not like the doctor didn't see me coming
We've been through this about a hundred times
I come in screamin' like I think I'm dying
So this morning the doc just smiled and looked me in the eye
And I broke right down, I cried...
This time
Think I've finally lost my mind
'Cause everything else checks out just fine
Yeah, this time
I think I've finally lost my mind
Yeah, we both know, Doc, it was bound to happen sometime
Well, I've been up all night pacing the floor again
I wind myself up to the point of snappin', man
Yeah I can see that what I'm doing is crazy
And I guess I've turned the crazy up lately
So this morning the doc just smiled and looked me in the eye
And I broke right down, I cried...
This time
Think I've finally lost my mind
'Cause everything else checks out just fine
Yeah, this time
I think I've finally lost my mind
Yeah, we both know, Doc, it was bound to happen sometime
And I broke right down, I cried...
This time
Think I've finally lost my mind
'Cause everything else checks out just fine
Yeah, this time
I think I've finally lost my mind
Yeah, we both know, Doc, it was bound to happen sometime

Separate ways
That's how you want it
Separate ways
So that's what we'll do
Separate ways
To hell with it all and...
Separate ways
…here's goodbye to you
Separate ways
You said you were sorry
Separate ways
But it didn't take long
Separate ways
'Til you found somebody..
Separate ways
...new to string long
Separate ways
That's what you wanted
Separate ways
So that's what we did
Separate ways
But here you come callin'
Separate ways
Asking me to forgive
