RYAN ADAMS – Wasteland

There’s evidence now that’s somebody’s lying
And things to work out bout nobody’s trying
I wish I didn’t care anymore, as if you cared what I was feeling

Look at all the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars

Underneath the dirt whatever i was hiding
is turning into dust the dust is still rising
I wish I didn’t care anymore, but you know I care so little

it’s like I see the stars, watch them colliding
These Stars fighting in their secret wars
Before, before it was inviting, now I’m bored
you don’t impress me and I find you slightly terrifying

It’s your wasteland you have it

RYAN ADAMS – Users

I try so hard to be good
I get these bad ides
I try so hard to be good
It doesn’t always work out
It doesn’t always work out
But I try…

To feel the sunlight on my eyes
Shake off the shadows
That were following me around
It’s very nice you know and quite a lot to take in
To feel the sunlight and start growing again

I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away

And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it…

I like to thing about the clouds…
How they are moving
Sometimes it’s nice to stay home…
When everybody goes out
It’s nice and quiet when they call it’s so loud
I don’t understand

I shuffle cool across the boulevard
My feet move steady, my shoes go up and down
I’m always late you know…
Late and never ready
I keep it steady though
When I get tight and all up right

I taught myself to push it away
I was watching, watching you do it to me
I taught myself to throw it away

And you get used to being happy
you get used to it, used to it, used to it…

Make no mistake to be user don’t mean loser
Witty and cruel they are so easy to confuse
You’ll learn eventually or…
Eventually you’ll lose it…
Eventually you’ll lose it…
Get used to it…

RYAN ADAMS – Ultraviolet Light

This is the silence so nobody understand
Iced ocean leaves our ships just sliding in
Could forming, lighting shooting from it’s hands
Sky’s on fire, make a wish and use it quick my friend

Come on, come on, come on
Let’s go it’s getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let’s go…
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

I see you hovering oblivious to air
The laws of nature don’t apply, don’t apply to her
No wonder that the world came to an end
There was another on the other side
Inside her head

Come on, come on, come on
Let’s go it’s getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let’s go…
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

Shining ultraviolet light

Slow violence only radiates the sand
Delete your messages and…
Come on, come on, come on
Ultraviolet light’s know the best way in
Don’t wake the monsters in my head
Tip toe they’re sleeping in

Come on, come on, come on
Let’s go it’s getting darker
Come on, come on, come on, come on let’s go…
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Before my wish expires
Something bad is on the horizon
Shining ultraviolet light

This was a wish, this was a wish I made…
This was a wish, this was a wish I made…
This was a wish, this was a wish I made…
This was a wish, this was a wish I made…
This was a wish….
Now here comes the light…
Now here comes the light…
Here comes the light…

RYAN ADAMS – Typecast

you and I we were born to play these parts and we play them so well
so well and often sometimes you and I forget you know who we really are
it keeps me locked into the deal

Binary stars, companions in the sky always in orbit but never to collide
we’re just not going supernova any time soon
we’re just two stars out under the moon

Typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won’t they cancel us?
we got a million more seasons to go
oh no, oh yes, we’ve been typecast

every shadow I knew you underneath was just a studio trick, a spotlight on the stage
black bottles to simulate the depth
to manipulate the young and naive and hide your age

we’re worse than liars we’re paid to be fixed
ghost lights in our living rooms for in-between matinées
two lonely stars someplace beyond the moon where the light is coming from
but never receiving or getting any

We’re typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won’t they cancel us?
oh come on, typecast, we play losers who keep falling in love with the wrong ones
Typecast, what a show, why won’t they cancel us?
We’ve been typecast, yeah we’ve been typecast

RYAN ADAMS – The Crystal Skull

I make reservations at the Crystal Skull for me…
For me, and Scarlet, and a a friend of hers
I’m not gonna lie to you it only gets worse
She gets so disconnected when her glass is too full

And Scarlet gets bombed
And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song
Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets lost
And the gloves come off
And she’s like this every night…
Down at the Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull is open all night

I think I was ready for a quiet night…
A quiet night of talking we ended up…
Ended up, ended up downtown
‘Cause Scarlet’s thirsty inside
She’s a fisherman who drains the ocean first…
And then decides

And Scarlet gets bombed
And Scarlet gets high and she breaks into song
Scarlet gets loud, Scarlet gets angry
And Scarlet is so tired…
She’s been swimming for awhile…
Nobody reaches shore riding the crimson tide

Down at the Crystal Skull…
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull
The Crystal Skull is open all night…
Is open all night

And Scarlet’s ready to go out tonight
Go out tonight
Go out tonight
Scarlet’s ready to go out…
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Scarlet’s ready to go out…
Tonight

RYAN ADAMS – Stop Playing With My Heart

Stop dragging my heart around
Stop acting, stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win…

Stop asking if I’m with her
Stop it now before you get what you deserve
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win…
Alright, already you win…

Stop it I’m tired, and I want to go to bed
Stop it I’m half undressed, so get out or get in
Stop it I’m not impressed…
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it….
Stop playing my head…
Alright, already you win…

Stop it I’m not impressed…
So just stop it, just stop it, just stop it….
Stop playing my head…
Alright, already you win…

Stop dragging my heart around
Stop acting, stop fucking around
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win…
Stop playing, stop playing with my head
Alright, already you win…
Stop playing, stop playing with my heart

RYAN ADAMS – Sewers At The Bottom Of The Wishing Well

No time to explain
Always hopeless in a hurry
There’s no one to blame
For an empty heart

Well, well, well
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change our way out
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well

My heart isn’t black
It’s just dirty from the floors
Nobody walks across
Nobody walks across or sleeps on anymore

Well, well, well
Nothing’s gonna change
Nothing’s gonna change, oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well

No one left to blame
No body to dismember
Just a shadow on the floor
A shadow on the floor
From a light that wasn’t on, oh well
Well, well
Nothing’s gonna change
Oh well
Into the sewers at the bottom of the wishing well
The bottom of the wishing well
Wishing well
At the bottom of the wishing well
Oooh
Oooh
Oh

RYAN ADAMS – Rocks

Whatever it is you know you think you want
Well here’s a little something to light the way
Inside your heart where the darkness stays
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
I’m not sure what there is to say
Flickers in mine eye like a memory

I am not rocks
I am not rain
I’m just another shadow in the stream
That’s been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river
I am bursting in tears for it

And the day is dawning

Whatever it is you wanted I think you got
But take a little something to light the way
Inside your mind when the weather is gray
I believe the sun still rises here but when it falls
There is something to be said for the calm at night
When the stars up above are so cold and bright

I am not rocks
I am not rain
I’m just another shadow in the stream
That’s been washed away after all these years
I am not rocks in the river
I am bursting in tears for it

And the day is dawning
And the day is dawning

RYAN ADAMS – P.S.

P.S. I ain’t never comin’ back, I ain’t never comin’ back here again
it’s over we’re through
don’t ask someone to change, don’t ask someone to change
again until you know what you want them to change into
backed up against the wall, somehow you’re still shining through

And by the way, I’m so sorry that I let you down
By the way, it’s true
but anyway, someone’s always gonna let you down
if not me, then who?

P.S. I’m so sorry that I let you down again
I’m so sorry that I let you down…

This is gonna haunt your dreams,
this is gonna haunt your dreams when you sleep to me
Don’t ask someone to change, don’t ask someone to change
until you want to around that mirror back on your own face

Backed up against the wall, somehow you’re still shining through

And by the way, I’m so sorry that I let you down
By the way, it’s true
but anyway, someone’s always gonna let you down
anyway, if not me, then who?
P.S. I’m so sorry that I let you down again
I’m so sorry that I let you down
P.S. I’m so sorry that I let you down again
I’m so sorry that I let you down again

RYAN ADAMS – Numbers

Here comes your song, it’s on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song
Everybody in the backseat, come and sing along

We’re fucked, we’re fucked
There’s been an accident, somebody stole your face
We’re fucked, we’re fucked
You were always something else, there’s nothing to replace

You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Ringing all night, it’s slower than the bar
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
How do you spell
Look way around or replace those numbers?

Here comes your song, it’s on the stereo
So turn it on, so turn it up
Everybody in the backseat’s about to throw up

We’re fucked, we’re fucked
There’s been a tragedy, hardly words remind us, baby
We’re fucked, we’re fucked
Fuck, you walked in a piece, this isn’t war and peace

You were always good enough
There was nothing to replace
You got some shit to throw out
You got some numbers to erase

You got names to forget
Plus some people to call
There was nothing to replace
You’ve been good enough all along

You just got settled in
And you wanna get down
And feel like you are loved
Feel like you are loved

Nobody’s mad at you
These people love you
And they wanna see you are bein’ strong
Wanna see you are bein’ strong

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers

So lose no numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers

So lose the numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers
The names and the phone

Here comes your song, it’s on the stereo
Here comes your song, it’s on the radio
Here comes your song, here comes your song

We’re fucked, we’re fucked
And hung up alone

RYAN ADAMS – No

No silence, no sound
No feeling, on and on and on and on…
Go under and go down again and on and on…

No pressure, no talk
No heartbeat, R-E-S-P-O-N-S-E
I go under and go down again and on and on….

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Is not, is not, is not…
Nobody understands and it’s all I got

No violence profound…
As violence, I act out against myself
When I go under and down again and on and on…

No wonder I fell
Nobody was underneath me there to catch me
When I go under and down again and on and on…

Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Something is wrong, something is wrong
Something that was making me feel good is not
Is not, is not, is not…
Nobody understands and it’s all I got

So liar, stand up
So liar, stand up
Stand up

RYAN ADAMS – My Favorite Song

My favorite song, don’t know how it goes
It’s temperamental like the static coming over the radio
When I signal to her satellite, nobody is home
And oh, she’s never in danger and never met a stranger

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I’m gone
Like a book in a fireplace, too hot to read
All hot and on fire, let’s go to sleep

By the way, I’m free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie or something
You’re my favorite

My favorite songs go by, people stare
You know they need a lot of oxygen and like to wash their hair
And I can build a telephone out of tin cans
So we can have some conversations across the string nobody understands
Say what?

Heaven and earth, body and soul
Tell me that you miss me now that I’m gone
Crosses in a field, strange men with huge hats
Two guitars and one violin
In rented black suits with the wrong size on
They try to play it, but they get it all wrong
Three different keys at once, that’s my favorite
That’s my favorite song

Hey, I’m free tonight
If you wanna go out and see a movie
And don’t call me pal
OK, bye
You’re my favorite
You’re my favorite
You’re my favorite

So don’t give up
Don’t give up

RYAN ADAMS – Lucky Now

I don’t remember, were we wild and young
All that’s faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don’t know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was

The lights will draw you in
And the dark will bring you down
And the night will break your heart
Only if you’re lucky now

Waiting outside while you find your keys
Like bags of trash in the blackening snow
City of neon and toes that freeze
We got nothing and nowhere to go
We got nothing and nowhere

The lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
And the night will break your heart
Only if you’re lucky now

If the lights draw you in
And the dark can take you down
Then love can mend your heart
But only if you’re lucky now

I don’t remember, were we wild and young
All that’s faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don’t know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was

RYAN ADAMS – Lovely And Blue

So glad that you found someone
Someone and so fast
It’s time to let go of someone
And put it to rest
But I don’t feel sorry for you
Not sorry at all
No I don’t feel sorry for him or for her
My world is gonna revolve
It’s gonna keep spinning around me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you’re the one she thinks she wants
It’s true, she’s lovely and blue

So now that it’s underground
And they’re talking too fast
Whatever that they’re talking about, it’s not me,
It’s all in the past
And I don’t feel sorry for you
I’m not sorry at all
No I don’t feel sorry, in fact just the opposite
My world is gonna revolve
It’s gonna keep spinning around me
The world where no one belongs to her
And you’re the one she wants
My world
My world is gonna revolve
It’s gonna to keep spinning round me, doll
The world where no one belongs to her
And you’re the one she thinks she wants
She thinks, she wants, the world
The world she thinks she wants
It’s hers and you’ll never get through
Oh god it’s so true
It’s true,
It’s true, she so lovely and blue

RYAN ADAMS – Kisses Start Wars

First things first, straight out of the box
it’s time to open your presents babe
here’s a family full of light I know it’s not much
This one is mine, I keep it with me all the time like a crutch
Like something ancient passed down from a father
something that nobody can touch

A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost

But don’t worry baby
it’s not you,
this can’t be as crazy
and these kisses start the wars

I got to taste her sleepin’
but like junkies hate the blood
like drunks with all their missin’ cigarettes
in apartments with skulls and blacked out windows

Artificial flowers and T.V. remote controls
I get lost, things change people don’t
people don’t, things change no

A kiss away from seeing the stars
you and I we are always on the way
on the way or in between the bars
and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost

But don’t worry baby
it’s not you,
this can’t be as crazy

Oh don’t, don’t worry baby
it’s not you, this can’t be as crazy
yeah these kisses start the wars
these kisses start the wars

RYAN ADAMS – Kindness

If you’re so kind can you let down your hand?
Can you let down your hand if you’re so kind?
If you’re so strong can you shelter the weak?
Will you listen as the strangers speak?
Bring them calm?

Kindness don’t ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain’t feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

If you’re so kind can you let down your hand?
Will you try and understand when it goes wrong?
Days come and gone and it’s been said and been done
I will shelter you with my love and my forgiveness

Kindness don’t ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain’t feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

Kindness don’t ask for much but an open mind
Kindness can cure a broken heart
Honey, I ain’t feeling kind

Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?

RYAN ADAMS – Invisible Riverside

Guess I’ll show my hand
Either way I’m losing
You still have the goods
Back when I couldn’t use them
Standing by the ocean
Like I’m frozen here in time

So don’t let go, don’t change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

I didn’t travel far
But my feet were moving
Couldn’t read the signs
They were too confusing
Standing by the ocean
Sunset boulevard

So don’t let go, don’t change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

I wanna lay my head
Forever on your shoulder
Stay with me my love
Now and when we’re older
Standing on the ocean
We got nothing now but time

Yea so don’t let go, don’t change your mind
If the stars fall into the oceanside
Someone pull the ribbons from my eyes free
My soul
Let it roll away
On an invisible riverside

RYAN ADAMS – I Love You But I Don’t Know What To Say

We belong here, we belong here
Ain’t nobody that can tell us we’re wrong
Help me say, say this to you
I’ll stand by your side, to see you through

I promise you that I’ll keep you safe from harm
I’ll love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you but I don’t know what to say

I was lost, I was lost
Tried to find the balance, got caught up in the cost
Let it go, when I met you
All the clouds parted, all that light came shining through

I promise you I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

I promise you that I will keep you safe from harm
And love you all the rest of my days
When the night is silent and we seem so far away
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say
Oh I love you and I don’t know what to say

RYAN ADAMS – Icebreaker

I don’t see you’ve gone past me
I don’t see it, don’t see it
Don’t see it, don’t see it at all

I don’t see them, they’re lookin’ for me
I don’t see them, they don’t see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice
The ice
Ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

I don’t see you’ve gone past me
I don’t see it, don’t see it
Don’t panic, they know you are numb

I don’t see them, they’re looking for me
I don’t see them, they don’t see me
Guess it was invisible

Ice, ice, ice
Ice, ice, ice
Icicle, icicle

There’s too many lights in here
And I don’t understand
I don’t understand
Where I’m goin’, whether I’m dead

There’s too many lights in here
And I don’t understand
I think I hear an angel singin’

Hear an angel softly beside you
Hear an angel ?? anymore
Underneath the ice, beneath all, you died twice

I don’t see you walkin’ past me
I don’t see you, don’t hear you
??

I don’t hear them, they’re lookin’ for me
I don’t hear them, they don’t hear me
Underneath the icicle

The ice
Ice, ice , ice

I don’t see you’ve gone past me
I don’t see it, don’t see it
Don’t see it, don’t see it at all

RYAN ADAMS – Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was late
But I was hiding in the back
Hiding in the back my hands would shake
Happy Birthday I’m your birthday cake

And I’m lit, and I’m baked
And I’m tired, I tried to escape
From the fight, I got untied
I was wrong, you were right…
I was wrong, you were right…
Happy Birthday

I told everybody I was clean
But I had clouds in my bath
Listening to music, reading poetry
Nodding off and nearly drowning myself

And it’s clear you’re clearly upset
Wanna smoke, but my smokes are all wet
I’ve got two, both of them lit
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday
I’m your birthday cake and I’m lit…
