Tear down the house that I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
And take everything that I've collected
And throw it in a pile
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name
Park the old car that I loved the best
Inspection's due, and it won't pass the test
It's funny how I have to put it to rest
And how one day I will join it
I remember cryin' over you
And I don't mean like a couple of tears and I'm blue
I'm talkin about collapsin and screamin at the moon
But I'm a better man for havin gone through it
Yes I'm a better man for havin' gone through
Ever since I learned how to curse
I've been using those sorry old words
But I'm talkin' to these children
And I'm keepin' it clean
I don't need those words to say what I mean,
No, I don't need those words to say what I mean
Tear down the house that I grew up in
I'll never be the same again
Take everything that I used to own
And burn it in a pile
Bulldoze the woods that I ran through
Carry the pictures of me and you
I have no memory of who I once was
And I don't remember your name

I hear the tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's water fall.
Hear the gentle lamb of Judah, sleeping at the feet of Buddha.
And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka.
Take their places at the table when they're called.
I hear them all.
I hear them all.
I hear them all.

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cause nothing I have is truly mine

| In our wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground
And all day it seems we've been in between the past and future town
We are nowhere, and it's now
We are nowhere, and it's now
You took a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat
While the world it was flying by
I haven't been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime
I'm in such a rut of unhappiness and frustration. I want to be away from this trapped feeling, I want to remember how to feel free.

Horse you ride white as snow
Slim Slow Slider
Horse you ride white as snow
Tell it everywhere you go
Saw you walking
Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning
Saw you walking
Down by the Ladbroke Grove this morning
Catching pebbles for some sandy beach
You're out of reach
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your cadillac
Saw you early this morning
With your brand new boy and your cadillac
You're gone for something
And I know you won't be back
I know you're dying, baby
And I know you know it too
I know you're dying
And I know you know it too
Everytime I see you
I just don't know what to do...
I just want to learn how to let my heart be at peace.
