Night after night it happens
I know it'll never change.
I get those endless cravings
I get those hunger pangs.
No matter what I'm eating
Just falls straight to the floor.
And now my stomach's turning
I must be running to the store
to get some more....
(Chorus)
Gotta find a way,
Find a day to rest.
Gotta find my wings,
Find something to spread.
Night after night, it happens,
It always hangs around.
My head is always buzzing
With noise I can't turn down.
And now my body's restless -
My heartrate's bound to soar.
Although my thoughts are spinning
I must be running to the store
To get some more....
Chorus
Go light
Go light
Go light
Go light - don't spread yourself too thin.
Don't mix whiskey and Ambien.

Jenny's Gone Fishin'
02:23

Jenny plays with her bait
While she waits to dictate
What she will and will not catch.
Jenny wheels and she deals
Till she steals a rod and reel
That will yield her the biggest catch.
Yeah, she was fast with her cast
In the past she would blast
Through about a hundred catches a day.
And when she threw in the blue
People knew they were screwed
And she wouldn't have it any other way.
Jenny stakes a good place
By the lake where she takes
Her time fishing just by the book.
She flops her perm when she turns
To the worms as the squirm
When she puts them each on a hook.
But she don't need what she reaps
She don't heed, she don't keep
What she catches all summer long.
She ain't eating, she's a vegan
And the reason that she's reeling
Is the sport of stringing them along.
(chorus)
She's gone fishin'
I was digging all the swimming
Before the slipping and the tripping
Over Jenny's fishing line.
And I was hooked, I was crooked,
I was booked, it sure looked
Like it was my turn this time.
And I was caught but I thought
She was soft and I aught
To have myself a brand new home.
But I was used and abused
And refused and cut loose,
Now I'm swimming back on my own.
Chorus

Woman
I'm down on my hands and knees
Woman
You take whatever you please
Woman
I thought that you needed me
To help you tell the forest from the trees.
Woman
You want to talk, of course
Woman
I talk until I am hoarse
Woman
What's wrong with old brute force?
'Cause you joined the dots and lost me - source.
(Chorus)
I got my head to the brick, to the brick, to the brick.
Woman
I gave it all to you
Woman
Now I have come unglued
Woman
I feel like I'm being used
'Cause you took my job, my place, my status, too.
Woman
You want to see me grow
Woman
Watch conversation flow
Woman
I'll reap what I have sewn
But I fail, and fail, and fail - it's all I know.
Chorus
Bridge:
"Oh boy, what's the confusion?
You seemed a bit stressed of late.
Oh boy, we're the solution.
There's no need to compensate."
But I won't go without a fight.
Don't you know that might makes right?
I spin my wheels as you take flight
On a web so vast, no end in sight.
Chorus

I'm not the guy who gets the girl.
I'm not the guy who sees the world.
When you feel all hope is lost
Just wait, you'll heal again.
Sometimes I feel all hope is lost
But I ain't Superman.
No, I just do what I can....
