Permanent Broken Heart
(E)
Broken Toy Shop

I walked by your window
To see if you're home
The candle was burning
I could see you weren't alone
I shouldn't have gone by
But what could I do ?
I've never known anyone
Who was quite like you

Life ain't very easy
When you've got a permenent broken heart

I walk down the dirty street
And see the old man
But now he seems different
I think I understand
Well maybe he had a love
And swore it was true
But then he blew it away
Just like I lost you

Life ain't easy
When you've got a permanent broken heart

I'm looking out my window
But there's not much of a view
And my hat is still quite blue
Maybe I'll move away
To some other little town
And maybe I'll find that thing
I've never found

Life ain't easy when you've got a permanent broken heart

Pray
(E)
A Man Called E

Never much of a hopeful man
Nothing good to say
But I couldn't help it when I saw her
I had to know

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good I can be
Or how much I can pray

And soon I know her a little more
She's everything I dream
But, still I wonder what it would be like
If she left me

She don't know where to go
She don't know how to stay
And she don't know how good I can be
Or how much I still pray, I pray...

There must be something
That's following her
That keeps her from the day
There must be something
That makes me want to pray

She says she's alright
But she's not sure
And I'm not sure what that means
She says she's alright
But she needs some help
I don't know how
I don't know how
I don't know how...

P.S. You Rock My World

Electro-Shock Blues

I was at a funeral the day I realized
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the old post-office
The flag was flying at half-mast
And I was thinkin' bout how everyone is dying
And maybe it's time to live

I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Walked in to the thrif-tee
Saw the man with the hollow eyes
Who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'Cause I know I've only got this moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car

I don't know where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Laying in bed tonight I was thinking
And listening to all the dogs
And the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk

And maybe it's time to live
