[Verse 1] Im bringing back ghosts That are no longer there Im getting hard on myself Sitting in my easy chair Well, theres three people in the mirror And Im wondering which one of them I should choose Well, I cant keep from laughing Spitting out these 300 mile per hour outpour blues [Verse 2] Im breaking my teeth off Trying to bite my lip Theres all kinds of redheaded women That I aint supposed to kiss And its that color which never fails To turn me blue So I just swallow it and hold on to it And use it to scare the hell out of you [Verse 3] I have a woman Says come and watch me bleed And Im wondering just how I can do that And still give her everything that she needs Well, theres three people in my head that have the answer And one of them has got to be you But youre holding tight to it, the answer Singing these three hundred mile per hour outpour blues [Verse 4] Put on gloves, a tied scarf and wrap up warm On this winter night Every time you get defensive Youre just looking for a fight Its safe to sing somebody out theres got a problem With almost anything youll do Well, next time they stab you dont fight back just play the victim Instead of playing the fool [Verse 5] And the roads are covered with a million Little molecules Of cigarette ashes and the school floors are covered With pieces of pencil eraser too Well sooner or later the grounds gonna be holding all Of my ashes too But I cant help but wonder if after Im gone will I still have these three hundred mile per hour, finger breaking, no answers making, battered dirty hands, bee stung and busted up, empty cup torrential outpour blues [Outro] One things for sure in that graveyard Im gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes
