3/31/2003 alternate lyrics

Thank god spring is here.

Could I borrow a dollar please
Fifty cents, fine.
Homeless, hungry.

And so, uh, anyways, in the spring
it gets a little easier then summer comes
and some nights it's a little hot but...
I can take it

I mean, I mean, I mean, I may not look like much,
but I, uh, I've had my day. I mean.
Yea. I might - I might smell a little too much
but wasn't always this way.
And who the fuck are you to judge me?

You never can tell, maybe it's a broken heart,
maybe it's... bad luck,
maybe you just get really fucking embarassed one day,
but I tell yea, things can turn out kinda,
well... unexpectedly so-to-speak.

I mean, you know. Look at me - look it,
I smell like liquor,
and in specific whatever it is
that I can get my f' hands on and...

Everyday all day if that's what I can get
I smell like liquor every minute
if that's what I can get then that's me
That's me, and you can walk by
in your fancy shoes and step over me
like I'm a piece of shit
but I don't care much of anything

And I'll tell you what, though,
when your day comes and
if I'm so lucky as to be staring at you
from inside of this dumpster and
someone steps over you and
I'll be the first one to point at you and...
laugh, out loud.

Anyway,
I was wondering if you could spare some change
Gimme....whatever you got,
I don't want anything in specific
Pennies are good, you know,
I mean... bills are better but
I mean you could...
Thank you so much for your loose change
that you couldn't even buy crumbs with
but as it will give me a potato...

Anyway, I apologize,
No I was gonna be a doctor and then I thought...
then I.... Then I thought... mmmm...
then somehow I don't know,
there's a blurry section in the middle there
and then the next thing you know
I'm sitting out here
smelling like whatever booze
I can get my hands on.

But you never know, do you?
How things are gonna turn out or if.....
you know, you could be.... different.
Dancing Nancies
main lyrics
Well, could I have been a parking lot attendant?
could I have been a millionaire in Bel Air?
could I have been lost somewhere in Paris?
could I have been your little brother?
could I have been anyone other than me?
could I have been, oh, anyone other than me?
could I have been anyone other than me?
could I have been anyone?

He stands, touch his hair, his shoes untied
tongue gaping, stare
could I have been a magnet for money?
could I have been anyone other than me?

Twenty-three and so tired of life
such a shame to throw it all away
the images grow darker still
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

I am who I am, who I am
well, who am I?
requesting some enlightenment
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
the thrill of it all
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
but I'll work it out

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy

Falling out of a world of lies
could I have been a dancing nancy
a dancing nancy
could I have been anyone other than me?

And then I'll sing and dance, la la la
hey la la la, hey la la la
sing and dance, la la la
hey la la la, hey la la la
sing and dance, I'll play for you tonight
the thrill of it all
dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
but I'll work it out

And then I look up at the sky, my mouth is open wide
lick and taste, what's the use in worrying?
what's the use in hurrying?
turn, turn, we almost become dizzy
