Lyrics

1) Have a Lucky Day (live)
Time: 4:23
Sandman

From the "Super Sex" Single

I feel lucky I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
I have a seat at at a blackjack table
Swear to God the dealer has a tag says Mabel
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel
Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table
Players win winners play oh have a lucky day (x2)
Have a lucky day
Mabel gives me a great big smile
She's getting to know me she's on my side
On my side yea
I'm a winner (x3)
And I came to play now I know why they say
Players win winners play oh have a lucky day
Players win and winners play um have a lucky day
Have a lucky day
Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot
I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop
My luck has changed but she'll come back
That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't loose forever but I'm doomed to try
Keep on hearing a voice inside
Players win winners play oh have a lucky day
Players win and winners play yea have a lucky day
Have a lucky day (x2)


2) All Wrong (live)
Time: 3:40
Sandman

From the "Honey White" Single

She had black hair like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down
She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that served all over the road
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong
She had a way of making people feel good to be around her
As it should be
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong (x2)
All wrong
And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch and I collapse inside
It's all wrong all wrong
All wrong all wrong (x2)
All wrong


3) I Know You (part II live)
Time: 2:54
Sandman

From the "Honey White" Single

I know what the problem is
I know you
I know what the matter is
I know you
Cause you're just like me
Yea you're just like me and I know you
Cause you're just like me
Yea you're just like me and I know you


4) Bo's Veranda
Time: 3:14
Sandman

From the "Get Shorty" Soundtrack

(Instrumental)


5) Mile High
Time: 3:02
Sandman

From the "Things To Do In Denver When Your Dead" Soundtrack

Nothing's going to shake me
Nothing's going to bring me down
Nothing's going to shake me
Nothings going to make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same
Yea oh
Nothings going to shake me
Nothings going to make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same
And it's 1 2 3 4 everybody out the door
Let's go everyone everbody's got a gun
1 2 3 today is so easy
It's just a little bit of that simple simplicity ow
Everything is shimmering
(1 2 3 4 everybody out the door)
Let's go ? fast
(let's go everyone everybody's got a gun)
And everything that happened to me
(1 2 3 today is so easy)
Happened to me for the best
(it's just a little bit of that simple simplicity)
Ow
I got an action packed extravaganta
I got a sweet haiku
I got the cash to cover the action
I got the soul food
There's a flag I wanna fly
A mountain that I put in time
I was always on my way
Nothing's going to shake me
Nothing's going to make me change
That's the way I am and I'll always be the same
Mile high (x6)


6) Shame
Time: 2:44
Sandman

From the "Cure For Pain" Single
OR
The "Buena" Single

I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do to change it
Nothing I could do to make things change
This is my shame (x2)
I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it
Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake
I felt bad but what's done is done
Just one thing remains
This is my shame (x2)
I know your mad at me
I know you want to cut my throat
I know you think I think it's all a joke
I don't (x2)
I felt bad but there was nothing I could do about it
Nothing I could do to make it go away
I woke up and thought
Everything's going to be alright
Everything's going to be ok
Then it hit me like a wave (x2)
This is my shame (x3)
Woh


7) Down Love's Tributaries
Time: 8:08
Sandman

From the "Cure For Pain" Single

Meanwhile
Down love's tributaries
In a canoe on my knees
She takes me anywhere anywhere she pleases
Vines surround us long and red
Curling around our arms and legs
Breaking through we have a drink and somehow find ourselves in sync so
We continue on and on there's no time to think right now
Perhaps another day is lost
[ the rest coming soon ]


8) Kerouac
Time: 2:54
Sandman

From the "Kerouac - kicks joy darkness" Tribute Album

Kerouac yea Kerouac
His words the words so many words just
All brothers of the same horn sisters the saxophone
Notes music words a melody a quote a figure eight a figure
If you listen close to the drummer
It's like a mirror and your invisible
Like your in a back seat
No handles on the doors just a beautiful driver up front
She knows where she's going
Kerouac the observation machine
Caressing the most passing of scenes with photographic love
Passionate photographic love
venerable as anyone knew
His memories pull shades up and down
Doors are not done telegrams arrive
Every morning something extra ???
Remembering everything like a snatch of melody
A drumbeat remembering mythologizing
So fast all the time moving
The words the words are drumsticks pounding out drum beats
Like a monk like a monk melody
With mistakes yea mistakes and sudden inspirations
Edges corners explosions convections
All fast through a slow motion landscape
Yea fast through a slow motion landscape


9) Pulled Over The Car
Time: 2:56
Sandman

From the Japanese version of "Yes"

I was driving my car driving my car
I was getting kind of tired so I pulled over the car
Pulled over the car I pulled over the car
I got out of the car walked around the car
I got a little air I felt better
I got back in the car back in the car
Well as soon as I got back behind the wheel
I felt all tired again
So I pulled over the car I pulled over the car
I got out of the car walked around the car
I got a little air I felt better
I felt better I felt much much better
So I got back in the car back in the car
Well as soon as I got back behind the wheel
I felt all tired again
So I pulled over the car I pulled over the car
I got out of the car walked around the car
I got a little air I felt better
I got a little air I felt better
I felt much much much much better
I got back in the car I got back in the car
Well you know as soon as I got back behind the wheel I felt all sleepy and tired again
But I can't be pulled over every 15 minutes
just because I feel a little sleepy and tired
So I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel
Yes I kept on driving fell asleep at the wheel
I hit a tuck I hit a truck
I got out of the car I walked around the car
I checked it out
Totaled

12) My Brain
Time: 2:45
Sandman

From the "Cure For Pain" Single

My whole brain was out of tune (x2)
I don't know how to tune a brain do you
Went into a brain shop
They said they'd have to rebuild the whole head
I said well do what you got to do
When I got my brain back
Didn't work right
Didn't have as many good ideas
Haven't really had a good idea since I got it fixed
