I'm  bringing back ghosts
 That are no longer there
 I'm gettin' hard  on myself
 Sittin' in my easy chair
 Well, there's three people  in the mirror
 And I'm wonderin'  which one of them  I should choose
 Well, I can't keep  from laughin'
 Spittin' out these 300  mile per hour  outpour blues
 I'm breakin' my teeth off
 Tryin' to bite my lip
 There's all kinds of red-headed women
 That I ain't supposed to kiss
 And it's that color that 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
 I have a woman
 'Says come and watch me bleed
 And I'm wonderin' just how I can do that
 And still give her everything that she needs
 Well, there's three people in my head that have the answer
 And one of them's got to be you
 But you're holding tight to it -- the answer
 Singin' these three hundred mile per hour outpour blues
 Put on gloves, a tied scarf and wrap up warm
 On this winter night
 Everytime you get defensive
 You're just looking for a fight
 It's safe to sing somebody out there's got a problem
 With almost anything you'll do
 Well, next time they stab you don't fight back just play the victim
 Instead of playin' the fool
 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 ground's gonna be holdin' all
 Of my ashes too
 But I can't help but wonder if after I'm gone will I still have these three hundred mile per
 hour, finger breaking, no answers makin', battered dirty hands, bee stung and busted up, empty
 cup torrential outpour blues
 One thing's for sure: in that graveyard
 I'm gonna have the shiniest pair of shoes
