1. HOW YOU GONNA SEE ME NOW

Dear darlin' surprised to hear from me?
Bet you're sittin' drinkin' coffee, yawnin' sleepily
Just to let you know
I'm gonna be home soon
I'm kinda awkward and afraid
Time has changed your point of view

How you gonna see me now
Please don't see me ugly babe
'Cause i know i let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we've been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home

Listen darlin' now i'm heading for the west
Straightened out my head but my old heart is still a mess
Yes i'm worried honey
Guess that's natural though
It's like i'm waiting for a welcome sign
Like a hobo in the snow

How you gonna see me now
Please don't see me ugly babe
'Cause i know i let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we've been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home

And just like the first time
We're just strangers again
I might have grown out of style
In the place i've been
And just like the first time
I'll be shakin' inside
When i walk in the door
There'll be no place to hide

How you gonna see me now
please dont see me ugly, babe
'cause i feel like i let you down
in oh so many ways

How you gonna see me now
Please don't see me ugly babe
'Cause i know i let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we've been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home


2. NO TRICKS

No tricks up my sleeve
I kicked the downs and now i'm clean
No shakes up my spine
I beat the speed and i dumped the wine

No tracks that was yesterday
I changed my style, the way i play
Don't you believe it
No blues, no depression
No more panic or obsession

Don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door

Oh, this kid's straight and put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins
And check my eyes

No tracks that was yesterday
I changed my style, the way I play
Don't you believe it
No blues, no depression
No more panic or obsession

Some tricks just go away
And other tricks, they're here to stay
Oh don't you know me?
Sometimes my spirit's willin'
The flesh is weak and that's what's killin'

Don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door

Hey, now this kid's straight, put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins
And check my eyes

I tried so hard but i'm hurting for another fix
It's just this habit i, i can always kick
What do you say there friend?
Don't you call me

It's just a game
And i can beat it any day
No matter what this lovely lady say
Hey, wanna be my friend?

Some tricks they go away
And other tricks, they're here to stay
Oh don't you know me?
Sometimes my spirit's willin'
The flesh is weak and that's what's killin'

Oh, don't you believe anything he said
All them junkies, talk that way
It's just as bad as it was before
I see the man knockin' at his back door

I said, this kid's straight and put on ice
The street corner deals at any price
Come on and check my veins
And check my eyes
