Slug Lyrics by Paula Kelley

Nothing / Everything

2001

[Verse 1]
Downtime up-tide
You cry, my eyes are sore
Bad luck, don't talk very much
I've been cold-hearted before

[Verse 2]
Bad dreams, it seems
Low steam quarter to four
Insight, can't sleep through the night
I've been cold places, and so when you're

[Chorus]
Making a big deal of it
And you just can't get real with it
You're talking so much crap, your voice is rough
And your head is in the thick of it
Well, come on, I'm getting sick of it
And you, you can't get enough

[Verse 3]
Mistakes, headaches
Bad days, what are they for?
Back roads, they wind as they go
So why do we come for more?

[Chorus]
And you're making a big deal of it
And you just can't get real with it
You're taking so much crap, you're not that tough
And your head is in the rough of it
Well, come on, I've had enough of it
And you, yeah, live for that stuff

[Verse 1]
Downtime up-tide
Don't cry, I've been there before
'Cause back roads, yeah, they wind as they go
For good, for miles
